Free Web NovelSomeone cursed hatefully, feeling as if even the air was sour.
It was truly hard not to feel sour.
The Sticky Gelatin, combined with the equally rare and precious Gravity Spider Silk that couldn't be bought even with star coins, was actually used to set traps to ensnare them.
Were they really worth that much?
Tie Mian and the others couldn't help but doubt themselves.
"..."
"Something's not right!"
Du Zhu, who had always been hidden in the shadows, almost never revealing his body in front of others, was also forced to expose himself due to the Sticky Gelatin and Gravity Spider Silk.
His figure was hunched like a cooked shrimp, and his build was exceptionally thin and short.
He was actually a hunchbacked dwarf!
And on his forehead, there was a tapeworm as thick as an adult's thumb, with its skin covered in fine, dark purple scales, and its head shaped like a triangular cone.
A Shadow ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ Line Worm!
This was the main reason he could remain continuously hidden. The Shadow Line Worm itself was a dual-system Transcendent creature, both insect and ghost. When its proboscis pierced into a Beast Tamer's brain, as long as the Beast Tamer was willing, he could directly communicate with its spiritual sea, thereby allowing the Beast Tamer to possess all of the Shadow Line Worm's characteristics and skills.
It was as if the Beast Tamer himself had become a Shadow Line Worm.
Du Zhu narrowed his long, cold eyes, hunched his back, and shot a black light from his fingernail, hooking a strand of white silk from the ground. "Lin Chen and those three absolutely don't have the ability to pull off such a continuous killing spree!"
His crimson pupils contracted to pinpricks. Through the gradually thinning smoke and Poison Mist, he seemed to see an unknown and powerful enemy.
"I say, second brother, isn't your reaction a bit too slow? With this reaction speed, you're still a strategist and advisor! I really suspect your brain has been gnawed clean by your Shadow Line Worm."
Eagle Eye sneered irritably, her words as venomous as arsenic.
She rolled her eyes and sneered, "At this point, who can't tell that Lin Chen and those three good-for-nothings have found a formidable helper!"
"Eagle Eye! No one will think you're mute if you don't speak!"
Instead of successfully pursuing, they were ambushed. They hadn't even touched a single hair of the enemy, yet their group had already suffered heavy losses. Tie Mian's mood at this moment was imaginable.
Tie Mian's deterrence was still effective; Eagle Eye instantly fell silent.
Tie Mian took a deep breath, looking at the ground gradually falling as it wrapped around his body. He steadied his mind and calmly ordered his pets to cooperate in cutting and attacking, accelerating their escape as much as possible.
In their current situation, they could only wait.
His brows were filled with ferocity, and the killing intent in his pupils was almost tangible. "Second brother, who do you think is helping them?"
Du Zhu pondered for a long time.
"Potions, items, materials, and a large number of high-level mechanical beasts. Possessing such financial resources, and also being able to design such a series of interconnected traps that are both crude and meticulous, calculating all our reactions, plus helping the Blue Star people deal with us – for such a person in this Wanmo Territory, I can only think of the Treasure Analysis Group."
Hearing this, Tie Mian's expression became even more sinister. "You mean Jade Leaf Latitude? That's absolutely impossible!"
As Du Zhu looked at him with a puzzled gaze, he continued with a very certain tone, "Jade Leaf Latitude left Wanmo Territory with his team a few months ago."
Du Zhu was stunned for a moment.
"Are you sure?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Tie Mian nodded, "This information came through a special channel; it's absolutely impossible for it to be wrong."
The others all knew what he meant by "special channel."
Naturally, they no longer doubted the accuracy of his information.
"If it's not the Treasure Analysis Group, then who is helping those three scoundrels against us? You all saw the things they used just now; even the three guardians probably aren't that extravagant."
It was precisely because the opponent's methods were too extravagant that they, despite their strength, were so passive.
Those traps were simply impossible to guard against.
Du Zhu wasn't incapable of conceiving such a series of traps, but without the equivalent conditions, even a hundred of him couldn't do it.
He roughly estimated that the resources consumed in those traps just now, if converted into star coins, would definitely exceed 5 billion!
This wasn't a battle; it was burning money!
That's why he thought of the wealthy Treasure Analysis Group.
Someone guessed, "Could it be a Beast Tamer or team that recently entered Wanmo Territory?"
Tie Mian narrowed his eyes. "Then that would be a big fish!"
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Tie Mian's voice fell, an ice arrow, as fast as lightning, broke through the air.
The few of them were all ruthless individuals who had been tempered repeatedly in life-and-death situations, so even when faced with such an unfavorable situation, they did not lose their basic composure.
Upon realizing they were deeply mired, their body's alarm system had been on, ready to face battle at any moment.
So when that swift ice arrow shot towards them, everyone and their pets reacted.
"It's Ice Sniper!"
"Wen Yi!"
That's right, the target of this ice arrow was the healer in the team!
"Steel Armor Shield."
Xue Fu's Steel-Toothed Dazzling Pig immediately released a defensive skill, wanting to block this arrow for Wen Yi.
The Steel-Toothed Dazzling Pig was an Emperor-level pet, the strongest in the team in terms of defense. Its proficiency in Steel Armor Shield had even reached perfection!
This skill had never failed against an opponent weaker than it.
"Crack!"
The moment the ice arrow hit the Steel Armor Shield, cracks appeared in the shield.
It actually... instantly broke through the defense!
Xue Fu's eyes bulged in shock, directly doubting his life: "How is this possible!"
"Whoosh!"
As everyone was stunned, a second ice arrow, at some unknown moment, pursued the tail of the first ice arrow, like a rocket's booster.
The first ice arrow suddenly broke through the Steel Armor Shield and, in the disbelieving gazes of the few, pierced into Wen Yi's left chest, into his heart!
Extreme cold spread from the heart through the arrow.
In the blink of an eye, Wen Yi, who was beautiful beyond a man's appearance, became an exquisite ice sculpture.
He met his end in a manner befitting his beautiful appearance.
"Wen Yi!"
"No!!!!!"
Seeing this scene, the men and women in the team who had a very good relationship with Wen Yi completely broke down!
For a moment, the roaring horses galloped.
Their charm was quite extraordinary.
Their chrysanthemums were probably ailing.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
They broke down, but the person lurking in the dark did not.
Black-green vines rapidly broke through the ground, wrapping around Tie Mian and the others and their pets, tying them up like zongzi, while sharp barbs simultaneously pierced into their skin.
Terrifying black lightning storms descended from the sky.
"Dragon Star Break."
"Earth-shattering."
"Song Enchantment Annihilation."
"Nut Bomb."
"Muting Slash."
"..."
Countless skills rained down like a storm. Tie Mian and the others wanted to resist.
But on one hand, due to the terrifying explosion just now, all of them and their pets were more or less injured, and many items and potions had been used;
On the other hand, they were still constrained by the double encirclement of Sticky Gelatin and Gravity Spider Silk, making movement difficult, and some skills were still on cooldown.
