Chapter 50: The New Neighbor Shows Their Might
“Boss Zhao, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but how can I ensure you won’t betray me after this is over?”
Zhao Feng’s aged face, full of wrinkles, smiled and said, “If Boss Quan doesn’t trust me, you can bring in another connection. With several forces from your Hai Shi joining, you won’t be afraid of me, someone from Shang Jing, will you?”
Looking at Zhao Feng like this, it seemed he genuinely just wanted to retrieve his supplies, but to the point where he was willing to share them to find them, just how much had this woman named Sang Chu taken!
Zhao Feng saw him scrutinizing him and smiled, “Boss Quan, Sang Chu and another woman are both Space Ability Users.”
If he said so, then Sang Chu must be!
Two Space Ability Users!
Quan Jian was shocked.
This was probably enough to take away a lot of things!
Quan Jian said, “Alright, as long as Boss Zhao keeps his word, I’ll help you deal with the traitor. Wait a moment, I’ll find someone to notify Liu Cong, Boss Liu. The three of us from our bases will search together. Even if we have to scour that entire mountain, we’ll find them!”
Zhao Feng replied, “Good, as long as I can find that bitch Sang Chu, I’ll split the recovered supplies equally with both of you Bosses!”
Quan Jian said, “You’re too kind, Boss Zhao. Boss Zhao, you must be tired from your long journey. You should go and rest first. After Boss Liu arrives, we’ll discuss how to deal with Sang Chu!”
“Okay, I’ll listen to Boss Quan’s arrangements.”
Quan Jian called for someone to escort Zhao Feng and his group to rest.
Watching Zhao Feng and his group leave, Jue Ming walked to Quan Jian’s side and said, “Big Brother, Zhao Feng’s words are not very trustworthy, are they?”
Quan Jian replied, “Zhao Feng never cooperates with others. For him to come here now, it must be because this woman named Sang Chu is very troublesome. I’m afraid it’s not just that she’s a Space Ability User as he claims. Otherwise, how could he, a Level Three Supernatural Ability User, let Sang Chu, a Space Ability User, escape.”
“Then what do we do now?”
Quan Jian sneered, “He wants us to exert ourselves to help him find Sang Chu so he can reap the benefits in the end. Then let him die first. You go and speak to Brother Cong personally. After we find out the location of Sang Chu and the others’ mountain top, we’ll find a way to join forces and eliminate Zhao Feng and his group. Afterward, our two families will split it.”
Jue Ming said, “That’s a good plan, Big Brother. Just wait, I’ll go find Brother Cong right now.”
No one knew that Liu Cong and Quan Jian were biological brothers. On the surface, the bases they established were merely adjacent, and they had no excessive personal interactions, but in reality, their relationship was very close.
When Liu Cong saw Jue Ming, he was taken aback for a moment. Under normal circumstances, Jue Ming would not come to find him.
“Jue Ming? What is it that you need from me, Third Brother?”
Jue Ming explained in detail what Zhao Feng had said. Liu Cong agreed without much hesitation:
“Zhao Feng can establish a foothold in Shang Jing without exchanging supplies with outsiders, so he must have a lot of things. For him to seek cooperation, Sang Chu must have something good on her. Go tell Third Brother that I’ll bring people over immediately!”
“Okay, Brother Cong, I’ll go back and tell Boss right away!”
When Jue Ming returned to the base, he didn’t notice the zombie lurking in the grass, its eyes flashing with a faint red glow. It instantly turned invisible and followed behind him.
Every move they made was under Zhao Feng’s surveillance.
“They are in this place?”
“Aren’t the mutated plants here a bit too lush!”
Following Zhao Feng to the mountain where Sang Chu and the others’ base was, they looked at the dense, all-encompassing jungle, and a group of people looked at each other in dismay.
Even if they didn’t come here to clear out the mutated plants, they wouldn’t have grown to this extent, they didn’t know!
Zhu Mao whispered into Zhao Feng’s ear, “Big Brother, these mutated plants are not right. They are even more lush than when we came earlier.”
Zhao Feng nodded slightly, “Let our people be careful. If necessary…”
He glanced at Quan Jian and the others, then winked at Zhu Mao. Zhu Mao understood, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his lips as he nodded, then immediately informed his brother of Zhao Feng’s plan.
Quan Jian and Liu Cong walked in front. Although they didn’t hear Zhao Feng’s words, they were very vigilant.
Liu Cong said, “A Mu, take some people to clear out these mutated plants.”
“Understood, Boss. You guys, follow me!”
A Mu selected about ten ability users to follow him to clear the area. As soon as they entered the jungle, they vanished without a trace.
Time passed, but there was no sound.
The faint light under the Blood Moon made it impossible to see what was happening inside.
Quan Jian frowned, “Why has A Mu been in there for so long? Jue Ming, you take some people in to check as well.”
“Okay.”
Jue Ming led a team of people in, but they too vanished without a trace.
Quan Jian asked, “Brother Cong, what’s going on?”
Liu Cong looked at Zhao Feng beside him and said, “Brother Zhao, our people went in and haven’t come out. You didn’t do anything, did you!”
Zhao Feng replied, “Do I have that much free time? I only want what Sang Chu stole. Why would I harm you!”
Liu Cong said, “In that case, please trouble Brother Zhao’s men to help clear out the mutated plants as well. Otherwise, if only our people go in and don’t come out, it’s hard not to suspect you!”
Zhao Feng said, “Since you know that going in means not coming out, then think of another way. There’s no need to keep sending people to their deaths!”
There must be a trap inside. Even if there wasn’t, he wouldn’t let his own people go in.
Liu Cong’s sinister eyes stared intently at Zhao Feng.
Suddenly,
A voice came from inside, “Brother Cong, Brother Quan, we’ve cleared a small area inside. You guys come in and rest for a bit.”
“Brother Quan, these mutated plants are too difficult to clear. You guys come in and rest for a bit, we’ll continue clearing further inside.”
After speaking, their voices seemed to disappear again.
For a moment, Liu Cong and Quan Jian didn’t know whether to go in or retreat.
Zhao Feng glanced at Liu Cong and the others, and took a small step back.
Who knew,
Then they heard Liu Cong and Quan Jian’s men shout loudly, “Boss, look!”
“Boss, these plants, the plants!!!”
The serrated vines grew rapidly, and it was unclear where they came from. They suddenly surrounded them all.
Zhao Feng shouted, “Go!”
He couldn’t care about anything else and quickly called his brothers, turning to leave.
“Ah—”
Tragic screams echoed one after another.
Zhao Feng turned his head to look. Those serrated vines were like agile venomous snakes, attacking people.
One whip down, and blood splattered everywhere.
“Boss! Save me!!”
Zhu Ling shouted in terror,
He was currently trapped by a vine that had bound his legs and hands.
His back was pressed against the ground.
Zhao Feng quickly condensed his Golden Saber and slashed at the vine.
He was sweating profusely, but the vine didn’t budge.
Bang—
Zhu Ling was actually torn apart by the vines, and blood splattered all over his face!
The sudden critical blow stunned Zhao Feng.
Seeing the vines, after having their fill, coming towards him,
Zhao Feng’s supernatural abilities were unleashed madly, as if he didn’t care about his life!
But these mutated plants were completely immune to supernatural abilities.
Fire, ice, golden saber, dagger, and vines were all used.
But more and more people were dying.
Zhao Feng wanted to run, but a vine grabbed his waist. He instinctively turned and slashed, and the vine shattered.
