An Lin discovered that the black branches around his body were beginning to squirm as they glowed with a vibrant red light.
He looked around with an expression of despair. It didn't appear as if there was anything he could do. Was he really just going to be trapped here in Qi Lou City forever? He didn't want to accept this fate!
"Oh? We have some guests, Lü Cheng," the stocky old man suddenly said.
The tall old man nodded in response. "I'll capture them and use them as fertilizer."
His body disappeared as his voice trailed off.
An Lin and the others all felt a hint of renewed hope upon hearing this.
