Chapter 477: Chapter 380: Kill Any Who Come
"Ambush them here? Aren’t we being a bit too arrogant?" Lin Feng asked with some uncertainty.
After taking down those Nether Spirit cultivators who were pursuing them, they originally thought that Bai Zhirui would immediately move to another place as she did before.
The battle scars here are so evident, won’t those Nether Spirit guys be on guard for sure?
The effect of the ambush would naturally be greatly reduced.
In fact, Bai Zhirui had the same doubts as Lin Feng.
"Master, look, even Lin Feng, who’s usually a bit single-minded, knows the enemy will have some precautions."
"We’re still thinking of dealing with them here, is there really no problem?"
Zheng Yi at the other end of the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror smiled confidently: "You’re overthinking it, precisely because there are battle scars here, they won’t be on high alert."
"Those who can track us now must have passed the place of our last battle to catch up with us."
"They’re in front, and will spend a lot of time, not just because of the Illusion Array we deliberately set up, but also the previous pursuer must have left plenty of misleading traps."
"To find our true position among so many clues will take them a lot more time."
"Moreover, after knowing we took down those experts, they should be even more convinced that we have incredible treasures in our possession."
"In their eyes, all they see is the treasure, nothing else."
"The ones who come later will only think about catching up with us quickly and how to create trouble for those behind them."
"They won’t consider that after two fierce battles, we would still have the strength to turn back and deal with them."
Bai Zhirui shared "her" analysis with Lin Feng and Su Yao.
Though both of them were still somewhat worried, feeling this might be too risky.
But Bai Zhirui had already led them to victory twice over powerful enemies, they were still willing to trust Bai Zhirui’s analysis.
In the end, Bai Zhirui gave them a boost of confidence: "And don’t forget, those who managed to catch up with us at the start are most likely rather powerful. The weaker cultivators should have been lured to other places."
"So, the strength of the pursuers may get progressively weaker."
Lin Feng was speechless: "Fellow Daoist Bai, in that case, we might as well take them down directly, why bother..."
This time, even without Zheng Yi’s explanation, Bai Zhirui had already said: "Naturally, to eliminate as many enemies as possible with the least cost."
"This batch of pursuers is much stronger than those who ambushed you before. Those so-called ’Twin Demons’ earlier, if not for the sneak attack, how much would it have cost to take them down?"
Sometimes a point needs just enough elaboration, after all, Lin Feng and Su Yao aren’t fools.
The three followed Bai Zhirui, or rather, Zheng Yi’s guidance once more to hide and make it seem as though they’ve already left.
This time, the enemy was much slower than they anticipated in arriving.
The three, bored, communicated through Divine Sense.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, why was it that when you mentioned my Magical Artifact’s name earlier, it was different from the name we discussed before?"
Lin Feng replied awkwardly: "I accidentally forgot, so I made one up on the spot."
Su Yao’s laughter rang out: "Brother Lin, as a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, how can you forget even a name."
Lin Feng retorted irritably: "Then how about next time, Junior Sister Su plays my part, you wouldn’t know how awkward it is to chant that Magical Artifact’s name."
Su Yao covered her mouth and laughed lightly: "But I think you did rather well, Brother Lin. Such an important task is best left to you."
The three of them casually chatted here, also to relax their minds.
Since being found by those Nether Spirit pursuers, they’ve either been on the run or in battle, or healing and preparing for combat.
Their spirits have been constantly taut.
Waiting for the enemy to enter their encirclement should be their only chance to breathe during this period.
All were accomplished cultivators, naturally knowing when to relax themselves.
To avoid causing themselves issues by being overly tense.
The three had just chatted for a bit when they sensed the enemy’s presence.
Immediately collecting their thoughts, ready to face the enemy.
The eastern side of the cave was where the entrance was, at this moment a huge black shadow was swiftly and silently rushing through.
Soon, Bai Zhirui and the others were able to clearly see the outline of this thing.
It was undoubtedly a giant spider, the size of half a room.
This spider was kaleidoscopically colored all over, its eight legs ran fast on the stalactites inside the cave.
In the blink of an eye, it had reached the place where the three were engaging in battle.
Up close, this spider was even more terrifying, furry all over, its huge abdomen bore a terrifying pattern resembling a jester’s mask.
Looking at that pattern for a few seconds, it made one feel as if the pattern was staring back and grinning ominously.
The giant spider stopped, and seven Nether Spirit cultivators jumped down from it.
One of them, with an insect’s head, waved, and the giant spider shrank out of thin air to the size of a palm, which was then put into an insect cage by them.
Working in perfect harmony, they soon began searching all around.
"No mistake, it’s the aura of those humans."
