Chapter 453 A Trap

Less than an hour after entering the 199th floor, Han Fei got 12 Sea Swallowing Seashells.

The people from those big sects were really rich. Since the 197th floor, among the Sea Swallowing Seashells that Han Fei had obtained, even the worst in quality would be enough for two sacrifices on the 199th floor.

Han Fei found 3 Soul Crystals among the 12 Sea Swallowing Shells that he had just acquired.

Han Fei immediately absorbed them, and after ten minutes or so, all three Soul Crystals disappeared.

When Han Fei opened his eyes, his eyes were very strange. He had remembered the eighth, ninth, and tenth fragments of the God Scaring Painting

However, this time, Han Fei found that his perception range had not increased at all.

Suddenly, Han Fei felt he had discovered a big secret. He felt that unlike others who could improve their perception range with Soul Crystals, he could do that with the God Scaring Painting

Unfortunately, Han Fei had no Soul Crystals in his hands, and could not confirm his conjecture, so he could only continue to plunder.

After half an hour, Han Fei found another fighting spot. This time, it was not people fighting with people, but people fighting with the summoned marine creatures.

After the robbery, no Soul Crystals were found, and Han Fei continued to rush to the next fighting spot.

After robbing five or six people in a row, Han Fei didn’t meet Xia Xiaochan or Tang Ge. However, he grabbed another Soul Crystal. This time, Han Fei sat on the ground and immediately absorbed the Soul Crystal. However, this time the problem had not become simple.

In his mind, the God Scaring Painting was still complicated, full of lines, glamorous and magnificent.

However, when Han Fei tried to memorize the 11th fragment, it appeared clearly in his mind only for a while. After the Soul Crystal was consumed, he had no impression of the 11th fragment at all.

“Huh? I didn’t remember the picture, nor was my range of perception increased at all!”

Han Fei frowned. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be like this! Just like what Cao Qiu said, after 500 meters, 10 times the number of Soul Crystals was needed to extend the perception range by 50 meters. If this was true, after he used a Soul Crystal, his perception range should extend by 5 meters, right? But no, not the slightest change occurred.

Instead, Han Fei seemed to have hit a bottleneck-like obstacle.

“Huh… Is it possible that soul power also has different realms?”

Without the Soul Crystal, Han Fei couldn’t speculate.

He was about to continue robbing, only to see Xia Xiaochan swimming over carrying Cao Qiu.

“Han Fei!”

Han Fei looked at Cao Qiu in surprise, asking, “Well… What happened to him?”

Xia Xiaochan grunted angrily. “Humph! This guy is simply useless. I can’t fight so many people alone, so I ran away with him!” Han Fei couldn’t help laughing. “Even you can’t beat them? How many people were there?”

Xia Xiaochan nodded. “Twelve, suddenly there are a lot of people on this floor. Those 12 people seem to have come from one place. I can’t beat them by myself and this guy was just hiding like a turtle retracting its head into its shell.”

Cao Qiuqiu said weakly, “I couldn’t beat them either! I told you to run away.”

Xia Xiaochan glared at Cao Qiu angrily. “Run, run, all you know is to run away! Since I first met you, all you do in combat is run away!”

Cao Qiu stretched his neck and refuted, “I couldn’t beat them, and they couldn’t break my defense! My killer blow is reserved for the 200th floor. If I use it now, what will I use then?”

Han Fei chuckled. “A killer blow?”

“Yes! Although I am a little weaker than you in combat, I can win by strategy!”

Han Fei sighed. “Don’t tell me… You want to blow up the 200th floor!”

Cao Qiu rolled his eyes. “How is that possible? Could I do that kind of uncreative thing? Even if I wanted to blow it up, I can’t.”

Han Fei’s face turned black. “Fine, I don’t care what ‘strategy’ you have, but…12 people… It seems that I still have to use the Majestic Mystic Spell!”

Han Fei thought he’d better reserve his energy. On the bottom of the sea, he wouldn’t have so many chances to cook.

Han Fei looked at Xia Xiaochan. “Do you want a spiritual fruit?”

Xia Xiaochan shook her head. “No, I still have enough.”

Cao Qiu asked excitedly, “Are we going to kick those people’s asses now?” Han Fei glanced at Cao Qiu with contempt. “Shut up! There are 12 people and each of them is stronger than an ordinary peak-level Dangling Fisher! Do you want us to die?”

Cao Qiu blurted out, “That’ll be no problem for you! You can even draw a tie with Tang Ge. The 12 people will be a piece of cake for you, won’t they? Tang Ge is at the same level as my brother who is able to beat a hundred men alone.”

