After the leading middle-aged man gave the order to retreat, the treasure hunting team began to quickly evacuate into the distance.

However, the giant pitcher plants did not want to let the leading middle-aged man and his group leave peacefully, and they immediately launched a more ferocious attack.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The harsh sound of breaking through the air was heard one after another, and the gray-brown vines came overwhelmingly, which made the retreat of the leading middle-aged man and his group very difficult.

"These guys are really difficult to deal with." The young man waved the weapon in his hand and cut off the gray-black vines that were hitting him. Some viscous liquid spilled out from the break and fell on his clothes, making people feel very uncomfortable.

"Stop talking nonsense and come over and help them..." The girl with long hair reaching her waist noticed that her two companions were trapped in a tight siege in the distance and quickly shouted to the young man.

"I'm going to help them right now, please be careful yourself." the young man said.

The girl with long hair reaching her waist responded, "Go quickly! I can take care of myself..."

The young man raised his sword and rushed towards his trapped companions. With his arrival, the pressure on the shoulders of the two companions who had spent a lot of energy suddenly decreased, and they escaped from the siege of the giant pitcher plants.

The leading middle-aged man at the front was paying attention to the situation with a serious face at the moment.

The development of things is somewhat beyond everyone's expectation. These giant pitcher plants, which do not seem very dangerous, seem to be dragging everyone into a dangerous situation.

"There are too many of these guys. We can't continue like this. We have to get rid of them quickly..." The young man shouted to the leading middle-aged man after helping his companions to rescue them.

However, at this time, the words of the girl with long hair that reached her waist made everyone's hearts sink.

"Those guys came around in front of us and blocked the way..."

The treasure hunting team, who were fighting a fierce battle with the giant pitcher plant, heard this and immediately glanced at the direction of retreat.

Everyone discovered that, just as the girl with waist-length hair said, a large number of giant pitcher plants appeared along the retreat route.

Both ends of the street were blocked. Now the treasure hunting team had no choice but to stay and fight to the end.

"These damn bastards dare to block our way to evacuate. In this case, we will fight them to the end..."

One of the grumpy members roared angrily, then raised his foot and kicked away a giant pitcher plant that was approaching.

The leading middle-aged man waved the spiritual sword in his hand, killing all the giant pitcher plants that came close to him, while quickly looking around at the developments around him.

The situation at the scene is really not optimistic. Since the way to retreat is blocked, it seems that the only option is to fight to the end.

Just when the leading middle-aged man was about to inform his companions of his decision to fight to the end, a flash of orange-red light suddenly appeared in the distance.

After sensing very powerful psychic energy fluctuations in the distance, the treasure hunting team who were fighting fiercely with the giant pitcher plant were shocked.

The teams that come to this ruin space to hunt for treasures are all competitors. This is something everyone knows.

Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't break your skin, you won't attack others easily.

However, some dirty teams, when they see other treasure hunting teams in trouble, will still step forward and step on them to reduce the number of competitors.

At this moment, the leading middle-aged man and his group thought that there were people from other treasure hunting teams in the distance who were plotting against them, and everyone couldn't help but have a look of panic on their faces.

"Everyone, be careful, beware of sneak attacks..." the leading middle-aged man warned loudly.

A few minutes ago, Lin Li, who was running all the way, felt that he had completely escaped the entanglement of those giant pitcher plants, so he stopped.

Just as he was about to continue exploring this deserted ancient city, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from behind him.

Lin Li turned around and looked into the distance, and the group of people he met not long ago immediately came to mind.

Based on the noisy noises he heard now, Lin Li could guess it with just a little thought.

These noisy movements should have been caused by the encounter between the giant pitcher plants that were entangled with them and the group of people they met not long ago, and a fierce battle broke out.

"Um..." Lin Li originally planned to continue exploring ahead, but he felt a little bit regretful when he thought that because of himself, the group of people he met before were in a difficult battle.

So, he bent down and bent his knees, kicked off the ground fiercely, and his body rose up from the ground.

