Chapter 229 Spying
"These people are really cunning! This isn't a good solution for Fu Hong."
Gar and Fu Hong huddled in a secluded spot, watching the scattered groups of people, and Gar, feeling increasingly annoyed, muttered complaints to Fu Hong in a low voice.
Fu Hong was speechless at their countermeasures against the two of them.
As expected, the first day was too hasty and alerted the enemy. I thought I could quickly eliminate that summoner, but her last-ditch counterattack led to the current situation.
As expected, the people selected from various countries to participate in the international competition are no ordinary individuals!
However, these few days of observation have not been entirely fruitless.
"I've been observing the summoners these past two days, and I've noticed that besides the two of us, we've only encountered groups of six people."
In other words, besides the one we eliminated, there's another one who's been fighting alone the whole time. We're out of options here. Should we look for that lone survivor somewhere else?
Fu Hong told Ga'er about what he had discovered, to see what she thought.
What could Gar possibly be thinking? Two summoners in a group—even if they chose to ambush, even if they won, they would definitely pay a heavy price.
She wouldn't want to achieve this outcome unless absolutely necessary; if there were any lone individuals, she would naturally choose to deal with them.
Is there even a question?! Isn't it obvious?
The two people who have reached an agreement now have the goal of finding the person who is hiding somewhere.
Want to snag a last-minute bargain? That's impossible with them.
Mist Turtle Island isn't particularly large, but it's not small either. If the two of them were to explore it on their own, it would take them countless days.
They might not even be able to find it, it's such a waste of time, but it's okay, they don't need to look for it themselves, they have their own methods.
Fu Hong then used "Snake King's Call!" and the surrounding snakes, as if receiving a command, quickly scattered in all directions.
"I've already asked my little one to ask the other snakes on the island to search! They said there are quite a few snakes on the island, so I believe we'll have results soon."
Fu Hong confidently spoke to Ga'er, who nodded and feigned an expression of adoration towards him, which pleased Fu Hong greatly.
Ha! Men
It was a day later when the snakes on the island finally detected Yufei's location.
Upon receiving the news, Fu Hong and Ga Er, delayed by their journey, arrived at Yu Fei's encampment that very night, guided by the messenger snake.
Hiss~ Hiss, hiss!
Once it reached a certain range, the messenger snake stopped advancing and instead seemed to be talking to Fu Hong.
Ga'er looked at Fu Hong with a puzzled expression. Fu Hong began to listen attentively to the messenger snake's words. After the messenger snake left...
He said to Gar
"The snake that just informed me said that the person we're looking for is nearby, but he scattered something that snakes hate. It told us to go find her ourselves, and it won't follow."
Upon hearing Fu Hong's words, Ga'er sniffed, taking in the scent in the air.
"Indeed, there's a Devil Fruit scent in the air! I didn't expect Devil Fruits to have this effect. So, Hong-ge, what do we do?"
"It's getting late, and we've been traveling for 5 or 6 hours straight, so we're probably a bit tired. Let's find something to eat and rest."
Observe that summoner to see if he has the ability to act alone, or if he's simply hiding because he's not strong enough, hoping to pick off an easy target.
If they are very strong, we may need a meticulous plan to ensure a decisive strike; if they are not strong…”
Fu Hong didn't say anything more, but Ga'er understood what he meant: if you're not strong, you're just meat on a chopping board, at their mercy.
Therefore, there's no need to waste too much time planning how to deal with him.
Yufei, fast asleep, was unaware that two pairs of eyes were watching her from a hidden place, like two venomous snakes, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
However, those two were unaware that their overly cautiousness had caused them to miss the best opportunity to deal with Yufei.
So sometimes being cautious is a good thing; it can save your life in a critical moment. But sometimes being too cautious is also a bad thing.
You might miss some crucial opportunities; these are things that smart people need to seize on their own.
The day after Fu Hong and Ga'er found her, at the crack of dawn, Yu Fei woke up from her sleep as usual.
Yufei first went to check the fish baskets that had been lowered yesterday and took the fish out of them.
Her supplies now fully meet her survival needs, and there are even some left over each time.
She salted the excess fish, long-eared miniature pig meat, and other meats, then placed them in the smoke cellar she had built to smoke and dry.
After enjoying a delicious meal, they went out to collect wild vegetables, onions, ginger, garlic, and the like.
It's now!
Fu Hong, through his discreet observation that morning, concluded that the girl appeared to be the kind who was weak and unable to take care of herself.
I originally intended to finish her off near her encampment, but the taste of that Devil Fruit was indeed quite overpowering.
Neither his rattlesnake-like dragon nor Gar's blackwater seven-star scorpion were willing to leave the summoning space.
Now that we've finally waited until she's out of the area affected by the Devil Fruit she scattered, when is the time to attack?
At Fu Hong's command, his summoned beast, the Rattlesnake Thunder Serpent, shot towards Yu Fei like an arrow released from a bow, its two large venomous fangs bared.
I'm planning to give Yufei a bite whenever I'm near her!
At the same time, Ga'er's Blackwater Seven-Star Scorpion raised its venomous stinger and brandished its two large pincers, rapidly moving towards Yufei in a zigzag pattern through the grass.
Just as the rattlesnake was about to succeed, and Fu Hong and Ga'er thought their plan was about to go through, their smiles froze on their faces in less than a second.
Just as the rattlesnake was about to bite Yufei, a black claw descended from the sky and slammed it to the ground!
Yufei was also startled by the sudden commotion. When she looked closely, she was so frightened that she almost lost her mind.
Snakes! And that wasn't all. Just as the rattlesnake was dazed and shaking its head after being slapped by Xiao Hei's claw, the Blackwater Seven-Star Scorpion also pounced, swinging its venomous stinger at Yufei.
Little Black transformed into a blur, slapping the Blackwater Seven-Star Scorpion away with another blow.
"Little Black is awesome!"
Seeing that Xiao Hei had saved her dog's life again, Yufei praised Xiao Hei generously.
Xiao Hei held his chin high, taking Yu Fei's praise for granted.
And it arrogantly declared, "Humans, what will you do without me?! Aren't you going to treat yourself to some delicious fish?!"
The rattlesnake-like dragon suddenly regained consciousness, rattling its tail and emitting signals.
He looked at Yufei and Xiaohei with cold eyes, as if they were two lambs to the slaughter.
Meanwhile, the Blackwater Seven-Star Scorpion not far away also raised its two large pincers, glaring menacingly.
The rattlesnake-like dragon's gaze immediately displeased Xiao Hei.
Meow!
(Hey kid! What are you looking at your grandpa for?! You're asking for it!)
With a meow, Little Black started to move.
