Upon his reminder, everyone looked up.

In the distance above, a mass of dark clouds was rapidly rolling toward them.

Chang Shoushang: "Is it going to rain?"

Jiang Guiju: "So it rains in the East Wilderness Ridge, what a rare phenomenon."

Chang Shilian: "Breaking up always seems to happen in the rain..."

Hang Xing: "We've come this far, there's no turning back, let it rain, nothing can be done."

At this moment, on both sides, about 10 meters away, there were towering rocks, some of which were oddly shaped and could provide shelter.

Yet no one suggested going into the rock maze to take cover from the rain.

Because they had been told before they set off.

One of the most dangerous factors of the East Wilderness Ridge is the rock maze.

These rock mazes contain a mysterious magnetic field, and those who enter easily succumb to illusions.

Now, they were in the heart of a large rock maze within the East Wilderness Ridge.

If they wanted to reach their destination efficiently, this was the route they had to take.

Fortunately, there was a wide enough safety passage through this rock maze, which was the path under their feet.

As long as they stayed on this path without deviation, they would be absolutely safe.

Rumble...

They hadn't taken more than a few steps when the dark clouds spread above them.

[Grass!]

The scarecrow reacted the most enthusiastically to this.

A rainy day was its favored climate, moist and refreshing.

After being soaked, it felt refreshed all over, like being satiated.

[Chomp chomp!]

Bobo, with the scarecrow's head in its mouth, rolled its eyes upwards with a displeased sound.

Covered in fur, it disliked getting wet.

Sensing this situation, Li Pu decided to let it hide in the storage space.

After a pat on its furry head, the little fellow obediently released its grip.

No one else could make it release its mouth, only Li Pu could.

Because being a Summoner, she could feel that kind of affinity.

So while no one was paying attention, Li Pu slipped her into the storage space.

Rumble!

An invisible lightning struck nearby, stirring up a strong air current.

"Something's not right, that's not lightning!"

Hang Xing was the first to react.

Where is there invisible lightning?

This was clearly something else!

Rumble!

Another boom followed, closer to them.

The large rock in the rock maze that was hit quivered slightly.

"Seniors, look over there."

Li Pu, with her keen eyesight, pointed to the far end of the dark clouds.

That part of the cloud was relatively lighter in color but surged more violently than the rest.

Then after the surge, a round cloud ball dropped out from the cloud.

The cloud was merely entwined around the sphere's surface, so as it fell, the cloud quickly dispersed.

However, the dispersal of the surface cloud didn't mean the sphere disappeared.

It simply turned into something invisible, and a few seconds later, crashed to the ground.

Rumble!

This impact was strong, indicating it was a large sphere.

"I know what this is!"

Having witnessed the whole process, Jiang Guiju exclaimed in surprise, "Bubble element! This might be a bubble element!"

This term made Hang Xing and Chang Shilian exchange a glance.

They saw the fear in each other's eyes; the teacher had indeed mentioned this term in class.

Bubble elements, an elemental beast that is between water and wind or a mixture of both.

They are said to be colorless and shapeless, living in clouds, rarely seen by anyone.

Under certain special conditions or unexpected influences, they may occasionally fall from the clouds.

Bubble elements are actually very fragile with a short lifespan.

They are gentle in nature and possess no combat abilities.

But the key lies in their excessive fragility; when slightly impacted, they rupture.

The result of rupture is a violent air-shock explosion.

Originally, Li Pu and Chang Shoushang didn't realize the danger of this situation; bubble elements, sounded like a rather cute thing.

But what happened next made them immediately tense up.

"Poof!"

Suddenly, Hang Xing spewed a mouthful of blue blood.

"Damn it, my Navigating Dog is in trouble."

Holding his chest, his expression looked grim.

Although summoned beasts can reincarnate, their death doesn't come without cost.

The Summoner himself suffers a certain degree of backlash, for this is a heart-connected summoning bond.

"It seems that these bubble elements are more numerous than we imagined!"

With his Navigating Dog blown away by a bubble element, he was very worried about the current situation.

"Why don't we... take shelter in the rock maze?"

At such a juncture, even Chang Shilian couldn't care less about a breakup anymore.

"No, it's even more dangerous inside!"

But Jiang Guiju was adamantly opposed to the idea.

In fact, the rock maze wasn't impossible to navigate; they had spent the entire past year in the East Wilderness Ridge, and had once accidentally entered the maze and encountered illusionary enemies.

At their now more advanced level of skill, it might be chaotic, but at least they could escape.

But the problem was, Li Pu and Chang Shoushang definitely didn't have such experience.

She worried these two juniors couldn't handle the illusions and dangers within the maze.

Because, truly going inside, they would each be on their own.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

The surrounding popping thunder of bubble elements sounded near and far.

The resulting strong air waves surged toward them from multiple directions.

[Grass!]

The lightest scarecrow was blown, wobbling unsteadily, and had to quickly clutch Li Pu's neck.

"We still need to hold our ground here."

Sweeping a glance at the already injured Hang Xing, Jiang Guiju immediately made a decision.

"Let the Roaring Bear protect everyone with its body. It's said the bubble elements won't fall in the same spot twice."

"We just need to endure once, and we'll be safe."

"Whatever happens, we can't be blown into the rock maze."

"You two, think of ways to stabilize your position, even if it means digging a hole to bury your feet!"

"Let's quickly set up safety devices to protect them!"

Rustle!

With these words, suddenly the ground was filled with vines binding everyone.

The force was neither too light nor too heavy, unlike a magical beast's attack.

"Nicely done!"

Understanding what happened, Chang Shoushang gave Li Pu a thumbs-up.

It turned out Li Pu had the scarecrow use [Entangle] to help everyone stabilize themselves.

Though the vines seemed a bit unruly, at this moment, it couldn't be helped.

But just as this measure was completed, before Chang Shilian could summon the Roaring Bear, another surprise occurred.

An invisible bubble element crashed into their midst.

Rumble!
