Such a tricky trap seemed to be resolved so easily.
However, at that moment, the corpses that had been dazed from not finding a target suddenly sprang into action again, charging fiercely at the earthen walls as if they intended to topple them with their own flesh and blood. Yet they were fast, but Wang Long's wind blades were faster, shooting out one after another from behind the walls.
However, this time, hitting them did not shatter them as directly as before.
After being struck by the wind blades, the corpses suddenly swelled up completely, then burst apart in a violent explosion, enveloping the entire area in a green mist of blood!
The warriors who had just been cheering were instantly dumbfounded.
Of course, the earthen walls would not be penetrated by the blood mist, but the problem was whether they could withstand such a powerful explosion! As long as a crack was blown open, the blood mist would seep through and turn Wang Long trapped inside into a poisoned being!
Heh heh, did you really think our painstakingly set trap could be so easily broken?
In a corner where no one could see, someone revealed a cold smile.
This time even Cai Burin did not dare to have absolute confidence in Wang Long. He slashed through the outer corpses as best he could and nervously watched the green mist of blood from a distance.
Slowly, the blood mist dispersed, allowing everyone to see what was inside.
However, what met their eyes left everyone momentarily stunned before erupting into cheers!
The earthen walls summoned by Wang Long had indeed been blown away for the most part, but inside, Wang Long had somehow raised a wind barrier and a Water Elemental Shield! Even if the blood mist seeped through the earthen walls, it was directly swept away by the wind barrier and could not harm Wang Long through the Water Elemental Shield.
Cai Burin and Mr. Fan, both skilled experts, were extremely surprised by Wang Long's strength.
In terms of technique, none of Wang Long's moves were particularly powerful, but in that perilous moment just now, he simultaneously executed three defensive maneuvers. Without sufficient strength and understanding of Foundation Spiritual Essence, it would have been impossible to achieve that!
Cai Burin was somewhat better off, as he had a clear understanding of Wang Long's abilities. However, Mr. Fan, who had always placed Wang Long beneath Cai Burin's significant status, could not help but reevaluate Wang Long's strength in his mind.
Wang Long observed that the Toxic Corpses around him had all perished under the attacks from him and Cai Burin. The Wind Elemental Power dispersed them, forming a much weaker but broader cyclone that swept the surrounding blood-colored toxic mist into the sky, leaving nothing behind as he made his way outside.
"Great! Wang Long's strength is indeed remarkable; it has truly opened our eyes!" Hua Ruhai was the first to bounce over. Previously, he had underestimated Wang Long and failed to recognize his potential for collaboration. Now he rushed over to make amends for future cooperation.
"These are just some powerless poisoned villagers. If I were truly surrounded by so many experts, I would be doomed," Wang Long did not acknowledge how impressive his abilities were, maintaining his usual low profile.
Although after revealing this skill today it would be impossible for him to remain unnoticed like before, he still aimed to keep others from seeing through his true strength. This way, the next time he took action, it wouldn't be too hasty.
"Alright everyone, this is not the time to discuss these matters. Yue Chen, I told you we shouldn't have come here to investigate. You insisted on pushing forward, and now our warriors from Fire Mountain City have been injured; even Wang Long nearly lost his life in the enemy's siege. I hope you six can reflect on this and follow our arrangements without causing so much trouble along the way."
"Mr. Fan really excels at shifting blame," Yue Chen frowned but said nothing. However, his companion Li Bi was less accommodating and coldly remarked, "Although it was our idea to send everyone to this village for inspection, the original intention was to help the villagers here. Moreover, your approval was required for everyone to disperse into the village for searching; now you're turning your back on us? Truly worthy of being a big shot from Fire Mountain City!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Hmph! You know exactly what I mean; I'm saying exactly what I mean!"
Seeing both sides arguing heatedly and nearing a breaking point, Cai Burin felt overwhelmed and walked over to Wang Long's side. "It seems that listening to Hua Ruhai about participating in this mission was a mistake. Not only will there be fewer enemies for me later on, but they might end up fighting among themselves. How about we just withdraw? According to Mr. Fan, this area around Feather City has been heavily plundered by the Demon Clan Army; with our combined strength, I doubt any fool would dare provoke us!"
"That last wave of attacks was clearly aimed at me."
"What? Do you agree with my brother's words... uh, what did you say?" Cai Burin just realized that Wang Long's statement was completely unrelated to his suggestion. "Why are you bringing this up again? Isn't it obvious? Just look at how those corpses rushed towards you; even a fool can see that you were their target!"
"Oh?" A playful smile appeared on Wang Long's face. "But don't you think Mr. Fan and those Six Mysterious Figures seem oblivious? Both sides are arguing, drawing everyone's attention to that, yet no one has asked why I became the hidden enemy's target."
Cai Burin's gaze sharpened, and his voice involuntarily lowered significantly. "Are you suggesting that this might be a trap orchestrated by one of them?"
Wang Long nodded slightly. "Don't you find the previous events very strange? It was the Six Mysterious Figures who proposed coming to this village for an inspection, and it was Yue Chen who suggested that everyone disperse into the village to search for so-called treasures, stirring up everyone's greed. And what about Mr. Fan? He initially opposed coming to this village, but as Li Bi said, he later agreed to the request for everyone to spread out in the village."
"That only makes those six people more suspicious; what does it have to do with Mr. Fan? He might just be blinded by the potential treasures," Cai Burin said, somewhat confused.
"Inconsistent reactions!" Wang Long asserted. "Don't forget, Mr. Fan opposed our coming to this village because he feared potential dangers and traps we couldn't handle. So how could the prospect of treasures—whose existence is still uncertain—make him disregard all those potential dangers in a village filled with corpses? The contrast is too stark!"
"Uh, that makes sense," Cai Burin recalled the previous situation and indeed found it as Wang Long described. "But...," he felt his mind was a bit overwhelmed, "but doesn't that mean there are suddenly two groups of suspects? Moreover, Mr. Fan has been an elder in Fire Mountain City for years; he shouldn't be colluding with these mysterious people, right?"
"That's something I still can't figure out. However, I have a feeling they are all connected to these continuous attacks, and we must not leave this group; otherwise, we might become targets for both sides!"
