The shock wave, mixed with rolling dust and smoke and carrying numerous fragments of rubble, struck them. At the moment of the explosion, Luo'er quickly embraced Baiyue, then shielded her with his back to prevent her from being hit by the debris.
Fortunately, because it was a directional blast, their position wasn't directly impacted by the shock wave, sparing them from being hit by the fragments.
After the explosion ended, Luo'er let go of Baiyue, then looked down at her and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"Mhm..." Baiyue, with her head lowered and cheeks flushed red, didn't dare to make direct eye contact with Luo'er.
"That's good," Luo'er nodded, then raised his rifle to work the action and loudly commanded, "Barrier cleared, everyone prepare to enter the tomb chamber."
Ignoring the tender moment between the two, Tangmo walked straight up to the blasted opening of the tomb chamber and threw in an activated Magic Crystal.
