"Young Hall Master."

Beside the more than a hundred guards of Thunder Hall, there stood several Dongyi Race Hermits.

One of the Upper Concealment Hermits, seeing Lei Xiaotian in such a frenzied state, was inwardly annoyed but remained expressionless. He stepped forward and said, "I ask the Young Hall Master to act first to rescue our tribe’s trapped hermits."

"Where are they?"

Lei Xiaotian asked.

"Over there."

The Upper Concealment Hermit pointed in the direction of a cave not far away.

In fact, if we simply blow up the poison insects in the valley, most of the insects there would likely disperse as well.

However, despite the commotion here, none of the hermits in that cave had shown up, unsettling him slightly.

But on second thought, he assumed there should be no problem.

The place was swarming with poison insects, making it impossible to set foot.

The hermits in the cave couldn’t come out, and outsiders naturally couldn’t go in.

Lei Xiaotian casually commanded a few Thunder Hall guards, "You guys go with him, blast open a passage over there, and rescue them."

There weren’t many poison insects over there, nor any big ones, clearly lacking the intensity of those in the valley!

Lei Xiaotian saw clearly that there were four mutant poison insects at the bottom of the valley: a giant snake over three meters long, a spider the size of a washbasin, a centipede about ten feet long, and a toad as big as a calf.

"Blow them up for me!"

Lei Xiaotian waved the command flag, baring his teeth, focusing more and more on the excitement while staring at the four struggling and screaming poison insects at the bottom of the valley.

The giant snake was blasted, its body covered in wounds, bleeding profusely.

The centipede had a hard shell for protection, being repeatedly blown away under firearms attack, yet it could still turn over and crawl back up.

Some of its shells were already broken and falling off, with flames burning on it.

The spider also had two legs blown off, opening its large mouth, hissing miserably.

"Goo goo!"

The colorful toad made a series of sounds as it jumped around the valley, dodging falling firearms.

Compared to the giant snake, centipede, and spider, the toad indeed was much more agile.

However, the dreadful nature of firearms laid in their wide range of attack.

Even if the toad avoided the landing points, it still got injured by the impact waves.

Originally, its body was still colorful.

Later on, it was entirely soaked in blood.

Several pieces of its flesh were blown off, with some wounds even burnt black.

But after living for hundreds of years in this primeval forest, swallowing the essence of the sun and moon, its life force was robust. At this moment, it glared at Lei Xiaotian, who was waving the command flag, and charged over!

"Young Hall Master, beware!"

The Thunder Hall guards quickly reminded, planning to cover Lei Xiaotian’s retreat and open up distance.

"No worries!"

Lei Xiaotian pushed away the guard blocking him and shouted, "Leave this one to me!"

He fixed his gaze on the toad, and as it got closer and opened its mouth to scream, he swiftly acted, shooting a red light from his sleeve!

The toad, severely injured from explosions, was already less agile and moved sluggishly.

Furthermore, the red light came too fast for it to dodge, and it instantly swallowed it.

"Bang!"

Lei Xiaotian watched intently, a faint sound escaping his lips.

Boom!

Under everyone’s eyes, the toad’s head suddenly exploded.

The red light’s power was so great that it almost blew the toad the size of a calf into a mist of blood!

Several droplets of blood even splattered towards the Thunder Hall men.

Initially, the three men didn’t notice when the blood landed on them.

But soon, they felt intense pain from their bodies!

When they looked down, they saw the toad’s blood corroding their clothes, creating holes and reaching their skin!

Moreover, their skin was rotting at a visible speed where it touched the toad’s blood!

"Aah! Aah! Aah!"

The three men screamed miserably.

Someone instinctively grabbed the wound.

This action not only failed to stop the injury’s spread but also caused the hand to be tainted by the toad’s poisonous blood, rotting rapidly to reveal white bones!

The corrosive spread of the poisonous blood was extremely fast, making the Thunder Hall men shudder.

"Hmph!"

Lei Xiaotian suddenly stepped forward and, drawing the long knife at his waist, chopped off one person’s arm.

The severed arm fell, and blood gushed out.

The person fainted from the pain.

Fortunately, his life was spared.

The severed arm, within a few breaths, was corroded by the toad’s poisonous blood, leaving only a few bones.

The other two suffered the same fate, with their flesh corroded away in no time, leaving corpses in the wild!

"What a formidable poison!"

The Thunder Hall men felt an anxious dread in their hearts.

Lei Xiaotian seemed indifferent, still commanding everyone to keep bombing the giant snake, spider, and centipede in the valley.

At this moment, four people rushed out from the courtyard of the Medical Hidden Hall.

Among them were Medical Master Mo Ming and his disciple Su Li.

Seeing the other person, Lei Xiaotian laughed and shouted, "Shen Zhiyuan, you cannot escape!"

"Lei Xiaotian!"

Upon seeing him, Shen Zhiyuan furrowed his brows deeply.

He was secretly frightened by the surrounding devastation.

Just then, the Thunder Hall guards who had followed the hermits returned quickly, their expressions heavy, as if they had seen something terrifying.

"Young Hall Master, something’s off."

One of them said, "All the dozens of hermits in the cave are dead, none survived!"

"Huh?"

Lei Xiaotian was stunned, "All dead? Who killed them?"

"I don’t know."

The man shook his head.

Lei Xiaotian glanced around; there was no one else nearby.

The only additional person seemed to be the tall young man with Shen Zhiyuan’s group, carrying a bow and arrow, holding a long sword, looking younger than him.

This person could have killed dozens of hermits?

He wouldn’t believe it even if beaten to death.

He knew some of the hermits’ capabilities.

If they couldn’t win, wouldn’t they have escaped?

Lei Xiaotian asked again, "Where are the remaining hermits?"

"They’ve already entered the valley, ready to act at any moment."

The guard answered.

"Go!"

Lei Xiaotian raised his arm to rally them, "Let’s go see for ourselves."

"Be cautious, Young Hall Master."

A guard quickly reminded.

The poison insects in the valley had been mostly dead due to the bombing, and the remaining had long fled in fright.

There were almost no living creatures below, except for the barely surviving giant snake, centipede, and spider.

"It’s fine."

Lei Xiaotian was nonchalant, "I’ll go down and give them a ’Fire Meteor’ to send them on their way, haha!"

With that, Lei Xiaotian used his Body Technique, chasing after Shen Zhiyuan.

As soon as he reached the bottom of the valley, he saw the remaining hermits already acting!

Two Upper Concealment Hermits and three Middle Concealment Hermits acted together.

One of the Upper Concealment Hermits attacked Shen Zhiyuan.
