Chapter 597 - Insidious Trap (1/2)
“Looks like someone’s foiled our plans. The situation hadn’t gone as expected, and there’s quite a number of people!”
“So what, who cares if there are more people? They’re all just lambs for slaughter!”
“The beast lure has been set, ready cannons!”
“At once!”
“Wait for them to trickle out a bit more, lest the Blight b.u.t.terflies don’t get scattered so easily. We might have to wait for a few days before we can go in and collect the spoils!”
“Haha, yeah but they’ve got a B-tier. We’re gonna be rich!”
“I’ve checked this Quong Po person out already, if he rushes out he’s not going to be a problem for me!”
“Yeah, Diran you’re basically a king-rank and more importantly, Quong Po’s power just so happens to be conquered by yours!”
“A perfect plan!”
While these people waited for Quong Po to return, Qin Feng and his people naturally headed deeper.
“Dark Shroud!”
As his consciousness was mobilized, a patch of darkness suddenly appeared around them and covered up the three people. Their surroundings became hazy but the perception of the Blight b.u.t.terflies were greatly reduced.
“You’re also an ability user!” Yuan Xiaoguang was slightly caught off guard!
Qin Feng’s previous fearsome display was eye-catching, Yuan Xiaoguang would have never imagined that Qin Feng did not just use ancient martial arts. When the ability appeared and the Blight b.u.t.terflies were deterred, he knew that it was far stronger than the ones casted by other dark ability users.
Qin Feng said, “Always keep aces up your sleeve. Come on, we should hurry. Something’s not right, I’m worried that Master Quong might be in trouble!”
Yuan Xiaoguang chuckled nervously, “If Master Quong is in danger, then I doubt we can do much!”
Qin Feng did not seem to care but he did not refute Yuan Xiaoguang’s words either and continued to press onward.
After reaching C-tier, their speed would improve as well. Yuan Xiaoguang’s consciousness was strong and he managed to keep up with Qin Feng, who was moving forward with Dragon Steps.
“There’s one here!”
“Over here too!”
“It’s already too deep here, my heart’s starting to pound. I feel like something bad is about to happen!”
They moved quickly and in less than ten minutes, they found two pieces of a combat uniform. However, they found no traces of Quong Po’s daughter.
By now even though they knew it was a trap, they had to see it through till the end!
“There’s another one here!” Yuan Xiaoguang’s consciousness detected another piece of the combat uniform. It was hanging from a bundle of th.o.r.n.y vines. Yuan Xiaoguang pulled in a vine from a distance with his consciousness to pluck the piece of cloth away.
“Wait!” Qin Feng’s expression s.h.i.+fted as he tried to stop Yuan Xiaoguang.
It was too late, his consciousness moved too quickly and the controlled vine had already taken the cloth.
On the cloth, an invisible thread snapped as it was plucked off. Suddenly, something hidden ten meters away from them quickly burst.
Bang!
The power of this explosion was not that great, it was only about three meters in diameter but there was no trace of fire in this explosion. The only thing that indicated its blast zone was a dusting of white powder.
“What’s that?”
Yuan Xiaoguang was shocked!
“Beast lure powder!”
Qin Feng immediately blurted out the name. This was a trick used by the Dark Coalition. He had encountered this before his rebirth, and this was the first time he was actually caught in one.
Yuan Xiaoguang’s face was drained of color.
It was unclear how strong this powder was, but he knew that he had made a dire mistake and this was the kind of mistake that could lead to his death!
“Run, we need to run!” Yuan Xiaoguang said.
Qin Feng grabbed the other’s shoulder and said in a hushed voice, “Calm down, I’m a dark ability user. What are you afraid of?”
Qin Feng used comforting words. It was not very effective.
The powder was carried through the wind and very quickly the entirety of the thirteenth region felt like it was being shaken up by people.
At this moment, from a valley thousands of meters away, in an area packed with all kinds of what looked like ma.s.sive silkworm chrysalis, burst out a swarm of Blight b.u.t.terflies.
These b.u.t.terflies were a sight to behold with their magnificent, fluorescent colors that seemed to make them glow.
However, their numbers were constantly increasing.
