Chapter 93: Snatching Food from the Tiger's Mouth! Seeking Life in Death!

Wan Tianjue's face, filled with a ferocious grin, like a summoning notice from the King of Hell, suddenly appeared before Wang Shan and the others.

"Hahaha! Really, after searching high and low, it comes without effort!" Wan Tianjue laughed wildly, his eyes locking onto the rosy-glowing Transformation Fruit like a starving wolf, then coldly sweeping over Wang Shan's group: "You little bugs, your lives are tough! You even got teleported here—perfect, saves me hunting you one by one! Today, none of you will live!"

His clothes were torn, his breath somewhat unstable, obviously having suffered greatly in the previous spatial transfer, but the pressure of that Foundation Establishment cultivator still weighed on everyone's hearts like a mountain.

Wang Fang shrank back in fright, her voice trembling: "Clan Leader..."

Wang Shan's heart turned ice-cold. Fight head-on? With what? Use these ten remaining lives to fill the gap?

Damn it, just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth—and it's a starving tiger!

Wan Tianjue took a step, the ground trembled slightly, a fishy wind accompanied him as he prepared to strike.

"Old thing, want the Transformation Fruit?" Wang Shan suddenly spoke, his voice low, yet it made Wan Tianjue's motion pause slightly.

"Hmph, a dying person dares to negotiate with me?" Wan Tianjue's eyes showed contempt, but his greed for the Transformation Fruit kept him from striking immediately: "You want to beg for mercy? Too late!"

Wang Shan's thoughts raced; his only hope now was that damned system!

"System! Did discovering the Transformation Fruit earn any rewards?!" He almost roared in his mind.

"Beep—Detected host discovering third-tier heaven-earth spirit object 【Transformation Fruit】; this spirit object holds great value for host and system. Reward: 300 Spirit Plant Points."

300 points! Wang Shan almost cursed, what can this do? But right now, even a mosquito leg is meat!

"All Spirit Plant Points! Exchange for a One-time Short-range Teleportation Talisman! Also, is there a third-tier Explosive Talisman with the greatest power?"

"Beep—Exchanging 【One-time Short-range Random Teleportation Talisman (100-meter range)】, costing 150 Spirit Plant Points. Exchanging one Third-tier Gengjin Piercing Talisman, costing 150 Spirit Plant Points. Host's current Spirit Plant Points remaining: zero."

Damn, it really is "Explosive"—the Gengjin Piercing Talisman sounds powerful just from the name! A 100-meter teleport is better than nothing!

All this happened in the flash of lightning and flint.

Seeing Wang Shan silent, Wan Tianjue assumed he was scared stupid and sneered: "Since you have nothing to say, then go die!"

He waved his hand, a massive claw condensed from tremendous Spiritual Power, whistling with a piercing sound, grabbed down toward Wang Shan's head!

"Old dog, you don't deserve the Transformation Fruit!" Wang Shan roared, advancing instead of retreating, he flung his arm and a brilliant golden talisman shot out—not at Wan Tianjue, but at the tender, dripping Transformation Fruit tree behind him!

"How dare you, brat!" Wan Tianjue's pupils shrank; he never expected Wang Shan to dare such a risky move—was this kid crazy? Destroying the Transformation Fruit, what good would it do him?

In the roar, Wan Tianjue's Spiritual Power claw aimed at Wang Shan had to abruptly change direction, turning into a palm, and in haste slapped toward the golden talisman flying at the Transformation Fruit.

Boom!

The Third-tier Gengjin Piercing Talisman exploded with a bang, blinding golden light mixed with countless fine Gengjin energies scattering out; although most was blocked by Wan Tianjue's palm, a few sharp gusts grazed the edge of the Transformation Fruit, shredding several green leaves. The small tree shook, the fruit on it trembling a few times, the rosy light dimming for an instant.

"You little beast! I will tear you to pieces!" Wan Tianjue winced in anguish—this was the Transformation Fruit, almost destroyed by this bastard!

