Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts-Chapter 355 - 144: Unsolved Trap_1

Upon hearing Kuangliu’s explanation, Wen Yu nodded, wholly approving of Lin Haifeng’s approach.

Humanity had known peace for too long. With the opening of the Demon Realm’s Gate, they wouldn’t face a traditional Armageddon. Instead, they would be in a destructive war—a war for their survival!

How to fight, where to attack, and whether to take an offensive or defensive stance—these were all things Lin Haifeng had to consider.

Now, with Peng Jun as a catalyst, having the Yanjing Assembly Site undergo a battle drill and experience the baptism of war would greatly help strengthen them.

...

After Star’s advancement to Level 5, it grew larger, but its speed increased even more.

At this moment, Star shot towards the Demon Capital Assembly Site like a black arrow.

It easily broke the sound barrier without using its full strength.

Fortunately, both Kuangliu and Wen Yu, who were on Star’s back, were strong enough and didn’t get blown away by the intense airflow.

After a few hours, the Demon Capital Assembly Site was already within sight.

...

"They’re coming."

Peng Jun and Yang Pengguang were still sitting in the office. When Wen Yu and Kuangliu approached within a 100-kilometer radius of the Demon Capital Assembly Site, Yang Pengguang had somehow already discerned their location.

"All according to plan."

Peng Jun nodded in assent.

If he were in Lin Haifeng’s position, Peng Jun would also use Sequence Number 2 and Sequence Number 3’s powerful individual strengths to implement a Decapitation Strategy.

Two Level 5 super experts were practically invincible during this period.

It was a pity that while they seemed unbeatable to Peng Jun, certain entities could easily deal with them.

"Let’s give them a welcome."

Donning a coat, Peng Jun headed straight in their direction.

Behind him, Yang Pengguang followed closely. He pulled an odd artifact from his space ring and sent a Spiritual Fluctuation into it.

"The target is nearly here, get ready."

...

The distant Demon Capital Assembly Site grew from a small black dot. When Star flew to a spot 5 kilometers away, the complete view of the Demon Capital Assembly Site became clear.

Its overall design was similar to the Yanjing Assembly Site, seemingly laid out by the same designer, only slightly smaller. But that wasn’t the main point!

The main point was the two men standing on the city walls—Peng Jun and Yang Pengguang.

Before coming, Wen Yu had naturally obtained intelligence on Peng Jun and recognized his appearance. Combined with Yang Pengguang’s familiar aura, it confirmed that the two men standing atop the Demon Capital Assembly Site’s city walls were indeed them.

But both men seemed too calm...

So calm that it unsettled Wen Yu and Kuangliu!

Star stopped at a distance. Wen Yu sized up Peng Jun and Yang Pengguang, then said to Kuangliu, "What’s going on? It’s as if they came out to greet us."

Kuangliu squinted, scrutinizing the duo. After a moment, he shook his head.

"I don’t understand either."

"What do we do now?"

Looking at the current situation, Wen Yu couldn’t grasp whether these two were staging a deceptive strategy or if there was a trap within the Demon Capital Assembly Site capable of killing both him and Kuangliu.

After pondering for a while, Kuangliu decisively said, "You stay here. I’ll go and capture them. If there’s indeed a trap, you decide whether to retreat or provide rescue based on the situation."

"Alright!"

Wen Yu nodded firmly.

This operation wasn’t strictly a mission but merely a favor Wen Yu was doing for the military. It was similar to how, after this matter was resolved, Kuangliu and the Vermilion Bird would accompany Wen Yu to find the divine beast type.

Under these circumstances, Wen Yu wouldn’t put himself in danger. Kuangliu was very clear on this point, which was why he had proposed to test the waters himself.

...

Watching Kuangliu leap off Star’s back and stride towards the Demon Capital Assembly Site, Wen Yu squinted, trying to spot any signs of a "trap."

Unfortunately, there was nothing—not a single clue.

He watched as rays of lightning burst from Kuangliu’s body. The enormous White Tiger’s illusory figure roared wildly and charged directly at Peng Jun and Yang Pengguang on the city wall. It moved with incredible speed.

Then, Wen Yu saw Yang Pengguang take out a strange object...

Yang Pengguang’s lips moved slightly as if he was saying something.

Then, the next second...

A silvery vortex appeared directly in front of Kuangliu, instantly sucking him in!

"An entrance to a treasure land??"

Seeing Kuangliu vanish along with the silvery vortex, Wen Yu exclaimed in disbelief.

Wen Yu’s vision was excellent; the thing that had "sucked" Kuangliu away was indeed an entrance to a treasure land!

After "swallowing" Kuangliu, the entrance to the treasure land vanished without a trace!

Seeing Peng Jun on the city wall nod towards him, Wen Yu frowned and patted Star’s back.

"Go, let’s get out of here!"

The situation is clear; this is definitely a trap! Peng Jun and Yang Pengguang, through some unknown means, can open a treasure land at will. Under these circumstances, I should cut my losses and run!

Unfortunately for Wen Yu, Peng Jun had been scheming for a long time. How could he let Wen Yu escape?

...

"Let’s send him over too," Peng Jun said in a calm tone.

"Shouldn’t we toy with him a bit? The authority of Protector Number 1 is significant. Even if he flies a few hundred kilometers away, we can still send him in."

Yang Pengguang’s eyes lit up, clearly interested in his own suggestion.

However, Peng Jun simply shook his head.

"Even though we’re in opposing camps, respecting the strong is basic decorum. This is a quality you should cultivate. This time, the credit isn’t yours; it belongs to Protector Number 1. You can adopt that attitude when you can defeat him head-on."

Hearing Peng Jun’s words, Yang Pengguang gritted his teeth in frustration. He then sent another Spiritual Fluctuation into the artifact in his hand.

The next second, an entrance to a treasure land, nearly ten meters high, appeared out of thin air where Wen Yu was. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Wen Yu didn’t even get a chance to react before he was sucked into the treasure land, leaving Star behind, dazed and uncertain about what to do.

After a while, a purple light flashed, and Star was pulled back into the Soul Realm space.

Seeing all this, Peng Jun smacked his lips.

"The powers of these Guardians are handy!"

...

DING! Welcome to the large treasure land—Demon Town Tower!

"For detailed information about this treasure land, please check the Stone Platform next to the Demon Town Tower."
