Dragon's Origin

## Chapter 502: The Great Trap (Part 2)

The barbarian experts didn't know who they were tracking, only that they were outsiders. The damned outsiders had not only secretly entered their homeland but also taken away one of their descendants. Furthermore, they were the people the heavenly envoy had said must be killed. What else was there to say?

They didn't even know how many people they were tracking. Even after rescuing the young descendant, they couldn't immediately learn from him what had happened, who these people were, or how many there were.

After losing the outsiders' trail by the river, the barbarian experts returned to their homeland, to the newly built city. Soon after, news began to spread throughout the Mountain Yue region that the outsiders had reached the edge of their city and even entered it.

Other tribes successively received the news, and eventually, even the heavenly envoy received the news.

"They've come, as expected!" The heavenly envoy was, of course, Zhu, the old proprietor of Baoqing Yu Tang. He had packaged himself as a charlatan, but he was the only major charlatan in this barbaric land. With both material and spiritual control, he had extended Baoqing Yu Tang's reach throughout the Mountain Yue region in just a few years, while also firmly controlling the entire region.

"If someone comes, it's definitely not just one or two." Old Proprietor Zhu also had his own intelligence channels. He was well aware that more than just Wang Sheng and his group had entered the Mountain Yue region. Xia State alone had sent in two to three hundred experts, seemingly with the intention of launching another military conquest.

"The time is almost right. Let's close the net!" Old Proprietor Zhu estimated the distance from the third city to Xia State. They were almost two hundred miles deep. Such a large area was enough to prevent those who had entered from escaping.

Countless barbarian experts poured out of various cities into the mountains and forests, in groups of at least dozens, each group accompanied by several guide beasts, beginning to search for traces of the outsiders, centered on their respective cities.

Another group of experts quickly headed straight for the edge of the Mountain Yue region, not looking for any traces of outsiders along the way. Their mission was to encircle the periphery. Once they reached the edge of that special forest, they would turn around and begin the hunt.

No one knew how sensitive Wang Sheng's sense of smell had become, and no one could imagine that Wang Sheng's nose could actually rival a guide beast. Trying to track Wang Sheng was almost like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Of course, even without such a sensitive nose, Wang Sheng's anti-tracking skills would still be enough to shake off these barbarians' pursuit. It was a joke. If Wang Sheng, who had undergone such scientific training and been tested on the hellish battlefield on Earth, could be tracked by a group of semi-civilized barbarians, it would be too embarrassing.

Earlier, when running to the river, Wang Sheng only shouted to A-Qi and the old Taoist, "Jump!" He took the lead and jumped into the river without hesitation. A-Qi and the old Taoist followed suit without the slightest hesitation.

The滔滔 river water completely washed and enveloped the three of them. At this time, even if it was a guide beast, even a demon beast with a sense of smell ten or a hundred times stronger than a guide beast, it would not be able to track them by the unique smell on their bodies.

Underwater, Wang Sheng's Five-Word Formula was activated, and there would be no游鱼 within at least several feet of him. Sometimes, it was even safer than on land.

As soon as they entered the water, A-Qi and the old Taoist discovered that Wang Sheng had put on goggles and had a strange thing in front of him. Wang Sheng gestured for the two to grab his arm, gave each of them an oxygen tank, and told them to hold the breathing mouthpiece in their mouths. Only then did he input spiritual Qi to make the impeller of the underwater submersible rotate.

The old Taoist almost immediately saw through the principle of this underwater submersible. It relied on Wang Sheng's spiritual Qi to drive the rotation of the formation, which drove the impeller, and then pulled the three forward.

With breathable oxygen, the three didn't need to surface at all. They went directly underwater, drifting at least ten miles along the water flow before landing.

The two were no longer surprised that Wang Sheng could take out these incredible things at any time. The old Taoist was not curious at all. He threw the oxygen tank back to Wang Sheng as soon as he landed, but A-Qi was reluctant to let go of the oxygen tank. If he had such a thing, how convenient would it be to hide underwater and assassinate targets in the future?

"The gas inside won't last long." Wang Sheng smiled and didn't force him to return it, but warned him.

Without Wang Sheng's strength, without the inflated air cylinders made by those grandmasters for Wang Sheng, no one in this world could compress air more than two hundred or three hundred times and fill it into steel cylinders. Even if A-Qi revealed this secret, no one would be able to use it in the same way.

After coming out of the water, the three found a safe place to change their clothes. After entering the water once and drifting for more than ten miles, the smell on their bodies had been completely washed away. Even Wang Sheng couldn't smell a trace.

This also meant that Wang Sheng, A-Qi, and the old Taoist, because of this cleaning, would no longer be tracked by those barbarian guide beasts, and directly changed from foreigners to be hunted into fish that jumped out of the search net. Although they couldn't guarantee 100% that they wouldn't be discovered, at least they could move freely without worrying about being tracked.

"Continue wandering inside, or go back?" Wang Sheng also analyzed the situation for the two of them before asking them.

"You don't want to find Zhu Xingsheng's whereabouts?" The old Taoist asked in surprise. Zhu Xingsheng was the name of Zhu, the old proprietor of Baoqing Yu Tang.

"I'm not looking for him anymore." Wang Sheng shook his head: "He has already set up a big net here. We would be foolish to drill into the battlefield he arranged. Anyway, since he's playing so big, the various principalities won't let him go, so why do we have to risk our lives to find him?"

"I'll listen to you!" The old Taoist nodded without saying a word. He knew that his analysis and judgment in this regard were definitely not as good as Wang Sheng's, so he would not make decisions in this regard at all. When he was with Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng basically made the decisions.

As for A-Qi, he would not say no to Wang Sheng's decision.

Since they had made a decision, the three were not the kind of people who dilly-dallied. They left as soon as they said they would, immediately identified the direction and headed straight for the northern direction. The Mountain Yue region was in the south of Xia State, but it was not only Xia State that bordered the Mountain Yue region, but also Feng State and Tang State. Passing through Xia State was only because it was convenient to come from the capital. Now that they were leaving, Wang Sheng decisively decided to go straight to Tang State.

Although Wang Sheng's decision was considered decisive, it was still a bit late. Baoqing Yu Tang had been preparing for a long time. When the three retreated about fifty miles, they ran head-on into the barbarian search team.

"There are experts ahead, a lot of people. We can't go forward." Lingxu Old Taoist discovered the existence of the other party one step ahead of time and stopped Wang Sheng and A-Qi from continuing to move forward. At the same time, Wang Sheng also discovered that there were people ahead.
