The Fire Oil Bomb of the Hakka People detonates upon impact, triggering an explosion and combustion. Although its explosive power is not great, it burns at a high temperature, and the oil's viscosity makes it stick to anything it touches, making it nearly impossible to extinguish. This is quite similar to a White Phosphorus Incendiary Grenade.
Even though the three of us were not close to the two Tang Yumos, we were certainly within the explosion range of the Fire Oil Bomb. As soon as we saw Tang Yumo throw the Fire Oil Bomb, we didn’t wait for anyone to shout a warning; we just followed her, quickly putting on our clothes. Our actions and thoughts were surprisingly in sync.
In reality, this was not the best choice. Logically, it would have made more sense to run toward the other side, toward the unclothed Tang Yumo. Given the distance and time, running toward her would allow us to escape danger more quickly. The Fire Oil Bomb was not thrown at the unclothed Tang Yumo but aimed at the ground in front of her. Moving toward her would help us get out of harm's way faster.
Although I had no idea what grievances existed between the two Tang Yumos or their relationship, this suddenly appearing Tang Yumo posed a greater threat to me. She was far too composed, showing no signs of shyness despite the presence of three unfamiliar men. This was highly unusual; I thought if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to remain so calm.
Fatty, with his hefty frame, was not good at long-distance running but excelled at sprinting. He wasn’t the first to start running, but he quickly took the lead with a single burst of speed. He didn’t even need Jack’s Glow Stick for illumination; his One-Eyed Beast Flashlight provided stronger light. Ahead of him was Tang Yumo guiding the way.
At the moment Tang Yumo turned around, she ignited a torch. Although Hakka People’s torches have a low ignition point, Tang Yumo managed to complete this series of actions in an instant. It was enough to show that she had been preparing to flee all along while we were still in shock.
As Fatty ran, he shouted ahead, “I’m Tang Family Girl! You’re ruthless even against your own sister! Don’t run! Don’t you want to see what happens to your twin sister?”
A loud bang interrupted Fatty ’s words. With a flash of fire erupting behind us, a wave of heat surged from our backs.
Fortunately, we were alert and ran fast enough that although we were knocked down by the shockwave from the explosion, we managed to escape the splatter range of the Fire Oil Bomb. However, I fell hard; as I moved my body, I realized one of my knees was scraped and painful enough that I couldn’t stand up. Thankfully, there was no need to run anymore; the debris from the Fire Oil Bomb hadn’t splattered here, so the fire wouldn’t reach us.
It was just unfortunate for that girl; she was almost at the center of the explosion and had no chance of escaping. She wasn’t Tang Yumo, but she must have been closely related to her—perhaps even a twin like Fatty ’s sister.
I never had a good impression of Tang Yumo; she always gave me the vibe of a femme fatale, and she acted accordingly. She treated me that way in the past, and now she was doing the same to her own family. I didn't care what sharp conflicts existed between them. To inflict such heavy harm on a blood relative, her heart must be as cold as ice.
I couldn't help but look at Tang Yumo with disgust. But that glance left me dumbfounded and terrified.
During my run, I was lifted by the shockwave of the explosion, landing face down and injuring my knee in the process. Another thing was that my sprinting speed couldn't match Fatty ’s; it seemed I lagged behind even Jack. As a result, I ended up at the back, suffering the brunt of the explosion's impact. When I looked up at Tang Yumo, Fatty was already standing, and Jack was sitting on the ground, propping himself up with his hands on the ground, looking back at the explosion site. The only one unaffected by the shockwave was Tang Yumo.
What left me speechless wasn't that Tang Yumo remained unscathed by the explosion's force. She couldn’t have run faster than any of us; however, she had been prepared all along and was the instigator of this explosion—there was no way she would trap herself in it. Yet after the explosion occurred, from a safe distance away from the shockwave, I saw Tang Yumo and that torch moving farther away, like a gazelle fleeing for its life, unable to stop.
What sent chills down my spine were Jack and Fatty ’s expressions—shock and despair. At that moment, their faces mirrored each other so closely that I could hardly believe such an expression could appear on Fatty ’s face.
“Ah.”
With a piercing scream echoing from behind me, I immediately understood what Jack and Fatty were feeling. My hatred and disgust for the fleeing Tang Yumo escalated another level.
Despite my injured knee making it difficult to turn over, and despite seeing from Jack and Fatty ’s expressions that the scene behind me was exceptionally grim, I felt powerless against the woman caught in the center of the explosion and Fire Sea. Still, I gritted my teeth and turned my body.
What lay before me filled me with despair.
The Fire Oil Bomb exploded behind me, spreading out into a vast Fire Sea. In that Fire Sea, Tang Yumo—who wasn’t wearing a protective suit—seemed to be blown into the air, her naked body flying backward in an X-shape, moving slowly like a scene from a movie in slow motion.
The flames were bright; her figure was fully visible midair. Her expression was strange—not one of pain or pleasure; she was sneering. Her eyes glowed with a cold light. With those coldly glowing eyes fixed on us, she was alive—and living without pain.
A chilling long wail escaped her lips. This sound combined with her expression sent shivers down my spine.
Suddenly, the piercing long sound deepened, gradually shifting from a female voice to a male one. In an instant, it transformed into a thunderous roar that shook the ground. At the same time, the naked woman flying backward began to swell as if inflated. In a flash, she morphed into a gigantic Long-Tailed Monster and vanished into the air.
"Where did it go?!" I shouted loudly, turning to Fatty and Jack.
At that moment, I realized what this creature was; it was the Overlord Heimanluo of this place. I just didn't expect it to transform like this. The contrast with its Prehistoric Crocodile form in the Underground River was stark, and its transformation into Tang Yumo was so lifelike that even its expressions were vividly portrayed.
But when I turned back, I nearly cried out of frustration.
No one responded to me. It wasn't that they didn't want to acknowledge me; it was that they were gone. Fatty and Jack had bolted away in a panic. Fatty glanced back at me while running, his eyes filled with surprise as if he found it strange that I wasn't following them.
What the hell? Is this my fault? You two run off without a word, and I was planning to hold my ground against this thing.
Despite my anger, I knew there was no time for complaints, and no one was listening anyway. I got up and ran after them.
