CHAPTER 411: CHAPTER 264: YOU HAVE LOST YOUR VALUE

The man’s face changed, as he knew Luo Chen had already seen through the clues. However, he still tried to disguise his guilty conscience with an expression of bafflement, "What are you talking about? I don’t understand." He shook his head, feigning confusion.

Luo Chen turned around, looking at him with a steady gaze, "From here to the place where your incident occurred, it’s no less than a hundred meters away. Do you think a fierce spirit with such huge teeth would satisfy with just biting you once and then flee in panic?" His tone was full of doubt and interrogation.

The man’s face turned slightly pale, knowing he could no longer hide the truth. Nonetheless, he attempted to explain, "Didn’t I say already? It got startled by your footsteps." His voice contained a hint of helplessness and panic.

Luo Chen sneered, "Really? But why couldn’t I find a single footprint over there? Does it have wings to fly?" His questioning left the man speechless, and for a moment, the jungle fell into a deathly silence.

In this moment of silence, the man’s psychological defenses completely collapsed. He knew he could no longer hide it, so he took a deep breath and slowly confessed the truth, "Alright, I admit I lied. I wasn’t bitten by any fierce spirit, but encountered a man in black. He’s very powerful; I was no match for him. He injured me and threatened me not to reveal the truth..."

Luo Chen’s sneer echoed in the air, carrying a kind of undeniable mockery. His eyes were sharp, staring at the man before him, as if to see through his heart.

The man was intimidated by Luo Chen’s aura, became speechless for a moment, angrily straightening up, glaring at Luo Chen as if wanting to devour him.

"What are you?" Luo Chen’s facial expression suddenly turned cold, with a dangerous hint in his voice, "Tell me your intentions, or don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Under Luo Chen’s intense gaze, the man had no choice but to gradually calm his anger. He took a deep breath, his face slowly regaining composure, but his gaze towards Luo Chen became more vicious.

"You brat, dare to ruin my plans!" The man said through gritted teeth, his tone full of resentment.

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, showing a disdainful smile, "Finally showing your true colors? How do you think you can flaunt your power in front of me now?"

Upon hearing this, the man suddenly let out a long, eerie laugh, hoarse and piercing, like the cry of a night owl. He glared coldly at Luo Chen, bloodshot eyes making him look particularly sinister.

"How? With this!" The man shouted and suddenly flung a silver hidden weapon from his tightly clenched hand!

The hidden weapon made a sharp sound as it tore through the air, shooting directly at Luo Chen’s face! However, Luo Chen, who had been prepared, just tilted his head and easily dodged the sneak attack!

Immediately, Luo Chen lunged at the man like a fierce tiger from the mountains, extending his right arm and viciously thrusting it against the man’s neck, pinning him harshly against the trunk!

"Ah!" The man let out a piercing scream, his face swiftly turning blue and purple. He looked at Luo Chen in terror, his eyes filled with fear and unwillingness.

Luo Chen’s breath was cold as he looked at the man, a cruel smile curling at his lips, "Do you plan to attack us alone? Tell me, where are your companions hidden?"

Faced with Luo Chen’s question, the man showed signs of hesitation and struggle in his expression. He clearly didn’t want to easily reveal the whereabouts of his companions but also feared Luo Chen’s methods.

Seeing this, Luo Chen increased the pressure on his arm, causing the man to experience more suffocating pain. He coldly pressed, "Don’t think about buying time or resisting, you have no chance now. Tell me where your companions are, and I can give you a swift end."

Under Luo Chen’s brutal pressure, the man finally broke down. He struggled to speak, "They... They’re in..."

However, at that moment, a sudden arrow shot from the shadows, aimed directly at Luo Chen’s back! Luo Chen reacted swiftly, whirling around to dodge, the arrow grazing the edge of his clothes, embedding deeply into the trunk.

"Who!" Luo Chen roared in anger, his gaze cautiously sweeping the surroundings. He knew there had to be more companions hidden in the shadows; this ambush was just part of their plan.

Yet, the surroundings fell into a dead silence. The hidden enemies seemed unwilling to confront Luo Chen head-on, choosing instead to remain concealed, waiting for another opportunity.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, steadied his emotions, and turned his head towards the man pinned against the trunk, a trace of viciousness flashing in his eyes. He knew this man was no longer of any value and posed a potential threat.
