?Chapter 204: Chapter 198: Can Mo Trapped Chapter 204: Chapter 198: Can Mo Trapped Everyone relaxed.
A lone Tau Wu took advantage of a disciple’s guard being down, grabbed his clothes in its jaws and dragged him towards the forest.
The disciple cried out in pain,
Ye Chen attacked twice but missed. Worried about hitting the disciple, he didn’t dare to attack again.
Ye Chen quickly chased after the Tau Wu, with two of his men following him. “The rest of you, stay in the forest and be alert. Don’t get surrounded again.” he called out, suspecting a trick.
He had to rescue the disciple.
Boom! Close on the heels of the Tau Wu, it ran swiftly; however, the disciple was still alive as he could still yell. Ye Chen was determined to rescue him. After a few kilometers, they were about to lose sight of the Tau Wu, when Ye Chen leaped into the air and struck it with a massive palm attack. His energy traveled a good twenty to thirty yards, finally hitting the Tau Wu and tearing the disciple’s clothes free. The Tau Wu attempted to bite the fallen disciple again, but Ye Chen launched another palm attack and stopped it in its tracks.
Noticing Ye Chen was only a dozen yards away, the Tau Wu seemed to recognize his strength and quickly gave up.
Ye Chen and his men hurriedly went over to the disciple.
The two men who had followed him rushed over and Ye Chen stood atop a small hill, looking towards the front where a large cave appeared about three hundred feet away. The Tau Wus, like they had found their homes, continually flowed into the cave.
Again, Ye Chen heard a series of cries. It sounded like a starving child crying for its mother, it was crystal clear and terrifying. The sound was coming from the cave.
A disciple arrived and saw numerous Tau Wus rushing towards the cave entrance. “That must be their den,” he said.
Ye Chen nodded and asked, “How’s the disciple doing?”
“He’s injured, but not in danger of dying.”
Ye Chen turned back to find another disciple tending to the injured one’s wounds. Worried that the Tau Wus might return, he said, “Don’t just stand there, let’s leave this place fast. Who knows when they might reappear and we won’t be able to escape.” They shouldn’t stay here for long.
“Yeah, we can eliminate them next time.”
“Let’s discuss that later.”
Ye Chen approached and the wounded disciple’s wounds had been bandaged. He looked relieved to have escaped death and expressed his gratitude.
“Can you walk?” asked Ye Chen.
“I’m fine.”
“We better move fast. The den of Tau Wu is just ahead.”
Anther disciple came forward and quickly helped the injured one up.
“Let’s go. This is not a place to linger.”
That terrifying noise continued to emanate from behind them. It came directly from the cave.
The terrorizing cries didn’t stop for a long time. A disciple asked Li Mo, “Will they be okay?”
“Don’t worry. Just wait a bit longer.”
Someone shouted, “They’re back!”
Ye Chen had returned with the injured disciple.
“What happened?” asked Li Mo.
“We think that’s the Tau Wu’s den,” one of his men said.
“So their den is here.”
“Let’s leave this place ASAP,” Ye Chen didn’t want to stay any longer.
This detour had cost them four hours.
After ensuring everyone was present, they continued their journey.
They were all still in a state of panic.
Ye Chen quickened his pace, but soon, thunderous noises came from the front.
“Could they also be attacked by the Tau Wu?” wondered Li Mo.
They emerged from the dense forest.
Ye Chen urgently called out, “Get the Winged Dragon to fly over and see what’s going on.”
The noise was some distance away.
…
By noon, Can Mo and his group thought they were safe, but continued traveling was impossible. They needed to eat and rest. Otherwise, their speed would decrease even further. So they decided to stop for a while.
Someone quickly informed Ci Ye about the situation.
Ci Ye just learned that Tong Hegan’s group was not far from them. They could launch an attack.
Er Gui said, “We can surround them.”
Ci Ye nodded.
Er Gui added, “Those in the rear are just right to deal with those beasts. It’s an opportunity for us.”
“Good. Tell Tong Hegan to initiate the attack. We’ll be there in one hour,” Ci Ye said to Er Gui, “Don’t be careless. You bring a group of people and keep an eye on the rear.”
“They won’t be able to catch up.”
Ci Ye replied, “I don’t know how long it will take to deal with them when they spring up, we should remain cautious.”
Er Gui nodded in agreement.
Ling’er’s group was preparing to continue their journey after finishing their meal, had rested well for an hour. Can Mo’s people were vigilant, guarding against the threat of Ci Ye attacking from behind.
Suddenly, a large group of people appeared from the front, blocking the path they were heading to.
