Chapter 681 - 681 667 Bait

Chapter 681: Chapter 667: Bait Chapter 681: Chapter 667: Bait It was then that Xuan Si understood the reason.

“There are only seventy or eighty people, not many in number, which should not make them too difficult to deal with,” Xuan Hong said.

“Do you really think so?” Xuan Si asked back.

“Why not? There are only seventy or eighty people. No matter how capable Dragon Soul is, they are short-handed.”

“Maybe it’s just a trap.”

“No way, why would you suspect it’s a trap?”

“Dragon Soul is so smart, he wouldn’t act so arbitrarily.”

“Perhaps he thinks that the more people he brings, the more insecure it will be. They plan to break our Lost Soul formation with just a few dozen people. We have also checked that there is no one tailing them,” Xuan Hong replied.

“So do you think it’s possible for him to crack the Lost Soul system?”

“I don’t think it’s possible.”

Xuan Si shared the same thought and said, “It’s hard to tell, he might have studied this.”

“Even if he has studied it, it’s impossible for him to break our Lost Soul system in such a short time,” Xuan Hong confidently stated. He understood just how complex the system was. Even if asked to memorize it, he might not be able to do it in a day.

While eating, Xuan Si asked, “So do you think we should take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the group that entered first?”

“Don’t you think so? Dragon Soul is among them. He’s the leader of the Dragon Slaying Clan. If we could really kill this person, the Dragon Slaying Clan would be leaderless. Wouldn’t it be much easier to deal with in the future?” Xuan Hong said.

Xuan Si gave a slight nod after hearing this, thinking that it made sense.

“We just need to select some people. With our familiarity with the Lost Soul system and its help, it’s very likely that we will succeed. They only brought seventy or eighty people. What harm could possibly come from them?”

Xuan Si remained silent.

Xuan Hong continued, “Mitra Monk and his crew are outside right now. They can’t help those inside. But we have a thorough understanding of the ins and outs and can easily go in and out.”

Xuan Si kept eating.

“Do you think our father is being overly cautious?”

Xuan Si tapped Xuan Hong’s head and said, “You’re the overly cautious one.”

Xuan Hong rubbed his head and said, “Really, he might be scared by Dragon Soul. In fact, Dragon Soul is not that powerful. He’s just an eighteen-year-old kid.”

Xuan Si scoffed, “Are you any better than him? He’s the Island Master of Dragon Slayer and the leader of Dragon Slaying Clan. And you? You’re nothing but a follower.”

“I admit I am incapable, but Dragon Soul is not all that impressive either. He became the leader of the Dragon Slaying Clan only because his father is Mutant Winged Dragon,” Xuan Hong replied. He had heard a few things about Dragon Soul and he didn’t believe most of it.

“Oh, he’s accomplished quite a lot.”

“I’m saying perhaps it wasn’t him, but the people under him who helped him.”

Xuan Si pondered, it seemed like it was a great opportunity. Why not take advantage of such an opportunity to compete with Dragon Soul’s people? They only had eighty people, and them not making a move was surprising.

Relying on the Lost Soul System to trap them inside might be difficult.

“Although the Lost Soul System is good, it’s mainly used to block and entrap people. It won’t be easy to kill them.”

“Do you want to take action as well?”

“Of course, we may be in the Xuan Clan and don’t care about the affairs of the Demon Valley, but we’ve learned martial arts for so many years. We say it’s for the protection of the valley, but who doesn’t want to show off their skills and perform well? This is clearly a rare opportunity. If we miss it, who knows when the next one will come. If we could really use this system to kill Dragon Soul, we will have accomplished what others in the Demon Valley could not. Wouldn’t that be a great honor?”

Upon hearing this, Xuan Si gave a light smile.

“Do you think I’m joking, and only concerned about making achievements?”

“Isn’t that so?”

“Well, of course. Who doesn’t want to perform well after learning martial arts for so many years?”

Xuan Si thought that the reason Xuan Wu, their uncle, was angry must be because of this.

“Let people in the Demon Valley know that we have accomplished what they could not,” said Xuan Hong.

“Why do you like to show off so much?”

“It’s not about showing off. It’s about seizing an opportunity. With only eighty of them entering the Lost Soul System, we can easily select two hundred people to try. If we don’t succeed, we can still retreat easily. Why not do it? Letting them break our system inside. What if they succeed in cracking it!”

“Hurry up and finish your meal. You talk too much. Do you want me to let you take command?”

Xuan Hong smiled and said, “I’m not that capable.”

“I think you’re too capable, you can even judge whether my father is right or wrong.”

“That’s not true, I was just blabbering.”

Xuan Si took a look around the square before returning to the courtyard.

