Chapter 483 Sneak Attack
Huang Xiner's face was filled with anger. She kicked the big tree next to her, causing the bark to fall off. She gnashed her teeth and cursed, "Damn it, where did these people go!"
Shui Wanqin frowned and analyzed calmly: "Maybe they have left the Oblivion Forest. Since they were able to snatch the fairy fruit from under our noses and successfully escape the pursuit of the Fire Demon Tiger, they must have a lot of tricks. Maybe they left when we were not paying attention."
As she spoke, she gently adjusted her sleeves, trying to make herself look more calm.
Yan Xiao had a worried look on his face, his eyes darting back and forth between the two of them, and he asked anxiously, "What should we do next? Should we give up on the mission of the Immortal Fruit?"
He knew that there was only one fairy fruit tree growing in the Oblivion Forest. If he wanted to complete the task, he would have to spend a lot of time finding out where else the fairy fruit was growing, which was not an easy task.
Huang Xiner heard this and retorted without hesitation: "No, I won't be able to swallow this anger if I don't find them."
Shui Wanqin sighed helplessly and patiently advised: "Let's go back and take other tasks first. We only took this one task during our trip. Now that the task items are gone, there is no point in continuing to waste time here. We can only give up and take another task."
Huang Xiner was silent for a long time, the anger in her heart still burning, but she also understood that what Shui Wanqin said made sense.
Finally, she glared around fiercely and said unwillingly: "Okay, I'll go back first. But I will definitely remember this account, and I will never let them go next time I meet them!"
After saying that, she turned around, with a trace of reluctance and anger, and walked out of the forest with Shui Wanqin, Yan Xiao and others, and her figure gradually disappeared in the dense jungle.
Watching the backs of Huang Xiner and the others going away, Gu Er was extremely conflicted. After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Young Master, do you really not need our help? We are really worried about letting you and the young lady take risks like this."
Gu Li turned around and said softly, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, Yun Xi and I will be able to come."
Gu Er frowned, but couldn't help but said, "But the opponent is much stronger than us. If anything goes wrong with you, we..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Yunxi took over the conversation and said confidently: "We are not going to confront them head-on, so just learn from them."
Even though he was worried, Gu Er couldn't say anything.
He sighed helplessly, and he and Gu Qi and Gu Shisan could only follow from a distance, staring closely at Gu Li and Mu Yunxi as they quietly moved towards those people.
When they were about to get close to Huang Xiner and the others, Gu Li and Mu Yunxi quickly took out the concealment talisman from their arms, and their figures gradually disappeared into the air, as if they had never appeared.
Gu Li gently touched the small vine wrapped around his wrist and said, "Go, just sleep for three breaths."
The little vine twisted its body happily and gave a crisp response: "No problem."
After saying that, the entire vine burrowed into the soil, like a nimble little snake, quickly approaching those people, at a speed so fast that it was difficult to detect.
Song Jiangmo was walking when he suddenly frowned and stopped. He looked around vigilantly with suspicion in his eyes and whispered, "Something is wrong. I feel like something is watching us."
Upon hearing this, Shui Wanqin also stopped and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" As she spoke, she looked around, trying to find anything unusual.
However, before Song Jiangmo could answer, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook violently, and countless vines with sharp barbs broke out of the ground.
Like crazy pythons, they instantly tied their feet tightly.
The faces of several people turned pale in an instant. The pain in their feet was like a sharp blade, almost making them unable to stand steadily.
They struggled desperately, but found that the vines were getting tighter and tighter, the barbs pierced deeply into the skin, and blood slowly flowed down their calves.
Seeing this, Mu Yunxi's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and she quickly activated a formation ball with swift movements.
Just as the vines were about to be shattered, a medium-sized binding array emitting faint light fell accurately above them like a large net.
Runes flickered within the formation, and the powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy made the trapped people feel suffocated.
Huang Xiner was shocked and angry, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Whoever dares to attack us, get out! If you have the guts, don't hide!"
Seeing that they were successfully tied up, Gu Li immediately used his body skills and quickly approached them like a black lightning.
Her fist was wrapped in rich spiritual power, and with a whistling sound, she rushed towards Shui Wanqin beside her.
Although Shui Wanqin's movements and the use of her spiritual power were affected by the formation, her level was higher than Gu Li after all. Before Gu Li hit her, she reacted quickly with her keen perception and rich combat experience.
She quickly mobilized the spiritual power in her body and shot out a dazzling beam of spiritual power, heading straight towards Gu Li.
The beam of light was like a sharp sword, cutting through the air and making a sharp whistling sound.
Gu Li's eyes flashed, he tapped his feet lightly, his body was as light as willow catkins, and he cleverly dodged the fatal blow by turning sideways.
The beam of spiritual power brushed past the corner of her clothes and brought up a gust of wind.
Huang Xiner looked at the masked attacker in front of her, her eyes wide open, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Well, I didn't come to find you, but you came to me to seek death. No one will leave alive today!"
At this moment, an extremely thin vine silently pierced into their bodies.
The six people only felt a slight numbness coming from deep inside their bodies, but soon returned to normal.
They had no idea that the extremely precious space rings in their hands had quietly disappeared.
Gu Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile, and said softly: "Goodbye."
Before she finished her words, she retreated from the range of the formation like a ghost and ran quickly into the forest.
Her figure shuttled among the trees like a black phantom, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
"Don't run!" Seeing this, Huang Xiner chased in the direction where she disappeared regardless of everything.
However, just after she took a few steps, she was bounced back by the powerful force of the formation and fell heavily to the ground.
She struggled to get up, but found herself trapped in this area and unable to get out no matter what.
Yan Xiao suddenly shouted in horror: "My space ring is gone!"
Hearing this, Shui Wanqin quickly looked at her hands, her face instantly turning pale: "Me too."
When the others heard this, they also checked the rings on their hands, and sure enough, they had disappeared without a trace.
Huang Xiner was so angry that she was shaking all over, and she roared, "Damn it, how dare you rob us. I must get back at you for this!"
Song Jiangmo's face was terribly gloomy. He had never suffered such a loss in his life, and the anger in his heart was about to erupt like a volcano.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Break the formation first, and then settle the score with them. We can't just let today's matter go!"
The six people began to attack the formation frantically, trying to break free from the constraints of the formation.
