Ever since they unlocked the skill, [ Blade dance ], the group battle that Ye Fei and the others had been having a headache over had instantly turned into a massive gain!

A one-sided huge gain for him!

Seeing that everywhere the leaves passed, there were only broken limbs on the ground, green sunflower and the others were almost dumbfounded.

Xiao Yi shouted in an exaggerated manner, “Damn! What kind of skill is this?! It’s too powerful!”

“Such a powerful area-of-effect skill, why didn’t you use it earlier?”

“If you had used this from the beginning, we would have gone to the third floor by now!”

Facing Xiao Yi’s shock and doubt, Ye Fei only replied indifferently, “Blade dance. It was just unlocked.”

Only then did Xiao Yi notice that the nine-leaf blade grass had leveled up, and he was shocked again.

“You leveled up in the middle of a battle! And you unlocked the skill that you needed the most! Your luck is really too good!”

“Is there any secret? Share it with me.”

Ye Fei could only smile and say nothing.

He couldn’t possibly tell Xiao Yi that this was actually the system’s quest reward, right?

Then Xiao Yi would probably lament that God was unfair, why didn’t he have such a system as well?

Forget it.

While they were talking, most of the scarlet flame ants had already been wiped out.

The remaining few were quickly divided up by the Lunar Direwolf, the Little White Tiger, and the Giant Crystal Scorpion.

Looking at the wreckage on the floor of the cell, Ye Fei was actually not satisfied with it.

“It’s so quick to clean it up, it’s really not satisfying… I just need more.”

With more, perhaps his nine-leaf sword grass could continue to level up.

Ling Xuewei didn’t think so.

She had always been afraid of things like snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Looking at the densely packed red flame ant corpses on the floor, she felt her scalp go numb, and she didn’t want to stay here for a second longer.

“Let’s go to the next floor quickly!”

After saying that, Ling Xuewei rushed out of the cell and ran up to the second floor in one breath. She still felt a lingering fear in her heart.

She really didn’t dare to recall the scene of the densely packed carcasses of ants.

Ye Fei and the others followed her up to the second floor.

Many of the prison cells on the second floor had already been unlocked. This meant that a small team had already entered to challenge them.

There were also some who simply opened their doors, leaving only the corpses of the fierce beasts inside. Even the battle had already ended.

Xiao Yi sighed, “Their progress is too fast… we’ve only just arrived, and they’ve already finished fighting? We’re so far behind!”

Ye Fei was not surprised by this.

They did not have any area-of-effect damage skills before, so they could only kill the ants one at a time, which took a lot of time.

If other parties encountered a single-target beast, or if they also encountered a group of monsters, but the other party had area-of-effect skills from the beginning, so it was normal for them to fight faster than them.

Ye Fei calmly said, “It’s just a temporary lag. We can still catch up later.”

“Moreover, this isn’t a race. If we rush ahead quickly, it doesn’t count as an advantage, but it doesn’t mean that we can definitely go far.”

“Let’s calm down and fight according to our own rhythm. We shouldn’t compete with other teams. We just need to steadily fight our way up one level at a time.”

Qing Kui and the others felt that what Ye Fei said made sense. They also adjusted their mentality and were no longer so impatient.

As the team leader, Ye Fei naturally had to decide on the cell he chose.

Since it was a random box anyway, Ye Fei randomly chose one.

“This one.”

With a light push, the restriction on the door was instantly removed.

Ye Fei silently muttered in his heart, “Let’s have another wave of monsters…”

The newly unlocked sword was so cool to use. Ye Fei wanted to enjoy the thrill of harvesting again.

Inside the cell, it was green.

It was full of plague rats.

Seeing the room full of rats, Ling Xuewei cried out loud.

This time, Ye Fei was prepared. Hearing her scream, he immediately cast a skill —

“Root entanglement!”

The roots of the nine-leaf sword grass instantly covered the entire cell, binding all the plague rats on the spot!

After leveling up, its root bind skill had also been strengthened. Whether it was the range of bind or the tenacity of the roots, it was much stronger than before the leveling up.

“Blade dance!”

Ye Fei ordered again, ready to use the nine-leaf sword grass’s area-of-effect damage to clear the area.

However, Ling Xuewei suddenly screamed, “Don’t! Don’t hit!”

Ye Fei was stunned for a moment. With a thought, the nine-leaf sword grass also forced the brake at the charging stage, not shooting the leaves out.

“What’s wrong? Why can’t we hit?” Ye Fei asked her patiently.

Ling Xuewei covered her eyes and did not dare to look at the plague rats, however, she still held back her disgust and fear and explained, “The plague rats carry a large amount of plague virus. After they die, their bodies will explode in a small area, releasing all the virus in their bodies.”

“If we use an area-of-effect skill to destroy them all at the same time, with so many plague rats exploding at the same time, the area of the poisonous fog released will become very large. At that time, we won’t have any place to hide.”

“A few years ago, there was a group that was eliminated just like that.”

After hearing Ling Xuewei’s words, Ye Fei could not help but feel some lingering fear.

He did not know much about plague rats. He only knew that their bodies were poisonous. Anyone who touched them or was bitten by them would be poisoned.

As for the poisonous fog released after the corpse exploded, Ye Fei really did not know that.

If not for Ling Xuewei’s timely reminder, the four of them would have been eliminated according to his previous plan.

Thinking about this, Ye Fei said seriously, “Ling Xuewei, thank you for your timely reminder. You saved all of us.”

Hearing the Prince Charming praising her, Ling Xuewei was so excited that she actually screamed. She even forgot her fear of the plague rats.

However, her words were still arrogant.

“I just don’t want to be implicated and eliminated together.”

Qing Kui did not understand Ling Xuewei’s duplicity. Hearing her say such words, she was immediately unhappy. She directly retorted, “If you’re afraid of being implicated, you can leave the team and act alone.”

Ling Xuewei was not willing to be outdone. “Whether I leave the team or not, that’s none of your business.”

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder was getting more and more intense, Ye Fei quickly stopped her. “Alright, alright, let’s stop talking. The trial is more important.”

Qing Kui and Ling Xuewei rolled their eyes at each other and did not say another word.

Ye Fei said again, “I want to try to destroy these plague rats in small groups, but I’m not sure if I can succeed yet.”

“If the skill is not controlled, it might trigger a serial zombie explosion.”

“To be safe, you guys stay away from them. Keep your pets away.”

The plague rats were still low-level fierce beasts after all. The virus on them was not fatal to humans, but it might be fatal to pets.

So to be safe, Ye Fei told them not to participate in the battle for the time being.
