Chapter 137: The Captain Must Be Fine!_3
Lin Su was well aware of what this skill did, having read about it before.
It controlled souls, completely dominating other people or beasts, rendering them unable to resist!
The person controlled by the Enchanting ability retained their self-awareness, but couldn't disobey any command from the user of the skill, thus ensuring absolute obedience.
Han Wang's aim was to control himself!
Then, to reintegrate himself back into the alliance.
Using his own hands, he would fulfill his, or rather the Beast Taming Sect's, certain objectives!
No wonder Han Wang wanted to silence Xing Yun's team, as they were witnesses to everything. They had seen Han Wang taking himself away, which would definitely raise suspicions should he return to the alliance under such circumstances, perhaps even leading the alliance to discover he was under control!
But with all witnesses dead, with no one aware, he would simply appear as a survivor of an attack by the Beast Taming Sect, with no one the wiser about the details, making it easier to fabricate a convincing backstory!
Impossible!
He couldn't just wait for death!
Lin Su's eyes glinted sharply.
If it was merely a confinement, then he could travel to the Martial World while sleeping, using this advantage that no one would expect, to seek a way to counterattack — this was the escape plan he had come up with beforehand.
But if he was controlled by the Enchanting ability…
He wasn't sure if the Enchanting would lift once he traveled to the Martial World.
Plus, Han Wang would certainly find out his biggest secret from him while he was enchanted!
He mustn't let this happen!
"Hmph…"
A muffled groan woke Lin Su.
He abruptly lifted his head and looked at Han Wang, who, once again, had blood-red eyes and uncontrollably bled tears from the corners of his eyes as he clutched his head in agony. Lin Su paused in shock for a moment.
Then he seemed to realize something sharply and quickly turned his head towards the direction where everyone was fleeing!
…
"Zhao Tianchen, stop pulling me! I can walk on my own!" Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes were bloodshot, his expression tense and worried, "Lin Su absolutely mustn't be in trouble!"

"He won't be," Zhao Tianchen said in a low voice, his eyes also reddening, "The captain's strength far surpasses any of us. We have to believe in him! Right now, the most important thing is to find someone to rescue him!"
Having spent so much time with Lin Su in the squad, this young man had matured from initially being resistant to now fully respectful and obedient.
They hastened their pace until they rounded a small hill, with the border frontline now clearly in sight.
"Go!" Zhao Tianchen's eyes suddenly lit up with hope.
The expressions of the other squad members were virtually the same.
As long as they made it back to the range of the border frontline, they could figure out a way to alert the stronger members of the humans to rescue Lin Su!
But at that moment, a terrifying force field instantly enveloped everyone.
It seemed as if in an instant, the world went from being noisy to absolutely silent.
They were excited, but their expressions froze under the horrific force field, unable to even turn their heads to see who was catching up from behind.
Yet, they already knew the answer in their hearts.
It was the Emperor Force Field.
And the only one known to them capable of unleashing the Emperor Force Field was the Eight-Armed Rock Demon!
Was it the members of the Beast Taming Sect, sent to hunt them down…
With the border frontline so close, a sense of despair surged in everyone's hearts.
They were so close…
Feeling the horrific pressure that suddenly descended from all directions, as if it were about to crush them alive, everyone's breath hitched, the look of despair growing in their eyes.
However, the next moment, the oppressive force that had bound them suddenly vanished.
The silent world dissipated, and faintly, they began to hear the sounds of battle cries from the border frontline again.
And, a thunderous roar.
They hurriedly looked back and saw a figure appear in the sky; with just one slash, he split the Eight-Armed Rock Demon in two. Their eyes simultaneously lit up with exhilaration.
The reinforcements had arrived!
After killing the rock demon, the blood-soaked figure quickly descended, having undoubtedly experienced numerous battles before, "I am sent for the rescue from the command center. Are you the encircled operational squad from the reserve camp? That pack of beasts mobilized a lot of monarch-level, holding us up. Luckily, I wasn't too late."
His gaze swept over everyone, pausing briefly on the unconscious Xing Yun, and after confirming the number of the reserve camp members, his expression tensed slightly, "A operational squad should have ten people, right? Who are we missing?"
"Officer, please save our captain!" After a brief moment of bewilderment, Zhang Xiaoyu quickly recovered, his eyes suddenly bursting with hope, "He was captured by people from the Beast Taming Sect while trying to save us?"
"Captured?" The man furrowed his brow, "Not killed, but captured alive?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Tianchen also snapped back to reality, "Officer, you can still catch up if you go now!"
"This…" The man's expression hardened slightly, "My orders were to rescue the operational squad of the reserve camp. The other combat personnel have not yet broken through. If I go to save that one person, what will happen to you? That's not acceptable!"
"Please go quickly, sir, I beg you!" Han Yu cried, her voice breaking, "The beast that was after us has been killed, we aren't in danger, but if you don't go to save our captain now, it might be too late!"
"This…" The man glanced at the others, seeing they all felt the same, he gritted his teeth, "Alright! Then you continue in this direction; you should soon meet our people. I'll go ahead and save your captain. Which way did the people from the Beast Taming Sect take him?"
"That way!" The squad quickly directed him.
"Be very careful!" the man said earnestly, his figure soaring into the sky, heading in the direction indicated by the squad.
Watching the man's figure disappear into the sky, the group finally exhaled.
If that officer had arrived even a second later, they might have been corpses by now.
This was truly a narrow escape from death.
"Let's go!" Zhao Tianchen's expression relaxed slightly, "Earlier when that bastard from the Beast Taming Sect summoned his third beast, I noticed that he possesses a sixth-order Beast Taming Space, so now he's down to his last beast. That officer's strength was enough to easily defeat the beast just now; he can definitely kill him and bring back our captain!"
"Yes!" Everyone nodded in unison, carrying the still unconscious Xing Yun, quickly heading towards the frontline.
The captain definitely won't be in any trouble!
