Chapter 1062: Infinite Traps (1)

“As long as they’re alive, they won’t escape our grasp!”

“That’s right! That eight extremes nether blood lotus must belong to us!”

At this moment, Du Zhu spoke again, “Boss, a marker has been triggered, coordinates 329.402.”

Tie Mian’s tower-like body stood up, his combat boots crushing withered branches, and decaying leaves curling into charred edges under the high temperature.

“Go! Let’s go catch our prey!”

His voice was rough like a broken bell, and the three-meter-tall Rending Armor Tank behind him, which had shrunk in size, resembled a moving castle. Wherever it passed, not only did the ground collapse, but even the plants instantly steamed with white smoke.

The entire dense forest seemed to be covered by a distorted filter.

With the help of their pets, this group of people arrived at the target location very quickly.

“Second Brother, is the marker still there?”

Night Owl used a dagger to push aside drooping branches, cautiously looking around.

“It’s gone, it only appeared for a very short time before disappearing. It must have been sent back to the Pet Space immediately, but even if they escaped, they shouldn’t be too far away.”

Du Zhu’s voice was sometimes near, sometimes far, making it impossible to pinpoint his exact location.

He continued, “But I feel it’s a bit strange, too smooth.”

Those three wouldn’t be unaware that their pets were marked. At a time like this, releasing them either means they’re desperate with no other options, or they’re trying to use a trick against them.

“Everyone be careful. Night Owl, send out your Moon Shadow Owl to quickly scout the surroundings and determine the location of those three!”

“Everyone else, stand by!”

The Moon Shadow Owl immediately accepted the order and flew out.

“Du Zhu, are you suspecting they did it on purpose, that there’s a trap?” Tie Mian frowned.

“That possibility cannot be ruled out.”

The female Beast Tamers in the team, code-named Eagle Eye, scoffed, “Du Zhu, aren’t you being overly worried?

They’re just three crippled soldiers and weak generals.

Their resources were already depleted in the previous encounters and chases with us, and they probably can’t even pull out a decent A-grade item or potion.

Aside from that eight extremes nether blood lotus, they’re poorer than beggars on the street!

Plus, with this morning’s Full Moon Riot, it’s hard for them to even protect themselves, so how could they possibly have the ability to set a trap to harm us?”

Xue Fu, the brute in the team, also chimed in, “I think Eagle Eye makes a lot of sense. Those three really seemed to be at their wit’s end before.

Second Brother, could that marker have appeared because someone ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) among them was severely injured and had no choice but to summon that Bright Angel for healing?”

The others cybernetically ‘looked’ in the direction where Du Zhu might be.

“Second Brother, can you confirm what kind of pet the marker appeared for?”

Although questioned, Du Zhu’s temper seemed to be quite good, and he wasn’t angered by it. He calmly replied, “It was indeed a Bright Angel.”

Upon hearing this.

“Xue Fu, you idiot, you actually had a moment of clear thought!” Night Owl exclaimed.

“Who are you calling an idiot?!”

“Whoever’s getting angry, that’s who, idiot!”

“Bone Blade, trash this guy for me!”

“Who’s afraid of who! Lizard King, go trample that stinky mantis!”

Seeing the two about to fight at the drop of a hat, Tie Mian impatiently roared, “Shut up! Quiet!”

The two and their pets immediately became as quiet as chickens.

“Rustle rustle rustle...”

The Thorn Widow, hidden in the shadows, suddenly crawled out, shaking off a body full of poisonous powder. Several passing glowing beetles, upon touching the powder, immediately foamed at the mouth, convulsed, and fell to the ground.

They were all dead beyond dead!

Seeing this scene, Eagle Eye and others who still questioned Du Zhu’s judgment were like, “...”

Almost forgot, Du Zhu seemed gentle, but he was actually extremely meticulous and held grudges. If they weren’t his companions, they would have died like these glowing beetles long ago.

At an altitude of three hundred meters, the scout Night Owl’s Moon Shadow Owl was circling.

Through the S-grade thermal imaging lenses on its bird eyes, three orange-red figures were stumbling and fleeing in a depression to the northeast.

It transmitted the captured images to its Beast Tamers.

Night Owl’s terminal received the message immediately.

“They are in the three o’clock direction, about four kilometers from here. Their condition shows no abnormalities.”

Night Owl played the footage transmitted by the Moon Shadow Owl.

The camera zoomed in, and three figures were struggling to climb up through the steep and treacherous mountain ridge crevice.

“Their injuries have indeed healed. It seems summoning the Bright Angel just now was indeed for healing. They probably want to make a desperate gamble for a way out, escaping by passing through this Yin Eye Mountain Ridge Crevice.”

Du Zhu frowned, had he really thought too much?

He looked at the three figures on the screen frantically scrambling into the narrow mountain crevice. Their displayed urgency and tension didn’t seem fake.

So there really was no trap?

“Let’s go again!”

The group quickened their pace.

Behind the Yin Eye Mountain Ridge Crevice was a random teleportation array. If Lin Chen and the other two got through and found it, then that precious eight extremes nether blood lotus would be completely out of their reach.

Du Zhu was very cautious, not only having Night Owl’s Moon Shadow Owl continuously stake out Lin Chen and the other two, but also sending out Thunderclap’s self-destructing spider swarm to patrol near them.

When they approached within a thousand meters of the Yin Eye Mountain Crevice, everything was normal.

They also saw Lin Chen and the other two vigorously climbing into the mountain ridge crevice.

“What should we do? Why don’t I just have my Mechanical Tyrannosaurus give them a shot and blast them to smithereens!”

Thunderclap said, and his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus beside him had already set up its electromagnetic cannon. This five-ton steel behemoth lifted its foot, ready to attack at any moment.

No one noticed that its foot crushed the Rainbow Bubble hidden beneath the decaying leaves.

“Pop pop pop—”

The faint sounds of the bubbles bursting were covered by the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus’s footsteps.

As the nine people were about to delve deeper, the video feed transmitted by the Moon Shadow Owl suddenly became static.

“Something’s wrong!”

Just as Night Owl shouted this, the surrounding air seemed to ignite.

“Boom—”

Flames ignited without wind, and black-red dense fog mixed with explosive flames erupted. The dense forest instantly turned into a boiling hotpot!

“Damn it! There really was a trap!”

Someone roared, though it was unclear who.

“Rain!”

“Water wave.”

A Water Elemental Rain Treasure and a Washing Feast Glaze instantly released their skills.

Splash.

Rain fell, and water waves surged, quickly covering the surrounding flames, but the flames continued to burn fiercely in the water.

“It’s waterproof?! What kind of flames are these?!”

Du Zhu’s intelligence was online. “It should be a mutated product of a sub-profession. It looks like flames, but in reality, it should be a kind of non-elemental free energy, and its level is very high.”

“Quick! Use defensive skills!”

Upon hearing the command, all the pets began to release defensive skills, each displaying their prowess, making the space they occupied impenetrable.

They blocked the furiously burning flames on the outside.
