Chapter 386 - Stalking the Mantis (Part-3) (1/2)

Everyone suddenly felt a group of erratic KI moving fast towards their location, Ryuu's eyes widen slightly as the KI was all too familiar as he grimaced, 'Damn they will be here.', he shared a knowing look with Frozen Ocean as they slowly began to move deeper into their base but not before they started to drag other members of their team with them.

Zywia frowned as she spoke, ”Brother Ryuu what happened?”

Ryuu looked at her as he spoke, ”We set up a prank on our eavesdropper and I swear when they will arrive you would not want to be within a hundred miles of them without some protection.”

Every member of his team had a grim look on their face as Frozen Ocean nodded sagely in agreement with Ryuu as she spoke, ”Yes what brother Ryuu said is absolutely correct we have to prepare proper protection if you do not wish to driven mad and commit suicide.”

At that the listener's eyes widen as they hurried quickly after Ryuu and Frozen Ocean, True-Spear was nearby saw them acting strangely as such he and Frost Flames followed after them as they caught up to them True-Spear could not help but ask Zywia, ”Is there something wrong?”

Zywia looked at him as she smiled sending butterflies in his stomach as she spoke, ”Oh nothing a few people amongst us were spying on us trying to eavesdrop on us many a times and Ryuu not only caught them but prank them as well.”

Frost Flames gained a look of alarm on her face as she spoke, ”Surely not.”

Zywia gave her a small nod as she spoke, ”Unfortunately it is the truth.”

True-Spear frowned hard at that as he spoke, ”That is despicable no person without nefarious intentions would do so.”

As they spoke amongst themselves Ryuu's eyes twitched as he had the sudden urge to drown Zywia in the blood of the 'Imperial Skunk', his anger further increased as he felt Daniella and Amnon nodding in agreement with her, 'Have they never learned the idea of subtlety what in the Heaven's name is wrong with them.', he looked to his side and had the urge to facepalm seeing Su-Min agreeing as well only Frozen Ocean looking at their other teammates with annoyance.

As they moved to a more secluded region they stopped as Ryuu handed everyone a talisman as he spoke, ”Stick them to your body and do not let someone take it off or you will really die.”

As they took the talisman a bit skeptical a shout came to their ears, ”OH HEAVENS WHAT IS THIS SMELL SOMEONE DO SOMETHING.”

A flash of light came from both Ryuu and Frozen Flames as Ryuu looked at them with a raised eyebrow as he spoke, ”Are you waiting for an invitation?”

They quickly followed Ryuu and Frozen Ocean's actions before they hastily followed after them, as they neared the outer edges of their base their eyes were wide open as they saw a few of the cultivators emptying the contents of their stomach as they looked rather sick but what came next did not prepare them in the slightest, the entrance was practically empty except a few cultivators who seemed to be writhing on the floor in their own vomit and the environment around the base seemed to have died out as well.

Ryuu and True-Spear both fell on their knees as they looked towards a certain direction, tears seemed to have acc.u.mulated in their eyes as True-Spear spoke in a hollow tone, ”My precious my beloved is gone”

Ryuu seemed to hiccup as he spoke, ”No it cannot be true please tell me it is a lie.”, the broken look on their faces shocked the others as they both stood up like zombie.

Ryuu looked at True-Spear with dull eyes as he spoke in a hollow tone, ”Our precious and beloved tea plant is dead and gone.”

True-Spear replied in the same monotone, ”And it is those bastards fall.”
