Chapter 680 - 680 Lingering Fear

680 Lingering Fear

“This is too scary. Where is this place?” Xu Han asked with a look of fear.

When Liu Yan heard this, he told the five of them about the situation. There were no special man-eating flowers here, so they were safe for the time being.

Knowing they were safe for the time being, Xu Han, Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the other four were relieved.

At this moment, the five of them broke out in a cold sweat. Thinking back to what they had just experienced, they felt a wave of fear.

“Those special man-eating flowers were too terrifying. We couldn’t defend against them. We couldn’t even use our strength before we were hit.” Ye Yifan couldn’t help but sigh.

“Yup. There’s nothing we can do,” Hans Wilson said. “We have all the power but can’t fight back.”

Luo Wei roughly understood a little and said, “Our power is physical or elemental energy. It has nothing to do with spirit energy. Our spirit energy is not good enough, so we fell for it.”

“Now that you mention it, it’s true. I was trapped in an illusion again,” Xu Han said with a look of fear. “I knew I was in an illusion, but I couldn’t control my body or mind. I couldn’t do anything. I wanted to wake up, but I couldn’t.”

Allen Smith nodded and analyzed, “It’s probably because our spirit energy is too weak that it’s useless even if we realize that we’re in an illusion. We can’t break free at all.”

Liu Yan had known about the existence of spirit energy before but had never encountered a creature good at spirit energy attacks.

He only met one on the fifth level of the Tower, and it was the leader of the third wave of elite monsters. He successfully killed it with his powerful spirit energy and the SS-grade godly skill, Soul Snatching.

Afterward, Liu Yan did not encounter other creatures good at spirit energy attacks.

However, he did not expect to encounter this special man-eating flower in this forest.

The special man-eating flower had a strong spirit energy attack, and even Liu Yan was hit by it.

Liu Yan had to take precautions and use powerful spirit energy to avoid the illusion.

However, every time he faced the special pollen, Liu Yan had to defend himself, spending time and spirit energy. It was difficult to deal with.

After encountering these special man-eating flowers, Liu Yan and the others learned a lesson.

It was especially true for Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the other three. They were all top players in Team Origin and were very powerful.

Among the members of Team Origin, only Liu Yan was stronger than them. Other than Liu Yan, the five of them were the strongest.

Team Origin had the most outstanding student of the year from the five continents of the Blue Planet.

The fact that the five of them stood out among the others showed that they were extraordinary and extremely powerful.

As for Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the other four, who had terrifying combat strength, they could not fight back when faced with the special man-eating flowers. They fell into the man-eating flowers’ illusion.

If Liu Yan hadn’t cooperated with Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf and brought the five of them out, they might have been killed.

It was a pity that they could not fight back even though they were strong.

This experience once again made Liu Yan realize the importance of spirit energy.

They had to focus on improving their spirit energy. Even if they were not proficient at it, they needed to have the ability to defend.

Otherwise, they would not be able to use their other powers. No matter how strong their physical body was or how much spirit energy they had.

“It seems like the five of you have neglected your spirit energy. You’ll have to put in more effort to improve it in the future.” Liu Yan looked at Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the other three.

Allen Smith nodded and said, “This is indeed my weakness. I’ve neglected it before, but I’ll pay more attention to it.”

Ye Yifan also nodded. “I did overlook it before. I’ve learned my lesson this time.”

Hans Wilson nodded and said, “I’ve never suffered such a big loss before. We were captured without any resistance. If this matter gets out, we’ll be so embarrassed.”

“I’ll work hard to improve my spirit energy in the future.” Xu Han said with determination.

“We’ll have to pay more attention to this in the future,” Luo Wei added.

The experience this time had undoubtedly taught the five of them a lesson. They had a deep impression of it, and they decided to improve their spirit energy in the future. They had to spend more time and effort on this aspect so that they could not fail like this again.

Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the others knew very well that if it weren’t for Liu Yan, they would have all died here.

In the future, they would not have Liu Yan’s help every time. Hence, they had to improve their spirit energy and possess the ability to resist spirit energy attacks.

At the same time, Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the other four people looked at Liu Yan with gratitude.

“Captain, I’m grateful to you this time.” Ye Yifan said in a stern tone.

Hans Wilson looked at Liu Yan gratefully and said, “Yeah, it’s all thanks to Captain Liu this time. Otherwise, we’d all be gone.”

“Thank you, Captain,” Luo Wei said.

“Liu Yan, you’re the key to this.”

“Thank you!”

Even Xu Han and Allen Smith, who were close to Liu Yan, were grateful to him.

Although it was a simple sentence, the five of them looked at Liu Yan with sincerity in their eyes. They were grateful to Liu Yan from the bottom of their hearts.

Faced with the gratitude of the five of them, Liu Yan merely smiled and said, “It’s okay. We’re all on the same team. We’re just helping each other.”

As Liu Yan spoke, he saw Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf’s angry face.

Liu Yan suddenly remembered that the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf had played a crucial role in saving Allen Smith and Hans Wilson.

Without Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf, Allen Smith, and the others would not escape. Even Liu Yan would have to spend a lot of effort to escape.

After all, Liu Yan could only hold his breath to avoid the special pollen and the illusion.

However, Liu Yan couldn’t hold his breath forever.

After his strength had increased, he could hold his breath much longer than ordinary people.

However, Liu Yan estimated that with his current physical strength, he would only be able to hold his breath for half an hour at most.

This time, Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf played a crucial role.

At this thought, Liu Yan pointed at Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf and smiled at the five of them, “You should thank Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf. It was it that brought the five of you and me out. Without it, it would have taken me a lot of effort to get out, let alone save the five of you.”
