The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1748: Chapter 1748: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

Edward Miller frowned and asked, ”We followed the scent here. What is emitting this smell? Can you tell us?”

The man’s expression on the right changed slightly: ”I cannot disclose that. Please leave.”

Carson Flores sized up their expressions and slowly spoke, ”Are you trying to capture the Demonic Beast emitting this scent?”

The man on the left said firmly, ”Please leave, otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude.”

Carson Flores and Edward Miller exchanged a look, both seeing the seriousness in each other’s eyes.

It seemed they really were here because of the Demonic Beast with the strong scent. Apparently, they also knew that the Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros liked eating pungent-smelling food, and they were preparing bait for hunting it!

Since Carson Flores could find this information in books, it’s normal for others to come well-prepared and knowledgeable.

”Alright!”

Carson Flores didn’t want to engage in conflict directly, especially without understanding the situation. Getting into a fight like that would be a loss, wouldn’t it?

Edward Miller frowned, about to say something, but saw Carson Flores give him a look. He didn’t speak further and followed Carson Flores as they turned to leave.

After walking a few hundred meters, Edward Miller transmitted his voice and asked, ”Why let them have it? This place isn’t theirs just because they say so, right?”

Carson Flores smiled and replied, ”Those two are clearly just sentries. If there’s a conflict, stronger ones will surely come. It’s unnecessary. We can just circle around them, right?”

Edward Miller glanced at Carson Flores and chuckled, ”I thought you were really planning to leave.”

Carson Flores replied with a grin, ”We’re all here for the Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros. No matter what they’re up to, since it’s shrouded in mystery, we must investigate. How could we just leave!”

The two circled about a mile, and Carson Flores raised his hand, Overlaid the Death Imprint, placing one on himself and Edward Miller.

Their presence instantly vanished, like lifeless stones hidden in the fog.

With the fog naturally blocking Divine Sense, and their presence gone, who would know where they were?

Edward Miller asked in surprise, ”Your method is quite mysterious.”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Just a small trick. My strength isn’t great, so I’m adept at hiding and escaping.”

Prompted by Carson Flores, they stealthily moved through the wilderness without using Sea of Consciousness Spiritual Power, heading back toward the lake.

Soon, they reached the lake’s edge, where the pungent smell was overwhelming, making one want to gag.

The lake wasn’t calm, with ripples showing something big moving beneath.

”Is the formation ready?”

”Ready!”

”Then force it onto land. Once in the formation, the poison we’ve set will quickly kill it. We’ll use its corpse to lure the Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros. Once it eats this creature, the poison will enter its body, and then we’ll handle it however we want!”

”Then I’ll make a move!”

”Alright!”

The conversation drifted through the air, but no one could be seen, and from the sound, the distance wasn’t far.

Carson Flores and Edward Miller exchanged glances but didn’t move.

The opposing party clearly knew the Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros liked densely pungent food and prepared poisoned bait to directly take it down!

The Five Poisons Hall truly excelled in using poison, planning to deal with both the water-dwelling Demonic Beast and the Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros using toxins.

”Boom!”

A fierce strike suddenly erupted in the lake, transforming into a storm of Spiritual Energy that swept in all directions.

The mist flowed quickly, giving Carson Flores visibility.

On the lake’s surface, the waves shook violently as a giant Demonic Beast emerged, its huge mouth gaping like a black hole, firing high-speed water projectiles at the attacker.

Carson Flores studied the beast in the water, and after getting a good look, his expression turned curious.

The creature looked like a frog?

”That’s the Mysterious Water Frog, its power roughly equals that of a Golden Immortal, specializing in water projectile attacks. The water is mixed with its secretions and has strong dissolving power, and its water projectiles are extremely powerful,” came Edward Miller’s voice in Carson Flores’s mind. Carson Flores replied, ”Let’s watch and see.”

The Mysterious Water Frog, despite being a mere frog, had formidable projectile power as Edward Miller mentioned.

The aerial attacker had barely struck when a water projectile hit him. Fortunately, he was prepared, conjuring a protective shield.

The water projectile struck the shield, breaking through the Spiritual Aura Barrier and denting the shield’s surface before splashing into a large liquid pool covering the shield.

The metal defense shield began to visibly melt, and in an instant, its formation crumbled entirely, reducing the defensive shield to scrap.

The attacker was startled and fled toward the shore.

Enraged by the attack, the Mysterious Water Frog leaped out of the lake, landing on the shore to chase the attacker.

The attacker intentionally led the frog, quickly drawing it into a pre-arranged trap.

”Rise the formation!”

With a shout, blinding light suddenly burst from the ground, forming a cage with several golden beams, tightly confining the frog, preventing its escape.

Simultaneously, countless eerie green lights appeared outside the golden light, directly covering the Mysterious Water Frog, which began to struggle violently, emitting a pitiful scream.
