Chapter 785: Cao Jiaren From the Cao Family

The person that Han Fei first thought of was Cao Qiu, who was the only one that would smash enemies with fist marks. He probably had a lot more of such fist marks.

Han Fei thought of something. If he could find Cao Qiu, it would be very easy to take down Yu Hun and the others! The man could throw out a couple of fist marks, and Yu Ji and the others would be killed even if they were Heavenly Talents.

Yu Hun said solemnly, “Human beings. They were a team of human beings, including at least three manipulators, an armorist and a soul warrior. It’s a full-class team! Human beings always love teamwork in battles.”

All of a sudden, everybody including Yu Hun got anxious.

To be more exact, some of them were nervous, and some were excited.

Yu Da, for example, was the only person who had never fought in the front line. He had often heard how strong human beings were and the stories of the experts who returned from the front line. He was both scared and eager at this moment.

Yu Ji said solemnly, “We’re outnumbered. Since they’re capable of slaying a Thousand-Year Tree Demon, they can’t be weak. I suggest we avoid them.”

Yu Hun nodded. “Yu Ji is right. Don’t underestimate the human experts! If human beings are so easy to deal with, we would’ve conquered the Scattered Stars Island a long time ago!”

Yu Ying slightly nodded. “So, which direction are we going?”

Everybody looked at Han Fei, as if they were saying, you should lead the way with your necessary skills.

Nobody suspected Han Fei at this moment. After all, if Han Fei hadn’t executed the Thousand-Year Tree Demon in the earlier battle, a lot more people would’ve died.

Han Fei expressionlessly took out a “peppermint” and put it in his mouth, before he observed the situation.

He landed on the bottom of the sea and crouched, pretending to be a professional.

In fact, he was simply running an analysis. There were bound to be manipulators in the human team, who could prevent plants from approaching them in such an environment. So, the direction where there were gaps among the plants must be the direction in which they left.

However, Han Fei wasn’t sure if Yu Hun and others were experienced. If they realized that he was leading them to the human team, they would suspect him.

Immediately, to everybody’s surprise, he pointed at the direction that was opposite to human beings’ retreat. “Something changed the plants in that way.”

Yu Hun immediately asked, “How can you tell?”

Yu Ying jumped in, “Don’t say that it’s another necessary skill for a sea creature to survive…”

Han Fei: “…”

He thought for a moment and said, “This way is wider and has a better view. It’s easier to deal with dangers. It must’ve been expanded on purpose. The opposite way has thick leaves and seems to have been hidden on purpose.”

Han Fei didn’t give an answer but simply let them choose for themselves.

However, Han Fei tried to manipulate them by implying that human beings covered their traces left in the way of the thick algae.

Yu Hun said, “Let’s go. Our purpose is to kill the dry tree, not to fight human beings.”

Yu Ji felt that something wasn’t right, but it did sound very reasonable. She also nodded. “I’m on board.”

Han Fei secretly sneered. He only hoped that Cao Qiu wouldn’t move very fast. He could use him to kill Yu Hun and the others and then sneak away.

Whatever caused the anomaly of the Demon Purification Pot in the undersea forest must be extraordinary. He preferred looking for the treasure to killing the tree.

Or, maybe he could turn back into a human being and then openly kill some Half-Mermen. Then, he wouldn’t go back to the Ten Thousand Demon Valley at all.

On his wrist, Shu Shan suddenly said, “You’re tricking them because you want to kill them all?”

Han Fei said, “What are you talking about? I point out a way for them in the deep sea.”

Shu Shan thought to himself, just keep lying. He reminded him, “Kid, don’t think that you’re smart. You’ll be easily exposed if human beings have left traces of fighting up ahead.”

Han Fei realized that it did make sense.

Therefore, he instantly said, “Wait a moment.”

Yu Hun was getting impatient. “Why? Have you found something else?”

Han Fei suddenly pointed at the direction of lush algae. “I think we should chase the human team.”

“Why?”

Everybody else asked in confusion.

Han Fei said casually, “Those humans have been moving openly until they came here. Is it possible that they found anything?”

What Han Fei said enlightened everybody.

Han Fei was quite satisfied. By saying that, he implied that they were going in the way that human beings came, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they found traces of fighting.

Han Fei was also certain that Yu Hun didn’t want to chase those human beings, because the fist marks of the Cao Family were very powerful even for him, not to mention Yu Hun and the others.

As he expected, Yu Hun waved his hand and said, “No, listen to me on this one. We’re outnumbered and they have multiple manipulators. We won’t have advantage in a head-on clash. Our top priority is to join another sea demon team.”

Yu Bing nodded. “I agree with Lord Yu Hun’s suggestion.”

Yu Da agreed, “Me too.”

Both of them were scared. Yu Bing hadn’t used the Immortal Seal yet, but Yu Da and Yu Hun only had one life left and they didn’t intend to risk it and die for nothing.

Han Fei sneered. The more scared of death you are, the sooner you’ll die! I’m going to bring you to hell!

