After the Breakup I Took It Easy and Became Invincible Chapter 154 : Chapter 154

Chapter 154. Triggering a Beast Tide to Kill ? Then I’ll Beat Him at His Own Ga

That morning, the Great Rift Valley was shrouded in a layer of white mist. Visibility was so poor that once soone was three ters away, their figure beca impossible to make out clearly.

Jiang Feng stared at the silhouette ahead in the fog. Just as he was about to press the disc, Chu Xingchen suddenly walked over.

“Jiang Feng, hurry up and keep up. Don’t fall behind. The fog is thick, and it’s easy to lose your sense of direction.”

Jiang Feng imdiately hid his hand behind his back and nodded with an unnatural expression.

Walking beside Chu Xingchen, he asked, “If a comrade were in danger, and you couldn’t win but you could still escape, what would you do?”

Chu Xingchen paused and turned to look at him. “Running isn’t my style. Just like Outpost Commander Feng, even when facing powerful Demonic Beasts on the border, they never gave up a single inch of our land.”

The answer did not surprise Jiang Feng.

To be honest, he really did not want Chu Xingchen to get dragged into this. He did not care whether Jiang Yichen, Su Linyu, and Tang Long died in the Beast Tide. He was only sowhat conflicted over whether doing this was right or wrong.

But Chu Xingchen... during the past half month of training, he had always looked out for him and tried to help him blend into the team.

Jiang Yichen and the others all disliked him. Only Chu Xingchen kept insisting that the team was one whole and went out of his way to take care of him.

Jiang Feng drew in a deep breath, put the disc back into his pocket, and nodded. “You’re the first person I’ve ever admired. You should feel honored.”

“Uh...” Chu Xingchen was speechless for a mont, but then he rembered that this was just how Jiang Feng was and did not dwell on it as he kept walking forward.

“Oh, right. Put these on later.”

As they neared the Snakefolk cave, Blind Feng took out five pairs of sunglasses and warned them, “Rember this. Do not take these off, no matter what. Do not make eye contact with the Snakefolk, or you’ll be turned to stone.”

“At the mont, the research institute still hasn’t developed any way to reverse petrification. Once you’re petrified, it’s the sa as being sentenced to death.”

Blind Feng handed the sunglasses to the five of them one by one. “We’re almost at the Snakefolk cave. They mostly stay inside their cave during the day and only co out at night. Right now is the best ti to clear them out.”

“Understood.” Tang Long put on the sunglasses. The fras squeezed the flesh around his ears out of shape, but he still struck a pose, trying to look cool.

Jiang Yichen could not help but laugh. The mont they put on those sunglasses, the entire team’s vibe changed.

He put his on as well. The others wore them to stay alive. He wore them because matching as a group looked stylish.

Following the safe route Blind Feng had spent years figuring out, the five of them reached the Snakefolk cave without the slightest trouble.

Along the way, they did not even hear a single beast roar. The valley was eerily quiet.

Even Blind Feng found it strange. Usually, the valley would echo every so often with the cries of Demonic Beasts, but today it was unnaturally silent.

“When you go in, be careful. I’ll keep watch outside. Sothing’s wrong in this valley today.”

Blind Feng pointed his pipe toward the cave ahead.

The mont Jiang Yichen and the others turned to look, a damp, fishy stench mixed with the reek of rot hit them in the face.

The cave walls were coated with a slick layer of moss. Shreds of shed snakeskin were scattered across the ground, and from ti to ti, low hissing sounds drifted out.

Jiang Yichen narrowed his eyes and released the ntal Perception of a Divine Mind User. As his realm had risen, the range of his perception had undergone a qualitative leap as well.

With a single thought, his senses instantly spread over most of the valley.

Hm?

But the instant he sensed the area, Jiang Yichen frowned. Aside from the Snakefolk inside the cave, there were also hundreds of thousands of Demonic Beasts lurking in the shadows throughout the valley.

They were like hunters lying in wait for prey to approach, quietly biding their ti.

Well now, just as expected, sothing really is wrong.

From the mont Zhou Yu handed him this mission, he had already suspected that things were not as simple as they appeared.

Now it seed clear that Zhou Yu had deliberately arranged for him to be trapped in mortal danger.

