Even though Bluesea was a soldier and had witnessed countless scenes of shocking artillery fire, facing such a life-and-death moment still sent a chill down his spine and caused him to break out in a cold sweat.
His heart pounding, Bluesea heard footsteps approaching from a distance. Chen Xiaolian appeared in front of him, his blade still smeared with fresh blood.
"I've taken care of it," Chen Xiaolian said to Bluesea with a slight smile.
"… Thank you," Bluesea extended his hand to Chen Xiaolian.
Chen Xiaolian shook Bluesea's hand, "Let's find your companions and leave this place quickly. These monstrosities... there might be even more."
Bluesea nodded and stepped forward, but before leaving, he looked back once more.
In just a few seconds, the pillar behind him had almost melted in half, its side facing the flames still emitting a faint dark red.
