Chapter 1112: Chapter 1098: Ambush Chapter 1112: Chapter 1098: Ambush Nangong Yan beca even more excited and slapped his hand again, saying, “Why didn’t you say that earlier?”
“Hey, I’m also made of flesh; my arm is really hurting,” Ye Chen rubbed his arm.
“But can we really handle them?” Ouyang Yue asked doubtfully.
Now they had only about seven or eight hundred people at their disposal.
Ye Chen smiled, “That’s enough. Pan Jianglong definitely won’t bring all his n to bear. He’ll surely be careless this ti. Besides, if we can’t defeat them, we’ll just leave.”
Shao Hengjiang and Nangong Yao both agreed. Since they were here waiting for the enemy to attack, why not set a trap? Maybe they would succeed.
Nangong Yao asked Shao Hengjiang, “Is it feasible?”
“It should be. Our n won’t arrive for another three days. Since that’s the case, let’s design a trap to see if we can deal them a heavy blow, which would also help us eliminate Pan Jianglong.”
Ye Chen said, “Alright, I’ve given my suggestion, and it’s out there. If you want to do it, go ahead. I believe they’ll soon make a move against us.” He was about to head off in another direction.
“Hey, you haven’t given a specific plan yet,” Nangong Yan called out.
“Don’t worry, the two seniors are experienced; they’ll surely know what to do,” Ye Chen was already moving further away.
Ouyang Yue said, “Uncle Master, I’ll have Jiu Hu assist you then.”
Shao Hengjiang fell silent for a mont.
Ye Chen continued to wander forward.
“With such good advice, why didn’t you say it earlier,” Nangong Yan trotted after him.
Ye Chen laughed and said, “Am I like you, who loves to show off so much?”
“Nonsense, I’m not soone who shows off.”
“Go find soone else to play with. Don’t keep pestering . I want to sleep, but I can’t even do that.”
“Who says I won’t let you sleep?”
“Chattering non-stop next to my ear like firecrackers, how could I possibly sleep?” Ye Chen continued on his way.
“I just hate it when you talk like that.”
“Go find soone else to play with, girl. I’m not suitable for you, not interested in you.”
Hearing this, Nangong Yan was really not pleased but also knew that he was distancing himself from her, probably not wanting her to get too involved. Yet, she still couldn’t help but brazenly follow him.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“Of course, I’m going to find a female monkey,” Ye Chen replied.
Nangong Yan snorted through her nose.
Night fell quickly, and the surroundings beca quiet. anwhile, Shao Hengjiang and Nangong Yao also ca up with a plan. They decided to follow Ye Chen’s suggestion to set a trap for Pan Jianglong’s n, to seek justice for those who had died.
After eliminating Qiandu Xiang, Yin Qi found Pan Jianglong, with Silver Fox also present.
Third brother Yin Qi said, “Boss, they’ve joined forces.”
Second brother Silver Fox laughed coldly and said, “Heh, they think everything’s fine just because they’ve joined forces? They think this is their ho? Here on Xiyue Island, we’re the ones in charge.”
Yin Qi pondered for a while and said, “They must have been scared. I guess they won’t continue forward easily, afraid of falling into a trap. Our plan to trap them is no longer feasible.”
Their leader Pan Jianglong asked, “How many do they have now?”
“After joining forces, roughly seven hundred,” Yin Qi opened the map, saying, “They’ve been camped in this position for three days. If I’m not mistaken, they’re probably waiting for reinforcents.”
“Waiting for soone? Who?” Silver Fox asked curiously.
Yin Qi analyzed, “We destroyed their ships; they can’t defeat . If no ships are allowed to co in, they can’t return. They’re likely waiting for help.”
Silver Fox responded, “Then let’s eliminate them before their help arrives. Seven hundred n only; if we pull together a thousand, we can easily wipe them out.”
Yin Qi added, “I estimate it will take another two or three days for their people to get here. We still have enough ti, but since they’re not moving forward, we can’t use the sa thod we did with Qiandu Xiang against them.”
Pan Jianglong nodded slightly and said, “The terrain here is rather open, not a good spot for an ambush.”
“Right, they anticipated this; they chose this spot to camp to guard against our attacks.”
Silver Fox, having just won a victory, was full of energy and said, “They think they’re safe like this? If we can’t release river water or blow up mountains, then we set a fire.”
“No, this isn’t a good place for fire either,” Yin Qi, knowing the terrain on their side, said that trees were sparse, making fire attacks difficult.
“Then draw the monsters to them. We know this best, whether it’s the flying kind, the ones with sharp claws and teeth, the colossal creatures; we can lead them all over, then encircle them. Let’s see if they can withstand that.”
