Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Preparing to Cast the Net 3
Hearing this, Gaiyin couldn’t help but frown.
"But if he’s not at my level, why can’t I lock on to his Qi?"
Without answering Gaiyin’s question, Yadang fell into a serious contemplation for quite a while before he asked, "At the moment when you detect his Qi, can you lock onto his position and trap him?"
Gaiyin fell silent for a couple of seconds.
"I should be able to."
"That’s enough then!" Yadang slapped Gaiyin’s shoulder lightly, whispering, "Find a place to hide, I will lure him. The moment his Qi leaks out, you trap him."
Gaiyin didn’t respond.
But Yadang knew what he was worried about and continued, "We need to locate the person first, let’s give it a shot. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll quietly deal with it while keeping Su Tang in the dark."
Gaiyin glanced at Yadang, his obsidian-like eyes revealing a touch of joy.
They shared a laugh, although it held a hint of bloodlust, an icy undertone Su Tang had never witnessed before.
Gaiyin was lying on top of a protruding rock from the stone wall. Thanks to the dim light and the height of the rock, Gaiyin was able to clearly observe the food and surrounding environment while remaining unnoticed from below.
Everything was set.
Yadang lazily stretched his waist and found a spot beside the food to lay down. He propped his head with one hand, looking drowsy.
As the aroma in the cave grew thicker, it enticed the hunger within.
Yadang smacked his lips, tossing back and forth, mumbling to himself, "Ah... There’s hardly any food to be found in Wilderness anymore. The chieftain told us to eat our fill, but now we have so little left. I wonder if it’s enough to make it through the Wilderness... "
"....."
The surrounding area was silent, after a while, seemingly bored, Yadang’s head slowly began to nod off.
Gaiyin lay alert on the stone wall, his eyes like torches, constantly attentive to the surrounding area, especially the small cave where he had noticed something unusual earlier.
Before long, Yadang was lying on the ground with his eyes closed tight. Listening carefully, one could hear the sound of him snoring, appearing to be in a deep sleep.
Gaiyin’s expression suddenly hardened, his gaze locking onto a corner in the distance, where seemed to have a slight fluctuation just now.
He held his breath, motionless.
Yet, strangely, after he had sensed that fluctuation, there was no more movement.
The quieter it got, the more alert Gaiyin became, his attention directly shifted to the empty area near the food.
Suddenly-
A piece of meat on the edge where the food was stored disappeared out of thin air, and Gaiyin didn’t sense any fluctuation.
Suppressing his aura from leaking, his eyes were glued onto the scattered food nearby.
The person was very cautious, only collecting some unnoticeable scattered food around, and his position was irregular. He might take something on the left at one moment, then dash to the right the next second.
Shortly, he cleaned up all the scattered food around.
Yadang remained motionless on the ground, his soft snores making it seem as though he truly had drifted off.
The person gradually grew bolder, beginning to move towards the center of the food pile.
Gaiyin, on the stone wall, had the corner of his mouth slightly raised - the fish had taken the bait. It was time to close the net.
