The White-Clad Leader realized it was too late to take any action now. At this moment, it was staring at him intently, as if it truly wanted to swallow him whole.
He could no longer care about the lives of so many brothers in his hands; his grip weakened, and he could no longer hold onto anything. The white-clad warriors let out desperate screams as they were directly sucked into the Vortex.
Although it was not the giant mouth of a monster, its power was formidable. Once they were pulled in, they vanished like extinguished light, completely unaware of what conditions would allow them to escape, or if they would simply be trapped there forever.
"Boss, we hate you!" Even until the end, their cries seemed to echo from the depths of hell. The white-clad warriors suddenly lost the pull of the White-Clad Leader and were sucked into the Vortex. Their wails were so piercing that even Wang Long and Jiang Xue, who were closest, felt a chill run down their spines.
However, the White-Clad Leader could no longer concern himself with such matters; he swayed and attempted to evade the monster directly in front of him.
Yet, in the midst of his movement, the monster suddenly vanished from sight. The cave returned to silence, and the White-Clad Leader turned his head in shock, looking around but finding no trace of the creature.
"Where is it? Where is it?" he shouted in fear, drawing his weapon and spinning around in what he believed was a foolproof defense.
Wang Long and Jiang Xue could see that the beast had retreated back into the wall. It could emerge from anywhere along that wall again, and when it did, it would likely be far more dangerous than before.
However, they did not share this information with the White-Clad Leader. Both remained on high alert; neither could guarantee that the beast's target was solely the White-Clad Leader—both of them were equally at risk!
"Roar!" While the White-Clad Leader was still caught in a state of fear and madness, the beast seemed to have determined that this enemy was no match for it. It took advantage of circling around behind the White-Clad Leader and charged forward.
The White-Clad Leader sensed something amiss and swung his sword in an attempt to turn and fight for his life against the monster.
"It's over." This thought flashed simultaneously through Wang Long's and Jiang Xue's minds.
The sword strike missed. At the last moment, the beast shrank back into the wall just as that sword light struck the surface but failed to harm it. In an instant, it shifted position again and appeared behind the White-Clad Leader.
"Ah!" A scream erupted as the White-Clad Leader lunged forward at a critical moment. Although he avoided a fatal blow, he was severely injured. His body had now been thrust into the range of the Vortex's pull and was violently dragged toward it. He had no choice but to plunge his sword into the ground to brace himself against being met with a fate as tragic as his fallen companions.
Even so, he had lost any chance for a counterattack; if that beast struck again, there would be no escaping for him!
However, there was no movement.
Wang Long and Jiang Xue exchanged glances and simultaneously understood what had happened.
The only fear is that this Vortex is so powerful that the beast has already suffered from it before, so it is extremely cautious about it and now dares not attack, fearing it might also be absorbed by this Vortex.
“Shen Walking Dragon Technique! Illusion Technique!”
Wang Long felt a sudden impulse and used a lower-level Shen Walking Dragon Technique. Suddenly, the beast reappeared from the wall and lunged in mid-air. However, it only shattered Wang Long's illusion without achieving any results. Furious, it glared at Wang Long and once again plunged into the stone wall.
“It hasn't left yet,” Wang Long made a judgment.
“Are you seriously not going to stop talking?” The White-Clad Leader was still astonished, wondering what kind of madness had taken over Wang Long. Was he trying to divert the hatred towards himself? He never expected that after all that commotion, he would come to such a conclusion.
Why does this person have so much nonsense to say!
“We must be prepared,” Wang Long ignored the White-Clad Leader, as he didn't need to worry about his life. “Once this Vortex disappears, it will immediately attack us.”
“Vortex disappearing? Ha! I think before it disappears, we'll exhaust our Spiritual Essence and get sucked in first. How tragic! Whether we persist or not, dying faster is still dying. I feel sorry for the brothers of the Dragon Leap Clan!”
“Dragon Leap Clan?” Both Wang Long and Jiang Xue were taken aback. What kind of race was this? Why had they never heard Song Shuping and others mention this name before? Wasn't it said that currently in the divine realm there were only the Giant Clan, Demon Clan, divine beings, Yin Ghost Clan, beasts, and wild animals?
How could a new race that looks similar to ordinary people suddenly emerge?
With the existence of this Dragon Leap Clan, could there be other new races in the divine realm that they had not discovered? What was their strength like?
Questions swirled in Wang Long's mind.
Jiang Xue understood that the White-Clad Leader still had some value for them and slowly explained, “This beast has probably been living here for an unknown amount of time. It has likely been here longer than those wild animals outside and probably has a deeper understanding of certain things here, such as this Vortex. If it judges that we won't survive until the Vortex disappears, then it would have turned around and left by now. It could even rest if there was still plenty of time before the disappearance of the Vortex. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been affected by the Illusion. However, its current behavior indicates that this Vortex is about to disappear soon. At that time, it will definitely launch a surprise attack while we are still adapting to the sudden change in environment. If we are unprepared, we will surely die without a burial place!”
“Ah!” Upon hearing this, the white-clad man initially thought there was a chance of escape but turned pale upon hearing the latter part of the statement.
In his view, being sucked into the Vortex and dying might be more comfortable than being devoured alive by that beast.
“Of course, we still have a chance to survive as long as we can launch a counterattack when it attacks you,” Jiang Xue took on a supportive role while Wang Long naturally played the antagonist. He sneered disdainfully, “Oh dear, some people are just weak, slow to react, and positioned further out. How pitiful! They're doomed!”
"Two, two of you." The man in white struggled painfully for a long time before forcing out a smile that looked worse than crying. "It was my fault for not recognizing Heavenly Dragon Mountain and offending the two immortals. We can talk things over; there’s no deep grudge between us. We just met today, right? Why make it a life-or-death situation? Besides, in a place like this, having more allies means more strength~~~"
Wang Long and Jiang Xue felt goosebumps from his trembling voice.
"Now we're allies? No grudges? Who was it just now that cursed us for killing his subordinates and wanted to fight us to the death? If we save you and then you turn around and harm us, wouldn’t that be saving a thankless wolf? Forget it, we won't take that risk."
When the white-clad Leader heard an opening, his smile became much more natural. "Please don’t say that, esteemed immortals. We can discuss this. After witnessing your strength, I no longer dare to have any bad thoughts. Moreover, my subordinates are all dead; I wouldn’t dare do anything against you two. You are my hope of surviving! Oh right, everything in this cave, including all the offerings and Extraordinary Treasures, will belong to you! I no longer dare to have any extravagant hopes."
It seemed his confidence had truly collapsed. Comparing the current state of the man in white with how he had confidently commanded outside the cave, Wang Long sighed inwardly but could generally confirm that this person really wouldn’t dare to oppose them in the short term. This made both of them willing to give it a try.
"Alright then, you stay alert and be ready for when this Vortex disappears. Remember, at that time, the beast will definitely launch a surprise attack on you. Don’t be deceived by any appearances; when the time comes, strike without holding back!"
"Uh, will that be enough to deal with that beast?" The White-Clad Leader asked uncertainly.
"Don’t worry; we’re here, right?" Wang Long replied confidently.
"Uh, well... okay."
