1188 Strange! (1) Wendell was dumbfounded when he saw Wang Teng. He came directly after receiving the mission, wanting to complete it before Wang Teng. He wanted to show General Cameron that he was the more outstanding person. His team entered the forest and met Devil Vines halfway through. They got here after many hardships. Yet, Wang Teng and his team were here too, and he looked… relaxed. This wasn’t right! It wasn’t right at all! This area was the Devil Vines’ territory. Normal martial warriors would be tormented terribly if they met them. They might not even be able to leave this place alive. Wang Teng was just a celestial-stage martial warrior. Some of his team members were still injured, so they shouldn’t be the Devil Vines’ match. Wendell didn’t understand. “Hey, isn’t this Raging Wolf? You look a little miserable.” Wang Teng squatted on the tree branch and smiled as he looked down on him. Peggy and the others stared at Wendell and his team with strange gazes. There was no doubt that they met the Devil Vines too. That was why they were so haggard. Peggy and the others felt fortunate. They were lucky that they were on Wang Teng’s team. If not, they might have ended up in the same state as Wendell. “Hmph!” The corners of Wendell’s eyes twitched. He frowned and asked in a cold voice, “Why are y’all here?” “Look at what you’re saying. You’re here too. Why can’t we be here?” Wang Teng laughed. “You!” Wendell was speechless and furious. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. At this moment, a shrill sonic boom was heard in the distance. Black vines spiraled over from the black mist toward Wang Teng and Wendell. “Leader, it has caught up. Let’s run,” a martial warrior said hurriedly. His expression changed slightly. “Let’s go!” Wendell’s pupils constricted. He gave his order and stopped bickering with Wang Teng. They wanted to run, but the black vines swept toward them from all directions, even their backs. They blocked all routes of escape. “Damn it! That Devil Vine has surrounded us!” Wendell furrowed his brows violently. He glanced around him and tried to look for a way to break the encirclement. The black vines enclosed them inside. There was no way to escape. On the tree, Peggy turned serious. “Major Wang Teng, this Devil Vine isn’t at the devil king level.” “It should be at the low-tier devil emperor level.” Wang Teng nodded, but he wasn’t worried. He maintained his composure. Peggy and the others felt a little less anxious when they saw his lighthearted attitude. They believed Wang Teng. If he didn’t ask them to run, it meant that he had a way to deal with this low-tier devil emperor-level Devil Vine. Boom! The black vines plummeted from the sky. They were like pythons trying to swallow the martial warriors. Everyone launched their attacks to resist the incoming attack. Peggy and the others were no exception. They didn’t dare to let down their guards and increased the Force in their bodies to attack the black vines. But this time, the vines were harder and tougher than before. Their speed and strength were many times greater than the ones they met in the past. The martial warriors were at a disadvantage. “Ah! Help me!” Someone got entangled by the black vines and was dragged into the mist. He let out an agonizing cry. However, this person was from Wendell’s team. Peggy and the others had Wang Teng protecting them. The Golden Crescent Blade swept over like a beam of golden light and destroyed all the black vines that dared to come near. Wendell’s expression turned ugly. His eyebrows kept jumping. The low-tier devil emperor was extremely hard to deal with. He didn’t have the extra effort to take care of his team, so within a few moments, he lost four to five members. Wang Teng’s ability astounded him. He was in disbelief. This bastard was so strong! He was only a celestial-stage martial warrior, but the ability he showcased was that of a cosmos-stage martial warrior. Wendell was flabbergasted. He finally understood why his family suffered at the hands of this young man. This fellow’s ability couldn’t be predicted with common sense. But this wasn’t the time to think about this stuff. “Wang Teng, this Devil Vine is at the low-tier devil emperor level. We need to work together to break through,” Wendell shouted while glancing around. “I’m sorry. We can hardly look after ourselves. We can’t work together with you,” Wang Teng replied calmly. Wendell: … To hell with that! Could you be more relaxed when you say this? Do you look like you’re busy with your own affairs? Wendell wasn’t stupid. He knew that Wang Teng didn’t want to help them. “Follow me!” Wang Teng ignored Wendell and called his teammates. Then, he dashed into the mist. Peggy and the others trusted Wang Teng entirely and followed him inside. The formation of the entire team changed. They shot into the Devil Vines like an arrow with Wang Teng leading the way. Wang Teng was at the front. With a raise of his finger, the Golden Crescent Blade spun out at high speed. The Ultima of Metal was instilled in it. It turned into a beam of golden light and minced up all the black vines around them. The black vines were extremely tough, but the sharp Golden Crescent Blade cut through them as if they were soft strands of noodles. They couldn’t resist the sharpness.
