Only I can make them stronger

This is the experience accumulated from surviving in the wilderness and countless battles!

With victory in his grasp, Dillven's temper calmed down a little and he didn't mind asking a few more questions.

The other party's intention was indeed something he cared about very much.

"The gap in combat experience?" Xia Ye smiled bitterly, extinguished the match with a flick of his hand, and put it in his pocket.

"That's good to know. Tell me the truth and I can make you die quickly." Seeing this, Dillwyn was finally convinced that the other party had given up resistance and said with a grin.

Xia Ye lowered his head and took out a fist-sized cloth bag from his pocket.

"What is that?" Dillven frowned slightly and asked in a cold voice.

"You'll know when you see it." Xia Ye suppressed his pounding heart and threw the cloth bag to Dilven.

Just as Dillven was about to reach out to take it, Xia Ye suddenly shouted:

"Shana!"

Dillven, whose attention was attracted by the cloth bag, failed to react to the other party's intention immediately, and the next moment, lightning rushed out from the other side.

Although this lightning bolt was not as strong as the one Shana used before, it was enough to break the cloth bag.

In fact, Shana didn’t know what Xia Ye wanted to do, but that didn’t stop her from doing something first.

From the time the battle started again to the time Xia Ye fell into despair, she and Liya were always paying attention to Xia Ye's condition.

When Xia Ye took out an unfamiliar cloth bag, she guessed that this was the last killer weapon prepared by the other party.

At this time, Xia Ye called her name. Considering her own situation, Shana thought this was the only thing she could do.

Fortunately, she did the right thing, and Xia Ye also made the right bet. The tacit understanding between the two was destined to reverse the outcome of the battle.

The moment the cloth bag was shattered, a large amount of black dust exploded from it, and because of Shana's factor ability attributes, blue and white arcs were jumping on it.

At the same time, the fire snake came quietly again and ignited the black dust.

All this happened in a flash, and Dillven had almost no time to react.

Dust explosion was the last resort Xia Ye could think of.

He was not completely confident that his own strength could defeat Dillwyn, so he prepared this move.

In a narrow and dry space, high-density combustible dust is ignited by high temperatures, producing an explosion with destructive power far exceeding ordinary combustion.

Although he couldn't get flour or coal ash, fortunately there were metal ores everywhere.

Charged dust can also produce similar or even stronger explosion effects.

What's more, almost all the moisture in the air is now used by Dillwyn to create ice balls around himself, and the environment around him is just right for dryness.

On the way here, Xia Ye stopped Karen in advance, knocked off several pieces of ore, and asked the other party to grind them all into powder and stuff them into a cloth bag, just for this moment when he was forced into a desperate situation.

The dust explosion in a narrow space is much more terrifying than the effect of simple explosives!

Ever since Xia Ye discovered that Shana and others didn't even recognize matches last time, he already knew that the people of Hill Continent generally lacked common sense about nature because of the existence of rational elements, let alone people like Shadow Claw who roamed the wilderness.

Dillwen would never have thought that Xia Ye, who had already "surrendered", was actually reaching into his pocket to take out the key item to kill him, nor would he have thought how terrible the power of this fist-sized cloth bag would be.

"Run!" While releasing [Pyromania] again, Xia Ye only said one word to Karen, and then ran towards Leah. This time, he even used the [Flash Strike] that he "stole" from Shana, just to take Leah away from here as quickly as possible!

As for Karen, he had given some instructions in advance, and he also burst out with all his strength and ran towards Shana.

"boom!!!"

The next moment, a deafening explosion sounded, almost deafening everyone's ears.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and engulfed Dillven, and the heat wave swept in all directions with a powerful impact.

Karen, who was the fastest, stood behind the three people and took most of the impact for them. However, she had used [Release of Suppression] many times before and was still unable to resist. She and Xia Ye and the other two were blown away by the shock wave and fell heavily several meters away.