Unfortunately, this little number of Demonic Beasts still isn’t enough for to really indulge in using my talisman papers. Such a low-level trick.

Jiang Yichen did not take it seriously. He looked at the other four and said, “Let’s go in and finish the mission first.”

“The Snakefolk are still fairly concentrated, but so of them aren’t inside the cave. Two of us should go clear out the Snakefolk on the outer periter, while the others head into the cave.”

The four of them nodded slightly. Their mission was to eliminate all the Snakefolk.

This approach would be more efficient.

“I’ll go,” Chu Xingchen volunteered.

The mont Jiang Feng heard that, he imdiately said, “I’ll go with him.”

Jiang Yichen’s gaze sharpened. Sensing the brainwave signals coming from Jiang Feng’s pocket, he thought for a mont and said, “Alright then. We’ll et back here later.”

Chu Xingchen and Jiang Feng nodded and disappeared into the thick white mist.

Jiang Yichen watched Jiang Feng’s retreating back, and his eyes turned cold.

The brainwave signals coming from Jiang Feng’s pocket just now were resonating with the three Peak Eighth-Rank Demonic Beasts hidden inside the valley.

There was no way Jiang Feng could control three Peak Eighth-Rank Demonic Beasts.

The only possible explanation was Zhou Yu. Only by using the Zhou family’s power could he make sothing like this happen.

Then, thinking of how the mission wristband Zhou Yu had given him had no teleportation function, Jiang Yichen had already figured out the plan the two of them had in mind.

Trigger a Beast Tide, let die at the hands of the Demonic Beasts, force the Jiang family to choose Jiang Feng as their heir, and then let Zhou Yu take the opportunity to form a marriage alliance with the Su family.

What a clever sche.

Jiang Yichen smiled. Although battles over succession have always been like this, since you’ve already decided to kill , I can’t leave you alive either.

He intended to beat them at their own ga. The spatial teleportation ability of that mission wristband was laughably weak.

Jiang Feng, if you dare trigger the Beast Tide, then this place will beco your grave.

“Brother Yichen, what are you thinking about? Co on, let’s go.”

Hearing Su Linyu’s voice, Jiang Yichen ca back to himself and gave a slight nod.

The three of them slowly entered the Snakefolk cave.

anwhile, Blind Feng stood outside the cave, keeping watch. He had the uneasy feeling that countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.

“This valley is really cursed today,” he muttered, scanning the surroundings with a frown.

Below the Snakefolk cave ran a stream, its waters echoing with a rhythmic thumping sound. Chu Xingchen and Jiang Feng stood on a high stone ledge above the stream.

As the sun rose higher, the mist in the valley gradually thinned.

At once, two Snakefolk coiled beside the stream ca into view.

Their bodies were covered in green snake scales. They had human torsos and snake tails, with sharp venomous fangs protruding from both corners of their mouths as their forked tongues flicked in and out.

At a glance, their strength was only at the Fourth Rank.

“Jiang Feng, in a bit I’ll find a few Snakefolk around your level. Stay here and be careful.”

Without any extra movent, Chu Xingchen seized the mont before the Snakefolk noticed him, pulled out two flying swords, and leaped down.

The sharp whistle of the swords cutting through the air imdiately made the two Snakefolk raise their heads. Their vertical pupils were just about to flare with a strange light when—

Slash!

A streak of sword light flashed past. Blood sprayed through the air, and the heads of the two Snakefolk tumbled into the stream, staining the water red.

Then Chu Xingchen’s eyes glowed with a purple-black radiance. His Demonic Eyes pierced through all falsehood and locked onto the Snakefolk farther away once more.

From the stone platform above, Jiang Feng looked down at him and once again took out the disc that could trigger the Beast Tide.

He stared at the disc for a long while. In the end, he let out a long sigh and lowered his head.

Watching Chu Xingchen dart back and forth through the air, he murmured, “Congratulations. You’ve beaten .”

Jiang Feng knew that if the Beast Tide erupted, Chu Xingchen would never abandon Jiang Yichen and leave.

Thinking back to the desert march, when no one in the team had helped him, only this man had stepped forward...

A self-mocking smile rose at the corner of his lips. For the first ti, because of another man, he gave up the chance to get rid of Jiang Yichen.

The hand holding the disc slowly dropped, and the disc slipped into a crack in the rock.
