"It's the ancient beings! Evacuate the house first!"

At this moment, Sunlight finally showed some leadership, speaking while attempting to put away the parchment book and reaching out to use his abilities on the hand.

However, the next moment, another hand stretched out from the lawn behind him, grabbing directly for his left hand.

He dodged immediately, saving his hand, but the parchment book in his hand was snatched away.

"Great Sun, punish those who are evil!"

He shouted loudly.

Instantly, a powerful beam of sunlight shone upon that hand.

The hand, upon being exposed to the sunlight, immediately began to emit blue smoke, and a dense stench filled the air rapidly.

At the same time, it felt the pain and released the parchment book.

He was about to pick it up when a third hand broke through the lawn in front of him, attacking him.

The others didn't remain idle during this time.

Ethan and Anya immediately drew their guns and fired at the hand the moment it appeared.

The hand had appeared quite unexpectedly, catching even Ethan's sense of malevolence off guard, unable to detect it initially.

The alchemical items crafted by Huoyan were indeed excellent, perfectly meeting Ethan's requirements.

One of those requirements being immense power.

His bullets and Anya's bullets arrived subsequently, hitting the joints of that hand, causing a burst of thick, deep green blood.

The hand was shattered.

Meanwhile, green vines wrapped around the hand.

The shadow's clone shadow followed the gap broken by the hand, delving underground.

Huoyan also finally fired at the hand after Ethan and the others shot.

Only that first-level enforcer screamed miserably, recklessly rushing towards the door.

Then...

"Boom——"

He was stomped into the ground from head to toe by a pair of large, sticky, wet feet.

He was crushed into a pulp of flesh.

The one who crushed him was a burly man with a square face, looking extremely intimidating.

Ethan had seen people of this appearance and stature in Saint Kuanti's data; these were the natives of Saint Kuanti.

The man had lifeless eyes, entirely devoid of expression, seemingly unfazed by having just stomped a first-level enforcer to death. He stepped on the ground covered in blood and flesh, slowly walking into the house, blocking the door.

At the same time, the two hands besieging Sunlight also climbed out from beneath the lawn.

They, too, were natives of Saint Kuanti, only much smaller in stature compared to the one blocking the door.

Only the owner of the hand Ethan and the others had attacked with full force seemed to be entangled by vines and shadows, temporarily unable to surface.

Ethan didn't hesitate, firing several shots at the lawn until that hand stopped moving, then shifted his aim to the ancient being at the door.

However, at this moment, Sunlight, having dodged the ancient being besieging him, shouted, "You two handle these two; I'll hold off the largest one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he shouted again.

"Oh Sun, I praise your greatness; let your glory descend and make me indestructible!"

The next moment, a layer of sunlight enveloped his body, forming a light-forged armor, and he charged toward the tallest ancient being.

The ancient being extended a hand to strike him, bringing a fierce gust of wind with it.

With a "boom——," Sunlight's figure trembled, but it held firm for the moment.

Seeing this, Ethan quickly pivoted his aim, seamlessly coordinating with Anya to shift their fire.

Needless to say, despite his experience, Forest was not worse in combat, with vines rising from the ground, entangling the two ancient beings.

Adding to that, the shadow's clone shadow swiftly rushed in, circling behind the two ancient beings, stabbing at their vital points with shadow-formed weapons.

Soon, the two were dealt with.

In the end, only the tallest ancient being remained.

Sunlight was clearly struggling to hold on, but fortunately, Forest's vines rose again, helping to alleviate the pressure.

And Ethan and Anya's firepower also followed up.

However, a problem arose.

Their bullets surprisingly failed to penetrate this ancient being's flesh; they were all lodged within its skin and flesh.

Its physical strength was far beyond what they had imagined.

Seeing this, Shadow immediately directed his clone shadow to try using shadow weapons, but to no avail.

"Hurry, think of something! I can't hold on! We're all going to die here!"

Sunlight shouted vehemently.

Ethan's gaze turned to his own hand just as he was about to step out.

Huoyan spoke up: "I have an alchemical bomb, Shadow, find a way to deliver it into this big guy's mouth; it can surely explode! This alchemical bomb is extremely powerful!"

As he spoke, he took out a small, silver-glowing grenade-like bomb.

Shadow immediately took it and handed it to his clone shadow.

His shadow, being intangible and formless, executed the task perfectly.

His clone shadow, under his control, quickly approached the big guy, climbing up toward its mouth.

The alchemical bomb was about to be delivered into the mouth of the ancient being.

Suddenly.

Ethan's highly concentrated senses detected a faint malevolence emerging beneath their feet, right where...

"Shadow! Watch out!"

He shouted, firing his gun at the ground.

Unfortunately, it was too late; a hand suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbing Shadow's leg and tearing it off in an instant.

He cried out in pain and fell, and his shadow vanished. The alchemical bomb tumbled to the ground, rolling into the shadow.

Simultaneously, Sunlight seemed to buckle under the strain, taking a step back.

This step caused the ancient being to lean forward suddenly, crashing to the ground with a 'boom'.

Sunlight used the opportunity to slip past, leaping out of the door in a flash.

He ran.

He actually ran!

Seeing this, Forest, who was the second closest to the door, didn't hesitate either, charging out without looking back, shouting: "Wait for me, Sunlight! I'm useful to you!"

"Tanya." Ethan snorted coldly.

Anya's gun followed Forest's retreat path.

But Forest, possessing significant skill, reacted swiftly. Vines shot up to protect him, blocking Anya's shots and sealing the exit.

The tall ancient being, who had stumbled to the ground, was also getting back up.

The situation was dire to the extreme.

Huoyan immediately detonated the rolling alchemical bomb, instantly creating a breach.

"Go!" he shouted to Ethan and Anya.

Yet Ethan did not move; instead, he made a gesture that Huoyan couldn't comprehend, reaching out towards the rising ancient being's head.

The next moment.
