Chapter 390: Mantis Catching Cicada

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This guy was quite smart. Seeing that he was burdened by the array formation, he used his huge strength to smash a crack in the array formation under his feet. Then, he approached Liu Wen without stopping.

The stone monster quickly took two steps forward and rushed in front of Liu Wen. However, at this moment, countless golden tentacles suddenly broke out of the array formation underground. They swarmed up like vines and wrapped around the stone monster tightly.

The stone monster’s fist hit the vine’s net and was completely neutralized. He still wanted to struggle in the middle of the net. However, the more he struggled, the tighter the net became. In the end, the endless golden vines outside swarmed over and wrapped him into a golden ball. Moreover, the size of the ball was still shrinking.

Until finally, there was a muffled bang.

Liu Wen slowly heaved a sigh of relief and spread his hands. The huge golden ball in midair slowly dispersed, and a pile of black fragments fell to the ground.

This eighth-grade Spirit Transformation stone monster was really powerful. If it was a real person, Liu Wen would have been injured.

Fortunately, it was successfully resolved.

However, just as the red light flashed on the token, such a stone monster landed in the sky. It was difficult not to wonder if there was any connection between the two.

Could it be that the notification saying that they were going to the gathering point was fake? These troubles were the contents of this assessment.

Liu Wen thought about it and felt that this was in line with Little Man’s style. Sister Little Man liked to do things that caught people off guard.

Among the rubble, a small thumb-sized stone flickered with a faint white light. It happened to shine through the cracks of the stone and could be seen.

Liu Wen waved his hand and the small stone landed in his palm.

The small stone trembled gently and suddenly swayed. It rushed towards the token at his waist and entered it.

The originally white token flickered and silently turned light yellow.

A mechanical voice came from the token.

“Congratulations on passing the first checkpoint. Please proceed to the second checkpoint immediately.”

The token shot out a yellow light that pointed south. There was also a yellow pillar of light there that soared into the sky and stood there like a flag, guiding Liu Wen.

Liu Wen sighed in his heart. As expected of a competition personally organized by Sister Little Man. This array formation was probably personally made by her.

He followed the guidance of the light and was about to hurry forward when Liu Wen suddenly turned around and left a deep pit under his feet. His entire body shot to the other side like a cannonball.

He squatted on a big tree a hundred feet away and looked at the place where the voice came from in surprise.

At this moment, countless air-piercing sounds rang out. Small flags passed by him one after another and quickly enveloped him.

Liu Wen’s face darkened. He had been so focused on dodging the sudden attack that he had not realized that the main body of the attack was an array flag.

Now, more than a hundred array flags were scattered in all directions with the tree he was on as the center, firmly enveloping him. Moreover, the entire array had already been set up. The light that could be easily emitted from the top was all connected.

The array formation kept spreading upward. Liu Wen knew that something was wrong and hurriedly wanted to climb up the tree again to escape the control of the array formation.

When the wave hit Liu Wen, he fell into the vast sea and struggled aimlessly. He felt like he was about to lose his breath. His limbs were still struggling, but it was useless. His body could not move.

A huge shark ten thousand feet long swayed its huge tail fin, turning into a shadow that covered the entire sky as it swam towards Liu Wen.

Liu Wen was filled with endless shock and fear. He tried his best to break free and escape, but the pressure was like a rope that bound him tightly, preventing him from moving.

The shark opened its eyes. Its two eyes flickered with golden light as two golden figures jumped out.

The little golden person waved the trident in its hand twice before turning into a ribbon of light that stabbed straight at Liu Wen.

Liu Wen’s tightly shut eyes finally opened, and a blinding red light lit up between his brows.

The red light was like a huge ax that split the seawater in half.

The moment the seawater was broken, many of the restrictions on Liu Wen’s body seemed to be broken. His hands that were crossed in front of his chest suddenly broke free, and a ten-foot-long flag inexplicably appeared in his right hand.

In the sea, Liu Wen waved the flag in his hand heavily.

A wave appeared in front of him and crazily turned into a tornado, blocking the small golden person.

The golden light little person stubbornly crawled into the tornado and was shattered by the power. Its body was completely out of control and it spun crazily in the waves.

Liu Wen’s open eyes closed again. When he opened them again, his eyes were glowing white. As the light swept past, he finally saw what was binding his body.

They were demonic vines. These vines were covered in poisonous thorns that pierced deep into his body.

Taking advantage of his daze just now, they had completely controlled him and sealed the spiritual energy in his body.

No wonder he felt that he could not move just now. All the power in his body was sealed tightly by these poisonous vines.

Liu Wen waved the flag, and a violent wind appeared out of thin air, blowing away the surrounding seawater and turning into a clear sky that enveloped Liu Wen’s head.

In the forest, Liu Shaokong and Li Hongshan were sitting facing each other in the south and north. At this moment, their heads were covered in sweat. They looked extremely nervous and their bodies were still trembling, as if they had encountered something very painful.

“How does this kid have such powerful strength? The two of us can’t kill him even if we join forces?”

Liu Shaokong suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Hongshan.

Li Hongshan gritted his teeth and said fiercely, “What else is there to say? Since we’ve already made a move, don’t hold back anymore. Use all your skills. We can’t be destroyed by him!”

As soon as Li Hongshan finished speaking, he took out a golden pill from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.

