Chapter 449 The Insect Wrapped in a Cocoon

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue deflated like a punctured balloon, becoming listless.

Although she was unwilling, she understood that what Meros said was true. For the sake of so many innocent lives in this city, she had no choice but to compromise and obey his arrangements.

Then, Meros slowly walked to a spot about one meter away from the insect.

He stopped in his tracks, his gaze falling on the insect, a cold glint in his eyes.

Then, Meros reached out and took out a large white net that shimmered with a faint light from his own space.

This large net looks ordinary, but it is actually very fine, like the kind of net specifically designed to catch small fish.

If you use such a net to catch fish, the fishermen would probably curse you as an act that would bring about the extinction of your lineage.

Without hesitation, Meros cast the net at the insect, his movements swift and precise.

The large net, like outstretched wings, quickly covered the insect.

The moment the net touched the insect, it seemed to come alive, rapidly contracting itself and tightly adhering to the insect's body, forming a perfect envelope, something resembling a cocoon.

The web contracted at an astonishing speed. Even when the insect awoke from its suspended animation, it was completely unable to escape its grasp.

Not only that, even the insect's long tail was tightly entangled in the net, rendering it completely unable to move.

He tugged on the rope of the net in his hand and felt that the net was under great tension, confirming that the insect was completely trapped.

Meros nodded in satisfaction as he saw that the thing had completely controlled the insect.

"Heh heh—I, I never thought you would actually go to such lengths for these useless humans."

Just then, a faint voice suddenly rang out at Meros's feet.

His voice carried a hint of surprise and bewilderment, as if he were quite taken aback by Meros's actions.

Although his mouth was taped shut and his eyes were blindfolded, it was clear that his ears were always perked up, keeping a close eye on Meros's movements.

It's unclear when he rubbed off the tape sealing his mouth, which is why he was able to suddenly speak.

Phib was tightly bound and lying face up on the cold ground, his eyes fixed on Meros standing beside him.

The tie that Meros had used to block Phoebe's view had somehow slipped off and was now lying next to Phoebe's head.

The tape that Li Si had used to seal his mouth had somehow flown off at one corner, revealing Fei Bo's ambiguous, half-smiling lips.

Philip simply stared at Meros, his face devoid of fear, instead filled with mockery and disdain.

That smile seemed to mock Meros for going to such lengths for humanity.

"you shut up!"

Meros looked down and caught a glimpse of Phib's repulsive smile, and couldn't help but mutter a rebuke.

His brow furrowed, and he stomped hard on the thin chest beneath his feet. He showed no mercy, stomping down with tremendous force.

"puff--"

With a muffled thud, Fei Bo suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood, like a blooming blood flower, blossomed in the air before splattering onto Feifei's thin face and the ground.

"Cough cough cough..."

Because Fei Bo was lying on his back, most of the blood was trapped in his mouth, causing him to cough involuntarily.

This series of sounds also caught Lin Xiyue's attention.

She was originally standing behind Meros, but when she heard the noise, she quickly peeked out to see what had happened.

"Heh heh... Woman, what special magic do you possess?"

Despite the sharp pain in his chest, Fei Bo spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground, the crimson color standing out starkly against his pale lips.

His eyes, which were originally as deep as the ocean, were now like those of an enraged beast, staring intently at Lin Xiyue, his face full of utter bewilderment.

"Huh? Magic? Me? I don't have any."

Lin Xiyue was startled by his sudden question. Somewhat bewildered, she pointed to herself and asked in confusion.

"Of course it's you. Are there any other women here besides you?"

Seeing this, Fei Bo snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

His gaze lingered on Lin Xiyue, as if trying to find some clues in her.

Lin Xiyue looked around under his gaze, having already grasped the meaning behind Fei Bo's words, but she didn't intend to go along with him.

"Oh, I know they aren't, but as for you—I'm not so sure."

A sly smile played on her lips as she spoke slowly to Philip.

After saying that, she deliberately made a mocking face at Philip.

The current Fei Bo is not the same person he was when he was in his bakery. He is now a prisoner, while Lin Xiyue has completely gained the upper hand.

What goes around comes around, and now it's my turn!

Lin Xiyue felt secretly pleased with herself, and at the same time, she was also a little proud of her quick thinking just now.

"you!!!"

When Fei Bo saw the funny face Lin Xiyue made, his anger was instantly ignited. He felt extremely insulted, and his face turned extremely ugly.

Meanwhile, after successfully catching the insect, Meros threw it into his own space without hesitation.

He also overheard Lin Xiyue and Fei Bo's conversation.

"Don't talk to him. You're too naive. You'll be easily fooled."

Melos interrupted their conversation without any politeness and spoke to Lin Xiyue in a gentle tone.

Before he could finish speaking, Moros quickly reached out and grabbed Lin Xiyue, pulling her forcefully back to stand behind him.

In this way, he completely blocked the view between Fei Bo and Lin Xiyue, thus cutting off any possibility of them continuing to communicate.

"Oh fine."

Although Lin Xiyue was somewhat reluctant, she still obediently agreed.

"But you can't call me stupid. I just don't understand the strange and unusual characteristics of your race."

However, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Moros certainly heard Lin Xiyue's complaints, but he simply didn't have time to comfort her. He only glanced at her briefly, his eyes conveying a hint of reassurance.

Immediately afterwards, Meros crouched down and stared intently at Philip, as if trying to discern something from him.

"You, what are you doing?!"

Fibo looked at Meros with some surprise and uncertainty.

Meros's sharp, hawk-like gaze seemed to pierce through his soul, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"What exactly did you do? Logically speaking, you should have already been ostracized."

Meros spoke just as Phoebe was about to lose his temper.

He simply couldn't understand why Philip was still standing there unharmed.
