When Xu Gang suddenly rose up in fury, his face was a twisted, mad visage...

In his view, at such a close range and with his sudden strike, Hu Xiaobei would have no time to react.

Thus, he thought, he would quickly tear him to pieces completely.

Xu Gang utterly despised Hu Xiaobei, so only by completely shredding him could he feel slightly better inside...

...

"I guessed right!" Hu Xiaobei said softly as he shrugged his shoulders looking at Xu Gang's absolutely fierce expression.

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei took steps backward...

His steps were calm, yet they were very effective!

In a blink of an eye, Hu Xiaobei had moved back over ten meters...

"This..."

Seeing Hu Xiaobei rapidly retreating, Xu Gang remained dumbfounded...

Earlier, Xu Gang was convinced he was holding the winning cards, but now, he realized how wrong he was...

"I don't believe you can escape to the end of the earth!" He muttered coldly to himself and then sped up once more!

In his mind, he would eventually catch up to Hu Xiaobei and tear him to shreds...

However, he quickly realized he had thought too much again, for as he began to speed up, wisps of pure white fog started to swirl around him again!

"This..."

When shocked, he was once again engulfed by endless white fog...

He had been tricked!

After being completely surrounded once more, Xu Gang realized that earlier, he had obviously been played.

...

"Earlier, he clearly didn't withdraw the Array. Perhaps he had guessed that I would make a move and deliberately kept a trick up his sleeve!"

Thinking like this, he pleaded bitterly, "This... this is all a misunderstanding, earlier I... I just wanted to get close to you! I..."

Before he could finish, he began to panic...

Because then, wisps of pure green vines quickly entwined around him...

Completely unable to react, he was thoroughly wrapped into a big zongzi...

After being wrapped into a zongzi, all his bellyful of pleas turned into incessant whimpering.

At this moment, Xu Gang felt extremely frustrated...

Previously, he had always prided himself on being clever, yet he was completely outsmarted by Hu Xiaobei...

Hearing the whimpering, Hu Xiaobei guessed what he wanted to express...

Regarding this, Hu Xiaobei didn't care at all because he knew this trash had absolutely no shame, and his words were just like farting...

Indeed, Hu Xiaobei had withdrawn the Array earlier...

But after he chose to court death, Hu Xiaobei laid out the Array again!

Typically, for an Array Master to set up an Array, it took a considerable amount of time!

Xu Gang was aware of this, so he directly exploded in fury; however, he miscalculated one thing—Hu Xiaobei was not a typical Array Master, but a Grandmaster connected with the Array instinctively, so his speed of arranging the Array was naturally swift to the extreme...

It was for this reason that Hu Xiaobei, upon noticing his murderous intent, instantly set up another Array and trapped him completely...

...

As Hu Xiaobei was preparing to utilize the Array to instantly kill him, he heard urgent footsteps.

Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes...

By then, Hu Xiaobei noticed that Xu Zheng and others who had left earlier had returned.

Hu Xiaobei figured they must have completed the distribution of the family supplies!

Of course, the portion that originally belonged to him was probably fully divided up by them...

"Every man for himself, and the Devil take the hindmost!"

As Hu Xiaobei felt this way, he heard Xu Zheng eagerly ask, "How's it going? We've been away for quite a while, did you find any clues?"

After Xu Zheng spoke, the others also stared intensively at Hu Xiaobei...

They all hoped to get some good news from Hu Xiaobei...

Moreover, this could serve as a proper explanation to the elder...

...

Listening to Xu Zheng's anxious inquiry, Hu Xiaobei glanced at him...

Just as he was about to say something, Hu Xiaobei heard that "ee-oo ee-oo" sound...

Hu Xiaobei knew that Xu Gang, who had been wrapped like a rice dumpling, had obviously heard their conversation and wanted to signal for them to rescue him...

"Such a vain hope!"

After mocking himself internally, Hu Xiaobei lightly snapped his fingers...

In that instant, the range of the Illusion Array began to insanely expand.

In a blink, the Illusion Array had enveloped Xu Zheng and others as well.

After being enveloped, they heard the "ee-oo ee-oo" sound again...

But this time, under the influence of the Illusion Array, the pitch of the sound rapidly changed...

Turning into the terrifying roar of a wild beast...

...

"Do you... did you guys hear anything?"

At that moment, one of them spoke up, slightly panic-stricken...

"I... I heard a horrifying sound; I thought it was just my illusion!"

"I... I heard it too, it should not be an illusion!"

"Me, too!"

Hearing these absolutely terrified replies, Hu Xiaobei knew that they were clearly completely affected by the Illusion Array he had set...

"It's time to add a bit of fuel to the fire!"

Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei pretended to be frightened and said, "Did you... did you hear it too? Earlier, I heard that absolutely terrifying sound, but I... I thought it was just an illusion!"

...

At the very heart of the Illusion Array, Xu Gang, wrapped up like a dumpling, heard Hu Xiaobei's panic-stricken voice and wanted to spit blood...

"Darn it, you're really good at pretending!"

Frustrated to the point of wanting to vomit blood, he desperately wanted to stand up and explain everything to everyone...

But he couldn't manage that at all, so he could only become increasingly agitated...

In his agitated state, he heard Xu Zheng speak up, "This can't be your illusion! Just now, so many of us heard it; how could it possibly be an illusion?"

"Exactly, it definitely can't be an illusion!"

"I think so, too."

As everyone responded, all looked alert...

Because they all did not want to become a wild beast's meal...

Seeing everyone trembling, Hu Xiaobei continued, "Since it isn't an illusion, then it must be real! That beast seems to be not far ahead, what shall we do? Shall we go and check it out?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's suggestion, everyone quickly furrowed their brows...

They didn't want to go and check because they felt it was better to avoid it during such a time...

Thinking this, they directly said, "Let's forget it, let's not go look!"

"Right, I agree!"

"Me, too!"

Better to mind one's own business!

They really didn't want to go look...

...

"Such cowards! It seems that the Xu Family, being trapped here for so many years, has indeed worn out all their spirit!"

Watching their fearful demeanor, Hu Xiaobei sneered...

Hu Xiaobei knew this was actually quite normal; having been confined here for so many years, they were indeed in a dire situation!

Regarding this, Hu Xiaobei didn't feel much sympathy for them because Hu Xiaobei thought they deserved it.

If it weren't for this trapped array, they would instantly turn into terrifying hungry wolves...

Thus, it was better for such people to remain trapped here!

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei indifferently said, "Are we really not going to check? Perhaps that sound has something to do with Xu Gang's disappearance. If we don't investigate thoroughly, when the elder really places the blame on us, then we will truly be in big trouble!"
