Chapter 1359: Ran for Nothing?
With Jiangnan's words fading, his body suddenly vanished from the encirclement!
Taking his place was Silver, appearing in the middle of the scene in a seated position!
A look of sudden realization remained on his face as he muttered to himself!
(O꒪꒫꒪) "So that's it! I had... Huh?"
At that moment, Silver plopped onto the ground, staring blankly at the people surrounding him in a circle!
(๑•̌.•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
What's going on?
Where is this? Wasn't I in the secret base?
And who are these people?
But before Silver could react, Xia Yao had already released the Polar Day Cloud Vortex!
A three-meter-diameter cloud vortex directly sealed Silver's spirit!
Silver's heart raced as he tried to stand and run, but what awaited him were three Large Green Sticks cracking his skull open!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Shards of glass flew everywhere. Silver was instantly dazed, experiencing a moment of disorientation!
Mila and Lan seized the opportunity to pounce, their golden middle fingers stabbing fiercely into Silver's body!
(ꐦʘ̆益ʘ̥̆ꐦ) "Eee—"
Silver's features twisted in agony as his whole body convulsed, unable to move!
Xia Yao swung a sack over Silver's head!
(ꐦ°᷄口°᷅) "Beat him!"
The next moment, Wu Liang and Xiong Er's fists, each as big as a clay pot, rained down on Silver's body, thudding loudly!
The Twin Bears were ecstatic—opportunities to gang up on a Star Glory-level expert like this were rare!
Xia Yao and Mila also squeezed their eyes shut, kicking wildly at the sack-covered Silver!
Lan maintained the paralysis!
For a while, the living room echoed with the sounds of punches and kicks!
Silver was beaten senseless, unable to even cry out!
What the hell is this?
Wasn't I safe? How did I get dragged here out of nowhere and beaten up?
And who are these people?
Damn it! Why do I end up getting beaten every single day?
[From Silver, Resentment Value +1000!]
[From...]
...
Meanwhile, at the snowy mountain secret base!
Lilith had her hand pressed against Silver's forehead, restoring his memory!
But suddenly, the Silver sitting on the bed transformed into Jiang Tianqing!
In that instant, everyone in the room widened their eyes, staring at Jiang Tianqing in shock!
What the hell? Isn't this the professional mage, Qingtian Pillar?
How did she...
Jiang Tianqing grinned, her gaze sweeping across the room!
(๐՞ᗜ՞๐) "Shit, motherfucker!"
"Trying to steal my thunder? You've got some nerve, don't you?"
As she spoke, she grabbed Lilith's hand and yanked her hard into her embrace!
Lilith panicked: "Mental—"
But before she could unleash her skill, Jiangnan delivered a heavy slap across her face!
ᥬ(￣ε(#￣)᭄٩(°᷄д°᷅ꐦ)
A crisp "Slap!" rang out, nearly knocking her head off!
Lilith staggered forward, and Jiangnan rammed his head into her forehead!
"Bang!"
Lilith's petite body shot out of the room like a cannonball!
Cullen erupted in fury, roaring as his bear paw slammed toward Jiangnan, a faint white glow beginning to emanate from his body!
But Jiangnan had already vanished!
"Slap!"
A single slap whipped up a cyclone, sending Cullen's massive form spinning into the wall with a crash!
His back molars flew out of his mouth!
Griffin, who had just regrown his arm, tried to rise, but Jiangnan teleported in front of him!
He raised his hand and slapped him into amnesia. The next second, Jiangnan delivered a straight kick hard into Griffin's chest!
(*‾́～‾́) "That's for last night—no need to thank me!"
The sickening crack of broken bones echoed as Griffin's chest caved in, his body blasted away like a cannonball!
Meanwhile, Kaili's whole body erupted in towering blue flames as she rushed toward Jiangnan at top speed!
But she stumbled, suddenly looking down!
Beneath her feet, countless strands of Spiritual Silk had coiled around her ankles. Just as she tried to elementalize and break free—
A Space Wormhole appeared right beside her cheek!
"Slap! Slap!"
Two slaps, one on each side, landed squarely on her face!
In less than three seconds since Jiangnan had swapped in, he had already slapped four people!
Bai Lian, sitting on a stool, broke out in a cold sweat as she raised her hands, looking innocently at Jiang Tianqing!
She squinted, offering a friendly smile!
ฅ(⌒◡⌒;)ฅ
"Can you not hit the face? I'm a medic—I didn't do anything!"
Jiang Tianqing grinned!
(๑･᷄◡･᷅) "I can go easy, but I still have to go through the motions!"
"Slap!"
A sharp crack rang out as Bai Lian's head turned to the side. The next moment, Jiang Tianqing had already vanished from the room!
She had Mark Teleported away!
In that instant, everyone in the room was utterly bewildered!
Lilith was the first to charge back inside!
Her cheek bore a huge handprint, and a massive red bump swelled on her forehead!
ᥬ(#)ᵒ̴̶̷̥́口ᵒ̴̶̷̣)᭄ "Where's Silver? He was just sitting on the bed—didn't we save him?"
"Big White! Why are you plastered on the wall?"
Cullen struggled hard to peel himself off the wall!
"How the hell should I know?"
Kaili crouched on the ground, rubbing both cheeks, her face filled with terror!