His attack stalled—now!

"Zhize, Zhitao, follow me!" Wang Shan growled low, crushing another talisman with his left hand.

Hum—

A soft white light instantly enveloped Wang Shan, as well as the nearest Wang Zhize and Wang Zhitao.

"A teleport talisman?!" Wan Tianjue's eyes turned red—how many tricks does this kid have!

"Wang Yong! Wang Fang! Take people, scatter and run! Fast!" Wang Shan's voice rang out urgently as the white light flared.

Wang Yong and Wang Fang were also quick to react; seeing the Clan Leader and two brothers shrouded in white light, with Wan Tianjue held back by the Transformation Fruit, they had no hesitation.

"Go!" Wang Yong bellowed, grabbed his weapon, shielded the nearby clansmen, and fled desperately into the deep forest opposite the direction where Wang Shan and the others vanished.

Wang Fang followed closely, glancing back as she ran; on the clearing, Wan Tianjue was frantically steadying the wobbling Transformation Fruit tree.

The white light flashed and faded—Wang Shan and his two companions had already vanished from the spot.

"Aaaah—Wang Shan! I will surely kill you!" Wan Tianjue jumped with rage, screaming. He carefully lifted the Transformation Fruit, checked it, and found only the outer protective Spiritual Light had been scattered a bit; the fruit itself was unharmed, so he slightly relaxed.

But Wang Shan had fled—now that's a serious threat! That kid definitely holds the Beast Taming Sect's secret!

Should I chase Wang Shan, or those scattered ants?

Wan Tianjue hesitated only a moment, then decided. Those little fish and shrimp will be dealt with eventually; Wang Shan is the main target! He might possess the complete Ten Thousand Beast Method, plus a countermeasure, and even the clue to that damned stele!

He carefully placed the Transformation Fruit into a Jade Box, stored it in his spatial bag, sensed the residual spatial fluctuation from Wang Shan's disappearance, flickered into a shadow, and pursued along that faint trace. His speed was even greater than before, clearly fueled by true fury.

Meanwhile, Wang Shan felt the world spin, as if his five viscera and six bowels were displaced, then his footing gave way and he crashed heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough..." He choked a few times, barely propping himself up.

"Clan Leader!" Wang Zhize and Wang Zhitao also fell beside him, equally disheveled.

"All right?" Wang Shan shook his still-dizzy head.

"Still... okay." Wang Zhize leaned against the stone wall, his face pale: "Where... is this?"

The three looked around and discovered they had been teleported to the mouth of a mountain cave. The entrance was fairly concealed, hidden by vines and scattered rocks. Inside the cave it was pitch black; a damp earthy odor mixed with some beast's foul stench assailed their nostrils, making them frown.

"Random teleport—landing somewhere sheltered is already not bad." Wang Shan caught his breath: "Let's go inside and hide."

This creepy place is far more dangerous than Hundred Beast Valley; that old dog Wan Tianjue has a keen nose.

Wang Zhitao led the way, carefully parting the vines, peeking inside: "Clan Leader, it seems quite deep in there; I haven't seen any living things yet."

"Go in!"

The three filed in, having gone just over ten meters into the cave, a faint roar of Wan Tianjue's furious anger drifted from outside several hundred meters behind:

"Wang Shan, you brat! Get out here, old man! I know you're nearby! You may hide for a moment, but not forever!"

The sound drew nearer—obviously that old coot had caught up!

Wang Shan's heart sank. The teleport talisman's range is still too short!

"Damn it, this lingering spirit won't quit!" Wang Shan muttered low.

Wang Zhize and Wang Zhitao also wore solemn faces.

"Clan Leader, what now?" Wang Zhize asked in a low voice.

Wang Shan didn't answer right away; he listened intently to the sounds outside, his anxiety burning hotter. Wang Yong and the others... he didn't know how they were, whether they could escape.

This damned Wan Tianjue!

For now, they've merely avoided the immediate danger; a new threat looms. Will this cave be their refuge, or another trap?
