Chapter 422 348

Chapter 422: 348 Chapter 422: 348 Tang Jiao nodded in agreement: “Alright, let’s split into the four corners of northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast.”

Su Yuan and Xiong Chunyang had no objections either.

The four of them immediately spread out, positioning themselves at the four corners around the three Solid Rock Dragons, with Su Yuan flying to the southeast corner.

Su Yuan activated the All-Knowing Vision. Although the mist was thick, he could see everything clearly in his field of vision.

The team advanced step by step, quickly vanishing into the mist.

Not only did their figures disappear into the mist, but even their sounds became faint, as if being blocked. This was a trait of the Water Light mist.

Time passed slowly.

As the team moved forward, the closer they got to the center of the great river, the thicker the mist became. However, this did not affect Su Yuan much.

Su Yuan turned his head to look. Tang Jiao, Lin Chongyun, and Xiong Chunyang all maintained their vigilance.

Then Su Yuan used his Far-Sighted skill to look into the distance. There was still quite a distance to the riverbank.

“At this speed, we still have a long way to go…”

Su Yuan withdrew his gaze, scanned the surroundings again, and continued to advance with the team.

The endless white mist stretched time within it, elongating it without notice.

He didn’t know how long had passed. It seemed like only a moment, yet also like an eternity.

Su Yuan turned to look. Tang Jiao, Lin Chongyun, and Xiong Chunyang remained vigilant.

Then Su Yuan used his Far-Sighted skill to look into the distance. The riverbank was still far away.

“At the current speed, it seems we still have a way to go…”

Su Yuan withdrew his gaze, scanned the surroundings again…

“Pig…man…”

But then, a slightly familiar voice seemed to echo faintly around the void.

“Pig man?” Su Yuan’s heart stirred. What was that? But this voice sounded extremely familiar.

“Master…”

“Master…”

“Puchi!”

Su Yuan’s pupils suddenly shrank: “Ruan Ruan!”

“Puchi! Puchi puchi!”

The increasingly clear sound echoed in his ears. The world before Su Yuan suddenly shattered and plunged into darkness.

The next moment, Su Yuan opened his eyes, fully waking up, and immediately scanned his surroundings.

The mist ahead was like a dragon, the water light covering everything.

They were still by the river. Everyone around him stood with their eyes closed in place. Even the three Solid Rock Dragons hadn’t gathered yet. It felt like time had reverted to before they set out.

On his shoulder, the Slime, Ruan Ruan, kept calling: “Puchi! Puchi! Puchi puchi!”

“Illusion technique!”

Su Yuan’s heart trembled.

Seeing Su Yuan awake, Ruan Ruan was overjoyed and clung tightly to Su Yuan’s face.

“Puchi puchi (Master, master)!”

Su Yuan pinched it: “Ruan Ruan, thanks to you.”

Ruan Ruan was thrilled: “Puchi!”

Su Yuan pinched Ruan Ruan, quickly scanning the scene. Besides falling into a deep sleep, everyone seemed unchanged, breathing evenly and unharmed.

However, Su Yuan immediately noticed something different.

“Someone is missing!”

Su Yuan’s eyes contracted. The original three prisoners in the middle of the cage were now only two.

Since it was an escort task, Su Yuan had memorized the profiles of the seven prisoners. A green-eyed young man’s figure emerged in his mind.

“Qiong Ying.”

Qiong Ying, an Evil Card Master from the north, with an unclear background.

According to the information provided by Wu Jianghao, he had captured a large number of Star Card Masters for his cultivation, including several Shining Star-level experts from Yanluo Country.

Even a group of sixty people, including four Shining Star-level members sent to capture him, were all killed and sacrificed by him. He eventually fled east.

Yanluo requested assistance from both Great Flame and Black Snow Country. The Sky Patrol Department took high precautions and assigned a Radiant Moon Level envoy to chase him.

Even so, it took a lot of effort to capture him.

Su Yuan approached the nearest Tang Jiao to check, raising an eyebrow: “A masterful illusion technique.”

Generally, if someone fell into an illusion, others could try to forcibly wake them up.

But some illusions were special, like the one affecting the team now.

It had no inherent aggression, simply trapping everyone in the illusion. Forcibly awakening someone could cause mental harm.

This wasn’t apparent due to Su Yuan’s high insight, but because the caster deliberately exhibited this trait.

Seeing this, Ruan Ruan dared not use drastic measures, but kept calling to make Su Yuan conscious of the anomaly.

The opponent’s goal was to restrict the escort team as much as possible.

As for how they fell into the illusion, Su Yuan guessed it had something to do with the West Channel River and the mist, but now was not the time for speculation.

“Ruan Ruan, how long have we stayed in place?”

“Puchi puchi (A few minutes)!”

After a quick exchange with Ruan Ruan, Su Yuan understood the situation.

As per Ruan Ruan’s observation, it forcibly left the Guardian Beast Space after noticing his inactivity. It had been a few minutes.

Once out, the surroundings were already in this state.

“A few minutes…”

Su Yuan looked into the thick mist, energetically activating the All-Knowing Vision, using his Far-Sighted skill to search the opposite bank of the West Channel River.

But even at the limit of his All-Knowing Vision, he saw no one and found nothing unusual.

Finding nothing ahead, Su Yuan turned his attention to the sides and rear, thoroughly scanning, but there was still nothing.

“Just a few minutes, where could they go? Do they have Space Gate-like skills?”

Su Yuan raised his eyebrows. In displacement and teleportation, space-related skills were the most powerful.

Other non-space Star Card Masters couldn’t fully utilize skills like the Transmission Gate.

To fly out of his Far-Sighted range within minutes was nearly impossible.

“So where could they…”

“Puchi puchi!”

Ruan Ruan had an idea, pointing its small hands toward the water.

Su Yuan’s expression shifted. He immediately walked to the riverside, carefully searching underwater.

At first, he saw nothing.

But as he searched west along the West Channel River for over ten kilometers, he suddenly discovered something.

“Almost got away…”

Su Yuan formed seals with his hands, silver light gathering before him. Soon enough, a Space Gate opened.

Looking at everyone on the shore, Su Yuan flipped his hand to take out a long knife. He slashed several times, carving the words “West Flow” on the shore.

Then Su Yuan put away Ruan Ruan. With one step, he entered the Space Gate and vanished…