“Wait…”

Han Fei swallowed. “What did you say?” Xia Xiaochan also didn’t believe him. “How can it be possible to beat a hundred men alone? A hundred men of the same level?”

Cao Qiu raised his head high. “Not of the same level but of higher levels than him.”

“Impossible.”

Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan were dumbfounded. Beat a hundred men of higher levels than him? Seriously?

Cao Qiu put his hands behind his back. “Why is it impossible? They threw people like my brother into a secret realm with a radius of at most a thousand kilometers and had a hundred people hunt him. In a hundred years, 101 people have passed this test. The 100th was my brother, and the 101st was Tang Ge. What do you think?”

Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Xia Xiaochan rolled her eyes. “Can’t you speak more clearly? I thought he fought a hundred men face to face all at once!”

Han Fei shook his head slightly. “It’s not that simple. Don’t forget, this is a hundred people hunting one person. Perhaps, the hunting people will be separated, but they would definitely be in groups of three to five, or even more.”

Cao Qiu nodded. “Yes, yes, so I think you can beat the 12 people because you have two of

you.”

Han Fei: “…”

Xia Xiaochan: “…”

Xia Xiaochan couldn’t help showing a trace of expectation as she looked at Han Fei. “Or, we can have a try?” Han Fei rolled his eyes. “No way! Let me tell you the truth today. If you can fight one on one, you’d better not fight many people alone. If you can fight a person with others, don’t fight him alone…”

Xia Xiaochan groaned. “But Tang Ge and the others can fight many people alone.”

Han Fei sighed. “Just because they can do it doesn’t mean they have to do it. They did it because they had to pass the test, but we are not in a test now. If we are beaten to death, Old Bai won’t come save us.”

Han Fei kicked Cao Qiu’s ass. “Go, act as the bait, and lure a few people over.”

“Huh?”

Han Fei smiled. “Take it easy. I won’t trick you.”

After Han Fei explained his plan to Cao Qiu, Cao Qiu understood. However, he was still a little scared, only to be kicked away by Han Fei in the end.

In fact, there was no need for Cao Qiu to be bait. If Xia Xiaochan and he hadn’t run fast enough, they would have been caught by those people. Therefore, when Cao Qiu showed up, those people rushed over yelling and cursing.

Seeing this, Cao Qiu hurriedly ran away, transmitting his voice to those people as he ran, Hey, it’s me! Cao Qiu! What are you chasing me for? “You’re the one we’re after,” someone yelled back.

Cao Qiu ran as fast as he could while yelling, “I didn’t offend you. Why are you chasing me?”

Someone yelled, “You are an accomplice. Just now, that girl robbed our two teams. Cao Qiu, you’ve gotta give us a reasonable explanation!”

Cao Qiu shouted, “This is just a trial. You were robbed because you were not strong enough. What does it matter to me?”

“Humph, so we are going to rob you! That’s because you hang out with freaks every day!” Cao Qiu ran and suddenly saw Xia Xiaochan sitting on the ground cross-legged, so he shouted at her, “Xie Xiaoan, help!”

Xia Xiaochan opened her eyes, pretended to panic, and immediately ran hundreds of meters away. However, then she turned around and rushed towards Cao Qiu.

Behind, those people who were chasing Cao Qiu were overjoyed and some people exclaimed, “I didn’t expect that woman would be so loyal to her friend. OK, I’ll spare her life later.”

At this moment, in the distant sea, a vague figure seemed to be swimming over. However, seeing so many people here, he suddenly stopped.

Of course, these 12 people didn’t panic at all. No matter whether that person was a passer-by or not, even if they added up, there were only three of them. As for combat power, there were only two of them. Cao Qiu was simply useless. Xia Xiaochan picked up Cao Qiu and ran. When these 12 people chased to the place where Xia Xiaochan was just now, six beams of light suddenly rose from the ground.

These people’s reactions were quick. Someone accelerated in an instant and some left the team, so the six-gate formation trapped only five people.

“Damn it, it’s a trap!”

At the moment they were trapped, Xia Xiaochan threw Cao Qiu towards the six-gate formation like throwing a ball. Cao Qiu had the Cloud Dolphin attached to him and had the Poisonous Bubble Fish spit bubbles and then threw a Spirit Forbidden Net into the six-gate formation.

On the other side, at the moment when the six-gate formation rose, Han Fei had already sped up and hurried over.

Xia Xiaochan smiled slyly. “Huh, a bunch of fools, take this…”
