Chapter 1198: Under His Nose
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
“When the others looked over here, the first thought in their mind was that nothing could go wrong because they got a man standing here…” Wenren Chuchu kept speaking in a low voice, “Rather than playing hide and seek in the fire, we should better just try to fool over one man. As long as we sneak over this guy… we will be safe.”
“It is quite different between dealing with a bunch of people and dealing with one man.”
Bing Xinyue sincerely agreed with it.
“Activated a power shield to stay from getting burned, and then move a burning tree around us. We keep ourselves undercover by that firing wood until we reach the place we are heading to. We throw the tree when we are within thirty meters from that guy. It would be only a falling tree. Nobody would pay extra attention to that.”
Wenren Chuchu looked calm. Her plan sounded reasonable and practical.
‘Well…” Bing Xinyue didn’t understand. “That burning tree is flickering… Wouldn’t it expose us? How do we use it as a cover?”
“The entire area will be in the fire. It is difficult for them to see things clearly. Because of the fire, the air around the tree will be twisted. Even if they look over to us, they may not be able to actually see us.” Wenren Chuchu answered, “It seems risky, but it is the best solution and the most practical one.”
Bing Xinyue always believed in her disciple’s wisdom. However, this time it sounded too risky, yet Wenren Chuchu was quite confident. Bing Xinyue couldn’t make up her mind. Suddenly, she noticed the enemies were getting closer to them. She had lost choices. The next moment, she held a burning tree with both hands and slowly moved.
The guy near them turned around and looked over.
His eyes were like lightning.
At that moment, the two ladies were breathless.
As expected, the tree didn’t fully cover their bodies. However, just like Wenren Chuchu said because the tree was burning, that man didn’t actually see them.
He just looked over and then casually looked aside.
[It worked!]
Bing Xinyue took a long breath of relief. She had shed lots of sweat within a few seconds. What happened only happened in a short time, but it was the most unforgettable moment in her life. Luckily they were safe in the end!
After moving a few feet, Bing Xinyue let go of the tree, and the tree fell down to the floor with fire.
That man was alerted! He was frightened and then looked over. What he saw was a tree that had fallen down on the floor, making burning sounds. He just loudly shouted, “Fxck!”
That tree fell down slowly and nearly hit that man. He kept cursing it because of that. In the end, he jumped up high and started to look around in the air.
“Go under him! Quick!” Wenren Chuchu urged Bing Xinyue.
“Ok.”
Bing Xinyue didn’t hesitate. She operated her best moving skill and moved over thirty meters to the place where that man was standing earlier. She moved just like a ghost, and hid behind that burning tree she put down earlier.
The guy was staying about thirty meters up over the two ladies’ heads. He was looking in the distance.
He actually had no idea the people he was looking for were so close right under his feet.
Wenren Chuchu had great savoir-faire. She didn’t know that the guy would jump up to the sky in the beginning, but when he did, she immediately changed plan. If not for her quick reaction, they might both get caught!
The fire was rolling up. Even though Bing Xinyue was a level six Dao Origin Stage cultivator, she started to feel uncomfortable because of the heat.
Wenren Chuchu was doing worse. She already had been severely injured, and she was weaker in cultivation. Her lips were dry, and she started to feel dizzy. Luckily Bing Xinyue kept pouring spiritual qi into her. With the energy and her own Ling Xiao Ice Art, she was still able to deal with the burning heat!
“We should be safe now…” Wenren Chuchu spoke in a low voice, “Focus. We should go under that tree later… The man suddenly jumped up to the sky because the fire is going off in this place. Where we are staying should be the blind spot in his sight…
“I changed the plan. This is even better than the place I chose in the beginning. Now, as long as we can go down under the ground about ten meters, we will be safe.”
She sounded pleased, “They may scan every inch of this area, but they will never check the space under the ground in this spot…”
Bing Xinyue nodded.
Standing on the ground and slowly moving down under the hard floor might be too much a challenge for Wenren Chuchu, but it was a piece of cake for Bing Xinyue since she already had reached level six of Dao Origin Stage.
“The fire might influence the space under the ground… but if we go ten meters down under the floor, it won’t be unacceptably hot. There are lots of plants in this area… I guess the soil must be quite wet. There may be groundwater down there…”
As Wenren Chuchu spoke ‘groundwater’, she and Bing Xinyue both licked their own lips.
The place was burned into ravages.
The mountain was trapped by the dense smoke.
People shouted from different directions.
“Holy shxt… Is this trying to burn the women out or to burn ourselves to death… Before we force them out, we may get ourselves grilled first…”
“That’s true… Misty Cloud Palace has the best moving skill in the world. Maybe they have already fled away by burning their life energy… Besides, their Ling Xiao Ice Art is attributed with Yin. Maybe they just can’t get burned…”
“I am wordless now. This fire attack is simply a doltish plan…”
The two ladies looked at each other and cracked a smile.
After that, Bing Xinyue began to move into the ground slowly, starting from the feet.
