Yan Qing leaned against them, his eyes sharp and alert like those of a keen hawk, scanning the surroundings urgently.
The four-person team that had launched the ambush still had one member unaccounted for, and Yan Qing couldn't help but worry about their whereabouts. However, the current situation left no room for idle thoughts; he continuously shifted his gaze to observe the hidden areas around him.
Frog Esper and Jiang Ming were locked in an intense battle. Frog Esper opened its wide mouth, and its long tongue shot out like an arrow towards Jiang Ming, coated in a sticky, repulsive liquid.
Jiang Ming responded calmly. With a swift motion of his hands, he summoned ice shards. The ice shards emerged like sharp swords, piercing through the air towards the frog's extended tongue. Each collision produced a crisp sound, sending small ice fragments flying.
At that moment, a massive python that had been lurking behind a tree silently slithered out.
Its enormous body moved through the grass with barely a sound. Taking advantage of the distraction, the python lunged at the isolated Yan Qing.
So focused was Yan Qing on the three in front of him that he neglected to check behind. Just then, the python's gaping maw opened wide, revealing its sharp fangs and emanating a foul stench.
Jiang Wenyu was the first to notice the danger. Startled, she shouted, "Yan Qing! Watch out behind you!"
But she was entangled in Spider Esper's Spider Silk attack and couldn't break free to assist Yan Qing.
Turning around, Yan Qing saw the python's open mouth only two or three meters away from him—a shocking sight.
Jiang Ming was closest to Yan Qing and reacted swiftly. Upon hearing Jiang Wenyu's warning, his expression hardened as he quickly formed hand seals. The ice shards that had previously trapped the frog suddenly shot up from the ground, forming a tall wall that enclosed the frog within.
Without hesitation, he dashed toward Yan Qing. As he ran, the ground beneath him froze over with a layer of ice; each step left an imprint on the slick surface.
Just as the python was about to sink its fangs into Yan Qing, Jiang Ming arrived. He thrust his hands forward and erected an ice wall behind Yan Qing. The wall rapidly solidified into an impenetrable barrier.
The python's fangs crashed against the ice wall with a resounding bang, creating several fine cracks but ultimately failing to breach it.
Yan Qing cast a grateful glance at Jiang Ming. "Thank you, Jiang Ming."
Jiang Ming panted slightly, his eyes glinting with determination. "No need to thank me; we're a team. It's our duty to look out for each other. Now we need to figure out how to deal with these guys quickly—who knows what other dangers might be lurking."
Yan Qing nodded and scanned their surroundings again, trying to devise the best strategy to confront their enemies.
At this moment, the battlefield was in chaos, with colors, vines, Ice Shards, Spider Silk, and various Psychic Abilities intertwining in a dazzling display as the fight reached a fever pitch.
On Drui Feng's side, although his shots had caused some crows to lose their balance, the flock seemed to have changed tactics. They no longer charged blindly but split into several small teams, encircling Drui Feng from different directions.
While continuing to shoot, Drui Feng frowned and shouted, "These guys are pretty clever; they're not easy to deal with!"
Meanwhile, Jiang Wenyu was struggling as the Spider Esper unleashed more and more Spider Silk, creating a dense web. Although her vines could hold off the onslaught for now, they were beginning to falter.
Gritting her teeth, Jiang Wenyu closed her eyes and focused her mind, attempting to concentrate her power for a decisive strike.
In an instant, the ground beneath her began to tremble as thick vines burst forth from the earth, winding toward the Spider Esper.
Jiang Ming watched as the Frog Esper was trapped by Ice Shards, frowning. The Ice Shard had been unable to contain it for long. Sharing the same water attribute and conserving his strength for now, he only used Sanfengli.
Because he hadn't used his full power, the Frog Esper's struggles grew more intense, gradually shattering the Ice Shard. Seeing that the Frog Esper was about to break free from the ice, Jiang Ming reached back and grabbed Yan Qing around the waist, leaping backward to land on a sturdy branch several meters high.
Yan Qing was contemplating how to deliver a fatal blow to the Frog Esper while remaining vigilant against the giant python that could attack at any moment. He didn't notice Jiang Ming's actions.
As Jiang Ming pulled him back, Yan Qing lost his balance for a moment and stumbled. Jiang Ming quickly caught him in his arms while Yan Qing instinctively placed his hand on Jiang Ming's chest for support.
As they retreated, Yan Qing looked up at Jiang Ming, who was closely pressed against him. His gaze flickered over Jiang Ming's figure before everything passed in an instant.
Once they landed steadily on the branch, Yan Qing silently withdrew his hand. Jiang Ming also released his grip but tightened his hold on Yan Qing's arm and turned to ask with concern, "Are you okay?"
Yan Qing shook his head and pointed toward a certain direction. "Someone is coming."
Following his gaze, Jiang Ming saw another group rushing through the jungle just a few dozen meters ahead of them. It appeared that yet another band of "robbers" was trying to take advantage of the chaos.
Four figures swiftly darted through the trees. Even from their elevated position on the branch, Yan Qing could sense a mysterious aura emanating from them.
As soon as a man in a white shirt wearing Golden Wire Glasses appeared, he threw several black balls toward the crows attacking Drui Feng.
The small balls exploded among the crows, releasing a thick cloud of smoke. The crows were enveloped in the mist, causing chaos as they squawked in confusion.
"I hope I'm not late, brothers," one of the four called out.
Jiang Wenyu and Drui Feng exchanged glances, frowning at Jing Chen's actions. This situation seemed unusual; it looked like they weren't reinforcements summoned by the enemy but rather allies coming to assist them.
After sending a nearby crow flying, Drui Feng turned to Jing Chen and said, "Hey, you look pretty cool, fighting with glasses on."
Jing Chen smiled lightly, and from behind his elegant figure emerged three individuals—those were the three who had previously acted arrogantly as a team of Ability Users composed of a Lion, a giant crocodile, and a Plant Esper.
The two groups faced each other, caught in a standoff.
"Let's work together to take down this guy first, then we can resume our competition," Jiang Ming shouted from his elevated position towards Jing Chen's side.
Jing Chen glanced up at him, raised an eyebrow, paused for a moment, then leaned closer to whisper something into the ear of the Lion from the opposing team.
The words were too soft for the others to hear from a distance, yet they still gathered their Psychic Ability energy behind them in preparation for any sudden moves.
After Jing Chen finished speaking, the Lion nodded and took a couple of steps forward toward Yan Qing's team. "Alright then, let's cooperate for now."
