Chapter 198: Descending the Mountain (II)
Seeing this, Ye Yisha’s expression changed. Other than her, the entire hunting team, including the captain, was unwilling to give up. As the only one with a different opinion, it was difficult for her to influence the group’s decision.
If she insisted on not going to the sea of flowers, it would probably cause many people in the team to have wild thoughts.
“After that powerful creature passes through the border and leaves, Ye Yisha, try to listen again. If it still feels the same, we’ll return directly,” Li Shou sighed and replied after a long time.
Ye Yisha’s special ability was too important to the hunting team, so he decided to compromise in the end.
After that, the hunting team fell silent and waited nervously for the powerful creature to pass through the border.
Suddenly, “Boom!” the void seemed to have exploded, and a thunderous sound came from the horizon. Then, a tsunami-like aura swept past.
After Chen Yiming left the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s territory, he went all out. This way, he wasn’t able to hide the commotion he caused.
Even though they were still far away, every member of the hunting team hiding behind the rocks felt as if their hearts were being pressed down by a rock. They labored to take each breath.
Such a scene was unheard of. The captain, Li Shou, had previously watched from afar when two warriors at the second stage of the warrior realm fought, but compared to this, it was not an exaggeration to say that the difference was like that between a firefly and a bright moon.
At this moment, the hunting team no longer had any intention of heading to the sea of flowers. They only had one thought, and that was to hide in the city first no matter what happened.
Fortunately, this powerful creature came and went quickly. In a few moments, the oppressive feeling disappeared. This made everyone in the hunting team thank Ye Yisha from the bottom of their hearts.
Without Ye Yisha, the team would not be able to detect and dodge in advance. If they bumped into the creature, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Do any of you know the exact location of the sea of flowers?”
An unfamiliar voice almost caused the hunting team’s hearts to jump out of their chests.
Chen Yiming had never seen any information about materializing a spiritual familiar. He didn’t know what level it was at, but this must have made their perception extremely sharp.
If these people hadn’t been hiding behind the rocks, Chen Yiming would have thought that they were just a group of passersby. However, he had noticed their abnormal actions.
This piqued Chen Yiming’s interest. How did the old man, who was at most at the ordinary warrior realm, manage to hide with a group of disciples?
It had to be known that when he was traveling at full speed, his body would usually arrive at the location before the sound of his movements did. This was the result of his body breaking through the sound barrier.
Under normal circumstances, this group of people would not have been able to react in time.
“Who are you?”
The hunting team hiding behind the rocks thought that the powerful creature had left, so someone stood up and asked.
They were in the middle of nowhere, and they did not even notice that someone had come up close to them. How could they not be shocked?
A young man was standing quietly a few meters away from them.
He was wearing a black cloak, and his face was indescribably strange.
This was the effect of Chen Yiming using the illusion-based internal force of the Nightmare Court to hide his true appearance. It allowed those who saw his face to see what they subconsciously thought he looked like.
In other words, in the eyes of different people, Chen Yiming’s appearance was different.
It wasn’t rare to see this type of internal force with the illusion attribute. Chen Yiming only used its simplest function, so he wasn’t afraid of being associated with the Myriad Phenomena Sect.
“…”
There were also some smart people in the hunting team who thought of the worst outcome.
That powerful creature might be the one in front of them. Otherwise, it was impossible to explain how someone could approach them without warning with Ye Yisha around. Furthermore, he had taken the initiative to speak before being discovered.
Li Shou understood the situation in just a moment, so he walked out from the crowd and said respectfully, “Sir, the sea of flowers is about 30 kilometers north of here.”
With that, he pointed in a specific direction.
Chen Yiming nodded and asked, “How did you guys notice that I was passing by?”
The moment he finished speaking, the entire group fell silent. The hearts of every member of the hunting team started beating faster, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
This time, they knew that they could not hide it from the young man.
Ye Yisha took the initiative to step forward and explain, “I was the one who noticed it. I was born with ears that can hear vibrations that normal people can’t.”
Chen Yiming sized up the young woman.
