Chapter 1163: Lin Yuan and Liu Jie Tied Up

Liu Jie was silent for a moment before he said, Ill have the Hurricane Owlet Moths watch these five people for a while. I might be able to discover what theyre up to.

Lin Yuan nodded and continued studying the map that Liu Jie had sketched instead of suggesting to explore the bazaar.

Less than ten minutes later, Liu Jies expression turned grim as he said, Lin Yuan, there really is something off about these five people. Theyre completely ignoring the spiritual ingredients on the ground and are solely concentrated on rus.h.i.+ng along. However, they are paying close attention to their surroundings. This indicates theyre not familiar with their surroundings. I think that theyre an advance team.

Advance team? This meant that there would be more people to follow.

This group had to be made up of many members if they could spare five people as their advance team.

Lin Yuan did not expect to find himself in such a situation the moment he arrived at the Divine Wood Federation.

Big Brother Liu, leave one Hurricane Owlet Moth to continue watching them and send the other Hurricane Owlet Moths out to scout the area. If these people are the advance team, the bulk of their comrades shouldnt be far behind. If there really is a large group of people close behind, we should capture the five of them first and ransom them to the rest of the group. Hehe, the most influential person in the group will be able to provide us with the most useful information.

Liu Jie immediately did as Lin Yuan said.

While Liu Jie worked, Lin Yuan did not stay idle either.

Lin Yuan instructed the Source Sand to turn into a pool of quicksand the size of a thumb and then continue expanding outward.

The more sand was created, the stronger the Source Sand became.

Lin Yuan would also benefit from having more sand around.

Liu Jies eyes lit up half an hour later, and he said, There are 300 adventurers 140 kilometers to the east. Theyre all wearing armor made of vines. Their armor resembles the ones worn by the five adventurers. Apparently, the vine armor is a kind of standard accessory. Theres also an enormous elephant in the midst of the 300 adventurers, and theres a rider atop the elephant.

The adventurers are extremely respectful toward this rider. It seems that hes a significant person. The five adventurers we first saw are rus.h.i.+ng in our direction. Since the five people dont seem to have any intention of stopping at the town, I shall bring them over now.

Lin Yuan thought, The team should be rather weak. Otherwise, they would have noticed Liu Jies Hurricane Owlet Moths.

Lin Yuan was momentarily stunned but smiled shortly after.

He had come across many king-cla.s.s and emperor-cla.s.s experts and had become accustomed to having high standards.

This place was not even one of Divine Wood Federations big cities. How could there be powerful spirit qi professionals here?

The Hurricane Owlet Moths soon solidified wind elements and set the five terrified adventurers down a kilometer away from Lin Yuan and Liu Jie before flying off.

One of the five captives that had a scar on his face wiped away his saliva that had dripped to his forehead after being carried upside down.

He stood up and said with a hint of fear, What the h.e.l.l? This is so strange! Why is there such a strong insect-species fey in a small place like this? Where are we? I hope we arent held back while on the mission that Miss Luo Ya sent us on!

Another skinny man composed himself and said, We were flying for at least 20 minutes. I tried to keep track of my surroundings, but I eventually started seeing double. a.s.suming that stupid insect flew in a straight line, we have to be at least 50 kilometers off-route.

He slapped the necks of his three companions that were still in a daze.

The skinny man said to a chubby young man, Fatty, call and report this situation! Were going back immediately. I think Miss Luo Ya will understand that our mission was hindered because of the high-grade insect-type fey.

By the time the skinny man got to the end of his speech, his voice seemed to deflate.

The fat mans teeth chattered as he replied, Brother Snake, do I have to be the one to call? I get tongue-tied so easily. What if I accidentally say something that angers Miss Luo Ya?

The skinny man thought, Even if you were born with a honeyed tongue, its not like Miss Luo Ya wouldnt be angry!

He kicked the fat man, who picked up his phone and dialed a number with trembling hands.

After the call, all five people had faces that were as pale as sheets.

The scarred man could not help but say, Were done for. Well definitely be caned when we return!

Suddenly, his face lit up. The reason behind his change in countenance was that he had noticed Lin Yuan and Liu Jie walking toward them.

His face stretched into a sinister smile, and he said to the skinny man, Uncle Snake, we were sent to go on ahead to find the merchants from the Great Lush Federation. Those two people up ahead look like they could be merchants from the Great Lush Federation.

The skinny man fixed his eyes on Lin Yuan and Liu Jie and said, Lets capture these two. Not only will they save us from punishment, but we might even be rewarded instead! They have decent looks. Miss Luo Ya will definitely be able to have fun with them!

He summoned a five-meter-long snake fey and directed it toward Lin Yuan and Liu Jie.

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the snake fey and found that it was the Bronze IX/Normal Chain Snake.

Its ability was Chain Wrap, and it could be used to trap a target. Its exclusive skill was Elongate Body, which could extend the Chain Snakes bones while restraining multiple targets simultaneously.

Liu Jie immediately readied himself to retaliate.

Just as Liu Jie was about to circulate his spiritual energy and summon his fey, he caught sight of Lin Yuan winking at him.

As such, Liu Jie did not summon the Insect Queen.

The Chain Snake was already closing in and used Chain Wrap on Lin Yuan and Liu Jie.
