GOR Chapter 671 I Have Seen It
After landing, Lei Hu saw that Chen Xiaolian and the others had not run off. Instead, they stood side by side on a small dune. There were only less than 100 metres between them and the outermost woody vines.
They… … did not run away?
They probably knew they won’t be able to get away. So, they gave up.
There was a very unsightly look on Lei Hu’s face.
Although there were more than ten Irregularity corpses to serve as nourishment for his skill earlier, the range that the vines needed to cover had still been too much.
Every blooming flower, every scattered seed, all of them would sap away the strength from his own body, bit by bit.
Thankfully, the rate at which Chen Xiaolian’s group ran did not go beyond his estimate. If the vines had needed another five more minutes to find them, he would have been unable to hold on.
“You have greatly disappointed me, Chen Xiaolian.” Lei Hu’s gaze swept across Bluesea and Qiao Qiao. “I had said before, if I can gain benefits through negotiations, then I would do my best to not resort to violence. However, it would appear that you are not the type to negotiate. It seems I can only choose to kill your companions.”
Lei Hu had spoken with a gentle tone. However, killing intent had revealed themselves within his eyes.
“You finally reveal your true body.” Chen Xiaolian regarded Lei Hu from top to bottom before letting out a snicker. “I say, why do you look like Yoda?”
“Yoda?” Lei Hu knitted his brows. “What are you talking about?”
“Forget it.” Chen Xiaolian waved his hand and revealed an indifferent smile. “He is also a green-skinned shorty with sharp ears. However, an old guy like you, you must have been dead for over at least 800 years. You definitely won’t know about Star Wars. Just forget I said that.”
Lei Hu furrowed his brows slightly but chose not to respond.
This was unexpected. Lei Hu had come here personally but Chen Xiaolian appeared nonchalant.
Could he have… … another trump card in his hands?
“Qiao Qiao, the one you encountered before, is it also this green-skinned shorty?” Chen Xiaolian extended his hand to point at Lei Hu, who was standing some distance away, and asked Qiao Qiao.
“No.” Qiao Qiao shook her head. “He was taller than him, and his skin is not this green. I think… … that was also one of the puppet bodies in his control.”
Chen Xiaolian laughed out. “I knew it. Looks like this fellow has a really low self-esteem. He knows that he is ugly so he doesn’t have the courage to reveal himself most of the time. Am I right, Master Yoda?”
A murderous glint flashed across Lei Hu’s eyes. However, it was only a fleeting glint and he quickly suppressed it.
He absolutely must not grow furious.
He had already forgotten how long it had been since the last Irregularity, who dared mock him, had died. Yet, Lei Hu dared not kill Chen Xiaolian.
After so many years since his death, his wait for a chance to return had finally come. He must not end up losing it due to an impulsive desire.
“Don’t worry, Chen Xiaolian.” Lei Hu took a deep breath as he struggled to maintain the final trace of a dignified expression on his face. He squeezed out a smile and said, “I assure you, you will live. As for your companions… … they will die miserable deaths.”
Despite all his efforts to maintain a dignified look, gnashing sounds could be heard coming from Lei Hu’s teeth. Chen Xiaolian’s group were able to pick up the sounds.
“I don’t know how effective your assurance is.” Chen Xiaolian shook his head and smiled. “Why don’t you look at this?”
Both his hands, which had been placed behind his back, now moved to the front.
A dark black disc rested between his palms.
“Do you recognize this item, Mr Lei Hu?”
…
“Are you sure this will work, Xiaolian?”
Ten minutes prior…
Qiao Qiao’s eyes were wide open as she stared at Chen Xiaolian.
Bluesea, on the other hand, had his eyes closed as he pondered the matter.
“I cannot be certain.” Chen Xiaolian shook his head, a wry smile on his face as he looked at the black disc in his hand. “However, this is the only method we have. Assuming that the chance of success for this plan is one per cent, then the other methods, be it fighting him or running, the chance of success will be forever zero. Since that is the case, we can only try this.”
