TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Chapter 388: Slowly approaching

Liu Yang was not aware of the things that happened around him, he was focused on digging the soil in an attempt to find something.

(Something is not right ...) He thought, but he doesn't know what it is.

(The sea creatures around me are swimming in circles waiting for the moment when my poison completely dissipates. I need to control the poison to prevent it from completely enveloping me and keep some places without the poison and slowly dissipate.) Liu Yang created a plan to keep the sea creatures around him.

His body was covered with poison, but not all parts, some places like his hands were without the poison. Every minute, Liu Yang dissipates a small amount of poison from some part of his body.

People cannot feel this small change unless they are poison experts or have a very strong detection skill to feel the difference.

Sea creatures can feel the poison dissipating from Liu Yang's body, so many of them were waiting for the right moment to attack. Because of this, many sea creatures were waiting.

Roar !!! Crack !!!

One sea creature roared and bit another.

Roar !!!! Splash !! Splash !!!

The two sea creatures begin to fight fiercely to see who will devour who.

The blood attracted more sea creatures, even those who were close to Liu Yang.

Before, a total of thirteen were swimming around him. Now, there were only seven, the other six went to fight in an attempt to devour the injured creatures.

Such a scene is very common in the ocean.

Sea creatures fighting and devouring each other.

The strongest eats and lives for another day and the weak are killed and devoured.

Suddenly, on the other side, more sea creatures are also starting to fight.

"!!!!!" Liu Yang felt that this was wrong.

Sea creatures don't attack each other overnight. Especially so many at the same time.

The most suspicious was that these creatures were around him protecting against possible hidden attacks.

(It looks like they're coming !!! I need to get the poison ready to poison the targets) Liu Yang mentally shouted. He waved his hand and more poison was coming out of his clothes, but it was so diluted in the water that it was impossible to see the poison.

However, sea creatures can still smell the faint smell of the poison. So, they started to move away from Liu Yang slowly and headed towards where the fighting between the sea creatures was happening.

(That should be enough to keep the sea creatures away. The problem is, I don't know if the other side can breathe in the water or they are using some kind of skill or equipment that helps them breathe underwater.) Liu Yang thought about people in the dark while he controlled the poison.

The darkness around him is his worst enemy.

The disadvantage of Liu Yang was that he could not see in the darkness. His enemies can.

(I need to protect my head to prevent it from being attacked. My chest and my little friend are already protected)

A metal helmet was taken out of his pocket, Liu Yang took off the crown and put the helmet on his head before putting the crown on top.

(Now, I'm more secure) He thought with satisfaction and continued to dig.

The most important thing for Liu Yang was not to kill his opponents but to survive their attacks. As long as he is alive, he can still continue to attack.

Twenty meters away ...

"Burley, we are already ready to attack the target"

"OK. Jairo, I want you to order the creatures to approach our target, but without making it look like the creatures are being controlled. Our target is smart and should be able to see the difference" Burley commented. He was taking all possible precautions to prevent Liu Yang from escaping the ambush.

The group has already lost many members to him. If more are killed, the Assassins League would lose a lot of faces again.

The league has already sent many people to kill Liu Yang and he has already killed them all. If they continued to fail like that, they would no longer be called the Assassins League.

"Burley, should I continue to get creatures to attack others to cause more distractions?"

"Lidapha, ask Tanelia about our target's situation. Did he make a move?"

The group had the skill to see in the dark, so they saw everything as if it were on the surface. The problem is that they need to be very careful with the creatures around to avoid being attacked.

So, the person who is watching over Liu Yang is a person named Tanelia.

"Burley, according to my sister. Our target walked about three meters to the right, but he keeps digging"

"OK. Jairo, we will move slowly towards our target. But it cannot be at the same time. Try to make it look like the sea creatures are approaching at irregular intervals. According to the information we received from the Temore Kingdom and the Khisal Kingdom, the target has no skill to see in the dark, because of that, he has those gloves and the shiny helmet"

"Roger." Jairus ordered the sea creatures.

Some went first towards Liu Yang, but when they reached ten meters away from him.

Something happened.

Roar !!! Roar !!!

The nearest sea creatures began to squirm and refused to continue.

"!!!!!!" This scene scared the League of Assassins group.

"Jairo, what happened? Why are these sea creatures squirming? Were they poisoned by the target's poison?" Burley asked anxiously.

"Not. They are not poisoned. Their status window doesn't show that they were poisoned, but I don't know what's going on" Jairo couldn't feel what the creatures were feeling, so he could only imagine the possible causes.

"I see ... It looks like something is preventing sea creatures from getting close ..."

A few moments later, another surprising scene took place.

The sea creatures stopped squirming and continued to swim towards Liu Yang as if nothing had happened.

"!!!!"

"Jairo, what happened?"

"I do not know. Tanelia must know what's going on"

"My sister said that our target moved three meters further." Lidapha commented.

"It seems that there is some kind of barrier that prevents sea creatures from getting close to him But this is very strange. Before, several sea creatures were about five meters away from him, but why can't we get close?"

"I think he had put up the barrier when these sea creatures left him. He must have some kind of skill that attracts sea creatures, but after the fight started, the creatures went to devour each other." 

"I see We need to be careful when moving towards our target. He must have some tricks up his sleeve. The most important thing is to be careful with his poison"

"Roger"

"We will continue to follow the plan. Prepare your weapons. When we reach five meters away, we will attack"
