In an instant, a terrifying shockwave enveloped the Earth Martial Artists.
Smoke filled the air, and the Wind-Lightning Cave was suffused with a fiery aura.
They were Self-Destructive Flame Beads!
Earlier, after Ye Xuan had suggested they wait, he had also offered another piece of advice: bury the Self-Destructive Flame Beads.
His explanation at the time was this: if no one followed them, all would be well. But if someone did, and they were capable of entering the Wind-Lightning Cave, their strength would surely be far greater than their own.
By that point, even if they spotted the enemy, they would be utterly helpless. Burying the Self-Destructive Flame Beads was a precaution, just in case.
Fortunately, Zhao Wei had accepted this suggestion.
He had taken the five Self-Destructive Flame Beads he had left and buried them all in the ground to set a trap.
