Looking up, the explosion of purple lightning burst forth into a mushroom cloud, enveloped by white smoke, resembling a colossal tasty Chinese mushroom.
A moment later, as the smoke ascended, everyone finally saw what had happened at the site of the explosion.
Scattered on the ground were Thunder Element Crystals and a somewhat worn-down Flame Lotus, all lying within a huge crater.
Nezha emerged from the battered Flame Lotus with a string of curses, stomping out of the crater.
His fierce gaze swept across everyone present. No matter if they were from the Thunder Element Spirit Clan or the Human Clan, anyone who met his eyes instinctively lowered their heads.
Only Zhao Gongming, grinning gleefully, met Nezha's gaze with a smile.
The Skill he had just replicated was quite useful to himself.
Although due to the unique traits of his body, he lacked the Origin Energy of the Thunder Attribute like the opponent.
But without it, the Skill only had slightly less explosive power; otherwise, every aspect remained the same.
Together with his own physical strength, he felt no great pressure in withstanding such blasts.
Didn't Nezha withstand it?
Although it was because of the Lotus Embodiment, with his own weaker power, he believed he could withstand it too.
What Zhao Gongming didn't realize was that Kayadinger couldn't withstand the might of this Skill at all.
The reason he dared to use that Skill was because, during the explosion, he had quietly played two Purple Quality Skill Cards.
One was Thunder Barrier, which could absorb a portion of the attack's Thunder Attribute Energy, reducing the damage from Thunder Attribute attacks.
The other was Electric Therapy, which allowed each Thunder Attribute attack received to recover some Physical Strength and injury.
Just like right now.
Although he was blasted away by the explosion, rising to the peak of the trajectory, the thunder and lightning of Thunderstorm Canyon did cause him some harm.
Yet, this damage was not fatal.
Slowly descending, this thunder and lightning also nourished his body, restoring his Physical Strength and healing his injuries.
"Damn Human Clan!"
Having crashed to the ground fiercely, Kayadinger was still capable of some movement thanks to Electric Therapy and didn't just collapse there.
Struggling to stand up, he cursed the Human Clan and looked behind him.
The only passage of Thunderstorm Canyon was not a straight path, so he couldn't see the battle between his clan members and the Human Clan behind him.
But he also knew he couldn't hesitate.
After standing up and cursing, he immediately ran towards the previous campsite of the Thunder Element Spirit Clan.
He couldn't stay in Thunderstorm Canyon any longer.
After the Human Clan had eliminated all of his clansmen, they would inevitably rush over to occupy the campsite that was once his.
Compared to battling the Thunder Element Spirit Clan in Thunderstorm Canyon, the Human Clan certainly understood that keeping the Thunder Element Spirit Clan out was the best tactic.
"Damn bastards, I'll remember you!"
As Kayadinger fled, he cursed furiously in his heart.
He had memorized the individual wielding two Flames guns, with three heads and eight arms.
Not just him, but also that one riding the Black Tiger.
The rider of the Black Tiger had slain Clement, and Clement's clan would not let him off easily.
The patriarch of the Clement family was a significant figure even among their Spirit Clan.
"Just wait, just wait!"
"You can't escape, and even if you do, the settlements of your Human Clan will be destroyed!"
"This Grotto Heaven will ultimately be our Elemental Spirit Clan's!"
"Why must you Human Clan meddle in a Grotto Heaven so fitting for our Elemental Spirit Clan!"
The more Kayadinger thought, the angrier he got. However, his feet never stopped, and soon he had sprinted out of Thunderstorm Canyon.
Thunderstorm Canyon was located at the border between the Human Clan's and the Elemental clans' territories, so escaping the canyon meant he was now within their domain.
Kayadinger heaved a sigh of relief, but remained vigilant and continued to run towards the camp of the Elemental Spirit Clan.
Jiang Yuan and the others had already started cleaning up the battlefield.
Normally, loot distribution after battles with other races is troublesome because looting corpses is difficult.
There is usually a machine specifically for recording, later used for replay to determine who gets to loot the bodies based on who killed whom.
This rule doesn't take into account other factors, like fights over special treasures, and who claims them in the end.
Such corpse looting is considered relatively fair.
Of course, if someone dies, the spoils from their looting are temporarily stored in a special backpack card.
Later, after leaving the Grotto Heaven, these spoils would be sent to the deceased's family by their friends.
If there are no family members, then the loot goes to the friends.
Naturally, there are people who embezzle, but the laws of Great Xia are strict on this.
If someone reports the embezzlement, upon verification, the whistleblower gets rewarded by the authorities and receives half of your property.
Under such circumstances, nearly no one risks so much to embezzle just a bit of loot.
However, battles against the Elemental Spirit Clan are different.
When members of the Elemental Spirit Clan die, they turn into Elemental Crystals, which can be taken directly. There is no issue with looting for a certain period.
Just like now, the survivors are looting, while Zuo Mulin is replaying the scene to determine who killed which Elemental Crystals, as per the rules of Great Xia.
Of course, the Thunder Element Crystals of the Thunder Element Spirit Clan killed in the explosion caused by Kayadinger also belong to Nezha.
After all, it was the result of Nezha's actions.
"Looting, looting."
Nezha excitedly brings a pile of Purple Quality Thunder Element Crystals in front of Jiang Yuan and lets them spill out with a clatter upon release.
Zhao Gongming next to him does the same, and it seems he has looted almost the same amount of Thunder Element Crystals as Nezha.
But that's expected, as Jiang Yuan's Star Power was nearly not enough for their spending.
Nezha is slightly better; after the powerful Thunder Element Spirit Clan escaped, Nezha's consumption of Star Power greatly reduced.
But it's different for Zhao Gongming. His steel whip consumes a large amount of Star Power with each swing.
This led to Jiang Yuan almost failing to keep up with replenishing his Star Power.
"I feel like I could use a card to restore Star Power."
Jiang Yuan mumbles to himself, an idea forming in his mind.
But in the end, it's just an idea, uncertain when it will come to fruition.
"Old Master, care to give it a try?"
"Sure, let's see."
The Old Master grinned, nodded, and then put his hand on the Elemental Crystals.
Soon, things burst out from the Elemental Crystals like fireworks.
A few white quality cards, several backpack cards, three or four blue quality cards, and one Purple Quality Skill Card.
There was nothing else.
"Um…"
Seeing this result, Jiang Yuan went silent.
This result didn't seem too great.
Nezha, Shi Ji, and Zhao Gongming weren't interested in looting, but they couldn't help but snicker at the Old Master's luck.
"Seems, not so good?"
The Old Master frowned, sounding rather dissatisfied.
"It's okay, at least better than mine."
Jiang Yuan chuckled and didn't mind. After collecting the items, he continued to gesture for the Old Master to join in the looting.
Yep, it's as satisfying as opening a mystery box.
While Jiang Yuan felt great about it, on the other side, Zuo Mulin and his group were watching the replay of Nezha and Zhao Gongming's fierce battle.
They were busy fighting earlier and didn't see the details.
Now, in the replay, Nezha and Zhao Gongming…
