Chapter 851 - 851 This Is A Trap!
851 This Is A Trap!
Shuang Yun immediately went down the mountain and gathered the 60 beast soldiers he had brought from Rock City. He chose 20 of the fastest elite soldiers.
They left the City of 10,000 Beasts and chased after the first elder.
Shuang Yun was away for a full ten days.
Ten days later, Shuang Yun finally caught up to the person who kidnapped the first elder in a complicated stone forest.
There were a total of ten people on the other side, all fearless sacrificial soldiers.
They resisted the pursuit desperately.
Shuang Yun ordered the beast soldiers to hold off the ten beasts. He rushed behind the enemy alone, grabbed the unconscious first elder, and broke his neck on the spot to prevent another disaster.
He put the first elder’s corpse into his space.
The mission this time was finally completed. Shuang Yun heaved a sigh of relief and prepared to retreat with his troops.
Unexpectedly, nearly a hundred people suddenly jumped out from behind the stones around them.
They were all demons!
Shuang Yun cursed inwardly. This was a trap!
The other party had deliberately kidnapped the first elder and lured them here. Then, they set up an ambush to attack them.
These demons surrounded Shuang Yun and the others, attacking crazily!
…
The four pots of flowers Huanhuan had planted were already filled with flowers. They were quite beautiful, but Shuang Yun was not back yet.
She felt uneasy as if something bad was about to happen.
The contractual ring on her ring finger suddenly became hot!
Huanhuan’s heart tightened in fear.
Something had indeed happened to Shuang Yun!
She got up quickly and ran out. She bumped into Bai Di, who was walking toward her.
“Bai Di, something has happened to Shuang Yun!”
Bai Di took her shoulders. “I can sense that he’s in danger too. Don’t be anxious. I’ll rescue him now.”
“You don’t even know where he is. How are you going to save him?” Huanhuan was anxious.
At this moment, Sang Ye and Xue Ling rushed over.
Just now, they had all felt the warning from the contractual ring and learned that Shuang Yun was in danger.
Xue Ling took out the first elder’s corpse from the space.
“Shuang Yun just put this in the space. His corpse is still warm. He must have been killed by Shuang Yun not long ago. This means that Shuang Yun was still safe and sound when he killed him. Shuang Yun must have been attacked after killing the first elder.”
Huanhuan’s mind was in a mess. She could only force herself to calm down and prick up her ears to listen to the three of them analyze the situation.
Bai Di nodded in agreement. “Xue Ling’s analysis is right. Shuang Yun was in danger after killing the first elder, but how could it be so coincidental? Why did the people who attacked Shuang Yun know that Shuang Yun was chasing after the first elder? They even attacked when Shuang Yun was most relaxed after killing the first elder.”
Sang Ye said in a low voice, “This is a trap.”
Xue Ling immediately continued, “That’s right! From the time the first elder was kidnapped to when Shuang Yun was chasing after the first elder and was ambushed… these were all planned traps. The other party deliberately used the first elder as bait to lure us in.”
Huanhuan quickly asked, “How could they be sure that Shuang Yun will definitely pursue the first elder?”
Bai Di stroked her head. “Even if it’s not Shuang Yun this time, it might be me, Sang Ye, or Xue Ling. No matter who it is, as long as they’re in danger, it’ll make you panic.”
Xue Ling was smiling, but his tone was very cold. “There aren’t many people Huanhuan can trust in the City of 10,000 Beasts. Among them, there are even fewer who have the strength to pursue the first elder. It’s easy to guess.”
In the end, it was because Huanhuan had just ascended to the position of prophet and her foundation was unstable.
Even though her reputation had reached its peak, there were not many factions that really supported her.
She was alone in the City of 10,000 Beasts.
It was fine when things were peaceful, but once something happened, she would have no one to use. Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling were the only ones who would help her.
Huanhuan finally calmed down. “In that case, their ultimate goal is actually me.”
Bai Di comforted her gently. “Don’t worry too much. Although Shuang Yun is in danger, the contract hasn’t been broken. This means that he’s still alive. As long as he’s alive, there’s hope. I’ll go out of the city to look for him and save him as soon as possible.”
Huanhuan quickly grabbed his hand. “You can’t leave! If this is all a trap, it means that the other party was prepared. Now that Shuang Yun is in danger, they’ll definitely think that I’ll send you to save him. At that time, they’ll set up a few more ambushes. Even if the three of you have ten lives, that won’t be enough to harm them!”
Bai Di said nothing, while Xue Ling and Sang Ye looked solemn.
Clearly, what Huanhuan said made sense.
The other party was deliberately sparing Shuang Yun’s life to lure them into a trap.
Whether they saved him or not, it was a dead end.
At this moment, Jian Yi hurried in and whispered, “The king of all beasts is here to see you.”
Why was He Zong here at this time? Huanhuan was annoyed and said no.
However, Jian Yi said, “The king of all beasts said that he’s here about Shuang Yun.”
Huanhuan’s expression changed slightly.
Shuang Yun had just gotten into trouble, but the king of all beasts already knew.
She glanced at her three mates.
Xue Ling smiled faintly. “It seems that this king of beasts is not simple. Let’s meet him.”
Huanhuan nodded. “Take him to the reception room and have him wait for me.”
“Alright.”
A moment later, Huanhuan walked into the reception room accompanied by Bai Di and Xue Ling.
He Zong had been sitting in the reception room for a while.
When he saw Huanhuan, he immediately stood up and bowed slightly. “Lady Prophet.”
Huanhuan nodded. “Hello.”
After both sides sat down, Huanhuan did not give the other party a chance to talk nonsense. She went straight to the point and asked, “Jian Yi told me just now that you came to see me about Shuang Yun. Can I ask what it is?”
He Zong first glanced at the two men behind her before stopping.
Huanhuan understood what he meant. “These two are my mates. They’re one of us. Just say what you have to say. There’s no need to be afraid of them.”
Hearing this, He Zong could only say truthfully, “I heard that Shuang Yun went to hunt down the first elder this time. It’s been ten days and he hasn’t returned. I’m worried that he might have encountered danger on the way.”
“Thank you for your concern. This is our own family matter. We can handle it ourselves.”
He Zong smiled. “You don’t have to be so wary of me. I came to you this time to help you.”
“How do you want to help me?”
“I know you’re short of manpower now. I’m willing to mobilize 200 beast soldiers in my hands to help you find Shuang Yun. If he’s really in danger, they can escort him back immediately.”
Huanhuan narrowed her eyes. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What are your conditions?”
He Zong said, “I actually don’t have any conditions. I just want to be in-laws with you. As long as your daughter can become mates with our son, we’ll be a family. If something happens to Shuang Yun, we naturally have to save him.”
