Chapter 135 The Five Imprisoned Members of the Exploration Team

Because the defensive artifact that Buwei carried was brand new and undamaged, Su Yu and Buwei were not in as bad a situation as the first team; they were simply taken to the sky along with the defensive artifact.

But I got dizzy from all the spinning.

Su Yu abandoned the idea of ​​observing the route and handed over this important task to Xiao Qi.

Then I relaxed and fell asleep.

He was about to vomit if he didn't go to sleep soon.

The sandstorm, as thick as a pen holder, swept its spoils all the way into the heart of the stormy sand sea.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yu was suddenly surprised by Xiao Qi's high note:

Footsteps approached without any attempt to conceal their presence, and the conversation was conducted openly and without any attempt to hide anything.

"How many are there this time?"

“Nine. We’ve captured all the ones from Nandu, plus two from the Ghost Market exploration team. Let’s put them together with the previous five.”

"Ugh, moving people is such a hassle."

"Say less, it's because our cultivation and status are low."

Su Yu listened silently with his eyes closed. Since he knew in advance that this was the storyline that A Yao was going to follow, he did not immediately lash out. He pretended to be an ordinary peak Nascent Soul cultivator and went along with the crowd, pretending to be asleep.

"Their shells are quite sturdy."

"Don't worry about all that, just move them all together."

Su Yu felt the ball outside sway, and then it seemed to be lifted up.

That's good, saves trouble. I can meet up with my teammates without pain later.

So he lay down even more peacefully.

Judging from the sounds, it seemed like they went down, passed through several doors, and were then thrown into some kind of weird place, probably a prison cell.

The gate closed, and the footsteps faded into the distance.

Then came a series of hurried footsteps, as people crowded together toward the defensive barrier.

Su Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes, feigning that she had just regained consciousness.

What came into view was not the dark and damp dungeon I had imagined, but a spacious room with a bed, table and chairs and other facilities. There were even some unfinished meals on the table.

"Hey, hey, brothers, he's awake."

"Captain, move aside, you're blocking my view."

"Get out of here, I want to see Abu."

"This guy looks a bit unfamiliar. Is he new to the exploration team?"

Su Yu opened her eyes and saw several faces squeezed together outside the transparent defensive artifact, exactly five in total.

He couldn't help but lean back: "You...a team?"

Five faces nodded in unison, a hint of expectation in their eyes: "Yes, yes, it's us. And you are...?"

Su Yu tilted her head: "I'm Feng Jiu, and I haven't been with the exploration team for long."

He glanced down and saw that Buwei was still unconscious, so he briefly explained his situation: "We found Li Tian and Zeng Dong earlier. Asa sent them back to their camp first. When Abu and I were looking for you, we encountered a sandstorm."

"Where are we now?"

Confusion appeared in Su Yu's eyes at the right moment, and she covered her head as if she was a little dizzy.

The five people outside the defensive barrier looked at each other and then put forward their mature and steady captain as their representative to explain the situation.

The place they are currently in is the base of a heretical cultivation force called Can, which has ties with the Demon Realm and appears to be a spy group that the Demon Realm has bribed to attack the Spirit Realm.

The giant sandstorm outside, shaped like a pen holder, was created by them. The principle behind it is unknown, but it returns to its original position after being released like a carrier pigeon. It often brings people back, and it also has the effects of causing dizziness, unconsciousness, and absorbing spiritual energy.

As for why they know so much...

The captain said with a sigh, "We never expected that our Ghost Market would be such a behemoth spanning the Demon Realm and the Spirit Realm. They wanted to bribe the people of the Ghost Market to facilitate their infiltration of the Spirit Realm, which is why they didn't attack us."

Su Yu hesitated slightly: "Then you..."

The captain laughed heartily: "Of course we didn't agree, so everyone was locked up."

A person nearby added, "It seems they want to arrest more people from the Ghost Market, especially those in high positions of power. If they can't bribe them, they'll use us as hostages to threaten the Ghost Market."

"By the way, this room has been filled with demonic energy to suppress us, so don't use your spiritual power recklessly."

At this moment, Buwei also vaguely regained consciousness.

As soon as he regained consciousness, he realized that something was wrong with the environment. How could someone be swept from outdoors into indoors by a sandstorm?

He sat up abruptly, looked around, and spotted several familiar faces.

The captain then briefly recounted their imprisonment to Buwei.

Buwei's vigilance hadn't disappeared: "How can you prove that your identity isn't someone else's disguise?"

The captain's smile faded, and he crossed his arms, speaking in a deep voice: "Since that's what you think..."

"I have no choice but to tell you the painful truth."

Bu Wei visibly tensed up.

Su Yu glanced at the other four team members who were suppressing their laughter, her lips twitched slightly, and she subtly moved to the side.

After whetting Bu Wei's appetite to the point of exhaustion, the captain finally spoke with a big smile: "I've already found the rag doll you knitted, but don't worry, I'll still pretend to be very surprised when I receive it on my birthday~"

Bu Wei slowly clenched her fists, her eyes slightly reddening.

The defensive shield was suddenly canceled. Bu Wei dragged Su Yu, who was on the other end of the rope, forward. Su Yu was surprised by his strength. Then he punched the captain and said in a hoarse voice, "If you make this kind of joke again, I'll kill you, you believe me?"

"I won't dare, I won't dare," the captain said with a smile despite taking the punch. "Abu, I'm so touched that you came to see me in person."

"It's just a rescue team, don't flatter yourself."

"Alright, alright, I was just being presumptuous."

"You'll admit it if I say you're just being delusional?"

"So thank you Abu for worrying about me."

Su Yu, who had just been dragged and stumbled, vaguely realized that this sounded like flirting.

He felt like he missed Twelve even more now.

Su Yu silently lowered her head, untied the rope, and set herself and Abu free.

Then he quietly moved away from the two of them and approached the one who was watching the commotion most enthusiastically, and earnestly asked, "Senior, may I get an explanation?"

The man glanced at him, his eyes immediately revealing his appreciation for a fellow traveler, and then he began to communicate with Su Yu telepathically.

Su Yu wanted to hear it, so she didn't block his telepathic transmission and quickly got the gossip.

When Buwei first joined the exploration team, he was the youngest member. He wasn't assigned to any particular team at the time, and he would follow whichever team's missions he was assigned to.

Then, the person who usually took Buwei with him was their team captain. The two of them got along really well during that time. They all thought that Buwei was definitely going to be on the team, but during the team selection period, the two of them had some kind of conflict, and Buwei just didn't choose the team and went to the third team instead.

However, not long after, the two reconciled, and this is how things turned out. Everyone knows that the two are probably a couple now.

Su Yu seemed to be deep in thought.

Is this what it's like for couples to get along?
