Hu Niannian was perched on Tang Wen's shoulder, her eyes closed as she dozed for a moment.
After opening her eyes, she stretched languidly. "We've fallen behind. Hu Yun caught three of the black-robed men and is asking where we are."
'She caught three?'
'Doesn't that mean another three thousand-plus Experience Points?'
Tang Wen quickly said to the Stone Dragon underground, "Come on, pop out for a second and draw some Thunder."
Purple Thunder flashed—three long bursts, three short.
Tang Wen and the others waited a short while before a voice transmission came through: "We're here."
Two figures descended from the sky, using Instant Step.
As soon as Hu Yun appeared, purple Thunder followed close behind, only to be blocked by the Crocodile Turtle.
THUD!
Three black-robed men, shivering uncontrollably, were thrown to the ground, seemingly bound by invisible shackles of Thunder.
"Here. I left them alive."
"Good!"