Immediately after, he took out a golden flag and held it in his hand. He threw it heavily into the air. The flag expanded in the wind and turned into a thousand feet tall behind him.

Seeing this, Liu Shaokong no longer hesitated. They had been good friends for many years. He had already wanted to retreat just now, but seeing Li Hongshan show his ability, it would be unreasonable for him to hold back.

He also took out a large flag like Li Hongshan. However, his flag was blue, and he was the main force of the Sea-Conquering Formation.

In the sea, the vast vortex kept expanding, and the bright starry sky kept expanding. Liu Wen immediately took the initiative.

However, at this moment, the originally clear sky suddenly changed color. Two huge dark clouds covered Liu Wen’s head, and heavy rain fell from the dark clouds, completely covering Liu Wen’s aura.

Liu Wen’s face darkened. He had already taken the initiative and was about to break this array formation.

However, just as he was about to succeed, an even greater pressure was suddenly applied outside. From the looks of it, there was definitely more than one person outside. These two fellows were very heavy-handed and did not leave any leeway.

The array flag in his hand fluttered in the wind, but it still stood firmly.

The waves rose to a thousand feet tall and surged towards Liu Wen.

On the other side of the sky, golden lightning kept striking the surface of the sea, each falling towards Liu Wen’s head.

Liu Wen barely held on with the power of the flag in his hand, but it would probably not be easy to escape during this period of time.

“Little guy!” Li Hongshan’s fat face finally revealed a gratified expression. Although he was tired, as long as they could get this kid out, it was definitely a good thing for them to have one less competitor. “Just now, I persuaded you to get out obediently. Why did you have to go through so much trouble? You have to be injured to know your mistake!”

The two of them seemed to think that victory was in their grasp and were extremely proud of themselves.

The flag behind him fluttered under the wind with a powerful aura.

However, at this moment, an inconspicuous arrow darted over from nowhere and stabbed into Li Hongshan’s golden flag.

This arrow came very quickly and was impossible to guard against. Just as Li Hongshan sensed it, the arrow had already arrived in front of his array flag.

“Stop!”

Li Hongshan roared, but it was useless.

The arrow mercilessly passed through his array flags.

The core point where the power was the most condensed was ruthlessly pierced through. The golden flag withered at an extremely fast speed, and the concentrated power kept darting back and forth, causing the entire flag to shake from side to side. It looked like it was about to explode.

Seeing that his precious array flag had such a serious gap and that the power within could no longer be controlled, Li Hongshan could no longer wait and impatiently took back the flag.

After he retracted his array flags, the power in the array formation suddenly changed. The pressure on Liu Wen, who was inside, suddenly decreased, and his expression became much more relaxed.

“What are you doing?”

All the pressure fell on Liu Shaokong. Liu Shaokong widened his eyes and asked Li Hongshan.

Li Hongshan was not in the mood to care about this anymore. If his treasure was not repaired in time, the treasure array flags he had spent all his effort to refine would be useless.

“Cut the crap. Someone ambushed us. Hurry up and put away the array formation. Let’s retreat!”

“How can we retreat at a time like this when we’re about to succeed!”

“If you’re not leaving, I’ll leave first. I don’t want to lose all my wealth here for one less opponent!”

As Li Hongshan spoke, he put away his things and turned around to escape. However, as soon as he turned around, he bumped into a high wall. He looked up at the high wall. It was ten thousand feet tall and reached the top of the sky. When he looked back, the forest had disappeared.

The high wall that was ten thousand feet wide surrounded him in the middle, and the space inside was still shrinking. This huge pressure suffocated him. He barely took out the thwarted array flag again and wanted to mobilize his strength.

However, this was useless. The moment his array flag appeared, an evil wind immediately blew from the sky. The evil wind hit his array flag and broke it from the middle.

Li Hongshan knelt on the ground in extreme pain. He hugged the broken array flag in his arms and cried bitterly.

This main array flag was the lifeblood of an array master. Only by having an array flag that belonged to him could an array master unleash his full strength. Now that his lifeblood had been broken into two, he was no longer complete as an array master.

“Hand over your token!”

An incomparably dignified voice came from the sky.

At this moment, Li Hongshan did not dare to hide anything. He hurriedly raised his token with both hands. A gust of wind blew past Li Hongshan and he felt a chill in his hand. The token had already disappeared and he had returned to the forest.

Blood hung from the corner of Liu Shaokong’s mouth as he lay unconscious in front of him.

“Liu Shaokong? What’s wrong?”

Li Hongshan hurriedly pressed his hand on Liu Shaokong’s chest. His chest was still heaving. Although the spiritual energy in his body was very chaotic, it was still circulating.

Li Hongshan heaved a long sigh of relief and sat on the ground. He looked at the messy forest. Their array disc had been completely destroyed. This array formation that had cost a huge sum of money had been destroyed just like that. It would probably cost a lot to repair it.

The two of them had exhausted their schemes and set up such a trap. They did not expect that someone else would take advantage of them.

In the depths of the forest, on a big tree not far from the yellow pillar of light.

Liu Wen sat cross-legged on the thick branch. On the other branches, two people stood upright and observed the movements of the yellow pillar of light.

“I didn’t expect you to save me after a year.”

A bitter smile appeared on Liu Wen’s lips.

The man standing at the side turned around. Although his face had changed a lot, he could still clearly tell that it was Yang Tianqi.
