FVN Chapter 341 Something's Fishy
Chapter 341 Something's Fishy
"We'll take action at midnight!"
Ye Jiu nodded, not saying much, but his heart was filled with endless anticipation for what was to happen that night.
As night fell, the entire forest was pitch-black, where you could hardly see your hand in front of your face.
Ye Ling and Ye Jiu, dressed in black night clothes, moved through the jungle like ghosts, darting from shadow to shadow.
They crouched near a large boulder not far from the gate, observing the movement inside.
The searchlights swept back and forth, leaving no suspicious trace unchecked.
Squads of soldiers from the Flag Nation patrolled back and forth, their spirits undiminished by the night, showing no sign of weariness.
The round-the-clock patrols made it clear just how much importance the Flag Nation placed on Demon Dragon Island!
Ye Ling checked his watch, silently calculating the time in his head.
The two lay prone on the ground, not moving an inch.
An hour later, Ye Ling took a deep breath, his eyes sharp as a hawk's as he looked ahead and murmured,
"Ye Jiu, get ready!"
Hearing this, Ye Jiu carefully crawled onto Ye Ling's back, his gaze intense as he looked forward!
At the three-hundred-meter corridor, two teams were changing shifts, and the searchlight had just swept past the gate.
Ye Ling moved!@@@@
At that moment, he activated his Spiritual Energy, wrapping it around his legs, and his body shot off like a cannonball, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye.
His speed was so fast that Ye Jiu, lying on Ye Ling's back, only felt a sharp pain coursing through his body.
It was the severe pain from the intense friction between the flesh and the air due to the extreme speed!
Like a gust of wind passing by, not even a shadow was left behind!
The changing soldiers only felt a chill breeze against their faces, sensing something was amiss. They looked around with vigilance.
After a moment, not detecting any issue, they led their troops away, slowly.
In the hidden corner of a dead angle, Ye Ling sat on the ground, panting heavily, his face somewhat pale and his back soaked with sweat at that moment.
His whole body trembled slightly, a sign of being utterly drained!
Just now, Ye Ling had unleashed the fastest speed he had ever achieved!
He had managed to cross the three hundred meters in just five seconds without incident, but the downside was the excessive consumption of Spiritual Energy!
"I need a moment to rest!"
Ye Ling made a hand gesture, then sat down cross-legged like a meditating monk.
Ye Jiu looked at Ye Ling and also took a deep breath.
The closer Ye Ling got, the more astonished he became.
As they moved forward, the temperature here gradually dropped.
Though imperceptible, how could it escape Ye Ling's notice?
"Be careful!"
Ye Ling warned, heading straight to the cave entrance without getting a clear view of the cave's situation.
Before they could see inside, both of them shivered uncontrollably, with Ye Jiu's reaction being more exaggerated. At that moment, he couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably, his entire body ice-cold.
It was as if they were standing in a millennia-old frost cellar, shivering severely.
It wasn't until Ye Ling transferred a strand of Spiritual Energy to Ye Jiu that his condition somewhat improved.
Ye Ling looked toward the cave, pitch-black and bottomless!
It felt as if an invisible pair of hands were pulling them, urgently wanting the two of them to enter.
Upon closer sniff, the air was pervaded by a pungent scent of blood, which instantly put them on alert.
"Something's fishy!"
Ye Ling whispered softly.
He had just thought about extending his Divine Sense to take a look inside, but at that moment, a rustling of footsteps came from the distance.
Ye Ling made a gesture and immediately, the two hid in the shadows.
Sure enough, several figures appeared in the line of sight of Ye Ling and Ye Jiu.
The person in the lead was wearing some bizarre white attire, followed by several fully armed soldiers.
But what shocked Ye Ling the most was the hostage in the soldiers' hands — it was Li Man!
How did she end up here?
What was even stranger was that she had been kidnapped!
That shouldn't be possible! By rights, shouldn't all the assassins from Xue Luo Palace be extremely formidable?
Ye Jiu and Ye Ling exchanged a glance and unanimously decided to keep things as they were, responding to changes with constancy.
The group stopped not far from the cave, and then the man dressed in strange white attire quickly approached the entrance of the cave.
He was speaking in a language that Ye Ling and Ye Jiu couldn't understand, knitting their brows tightly at this moment.
After a while, the man in white gestured broadly, and the soldiers behind him, catching his signal, started dragging Li Man towards them.
At this time, the man in the white attire's expression became extremely pious, giving a deep bow to the cave's entrance.
Then, he made a gesture to the soldiers, seemingly issuing some sort of order.
Understanding him, the soldiers dragged Li Man to the cave, reverently performing a ritual in front of the cavern, mumbling words that were unintelligible.
