Chapter 720: Chapter 720 Quicksand
"Young Master, we’ve found Yang Yu’s whereabouts," reported the scout on the phone ahead. "But it’s so strange, he’s all by himself, and just sitting there amidst those nine man-eating pyramids, looking eerie."
Upon receiving the message from his subordinate, Jabem said expressionlessly, "As long as he doesn’t run, it doesn’t matter where he’s sitting. He’s our target, whether others are present or not, it doesn’t matter."
After hanging up on his subordinate, Jabem continued to move forward.
He was not without suspicion that Yang Yu was up to something, but he felt that in the face of absolute power, any cunning schemes, mechanisms, or traps were all just for show.
Besides, Yang Yu was alone.
If he, Jabem, were to be scared off by Yang Yu alone, the Jiaxi Family would become the laughingstock of the whole world!
An hour later, Jabem’s main force finally arrived.
The scouts immediately came up to meet him and reported to Jabem, "Young Master, Yang Yu hasn’t moved at all..."
Bang bang bang bang...
Jabem acted extremely quickly. Before anyone could react, he shot these few subordinates, headshotting them with each shot!
"What’s gotten into the Young Master?" His subordinates were shocked and panicked until they saw their comrades’ hands resting on the grenades. They came to a realization, "They wanted to blow us up! What on earth is going on?"
"According to the information, Yang Yu is proficient in Xia Country’s ancient Daoist Skills, and controlling others’ minds is all too easy for him," Jabem explained. "Had I not done my research and been on my guard, this guy’s sneak attack would have succeeded!"
His subordinates finally understood and let out a long sigh of relief.
If these manipulated comrades had thrown grenades at them, those in the rear might have survived, but those beside Jabem would have been blown into unrecognizable pieces.
That was too close, way too close!
"Everyone off the vehicles!" At Jabem’s command, the three thousand elite soldiers got off the vehicles and neatly followed Jabem as he advanced.
One hundred meters away from Yang Yu, Jabem gestured with his hand, and the main force halted.
Yang Yu was still sitting cross-legged, as if unaware of the formidable enemy’s approach.
"Yang Yu," Jabem spoke in fluent English, showing his frequent interactions with foreigners, "I really didn’t expect you to stay behind all by yourself. Now, use whatever tricks you have, or else you won’t have another chance in a little while."
Yang Yu remained silent, much to the chagrin of several subordinates beside Jabem, "So arrogant even when death is imminent, seeking your own doom!"
Those subordinates immediately drew their machine guns and unleashed a fierce barrage at Yang Yu.
Ratatatata...
The machine guns spat fire, and bullets whistled towards Yang Yu.
The bullets did hit Yang Yu, but they all passed right through him!
"It’s an Illusion Technique!" The crowd instantly understood what was going on, and their expressions turned very ugly.
Glancing at the scorching sun directly overhead, Jabem’s expression grew grave, "The illusions of the desert, a mirage. What we are seeing now is most likely an illusion created by Yang Yu. This place is not the Pyramid, and we haven’t even reached our destination yet."
Jabem took a rocket launcher from his subordinate and fired it at one of the pyramids.
Boom!
The artillery shell landed inside what seemed like the interior of the "Pyramid," causing an explosion, but the "Pyramid" remained completely unscathed!
"It really is an illusion!" The people’s expressions became serious, devoid of their prior arrogance.
In their eyes, Yang Yu, staying behind alone, was simply courting death.
But after the two encounters just now, they finally realized that the Xia Country man who had dared to stay behind alone wasn’t seeking death but had the potential to create a lot of trouble for them!
Under Jabem’s lead, the group continued to travel by vehicle.
However, when the vehicles reached the edge of the Pyramid area, they were shocked to discover that all the vehicles had inexplicably broken down!
"Damn it, what’s going on?"
"Everyone get out of the car, I’ll go fix it."
The drivers immediately inspected the vehicles and found nothing wrong with them, but the engines just wouldn’t start.
It wasn’t just one vehicle that was like this—all of them were!
"Could it be that guy’s doing?" Someone offhandedly suggested, but was immediately countered, "How could that be possible? He didn’t even touch our vehicles. How could he have had the chance to sabotage them?"
Jabem asked the drivers, "How long will it take to fix the vehicles?"
"This..." The drivers hesitated for a moment, "Young Master, we truly don’t know."
"Then you stay here and repair the vehicles. The rest of us will continue on foot. Catch up when you’ve fixed them," Jabem waved his hand, "Let’s go!"
The group entered the area of nine Pyramids, and when they reached "Yang Yu," they even stretched out their hands towards "Yang Yu."
As expected, their hands easily passed through "Yang Yu."
"It really is a hologram!" those mercenaries marveled, and then hurried on their way.
After walking for quite some time, they saw the same scene again.
No, to be precise, there was a slight difference.
The original Yang Yu was sitting cross-legged on the ground, while this Yang Yu was smiling at them.
Moreover, Yang Yu spoke, "Welcome everyone to the Mirage I’ve specially prepared for you all. You must be careful. If you’re not, you could die here, the kind of death where not even your bodies can be found."
"Of course, you could stand still and wait for the sunset when my Mirage will naturally dissolve. But by the time the sun sets, if you wish to catch up with our people, the possibility is almost zero."
"So, whether to continue moving forward and risk your lives to kill our people, or to stay put in order to save your lives, is your choice."
"I won’t choose any option you provide," Jabem stated coldly, "I choose my own path, to break through this illusion and eliminate your people completely. I don’t believe that you alone can stop my three thousand elite soldiers!"
Having said that, Jabem fired another shot towards Yang Yu.
Boom!
The shell hit "Yang Yu" dead-on, and Yang Yu’s figure disappeared!
"Hmm, this person is different from the one before. This one disappears!" someone pointed out the difference, growing more curious.
This was their first time encountering such a bizarre situation, but they paid no heed to Yang Yu’s warning.
They thought the same as Jabem—how could Yang Yu alone possibly stop them?
The group once again entered the area of nine Pyramids, when suddenly many felt the ground beneath their feet sinking, and they screamed in terror, "Quicksand! We’ve hit quicksand!"
In an instant, everyone panicked.
The more they struggled to climb up, the faster they sank!
