The rescued Beastmen collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, covered in mud, almost indistinguishable from mud men.
Luckily, there were Water Beastmen in the group, who quickly used water to clean them off.
Lu Xiao saw that everyone was out of danger and no longer held back, unleashing his full strength.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The rampaging Wind Ability lashed out like cannonballs, bombarding the mud pit, blasting open huge gaps, revealing a thick, long figure hidden beneath the muck.
It panicked, burrowing and darting through the mud, trying to flee.
This creature was incredibly fast at tunneling through earth and mud, almost vanishing in the blink of an eye.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy! Today I’m going to skin you alive and peel your nerves!" Xiao Jin slammed his palm onto the ground. Thunder surged forth, instantly spreading a Thunder Barrier, sealing off the area completely.
The creature collided with the electric field, letting out a shrill, miserable scream, black smoke spewing from its body!
At the same time, Lu Xiao condensed a Wind Blade, slicing off the tail it used to burrow underground.
Writhing in pain, it could no longer flee, and was thrown up out of the earth, landing and morphing into human form.
Xue Yinzhou grabbed the other Beastmen who tried to escape as well.
Turns out it was a group crime.
The group dragged them back for interrogation.
Unfortunately, these people were clearly severely trained—no matter what torture was used, they revealed nothing useful, even trying to commit suicide.
It seemed there was no choice but to use spiritual power to search their memories.
Shen Tang’s spiritual power was strong, but more suited for soothing, detection, and to a degree, attack. She wasn’t skilled at mind-scanning, and a tiny misstep could turn the target into a fool, cutting off all clues.
By contrast, Mermaids were much better at Charm, control, and mind-probing with spiritual power.
Shen Tang retrieved that little doll from her space, infused it with a hint of spiritual power, and called softly, "Ah Lan, are you there?"
Almost at the instant she called, the doll seemed to come alive, floating in mid-air, radiating a joyful aura.
God knows how much Jia Lan missed her during their days apart. But he had to stay in the Priest Temple and couldn’t come. Hearing her call now, he was overcome with joy.
Little Jia Lan, seeing all the people present, was too shy to ask if she missed him—he simply seated himself elegantly on her left shoulder, curling a lock of her hair, leaning close to her ear, and asked in a clear, gentle voice, "Tangtang, do you need my help?"
Shen Tang briefly explained the situation.
Little Jia Lan understood, flying in front of the frightened Beastmen, raising his little hand elegantly.
Mind-searching was child’s play for him now. Even though his true body was thousands of miles away in the deep sea, this sliver of spiritual power attached to the doll was more than enough.
Soon, Jia Lan finished the search; the Beastmen collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Little Jia Lan reported what he’d found to everyone: "These people were sent by Rosenia. Their aim is to destroy the Purification Trees you’ve worked so hard to plant."
Rosenia again?!
Damn thieves never quit!
