Chapter 1249: Chapter 1224: Luring the Enemy Into the Trap

The old grandpa finally believed that Ye Chen wasn’t lying earlier and that he could truly rescue him.

"Child, you’re really amazing," the old grandpa praised.

Ye Chen led the old grandpa along the previous route, easily avoiding those traps, and arrived at the place where the Snake Spirit had invited him for a drink.

At this moment, there was not a single person here, and Ye Chen couldn’t help but wonder where the Snake Spirit, Scorpion Spirit, and their subordinates had gone.

In fact, the Snake Spirit and Scorpion Spirit were standing at the cave entrance, watching Big Child and Second Child with a sinister smile.

She thought it was so quick that two more children had come, without waiting for her to bring them in; these Hulus actually voluntarily came to her.

The Snake Spirit mistook Ye Chen for Yellow Child, adding up to three with these two Hulus, leaving four remaining.

The Snake Spirit wanted to catch them all and refine the Elixir of Immortality together.

Perhaps because the Snake Spirit was too happy seeing the two children voluntarily deliver themselves, she didn’t notice the difference between Ye Chen and them.

"You shameless fairy, hand over my grandpa and big brother, and I can spare your life," Big Child angrily pointed at the Snake Spirit and said.

"How dare you speak to the madam like that, believe it or not, I’ll crush you," Scorpion Spirit spoke without waiting for Snake Spirit.

He wouldn’t allow anyone to speak ill of the Snake Spirit, and he was about to use the big hammer in his hand to strike Big Child.

However, this action was stopped by Snake Spirit, who looked at Scorpion Spirit and said, "He’s just a little child; don’t scare him, I’d be heartbroken."

The Snake Spirit’s fake kindness was truly disgusting, and the Hulus would never fall for it.

Afterward, she looked at Big Child and Second Child with a smile and said, "You little children speak too badly. I just invited the old man and that child over for a drink. Why say such things about me? Although I’m a fairy, I’m not like what you imagine."

Upon saying this, she began to cry, covering her face.

"Madam, don’t stoop to the level of these small children," Scorpion Spirit urgently advised.

"I’m just sad, why am I always misunderstood? I know my sister did many bad things before, but I’m different from her. Why do I always receive such looks? I invited them for drinks with good intentions but was accused of kidnapping," Snake Spirit said, growing more emotional.

"You old fairy, quit acting for us; I will never believe you. I’ve seen everything you’ve done," Second Child pointed at the Snake Spirit and said.

Snake Spirit knows Second Child has the skills of Thousand-Mile Eye and Downwind Ear and can see everything here.

At this moment, someone discovered that the old grandpa and Ye Chen were missing from the dungeon and hurriedly reported to the Snake Spirit at the cave entrance.

"Great king, bad news," the subordinate came running in panic.

The Snake Spirit scolded the subordinate in dissatisfaction: "What’s the panic?"

The subordinate whispered to him: "Great king, the old man and the kid have escaped from the dungeon."

Though Snake Spirit was frustrated internally, she didn’t show it; her cave was full of traps, and escapement was impossible without her guidance.

"Child, are you mistaken? You can look again," Snake Spirit said with a twist of her eyes.

Second Child used his Thousand-Mile Eye skills again to look at the dungeon, discovering that grandpa and the big brother in the yellow robe were indeed not inside.

"How can this be?" Second Child murmured.

"Second brother, did you see grandpa and big brother?" Big Child asked anxiously.

"Big brother, grandpa and the big brother are indeed not in the dungeon," Second Child stated truthfully.

"See, you should believe me now," Snake Spirit laughed and said.

The nearby Scorpion Spirit heard but was confused, thinking that the old man and the kid were indeed locked in the dungeon; how could they not be there?

Though he had doubts, he refrained from asking them directly.

"Second brother, look more closely," Big Child urged anxiously.

Before coming, Second Brother indeed mentioned that Ye Chen was also locked up along with grandpa, but why are they missing now?

Second Child looked carefully several times again but still didn’t see grandpa and Ye Chen.

He shook his head and said, "Grandpa and big brother are indeed not here."

"See, now you should believe me," Snake Spirit laughed and said.

"You foul fairy, quickly tell us where you’ve hidden my grandpa and big brother," the quick-tempered Big Child pointed at Snake Spirit and said.

"Follow me. I’ll take you to see the old man and the child now. They’re drinking," Snake Spirit twisted her body forward.

When she turned her face, her smile instantly disappeared; she never thought Ye Chen would escape the dungeon with the old man.

It’s noteworthy that the path through the dungeon is laden with traps, and escaping it successfully should be impossible without her.

Rather than recognizing Ye Chen’s skills, an unsettling thought flashed in her mind: there must be a traitor helping Ye Chen to escape.

When these people are locked back in the dungeon, she must find out who the traitor is and severely punish them as a warning to others.

Ye Chen and the old grandpa sat at the place where Snake Spirit set up the drinking feast, waiting for Snake Spirit to return and force her to reveal the way out.

"Child, although we escaped from the dungeon, we can’t leave yet," the old grandpa sighed.

"Old grandpa, don’t worry. We’ll definitely find a way out; trust me," Ye Chen confidently said.

He knew that once Snake Spirit returned, they could leave; the key is that Snake Spirit is now nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, the voice of Snake Spirit came from afar.

Upon hearing it, the color of the old grandpa’s face changed; he looked at Ye Chen and said, "Child, let’s hide quickly to avoid being caught again. Escaping won’t be easy the next time."

Ye Chen waved his hand, and unlike the old grandpa, he showed no trace of fear.

Having seen Ye Chen’s skills earlier, though the old grandpa was somewhat worried, he listened to Ye Chen and remained seated and unmoving.

The voice of Snake Spirit got louder, and Ye Chen knew she was walking this way.

Ye Chen’s face revealed a smile; she’s finally coming.

He knew Snake Spirit had a Ruyi, her precious treasure, used to capture all the Hulus.

This time, Ye Chen wanted a good encounter with the Snake Spirit, to see just how magical her treasure is and if it’s truly as powerful as he perceived before.

Ye Chen wasn’t frightened; he even felt a twinge of excitement.
