It was clear that the White-Clad Leader lacked confidence. It wasn't that he doubted Wang Long and Jiang Xue's abilities, but rather their character. What if they were just using him to attract the attention of that beast and then escaped at the opportunity? He would be completely played.
However, he couldn't voice this doubt; after all, they held his life in their hands! He believed there was still a chance to fight back, but if he didn't trust them, he wouldn't even have the opportunity for a desperate strike.
Suddenly, at that moment, they began to feel the pull of the Vortex weakening.
Just as they sensed something was off, it unexpectedly vanished almost instantly!
Although they had been on guard, the abrupt change in force caught them off guard.
"Blade Slash!" Fearing that the White-Clad Leader might not react in time, Wang Long shouted a warning.
"Supreme Dragon Slash!" The White-Clad Leader flipped his wrist and with astonishing speed, his long sword flew forth, unleashing a sword aura that roared with dragon might. Unable to determine the direction of the monster's attack in that instant, he sealed off all directions opposite to the Vortex with a sword aura.
"Roar!" Sure enough! At the moment he struck, the beast lunged beside him and was momentarily blocked by his sword aura.
At this time, Wang Long and Jiang Xue arrived.
"Shen Walking Dragon Technique! Six-Sided Wall!" Wang Long and Jiang Xue still held hands tightly. They felt that although their Spiritual Essence was suppressed by that mysterious Extraordinary Treasure outside, the Spiritual Essence flowing within them faced no such issue.
The powerful Spiritual Essence formed a Vortex between the two of them, releasing Spiritual Essence with rotational force. Although its stability was greatly reduced, it successfully overcame the suppression of that Extraordinary Treasure, allowing their Shen Walking Dragon Technique to unleash eighty percent of its power!
"Roar!" Just as it intended to strike again while the White-Clad Leader's sword aura faded, it suddenly found itself trapped in a small space enclosed by six transparent crystals!
Completely immobilized!
"Uh!" At this moment, the White-Clad Leader finally reacted. He looked up and saw the furious beast glaring at him, causing him to leap back in fright.
"You two are just planning to trap it like this?" The White-Clad Leader observed the beast before him carefully. It had fully emerged from the wall, allowing him to see its entire form.
It resembled a gigantic, elongated lizard, appearing extremely ferocious and exuding a deep aura of bloodlust. It was clear that it had already harmed many living beings. Before they arrived, it might have been surviving on various wild beasts.
Although it was currently caught in Wang Long and Jiang Xue's Shen Walking Dragon Technique, it was not bound in any way. If it suddenly attacked, he might not be able to react in time.
"What do you think?" Wang Long and Jiang Xue were not worried at all. Even if it was only at eighty percent power, the Shen Walking Dragon Technique would keep such a simple-minded beast contained for years without concern of it breaking free.
Jiang Xue understood what Wang Long was asking: "It probably has the strength of a peak Dragon Bone Realm beast, and it's even faster and more unpredictable. I really don't know how it managed to hide within the wall. Fortunately, it didn't attack us earlier; otherwise, with our powers suppressed, we might not have been able to dodge its attacks completely."
"That's just its bad luck. Hey, what are you afraid of? We're right next to you; it can't hurt you."
The White-Clad Leader's face flushed red. Now that his mood had calmed down and he recalled their previous relationship, he felt even more embarrassed. He pretended to be composed as he stepped forward but instinctively kept his distance from the beast that had nearly taken his life: "I'm not afraid of anything; it's just that our powers are suppressed right now, so we have to be cautious. Ahem, I really appreciate your help earlier."
Wang Long shook his head: "What a bridge-burning move! Just one sentence and that's it? Not even a thank you? Forget it; I won't hold it against you. Now let me ask you, who are you exactly? What are you doing here? And tell me everything you know about this cave and the Extraordinary Treasure."
The White-Clad Leader hesitated for a moment but then saw Jiang Xue approaching him with an unfriendly expression, conveniently allowing him to see the beast behind her.
"Uh, I’ll tell you," he said. Although he had temporarily escaped danger, he knew that if these two experts wanted to kill him, they had plenty of ways to do so. He dared not play any tricks: "We are the White Robe Team of the Dragon Leap Clan. We specialize in outer circle reconnaissance missions and also collect Extraordinary Treasures from various places for future wealth or materials for refining weapons. I'm the captain of the fourth team. I heard about the Extraordinary Treasure here, so I came looking for it but ended up being suppressed by the forces here and had no choice but to seek help from the Giant Clan. There, I've said everything."
"You're quite detailed in your explanation," Wang Long said sarcastically. "It seems you almost managed to fool the Dragon Leap Clan. Well, Jiang Xue, let's not waste any more words with him; let's go outside, close the door, and release the beast!"
"Wait, both of you, let's talk this out."
"Talk it out? You seem to have forgotten how you knew about the cave behind that stone wall. And there are so many forks in this maze; without our means, how could you find this place so quickly? You don't even have a name for it; that's really lacking sincerity, don't you think? Do you really take us for fools?"
The leader of the White Robe Team was sweating profusely; these two were not easy to deceive. "I am Lin Yuechang. We came here because we received precise intelligence that there is an extraordinarily powerful Extraordinary Treasure here. We also understand its characteristics and conditions. This time, our Dragon Head requested a favor from the Giant Clan's Giant Spirit God and sent a Rada along with a team from the Giant Clan to assist us. The general map of this palace was also provided by that person."
"That person must be a high-ranking member of your Dragon Leap Clan, or perhaps it's that Dragon Head?" Wang Long was taken aback by this strange title. It was quite similar to his own title of Dragon Head. If they didn't reach an agreement in the end, it might lead to conflict just because of this title.
"Yes, the Dragon Head is extremely powerful and holds significant status. With him personally involved, the Giant Clan would have no choice but to agree. As for this Extraordinary Treasure, I know it truly is extraordinary; I've only heard from the Dragon Head that it possesses suppressive energy. Even top experts would be affected if they tried to seize it. We plan to take advantage of their weakened state and escape with our superior numbers."
"Heh, taking advantage of superior numbers?" Wang Long sneered. Facing top experts, could such an Extraordinary Treasure really have that kind of miraculous effect?
