288 Chapter 288 “Hidden Danger“
What should she do?!
"Miss, let's just kill them. If we don't kill them we will get into an even bigger trouble" Chen looked at Li Shi Ying's troubled face as he prepared himself to insta-kill all the people in that place.
"Wait don't. I don't want to show our groups true ability. Let's stay low-key alright. Let me attack them with some normal attacks as we slowly run away from here. I have a plan, trust me" Li Shi Ying shook her head when she heard Chen's suggestion.
Indeed that would be easier but she didn't want to offend too many big shots when she had just arrived in this country.
What if something like the previous event where almost all the clans in the capital city of Dragon Country came chasing after her happened again?
She would then die from exhaustion. Also...she didn't want Chen to revert into the previous version of himself, a cold-blooded killing machine just like an asura.
She preferred this kind of Chen more than his previous self even though she actually didn't quite mind it if someday Chen were to revert back to his previous character.
"....hhh...it's so hard trying to convince miss to kill someone huh..." Chen sighed and patted Li Shi Yings head with his right hand but he did keep to himself to not do anything as ordered by Li Shi Ying.
BOOM! BOOM!
CRAKK...CRAKK...
Li Shi Ying looked at the continuous attacks that were striking against her barrier. The barrier had already sustained cracks everywhere...it might even break in another minute.
She had to hurry with her preparations.
Li Shi Ying immediately took out an 'Earth Thorn' talisman and threw it to the ground below the feet of the men led by Huo Zhuangli.
The men led by Huo Zhuangli were confused when they saw a tiny piece of paper with Gods language on it.
What the hell? What could a small paper do to them? How ridiculous!
The men on Huo Zhuanglis side had just mocked Li Shi Ying and her group for throwing only a piece of meaningless paper at them when in the next second.....
SHUAA SHUAA SHUAAA
DRKKKK....
From below their feet, thousands of colorful thorns made by colorful soil appeared and caught them unguarded.
!!!
Thousand thorns!
The men on Huo Zhuanglis side all panicked at the sudden unexpected ambush and thought they were going to die the moment the thorn stabbed through them but after waiting for a few seconds...they found out that they were yet to embrace their ancestors.
Huh? They were still alive?
Some of the braver men opened their eyes to look at the thorns surrounding them and suddenly were astonished by the sight of it.
The thorns indeed didn't kill anyone but strangely...it grew in a specific way making them feel trapped inside it.
The thorns formed into something like a caged thorn made from soil. They weren't stabbed by it but if they moved their body even for a small movement...they would definitely be stabbed by it.
But even though the humans weren't affected, the spiritual beasts all died when the thorn appeared and stabbed them from below.
The spiritual beasts died not from the sharp thorn itself, but rather...from the poison contained within the soil.
So, if the men get even slightly scratched by the thorns made from the poisonous soil, they would get poisoned within the next second and would immediately die on the spot.
T-this...how terrifying! H-How could a small piece of paper could cause this much damage to their semi-large group?
Huo Zhuangli was actually the one who was the most surprised in the group. He was the heir of Pure Jade Sect so he knew the existence of the three types of translators.
He himself never met the second type which is the writer type but he knew how their power worked.
T-that young girl....is a writer type translator? Then he had to get her alive.
Huo Zhuangli was about to command his men to break the soil thorn when he saw...Li Shi Ying and her group had already vanished, running away into the forest.
!!!
"Catch them, quick! Especially that girl, I want her alive and unharmed" This sudden command from Huo Zhuangli startled Huo Baili and the rest of the group.
They did want to ask what the hell happened but they saw Huo Zhuangli had already marched on his horse together with Huo Baili with him in tow, leaving behind the people who were trapped by the soil thorns. He only brought along the remaining unharmed men with him.
At Li Shi Yings place.
"Miss that thorn wouldn't last long right?" Chen asked Li Shi Ying as he marched with camouflage horse, running away from Huo Zhuanglis place.
"It can hold on for 5 minutes so we should have enough time to escape but look! That stubborn young man has chased behind us again and also bringing along his unharmed men."
Li Shi Ying glanced at the figure of Huo Zhuangli chasing her group from quite afar with a sly smirk on her face.
Heh. Do you think that soil thorn is only to reduce the number of your people? If you think so...then you are wrong!
When Li Shi Ying was preparing her next move, Jiu Wei suddenly turned silent. Just now he saw a faint colorful mist quietly rise around them and he suddenly had a bad feeling welling up within him.
This mist shouldn't be poisonous but why does he keep getting a bad feeling?
What is this weird feeling he felt? S-something...something bad is going to happen but he didn't know what.
