Chapter 268 The Night Beast Appears

Not only Xu Ning found it strange, but everyone else also had doubts.

"They disappeared without leaving a trace, but we found their belongings right at the start of the search... Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence..."

Zhang He spoke directly.

After Zhang He finished speaking, everyone else fell silent.

"Senior Dong, what's your opinion?"

Duan Chaofeng asked Dong Ji.

"We need to go check it out."

Dong Ji said, "Regardless of whether it's suspicious or not, we have to see it for ourselves to find out the truth."

"Who's going?"

Duan Chaofeng asked again.

"I'll go."

Zhang He volunteered: "Apart from Lord Dong, I am the strongest here."

In Zhang He's mind, Duan Chaofeng's safety was the top priority, and Dong Ji was responsible for taking care of his safety.

Duan Chaofeng pondered for a moment: "Senior Dong, please go."

"Zhang He, you are not yet at the high level of the Dao Realm. If you encounter any trouble, it will be difficult for you to solve it."

Duan Chaofeng was also worried about Zhang He's safety: "If our previous speculation is correct, the missing people were attacked by the Night Beasts. Then there might be Night Beasts lurking near the items they left behind."

"You're definitely no match for the Nightbeast."

Zhang He was Duan Chaofeng's most important confidant, and no one else could replace him.

"But Senior Dong is gone, Your Highness, what about your safety...?"

Zhang He felt that there was a hidden danger on the island.

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

"It's alright."

Duan Chaofeng said, "I will go with Senior Dong. With Senior Dong by my side, I don't need to worry about my safety."

"You're going in person?"

Zhang He should have stopped it.

Dong Ji was also somewhat cautious.

"Don't worry too much, I also want to participate in the operation to capture the Soyamon."

Duan Chaofeng looked at Dong Ji: "What does Senior Dong think?"

"Can."

Dong Ji finally nodded: "If we encounter danger, we can simply store the young master in my spatial treasure. In a critical moment, I can take the young master and leave directly."

Since Duan Chaofeng and Dong Jidu had both made the decision, the rest of their trusted followers naturally had to follow suit.

The crown prince went to the front, while they were still recuperating in the rear.

"Let's go."

Duan Chaofeng said.

"yes!"

Everyone, including Xu Ning, responded.

……

"Your Highness, this is it!"

Led by the guards, the group arrived at a desolate field overgrown with weeds.

"What a desolate feeling..."

Xu Ning glanced around and saw a patch of weeds, half a meter tall, swaying in the wind.

Although the monsters on this island are not numerous, they are all of a high level, and the plants are extremely vigorous.

Such a scene of withered, lifeless weeds in the wilderness is extremely rare.

"This is the sword worn by the guards of our Prince's Palace."

The guard who discovered the lost items pointed them out to the group: "And there are also the pill bottles that the Beast Taming Masters lost."

Sure enough, there were scattered items nearby.

"These things don't seem to have been lost unintentionally..."

Zhang He said, "It's more like they were deliberately dumped here."

"good."

Xu Ning also expressed his agreement.

"Be careful, everyone."

Dong Ji spoke up, reminding us, "I have a feeling that these lost items are like bait, luring us all here."

Dong Ji's words resonated with everyone.

Just as they were exploring further, preparing to investigate some other clues...

On the other side of the wilderness, another group of people arrived.

Xu Ning saw Xue Jinghua at the front of that crowd.

"Um?"

Duan Chaofeng looked into the distance and immediately spotted Mo Lan in the crowd.

"Mo Lan is here too..."

Duan Chaofeng raised an eyebrow: "Could it be that they, like us, also suspect the appearance of the Nightbeast, and therefore directly dispatched their main elite forces to capture it?"

"Your Highness, we met with Princess Mo Lan's people here when we were searching for the missing person. They were also searching for the missing person before."

At this moment, the guards who were searching for clues outside spoke to Duan Chaofeng again.

"I see..."

Duan Chaofeng nodded.

His guess was correct.

Mo Lan also believes that the missing person was attacked or kidnapped by the Soya Beast.

"Duan Chaofeng!"

On the other side, Mo Lan naturally also noticed the people from the Ye Wang Mansion.

Duan Chaofeng had no intention of paying attention to Mo Lan, but Mo Lan led her people over on her own initiative.

"Is this Princess Mo Lan...?"

Looking at the woman in men's clothing with an imposing air, Xu Ning thought to himself, "Like Duan Chaofeng, she has the air of someone in a superior position. You can tell at a glance that she is a member of the royal family."

"It's been so many years, and you're still the same."

Mo Lan's words sounded like a polite greeting, but her tone was somewhat aggressive.

"There's no need to beat around the bush. We're here for the Nightbeast."

Duan Chaofeng showed no interest in pleasantries and remained indifferent to Mo Lan.

Mo Lan smiled lightly, not really caring.

"Duan Chaofeng, based on our deductions, the Night Beast is probably nearby."

