Book Title: Mountain and Sea Lantern Chapter 884: Closing the Net Deep within the sea of sand, Wu Jinliang, who was scouting ahead, saw Ah San stop and look around. He immediately fawned over him with an eager, ingratiating expression and asked, "Is there an opening here?" By "opening," he meant a gap they could slip through.
Those people from Shanbu, under the direction of Yu Yifu, had begun quietly setting up a formation to surround them. If it had been anyone else, they would likely have fallen for this "quiet" trick. But Wu Jinliang had Ah San assisting him at his side.
To save time, Wu Jinliang wanted to go look for the next mineral vein. He couldn’t wait until the current vein was completely mined before searching for another. As a result, the power unfolding from the formation did not escape Ah San’s eyes, including the unusual colors in the area caused by the deployed poisons.
Ah San could not identify exactly what it was, but when he described what he’d seen, Wu Jinliang, with his suspicious nature, guessed the gist of it. Now, their aimless searching was entirely about finding a gap to escape through. Huang Yingying, who was following alongside, looked at Ah San with an expression of absolute astonishment.
