Chapter 50: The New Home’s Mighty Power

“Boss Wu, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but how can I be sure you won’t just take the goods and run off?”

Wu Feng smiled easily at Duan, “Relax, I wouldn’t dare. Besides, with your people from Haishi joining in, I wouldn’t be able to get away with it even if I wanted to!”

Looking at Wu Feng’s attitude, it really seemed like he just wanted to get back what was his. But Duan couldn’t help but wonder—just how much had this woman named Sang Chu taken?

Wu Feng, seeing Duan’s expression, laughed, “Don’t worry, both Sang Chu and the other woman are spatial ability users.”

If he said so, then Sang Chu must be one!

Spatial ability users!

Duan’s heart skipped a beat.

If that was true, then she could really take a lot of things away!

Duan gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, Boss Wu, if you’re serious, then if we catch any traitors, I’ll take responsibility. Give me a moment, I’ll have someone notify Ah Ming and Ah Xin, and gather all my people from Base Three to help search. Even if we have to turn that whole mountain upside down, we’ll find them!”

Wu Feng nodded, “Good. As long as we find Sang Chu and get my things back, I’ll split the spoils with you.”

Duan smiled, “Boss Wu, you’re too polite. You and your people have traveled a long way and must be tired. Why don’t you rest for now? Once Ah Xin and the others arrive, we’ll discuss how to deal with Sang Chu.”

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you then.”

Duan personally led Wu Feng and his group to rest.

After Wu Feng left, Qiming walked up to Duan and whispered, “Big brother, do you really trust what Wu Feng said?”

Duan sneered, “He’s not someone who likes to cooperate with others. The only reason he’s come to us now is because this woman, Sang Chu, is really tricky. I’m not so sure she’s actually a spatial ability user like he claims. If he’s a level three ability user, how could a spatial ability user like Sang Chu escape from him?”

“So what should we do now?”

Duan said coldly, “He wants us to do all the hard work to find Sang Chu, and then he’ll swoop in and take the prize. In that case, let’s get rid of him first. You go tell your brother: once we’ve figured out where Sang Chu is hiding in the mountains, we’ll find a way to deal with Wu Feng and his people. After that, we’ll split the loot ourselves.”

Qiming grinned, “Good idea, big brother. Wait here, I’ll go find my brother now.”

Few people knew that Ah Xin and Duan were actually sworn brothers. On the surface, the base Ah Xin had established was independent, with little public interaction, but in reality, they were very close.

...

When Ah Xin saw Qiming, he was a little surprised—Qiming usually didn’t come to see him unless something important was up.

“Qiming? What’s up? Is there something going on with third brother?”

Qiming quickly explained what Wu Feng had said. Ah Xin didn’t hesitate at all and immediately agreed.

“If Wu Feng is willing to split the goods with outsiders, he must have a lot of valuable stuff on hand. For him to ask for help, that Sang Chu woman must have something really good. Go tell third brother, I’ll send my men right away!”

“Got it, bro. I’ll go tell the boss now!”

When Qiming returned to the base, he noticed a pair of green eyes glowing faintly from the grass nearby. In a flash, the figure slipped behind him, following silently.

All his movements were under Wu Feng’s watchful eye.

...

“Is this the place?”

“Isn’t the mutated vegetation here a bit too dense?”

Standing at the foot of the mountain near Wu Feng’s base, everyone looked at the thick, tangled plants and exchanged uneasy glances.

Even if no one had cleared the mutated plants, it shouldn’t have gotten this overgrown!

Zhu Qiao whispered in Wu Feng’s ear, “Boss, these mutated plants are even thicker than when we were here last time.”

Wu Feng nodded slightly, “Tell our people to be careful. If necessary...”

He glanced at Duan and signaled to Zhu Qiao, who immediately understood, smiled, and quickly relayed Wu Feng’s intentions to their own men.

Duan and Ah Xin led the way, even though they didn’t trust Wu Feng, they were still very cautious.

Ah Xin said, “A Mu, take your men and clear out these mutated plants.”

“Understood, boss. You, come with me.”

A Mu took ten ability users and headed into the thicket. As soon as they entered, there was no sound from them at all.

Time passed, but not a single sound came from inside.

Under the faint red moonlight, it was impossible to see what was happening within.

Duan frowned, “What’s taking A Mu so long? Qiming, take some men and check it out.”

“Alright.”

Qiming led a group in, but they too disappeared without a trace.

Duan’s men started to panic, “Big brother, what’s going on?”

Ah Xin looked at Wu Feng, “Wu, my men went in and never came out. You’re not playing tricks, are you?”

Wu Feng replied, “Why would I? I just want to get back what Sang Chu stole. I wouldn’t harm your people.”

Ah Xin said, “Since that’s the case, let’s have your men go in and help clear the mutated plants. Otherwise, only my men are going in and not coming back—it’s not fair.”

Wu Feng replied, “If we already know that going in means not coming back, then we need to think of another way. There’s no point in sending people in to die!”

There was definitely a trap inside. Even if there wasn’t, he wasn’t about to send his own people in.

Ah Xin’s sharp eyes stared straight at Wu Feng.

Suddenly—

A voice came from inside, “Boss, we’ve cleared a small area. Come in and take a look!”

“These mutated plants are really tough to clear. Come in and check it out, and I’ll keep clearing further in.”

After that, there was no more sound.

For a while, neither Ah Xin nor Duan dared to go in.

Wu Feng glanced at them, then quietly took a step back.

Suddenly, Ah Xin and Duan’s men started shouting, “Boss, look at this!”

“Boss, these plants, these plants!!!”

Thick vines shot out at lightning speed from who knows where, suddenly wrapping up all of Duan’s men.

Wu Feng shouted, “Run!”

He didn’t dare hesitate, quickly called his own men, and turned to flee.

“Ah—!”

Screams echoed all around.

Wu Feng looked back and saw the vines writhing like a nest of snakes, lashing out at the crowd.

With each strike, blood splattered.

“Boss! Help me!!”

Zhu Ling screamed in terror.

He was currently trapped, his arms and legs bound by a vine, his back pressed to the ground.

Wu Feng, sweating profusely, summoned a golden blade and slashed at the vines.

He was drenched in sweat, but the vines just wouldn’t break.

Bang—

Zhu Ling was torn apart by the vines, blood splattering everywhere.

The sudden carnage left Wu Feng frozen in place.

He watched as the vines, after feasting, turned toward him.

Wu Feng unleashed his powers desperately!

But these mutated plants were immune to abilities.

Fire, ice, golden blades, daggers—nothing worked on the vines.

And the more people died, the more the vines seemed to thrive.

Wu Feng tried to run, but suddenly a vine wrapped around his waist. Instinctively, he turned and slashed, cutting the vine...
