Chapter 294 Thump—

"Spirit Flame"

Just as Lingyan was indulging in self-admiration and smugness.

Suddenly, a furious female roar erupted from within the protective shield shrouded in a mysterious light before them.

The roar was like a thunderbolt, its sound waves rolling in, so loud it was deafening, and even the surrounding air seemed to tremble from the roar.

In an instant, the once intact light shield cracked open, creating a huge hole large enough for a person to pass through.

Immediately afterwards, a petite figure shot out from within like an arrow.

As the distance closed, the initially tiny shadow expanded and grew rapidly at an astonishing speed.

Without a doubt, a person was rushing towards Meros and the others from inside the light barrier like a whirlwind.

As she was running, she seemed to suddenly remember something important, and she hurriedly reached into her backpack to search for something.

Before long, she pulled something out of her bag and, without hesitation, hurled it forward with all her might.

A muffled "thud" was heard, and before the person even reached them, the object she had thrown had already flown to their side.

The unidentified object traced an arc in the air before striking Lingyan squarely on the forehead. The impact was so strong that Lingyan staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

At the same time, a large, red, swollen bump quickly swelled up on Lingyan's forehead, looking quite alarming.

"Ouch (?｀?Д?′)!! Why are you all hitting me?!"

Lingyan groaned in pain as he instinctively crouched down, clutching his injured forehead with both hands and letting out cries of agony.

However, judging from his reaction, he had clearly recognized the newcomer's identity.

Lingyan took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.

After a while, he slowly lowered his head and looked at the unidentified object that had just hit him.

The thing was lying quietly on the ground, looking innocent and pitiful, like a child who had done something wrong.

Lingyan discovered that it was actually a small and cute hammer with a handle.

It has a light pink color all over, and is carefully carved with a few delicate little flowers, making it look particularly charming.

The hammer's head is round and smooth, while the handle is polished very finely, making it very comfortable to hold.

However, this seemingly small and cute thing just brought Lingyan quite a "surprise".

This hammer is so small and exquisite that it is even smaller than an adult's palm.

Rather than using it for actual work, it seems more suitable as an accessory for young and beautiful girls, which can be pinned to their bags or clothes to add a touch of playfulness and liveliness to their overall look.

However, the strength of the person who could use such a small thing to generate such tremendous power and cause a large bump to swell on Lingyan's head is truly unimaginable!

"Ling! Yan! I told you to go pick someone up, and you're back so late! [○?｀Д′? ○]"

The newcomer stood in front of Ling Yan, hands on hips, glaring at him angrily.

"Oh dear—Lingluo! I, I brought the person here, didn't I? Look, the person is right here, can you give me some face?"

Lingyan stood up and whispered in Lingluo's ear, begging for mercy.

"You, hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮! Fine, I'll reluctantly forgive you."

Ling Luo glanced at Ling Yan, then at Mo Luo, who was clearly just watching the show from the side, and finally gave Ling Yan some face.

She quickly turned her head and gave Meros a lovely smile.

Clearly, she pretended that she hadn't done anything, and even casually bent down to pick up the small hammer next to Lingyan.

"Have you finished talking?"

Meros crossed his arms and leaned against the stone wall, watching the two people in front of him with great interest, a half-smile playing on his lips.

His deep, sharp eyes shone like stars in the night sky.

“(⊙o⊙)……cough cough cough, um, yes, we're done talking.”

Upon hearing Moros's question, Lingluo was slightly taken aback, and a faint blush instantly appeared on her face. She then coughed a few times to cover up her embarrassment.

After speaking, she raised her head somewhat guiltily, but dared not meet Meros's gaze. Instead, she pretended to look at the sky as if nothing had happened, and then quickly lowered her eyes to stare at the ground beneath her feet, as if there were some rare treasure there.

"In that case, take me to see Lingye quickly. I can't wait to settle this matter as soon as possible, and then go back and cuddle my darling to sleep peacefully."

Melos took in all of Lingluo's little actions, but did not point them out, only smiled slightly.

After saying that, he deliberately stretched and pretended to be very sleepy.

"Hehehe, we're done chatting. I'll go in in a bit. I want to enjoy the cool air for a while. Even though the air conditioning is on, it's still quite hot inside because of all the machines. (ノ￣▽￣)"

Lingyan chuckled and spoke to Molos.

"Yeah, it's so hot inside, I'll go cool off for a bit. (??▽?)?"

Lingluo was reminded and immediately realized what was happening, so she also decided to enjoy the cool breeze for a while.

Meros thought for a moment, then said nothing, standing with them in the wind, looking at the sky that had become completely dark.

By this time, the three of them had been standing in front of the cave entrance for more than ten minutes.

The cold wind blowing continuously from inside the cave whistled past like sharp blades, making people feel a chill to the bone.

They were as if they were in the eye of a storm, their clothes fluttering, their hair flying, and even the hems of their clothes being lifted high by the strong wind.

If someone were to pass by at this moment, they would surely see this scene: two handsome and tall figures and a charming and lovely girl standing proudly in the wind. Their heroic posture has a stunning beauty, like that of a movie cover.

"Hey—what poses are you guys striking! Hurry up and come inside, all the air conditioning is rushing out, it's so hot! (╬￣皿￣)"

Lingye's voice suddenly rang in their ears.

"Captain?! ヽ(?Д?)?"

Lingyan turned his head first and saw Lingye standing at the cave entrance, staring at him intently.

"Captain?!!!!?)?Д?( ")

Lingluo stiffened and turned her head to look when she heard the voice.

"Lingye".

The two exclamations contrasted sharply with Meros's calm voice.

"I'll deal with you guys after this is all over."

Ling Ye glared fiercely at Ling Yan and Ling Luo, then turned to look at Mo Luo.

“Meros, please, let’s go inside and talk.”