She had a beautiful face and was wearing tight-fitting clothes that accentuated her hot figure, especially her long legs and perky butt.
He then sensed that the aura she emitted was not even that of a warrior candidate.
No wonder she dared to join a hunting team filled with men alone. She actually had a special ability.
“Sir, are you going to the sea of flowers?”
Li Shou asked first to show his respect. Without stopping, he explained, “Our hunting team has been in and out of the sea of flowers many times. We can guide you for free.”
Chen Yiming’s expression remained unchanged.
He could tell at a glance that the old man was afraid that he would steal Ye Yisha from the team.
However, this was exactly what he had in mind. He wanted to take away Ye Yisha, who he suspected to be a bloodline warrior.
Ye Yisha, who had a special perception ability, could be used for research in the future or become his subordinate.
“No need. You guys are too weak. You’re wasting my time.”
Chen Yiming rejected him outright. Then, he looked at Ye Yisha and said, “Follow me to the sea of flowers.”
“…”
The hunting team was dumbfounded. Everyone was instantly stunned.
The team’s means of entering and exiting the sea of flowers had been brazenly snatched away. From the other party’s tone, there was no hesitation, nor was there any intention of explaining anything.
Li Shou took a deep breath and did not dare to make a sound. He let Ye Yisha make the decision.
The other members of the hunting team looked at Ye Yisha, hoping that she would reject him.
“What level is this person at? He picked a lowly disciple like me to go with him because of my special ability.
What if I join the large faction behind this person and am surrounded by warriors like Li Shou? What will happen to me, who is only at the disciple realm?”
At the thought of this, Ye Yisha could not suppress her desire to spread her wings.
The threshold was an obstacle no matter where one was. The factions at different levels had set their own bar for entry. Only a small number of people could be accepted as an exception.
Her martial arts talent was considered outstanding in a small city, but among those wandering the wilderness, it was considered to be mediocre.
The resources that a small city could provide were limited to the level of the disciple realm.
Therefore, in order to make use of the golden age for cultivating martial arts, she had no choice but to use her special ability to join a hunting team led by warriors.
“Sir, I’m willing to go with you,” Ye Yisha replied firmly.
With that, she walked away from the group and stood beside Chen Yiming.
The surrounding hunting team members watched helplessly, and no one dared to speak. Li Shou instantly seemed to have aged a few years and lost a lot of his energy.
Even warriors who had mastered the transformation of their internal force could easily kill this hunting team, let alone this mysterious person.
In the face of such an unknown expert, no one dared to say no.
Chen Yiming took in everyone’s expressions. As a disciple of a large sect, he naturally wouldn’t take someone from them for nothing. Unfortunately, he didn’t have anything suitable to give them as compensation.
“I heard that the sea of flowers produces a special kind of dew. When the time comes, take some out and give it to them.”
Ye Yisha nodded and said, “Yes.”
The members of the hunting team, including Li Shou, immediately felt much better.
Even though they were still very disappointed, Ye Yisha was not theirs to own, and they had not signed any contract with her. Naturally, there was no reason for them to stop her from getting closer to others.
If he could give some compensation, it meant that this mysterious expert was not from an evil faction. He might be the sect master of a large sect who did not want others to know his identity.
This was already an excellent outcome for the hunting team.
“Let’s go,” Chen Yiming reminded Ye Yisha.
His strength-based internal force extended to her body, turning into brown armor.
This scene broadened the horizons of the hunting team. This was a technique that made use of the transformation of internal force.
“Boom!”
A huge hole appeared in the ground, and dust filled the air. At the same time, two brown streams of light shot into the sky.
“Ah!” Ye Yisha exclaimed as she watched the scene around her quickly disappear.
She had never experienced such a feeling of flying. Her body was protected by the armor formed by the internal force, and she did not feel any discomfort.
The worldview of everyone in the hunting team was updated.
The two brown streams of light moved through the air like human fighter jets and gradually disappeared into the horizon.
“What!”
A member of the hunting team gasped and asked Li Shou, “Captain, what level is he at?”
Li Shou shook his head helplessly. “I’m not sure either.”
