Pearl coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back to the main business:

"Regarding the abnormality of the demonic power index in the underground dark river, we still need to investigate further. However, before taking action, we'd better be prepared first."

Everyone briefly exchanged views and discussed possible dangers and response strategies.

The atmosphere in the room gradually became relaxed, and everyone was looking forward to the upcoming adventure.

At this time, Pearl stood up and looked around gracefully:

"Everyone, I think it's time to arrange accommodations."

"We will go to the hotel to rest and organize our equipment before we start. This will ensure that we are in the best condition to face the challenges ahead."

Feiying and her team of extraordinary people nodded in agreement.

Soon, a large group of people walked towards the elevator.

The corridor was filled with relaxed conversations and laughter, and everyone seemed to be looking forward to the upcoming adventure.

When they arrived in front of the elevator, the elevator door slowly opened.

Two people in black robes walked out, and their behavior seemed a little sneaky.

The outfits of these two people might attract attention in an ordinary city.

But in the Sea Kingdom, a place where strange costumes are everywhere, it did not attract much attention.

Pearl simply glanced at the two men in black robes and continued talking to the people around her.

In the Sea Kingdom, all kinds of strange costumes are commonplace.

However, just as the two groups passed each other, an accident happened.

One of the men in black robes suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Tao Yao.

Her body visibly stiffened and her voice was filled with disbelief and shock.

"you……"

The man in black robe stretched out his hand, as if trying to grab Tao Yao.

But at this critical moment, Forget-me-not reacted quickly and stood in front of Taoyao.

"You are suspicious!"

Forget-me-not shouted, "You are sneaking around like that. You are definitely not an ordinary person, right?"

As the forget-me-nots spoke, the temperature around them rose sharply.

There was a heat in the air, as if it could burst into flames at any moment.

The Forget-Me-Not's hands have begun to glow red, ready to attack at any time.

Taking advantage of the moment when the man in black robe was stunned by shock, Forget-me-not made a quick move and reached out to lift up the man's hood.

The man in black robe finally reacted and stepped back hurriedly, trying to avoid Forget-me-not's hand.

However, it was already too late.

Although the man in black robe dodged in time, a corner of his hood was still lifted by the forget-me-not.

Everyone present held their breath, staring intently at the face that was gradually revealed.

Feiying's pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice was filled with disbelief:

"Shiloh?!"

Hearing this name, the other man in black robe sighed softly, with helplessness in his tone:

"Shiloh, we're exposed."

As she spoke, she slowly lowered her hood, revealing a gentle yet somewhat wary face.

Zhu Jin's gaze swept across everyone present and finally landed on Feiying.

Shiloh seemed to have not recovered from the shock yet.

Her eyes were always fixed on Tao Yao, filled with complex emotions.

After a long while, she came back to her senses and said to Zhu Jin:

"I'm sorry, Miss Zhu Jin. Maybe I missed her so much that I couldn't control my emotions..."

At this moment, Yue Gui also recognized the two people, especially when she saw Zhu Jin's face clearly, her expression suddenly changed:

"Members of the Apostolic Order? Why are you here?!"

When Zhu Jin heard Yuegui's words, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, as if he had expected such a reaction.

She shrugged, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone:

"Do I need to ask? What else can I do here besides stopping you?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Jin's hand had already reached behind his back.

Before anyone could react, she had already pulled out a peculiarly shaped bow.

The bowstring was fully drawn, and an arrow flashing with strange light was aimed at Laurel and his group.

"careful!"

Laurel yelled, quickly deploying a protective barrier in front of her.

The arrows hit the barrier, making a sharp buzzing sound.

Although the barrier blocked the attack, Laurel's expression turned serious.

Yuegui was just about to go forward and engage in close combat with Zhu Jin, but she saw the other party take out a black controller.

It was a small device with a few prominent buttons that looked like...

"bomb!"

Laurel's pupils suddenly contracted as she realized what was about to happen.

However, it was too late.

Zhu Jin curled up his lips in a sneer and pressed the button without hesitation.

"boom!"

A deafening explosion echoed throughout the hotel.

The ground shook violently, cracks began to appear in the walls, and the light fixtures on the ceiling were shaky.

Dust and debris flew everywhere, and the air was filled with choking smoke.

The guests in the hotel screamed and ran away, and the entire hall fell into chaos.

The alarm sounded, and the shrill sound echoed in every corner.

The shockwave from the explosion knocked everyone to the ground.

Feiying struggled to support her body and looked around blankly.

In the smoke and dust, she saw Laurel trying hard to maintain the protective barrier to protect the companions behind her.

Although Zhenzhu staggered back due to the shock, she quickly steadied herself and stared vigilantly in the direction of Zhu Jin and Xi Luo.

As the aftermath of the explosion gradually subsided, the dust in the air began to slowly dissipate.

Everyone struggled to get up from the ground and looked around vigilantly.

However, when the vision became clear again, Xi Luo and Zhu Jin's figures had disappeared without a trace.

It was as if they had never appeared, leaving behind only a devastated scene as proof of their existence.

Laurel stood up and brushed off the thick dust on her body.

Her face was full of regret and anger.

"Ran……"

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her anger.

Then, Yuegui turned to look at Feiying and Jasmine who had been standing beside her, "Are you injured?"

Jasmine shook her head gently, still keeping calm:

"I am fine."

Feiying: "It's nothing serious, just a scratch on my hand."

Everyone present then noticed that on Feiying's jade-like arm,

At this moment, there is a long bloodstain left.

The bright red blood flowed slowly, forming a sharp contrast with her fair skin.

Just then, Tao Yao came forward.

She carefully observed Feiying's wound and said softly:

"You must have been hit by the fragments of the explosion. Don't worry, I'll help you treat the wound."

As she spoke, she had already taken out simple medical supplies from the small bag she carried with her.

Feiying did not reject Taoyao's kindness.

She sat down quietly and let Tao Yao treat her wounds.

Tao Yao's movements were gentle and skillful. She first carefully cleaned the area around the wound with disinfectant, and then carefully applied ointment.

Finally, she bandaged the wound with a white bandage.

During the entire process, his movements were very light, as if he was afraid of hurting Feiying.

And Feiying kept staring at Taoyao's focused profile.

Suddenly, the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Then, while Taoyao was bandaging the wound carefully,

Feiying stretched out her other hand and quickly took off the fox mask on Taoyao's face.
