Chapter 232: Chapter 234: Trapping the Turtle in the Jar (Part 1)

Fu Feng carried Su Luoluo on his back, circling around from the other side of the cliff and flying to Sheep Waist Valley.

On a small path in Sheep Waist Valley, Su Yang was already waiting with his men. Piled behind him were dried red smoked grass and giant rocks.

When Su Yang saw Su Luoluo arrive, he nodded. "The grass and stones are ready. Should we move them now?"

Su Luoluo nodded. "They’ve already started fighting."

"Then I’ll have my men move them up," Su Yang said, immediately turning around.

Mo Xuan looked at the large balls of grass and waved his hand. "No need for all that trouble. The few of us can carry them up."

With that, he grabbed a ball of grass in each hand and vanished.

Seeing this, Fu Feng also grabbed two large bundles of smoked grass with his talons and flew off.

Nantu saw the remaining two bundles, picked them up, and followed.

In an instant, the pile of smoked grass that had been sitting there disappeared.

Seeing them carry off the smoked grass, Su Yang quickly waved, about to tell the Werewolves behind him to move the rocks.

"As for these rocks, you few..."

Before he could finish, Xiao Ye walked over and hoisted a rock onto his shoulder. "I’ll do it. It’ll be faster."

The supplies they had spent days preparing were carried away just like that by her few Beastmen.

Su Yang stared, dumbfounded. "They have that much stamina?"

Su Luoluo was also a little shocked. ’No wonder their hip strength is so astonishing.’

’You have to admire that level of physical exertion.’

After speaking, Su Yang subconsciously glanced at Su Luoluo’s belly. He figured it must be holding quite a lot.

Su Luoluo noticed Su Yang’s gaze. Her face stiffened for a moment before she changed the subject, whispering, "Father, have you been paying attention to the matter I told you about?"

Hearing Su Luoluo get down to business, Su Yang’s expression turned serious. "I’ve had someone keeping an eye on Hong Shuang the whole time. I made sure she didn’t know when the supplies were brought over."

Aside from Luan Ting, Su Yang was the one Su Luoluo felt most at ease entrusting tasks to.

Basically, whatever she said, Su Yang would listen and wouldn’t question her further.

This father-daughter relationship made Su Luoluo trust Su Yang more.

Although she still didn’t know what Hong Shuang was doing in the Wolf Clan Tribe, Su Luoluo firmly believed her intuition: the woman was trouble.

After Mo Xuan and Xiao Ye carried the things away, Su Luoluo’s group, along with Su Yang and some Werewolves, followed them.

...

The Salt Well Cave was in an uproar, its occupants completely unaware that Su Luoluo had already arrived with her people.

"A trap? What trap? I, the Flower Jackal Lord, am the king of traps." Feng Huo scoffed at what Su Nuannuan said.

What was this talk about a trap? The only people here were from his tribe, and they were all perfectly fine.

’Su Luoluo?’

’Never heard of her. Sounds like a female’s name.’

’Females don’t even have superpowers. What’s there to be afraid of? What could she possibly do, turn the world upside down?’

Feng Huo ignored Su Nuannuan’s warnings. He dragged her toward the edge of the Salt Well with one hand. "What you need to do is tell me how to get the salt out."

Su Nuannuan shook her head, her tone almost pleading. "Really, we have to get out of here! Any later and we won’t be able to leave."

"I told you to purify the salt, so purify the salt! Why are you spouting so much nonsense!"

Su Nuannuan repeatedly said they needed to leave, and Feng Huo grew impatient. He shoved her head into the Salt Well and said viciously, "I’m telling you, if you don’t get the salt out for me today, don’t even think about getting out of here alive."

’This damned female knows how to purify salt but won’t tell them. She’s clearly up to no good. If she weren’t still useful, I would’ve dealt with her long ago.’

Hei Feng had just managed to get rid of the lumps on his face. When he walked in and saw Su Nuannuan being held down in the Salt Well by Feng Huo, he immediately struck with a Lingfeng Palm, then ran over to pull Su Nuannuan to him.

Seeing Hei Feng, Feng Huo’s eyes narrowed. "You’re courting death."

With that, he formed a Flame Ball in his hand and hurled it at Hei Feng. Hei Feng quickly hugged Su Nuannuan, took a step back, and swung a nearby rock at it.

BANG! The rock exploded into fragments in the flames.

Hei Feng was injured and slammed violently against the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Because Hei Feng didn’t let go in time, Su Nuannuan was thrown toward the fiery debris. Sparks splashed onto her, and her whole body caught fire.