Leah and Shana, who were exhausted, and Karen, who was hit hard, fainted directly. Only Xia Ye was still barely conscious.

At this moment, the blazing flames gushed out, and were about to engulf the four people.

In a flash, Xia Ye held up the box of [Eternal Fire] and the matches in front of him.

The blazing momentum was instantly split in two, just like Moses splitting the Red Sea in two.

There were roaring flames on both sides, and the flames in front of Xia Ye kept pouring into the box of [Eternal Fire]. The scene looked very spectacular.

Although the high temperature was still scorching the four people, at least their lives were saved.

The tragic explosion came violently and went away quickly. Within a few seconds, the flames dissipated completely, leaving only the devastated mine tunnel.

Xia Ye felt like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart and his muscles were extremely sore.

"Killed him..." The explosion destroyed all the light lamps. The deep mine tunnel was pitch black and Xia Ye couldn't see Dilven's situation clearly.

[True Insight] was activated, but its effect was immediately interrupted.

The severe pain in his limbs made it impossible for him to concentrate and maintain his abilities.

What’s even worse is that this is underground in a mine.

The violent explosion just now caused the structure of the mine tunnel to gradually collapse. Debris has begun to fall like raindrops. It is very likely that it will not be long before this place will be completely turned into a ruin of rubble and gravel, and the few of them will be buried underground forever.

This is why Xia Ye didn't use this trick at the beginning.

If he had any choice, he would not risk being buried alive and fight with Dillven.

"We must take them away quickly..." Xia Ye forced himself to overcome the pain all over his body and stood up, igniting the healing fire of [Origin] to heal his own injuries first.

But at this moment, a piercing pain came from the back of the chest without warning and went straight to the front.

A transparent ice spike pierced him through.

101. Who told you that I’m weak in close combat?

It's Dillwyn! He's not dead yet!

This guy's physical resilience is so strong!

Xia Ye lowered his head and looked at the blood on his chest, and a hoarse and gloomy voice came to his ears.

"You cunning rat... you will eventually die in my hands..."

"I... don't... think so!" But the desperate wails or pleas for mercy that Dillven had imagined did not appear.

On the contrary, Xia Ye sneered.

Although this voice was somewhat weak, the confidence in it was unmistakable.

Because Xia Ye discovered that the blood in his chest was flowing out, instead of freezing as Karen said.

Dillwen is already at the end of his strength.

Failure to penetrate the heart meant that Dillven had completely lost his last chance to kill him.

Because [Eternal Fire] absorbed a large amount of flames from the explosion just now, his mental strength has been fully restored!

Xia Ye suddenly pushed away the person behind him, and at the same time, white flames suddenly rose up and enveloped his whole body.

Soon, Xia Ye's staggering steps finally steadied themselves.

Although he was unable to fully restore his body to its best in such a short time, he felt that it was enough to deal with Dillwyn, who no longer had much fighting power!

"You actually still have reason!" The other party's voice was full of horror.

Xia Ye turned around. At this time, Dillwyn was in tatters, his skin was charred, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred and violence. He was getting closer and closer to the image of the "Ice Ghost".

"But so what? Now that woman with the giant sword has fainted. There's no one left to protect you!"

"I can still kill you in close combat!"

Soon, Dillven began to laugh grimly again.

So what if there is still rationality!

He, Dillwyn, has close combat ability and physical strength that a second-level spell domain cannot contend with!

Before he finished his words, he strode forward and stabbed Xia Ye's head fiercely with the ice cone in his hand.

But with a "bang", the ice cone was broken into two pieces.

Xia Ye held a crowbar and easily and accurately blocked his attack.

"You..." At this moment, Dillven didn't know what to say.

He just felt that this man was really outrageous.

Seeing this, Xia Ye smiled contemptuously and walked in with a crowbar.

"Who told you that I'm bad at close combat?"

The sparring with Shana during those days was not in vain!

