Ye Feng kept away the spider silk and held Weakling as he maintained the ring of fire around him; he ran towards the exit like the tiny spiders.
These small spiders were very weak but if they got close to a person, they would easily be able to tear them to bits and only leave behind a skeleton.
Although the giant spider was not venomous, it would be a huge problem if these small spiders were.
Unless one was a powerful Knight, they would not be able to deal with this situation.
Of course, this excluded the ones with special offensive skills or secret skills.
Although Ye Feng returned to the town at his full speed, he was still slightly slower than the spiders.
By the time he returned, the spiders had already spread out, he could hear the sound of fighting coming from all over the town, mixed with anguished cries.
Ye Feng could not care about the rest, he could only continue using fire magic to burn the spiders.
Thankfully, there were quite a few Fire Magicians here, they gathered and eradicated the spiders together. Although the efficiency was low, they could assure each other's safety.
The ones who were weaker had already died, the remaining ones were safe barring any accidents. Ye Feng calmed down and started using his spell to kill the spiders.
The truth was, all the various elemental spells were able to kill these spiders, but the most efficient one was fire, after all, they could be killed using ordinary flames.
Ordinary flames were much less taxing on magical energy than the other elements.
These spiders were quickly dealt with but the damage they caused remained, half of the town was destroyed after this calamity.
"The barrier still can't be broken?" After killing all the spiders, Ye Feng gathered with the rest and started to fix the devastated town.
"We have even fewer people now... there is no way out." Someone sighed and said helplessly: "We can only do what you told us earlier and research the formation to find a solution."
Even though Ye Feng had some understanding of formations, he was only a Blacksmith, regarding these large sized formations, his knowledge was limited.
Fortunately, there were others who knew something about formations, everyone's collective effort allowed them to have some progress in this.
Ye Feng did not conceal the matter of the palace, he brought them there as it seemed that the formation core was located in the palace.
Ye Feng had not taken all of the treasures on the second floor but he felt that he had already taken enough. There was no need to be greedy, the most important thing was to leave the town.
Moreover, he could not conceal this floating palace, since they would find out anyway, why not bring them there as a favor?
Eventually, they found the formation core on the second floor, but just finding it was pointless. The formation core was like a bomb, it needed to be defused properly, of course, the formation would not explode if they messed up.
If one's strength was high enough, they could directly destroy the whole formation. But they were not strong enough, so they could only try to find any loopholes here.
"This should be the place..." Ye Feng muttered as he looked at the shining formation below his feet, he injected some energy with his finger.
It might have been his imagination, but Ye Feng heard a cracking sound.
"Did we succeed?" Everyone raised their head subconsciously.
"The energy in the formation seems to be disrupted." Someone inspected the formation and said in a deep voice: "Let's go out and check, we should have succeeded."
Ye Feng and the rest left the palace but Weakling seemed to have fainted for some reason.
After inspecting Weakling's body, Ye Feng found nothing wrong with it. In this situation, he guessed that the formation had some reason to do with this.
Ye Feng could not resolve this now, he carried the fainted Weakling as they left this place.
The barrier had broken indeed, everyone brought the valuables from the town and swam to the surface excitedly.
Only after a short while, several shadows swam rapidly towards them from afar.
As they got closer, a strange sound wave was transmitted to them, other than Ye Feng, everyone else held their heads and started to faint.
Soon, the shadowy figures could be seen, they were similar to the demon beasts that attacked the ship earlier, but they were somewhat different.
After all, the demon beasts earlier did not have the ability to emit sound waves that could make people faint.
These demon beasts seemed like they came with vengeance.
Ye Feng watched as the others sank into the sea, he felt a headache from seeing this.
Although a few were still conscious, they did not seem like they could last for long, all of them were shaking their heads dizzily.
Ye Feng sighed helplessly, he quickly took out the demon cores and potions that were useful to his condition from his spatial bag, he was not in a good state now.
The arm that was pierced had only barely recovered, it was usable in daily life but his combat strength in intense battle was greatly affected.
Earlier, he also expended too much energy burning the spiders. Even before he recovered, he started researching the formation with his remaining energy, even now, his magical energy had only recovered by one-third of the capacity.
While Ye Feng tried to recover as quickly as he could, the demon beasts also noticed Ye Feng who was different from the rest.
Ye Feng had some guesses regarding why he was unaffected. It was likely due to Weakling, earlier, it was able to communicate with the demon beasts, and Weakling was also able to intimidate the giant spider. Not only was it strong, its bloodline was also quite special.
In the eyes of demon beasts, bloodline was an extremely important thing.
"Huff... water tornado!" Ye Feng stretched out his arm as the surrounding sea water turned into a tornado that stalled the demon beasts' attacks.
But he could only stall them, although water magic was more powerful underwater, they were not effective at dealing any damage to the demon beasts.
Ye Feng took out his dagger and tried slashing with it, he found that the resistance was not too high.
He raised his head to look at the nearby demon beasts as he charged forward while unleashing spells.
"Since magic is useless, let's try a big move." Ye Feng muttered softly.
There were only four demon beasts here, he could claim victory by relying on his agility.
"Water dragon!"
Sea water gathered as the vague figures of several dragons could be seen, the surroundings had huge currents from the compression of water.
It seemed like the demon beasts were also able to use magic, Ye Feng quickly dodged the water currents that were aimed at him.
At the same time, he manipulated the water dragon to attack the demon beasts, the clash of currents made it seem like there was a tsunami occurring.
