Chapter 451: Chapter 439: It seems you’ve encountered some trouble
Shen Si’s expression changed repeatedly. Finally, with a pleading tone, she said, "We’ve already handed over all our spatial rings to you, haven’t we? Why can’t you spare us?"
"Chairman!"
A man nearby angrily said, "Can’t you see? These people never intended to let us go from the beginning. They’ve just been toying with us."
"That’s right. They deliberately spared Dazhou’s life just to give us a false sense of hope so that we would think they only wanted our belongings, not our lives."
"You’re smart."
Kevin looked at the speaker teasingly and said, "It’s a pity you realized it too late."
In the past, they had also robbed many Yan Country people.
But because they were too ruthless at first, it made the other party choose to perish together with them, resulting in limited gains.
Later, they found that if they first gave the other party the illusion that they only sought wealth and not lives, their gains would significantly increase.
Then, they would make their move and kill these people.
"You bastards!"
Shen Si’s face was filled with despair.
An infinite anger surged from his heart.
These Feng Country people were homeless, and it was Yan Country that took them in.
Yet, they not only did not know gratitude but also turned their blades against their benefactors.
But anger could not solve the problem.
The urgent task was to let someone escape and notify the Chairman so that their deaths would have value.
But would these people let them go?
The number of the opponents not only doubled them but also was in full vigor, forming an encirclement.
Even he was not confident he could break out.
"I never thought I, Shen Si, would die here, at the hands of these Feng Country people."
Shen Si sighed deeply in his heart.
"Kevin, should we make our move?"
A Feng Country person whispered, "If we delay any longer, Lord John will arrive. If he sees us here..."
The other Feng Country people looked tense at these words.
Although Lord John was after the treasures deep in the rainforest,
they were sent by him to gather information.
But if he found out the treasures on the ground, how much they could take would be questionable.
"Hmm, you’re right."
Kevin nodded, then looked at Shen Si and the others in front of him, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "The Chairman of the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association, is it? Blame your bad luck for running into us."
"Chairman Shen, it looks like you’re in some trouble?"
Just as Shen Si was about to fight to the death, a voice sounded from the front.
"This voice!"
Shen Si shivered, his eyes scanning through the gaps in the bodies of those in front of him, looking towards the source of the voice.
He saw a burly figure appearing at an unknown time.
Wearing a mask, holding a bow and arrow in his hand.
"Chen Fan!"
He exclaimed, eyes filled with incredulity.
Not an illusion, right?
Brother Chen would actually appear here?
The martial artists behind him were also dumbfounded, as if petrified.
Immediately, like drowning people grabbing onto a lifeline.
"Brother Chen, save us!"
"Brother Chen, save us! These beasts not only robbed us of everything but also want to kill us to silence us!"
"That’s right, Brother Chen. These creatures worse than pigs and dogs, we Yan Country people kindly took them in, yet they repaid us with violence."
"Is that so."
Chen Fan roughly understood the situation.
His gaze fell on the group of Feng Country people.
If it had been earlier, he might have been somewhat surprised.
But after the battle with the Dragon-man, no matter how strange a race appeared in front of him, he wouldn’t be alarmed.
As Chen Fan sized up the Feng Country people, they were also sizing him up.
"When did this guy arrive? How come I didn’t notice at all?"
"I didn’t notice either. When did this guy approach? Damn, it must be because we were too happy earlier and let our guard down."
"Nothing to worry about," a Feng Country man laughed. "Even if he sneaked up on us, hasn’t he been discovered now?"
"Exactly. He’s alone; we have so many people here. If anyone should be afraid, it’s him."
"This guy really doesn’t know what’s good for him? If he had left, we wouldn’t have noticed. But instead, he walked out, just another fat sheep delivered to us, hehe."
"He must know him, right? Didn’t you hear him call that person Chairman Shen?"
"Could it be that he is also from the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association?"
More than ten Feng Country people were talking one after another.
"Alright."
Kevin glanced at his companions, signaling them to quiet down.
Then, he looked at Chen Fan and asked, "Who are you? You know them?"
"What do you think?"
Chen Fan retorted.
"Brother Chen."