He admitted that Dillven was very powerful, but if his opponent's physical strength was almost exhausted and his high-level abilities could no longer be activated, the fighting skills that Shana taught him would become the key to victory!

Straight stabs, sideways swings, punches, elbow strikes... With the help of the flash attack technique, Xia Ye's movements were fast and explosive, and in turn suppressed Dillven so that he couldn't fight back at all.

What made him even more powerless was that the weapon in this guy's hand was like a hot iron, and the ice crystal weapon created with his remaining rational elements was no match for him at all.

The ice cones in his hands were broken one by one, and the despair in his heart increased layer by layer.

Finally, after he was hit by a palm and was out of breath, Xia Ye seized the opportunity and stabbed him with a stick.

Dillwyn's eyes were wide open, filled with resentment and resentment, and he no longer showed any sign of venting his anger.

The system prompt came immediately.

[The Rage of the Ice Ghost Completed]

[Leah's Factor Sharing function upgrade requirements: complete 3 bond tasks, current progress 2/3]

[Shana's factor sharing function upgrade requirements: complete 4 bond tasks, current progress 1/4]

"Be a good person in your next life." Xia Ye thought he was looking quite handsome as he pulled the crowbar hard, causing large amounts of blood to splatter. He then casually struck a match, set Dillven's body on fire and stabbed him again to prevent him from becoming the [Remnant] that had appeared in the wilderness before.

But he was only handsome for two seconds, as the faint "boom" sound around him made him slap himself.

"Why are you still pretending to be so cool at this time? No one is watching! It's more important to run for your life!"

There was more and more fallen rubble around, and the mine tunnel began to shake. Xia Ye hurried back to the three unconscious people, holding up one with each hand, but looked at the third person, Karen, who was in trouble.

[Origin]'s treatment can only heal injuries, but is helpless against coma.

This guy is quite heavy. Even if his body has been strengthened, it is still difficult for him to escape from here with three people alone.

"Damn it! I can't possibly defeat the most difficult BOSS only to fail here!" Xia Ye was anxious. He thought about it over and over again but found that he couldn't find any good solution.

But abandoning Karen was absolutely impossible.

The surrounding environment was becoming more dangerous every second, and he could no longer delay. Just when he was at a loss, a tall and narrow figure ran towards him.

"Carry... and flee..."

The familiar way of conveying information suddenly appeared in his mind, and Xia Ye immediately recognized the person who came - Annihilator No. 9!

Just now in the explosion, he had no time to care about the mental connection with the artificial monster beasts. In addition, the impact of the explosion directly shattered the monster beast's controller into pieces, so his control over the monster beasts had already been completely cut off.

I didn't expect that it could still find me in this situation and actively re-establish the connection?

But now he doesn't have time to delve into the reasons behind it. Anyway, with the help of a Type 3 Devil Beast, he can get all three of them out!

[Exterminator No. 9] stopped beside Xia Ye, carried Karen easily, held the hilt of the giant sword in its mouth, and then used its head to push Xia Ye in a certain direction.

But Xia Ye frowned and figured out the direction based on his memory.

The direction that [Exterminator No. 9] pushed him was clearly deeper into the mine.

If you go in at this time, are you trying to kill yourself?

"No, it should go this way!" Xia Ye then conveyed this message to the other party and pointed forcefully in another direction.

The direction he pointed to was the direction closest to the outside world.

As long as they could reach the open air area, they would be out of danger.

But the [Exterminator No. 9], who had been so obedient and smart before, suddenly became stubborn. He simply spit out the giant sword, bit Xia Ye's trouser leg, and insisted on pulling him in the direction he had pushed before.

"Hey! What are you doing at this time? I order you to bring Karen with me over here... Shit! How come you are so strong!"

Without the help of the controller, Xia Ye's commands were not enforced, so the computer froze in place, unable to move for a while.

"Why do you insist on taking me there? Could it be that... that is the real way out? There is no reason?"
