These Familiars Are Strange

There were some of Tie Gang's men that didn't seem to believe that what happened to the ones that were ahead of them would happen to them.

They went to the same place as the ones that froze and were struck by the bolts of lightning.

It was just too bad that they were wrong about this.

As soon as they arrived in the same place, the same thing happened where there was a strange force that suddenly froze them.

They had no idea where this strange force was coming from, all they knew was that they weren't able to move a single muscle when that strange force bound them. It was as if they had suddenly fallen into ice and their entire bodies were frozen.

They weren't even able to make a single sound as they were struck by the same bolts of lightning.

The Thunder Deer didn't miss this chance at all as it shot its bolts of lightning right at these people that were frozen in place. 

Once the bolts of lightning hit them, they were turned into charred corpses just like the others.

They didn't get the chance to make a single sound since even their mouths were frozen.

All that happened was that they dropped to the ground with a thud.

Tie Gang had a look of fear appear in his eyes when he saw all of this.

His mind was racing as he tried to figure out a way to escape this place, but he just couldn't think of a single thing. After all, he had completely fallen into the trap of the other side and it didn't seem like there was anything that he could do.

It seemed like this would be the place that he died…

The only good thing was that his men were in a panic and they were all scattering in different directions. With them running like this, they attracted the attention of the Thunder Deer away from him.

So instead of paying attention to him, the Thunder Deer were attacking his men instead.

The other thing that he noticed was Xiang Chun.

She had followed them here and now she was panicking just like the rest, but she used a different strategy to try and survive.

Instead of running, she was trying to get others to become shields for her and protect her from the Thunder Deer.

Only they all ignored her since they couldn't care less about her at this point.

It was a bit of schadenfreude to see her being put in this situation, but he didn't let himself be distracted by this.

The most important thing now was trying to figure out a way to get out of this place.

After a long time of thinking, a bitter smile appeared on Tie Gang's face.

That was because he had finally thought of a way to survive, but it meant that he would have to put himself in danger to do it. However, it wasn't as if he would be able to survive in this place for much longer if he didn't do it.

After all, more and more of his men were being taken down.

Even Xiang Chun was already dead, turned into a charred corpse that didn't resemble her previous appearance at all.

All that beauty was useless now that she was dead.

Taking a deep breath, Tie Gang stepped forward and raised his voice to say, "I surrender! I'll become your dog as long as you spare me!"

There was silence that followed after he said this.

Even the Thunder Deer stopped attacking as it was caught off guard by the words that suddenly came from Tie Gang.

After coming back to its senses, it didn't attack Tie Gang right away since it thought that Tie Gang was playing a trick on it.

However, Tie Gang couldn't help feeling anxious since there was no response at all.

After a long silence, Tie Gang couldn't take it anymore and said, "I have experience and plenty of money that I can give you! I'll give you everything that belongs to me and serve you loyally! There's no better offer than this!"

Tie Gang was doing all that he could to convince Lin Fan to spare him, but the more that he said, the more despair that he felt.

That was because there was nothing happening at all.

It didn't seem like Lin Fan was willing to listen to him at all with how he was staying silent.

Tie Gang was feeling more and more desperate since the longer the silence, the more unlikely that he would be able to strike a deal.

At the same time…

The Thunder Deer hadn't done anything because it thought that Tie Gang was trying to trick it, but now it lost its patience. It reared its head and gathered electricity in its horns, preparing to fire off bolts of lightning again.

The few remaining members of Tie Gang's men immediately moved away when they saw this.

Tie Gang also didn't miss this, but he steeled himself and prepared to dodge out of the way.

He was preparing to take it head on because he wanted to show what he was capable of. He wanted to give a demonstration of just what value he would be able to bring to Lin Fan if he accepted him.

Only before he could dodge out of the way…

"Roar!"

With a roar, the Thunder Deer released this attack.

This bolt of lightning was much stronger than any that the Thunder Deer released before.

It seemed that it hadn't completely lost its patience.

The Thunder Deer was smart enough to use this powerful attack just in case Tie Gang was planning something.

Tie Gang gritted his teeth and prepared to dodge out of the way.

Only…

The lightning bolt pierced right into Tie Gang's chest.

He hadn't been able to move since there was the same strange power that froze him in place.

As he fell backward with the burnt hole in his chest, there was only regret in Tie Gang's eyes.

He should have listened to that bad feeling.