Dozens of Winged Dragons flew at them with threatening momentum. They had not expected the Winged Dragons to fly at them from the front, followed closely by a horde of fierce mutant beasts charging towards them.
Caught unawares, Can Mo quickly organized his team.
Ling’er asked, “Weren’t Ci Ye’s people supposedly behind us? How could they suddenly appear in front of us?”
A disciple ran over and said, “It doesn’t seem to be Ci Ye’s people.”
Disbelieving, Can Mo asked, “Then who are they?”
“It seems to be Tong Hegan’s people.”
“I knew it, these devils will never cease.”
“What should we do?”
“Quickly get our people up.” Can Mo added, “See how many of them there are.”
They barely had time to rest for an hour when this group suddenly attacked.
Throwing down what she was holding, Ling’er went over to help and said to Can Mo, “This is definitely a trap, they want to encircle us.”
Without any better explanation, Can Mo believed it to be so. Tong Hegan wouldn’t have come to this isolated Centipede Mountain for no reason and coincidentally run into them. The only explanation was that Ci Ye had called him over.
“Yeah, it’s probably a plot.”
However, there was no sound of fighting from behind. Can Mo couldn’t let his guard down, as Ci Ye’s people could attack at any moment. It was clear that the most important thing now was to break away from their encirclement.
Tong Hegan wasn’t a fool, he knew exactly what Can Mo’s people were thinking.
He received orders from Ci Ye to entangle the New City Sect disciples, and they would arrive soon.
With the majesty of a hawk spreading its wings, Tong Hegan led a large crowd of people, blocking the way of New City Sect disciples.
The person at the forefront was Tong Hegan himself.
Tong Hegan sneered, “Did you really think the Wastelands only belonged to the New City Sect? Dream on, it’s still a question of who will be wiped out today.”
Ling’er rushed up with her team, trying to create a gap, but the other side was clearly prepared. It wouldn’t be easy to tear open a crack.
After an hour, Can Mo began to fret, unaware of what to do. He was even more worried about being encircled by them.
Just then, a group of Winged Dragons appeared from the rear, leaving a huge trail of fireballs as they approached.
It was clear that Ci Ye’s people intended to join forces with Tong Hegan’s people to encircle them. Even before they arrived, all their Winged Dragons had been released, clearly showing their encircling intentions.
They were trapped with no way out. Retreat was impossible. Can Mo was clueless. With a horde of Winged Dragons shooting fireballs, he knew that Ci Ye would be arriving soon.
Tong Hegan was shouting, “Everyone hold on, Ci Ye will be here soon, and then we’ll directly surround and annihilate them.”
Ling’er glared at Yang Jing, “I want to kill this guy first.”
But she was stopped by Ci Ye, who said, “Ling’er, don’t. Watch this guy for me.” Yang Jing seemed to have become their last straw for survival. Ci Ye wanted to see if it was a life and death struggle with them or if he needed to save Yang Jing.
In disbelief, Can Mo tried to force a way out, not having much time left. By the time…
But the more anxious they were, the more chaotic they became. Plus Tong Hegan’s group was larger, so how could they let them escape easily.
Attempting to break the encirclement three times had failed, and they had already spent more than two hours.
Can Mo quickly instructed his people to retract their forces and prepare to defend their ground. Sure enough, within a short time, Ci Ye attacked with over 300 men, collaborating with Tong Hegan for a pincer attack.
Can Mo called out, “Ling’er, you must keep Yang Jing under control.”
Yang Jing had now become their only bargaining chip.
Ye Chen’s people soon returned and reported, “It’s not good, Can Mo’s people have been surrounded.”
Upon hearing this, Li Mo was extremely puzzled, “How can that be? Ci Ye only has about 300 people and Can Mo also has 300 or so people. How could they possibly be surrounded by Ci Ye’s people? Da Gui’s people couldn’t have gotten here so quickly.” He was absolutely incredulous.
The subordinate quickly explained, “It’s not Da Gui, and it’s not just Ci Ye’s people, but also Tong Hegan’s people.”
“What, Tong Hegan’s people? How did they get here?”
“I don’t know. They appeared from the front, blocking Can Mo’s path, and now Ci Ye’s group is also here, creating a pincer attack. To the left and right are rivers and cliffs, Can Mo’s party has been surrounded.”
Li Mo was taken aback.
Ye Chen asked, “How many are they in total?”
“When combined, there are at least seven or eight hundred people.”
Li Mo became nervous, “What should we do? We need to hurry up and help.”
But a disciple said, “But we only have about fifty people, and we just escaped from Tau Wu’s siege.”
