"Why are they gone?" Bubble Bean shouted to Xu Huo, then couldn’t help but say, "Where did this wind come from?"
"The sealing barrier was broken, isn’t it normal for wind to come in?" Xu Huo symbolically looked back, "People are coming, let’s split up, when the time comes, set the fire."
Bubble Bean no longer paid attention to the Girl in the painting and ran in another direction.
By this time, the rising fluff had already covered the vast forest around, plus it was still dark, so nothing could be seen with the eyes.
But players don’t rely solely on their eyes for orientation.
Xu Huo had walked less than twenty steps into the depths of the medicine field when several players appeared around him. Simultaneously, three spatial ray blades released by instruments intersected towards him.
Without using any defense props, Xu Huo merely manipulated spatial power, and the Water Rubik’s Cube hidden in his body automatically released power, covering his body surface, effortlessly blocking the three spatial rays.
With the inability to cut, these small forces couldn’t restrict Xu Huo’s actions. He released the armed flying device to further stir up the endless fluff, then charged with maximum speed towards a nearby player on the left, using sheer physical strength and running momentum to slam the player and his defensive barrier out of the way, then directly transferred behind another with the Eyes Behind, driving the Black Blade into the player’s throat!
A stream of blood was brought out by the Black Blade. Pushing away the lifeless body, Xu Huo threw out "Central Gravity," letting the prop’s power pull him and two other players into the air. As the distance between them closed, he aimed the "Sealing Door" at one person’s forehead.
The instrument power capable of changing the Water Rubik’s Cube’s defensive barriers easily broke through this player’s defensive barrier. However, he seemed to have a decent life-saving prop; at the instant the "Sealing Door" hit his forehead, a dull collision sound rang out, and ultimately, it did not pierce his head—it only left a shallow hole between his eyebrows.
It’s indeed a formidable district, with advanced players having abundant resources.
Though he dodged one move, he couldn’t evade the next one. "Everything Wants to Slice," concealed by the fluff, smoothly slashed through his neck.
A sudden force clamped Xu Huo mid-air, as if a very narrow cavity appeared in the air, trapping him inside. The player who previously used characteristics to stop space reappeared.
"Again?" Xu Huo turned the ring on his hand, and Time Force surged through space, blanketing the medicine field’s center. The range wasn’t large, but enough to cover the player.
His area control wasn’t precise, giving the player some distance from the Time Force’s edge, hence he couldn’t enter its range. So, he threw the Black Blade through the air, and when the blade entered the zone and was forced to slow, he stopped inducing the Time Force.
Without the Time Force restraint, the Black Blade accelerated toward the opponent’s throat. But the player reacted swiftly, slowing it down with characteristics. Without touching the blade, he retreated without hesitation.
The two other players retreated with him, instantly creating a thousand-meter distance.
Xu Huo didn’t pursue but sheathed the blade and waved into the air. After the Girl in the painting came down gleefully, he took out a lighter and set a fire into the sky.
The fluff was flammable and light, and the fire quickly spread in the air, erupting into a massive blaze. The falling sparks inevitably ignited the surrounding medicinal plants. In an instant, the fluff-covered field turned into a field of fire, shrouded in black smoke.
With the fluff no longer blocking vision, Xu Huo saw the three players who hadn’t left. He released several trackers, accompanied by mechanical warning sounds:
"You have become law enforcement targets. Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately!"
Their expressions didn’t change at all, clearly disbelieving he was truly from the Law Enforcement Team.
At this moment, fires broke out in two other directions of the medicine field, also accompanied by armed flying devices and trackers, repeating the warning:
"You have become law enforcement targets. Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately!"
Wen Xin and a few others had returned, as expected, bringing a law enforcement squad with them. They practically fought all the way into the medicine field, hence the numerous armed flying devices chasing after.
Gunfire continually erupted, besides them, some other distant players were also forced over. They were accomplices of those surrounding Xu Huo. When Bubble Bean flanked from the side, he successfully dragged them into the battle between Wen Xin and the Law Enforcement Team.
The melee began.
The members of the Law Enforcement Team ordinarily wouldn’t carry a full set of equipment. Besides the armed flying devices, trackers, and some other small devices, they typically relied more on props. Previously, when Wen Xin provoked them, he deliberately shattered their law enforcement officer’s credentials, showing no mercy. Consequently, this law enforcement squad did not hold back either. Although the flying devices yelled for surrender, the law enforcement personnel aimed for their demise!

"The agreed time with Wen Xin hasn’t arrived yet." Bubble Bean suddenly stopped, gazing at a patch of medicinal plants and frowned, "This... seems to be a mutant variety of fluff plants."
"What kind of fluff plants?" Xu Huo also halted.
"I can’t recall the name, but I know that after mutation, these plants can sense each other. Once one seed starts floating, all nearby plants will release their seeds simultaneously," Bubble Bean cautiously restrained his movement. "And these fluffs generally obscure the sun and sky, unlike fog or sand that can be blown away with air-current props; the stronger the wind, the more scattered they become, with varying lightness, making it impossible to see anything inside."
"Look at this extent, unless a tornado comes from one direction, once it starts moving, it won’t stop in a short time."
"It’s planted in the medicine field, without any defensive measures?" Xu Huo looked around, then suddenly heard a "snap" from the Girl in the painting’s direction. Turning his head, he saw her breaking a sensor off the ground.
The alarm sounded, and seeing Xu Huo and Bubble Bean staring at her, the Girl in the painting instantly tossed the broken sensor into the medicine field.
"No—" Bubble Bean’s voice choked halfway in his throat, then he saw the fluff start bouncing up where it hit. The next second, the seemingly endless medicine field toppled like dominoes, one plant touching another, one section hitting another, countless fluffs rising into the air like fallen snow!
Sight was suddenly dominated by whiteness, and within such scale, barrier props were meaningless. To avoid getting fluffed in their faces, Xu Huo and Bubble Bean donned their protective suits.
The Girl in the painting didn’t care, standing aside, first gazing in amazement at the sky full of fluff. After watching for two seconds, she excitedly dashed into the medicine field, and her backpack fell to the ground. The scattered notebook pages, along with herself, got swept into the fluff.
