Chapter 1185: Descending Soldier From Heaven
Luo Ya said to Lin Yuan, “Fu Di went mad from the pressure of facing the Class 2 subterranean dimensional rift and started spewing nonsense. He wanted me to take him with me, but the Mist Reverse Poison Moth can’t take three people.
She stopped for a moment before whispering, “I chose you and not Fu Di!”
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. He now truly knew how much Luo Ya cared for him to the point that he remained her priority during a life-and-death situation.
He looked at the wave of subterranean lifeforms and thought, This unexpected situation wrecked my and Liu Jie’s original plan. It’s now up to Liu Jie how he wants to make his entrance.
Luo Ya was so resigned to her fate that she did not notice Lin Yuan’s calm demeanor.
Mr. Feng and Jiazhi kept their eyes on Lin Yuan while they led the Sincere Merchant Group against the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps.
Lin Yuan’s dignified aura had caught their attention from the moment they met him.
It did not make sense for a person with such an aura to appear amongst this small merchant group.
Moreover, Genius’ presence was much more convincing than Lin Yuan’s torn-up spirit qi clothes.
Mr. Feng had never seen this eight-tailed cat-species fey before, nor could he sense its power.
However, its fur was already more valuable than the entire Sincere Merchant Group.
Mr. Feng and Feng Jiazhi ran to Lin Yuan, and Mr. Feng said, “I didn’t mean to offend you. If you have any means of escaping, please bring my grandson, Bean.”
Mr. Feng gestured at Feng Jiazhi to hand Bean over to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was shocked and did not reach out to receive Bean.
As he gazed at Bean’s large eyes and innocent smile, Lin Yuan came to a decision.
If Liu Jie did not make it in time to defeat the wave of subterranean lifeforms, he would save this child.
Mr. Feng hurriedly took out ten Silver Item-Storing Walnuts and said, “I obtained these resources when I traveled east. If you can save Bean, I shall give all these to you.”
He paused for a moment before adding, “I only have these for now. If I ever obtain any more, I shall give them all to you as well.”
Lin Yuan looked at Mr. Feng, and Feng Jiazhi, who was holding Bean with his lips tightly pressed together, and said, “What if I can save all three of you?”
Luo Ya, Mr. Feng, and Feng Jiazhi froze in astonishment when they heard what Lin Yuan said.
Mr. Feng looked at Feng Jiazhi before he looked at the members of the Sincere Merchant Group and said, “Some of these people have been with me for over 40 years while others have been with me for over ten years. All of us are old friends. I can’t bear to leave them. Those who started following me in their youth now have children or even grandchildren who are all following me as well. I would rather die with honor than live with guilt in my heart.”
Feng Jiazhi gnashed his teeth and said, “I’ve been with the Sincere Merchant Group from the moment I was born. My mother and wife are also part of the Sincere Merchant Group. The Sincere Merchant Group is my home. I won’t leave either. Please, if you can, save Bean. He’s still young and ignorant. I only hope that he can continue living. It might be selfish for me to say this, but as long as Bean lives, I’ll live through him. He is the legacy of my bloodline.”
Lin Yuan saw absolute loyalty in Mr. Feng and Feng Jiazhi.
There was no guarantee that such a morally upstanding merchant group would be able to find success in this messy world. However, they would definitely make the best business partners.
Lin Yuan gently touched Bean’s face and said, “The sudden appearance of another dimensional rift caused me to be separated from my retainer. The opening of the pinnacle Class 2 subterranean dimensional rift caused such strong effects that it’ll definitely attract my retainer. Once he’s here, everything will be fine.”
Before Mr. Feng and Feng Jiazhi could react, a member of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps cried out in terror, “We’re done for! The subterranean lifeforms are closing in! Get out of my way! Ah! My legs are breaking!”
At first, the Class 4 Land Imp was the one leading the subterranean lifeforms.
However, a black Stone Statue Monster had flown out of the pinnacle Class 2 subterranean dimensional rift and sent the sea of subterranean lifeforms into a frenzy.
The Land Imp and Stone Statue Monster started competing over leadership over the subterranean lifeforms.
It did not take long for the 300 members of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps who were closest to the sea of subterranean lifeforms to be killed.
As the members of the Sincere Merchant Group were about to become the subterranean lifeforms’ next target, Lin Yuan prepared to instruct the Source Sand to take action.
An overwhelming aura swept across the wave of subterranean beasts at that moment.
This aura did not strike fear into the hearts of the dimensional lifeforms like the Kill Food Sky Butterfly’s aura did, but it did immediately catch the attention of all the dimensional lifeforms present.
Shortly after, many enormous spiderwebs appeared in the air and trapped the dimensional lifeforms on the ground.
The dimensional lifeforms were still alive but immobile.
Lin Yuan noticed many translucent spiders on the webs. Each spider was smaller than a fingernail, but they were the ones spinning this giant web.
As the spiderweb was spun even thicker and stickier, all the dimensional lifeforms were well and truly stuck.
At the end of the spiderwebs was a man dressed in silver armor.
A glowing moth flew above the man’s head, and every flap of its wings sent out faint dimensional fluctuations.
To the members of the Sincere Merchant Group and Luo Ya who were waiting for their impending death, the man in silver armor was like a descending soldier from heaven.
