Chapter 198: Enemies On A Narrow Road

The speed of the fireball was extremely fast. Almost at the same time that the three of them discovered it, it had already approached within a hundred meters!

Wang Xiao’s expression changed drastically. Without any time to think, he hurriedly summoned the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon]. The three of them climbed onto its back and flew into the sky. Then, the fireball smashed down!

With a loud bang, flames soared into the sky. The floating island formed by hundreds of [Floating Island Turtles] instantly dissipated. If the three of them had taken a second longer, they would have definitely fallen into the sea by now!

“Hu! That was close!”

Li Kaifu patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief. It was not scary to fall into the sea, but if the other party used the venue card to freeze the surface of the sea again, they would completely fall into a passive state!

At the same time, Wang Xiao also recovered from the surprise attack just now and quickly entered a combat state. “Hold on tight! Let’s go to the island!”

Zhou Xiruo and Li Kaifu had just grabbed the scales to stabilize their bodies when the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] transformed into a black lightning and rushed towards the distant island!

In a breath, they arrived. Wang Xiao immediately saw a [Flame Magic Tower] standing where the fire light had flickered previously. Although it was mostly covered by the tree crown and its grade could not be seen, from the speed of the fireball attack, he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary item.

“There’s an attack fortification, be careful!”

Wang Xiao leaned on the back of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] and reminded loudly. Immediately after, the [Flame Magic Tower] lit up with flames and a fireball whistled towards them!

Fortunately, after resting, the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon had almost recovered its stamina. It flapped its wings and increased its speed again. Before the fireball arrived, it actually plunged into the forest on the island.

With the dense vegetation around them covering them, the three of them felt much safer.

With a thought, Wang Xiao recalled the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] back to his territory and summoned another hundred [Shadow Golden Thorn Spiders] to guard the surroundings. Only then did he look at Zhou Xiruo and ask, “Did you see that fortification just now? Can you recognize the specific type?”

Zhou Xiruo revealed a strange expression when she heard this. “That seems to be a purple quality [Flame Magic Tower]… But I might have seen wrongly. The attack speed of the [Flame Magic Tower] is not so fast.”

Wang Xiao clicked his tongue. Zhou Xiruo could even create the [Flame Magic Tower] with her eyes closed. He did not believe that the other party would be mistaken, so there was only one possibility.

“I think I know who my opponent is,” Wang Xiao said with a strange expression.

Zhou Xiruo looked puzzled, but Li Kaifu, who was beside her, seemed to understand. His face immediately revealed an incredulous expression. “It can’t be such a coincidence, right? We’re really assigned to the same secret realm as him?”

Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and spread his hands. “I don’t believe it’s such a coincidence either, but it’s most likely him.”

Hearing their conversation, the confusion on Zhou Xiruo’s face intensified. “Who are you talking about?”

“Liu Yuyang.”

Wang Xiao looked at Zhou Xiruo with a strange expression. “From the previous information, I deduce that he should have the talent to enhance the fortifications. The increase in attack speed of the [Flame Magic Tower] at the top of the mountain should be his masterpiece.”

Hearing the name “Liu Yuyang” , Zhou Xiruo’s expression immediately turned ugly. “Then what should we do? Think of a way to leave this place first?”

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”

Li Kaifu pointed at the surrounding trees. “The other party did not continue to attack. It should be because these trees block his vision. As long as we leave the forest, we will immediately be attacked.”

“That’s right.”

Wang Xiao nodded and continued, “Moreover, these trees will also block our vision, so we have to move. Otherwise, as long as the other party bombards this area, we won’t even have time to react.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them heard a whistling sound in the air at the same time.

Wang Xiao’s expression changed. At the same time that he reached out and pulled the two of them to his side, he had already injected energy into the [Protection Ring]. Just as the golden defensive position was activated, the surroundings instantly turned into a surging sea of fire!

“Follow me!”

Wang Xiao called out and hurriedly pulled the two of them towards the center of the island. The three of them were not injured in the defensive field, but when the surrounding vegetation burned away, they would immediately be exposed.

After running for a few hundred meters, the three of them stopped near a soil slope.

During this period, the [Flame Magic Tower] shot out three more fireballs. They all landed near the first fireball. It was obvious that it was only a large-scale probing attack.

Wang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and turned off the defensive force field. He said softly, “The other party doesn’t know that we’ve already moved for the time being. This is our chance.”

“What chance?”

Li Kaifu held his lower back and panted as he looked at Wang Xiao. “You already have a solution?”

Wang Xiao nodded. “This method is a little risky. I don’t have the confidence to win—but the other party’s attack is so simple. Our chances of winning are very high.”

Nine Heavens Academy, underground.

There were more places on the island where equipment could be installed. After Wang Xiao and the other two landed on the island, the two Academy Heads finally saw their close-up view.

Hearing Wang Xiao’s words, Academy Head Jiang could not help but sneer. “Old Huang, your judgment is still so accurate… He still dares to say that he has a high chance of winning when they’re attacking from lower ground. He’s indeed a little blindly confident!”

As soon as he finished speaking, no one responded. Academy Head Jiang was stunned for a moment before turning around. He saw Huang Tingwei staring at the screen and frowning slightly as if he was thinking about something.

“Old Huang? Old Huang!”

Academy Head Jiang shouted a few times. Seeing that Huang Tingwei had returned to his senses, he asked curiously, “What are you looking at? Why are you so engrossed?”

Huang Tingwei pointed at “Fang Tianyu” on the screen. “This girl is from Kaiyang Academy, right? Why is she with Wang Xiao?”

“You don’t know?”

Academy Head Jiang revealed a suspicious expression. “Didn’t you and Kaiyang see through my intentions and send these two children to investigate the situation?”

“What are you talking about?”

Huang Tingwei asked in return. Suddenly, his expression changed as he thought of something. ‘What an old fox! I say, did you get the students to find outside help so that you can have the opportunity to study us?!”

“So you don’t know?!”

Academy Head Jiang exclaimed. There was no need to mention the regret in his heart!

He was only being polite to the other party because he thought that Huang Tingwei had sensed something. If he had known that the other party had not discovered his plan, he would have found an excuse to chase him away just now!

However, now that he had already let it slip, it was useless no matter how much Academy Head Jiang regretted it. He sighed and said helplessly, “When my student defeats Wang Xiao for you, keep this matter to yourself. You can’t let that old fellow from Kaiyang know, okay?”

Huang Tingwei was about to speak when he suddenly smiled when he saw something. “Wait until your student defeats Wang Xiao!”

Academy Head Jiang was stunned when he heard this. He turned to look at the live broadcast screen and realized that it was empty.. Where was Wang Xiao and the others?