Half an hour later…

Han Fei’s team found three places that had battle traces. Everybody thought that it was a safe way that human beings had explored, so they moved very fast.

Han Fei was the only one who was observing the concentration of spiritual energy and smelling the seaweeds that had been torn apart.

A moment later, on the fourth battlefield, Han Fei knew that they were catching up based on the concentration of spiritual energy.

Suddenly, Yu Hun frowned. “Something isn’t right. I sense that the human air is getting stronger.”

Yu Bing questioned, “Did someone on their team die here?”

Yu Hun considered for a moment. “That’s possible. However, it’s also possible that we’ve run into another human team. The areas we’re exploring must be overlapping those human beings explore. Let’s be careful.”

After only a quarter, Han Fei detected that some people were fighting a Hundred-Year Tree Demon up ahead.

Huh? Cao Qiu isn’t among them… Wait, Cao Jiaren?

Han Fei raised his eyebrows and sent a telepathic message. End the battle as quickly as possible. Half-Mermen are catching up to you.

Cao Jiaren, who was commanding the battle, came to a sudden halt, but her expression didn’t change.

Cao Jiaren looked back casually, but the guy was beyond her senses. So, she spoke to her team telepathically, Kill it in three seconds. Hunter, hide. Armorist, be ready to open shields. Manipulators, submerge. Soul warriors, protect the spirit gatherers… Be prepared for battle.

As she talked, she grabbed the flute that she had been carrying and put on a smile. Whoever had sent the message and whether or not they were malicious, she was confident of dealing with them.

Han Fei continued sending his message, One of them has a Divine Weapon and battle suit, and the other three have Semi-Divine ones… Please disguise yourselves, or you will be detected in twenty seconds.

Cao Jiaren frowned, wondering who was talking. Human beings were all in teams. Was it a Thousand-Year Tree Demon that was trying to manipulate her to kill the sea demons?

Cao Jiaren instantly said to everyone, “Nobody is to land on the bottom of the sea.”

…

Suddenly, Yu Hun stopped and remarked in surprise, “Not good, we’ve run into human beings… Wait, there are only five of them?”

Yu Ji’s expression quickly changed. “How is it possible? Haven’t human beings already explored this way? How can there still be anyone?”

Yu Ji looked at Han Fei, who frowned and said in confusion, “That doesn’t make sense! Are they fighting?”

Yu Hun shook his head. “Not exactly… Huh! They’re healing their wounds. A human spirit gatherer is healing his two teammates.”

Yu Hun was instantly tempted. “This is a great opportunity. They seem to have just been through a great battle with heavy losses. We’ll go there and kill them.”

Han Fei looked as regular as before, but he couldn’t be happier about his senses. Even if Yu Hun used to be a peak-level sea demon, so what? He was not even as strong as Han Fei as he was suppressed. It was only natural that he was fooled.

Seeing that Yu Hun had already dashed out, Yu Da and Yu Bing quickly followed him. They dare not fight a complete human team, but they wouldn’t mind dealing with a few individuals.

Because Yu Hun reacted too fast, Yu Ji and Yu Ying could only chase him. Han Fei followed them about half a step behind them.

He dare not keep himself behind too much in case he was suspected. He was sure of every human being’s position except the hunter, but it was impossible for the hunter to kill him.

The target was ten kilometers away.

On the human side, several guys rose and began to flee.

Yu Hun roared, “Move at full speed! They’re trying to run!”

When Yu Hun was only a thousand meters away, Han Fei suddenly realized that the Heaven Spirit Detoxifying Insect started swallowing things as if it were having a feast.

“Shoot… Poison God?”

Han Fei should’ve seen it coming that Cao Jiaren, as Cao Qiu’s sister, definitely had Poison God, and it was absolutely a strengthened version.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Han Fei was filled with the urge of fighting.

After only one moment, Yu Ji suddenly said, “Wait, this is an ambush.”

Wu… Wu… Wu…

All of a sudden, a weird and mystical sound echoed, and those who were running dashed back.

Thousands of swords and sabers were sweeping, and a purple streak of light moved at Yu Hun like a flying ribbon.

All the spiritual plants were on a rampage. Infinite leaves of the seaweeds were coming. Some gigantic vines were slapping them like snakes too.

Han Fei quickly had the antidote to the strengthened version of Poison God, fearing that the Heaven Spirit Detoxifying Insect couldn’t take care of it.

Then, Han Fei hopped among the vines like an agile monkey. However, he found himself in a weird environment, and his eyes, nose and ears were malfunctioning.

Han Fei instantly said telepathically, Hey, we’re still cooperating. I’m the Inferior Man-Fish who sent you a warning. Why don’t you move your illusion away?

However, the moment he said that, Han Fei sensed soundwaves roaring in every direction. Each of the soundwaves was as powerful as the strike of a peak-level Hanging Fisher.

Han Fei was instantly lost for words. Hey, Cao Jiaren, I’m an undercover agent that human beings sent to sea demons!
