Chapter 1164: Spun into a Cocoon
The Chain Snake soon bound Lin Yuan and Liu Jie’s limbs together.
Brother Snake walked over with his four companions.
He peered at Lin Yuan and Liu Jie before saying, “They’re so handsome! They’re more than capable of serving Miss Luo Ya with these looks! She’s going to love her new plates!”
Lin Yuan was utterly befuddled.
He understood the part about serving some woman named Luo Ya, but what did that part about being a plate mean? Could it be what he thought it was?
After studying Lin Yuan and Liu Jie’s appearances, the skinny man patted the scarred man and said, “When we bring them back, interrogate them first to find out who they really are! If we use them for information, we might even receive rewards! Miss Luo Ya is generous when it comes to gift-giving!”
The scarred man summoned a plant-type fey that resembled a pair of tongs and snarled at Lin Yuan and Liu Jie, “Let me ask you a question. If you answer slowly, my Steel Tongs Flower will cut you. Since you’re Miss Luo Ya’s toys, I’ll take care not to break your legs. However, I can’t guarantee that you won’t end up with any fractures. After all, Miss Luo Ya cares about your faces and not your legs.”
He instructed the Steel Tongs Flower to make snipping motions ferociously.
Lin Yuan could not even be bothered to use True Data to check on the Steel Tongs Flower as it was as plain as day it was nothing more than a Bronze fey.
He had not started attacking this group because he wanted to see how people from the Divine Wood Federation behaved toward people from the Great Lush Federation.
Both he and Liu Jie remained motionless and silent as the five adventurers captured them.
Lin Yuan was surprised by how badly natives from the Divine Wood Federation treated people from the Great Lush Federation.
It was likely that he and Liu Jie were meant to become slaves.
Nonetheless, natives from the Divine Wood Federation would need to rely on trading with merchants from the Great Lush Federation to obtain resources such as mining minerals, metal, and fur.
The scarred man took Lin Yuan and Liu Jie’s silence as terror, and he prepared himself to ask a question.
If they continued remaining silent after he asked his question, he would teach them a lesson that would leave them clamoring to spill everything they knew.
“When will the merchants return?”
Lin Yuan immediately realized that this group of people had come all this way to target the merchants from the Great Lush Federation.
He wondered if they had come to steal the merchants’ resources or to kill them and push the blame to the Iron Hammer Federation.
Regardless, Lin Yuan knew there was no hope of him finding out the attitude held by Divine Wood natives toward the people from the Great Lush Federation through this group.
Hence, there was no need for him to continue to play along.
The scarred man waited for five seconds. When Liu Jie and Lin Yuan continued to stay mum, he fiercely ordered, “Steel Tongs Flower, use 25 kilograms of force to start and teach these two a lesson. I think they—”
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the frowning fat man, “Brother Snake, they aren’t even frowning despite being prisoners. Don’t you think that something is wrong?”
The fat man’s words alerted Brother Snake.
Brother Snake was the leader of the advance team, and they often encountered feys during their missions.
High-grade feys either reacted by attacking or fleeing. There was no way they would release a target they had captured.
Moreover, the insect-species fey that captured them did not feed on flesh; hence, they had not been caught for consumption either.
The two men from the Great Lush Federation appeared soon after the group was captured.
This all seemed like too much of a coincidence!
The skinny man ordered the Chain Snake to pulverize Liu Jie and Lin Yuan.
The skinny man realized the Chain Snake had lost control of the situation at that moment.
Unbeknownst to him, two pillars of sand had appeared below Lin Yuan and Liu Jie’s feet and rose up to bound the Chain Snake tightly.
After Lin Yuan pulled Liu Jie to his feet, he raised an eyebrow at the five people before him and said, “You wanted to ask me questions, but now that the tables have turned, it’s my turn to ask you.”
Lin Yuan shouted to the ground, “Source Sand, go all out!”
Soon, a pool of quicksand with a radius of half a meter appeared below each of the five men.
As the five men struggled within the quicksand, they remained entrapped within the quicksand.
The sand granules became finer and penetrated the five men’s vine armor.
After searching the bodies of the five men, only five phones were found.
The Source Sand delivered the five phones to Lin Yuan. He picked two of the best-looking ones and gave one to Liu Jie while he kept the other for himself.
The Source Sand promptly crushed the remaining three phones.
With a wave of Liu Jie’s hand, the five Hurricane Owlet Moths that had carried the five men appeared.
The five men’s teeth immediately started chattering as their worst fear was confirmed. The insect-species fey that had picked them up had not appeared by coincidence.
Their expressions soured as they remembered all that they just said. They knew that this was the end for them.
Lin Yuan said to the five frightened men, “I will ask each of you a question. If I’m satisfied with your answer, I will let you live. The quicksand that’s trapping you is much stronger than the Bronze Chain Snake.”
He first turned to the person who was trembling the most violently and asked, “Why are you searching for the merchants from the Great Lush Federation?”
The trembling man instinctively glanced at his teammates. It was clear that he dared not reply to Lin Yuan’s question because of the four of them.
Thus, Lin Yuan instructed the Source Sand to produce Red Lotus Soft Gold.
Anyone who came into contact with Red Lotus Soft Gold would be in excruciating pain, and even the gruffest of men would break down in tears.
100 strands of Red Lotus Soft Gold appeared from two pools of quicksand and wrapped around the man that Lin Yuan had posed the question to.
