Chapter 1293: Eye of Fire

In less than half an hour, Future continuously used nearly a hundred Fireball spells, burning countless ants to death, and the air was filled with a strange burnt smell.

But these ants seemed endless; as soon as one batch was burned, another batch immediately replaced them, and their offensive showed no signs of weakening.

Slowly, Future's face began to turn pale, her casting speed became slower and slower, the fireballs she released grew smaller and smaller, and her hands began to tremble slightly—a sign of mana exhaustion.

At this moment, the people beside her became nervous again. Only then did they realize that a Cultivator's mana was not infinite, and like the gasoline before, it would eventually run out.

Once Future collapsed from exhaustion, they would still be unable to escape death, ultimately becoming food for the ants.

Ye Bufan patted Future's shoulder, "Alright, take a break."

"Ye Dage, I can still hold on."

Future's tender face was full of stubbornness.

She thought Ye Bufan was just a Martial Artist, and a Martial Artist was clearly at a disadvantage against an ant swarm.

Ye Bufan said, "You don't need to be so tired. With me here, it's fine."

Noviski said annoyedly, "Kid, what time is it? You're still showing off."

He didn't believe that Ye Bufan could solve the problem of these ants. He was just a doctor; no matter how good his Medical skill was, what could he do? Would he take the ants' pulse and diagnose them?

Ye Bufan glanced at him with disdain, "I'm not like you; I never make big boasts."

Noviski's old face flushed. "No big boasts, huh? Alright, those ants are coming again. Let's see how you solve it…"

He had only spoken halfway when he suddenly stood there as if struck by a paralysis spell, his face filled with shock and fear.

Two streams of flame suddenly shot out from Ye Bufan's eyes. After the flames landed on the ground, they immediately spread out like a carpet.

Unlike Future's Fireball spell before, these flames seemed endless and were not limited to a hundred-meter range. They were like surging tides, quickly engulfing the surrounding ants completely.

Everyone present was stunned, including Feili, Noviski, and the guards.

Sofia's eyes widened even more, filled with extreme shock, as if she had seen an alien.

The most shocked was Future. As the saying goes, amateurs watch the excitement, while experts watch the technique. She immediately saw the extraordinary nature of this Art.

"Ye Dage, are you a Holy Rank Cultivator?"

She never expected that Ye Dage was a Dual Cultivation practitioner, and had even reached the Realm of a Holy Rank Cultivator.

A flash of fire appeared in Ye Bufan's eyes.

The Eye of Lihuo then transformed into two flickering flames hidden in his eyes.

"Just so-so, it's nothing much."

For Ye Bufan, it truly was nothing. After reaching the Holy Rank Realm, he could use the Origin Qi of heaven and earth to cast Arts, and the consumption of mana was far less than that of an Art Grandmaster.

As long as he wished, he could use the Eye of Lihuo for three days and three nights.

At this moment, Noviski swallowed, his face burning, not knowing what to say.

From the moment they met, he had despised Ye Bufan from the bottom of his heart. The other party was just a small doctor, completely unworthy of such high treatment from the Lawrence Family.

Especially after his repeated provocations, Ye Bufan showed no significant reaction, which he interpreted as a sign of weakness.

Only now did he realize that the person was not weak at all, but rather disdainful.

As a Heavenly Rank Warrior, he was nothing in front of a Holy Rank Cultivator. If the other person wished, he could be turned to ashes at any moment.

Just then, a guard suddenly shouted, "Look, those ants are retreating!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, only to see that under the moonlight, the ants retreated like a receding tide, quickly disappearing into the forest, as if they had never appeared.

"My God, these damned devils are finally gone."

The guards finally relaxed their tense hearts. A few with poorer psychological resilience, unable to bear the immense pressure, collapsed directly to the ground.

"Dr. Ye, I was wrong before. I formally apologize to you."

Noviski came before Ye Bufan and bowed deeply.

As a Heavenly Rank Warrior, although he was proud, he knew even more to respect the strong. After witnessing Ye Bufan's Cultivation, he immediately lowered his head and apologized.

"Alright, let bygones be bygones." Ye Bufan waved his hand casually, then said to everyone present, "The danger has passed. Everyone, quickly rest. We still have to set off tomorrow."

Next, Noviski began to organize the camp, dividing the 9 guards into 3 shifts for rotating duty.

Having experienced the recent incident, they dared not be careless in the slightest. In this perilous place, who knew what crisis might appear next second.

Feili looked at Ye Bufan, her eyes filled with many complex emotions. She was about to step forward to speak, but saw Sofia walk over first.

"Little handsome guy, how did you do that just now? Was that also a special ability?"

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, "If you say it is, then it is."

"I didn't expect you to have such abilities; it's truly admirable."

Sofia then shook her head regretfully, "If our team had a strong person like you, we wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament."

"Alright, it's getting late. Hurry and rest."

Ye Bufan said, then turned and entered his tent.

They had brought ample supplies this time, with two people sharing one tent. Future and Feili were both women, and according to the previous arrangement, they would share a tent.

But now with Sofia added, the tents were a bit insufficient. Three women couldn't possibly squeeze into one small tent.

"Little handsome guy, I'll squeeze in with you."

Sofia finished speaking and, without waiting for Ye Bufan's reply, directly slipped into his tent and lay down beside him.

This was somewhat unexpected by everyone, but Noviski and the others pretended not to see it.

If it had been before, they would have been consumed by jealousy, but after knowing that Ye Bufan was a Holy Rank expert, they didn't even have the courage to be jealous.

Future's expression didn't change much; she lowered her head and slipped into the tent.

But for some reason, an unprecedented sourness suddenly welled up in Feili's heart. Sofia sleeping in the same tent as Ye Bufan made her extremely uncomfortable.

What's going on? Could it be that I've fallen for Dr. Ye?

Due to her Family's curse, although she had never had a boyfriend, it didn't mean she was foolish. She was still very clear about matters of love between men and women.

However, she was immediately startled by her own thought and quickly drove this terrifying idea from her mind. Before the curse was lifted, she could not like anyone.

Inside the tent, Ye Bufan showed no reaction. He neither welcomed nor drove Sofia away, but simply closed his eyes and began to rest, as if nothing had happened.

Sofia lay there for a while, and finding that the other party showed no reaction, she couldn't help but say, "Hey, do you not think I'm pretty?"

Ye Bufan didn't move, and three words came from his mouth: "Just alright."

Sofia was annoyed. How could she, a great beauty, be described as just 'alright' in his eyes?

"Little handsome guy, do you not like women?"

"I do."

"Then you don't have any thoughts about me?"

Ye Bufan said very straightforwardly, "No."

"You, I bet you're a big gay."

Sofia said huffily.

She had originally wanted to tease Ye Bufan and extract some secrets from him, but now she could only abandon that idea.