"AH! My hair! My Beast Skin Skirt is on fire!"

Su Nuannuan screamed and began rolling on the ground.

"Nuannuan!" Hei Feng wanted to save her, but his Heart Vein was broken. He couldn’t walk at all and could only crawl toward her.

Feng Huo looked at the shameless pair before him with utter contempt. ’They wouldn’t listen to reason, and now they’ve ended up like this.’

If Su Nuannuan wasn’t still useful, he really wouldn’t want to save her at all.

He impatiently scooped a splash of saltwater from the Salt Well and threw it onto Su Nuannuan, finally extinguishing the flames on her body.

However, although the fire was out, her hair was scorched into a frizzy mess, not a single part of her body was unscathed, and her Beast Skin Skirt was half burnt away, revealing most of her rear.

Su Nuannuan huddled to the side in shame, sitting on the ground, too afraid to get up.

Meanwhile, Su Luoluo stood outside the cave, thoroughly amused by what she heard. A smile curved her eyes as she nodded at Xiao Ye. The next moment, a huge rock blocked the entrance to the Salt Well Cave. Mo Xuan then deftly placed the smoked grass at the opening and lit it with a torch.

Instantly, gray smoke rose into the air and was carried inside by the breeze.

"COUGH COUGH... COUGH..."

"What... what’s happening?"

"Where is this smoke coming from?"

"It’s no use! We can’t put out this fire! It’s not burning its way in, there’s only smoke!"

"Ah, my eyes!"

"My nose!"

"Oh no, the entrance is blocked! We can’t get out!"

For a moment, the cave was filled with constant coughing.

Feng Huo frowned and was about to grab Su Nuannuan when he suddenly let out a cough.

Su Nuannuan looked at the white smoke continuously pouring in, her face turning pale. "Cough, cough! I told you it was a trap, but you wouldn’t believe me."

"This is smoked grass! Someone is burning something outside! If you breathe in too much, you’ll suffocate and die!"

"I don’t care if it’s smoked grass or burning grass! Cough, cough! All of you, listen up! Charge the entrance!"

"Leader, we can’t charge! The entrance is blocked solid!"

"Useless! Move aside, I’ll do it."

Hearing this, Feng Huo walked to the front. He raised his palm, about to smash the boulder, when suddenly a round object fell from the sky, shooting right before his eyes.

His face instantly turned pale, and his limbs began to lose their strength.

"What is this thing? Cough, cough! How come I’ve lost all my strength?"

Holding a slingshot, Su Luoluo had flung a smoked grass ball right in Feng Huo’s face. Hearing his words, she laughed heartily. "Take one of my Enchanting Bullets! Feng Huo, you can just wait for death! This shot is my gift to you—revenge for our fallen Wolf Clan members."

Hearing a female’s voice, Feng Huo frowned. The next moment, he started begging for mercy. "My lady, we can talk about anything! If you want this Salt Well Cave, you can have it! Please, just spare our lives."

Afraid Su Luoluo wouldn’t agree, he licked his lips and added, "We have a female in here named Su Nuannuan. She knows how to make salt! If you burn us all to death, you’ll get the Salt Well but won’t know how to purify the salt. That would be a real shame."

Feng Huo quickly pushed Su Nuannuan forward.

Su Luoluo let out a cold sneer. "We don’t care about that. This Salt Well originally belonged to our Wolf Clan. You killed people from our tribe, so you must pay with your lives."

"Killed people from the Wolf Clan? I didn’t! I’ve never killed anyone from the Wolf Clan!"

Su Luoluo said coldly, "If not you, then who?"

"I know! It was Su Nuannuan! It was her Black Pig Tribe that did it!"

"When we came here that day, someone had already been in the Salt Well Cave! It was her! It must have been her doing! She’s the one who told us the location of this salt cave, too."

’It really was Su Nuannuan. She’s so ruthless.’

When Su Luoluo had told Su Yang that Su Nuannuan was behind it all, he had found it hard to believe. Now, hearing someone admit it with their own mouth, a storm of complicated emotions brewed within him.

He believed he had never denied Su Nuannuan a bite to eat or a stitch of clothing. Even though she wasn’t his biological daughter, he had treated her as his own, yet she had been so ruthless as to plot people’s deaths.

This was especially true for Su Zhao, who was following behind.

When Su Nuannuan had left before, he had even questioned Su Luoluo, calling her too heartless.

Now, it seemed he was the one who had been too foolish.

Seeing that she had been grabbed and was about to be handed over, Su Nuannuan shook her head frantically. "Hei Feng, save me!"
