Chapter 1117 - 1117 1103 Danger Has Not Passed

Chapter 1117: Chapter 1103: Danger Has Not Passed Chapter 1117: Chapter 1103: Danger Has Not Passed It wasn’t long before Nangong Yan arrived, leaning against a rock like a dazed chicken.

Nangong Yan walked over, smiling and asked, “Where’s your ‘mother monkey’?”

Ye Chen looked over and then turned his head away.

“What’s the matter, you’re really worried that your sweetheart has gotten married?” Nangong Yan asked.

Ye Chen said, “I really can’t seem to get rid of you.”

“No way, you came to the mountain to get away from me,” Nangong Yan handed over some food, looked around, the scenery here was actually very beautiful, overlooking the small mountains.

Ye Chen’s stomach was actually a bit hungry.

“Are you avoiding me?” Nangong Yan asked.

“Why would I avoid you?”

“I feel like you’re avoiding me.”

“Then you’re really overthinking it.”

“I hope it’s as you say,” Nangong Yan passed the water skin over.

Ye Chen took a few gulps noisily.

Nangong Yan also sat down, and it wasn’t long before the sun began to rise. Nangong Yan, as if she had never seen the sun before, jumped up cheering and gave Ye Chen quite a start, making him think he had seen a ghost or something.

“Don’t make such a fuss, if Pan Jianglong’s people are really here, they might harass you later.”

Nangong Yan glared at Ye Chen fiercely.

Ye Chen, with his back against the rock, ate the roasted meat.

“What do you think of me as a person?” Nangong Yan asked curiously.

“Brainless.”

“Nonsense, you’re the one without a brain,” Nangong Yan said a bit angrily.

“But it’s true, brainless.”

Nangong Yan kicked him hard and then asked, “I meant to ask if I’m a good person or not?”

“Not good,” Ye Chen obviously knew what the girl was trying to ask.

“You are really annoying,” Nangong Yan said a bit angrily but understood what he meant.

“Girl, what are you thinking about! Don’t overthink things. Let’s just finish this matter and go home. When it’s time to find a boy, go find one. Stop daydreaming.”

“You’re the one daydreaming,” Nangong Yan continued to ask, “If things work out, do you plan to go find her first?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet.”

“Impossible, don’t talk nonsense, how could you not go find her,” Nangong Yan said.

Ye Chen said, “Yeah, I will go find her.”

“Is that your decision?”

To make her give up, Ye Chen nodded and said, “Mm, I don’t want to regret anything. Life, huh! Nothing’s perfect. It’s not easy to find someone who loves you.”

“So you’ve decided to choose the younger sister, right?”

Ye Chen didn’t speak but tacitly agreed with her.

The sunlight became even more dazzling, driving away the fog in the forest; the mist also faded a lot, and many birds came out to forage, fluttering around in the woods.

“Are you struggling with it?”

“There’s nothing to struggle about. At my age, what is there to struggle with?” Ye Chen said.

Nangong Yan gave a cold laugh and said, “You really are joking, only eighteen years old and talking about ‘my age.’

“Although I’m young in age, my heart feels like that of an old man,” Ye Chen said.

Nangong Yan snorted.

Ye Chen continued, “Silly girl, don’t be unaware of the danger.”

“What do you think Pan Jianglong will do next?”

“He’ll definitely do everything he can to deal with us, until he eliminates us.”

“What should we do then?” Nangong Yan knew he was experienced in combat and surely had some ideas.

“Fight fire with fire.”

“What do you mean?”

After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen said, “Lately, haven’t they been wearing us down with their barrier techniques? We can do the same to them, wearing them down until they become weak.”

Nangong Yan then said, “You mean, we sap their strength until they’re exhausted.”

“Of course, even though they’ve been beaten once, the momentum is still on their side. The best tactic is to undercut their confidence and then wait for our reinforcements to arrive before we deal with them together.”

Nangong Yan nodded, seeing that he was indeed very clever, and asked again, “Once our people arrive, how would you deal with them then?”

“First plan would be to take down their lair.”

“Why?”

Ye Chen explained, “Think about it, if they still have their lair, it’s their rock to cling to. If you destroy their lair, they will be homeless, just like us. By then, if our numbers are greater than theirs and with our recent reconnaissance of Xiyue Island, we’ll be no less familiar with the terrain than they are, and we’ll stand a chance.”