(#)･ˇ﹏ˇ･(#)
What just happened?
Griffin lay on the floor, coughing up blood, staring at his sunken chest and then at Bai Lian with red-rimmed eyes!
(ꐦᵒ̌ཀᵒ̌) "I just touched your thigh a moment ago—did you have to hit me that hard?"
Bai Lian covered her face, squinting with a smile!
(ﾉ)⌒_⌒) "So it was intentional?"
Lilith urged, "Forget that! Where's Silver?"
How could a living person just vanish? Was saving him last night all a dream?
No way—we were just talking!
But at that moment, a spirit butterfly suddenly appeared in the secret base room!
The next second, Hart and Mo Mo, along with hundreds of Signal Gun soldiers, materialized in the room!
Mo Mo quickly said, "Ababa!"
The Void Spirit Butterfly had just detected a large amount of spatial fluctuations here!
They had come straight over!
In an instant, Lilith, Cullen, and the others turned pale!
Damn it—it was the Signal Gun!
How ferocious were they, that they could take down everyone so fast we didn't even react?
No doubt—Mo Mo must have used her ability to snatch Silver away!
"Silver's done for! Run!"
Hart squinted: "These people are definitely connected to Silver! Seize them!"
Mo Mo nodded in agreement!
(๑●◠•́)و "Aba—"
But Hart was puzzled. Where did the spatial fluctuations come from?
Silver wasn't here—had another spatial system user snatched him?
Or was it the same group from last night?
A spatial system? He remembered that in the team of War God Tianqing from Hua Xia, there was a child suspected of being a spatial system user...
And a Pocket Rabbit...
Was it them?
...
Meanwhile, Jiangnan, who had Mark Teleported back to the hotel, suddenly appeared beside Silver!
He was met with loving iron fists from Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao!
Two punches straight to the face gave Jiangnan a pair of black eyes!
Jiangnan: !!!
(ง●⌂●)ง "It's me! It's me! Stop hitting! I'll go get the beautiful lady—we need to move to a safe place!"
"I'm afraid the Signal Gun will follow us!"
Saying that, he hurried to Katerina's room!
The others didn't delay. They stuffed Silver into a sack, and Wu Liang hoisted it onto his shoulder!
Jiangnan had used multiple spatial skills in the secret base, leaving the strongest fluctuations there!
Mo Mo would definitely check that spot first!
Here, he had only made two Mark Teleports, and the fluctuations were very faint. But it was still possible Mo Mo could track them!
He could guess that, based on the spatial fluctuations, Hart had already deduced it was their doing.
After all, only Lan the Pocket Rabbit from their side had spatial abilities in Blood Capital!
Which meant a city-wide search was coming next!
In the bathroom, Katerina was washing her hair, covered in foam. Despite the crashing sounds from next door, it didn't affect her washing of the blackness!
୧(๐˃̶～˂̶๐)୨ "Damn it! What the hell is this stuff? I've almost scrubbed my skin off, and it still won't come off!"
Just then, Jiang Tianqing kicked open the bathroom door!
(๐ὅ⌂ὅ) "Quick! Quick, come with me! The Signal Gun is closing in! We don't have much time!"
Katerina: ???
What the hell is closing in?
(づ˃̶⌂◔ิど) "Get... get out! I'm taking a shower! I'm not dressed! Aah—my eyes! My eyes!"
Katerina blinked, and soapy water flowed into her eyes, stinging as she rubbed them!
Jiang Tianqing urged, "What's there to be afraid of? We're both girls! Everything you have, I have too! And I have things you don't! What's there to see?"
"It's pitch black—I can't see anything anyway! Just get dressed and retreat!"
Katerina was pulled out of the bathroom by Jiangnan to get dressed, utterly bewildered!
(´ﾟ～ﾟ) ?
You have things I don't? What are you, some kind of wonder?
Who do you think made me this black?
[From Katerina, Resentment Value +1000!]
But time was tight. Katerina hurriedly threw on some clothes, not even rinsing the foam from her hair, and rushed out!
In the corridor, the group evacuated at top speed!
Then she saw Silver slung over Wu Liang's shoulder!
Katerina: ???
What the hell? Wasn't Silver snatched by another group last night?
How did they catch him again?
I was only in the shower for a minute—how did you guys move so fast?!
Jiangnan and the others left the hotel and bolted straight for the outskirts of the city!
They didn't plan to keep hiding in the city. Under the Signal Gun's search, they would be found no matter where they hid!
Instead, they headed straight for the snowy mountain—toward Silver and his team's secret base!
As the old saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest!
After the Signal Gun finished their raid there, they wouldn't suspect it again!
Hiding there would be the safest. Once they leave, we move in!
Ah, how nice~
Sure enough, just seven or eight minutes after Jiangnan and the others left!
The Void Spirit Butterfly appeared, followed by Hart and Mo Mo!
Along with a squad of Signal Gun soldiers in the hotel room!
Lilith, Cullen, and the other five were covered in blood, subdued by the Signal Gun—already captives!
Hart frowned: "Already moved on? Fast moves."
"Notify everyone: full city search for Luo Tianqing and her team. Silver might be in their hands."
"Mo Mo, keep sensing spatial fluctuations. If you can pinpoint their location, even better."
"Move out!"
