Chapter 496 - 321 Urgent Time_2
Looking at the four people, Lan Feng let out a heavy sigh. The Phoenix’s soul stood up and walked toward Yan Xiaobao, who was in a dazed state. Without ceremony or any regret, the Phoenix kicked Yan Xiaobao’s consciousness, causing him to fall and awaken, his eyes full of shock.
As soon as Yan Xiaobao woke up, a loud howl reached his ears. It sounded like the cry of a wounded beast. Yan Xiaobao swiftly manipulated the blue cloud and took over the red fog once a calming and soothing atmosphere emerged.
When they saw these changes, the four King-level experts were dumbfounded, as the wolf-like beast transformed into a youthful white-haired man. They couldn’t fathom what had just occurred. Their astonishment deepened when they felt the dense essence emanating from the blue clouds covering the sky and earth around them.
When his gaze locked onto the young man, the Captain felt a pang in his chest. Though he had long decided that the top priority was to deliver the cargo to the Capital, he still intended to bring along the prisoner. There was a stark difference between losing his personnel for a prisoner’s escape and completing a successful mission with them.
He cursed softly, resisting the urge to swear at the Dragon Company’s office in Long River Cave for its team mission involving the prisoner. Yet even while cursing, he refrained from approaching the white-haired young man toward whom his friends had once gone.
The Captain clenched his fists, surveying the suddenly quiet surroundings, only to find no bodies left on the ground. All those people had vanished along with the feral young man.
"They’re the ones we encountered at the restaurant," said one of the Kings, his voice trembling with rage as he stared at the destroyed carriage behind him.
"I know," the Captain replied angrily, "Bring those laws into the caravan where we previously held the prisoner and lock the doors. The four of us will have to protect this carriage for the remainder of the journey."
"Well, now that all those weaklings are gone, we can spend the night in peace," another King remarked, trying to maintain a positive outlook. "Not to mention, they’re unlikely to attack us again. They know nothing of our cargo, and even if they did, they wouldn’t know how to use the laws. Besides us, no one can handle them."
"Shut up!" the Captain roared. "Don’t mess up our cargo. Let’s keep moving."