“Right, it’d be great if we could destroy their lair.” Nangong Yan suddenly reconsidered and said, “Do you really think they’re that foolish, to easily let us take down their lair?”

Ye Chen laughed and said, “It seems you’re not too naive. Obviously, it’s difficult for you to take down their lair on your own, but if we have enough people and conduct a covert operation to lure most of them out, then it will be a different story.”

Nangong Yan gave it some serious thought, found it reasonable, and said, “Yeah, that’s true. Iron Ten Thousand Island is sending two ships, and our Immortal Medicine Island will also send one, so we’ll definitely outnumber them. I see a chance for success.”

“Hmm, but this operation must be conducted in secrecy.”

With a touch of excitement, Nangong Yan said, “If we can destroy their lair, they will surely panic, and that will be our opportunity. Let’s see if they can remain as composed by then.” While speaking, she patted Ye Chen and added, “Your mind really works well.”

“Don’t celebrate too soon. Survive their assault first, and then we’ll see. The most important thing is you, be careful not to get captured. I think that big fellow has taken a liking to you; he always seems to want to get his hands on you.”

“Nonsense, I think it’s you who wants to get handsy with me,” Nangong Yan said coldly.

“Then you are really overthinking it. I wouldn’t lay a finger on you.”

Nangong Yan looked at Ye Chen. After sharing a room with him on the carefree vessel for so many days without him making a move, she trusted his restraint and asked, “Monkey, if it weren’t for the previous events, would you consider me?”

Ye Chen sneered and said, “Definitely not. You’re so stupid; why would I consider you?”

“You’re the stupid one,” Nangong Yan retorted. “Can’t you just lie to me, make me happy for a moment?”

After hearing that, Ye Chen laughed and said, “I’m just afraid that if I lie to you, you’ll take it seriously, and then I won’t know what to do.”

“Don’t be so full of yourself.”

“Ah, enough talk, let’s hurry down the mountain. The battle is about to begin.” Ye Chen was certain that Pan Jianglong and his men would undoubtedly seek trouble. If they wouldn’t do it now, with reinforcements arriving, they wouldn’t wait either.

As expected, Pan Jianglong’s men began a fierce offensive, but they were prepared and had set up their defenses, waiting for them to come and employed the tactic of attrition for two days, fighting off Pan Jianglong’s attempts to scatter them.

Having suffered so many losses, Pan Jianglong used the same tactics over and over, and they had already figured them out. Tricks like luring monsters over – Shao Hengjiang and Nangong Yao’s men could do that too, and they weren’t any worse than Pan Jianglong at it.

Moreover, Shao Hengjiang and Nangong Yao both knew that it wasn’t time for a decisive battle with Pan Jianglong. What they wanted was to whittle him down, waiting for more reinforcements.

Instead, it was Pan Jianglong who became anxious, knowing that the longer the wait, the more disadvantageous it was for them, especially once their reinforcements arrived. The pressure would become greater and greater.

Their anxiety paradoxically made Shao Hengjiang’s men even more composed. They were hoping for Pan Jianglong and his men to become impatient.

Silver Fox fought for another day and still failed to achieve his goal, becoming very frustrated.

Pan Jianglong had no choice but to call together several leaders.

Silver Fox said, “Boss, they seem convinced they can beat us by dragging this out. The tactics we’ve used are not working anymore, we’ve got to think of something else.”

“Do you think I don’t want that!” said Pan Jianglong, somewhat disheartened.

Yin Qi said, “They’re probably waiting for reinforcements, waiting for their main forces to arrive.”

“Right now, we can barely take them down,” Silver Fox said. “If their people arrive, we’ll be even more passive, and it will become increasingly unfavorable for us.”

“We should change our strategy,” said Yin Qi.

Silver Fox seemed pessimistic and said, “Number Three, if you have an idea, just speak up. Don’t beat around the bush.”

Silver Fox went on, “Based on the current situation, they are delaying, using delay tactics, waiting for rescue. They know how many we are. Taking advantage of the terrain they’re already familiar with to defend, they can barely hold us off. It’s not going to be easy to annihilate them, especially since we’re becoming desperate.

We need to shift from trying to eliminate them to capturing that girl.”

Silver Fox looked over and said, “You mean, the Key Box might be in her hands.”

“Very likely,” Yin Qi said. “We should take a gamble and try to capture that girl.”
