Chapter 260: Chapter 231: Hong Yi’s New Lieutenant, The Sudden Monster Tide (Two in One)_l

“Is it spatial dislocation?”

The Lord furrowed his brow, but quickly dismissed the possibility after some consideration.

Although spatial dislocation is irresistible, at the very least, the displacement would cause changes in the surrounding environment and give them a noticeable sense of spatial displacement.

Yet he felt nothing.

Moreover, his eyelids kept twitching, and the ominous feeling growing louder in his heart as if he were a prey entangled in a spider web.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

“I am a Lord from the Shen Yao Empire. Who dares to treat me as prey!”

Even compared to the King of the Undead or the Explosive King, he wouldn’t fall far short.

His team’s combat power was also complete; he couldn’t be unaware if they encountered powerhouses from Yongxing or Shen Mu.

Whoosh—

A faint noise echoed.

Lord Shen Yao looked sharply and found that his team had lost another man.

The luxurious team of eleven now only had seven left.

But this time…

“I saw it!”

He saw brown roots tightly winding around one of his men and dragging him towards the distance, into the dense forest of roots. By the time Lord Shen Yao noticed, more than half of his subordinate’s body had already been pulled into the root jungle, with only his battle boots sticking out.

“Mari!”

He shouted at his own A-grade ‘Fire Elemental Mage’.

Not far away, the woman in a fiery red robe stood. Although she hadn’t awakened her self-consciousness for long, her cooperation with the Lord was already in perfect harmony.

At this moment, even if it affected friendly forces, these peculiar roots had to be destroyed.

With her staff held high, the surging fire soon gathered at its tip, the next moment…

“Pop—”

The fireball, which was already condensed and ready to burst, shattered like a bubble. The woman, in her striking red robe, stood there motionless under her mage’s hat, her eyes clouded over, her mouth slightly open, like a broken doll.

The next moment,

Whoosh-

Strands of root, like pythons, wrapped around this Fire Elemental Mage who wouldn’t resist, dragging her deep into the root jungle.

Then, the python-like roots burrowed into her clothes through the collar, cuffs, and skirt, tightly against her skin’s surface, each spiky tip burrowing into her.

The super-absorption began!

The Tree Demon Granny sucked her life force and energy.

Hong Yi absorbed her spiritual power, consciousness, and soul power.

The two perfectly divided up the spoils of the hunt.

In just a second or two, the powerhouse who considered as one of the best among the third-order War Generals had become at her last gasp, reduced to a charging device.

Lord Shen Yao’s team was down to six members…. no, five.

In the blink of an eye, another general disappeared.

The surrounding giant trees soared into the sky, locking the sunlight up high, eerily similar to a terrifying monster’s den.

“Something is wrong here, very wrong!”

“We must run!”

“As the noble representative of the Shen Yao Empire, how can I get eliminated here! I still carry the sacred mission of finding Tianyuan!”

Lord Shen Yao and the remaining four strongest generals formed a tight formation.

The Holy Light Master Sacrifice shed pure white light;

The Brilliant Radiant Spirit emitted a dazzling radiance;

The Fear Knight swung his heavy sword;

Yet, the next moment, the dense roots around them began to dance wildly. “Whoosh, whoosh”, they shot out from all directions, intertwining to form a giant net that held them firmly within.

Ding-Dong—

The pleasant sound of bells echoing through the dense forest, only heightening the creepiness.

After about a dozen seconds, when Lord Shen Yao came out of his daze, the four kings under his command had fallen one after another, leaving only him standing alone.

He felt a chill run down his spine.

He felt as if numerous eyes were staring at him.

Who was it? Who was mocking him in such a way?

Was it the Prince of Shen Mu?

At this thought, Lord Shen Yao was no longer outraged, only fear remained.

“I quit!”

He shouted loudly.

This was one of the rules of the Chaos Forest—suffering fatal injuries or actively forfeiting would result in elimination and being transported back.

The next moment, the figure of Lord Shen Yao turned into light and vanished, leaving behind a scroll that fell to the ground. Subsequently, the generals drawn into the roots, one by one, also disappeared and exited.

Hong Yi’s eyes widened.

“How can you, Lord Shen Yao, be so spineless!”

“I was careless!”

In her field of vision, besides the dense root forest, was a chilling Underworld Ghost Market.

Within the Ghost Market, thanks to her diligent management, many small ghosts had appeared. But, amongst the heavier ghosts, she previously only had one and a half—A-grade scout Victor and his Underworld Ghost.

Now, beside this A-grade scout, within the ghost shops on either side, indistinct figures could be seen. A mage in a bright red robe, a knight in black armor, a plump and sacred priest, and so on.

Their figures were all rather vague.

Suddenly, these dozen figures burst apart one by one, of which three reassembled after the burst, but their figures were even more blurred. Only their general characteristics could be made out.

Hong Yi’s harvesting plan had failed.

Theoretically, it was indeed possible, just like earlier when she converted A- grade scout Victor into a ‘death-like’ state so as not to trigger the resurrection item.

In the Chaos Forest, she could indeed trap the enemies’ souls in the Underworld Ghost Market forever. What the rules sent back would be merely a shell.

This was the terror of the Epic Ability.

Of course, only a very small number of epic abilities could achieve such an eerie effect.

But this transformation required a considerable amount of time.
