“Phew … That was close. I almost lost.”

Two seconds after the explosion, Feng bujue’s figure reappeared. He was floating in the air, holding Mad Eye by the back of his collar. He was at the edge of the explosion, so he was not affected.

“Your reaction is pretty fast.” Mad Eye, who had been pulled out of the danger zone by brother Jue in time, did not change his att.i.tude because of that.

“It’s already considered slow. If I had realized what the other party was going to do a few seconds earlier, I might have been able to counter-attack before they made their move. ” Feng bujue replied.

“They?” Mad Eye was about to ask again when a translucent black sphere slowly rose from the thick smoke in front of them.

Through the smoke, Feng bujue could already see three people inside the sphere. They were Blackbeard, ambitionist, and snow.

“As the Pathfinders, can you two explain … What is this situation?” At this moment, Blackbeard was naturally unhappy. Although he and the two people beside him were unscathed, his helpers might not be able to escape from such an attack.

“Hmm …” Feng bujue mumbled to himself,”based on my observation … This should be a combination of explosive Brand and Flame flash. Even though it is only a combination of an average earth element spell and a spirit element spell, because the caster’s mana is extremely high, when it is released …”

“Who asked you about the principles of magic?” Blackbeard interrupted him impatiently before he could finish his sentence.”I’m asking you why you didn’t discover the enemy and send out a signal before such an attack was launched.”

“I’ve noticed. ” Feng bujue spread his hands.”Didn’t I say ‘retreat’?”

“You only shouted a second earlier, are you kidding me?” Blackbeard said.

“Tsk … I also wanted to shout earlier.” Feng bujue said,”but there was no energy fluctuation before the spell was cast. What can I do? “If you don’t believe me, you can ask your officers … Uh …” As he spoke, he looked down at the seawater that was still smoking.”Are they still alive?”

Blackbeard did not answer his question. Instead, he asked,””Since there are no energy fluctuations, you shouldn’t have been able to arrive even a second earlier, right?”

“Ha … Indeed, I didn’t sense any signs of a powerful spell being cast. However, before that wave of attacks came … I caught a magic arrow.” Feng bujue said.

“So what?” Blackbeard asked.

“Generally speaking … That doesn’t mean anything,” Feng bujue said.”But for someone like me, when I encounter something, I will come up with a hundred possible scenarios. And one of the a.s.sumptions is that ‘this is a homing arrow’.”

Blackbeard was very smart. After brother Jue said that, he thought about it again, and many things became clear.

“You mean … There’s more than one person?” Blackbeard quickly changed his question.

“At the current stage, that possibility is very high.” Feng bujue replied,”you saw that move earlier. Even though it’s a hybrid spell, it’s not that advanced. It’s only because of the support of a huge amount of mana that it’s able to produce such power. ” He paused for half a second and said,”if there was only one spellcaster, then there would be a problem … A sorcerer with such mana really doesn’t know how to use other higher level and more efficient spells to attack?”

“Oh …” Hearing this, snow also understood.”But if it’s a large group of average or even weaker magic shooters gathering together to cast a spell, this matter can be explained.”

“That’s right. ” Feng bujue continued,”so, the magic arrow that I took earlier was undoubtedly used to locate the target of the large group of spellcasters.” He paused and continued,”by the way … Judging from the mana from the magic arrow, the guy in charge of positioning the arrow is very powerful. I have a rough idea of the standards of the believers in the illusion fiend church. This guy must be at the level of an officer. In other words … He clearly knows me, knows my ident.i.ty, and has heard my warning, but … He still launched an attack. ”

“Oh?” Blackbeard muttered,”that’s a little strange …”

“Ha!” Mad Eye laughed drily at the side.”Why do I feel that it’s quite normal?” He turned to look at brother Jue.”For someone like that, just by standing in front of me, I have the urge to hack him to death. I can totally understand why he can’t hold back.”

“Hmph …” Blackbeard sneered.”You have a point.”

While they were talking in the sky, in the area that had been flattened by the magic light explosion … In the boiling sea … Figures slowly climbed up from the water.

“I think I’ve been blasted deaf.” The first to reach the sh.o.r.e was mark thick neck. As he walked, he shook the large horse head on his neck.

“Sigh …” His brother, mark hoodlum, followed closely behind. After hearing his brother’s lines, he sighed and grabbed the man’s head with both hands.”Idiot!” What’s the use of shaking it flat?” As he said this, he had already pulled his brother’s head to the left and right and “fell”

“Eh?” Mark thick-neck was overjoyed.”It’s done!”

“Nonsense, can’t you just pour the mud out of your ears?” Even though mark hoodie’s IQ wasn’t high, it was still comparable to his younger brother ‘s. Perhaps … It was because he had a human head, so his intelligence had the upper hand.

At this time, on a mud slope five or six meters away from them, Mr. VOG and neesru also came out of the water.

“Bah, bah, bah, d.a.m.n it! I hate taking a bath!” After spitting out a mouthful of seawater, Mr. VOG still opened his mouth to curse.

And neesru next to him, at this moment, seemed very disappointed. Because … The reflection in the water had told neesru that his “cake head” had completely collapsed at this moment … And had turned into an unusually cowardly “suikataro” hairstyle.

Other than the four officers, brother garlic, gofre, and Madi were also fine. They quickly came out of the water.

However, the situation of the remaining 19 Pirates was not too optimistic … Even though they were members of the Blackbeard Pirates, not all of them could survive such an attack. Of the 19, four never left devil maw Island alive, six were heavily injured and disabled, and the other nine were injured to varying degrees.

Under such circ.u.mstances, Blackbeard decisively ordered the garlic trio and the injured crew members to bring back the injured crew members. Then, they returned with 19 uninjured crew members.

Blackbeard, the three players, Mad Eye, and the four officers on the s.h.i.+p continued to move forward and left marks along the way so that garlic and the others could find their way when they came with reinforcements.

Just like that, the team of thirty was reduced to nine, and one of them … Was still a frenzied eye who had no fighting power and could escape or betray them at any time.

Even so, brother Jue still did not see any sense of danger or anxiety from Blackbeard’s face …

Even though he did not show it, Feng bujue had a feeling in his heart that Blackbeard’s purpose for coming to devil maw Island was not just to find his son, his old subordinates, and the treasure. This Island … Obviously still had some unspeakable secrets.