He grabbed the eaves with his right hand, pushed on the wall with his left foot, and with some help, he climbed up to the roof of a four-story house on the roadside.

Lin Li looked in the direction where the noise was coming from. Since the distance was a bit far, it was impossible to see what was happening in the distance clearly with the naked eye.

However, this kind of problem is not difficult for Lin Li. Since the naked eye cannot clearly see the situation in the distance, he needs to use tools.

With a thought in his mind, a telescope appeared in Lin Li's hand.

Holding the telescope taken out from the mysterious island, Lin Li looked into the distance again.

This time he saw clearly the leading middle-aged man and his group who were fighting a fierce pitcher plant in the distance.

"These people are blocked from the front and back, they're so stupid!"

Through the telescope, Lin Li discovered that the leading middle-aged man and his group were not only locked in a bitter battle, but also blocked by a giant pitcher plant in their retreat.

"Peng."

Lin Li didn't waste time, he directly mobilized the spiritual energy in his dantian.

As a subtle sound sounded, a ball of orange flame ignited in the raised right hand.

"call……"

The breeze blew, and the orange-red flame suspended above Lin Li's right hand rose in the wind. In a few seconds, the size of the fireball expanded many times.

"That's enough. If you continue to increase the power, you may accidentally hurt those people."

Lin Li stopped trying to increase the power of the fireball, then determined the impact point through the telescope, and then an idea came to his mind.

A blazing orange-red fireball with a diameter of 9 meters was suspended in front of him, and it immediately burst out.

A beautiful parabola was drawn in the sky, falling towards the streets crowded with giant pitcher plants in the distance.

"Fireball, such a big fireball!!!"

As the fireball approached, the leading middle-aged man and his group saw clearly what the orange-red object was.

Everyone looked at the blazing orange-red fireball with a diameter of nine meters, and their faces turned pale with fear.

Even if such a huge fireball is not hit directly, the force of the explosion will still cause serious injuries.

"Get out of the way and come closer to me." The leading middle-aged man quickly judged the landing point of the blazing orange fireball flying from a distance, and shouted loudly to his companions not far away.

.

After hearing the reminder, everyone immediately approached the leading middle-aged man.

When they came to the leading middle-aged man, a blazing orange-red fireball fell from the sky and hit a large group of giant pitcher plants that were close together.

"Eh?!!!"

"Why didn't it explode?!!!"

The expected scene is like this, a huge fireball hits the ground, a ferocious explosion occurs, smoke and dust are flying, gravel is flying, and the shock wave generated by the explosion destroys everything on the interface.

However, the reality is that after the huge fireball landed, a large group of giant pitcher plants were burned to death on the spot, and then the explosion did not happen at all.

"this……"

The leading middle-aged man and his group looked at the huge fireball that was still burning and immediately looked at each other. This was the first time they had encountered this situation.

Due to the obstruction of the huge fireball, the giant pitcher plant that launched a ferocious attack on the leading middle-aged man and his group was forced to stop its attack.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Some giant pitcher plants were unwilling to give in and swung their gray-brown vines in an attempt to extinguish the huge fireball blocking the way. As a result, when the gray-brown vines touched the flames, they were immediately burned to dryness and then turned into ashes.

Flame naturally restrains plants. If there is no special means to deal with it, we can only wait for the other party to extinguish.

The giant pitcher plants kept pouring out from the direction. Because of the obstruction of the huge fireball, the ferocious attack on the leading middle-aged man and his group was immediately weakened.

"Those guys can't get through." The young man said happily as he looked at the giant pitcher plants that were blocked by the huge fireball and could only swing their gray-brown vines, looking helpless and furious.

"I didn't expect this huge fireball to help us." The girl with long hair reaching her waist said to herself in surprise as she looked at the huge fireball that was not extinguished.

The leading middle-aged man seized this opportunity very decisively and said to his companions, "While those guys can't get through now, let's seize the time to break out."

