The Target of Public Criticism

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the golden wheel flames exploded violently, and a powerful energy spread out from its body.

The temperature, which had already dropped considerably, rose again.

Sun Bai, who was unleashing high-level magic, had his newly completed constellation instantly disintegrate under the influence of the energy explosion of the Golden Wheel Flame.

But if it completely dissipates, then there's nothing to worry about. Unfortunately, Sun Bai had already thrown the flame in his hand away.

In an instant, the flames from the high-level magic Heavenly Flame Funeral went out of control, and fueled by the Golden Wheel Flame, the flames, now devoid of magical support, grew even more intense.

The next second, flames fell from the sky, indiscriminately striking Sun Yang and his group, as well as the Azure Crocodile Pseudo-Dragon.

Screams erupted one after another.

Humans are significantly less resistant to fire than demons, so even while under attack by flames, the crocodile pseudo-dragon continued to attack Sun Yang and his group.

Before long, some of Sun Yang's mid-level mages began to die.

Faced with the threat of death, Sun Yang and the others had no choice but to abandon their plan to suppress and subdue the Golden Wheel Flame and instead join forces to deal with the Azure Crocodile Pseudo-Dragon.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Golden Wheel Flame darted away and escaped from its original spot.

……

A short distance from the open space where they had just been, the golden wheel of flames had barely stopped to rest when a chilling aura swept over them from the side.

The golden flames desperately tried to evaporate the cold air by radiating heat, but after the fierce battle, its strength was much weaker than before. It was directly hit by the cold air and fell to the ground from mid-air.

"I thought we wouldn't be able to get this, but after fighting for so long, we still managed to snatch it up."

As soon as he finished speaking, four figures, one large and three small, emerged from behind a large tree on one side. They were Lin Chen and his group.

It turned out that long before the golden flame was about to be born, Lin Chen and his group had arrived several hundred meters away and were observing the development of events in the field with the help of binoculars.

Lin Chen and the others, who had already planned to leave, saw the frequent unexpected events on the battlefield and the escape of the Golden Wheel Flame, so they came ahead of the route the Golden Wheel Flame was taking to wait for it.

"Little Orange, wait a minute!" Liu Lin saw Lin Chen approaching the golden flame and quickly reminded him, "You're not a fire mage, so you can't refine this soul seed. Besides, this soul seed has a strong spirituality, unlike ordinary fire seeds. Touching it rashly might be dangerous."

"I know, I'll give it a try," Lin Chen nodded and replied.

Lin Chen would certainly not rashly touch something unknown, even if it is exceptionally precious and extremely attractive.

In fact, when the Ice Soul Sword knocked down the Golden Wheel Flame, Lin Chen had already asked the system. The system told him that the Golden Wheel Flame could enhance his strength, but it did not explain in detail how it would enhance it.

Upon arriving at the Golden Wheel Flame, Lin Chen discovered that the frost enveloping it had evaporated into water vapor, and the surrounding temperature was slowly rising.

Lin Chen stretched out his left hand and immediately felt a burning heat coming from his fingers.

But the next second, a flash of white light appeared, and the golden flame disappeared from its original spot, reappearing in the ring on Lin Chen's hand.

Seeing the golden flames that Lin Chen had so easily put away, Liu Lin and the others were only slightly surprised before they came to their senses and didn't think much of it.

After putting away the Golden Wheel Flame, Lin Chen and the others did not linger and immediately headed towards Anjie.

……

call!

A whooshing sound suddenly came from the side, and Agumon, who was running at high speed, immediately stopped.

The next second, a huge fiery fist grazed past Agumon's nose.

"Boy, hand over the soul seed to me now."

No sooner had he finished speaking than three figures rushed out from the side at an extremely fast speed. The newcomers were none other than the three Sun brothers.

"It's you!" Sun Bai exclaimed as he recognized the figure in front of him.

"Ah Bai, do you know him?" Sun Yang frowned.

"Brother, it was this kid who stole the Ice Soul Sword. We were worried we'd made a mistake and caused unnecessary trouble, but it seems it must have been this kid." Sun Bai laughed loudly.

"What are you talking about? What soul seed?" Lin Chen pretended to be stupid, but it was impossible for him to admit it.

"Heh, besides us, there's only your group deep in the Poyang Lake wetlands, and you even possess the Ice Soul Sword. If you didn't take the Soul Seed, who else could it be!" Sun Yang sneered, saying viciously, "But it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. We'll kill you all and then we'll know the result."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Yang threw a punch. The huge fiery fist, like a meteor, smashed directly towards Lin Chen and the others with unparalleled power.

"Don't fight it head-on, run!" Lin Chen patted Agumon's head and ordered.

Agumon slammed its legs off the ground, its body transforming into a black shadow, shooting out like lightning and easily dodging Sun Yang's attack.

"Hey kid, don't run! Stop right there!" Sun Yang shouted from behind.

"Only a fool wouldn't run away!" Lin Chen mocked, lying on Agumon's back.

"Chase!" Sun Yang waved his hand, and a pair of magical shoes appeared under the feet of the three of them at the same time, quickly chasing after Agumon.

"Damn, they actually have magical artifacts. No wonder they caught up so quickly." Lin Chen looked at the three people chasing closely behind him and couldn't help but exclaim.

As for whether Sun Yang and his group would catch up with him, Lin Chen wasn't worried at all. After all, the durability of the magic tool was far inferior to that of a warrior-level summoned beast.

But reality is always cruel.

Just as Lin Chen and his group were about to escape the pursuit of Sun Yang and his group, two enormous blue creatures appeared in front of them.

The newcomers were none other than the Azure Crocodile Pseudo-Dragon and the Giant Azure Crocodile.

Upon seeing these two enormous creatures, Agumon stopped in its tracks and warily observed the Azure Crocodile Pseudo-Dragon ahead.

"What's going on? Wasn't this crocodile pseudo-dragon fighting fiercely with the middle-aged man's group? How come they suddenly joined forces and surrounded me?"

Lin Chen was immediately frustrated.

……

Time goes back to ten minutes ago.

After the golden flames disappeared, Sun Yang and his companions immediately lost the will to continue fighting the Azure Crocodile Pseudo-Dragon and began to retreat towards the golden flames while still fighting.

When the crocodile pseudo-dragon saw Sun Yang and the others begin to leave their current location, it inexplicably relaxed its attacks on them.

After Sun Yang and his group had all left the open area where they had been, the Azure Crocodile Pseudo-Dragon stopped attacking them and headed straight for its lair.

Not long after the crocodile pseudo-dragon left, it encountered its subordinates on its way back. The subordinates told it that the crocodile eggs it had laid had been stolen by humans.

The image of Sun Yang and the others immediately appeared in the mind of the crocodile pseudo-dragon, and it immediately turned around and chased after them.

By sheer chance and a series of unexpected events, the pseudo-dragon crocodile unexpectedly blocked Lin Chen and the others' path.

For a time, Lin Chen and his group found themselves in a life-or-death crisis, caught between a rock and a hard place.
