The fireball shot out of the storage room and struck the wall, instantly leaving a dark, burned spot. Seeing this, Long Yu's eyes flickered. He glanced at Yao Ran, and the two of them
understood what the others were thinking.
Before the enemy could shoot another fireball, Long Yu rushed through the underground entrance. Seeing this, Huang Qian and Jia Xiang were startled and called out in shock.
"Captain, be careful!"
Just as Long Yu stepped onto the stairs, another fireball shot toward him. Without slowing down, he circulated his wind-element energy to wrap around the fireball, sucking out the oxygen around it.
Phsh...
Deprived of oxygen, the fireball immediately vanished. Seeing this, a slight smile appeared on Long Yu's lips. As Long Yu led the way underground, Yao Ran followed closely behind him. In the storage room, Huang Qian turned to Jia Xiang and said, "Sister Xiang, you stay here. I will go down to support them."
They couldn't leave the entrance unguarded, so Jia Xiang agreed, "Be careful."
"Mhm, you too." With that, Huang Qian hurried downstairs.
Meanwhile, Long Yu and Yao Ran had already reached the underground room. As soon as they arrived, the two scanned the dark room. Before they could see anything, two more fireballs flew at a fast speed toward them.
Shyu~! Shyu~!
The sudden burst of fire illuminated the darkness, allowing Yao Ran to see their surroundings clearly. As she took in the scene, Long Yu used his wind element ability to control the fireballs, using them as a light source for the dark underground room.
With the room now brighter, Yao Ran and Long Yu finally saw the person who had been attacking them with fireballs.
A boy stood before them, glaring fiercely, as sweat slid down his chin and dripped to the ground. Behind him, a group of children stared at Yao Ran and Long Yu with fear in their eyes. Seeing this, Long Yu and Yao Ran exchanged glances before lowering their guns.
When Huang Qian arrived, he saw this and quietly asked Long Yu, "Captain, who are these children?"
Long Yu shook his head, then turned to look at the boy and asked, "Were you the one who attacked us with fireballs?"
The boy glared at him and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Get out of our house!"
Observing his guarded expression, Yao Ran touched Long Yu's arm and whispered, "Let's go."
Long Yu considered her suggestion, then looked at the frightened children hiding behind the boy and said, "Retreat."
The three of them slowly backed toward the stairs, maintaining eye contact with the boy. Once they left, the boy fell to his knees.