Everyone nodded, then turned around and charged in the direction of evacuation.

Although there were a lot of giant pitcher plants blocking the path of the leading middle-aged man and his group, the number was still far behind the number of giant pitcher plants that appeared at the other end.

Led by the leading middle-aged man, the group quickly broke through the defense line blocked by the giant pitcher plant. After successfully breaking through, they quickly escaped into the distance.

Lin Li stood on the roof with a telescope and observed the situation in the distance. After seeing the leading middle-aged man and his group safely break through, he immediately released control of the fireball.

The fireball blocking the way of the giant pitcher plant quickly extinguished. At this time, they could not see the figure of the leading middle-aged man and his group!

Allowing the prey to escape one after another is quite a blow to the giant pitcher plants. They no longer continue to chase the prey, but turn around and leave listlessly.

"These guys didn't continue to pursue this time, but chose to give up. What happened?" Lin Li looked through the telescope at the giant pitcher plant that turned away and was very surprised.

However, there is no value in studying this kind of thing in detail. Once you have seen it, you can put it behind you.

Lin Li put the telescope in his hand into the mysterious island, and then came down from the roof.

After landing, he chose a direction and continued to explore the ancient city pool.

In the distance, a group of middle-aged men who were the leaders of the successful breakout ran a long distance and found that the entangled giant pitcher plants had not caught up with them, so they stopped immediately.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

After a fierce battle and running all the way, everyone except the middle-aged man in the lead was panting from exhaustion.

"I'm exhausted," the young man said.

"We were just about to continue exploring that house when something like this happened. We must be so unlucky!" The girl with long hair reaching her waist wiped the sweat from her forehead and said depressedly.

"Although it is unlucky, no one was injured this time, which is a blessing among misfortunes." Someone said optimistically.

The tired and breathless people chatted for a while. At this time, they found that the leading middle-aged man was looking in a certain direction.

Everyone was very confused, so someone asked the middle-aged man in the lead.

"Captain, what are you looking at?"

The leading middle-aged man was looking at the roof where Lin Li was standing. When he heard his companions asking, he came back to his senses, turned his gaze away from the distance, turned around and explained to his companions who were looking at him.

"I'm looking at where the fireball appeared just now..."

When the middle-aged man in the lead mentioned this, everyone couldn't help but be very curious about how the fireball that helped them escape just now appeared.

"At first, I thought the fireball was coming to attack us..." the young man said, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Yes! I think so too. I didn't expect that the arrival of the fireball would help us get out of trouble..." The girl with long hair reaching her waist raised her hand to straighten the bangs on her forehead and sighed.

"Captain, have you seen clearly who made that fireball?" someone asked.

The leading middle-aged man shook his head, "Because the distance is too far, I can't see who made that fireball."

Everyone discussed for a while about the fireball that had helped them escape, and then everyone sat on the floor and took the time to recover their exhausted physical and mental energy.

There is still some time before it gets dark. Take the time to recover your exhausted physical strength and spiritual energy. You can continue to explore the ancient city for a while before returning to the camp outside the city as it gets dark.

…………

"Tap, step, step..."

The deserted streets were very quiet, except for the movement caused by the wind blowing the weeds on the streets, and the only sound was the footsteps of humans walking.

Lin Li wandered around the ancient city pool for a while, only exploring a small area.

Compared to the entire huge ancient city, the small area he explored can be said to be insignificant.

If Lin Li wanted to explore the entire ancient city, he would definitely not be able to do it in just a few years.

And it is impossible for him to stay here forever and spend several years exploring this ancient city.

After all, compared to spending a lot of time hunting for treasures here, it is more important to hunt strange beasts and let the magical trees grow supernatural fruits.

"Hey... I have been searching in this ancient city for so long, but I haven't found anything valuable. This is so disappointing!"

Lin Li looked at the sky that was about to darken completely and complained in great disappointment.

At this moment, a deafening explosion suddenly appeared in front.

"Boom..."
