“boom!”

a tiny bolt of lightning as wide as a person fell and smashed into the ground, creating a huge pit.

the place where it hit, the sand, stones, and corpses were all turned into scorched earth and black charcoal. it was a shocking sight, and it was too tragic to look at.

“retreat! leave the dark cloud-shrouded area! hurry up!”

bai wushang shouted with all his might. at the same time, he activated several defensive precious artifacts, turned around, and madly ran.

generally, it was a contractual relationship between the master and the pet. bai wushang was the only individual life form that could approach forest soul in its extreme berserk state without being attacked.

when he was at a suitable distance, he released the forced retrieval light without thinking and stored the dragonblood nymph into the pet space.

in the current situation, if he didn’t take it back.

every second he delayed, there was a higher chance of breaking the contract.

there was also the possibility of being struck by the uncontrollable power of lightning and instantly turning into charcoal, completely losing their vitality.

these two outcomes were not something that bai wushang could bear.

therefore, the only way was to take it back and provide it with an absolutely safe haven to make it calm down.

“roar!”

a huge creature jumped out of the shadow with some difficulty.

it was the dark gold demonic ape that had grown in size after its evolution.

at this stage, the effect of the stealth skill was actually reduced.

the shadow was too narrow, so it was a little difficult to get in and out.

this was one of the few negative growth abilities ah zhou had.

bai wushang was aware of this, but he didn’t have the heart to think too much.

they listened to the rumbling thunder that sounded like the angry heaven duke.

the edge of the dark cloud was still expanding, and it was almost a thousand meters in diameter.

bai wushang’s face was very tense.

he transmitted his thoughts and tried to communicate with xiao ci.

but he didn’t get any response.

at this moment, it was at the core of the lightning vortex, like a small sun hanging in the sky, wrapped in layers of lightning.

this meant that its evolution was not complete and it still needed time.

“ah zhou, let’s go!”

bai wushang no longer hesitated. he took off the renaga armor and jumped onto the dark gold demonic ape’s open palm.

he climbed down a few times and landed on its shoulder. he grabbed a strand of hair to stabilize his center of gravity.

thump thump thump!

the giant ape began to run wildly, using both its hands and feet to blast away pile after pile of corpses. soon, it was out of the dark clouds.

finally, they stood in front of another section of the stronghold. just as bai wushang was about to say something, the color of the protective light array beside them suddenly changed from a dim fluorescent color to a milky white.

jia huanhuan’s clear voice was heard at the same time, ”

” the safety zone’s protective spell formation has been restored. the energy pool has been successfully replenished. the defense is estimated to be restored to 70% of its peak state. ”

” it’s more than enough to resist the peak of the complete form. the risk of the ultimate form is still there. however, 0812 still has an annihilating talisman that has not been activated … ”

bai wushang was slightly startled, and then he said happily, ”

“enough! zhang qingwu, chen hui, xiaorou, and jiang feng, make the arrangements to move the main force to the other areas of the stronghold. the beast tide is too big, and this lightning and dark cloud will definitely not affect the overall situation. get them to go and support the other areas.”

” then, the injured, tired, and in poor condition combat units, all return to the safe zone to hide and rest … ”

bai wushang had just issued the transfer order when he heard zhang qingwu ask, ”

“what about you? should we go to room 0233 after the lightning blade mantis finishes its evolution?”

“right!” bai wushang nodded and said, ”

” i didn’t expect xiao ci’s evolution to trigger such a huge phenomenon. ”

” but this is a good thing. with the thunderclouds, at least the beast tide in this area will temporarily collapse and can’t gather together. ”

” with the addition of the repaired array, we don’t need too many people here. just a small team will do. the rest of you, follow me to 0233! ”

pausing for a moment, bai wushang raised his head to look at the figure in the sky.

his eyes twitched, and he emphasized again, ”

” the light of evolution is already dimming. the evolved xiao ci must have a huge advantage in attributes and speed. ”

” i’ll be in charge of taking the lead later. i hope to minimize the possible risks and potential losses that the team might face! ”

“alright!” chen hui replied in a straightforward manner.

five minutes later, the thundercloud had expanded to a diameter of 1300 meters, and then slowly stopped.

immediately after, bean-sized raindrops poured down like a hole in the sky, pouring down in one go.

the wind whistled, and thunder rumbled one after another on the battlefield. it was not a scene of doomsday, but it was more like one.

“thunderbolt!”

a loud and clear cry, full of energy, passed through the curtain of rain and the deafening sound of thunder, and fell into bai wushang’s ears.

as the water vapor rose and the water rippled, a golden light flashed.

a purple figure wrapped in endless electric arcs broke through the water curtain and waterfall that connected the heaven and earth. like the rising sun, it appeared in front of bai wushang.

“thunderbolt!”

the praying mantis called out affectionately, its tone relaxed and full of joy, revealing a strong sense of excitement.

it subconsciously wanted to get closer, but when it saw the dense golden electric arcs jumping around its body and its fragile master, it had to stop and hover in the air.

“xiao ci … you’ve changed a lot …”

bai wushang took a closer look, and no matter how mentally prepared he was, he was still stunned in place.

he still remembered that xiao ci’s body had reached seven meters when she was in her late-stage of maturation.

but now, it had decreased in size and returned to about five meters.

however, it had changed too much. its original silver-gray shell had now become a transparent, dreamy purple, like a crystal.

the originally metallic purple sickle turned into a bright golden color, the color of the noon sun. it was so bright that no one dared to look at it directly.

at first glance, bai wushang saw that xiao ci’s image of being free and easy as the wind had been completely subverted.

it was even more beautiful, noble, and domineering than ah zhou’s double pupils and all his buffs.

it didn’t look like an segmented zerg at all. from inside out, from bottom to top, it only had a noble, noble, and reverence from the soul!
