682 No Way to Retreat

Xu Han was a little scared. "In that case, this large forest was the habitat of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. It may have had many fierce beasts, monsters, and even humans in the past. However, they were all eaten by the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers in the illusion. These flowers even consumed the blood and bones. This is why this forest is so quiet. There are no other living creatures, only flowers, and trees."

"That's probably it." Hans Wilson nodded. "If that's the case, we might still be surrounded by the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. After all, there are so many of them, and they must be spread across a wide area. Just because there aren't any in our area doesn't mean there aren't around."

Allen Smith couldn't help but think of something and said, "I guess the small number of small animals outside only live outside. After all, those small animals don't have any strength and don't dare to enter the forest, so they survived?"

When Luo Wei heard this, he shook his head and said, "There's also another possibility. These Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers deliberately let go of the small animals at the outermost edge of the forest. They let these small animals live at the outer edge of the forest and attract the creatures from the outside. Otherwise, the other creatures would notice something is wrong with this forest and not enter."

When they heard this, they felt that this possibility was shocking. If it was so, these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were too cunning. They deliberately set up a trap where small animals live safely on the periphery of the forest and attract other creatures to enter!

"If that's the case, these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers are too wicked." Xu Han said with hatred.

Liu Yan thought about it and felt it was possible, "Maybe it's true. After all, there are only small animals on the outer edge of the forest. There are no small animals with no strength, nor are there any powerful fierce beasts. The weak fierce beasts usually live on the outer edge of the forest, but now there's not a single one. They might have been eaten by these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. These Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers deliberately gave us an easy way to walk and led us to their center. Isn't this a trap? The phenomenon at the forest's edge is likely to be one of the traps of these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers."

Hearing Liu Yan's analysis, Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the other four immediately felt this was possible.

Thinking about it carefully, these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were too terrifying. They were monster plants and did not attract much attention. After all, these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers did not look much different from ordinary plants.

If one did not observe, one would not be able to notice it.

Previously, these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers had been hidden from the perception of Liu Yan and the others.

Even Liu Yan, who had such a powerful perception, had not detected the existence of these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers before.

After noticing the existence of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, Liu Yan was able to intentionally pay attention and sense these flowers with his S-grade Omniscient Insight and SS-grade Extraordinary Five Senses.

Liu Yan pondered for a while and couldn't help but feel that this group of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers was a little terrifying. They had set up traps everywhere and were full of schemes.

These Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were so cunning, and there were so many of them. It was very likely Liu Yan and the others were still surrounded by the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.

When Liu Yan and Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf led Allen Smith and the others to escape, they chose the direction where there were fewer Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.

This seemingly safe direction was likely the direction that the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers had deliberately given Liu Yan. It was a trap they had set up to let Liu Yan and Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf escape here with the others into their encirclement!

At this moment, Ye Yifan suggested, "I think we should leave this place as soon as possible. These Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers are too strange."

"I also feel that it's better to leave." Hans Wilson nodded. "Our spirit energy is still too weak. We're no match for these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. It's better to escape."

Xu Han agreed. "These Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers are good at spirit energy. It's hard to deal with them, and there are too many of them. We should leave this place."

Allen Smith and Luo Wei didn't say anything, but they wanted to know Liu Yan's thoughts.

At this moment, Ye Yifan, Hans Wilson, and Xu Han also looked at Liu Yan.

"Captain, what are you thinking? Do you want to deal with these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers?"

"That's right, Captain. These Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers are too difficult to deal with. I think we should leave this place."

"We can wait until our spirit energy is stronger. At least strong enough to resist the Hallucinatory Pollen, and then come here to deal with these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers."

They did not want to deal with these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. It wasn't that they were scared, but that this group of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers was a little strange.

The five of them were also top-tier experts. Although they were not as powerful as Liu Yan, they were not weak either.

However, they had been unable to exert any of their strength just now.

If Liu Yan and Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf had not come to their rescue, they would have all died there.

They didn't want to face such a strange group of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, at least not now.

He would wait until their spirit energy was strong enough to defend.

Liu Yan looked at his teammates and said helplessly, "Everyone, perhaps we have no choice but to kill them. Otherwise, we won't be able to leave."

Hearing Liu Yan's words, Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the others were a little confused.

"Captain, what do you mean? we can't leave this place?" Xu Han asked.

"Captain, didn't you just say that there were no Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers nearby?" It's safe, so why can't we leave?"

"Don't tell me we can't leave this place?"

Allen Smith said, "Is the way back blocked by the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower? We can take a detour."

"I can go and scout. We can take a detour back." Luo Wei said.

They asked one after another, but none of them understood what Liu Yan meant.

Liu Yan explained helplessly, " Just now, the five of you were in the illusion. In a moment of desperation, Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf and I brought the five of you to escape. We headed in the way with fewer Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. When Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf and I were running away with you, there were still many Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers around here before we arrived. However, as we got closer, the number of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers suddenly decreased significantly."

Liu Yan continued, "There was not a single one after we arrived here. I think something's wrong. After all, these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers have strong spirit energy that can make us fall into an illusion and kill ourselves. Besides, they also know how to set traps. So, are we sure this is not the place the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers want us to be? Is this not a safe place? Are we deeper into the encirclement of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers?"
