Chapter 342
Xiang Beifei frowned slightly and called out, “Retreat!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
It was as if Zhu Xinjue had signaled something, and instantly countless whooshing sounds appeared from the forest. These sounds quickly sprang up, followed by a number of human figures with extremely miserable appearances surrounding them.
They were indeed the Ghostly Visage with Ghost Whiskers!
Xiang Beifei’s expression was grave; he had no idea how these Ghostly Visage with Ghost Whiskers had appeared!
Since the moment they had arrived, he had not detected their presence, not even a trace of their aura. However, at Zhu Xinjue’s snap of the fingers, the Ghostly Visage with Ghost Whiskers suddenly appeared, quite abruptly.
It was as if they had materialized out of nowhere at Zhu Xinjue’s signal.
What made Xiang Beifei even more wary was an extremely powerful aura that slowly emerged from the forest.
“Xinjue, your efficiency is truly impressive!”
Shi Renmei, with her slim waist twisted, slowly appeared before them.
Upon her arrival, Tang He’s face drastically changed as he exclaimed in horror, “It’s her… It’s her! She is Shi Renmei!”
“Oh, so you know me too! What a pleasure!” Shi Renmei winked at Tang He, then shifted her gaze back to Xiang Beifei.
“We’ve finally met!”
Her eyes were filled with curiosity when she looked at Xiang Beifei, mixed with a strange excitement, even fervor, as if she had seen some rare treasure.
Xiang Beifei stared intently at Shi Renmei. This woman had no system interface above her head and showed none of the characteristics of the Ghostly Visage with Ghost Whiskers, appearing as a completely normal woman, elegant and composed in demeanor.
Indistinguishable from a real person!
Had the Ghostly Visage with Ghost Whiskers’ ability to disguise become so advanced?
Zhu Xinjue said, “I’ve brought the people to you, so is our deal complete now?”
“Not yet, our deal was to capture the people, and they are not in our hands yet, are they?” Shi Renmei spoke with a smile.
“With your ability, can’t you capture these people?” Zhu Xinjue asked.
“If I could so easily capture them, why would I make a deal with you?” Shi Renmei said with a smile, “Rest assured, once you capture them, I will keep my promise, let you leave this place, and then tell you the secret of this Withered Forest.”
“Good!”
Zhu Xinjue was invigorated, aware of Shi Renmei’s prowess; she was definitely far more formidable than Hou Chengwu and Chen Baiwen. With Shi Renmei present, defeating Xiang Beifei would be more than possible!
The other Ghostly Visage with Ghost Whiskers didn’t make a move; they were all waiting for Shi Renmei’s command, and she clearly didn’t intend to act directly right away.
She wanted Zhu Xinjue to test Xiang Beifei while she enjoyed the show.
As for Cheng Xin’an and others, she saw them as sitting ducks.
Trapped on the mountain, with tree people surrounding them from outside, where could they run to?
——
“Is Zhu Pengfei human? Or has he already been parasitized by a Ghostly Visage with Ghost Whiskers?”
Cheng Xin’an asked Xiang Beifei in a low voice, looking at Zhu Xinjue.
Having heard from Tang He that Shi Renmei was a desolate beast, and seeing Zhu Xinjue walking alongside her, his first thought was whether Zhu Pengfei had been killed by a Ghostly Visage with Ghost Whiskers and subsequently possessed by them, becoming another Shi Renmei.
“He’s a beast,” said Xiang Beifei calmly. Find exclusive stories on
Cheng Xin’an was slightly taken aback.
“Seeking death!”
Zhu Xinjue took a step forward, and a ripple emerged under his feet as the power of space quickly enveloped Xiang Beifei.
In reality, any spatial type ability was invalid here, for Shi Renmei had locked down this space, and Zhu Xinjue’s “Controlling the World” system belonged to the spatial type, ineffective in the Withered Forest. The problem was, Zhu Xinjue’s system space had been improved by his grandfather!
Meaning that even though he couldn’t leave the Withered Forest using the Forfeit Talisman, he was still able to use his system abilities!
Hum!
The power of the “Controlling the World” system spread quickly and soon enveloped Xiang Beifei in front of him!
Xiaohei clutched tightly at Xiang Beifei’s clothes, staring at the space fluctuation.
However, Xiang Beifei didn’t let Xiaohei block it.
Whoosh!
The scenery shifted in a whirl, and Beifei found himself amidst an icy, snowy world!
It was unmistakably the world of Lonely Island!
Shi Renmei also leisurely stepped into Zhu Xinjue’s space. Although he had a special UR trump card, he still needed Shi Renmei’s assistance, just in case.
“I’ve wanted to meet you alone for a long time. You probably don’t recognize me, but do you remember this place?”
Hate filled Zhu Xinjue’s eyes, the humiliation of being defeated by Xiang Beifei, who was at the later stages of Qi-Controlling, was the shame of his life, so he was determined to avenge that shame.
Xiang Beifei just looked at Zhu Xinjue indifferently.
Seeing Xiang Beifei’s calmness, Zhu Xinjue’s face contorted with rage again: “Back then, you relied on your spatial jumping ability to deal with me, but today, I want to see how you will use space against me!”
A blue light burst from him, darting about like glittering golden chains. These chains crisscrossed, merging into every nook of this space, as if they locked everything in this world, every blade of grass, every flower, every drop of water…
He had locked down the essence of everything in this world!
“This is the UR-level Void Seal Lock, your abilities are of no use in front of me!”
Zhu Xinjue had great confidence in the UR-level system item given by his grandfather. A UR-level system was very powerful, one of the top-notch space-locking items!
