Seeing the pillar of fire rise, Chen Bugu seemed to realize something, his eyes flashed silver, and he immediately entered "Bullet Time."
He dragged afterimages behind him, quickly rushed to the end of the alley, and then chased in the direction where the two dark figures disappeared, as that was also the direction from which the pillar of fire rose.
The houses on both sides continuously receded as he passed, and he easily overtook the two dark figures, allowing Chen Bugu to clearly see their appearance.
Mulin Tribe!
This is a small-statured race; their heads resemble rats, possessing sharp teeth and blue eyes. Several long whiskers hanging from their mouths help them better sense changes in air currents, thereby detecting enemy movements.
This race has always lived underground, possessing excellent senses of smell and hearing. The tiny scales covering their bodies are also their sharpest venomous spines. When they raise their dense scales, they are almost indistinguishable from a cactus covered in venomous spines.
While the individual strength of the Mulin Tribe is not high, besides their appearance, they also bear a strong resemblance to rats in one other aspect: their extremely strong reproductive capabilities.
Therefore, this race is numerous and frequently active in the shadows of various camps.
Chen Bugu only glanced at them before withdrawing his attention and continuing to sprint forward.
Finally, after turning another corner, he saw a familiar figure.
That person stood in the center of the alley, with flames burning on his arms and legs. Even the inch-long scar on the side of his face was constantly overflowing with red flames.
Wang Bin!
Before Chen Bugu could get close, he saw Wang Bin pounce on the nearest enemy.
That was also a Mulin Tribe member, currently holding a poisoned dagger and rushing towards the door behind Wang Bin.
Wang Bin kicked away the weapon in the Mulin Tribe member's hand, then spread his arms and tightly embraced the small-statured Mulin Tribe member.
Immediately after, in the eyes of everyone, Wang Bin was completely engulfed by flames, turning into a thorough "fire person."
Within the black hollows where the "fire person's" eyes should be, a more frenzied emotion than fire itself pulsed—an extreme madness.
Accompanied by his roar, another pillar of fire shot into the sky.
When the flames dissipated, the flames on Wang Bin's face and body also vanished. He gasped for breath and opened his embrace.
The small Mulin Tribe member's scales were all burned away, and the exposed skin was scorched black. Only the whites of his blue eyes remained. He collapsed to the ground, with only a final breath left.
At this moment, Chen Bugu noticed that not far away, another Mulin Tribe member was in a similar tragic state, which seemed to be the masterpiece left by the previous pillar of fire.
"Who else wants to come?!"
Wang Bin's face was ferocious, and as he spoke, a wisp of flame escaped his mouth, scorching the air in front of him into a distortion.
Behind the distorted air, his eyes were filled with killing intent, making anyone who looked at them tremble with fear.
Eight-star!
Chen Bugu was secretly startled; the combat power Wang Bin had just displayed was equivalent to eight-star.
Moreover, the killing intent revealed in Wang Bin's eyes just now, the intensity of his malevolence, was something even Chen Bugu could feel from ten meters away.
Just as Chen Bugu was stunned, a holy light emanated from inside the house, landing precisely on Wang Bin.
Enveloped by the holy light, Wang Bin's wounds healed rapidly at a visible speed, and some of the malevolence in his eyes also receded.
Seeing this, Chen Bugu completely breathed a sigh of relief. From the current situation on the field, he had not arrived late.
As Chen Bugu thought this, he had already arrived beside Wang Bin. The moment he disengaged "Bullet Time," he felt a fiery fist swiftly strike towards his face.
Chen Bugu was too fast. When Wang Bin noticed someone suddenly appearing beside him, his heart jolted, and his body instinctively threw a punch.
However, this flaming punch had no effect.
The punch was easily parried, and the flames were strangely swallowed by black water in front of Wang Bin's eyes, then completely frozen.
Wang Bin was greatly alarmed. Just as he was about to pull back and counterattack, that voice suddenly appeared by his ear.
"Binge Ge, it's me!"
The flames completely extinguished.
The familiar voice was even more effective than the "Water of Extreme Cold."
Wang Bin looked up, the violence in his eyes gradually fading. After a moment of astonishment, endless joy surged forth.
"Bu Gu Ge?"
"It's me."
Chen Bugu removed the black ice, and Amon also timely poked his head out of his pocket, barking loudly at Wang Bin.
"Amon!"
The moment Wang Bin saw Amon, the excitement on his face intensified.
"Let's catch up later. First, let's deal with them."
Chen Bugu saw that the Mulin Tribe's reinforcements had already appeared at the end of the alley. Without time to think, he instantly tightened his grip on 【Jade Ripple】.
Wang Bin's cry of "Amon" was, after all, a bit too loud.
Lin Lin sat on the ground, shifting her body, and looked up at the door with some surprise, just in time to see Chen Bugu standing in the center of the alley.
The countless scenes she had imagined in her mind couldn't compare to the sight of that person standing before her, drawing his bowstring.
"Chen Bugu!"
"Rin Rain Frost!"
As Lin Lin instinctively spoke out, a small-scale "Rin Rain Frost" simultaneously swept through this section of the alley.
Ten Rin Water arrows hit their targets, black ice suddenly appeared out of nowhere, cold air permeated, and ice flowers bloomed from the wounds, instantly freezing the enemies in place.
This scene happened too suddenly; even Wang Bin, who was close by, didn't react in time.
"Don't worry, I avoided vital points. None of them died."
As if knowing what Wang Bin was worried about, Chen Bugu explained. After speaking, he looked back at Lin Lin, who was sitting inside the house, and waved his hand.
"Lin Lin, I'm back."
Lin Lin sat stunned, seemingly with many things she wanted to say, but in an instant, nothing seemed important anymore.
"Mm, welcome back, Captain."
Finally, Lin Lin smiled broadly and only said this one sentence, but her mood completely relaxed at this moment.
Chen Bugu didn't notice Lin Lin's change. After greeting her, he quickly turned to look at the alleys on both sides.
At this moment, a large number of footsteps and shouts came from within the alley.
Immediately after, more than a dozen figures surged out from the alleys on both sides.
Among them were Baljia Tribe members floating in the air using magnetism, Alta race members who transformed their hair into fists and feet, and Deep Rock Tribe members who were almost indistinguishable from golems.
Chen Bugu raised his bow; he hadn't expected Wang Bin and his group to provoke so many factions at once.
"Wait, Bu Gu Ge, these are our own people."
Wang Bin, seeing Chen Bugu misunderstand, quickly spoke up.
"Our own people?" Chen Bugu was confused.
As if to confirm Wang Bin's idea, after the Awakeneds of the three tribes entered the alley and saw the ground covered in black ice and the Mulin Tribe members frozen within, they exchanged glances. Seeing that the danger was resolved, their stances relaxed considerably.
"Yes, my first pillar of fire was a signal for support."
"They are the backup Ba Dou left behind..."
