Chapter 581: Heavily Injured and Captured

As he looked around, branches and leaves surged in from all directions.

Completely unable to find any gap to break through, the Ka Yue Tribe warrior was filled with alarm.

“Don’t think that you can kill me like this!”

He roared angrily, rapidly using his Perception Ability to connect to the Space Stone, retrieving a contract.

In the next moment, a surge of energy flowed into the contract.

He then put the contract back into the Space Stone.

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior secretly sighed in relief.

He had sent an urgent rescue request to the Time Tribe warrior through the contract.

Next, all he needed to do was delay time until the Time Tribe warrior arrived for rescue.

Once the Time Tribe warrior came, not only would his safety be guaranteed, but this damned powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe would surely die.

Without any hesitation, risking further injury, he transformed into lightning and charged toward the weakest point of the encirclement at full speed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In previous attempts, he attacked from the outside in.

This time, he attacked from the inside out.

Layers of branches turned to ash under the assault of the lightning.

One hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters…

The momentum of the lightning waned with each passing moment.

What terrified the Ka Yue Tribe warrior was that his Perception Ability sensed that the blockade of branches had grown thinner and thinner.

Yet, his attacks were becoming weaker.

With only about ten meters left to break through the encirclement, the energy of the lightning was entirely depleted.

His body reverted from the lightning form back to its true self.

Inches away, just a step away from breaking free.

As long as he broke out of the blockade, even though he was heavily injured, he might not match Mares in speed.

But he was confident that he could at least escape for a while.

If he could escape for a while, it would be enough time for the Time Tribe warrior to arrive.

But it was just that little bit too far.

Moreover, he was unable to transform into lightning again.

“Let’s see how you escape now!”

Mares rejoiced, having finally succeeded.

Although he had suffered considerable injuries from the Ka Yue Tribe warrior’s fierce assaults, the Ka Yue Tribe warrior was even more heavily injured.

Most importantly, the Ka Yue Tribe warrior had failed to uncover his trap, allowing him to gain control.

His strength was already greater than that of the Ka Yue Tribe warrior.

Now that the Ka Yue Tribe warrior was heavily injured, all he needed to do was to risk worsening his own injuries and launch a fierce attack to quickly kill the Ka Yue Tribe warrior.

He might even leave this area before the Time Tribe warrior arrived.

Without any hesitation, giant branches, like massive dragons, charged toward the Ka Yue Tribe warrior.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior was powerless to resist, letting out continuous cries of pain.

“If the Ka Yue Tribe warrior is killed, will the Time Tribe warrior, who has a contract with him, be able to sense it?”

Yi Chen seemed to recall something and communicated with the Shadow King.

“Yes!”

The Shadow King responded affirmatively.

“The Time Tribe warrior’s ability to use the power of the laws of time to teleport to his companions shouldn’t be able to be used continuously, right?”

Yi Chen asked again.

“It requires a break in between.”

The Shadow King nodded.

“Don’t kill him; just heavily injure and control him!”

Yi Chen immediately sent a message to Mares.

Mares was surprised but still chose to abandon attacking the Ka Yue Tribe warrior’s vital points.

Under his relentless assaults, in the blink of an eye, the already heavily injured body of the Ka Yue Tribe warrior fell into a state of impending collapse.

Yi Chen then rushed out of the Shadow King’s hiding state, and the Binding Immortal Rope shot out from his storage ring, aiming at the Ka Yue Tribe warrior.

“Your Majesty…”

The Shadow King was astonished; he hadn’t expected Yi Chen to suddenly appear and leave his hiding range.

“What’s wrong?”

While throwing the captured Ka Yue Tribe warrior, bound by the Binding Immortal Rope, into the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Yi Chen asked the Shadow King about his shock.

Mares was the first to send a message: “Your Majesty, the Time Tribe has the ability to reverse time. If it’s not too long ago, they can use their abilities to conjure things that have happened before.”

“I see!”

Yi Chen’s brow furrowed tightly.

He realized he had made an error.

If the Time Tribe truly had this ability, they would discover his sudden appearance.

This would undoubtedly raise their vigilance.

But it didn’t matter.

Killing was the solution!

Yi Chen sent a message to the Shadow King: “Continue to lead me, and maintain the hiding state!”

"Yes!"

The Shadow King certainly didn’t dare to mention Yi Chen’s mistake. He immediately used the hiding state again to wrap around Yi Chen.

"Mares, leave quickly now, and try not to go too far. Just make sure you won’t be tracked by the Time Tribe warrior’s aura, and wait for my notification!"

Yi Chen sent the message to Mares again.

Mares didn’t understand what Yi Chen intended to do, but he still agreed and then gathered his energy to leave the area swiftly.

In an instant, he disappeared without a trace.

"We will stay here and wait for the Time Tribe warrior to appear!"

Yi Chen informed the Shadow King.

"Okay!"

The Shadow King nodded and continued to maintain the hiding state.

…

In the Time Star Cluster.

Inside a giant life planet.

Within the grand palace, surrounded by powerful defensive barriers, a Time Tribe warrior was constantly surrounded by golden light.

This golden light was filled with the powerful laws of time.

He stood over fifty meters tall, resembling a towering golden bear.

He was the one the Ka Yue Tribe warrior sought for help, the Time Tribe warrior who had signed a contract with him.

Just as the Shadow King and Mares had judged, this Time Tribe warrior was at the two hundred and tenth level, with a strength realm comparable to Morris.

Upon receiving the Ka Yue Tribe warrior’s cry for help, he immediately used a secret method to prepare to rescue the Ka Yue Tribe warrior.

The half of the spoils taken from the Ka Yue Tribe was not easy to acquire.

This was the price and risk the Time Tribe partners had to pay.

According to their contract, he had to rush to the Ka Yue Tribe’s side for rescue at once.

The greatest risk lay in the fact that since the Ka Yue Tribe partner was calling for help, it meant they had encountered a powerful existence that threatened their life.

Time Tribe partners typically chose Ka Yue Tribe members who were one major realm lower than themselves.

In this way, if the Ka Yue Tribe member couldn’t defeat their opponent, it didn’t mean they also couldn’t win.

If the strength realm vastly surpassed that of the Ka Yue Tribe partner, by the time he rushed to the rescue, the Ka Yue Tribe partner might already be killed in an instant.

In such cases, according to the terms of the contract, he could also interrupt the teleportation and abandon the rescue.

The Time Tribe, which had signed a contract with the Ka Yue Tribe, feared most encountering an enemy with the power to instantly kill the Ka Yue Tribe, while deliberately not doing so, waiting for their Time Tribe partners to arrive before striking together.

This way, not only would the Ka Yue Tribe partner surely die, but they would also prove difficult to escape unharmed.

Because of this, the vast majority of the Time Tribe were unwilling to sign such contracts with the Ka Yue Tribe.

Only a small number of Time Tribe members struggling to obtain resources would do so.

Their goal, of course, was to receive half of the spoils taken by the Ka Yue Tribe partner.

Sitting at home, resources and treasures could also come knocking at the door.
