Chapter 683 - 683 Encirclement
683 Encirclement
After hearing Liu Yan’s analysis, the faces of Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the others suddenly changed.
“You mean, we’re deeper into the encirclement of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers?”
Luo Wei said, “I have a bad feeling about this too. Perhaps there aren’t any Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers here. However, there are many of them in the distance.”
Xu Han sighed helplessly. “I’m impressed. If that’s the case, then these man-eating flowers are too evil. How did they set a trap for us?”
Allen Smith responded, “If that’s the case, we might be deeper into the encirclement of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.”
“Then we have no way to escape. There’s no way to escape. We can only fight against the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers and kill our way out. There’s no way we can escape this battle!” Hans Wilson was a bit frustrated.
Liu Yan nodded slightly and said, “Of course, this is only my suspicion. I don’t know what the situation is like. We still need to investigate it in detail. But I think there are only two possibilities. First, this is a trap set up by the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. Second, something special about this place keeps those flowers from coming closer. I don’t think there’s any other possibility. It can’t be that the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers have a problem with their encirclement and left a direction for us to escape, right?”
After hearing Liu Yan’s words, Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the other five people felt it made sense.
However, he still needed to investigate to find out what exactly it was.
Immediately after, Liu Yan arranged for Luo Wei and himself to investigate in two different directions.
Liu Yan had no other choice. The rest of them had weak mental energy and were easily affected.
In this sharp knife squad, only Liu Yan and Luo Wei could scout out the surrounding.
Liu Yan’s mental strength was relatively strong, and he was not afraid of those Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.
On the other hand, although Luo Wei had never specially cultivated mental power, he seemed quite talented. He was born with a good amount of mental power.
Although Luo Wei’s mental power was not as strong as Liu Yan’s, he could still resist the Hallucinatory Pollen of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower.
Before he left, Liu Yan reminded him, “Luo Wei, remember. If you find any Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, come back immediately. Don’t linger in battle. These Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers are very strange. Especially if there are a lot of them, their power will be even stronger. Even if you are born with strong mental power, you might not be able to withstand them.”
“Alright, don’t worry.”
As Luo Wei spoke, his figure flashed, and he entered stealth mode to explore.
Being invisible might be able to avoid the attention of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower and allow Luo Wei to explore safely.
Of course, if Luo Wei wanted to be safe, the most important thing was to stay away from the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. Liu Yan had also told him to pay attention to his safety.
After that, Liu Yan looked at Ye Yifan, Xu Han, Allen Smith, and Hans Wilson and said, “Stay where you are. If a group of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers comes and you’re in danger, get close to Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf. It should be able to save you.”
Liu Yan didn’t know what was going on but he could tell that Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf were not affected by the Hallucinatory Pollen.
It was the first time Liu Yan was caught off guard. He had a strong mental power but did not notice the Hallucinatory Pollen.
However, Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf was not affected at all, as if the Hallucinatory Pollen was fake.
Liu Yan knew that there must be a reason behind this.
Liu Yan did not know the exact reason. He could only scout the surroundings first to determine if they could leave or if they had to fight. Then, he would figure out why Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf was not afraid of Hallucinatory Pollen.
That was why Liu Yan left the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf behind. This way, if the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers attacked them, Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf could save Xu Han, Ye Yifan, Allen Smith, and Hans Wilson.
Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, Ye Yifan, and Xu Han agreed to Liu Yan’s request.
They also knew that although they were powerful, these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were proficient in mental power. These flowers could hypnotize them, so they could not be careless.
Immediately, Liu Yan left the place.
Liu Yan used the A-grade skill, Shadow Cloak, and his entire body became invisible.
At the same time, Liu Yan also used his B-grade skill, Traceless Silence, hiding all his sounds, even his heartbeat.
Liu Yan did this because he wanted to investigate the situation here without attracting the attention of the group of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.
Liu Yan slowly moved forward. At the same time, he activated his S-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight, and his SS-grade Extraordinary Five Senses. With the help of these two powerful perception skills, he carefully sensed everything around him, mainly to find the figure of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower.
After walking for about 500 meters, Liu Yan saw a Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower.
Liu Yan did not attack the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower and continued to move forward.
Not long after, a large group of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers suddenly appeared in front of them.
Liu Yan was surprised because this direction was where he had escaped from, where the number of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers had suddenly decreased.
When Liu Yan and the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf were running away with Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the other four, they passed by this place. Then, the number of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers suddenly decreased a lot.
“Could it be that I’ve guessed wrong? It’s not the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers that set a trap for us, but that there’s something special about this place that the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers don’t dare to approach?” Liu Yan pondered in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.
Then, Liu Yan continued to move forward and explore the surroundings.
Liu Yan checked the other directions. He found that there were tons of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers surrounding the place where Liu Yan and the others were, not giving them any space to leave.
However, these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers did not come closer. After they reached a certain distance, they suddenly did not dare to come closer.
It was as if there was something extraordinary here that kept these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers from approaching!
After Liu Yan made a thorough investigation and confirmed the situation, he returned to where they rested.
Not long after Liu Yan’s return, Luo Wei also returned from his investigation.
“How is it?” Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, Xu Han, and Ye Yifan looked curiously at the two people who had just returned from their investigation.
Luo Wei shook his head slightly. “When we first left this place, we didn’t see a single Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower, but after a certain distance, the number of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers suddenly increased significantly.”
When Liu Yan heard this, he nodded. “I saw the same situation as Luo Wei. I’ve checked carefully. These Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers have surrounded us in three areas. They don’t give us any way to escape. We have no chance of escaping.”