Mo Lan seemed to have a deeper understanding of the Soothie Beasts: "It's possible that the Soothie Beasts had already set their sights on us when we first set foot on this island."

"The Soyamon are extremely intelligent, vigilant, and vengeful. They must have observed our actions over the past two days. They must have sensed our malice before launching this sneak attack."

"Why are you telling me all this? Do you expect us to form an alliance?"

Duan Chaofeng showed no politeness to Mo Lan.

"I wouldn't dare say we've formed an alliance, but I just feel that as fellow members of the royal family, there's absolutely no need for us to be at odds. I also don't want you to encounter any danger here."

Mo Lan's words were very magnanimous.

Duan Chaofeng sneered and ignored her.

"The people from the Ye Wang Mansion are searching for traces of the Soya Beast in the vicinity."

Duan Chaofeng turned around and gave orders to the others.

"Yes."

At this point, the people from Ye Wangfu stopped gathering and went about their respective tasks.

"Let the people of the Prince Nuo's Mansion begin their operation."

Seeing Duan Chaofeng's cold attitude, Mo Lan shook her head and said to the person beside her.

Thus, the two sides, while remaining wary of each other, conducted their own distinct searches.

And a hilltop in the distance.

Several figures were secretly watching them.

"Lord Chuhe, your secret treasure for concealing your aura is indeed powerful."

His voice is like that of a fierce eagle.

This group of people were the same gray-robed figures who had arrived at the island at the same time as both sides.

Shortly after they arrived on the archipelago, they discovered the combined forces of the Ye Wang Mansion and Mo Lan.

They also learned that both sides shared the same goal: to find the Soyamon.

However, even knowing the identities of their competitors, these gray-robed men were not intimidated at all.

Because their strength is by no means inferior.

The one leading the group, known as Lord Chu He, was also a high-level Grandmaster of the Dao Realm.

The others, including Lie Ying, a master of beast taming, were all grandmasters at the sixth or fifth level of the Dao Realm.

Even with such strength, they remained extremely cautious during their search for the Nightbeast.

Each operation was personally led by Chu He, who used top-tier concealment treasures to hide his aura.

This meant that neither Duan Chaofeng's camp nor Princess Molan's camp knew that there was another powerful and cunning opponent in the vicinity of this sea area.

"Fiery Eagle, are you sure the Night Beast is really going to show itself?"

At this moment, Chu He took the initiative to ask Lie Ying, who was beside him.

"It should be."

Fierce Eagle responded, "The disappearance of their people is most likely the work of the Nightbeasts. Nightbeasts are extremely vengeful and show no mercy to those who might pose a threat to them."

Chu He nodded, clearly indicating that he was at the level of a beast taming master like the newcomer, Lie Ying.

"There's just one thing I don't understand."

Lie Ying said, "These two groups of people were clearly lured here. That Shuo Ye Beast is only at the mid-stage of the Dao Realm. Even if it wanted to eliminate all enemies that threaten it at once, it would be impossible for it to do so."

"We'll just wait and see."

Chu He said, "If the Soya Beast is really about to appear, then the two sides will definitely compete fiercely to capture it. At that time, we can take advantage of the chaos to seize it."

"Um……"

Fierce Eagle nodded.

……

Meanwhile, Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan's men were still wandering around that open field.

Sudden.

A strange sound echoed in everyone's ears.

The voice was soft, but it had a seductive power that made people feel somewhat depressed.

"What's going on!?"

Xu Ning immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

bass!

In that overgrown wilderness, within a radius of one kilometer emanating from the center, a sudden burst of black light appeared.

This black light enveloped everyone on both Duan Chaofeng's and Mo Lan's sides.

"not good!"

Dong Ji's expression changed drastically.

"Your Highness, run!"

Ignoring the others, Dong Ji grabbed Duan Chaofeng by the shoulder, trying to pull him out of the dark light area.

However, as it reached the edge of the black light, a black, semi-transparent light curtain suddenly appeared, then rose upwards to form a circular top surface, quickly sealing off the entire space.

"drink!"

Dong Ji's fist suddenly blazed with energy, and he punched the black light barrier, but to no avail.

On the black light screen, only a ripple appeared; not even a crack appeared.

"We're trapped!"

Xu Ning also witnessed Dong Ji's inability to shatter the black light barrier.

If even Dong Ji couldn't escape, I certainly won't be able to either.

"Princess, we're trapped!"

On the other side, Xue Jinghua was also shocked and she protected Mo Lan by her side.

"Come closer, everyone!"

At this moment, Dong Ji gathered the people from Ye Wangfu together, huddling together for warmth, and Xu Ning also followed.

"look!"

Suddenly, someone pointed to the air.

A flying black shadow gradually descended from outside the black light area and pierced through the black light barrier.

It was a monster that was over ten meters long, slender, and had more than a dozen long black legs, resembling an insect.

Its head is triangular in shape and has a sharp spike on it.

Its deep blue eyes held a cold expression.

Black currents swirled around it.

"Suoyemon!"

At that moment, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
