The other end of the iron rope was wrapped around the branches of the Red Powder, and when they pulled, many branches were caught and torn apart. The people rejoiced at the sight, intending to continue their efforts, but suddenly, the force from the opposite end disappeared. Caught off guard, everyone except their leader, Poison Wolf, staggered backward.
Behind them, the branches of Red Powder had already stealthily reached out. As they retreated, they collided with the branches, and were pierced by the sharp long thorns. The thorns blocked their wounds so tightly that not even blood could escape. Simultaneously, more branches rapidly extended, twining around these people, binding them tighter and tighter. Blossom buds extended into their mouths, silencing their screams.
It was the five people at the very back who were caught; Poison Wolf instantly sensed something was wrong. He sharply turned his head only to find that five of his men were missing! At the same time, behind them, the Mutated Rose had silently formed a green wall which now blocked their path. The missing five men were hanging on the wall. Entwined with green vines, they looked like green cocoons, their original forms completely obscured!
Poison Wolf’s reaction was extreme; the others sensed something wrong as well and turned around. They too saw the grim scene. Everyone was terrified, regretting why they had ever accepted this mission! Why had they provoked such a formidable enemy!
Poison Wolf felt an oppressive suffocation as if he were a trapped beast, hopelessly caught in a trap set by the enemy, desperately wanting to escape but utterly powerless, left only to await his death!
He glanced at Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin not far away, clenched his teeth, and shouted loudly, "Bai Ye, as long as you don’t kill me, I can work for you! I can kill for you! I’m willing to do anything, just spare me!"
Bai Ye didn’t respond, but Fang Yuxin asked, "Tell me, who sent you to capture my Contracted Beast?"