“It seems that’s the only option left,” Yin Qi continued, “Given the current situation, they’re definitely waiting for reinforcents. If we can eliminate them before their people arrive, that would be best.”
Pan Jianglong kept nodding.
Silver Fox said, “No more need to talk, let’s wipe them out and be done with it.”
Yin Qi looked towards Pan Jianglong; everything still depended on his nod.
“Before their people arrive, let’s wipe them out first. However many co, that’s how many we’ll eliminate. Then we can take our ti searching for the Key Box,” Silver Fox plotted.
“Alright, number three, do as you said. Surround them tomorrow, lure the monsters over, and don’t let a single one escape. After wiping them out, we’ll find the Key Box. I believe it’s definitely in that girl’s hands,” Pan Jianglong gave the order.
“Good, you can count on . I’ll start preparing right now.”
Silver Fox added, “Right, hurry up, before their people co. Let’s take them out first. On our turf, we call the shots.”
Yin Qi withdrew.
For Shao Hengjiang and Nangong Yao, the plan was to secretly move people out, and that too without a sound. Since it needed to be silent, that ant using the cover of night. They prepared to start the plan after the third watch.
Shao Hengjiang found Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, you’ll lead a group of people to serve as bait.”
“What? You’re joking. You want to be the bait?” Ye Chen was truly impressed with the other party.
“You ca up with the plan, so naturally, you should be the bait. More importantly, with your high martial arts skills, I believe you won’t have any issues.”
“You really think highly of . I give up,” Ye Chen almost cursed himself. How did I develop such a penchant for self-punishnt? To actually devise a plan and then make myself the bait in that plan is just too ironic.
“Hey, soone has to be on the inside. You wouldn’t want an old guy like in there as bait, would you? Especially since I’m still injured.”
“Why can’t you do it?” Ye Chen countered.
“With your martial arts being so strong, and still injured, do you have the heart to let be trapped in the encirclent?”
“And you have the heart to let go in?”
“I trust in your abilities.”
“You really think highly of . I don’t even trust myself that much.”
“Stop dawdling, it’s settled; it’ll be you. After you wipe them out, we’ll go in search of the Sacred Spirit Stone and help you regenerate.”
“It seems I don’t have much of a choice,” Ye Chen said.
“Indeed, you don’t,” Shao Hengjiang affird.
“Then why co to discuss with at all? You could have just announced it.”
“Still, I had to run it by you. One cannot disregard others entirely.”
Ye Chen sneered silently, no longer speaking.
Shao Hengjiang continued, “Tomorrow morning, we’ll make the move, leaving you with a hundred n. You will lure them in, and once they enter, we’ll launch a counter-encirclent.”
“Why do I have to be so foolish, turning myself into bait,” Ye Chen mumbled to himself.
“Stop whining. You’ve been here a while, and I believe you want to settle things quickly, just like . Do you really want to waste more months on this island?”
Nangong Yan and Ouyang Yue, carrying delicious food, walked over, only to see Ye Chen with a worried expression. Nangong Yan asked with a smile, “Why such a long face? What happened?”
Ye Chen replied coldly, “It’s just my own brilliant doing, stirring up trouble for myself.”
“What do you an?”
“I had to suggest using bait to lure Pan Jianglong’s n in, and now it’s co to this— becoming the bait. I really outdid myself,” Ye Chen said despondently.
Nangong Yan, who had heard so of the story, chuckled and said, “That’s because of their trust in you that they wanted you to be the bait.”
“I’d rather do without that kind of trust—I prefer to live a bit longer,” Ye Chen snorted.
“Hey, don’t be like that. Believe in yourself. With your skill set so high, I’m sure this ti you’ll definitely succeed.”
“You and your father are really cut from the sa cloth, tricking people in the sa way.”
Nangong Yan glared at Ye Chen.
Ouyang Yue giggled and said, “After you’re done being angry, have sothing to eat.”
Ye Chen’s stomach was indeed getting hungry.
Ye Chen shook his head, saying, “Let’s get this over with quickly. I really don’t want to stay here anymore; I want to go back to the Central Plains.”
“I’m afraid once you get back to the Central Plains, you’ll see the person you like has married soone else, and you might change your mind,” Nangong Yan ntioned.
“Stop teasing . I just want a good night’s sleep, and I don’t want to think about anything else.”
“Have you figured out what you’ll do once you get back?” she asked.
This question really stumped Ye Chen. He didn’t say anything and continued eating.
But after thinking it over, there really wasn’t much to consider. The past was past; those things were all in the past. He had been troubling over one issue these days, and that was whether he really had feelings for Guo Yuyun. There’s no way he didn’t have any feelings for her, but perhaps his feelings for Guo Yuqing were deeper.
Yet how could he explain what had happened in Bell and Drum City?
