Chapter 325: Trap
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Yuanqing was like a punching bag without a temper. He allowed him to vent their anger on him and did not retort. Instead, he smiled at him as if he really did not have a temper at all.
“General, you might have misunderstood. General White is also thinking for everyone. That’s because there’s a very powerful person in this city. That person has extraordinary skills and can grasp all the energy fluctuations in the entire Sea City. If we’re captured by him, the energy that leaked out will probably be leaked.”
Seeing that Li Yuanqing was so obedient and still reported obediently after being reprimanded by him, Er Lang felt very strange although he did not say it out loud.
He did not know how White Name could tame someone to such a state when he’s so stupid.
If he had that ability, he probably wouldn’t be in his current status. It was because his brain wasn’t working well, that he was only a second-grade general now, but he seemed to have an epiphany after he arrived. Why could he recruit such a loyal subordinate? It was really strange.
“Forget it, I won’t argue with him. Take me to him immediately.”
“General, this way please.”
Li Yuanqing’s body was slightly hunched, like a little servant without a temper. He brought this fellow into a small door. Behind this small door was a deep tunnel. This tunnel was very dark, and it was unknown where it led to.
Er Lang followed Li Yuanqing’s footsteps. The two of them walked down for an unknown period of time, but the path below seemed to be endless. It was never right no matter how they walked.
The more Er Lang walked, the stranger he felt. Suddenly, he stood rooted to the ground and stared at Li Yuanqing, who had also stopped in front of him.
“Where are you taking me, kid?”
“Sir, we’ll be there soon. General White is waiting there. Are you afraid?”
“Why would I be afraid?” Er Lang looked at Li Yuanqing coldly and said, “I’ve been walking for so long, but why haven’t I sensed that fellow’s aura? Where is he? Is he down there?”
Li Yuanqing turned around with the same smile on his face. It made one shiver. But why was that?
“General, why are you in a hurry? You just have to walk down and you’ll know. No matter what I say, you don’t seem to believe me.”
A strange-looking rod slowly appeared in Er Lang’s hand. It did not look like a rod, but like a crooked tree root.
Er Lang held the tree root in his hand and looked at Li Yuanqing coldly.
“If you don’t tell me where you’re taking me, then you’ll have to taste the power of my rod.”
In the end, Li Yuanqing explained, “General, the situation here is difficult. If a trace of energy leaks out and is sensed by that person, we won’t have any place to hide here. Why do you have to be so suspicious?”
“It’s not about how suspicious I am. It’s about how you want to lie to me.”
As he spoke, the rod in his hand had already lit up with a faint purple color. The light gradually became brighter, revealing a strong killing intent.
It seemed that as long as Li Yuanqing did not tell the truth, the intense energy on the rod would become a fatal blow that would crush Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing hurriedly begged for mercy. “General, spare my life. I’ll go down and bring General White up now.”
Li Yuanqing was about to walk down when Er Lang felt that something was wrong. He wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
The entire s.p.a.ce suddenly flickered and everything changed. Just now, they were clearly in an underground abyss, but at this moment, the abyss had disappeared.
The staircase was also nowhere to be seen now, as if nothing had happened just now. Now, this place has turned into a very bright valley. It shone brightly everywhere in the valley. This light was very comfortable.
However, the light did not feel that comfortable when it hit Er Lang’s body. Er Lang felt as if his entire body was being roasted. He struggled in pain to break free, but it was useless.
“You’re courting death!”
Er Lang suddenly shouted. The withered tree root in his hand transformed into a huge purple snake. The python waved its huge body and three heads split out from its body.
His four heads swung their vicious fangs and kept trying to bite his surroundings. However, all his actions were useless. He could not find where the enemy was.
This entire s.p.a.ce is filled with that kid’s aura, but there was no way to accurately find him. Where was he?
For the first time, Er Lang panicked. The panic kept pressing against his nerves, making him extremely nervous. He clearly didn’t feel like this just now. Why would he feel this now? Where was this?
He did not even know how he had stepped into this s.p.a.ce step by step. He arrived here as he followed that kid down the stairs.
He kept waving the scepter in his hand and commanding the pythons to bite everywhere, but such biting was meaningless.
Instead, it had worn down his own strength bit by bit. This feeling made him very panicked. He did not even see where that person was. He had already become like this. Why? Where was that fellow?
“Don’t hide if you have the guts. Come out, come out! What kind of man are you to hide!”
Li Yuanqing did not expect that he would say such words. It was really a strange feeling.
He stood behind this person and quietly watched his incompetent rage.
“That was quite a speech.”
As soon as he heard movement behind him, he immediately turned around and glared at Li Yuanqing.
“Brat, you’re dead!”
The three pythons instantly swept to Li Yuanqing’s side and pretended to devour him. He wanted Li Yuanqing to pay the price for his rash actions. At this moment, the entire s.p.a.ce suddenly distorted strangely.
When the spatial fluctuations calmed down again, Er Lang suddenly realized that his body was wrapped in four-headed snakes. The snakes wrapped him tightly and their fangs were deeply embedded in his flesh.
