Chapter 309: Capture The Leader First!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was late at night, and since no one was adding firewood, the flames on the fire were getting smaller.

A cool night breeze blew past.

With a puff, the last of the flames were blown out.

More than a dozen sneaky figures quietly approached Huanhuan and Xing Chen. One of them took out a rope and planned to tie Huanhuan up. Another revealed his sharp claws and prepared to kill Xing Chen.

Huanhuan was in a daze when she suddenly heard the system’s voice.

“Huanhuan.”

Huanhuan rubbed her eyes and asked in a low voice, “What?”

Xin Hong, who had pulled the rope away and was about to tie her up, immediately froze in place, his heart beating wildly in fear.

Didn’t they say that the drug could knock out rhinoceroses? Why couldn’t it even knock out a small female?!

Although Xin Hong was shocked by Huanhuan’s sudden awakening, his reaction was very fast. Before Huanhuan could react, he pounced on her and prepared to knock her out!

Before he could approach, he was sent flying!

Xin Hong fell heavily to the ground.

He quickly got up. He only had a slight scratch on his body, but he was extremely shocked.

What was that? It looked like a flower?

But what flower could be so fierce?!

Huanhuan had completely woken up. She realized that something was wrong and scrambled toward Xing Chen. “Ah Xing! Wake up!”

Xing Chen had actually woken up long ago.

He knew very well that someone had drugged the roasted meat he ate that night, but he didn’t say anything. In any case, that little bit of drug wouldn’t work on him.

He had originally planned to kill those beasts with ill intentions after Huanhuan fell asleep.

But unexpectedly, Huanhuan woke up halfway!

Did that drug not work on her either?

Before Xing Chen could think about the reason, he had already sat up and pretended to have just woken up as Huanhuan pulled him away.

A dozen beasts chased after them.

In any case, they had already been exposed. They no longer needed to pretend to be good people. They tore off their disguises and revealed their most ferocious appearance.

Huanhuan was shocked. She shouted, “What the hell is this?!”

Why did she wake up to find that the kind people she was with had become homicidal maniacs?!

The system also shouted, “That’s what I want to ask you too!”

Why did it wake up to find a demon king beside it?!

The human and system screamed in fear.

It was not easy to walk in the desert. Coupled with the fact that it was dark and Huanhuan’s legs were short, she almost fell several times. In the end, Xing Chen quickly caught her.

At the same time, the murderers behind them were approaching.

The situation was extremely critical.

Huanhuan pushed Xing Chen in front of her and said, “You run first. I’ll hold them off!”

Although it didn’t know why Huanhuan wanted to protect Xing Chen, the system felt that this was a good opportunity to get rid of him. It quickly agreed. “Yes, yes, yes. Let him go quickly. The farther he goes, the better!”

When Xing Chen saw Huanhuan trembling in fear but still insisting on protecting him, his heart suddenly burned.

It was the hottest he had ever felt.

Starlight flickered in his eyes.

“I can’t leave you behind.”

Huanhuan was anxious. “Why are you acting like this? Your eyes aren’t working. You can’t even protect yourself. Hurry up and leave!”

“Me being blind is all the more reason for me to stay. Anyway, even if I were to run alone, I won’t be able to see the way clearly. I won’t be able to find my way. I’ll definitely get lost again.”

Huanhuan immediately fell into despair. “Then what should we do now?”

The system was also in despair. ‘Why isn’t the demon king leaving?!’

Xing Chen said, “How about this? I’ll find a way to stall them while you quietly go tie up Hou Yan.”

Huanhuan’s eyes lit up. This was a good idea!

As the mate of this group of male beasts, Hou Yan was equivalent to their leader. As long as they caught her, they would not dare to act rashly again!

Huanhuan asked, “Can you stall them?”

“Don’t worry, I can handle them.”

Xing Chen’s eyes were very bright, and his amber pupils shone as charmingly as stars.

Huanhuan looked at them for a moment. As if bewitched, she involuntarily believed what he said.

She said, “Then I’m leaving.”

Xing Chen said, “Remember to come back for me.”

“Yes!”

Huanhuan stepped into the soft sand and walked away.

Xing Chen watched her leave. Only when Xin Hong and the others were in front of him did he reluctantly look away.

When Xin Hong saw that Huanhuan had run away, he immediately shouted at his companions, “I’m going after that female. Kill this guy. Be straightforward!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black circle appear at Xing Chen’s foot.

The circle quickly spread out with him as the center. Soon, it reached the feet of Xin Hong and the others.

Countless withered hands reached out from the ground and grabbed Xin Hong and the others’ ankles as they dragged the beasts down!

Xin Hong shouted in horror, “What is this?!”

Xing Chen watched them struggle as if he was looking down on a group of lowly ants.

Soon, the dozen beasts were dragged into the abyss one after another and could no longer be seen.

The black circle shrank visibly and disappeared.

Under Xing Chen’s feet was still thick sand. The bottomless abyss seemed to be a realistic illusion.

The dozen or so beasts were lying on the ground. They were no longer breathing. Their faces were still filled with the fear of death. Their eyes were wide open, and their pupils were constricted. Their faces were ferocious.

Xing Chen turned around and walked away.

Huanhuan had already found Hou Yan.

Hou Yan was sleeping soundly with two strong male beasts lying beside her. The three of them were very close to each other and were naked.

Huanhuan hid under the sand slope and looked around. She realized that no matter what method she used, as long as she wanted to catch Hou Yan, it was impossible to avoid the two male beasts.

In that case, she would capture all three!

Huanhuan was about to attack when she heard the system call out.

“You’re not really planning to capture that female and go save Xing Chen, are you?!”

Huanhuan was stunned. “Xing Chen? Xing Chen isn’t here.”

The system shouted angrily, “It’s the male beast you were trying to protect just now! Isn’t he Xing Chen?!”

“But he told me his name was Ah Xing…”

“Ah Xing? You really believed him?!”

Huanhuan did not expect Ah Xing to be Xing Chen. She was very surprised, but when she thought about it carefully, the reason why she thought Ah Xing looked familiar was that he looked very similar to Xing Chen!

If one ignored the age difference, Ah Xing was almost the adult version of Xing Chen.

The more she thought about his words and actions along the way, the more she felt that he was Xing Chen.

Huanhuan immediately panicked. “Is he really Xing Chen? How did he suddenly grow so tall? The last time I saw him, he was only a child.”

“His main body was locked in the Sea of Illusions back then. His strength was suppressed, so he could only maintain the image of a youth forever. However, as long as he leaves the Sea of Illusions, he can return to his adult appearance. In other words, the Xing Chen you see now is his true appearance.”
