Chapter 1186: Pry
The pickup truck exploded.
A hemisphere of flames quickly spread until engulfing half of the Apple Island. Blinding red washed over the world. Even the white moon in the sky dimmed in comparison, drowned out by the firelight.
A minute later, the explosion settled.
A crater was left in the heart of Apple Island, surrounded by charred earth and embers of fire. The colors drained away once more. The landscape looked like a battlefield from a black-and-white war movie.
An intact Black Gold dart hid somewhere in the wasteland. A flash of light emerged—the fusion of Nine Frost, Chen Ying, and Harvest Song.
Three Heads Six Arms ran out at that point. The three awakeners separated in a flash of gold. Then Adept Horse slowly descended from above. The pair of miniature Black Gold rockets under his shoes allowed him to stay afloat for long enough to avoid the explosion.
He turned them off and landed on the ground. Nine Frost gave Chen Ying a look. She immediately closed her eyes and used Sensory.
A few seconds later, Chen Ying shook her head. “No higher lifeform in this area.”
To be safe, Nine Frost wordlessly gathered birds with Avian King to look for traces of Greed in a bigger area.
“Plan A actually worked?” Adept Horse breathed. Even he was in disbelief.
Plan A was the first plan Gao Yang formulated for Team Nine Frost. He knew that Team Nine Frost stood little chance against Greed if they launched a frontal attack, but they could try to catch Greed off guard by exploiting Greed’s tendency to suspect everything.