Shen Si was so moved that he didn’t know what to say.
He could roughly guess why Chen Fan appeared here.
It must be like the others, heading for the treasures deep in the rainforest.
But he had come over specially.
Little did they know, hearing Chen Fan’s words, the faces of the Feng Country people showed an intriguing expression.
"So, these people are your friends?"
Kevin said with a laugh. "So, do you want them to live?"
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Chen Fan smiled.
"What do you mean?"
"As long as you hand over all the valuables you have, we will let your companions go."
Kevin continued.
"Brother Chen, don’t believe him! He said the same thing to us earlier!"
A man shouted.
"Shut up!"
Kevin turned around and glared at him. "If you dare say more, I’ll kill you first."
Shen Si turned around and shook his head at the man.
Even without his reminder, Chen Fan wouldn’t believe him.
Moreover, with the latter’s strength, killing Commander-level Fierce Beasts was as easy as killing chickens. These Feng Country people, even if they were all together, would be no match for him.
But he was still a bit worried.
Killing and rescuing were different things.
If these Feng Country people attacked them and Chen Fan simultaneously,
it would be uncertain how many of them would survive.
"How about it?"
Kevin turned back, confidently looking at Chen Fan. "This is your only chance. I’m giving you one minute to consider. If you haven’t decided in a minute, you can say goodbye to your friends."
"I’m curious, who gave you the confidence to speak to me like this?"
Chen Fan found it amusing.
The auras of these people in front of him were uneven.
The strongest among them was at most comparable to a B-level Awakened.
Maybe some had some special skills.
But killing them was as easy as squashing an ant.
As his words fell, several Feng Country people were enraged.
"This guy dares to look down on us?"
"Kill him!"
"But if we kill him, we won’t get the stuff in his spatial items?"
"Yes, the bow and arrow in his hand look special; there must be a lot of good things in his spatial items."
"Kid, do you know your words just offended me?"
Kevin’s face twisted, and he spoke angrily, "I gave you a chance, and you didn’t cherish it. Fine, then I’ll kill one of your companions first, to show you I’m not joking!"
Saying this, he appeared with a dagger and stabbed towards Shen Si’s chest.
Shen Si’s pupils shrank, wanting to resist fiercely.
But at this moment, he was horrified to find that his body wouldn’t obey!
"Damn it! There’s an Awakener with a control-type superpower among them!"
Endless despair rose in Shen Si’s heart.
He couldn’t help but close his eyes.
At such a close distance, even Chen Fan couldn’t react in time, right?
What a pity. He thought he wouldn’t die, but in the end, he couldn’t change the outcome?
As the dagger was about to pierce his clothes and into his heart, Chen Fan moved.
His figure was so fast that afterimages appeared in the air.
Eventually, countless afterimages converged, and Chen Fan’s figure appeared in place.
It was as if he had never left, and the countless afterimages just flew out from him and back.
And the surrounding Feng Country people stood motionless as if struck by a body-stabilizing technique.
A second passed,
Two seconds passed,
Three seconds passed,
The imagined death did not come.
Shen Si slowly opened his eyes, seeing the blonde man with a sharp dagger in his right hand, pointing at his chest, the tip gleaming coldly.
Instantly, his hair stood on end.
But soon, he noticed something strange.
This person stood there, bent over, motionless, as if struck by a body-stabilizing technique.
Their eyes met, and both saw confusion in each other’s eyes.
The difference was that the latter’s eyes also held fear.
"What happened? Why can’t my body move?"
At this moment, a voice broke the eerie atmosphere.
"My body can’t move either!"
"Mine too!"
"What’s happening? Why can’t I move?"
Exclamations rose and fell.
Shen Si and his companions looked at each other, their backs soaked in sweat.
Especially Shen Si.
He thought he was dead for sure earlier.
Unexpectedly, Chen Fan’s body technique was so fast that he immobilized all the Feng Country people’s acupoints at the critical moment.
Too strong!
"You can’t move because of my Acupoint Technique."
Chen Fan’s voice slowly sounded.
"Acupoint Technique?"
"What is that?"
"Not a superpower?"
The Feng Country Awakeners glanced at each other in confusion.