She had also left this place before and had a look outside.

Dragon Soul had led eighty people deep into the Lost Soul System. With the help of Iron Bull, they bypassed the trap area, carved out a path, and encountered monsters. They fought for a day, but this was all within Dragon Soul’s expectations.

Dragon Soul glanced around—night was slowly falling.

Shi Xueqin asked, “Why did you only bring eighty people with you? Why didn’t you bring more?”

“Do you want to know the real reason?”

“Of course, I do.”

“Because most of the people who come in here will die. Why would I bring so many people in here for that?” Longhun said quietly.

Shi Xueqin looked at him puzzled, sighing, “Most of them will die.”

“Yes, they’re the bait. It’s a necessary sacrifice.”

Shi Xueqin murmured, “You knew that most of them would die, but you still followed them in.”

Longhun replied, “I don’t care about them. If it gets too dangerous, I’ll be the first to run. If I hadn’t come in here, how would I have lured the fish out?”

Shi Xueqin half-pouted, finding it hard to believe.

“I’m telling the truth. Only a fool like you would charge in thinking about sacrifice.”

“Aren’t you here to break the Lost Soul System? It sounds like you’re fishing.”

“Of course. If I have the chance, I definitely want to break it. My goal is to lure the fish out, to lead me to its nest.”

“You’re using yourself as bait, aren’t you afraid the bait will get eaten?”

“That’s why I’d run at any moment.”

“When the time comes, you wouldn’t just abandon me, would you?” Shi Xueqin asked.

“Possibly, very likely. So, you have to stick close to me.”

“What’s your plan really?” Shi Xueqin still could not believe it.

“I’ve already told you the plan. I’m to act like the bait.” Longhun flicked her forehead.

Shi Xueqin yelped in pain.

“You can’t honestly think I want to play the hero, do you? If Mitra Monk led the team in, him acting as bait might not lure the fish out. But I, acting as bait, am confident I could lure it out.”

“You’re likely to get eaten being the bait first.”

“Of course, it’s possible. If you’re not up to the task, you could be in danger. So make sure to stick close to me. I won’t stick around for you. Buckle up, we may have to run away at any time.” Longhun was eating roast chicken and staring at the bright moon above.

Shi Xueqin was suspicious.

“As I said, you’re just stupid. I had no other choice. You had a choice, yet didn’t know the danger. Sacrificing yourself for the Dragon Slayer Clan, isn’t that stupid enough?”

“You didn’t tell me at the time, so how would I know that’s what you were planning? I wanted to help you.”

“And how could you help me? By blocking arrows? Monster attacks? One bite could swallow you whole.”

“Now you say it, I guess I am a bit stupid.” Shi Xueqin murmured.

“Now you realize how stupid you’ve been!” Longhun continued, “The reason I didn’t bring more people is that fewer people makes it easier to lure out the Xuan Clan. And with me being here, they’ll be even more tempted. Who wouldn’t want to kill me? That would be a great achievement, getting rid of a threat for the people!”

“You really don’t know danger.”

“Hey, just eat and think about how to save your own skin. But you shouldn’t be worried. If we are really cornered, just surrender. If you get caught, tell them Longhun captured you, forced you to be his bride. I don’t think the Xuan Clan will harm you.”

Shi Xueqin pursed her lips.

Longhun continued, “Remember, don’t try to be brave when the time comes. And don’t brag about sacrificing yourself for the Dragon Slayer Clan. Your life is your own. Who would willingly throw it away? Look at me, I might be the leader of the Dragon Slayer Clan, but if I were asked to sacrifice myself for them, I would need to think about it. Only a fool would easily consider sacrificing themselves — it’s madness!”

“Why do I feel like you’re becoming more and more wicked?”

“Really? I’ve always been this wicked. I’m ruthless and incredibly cruel.”

“I heard from sister Shura that you killed your most beloved one. Is that true?”

“My most beloved one? Who’s that?”

“Don’t pretend, I might not know, but sister Shura has been with you the longest, she knows the most about you.” Shi Xueqin ate her roast chicken, then said, “I just want to know if it’s true.”

“You’re afraid I’d kill you too, aren’t you?”

“Could you?”

“Are you scared?”

Shi Xueqin curiously asked, “Why did you kill her? You surely wouldn’t do it without reason, right?”

“You’re quite curious about my past.” Longhun had barely spoken about his past since he arrived at Dragon Slayer Island, as if he had severed all ties with it.

“Yes, who wouldn’t be?”

“Don’t be too curious about me. It’s dangerous.”

“But I know you, Brother Longhun, wouldn’t just kill someone casually.”

“That’s not necessarily true. All it takes is the mood.”