The madness just now had already made him lose his sense of pain. Just like that, he tore off a few large pieces of his own flesh. He watched helplessly as the huge snake formed by the scepter in his hand was still tearing at his body.
“Ah!”
Er Lang howled at the sky. His miserable scream seemed to cut through the entire s.p.a.ce, tearing a crack in his body. A gray wolf crawled out.
The gray wolf was covered in blood and erupted a b.l.o.o.d.y fog that filled the sky. It shattered the four snakes wrapped around its body and there was no possibility of saving it.
The scepter shattered into pieces and lay quietly on the ground. Blood was still dripping from Gray Wolf’s body. He looked coldly at Li Yuanqing below. It was all this guy’s fault. If not for this guy, nothing would have happened.
Gray Wolf did not know when he had fallen into the trap, but none of that mattered. What mattered was that he had to kill this b.a.s.t.a.r.d in front of him. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d had to die.
Gray Wolf let out a miserable wail.
However, there was already a pitch-black square platform floating above his head. Just now, he had thought that the sky was dark, but when he saw it clearly, he realized how disadvantaged he was.
Gray Wolf turned around and wanted to escape, but the devil crystal platform would not give him any chance to escape.
There were already countless threads in the devil crystal platform that firmly wrapped around his body.
The big gray wolf was still wailing, but such wails were useless in his current situation. His strength seemed so insignificant in front of this human.
He did not know why this had happened, and he did not know why there was such a powerful human. Everything seemed to be in chaos, completely different from the situation he was familiar with.
“Human, you will regret it!”
Li Yuanqing had never cared if he regretted it.
“Didn’t you want to find White Bear? I brought you here. You’ll see White Bear soon.”
“Human!”
Gray Wolf glared at Li Yuanqing. He suddenly realized what Li Yuanqing meant. Could it be that White Name had already fallen into his hands? Otherwise, White Name would definitely send a message back.
Then…
He did not have time to think anymore. His entire body was sucked into the devil crystal platform. The devil crystal platform spun in the air very docilely and turned into the size of a palm before landing in Li Yuanqing’s palm.
Li Yuanqing accepted the devil crystal platform in satisfaction. The movements of the three brothers were under his control. It had to be said that the seeds of the Blood Vine were really useful. He did not have to worry about them playing any tricks.
Li Yuanqing had learned of these people’s plans through the seeds of the Blood Vine. He knew that they planned to split up into three groups and come to Sea City to search for information. One of them had run to the fortress to destroy it, and the other was guarding their base. They should be deploying some battle plans at the back. These three people were clearly divided.
However, their first step was already ruined.
As for the second step.
A shadow slowly pa.s.sed over the wall of the fortress. When it brushed past a few soldiers who were resting, these soldiers looked up strangely, but there was nothing in the sky.
“It’s really strange. I think I saw something pa.s.s here just now?”
His brother beside him glared at him and warned, “Don’t speak nonsense. Nothing will happen today. Have you forgotten the orders from above?”
“Yes, yes, yes. There won’t be anything today. Look, my mind is confused. I didn’t forget, but I can’t remember clearly just now.”
“Hurry up and rest. Today is a rare good time to rest. We have a full day and night to rest. We were exhausted a while ago. Hurry up and use everything you have during this period of time. Don’t drag us down again.”
“You’re right, Captain.”
This small team of people was guarding this small sentry post. However, they were not guarding here. Instead, they were all gathered together and started cultivating. Didn’t they need to guard? Why were they so relaxed?
The third brother looked at the backs of these people in confusion. He had been hiding in the dark and eavesdropping for a while, but he realized that there was no useful news at all. He had no idea what these guys were doing here. The entire place was filled with a leisurely atmosphere, as if their work for today was completed and they were going to take a break here.
The third brother thought, “That’s a good thing. The array formation here has just been completed. It won’t be easy for them to build this place after destroying it.”
With this thought in mind, he became energetic again. He might have had some doubts just now, but now that he had found his target, he could be said to know the situation very well.
The entire fortress was made of a huge half-moon wall. Three of the walls faced north. To the south was an expanded opening. Here, surrounded in the center, was the camp they had established.
The wall was very thick because there was still plenty of living s.p.a.ce in the wall. If they wanted to defend inside, the wall was enough for them to live for a month. It was definitely enough to face ordinary attacks.
However, the enemy they were facing was unimaginably powerful. This enemy could sneak to their side without getting caught by their array formation.
The third brother gently walked behind the guard and took off the string of jade hanging on his waist.
This was the key to the core array formation. As long as he opened that door, he would be able to reach the core array formation.
The reason why he did not forcefully break open the door and rush in was because although these humans were not strong, they had many warning systems. If he directly barged in, he would alert them. This was a troublesome matter.
After the third brother successfully stole this thing, he walked proudly to the door. That fellow was carefully cultivating just now. He opened the door without anyone knowing and turned into a wisp of smoke that slipped in through the crack.
No one in the entire fortress even realized that the third brother had already sneaked into the room that they were using as the core.
