With the signal she sent, many figures flew from outside the wall and landed in the courtyard one after another. Each of them was dressed in black and masked, and at the same time each of them was holding a person in his hand.

Shen Lu frowned and looked over, dumbfounded.

These people who were caught were his friends and students.

Baili Yiming, Qu Yinling, Ouyang Zhong, Bai Yulang, Yu Mo, Shen Cheng, Liu Muyun, and even Yu Rongfang, who is not too close to Shen Lu.

Each of them was tied up and gagged. Some are already unconscious, and even if they are conscious, they are all ashamed and helpless, because they know that they have been captured alive.

You don't need to ask to know that the eight people who captured the eight hostages are the remaining ten eagles.

As you can see from the previous events, one of the Ten Eagles was killed by Daedalus, so there are only nine people left. And these nine people are all here, except for the third child who was originally present.

The eight people first saluted in the direction of Xie Jinchai, and then threw the hostages on the ground one after another. Eight people were twisted and folded on top of each other, and it was really embarrassing.

The third child walked towards them at this time, and the eight people also shouted "third brother, third brother" and other titles, and the nine people gathered together happily.

Shen Lu's heart sank directly into the abyss, and he instantly felt that things had become tricky again.

What does this mean?

First, the opponent's hostages suddenly increased by eight, and the next battle will continue. And because Qu Jinling has already shown a certain amount of true kung fu, if he meets Qu Jinling next time, Xie Jinchai will definitely take action by himself.

The strength of the two of them cannot be distinguished now, but it is almost certain that the only person who can deal with Xie Jinchai is Qu Jinling. If Qu Jinling's mana was consumed too much, and she was even injured when dealing with others, then Shen Lu's side would have the only person who could contain Xie Jinchai.

In other words, from the beginning of this competition, Qu Jinling can no longer be allowed to play casually. Her role is to sit on Shen Lu's side and become the only insurance on Shen Lu's side.

Similarly, Xie Jinchai is the only one on Xie Jinchai's side who is qualified to deal with Qu Jinling. Otherwise, if Qu Jinling was allowed to act recklessly, Xie Jinchai's subordinates, including the new Ten Eagle Killer, would not be Qu Jinling's opponent.

The strongest on both sides can't play, so the rest of them have to play.

The seven slaves and four maids on Xie Jinchai's side are all about the strength of Dacheng Realm. And what about Shen Lu's side, there are only two people, Shen Lu and Xu Wenrui, and the two of them have also consumed a lot of mana because of the previous incident.

If it really continues, it will be very disadvantageous to Shen Lu's side.

I originally wanted to win all the hostages and leave, but now I ended up in such a tangled situation, and the situation is really bad.

Second, it was also the thing that made Shen Lu desperate the most.

Except for the one who died, the other nine people of the Ten Eagles all retreated, which means that the people of the Ancient Saint Academy and even the Ancient Saint Empire only knew that someone was making trouble in the Ancient Saint Academy, but they didn't know who the troublemaker was, and they didn't know who the person who was affected was.

In other words, before tonight, the reinforcements should not be able to find the extremely remote place of Tingyue Village. Everything that follows needs to be supported by Shen Lu, Xu Wenrui and Qu Jinling.

No wonder when Qu Jinling and Xie Jinchai confronted each other just now, Xie Jinchai suddenly smiled weirdly. It is estimated that they were already on standby outside the courtyard wall at that time, and then informed Xie Jinchai of the good news by means of mana to restrain their voices, so that Xie Jinchai would become so fearless.

Shen Lu really wanted to rush in front of the hostages and scold them severely. It stands to reason that each of them is not bad, so why was it all wiped out?

According to Shen Lu's assumption, although these people were attacked at the same time, some of them should be caught, and the other part should have enough strength to escape.

But after thinking about it carefully, Shen Lu gradually relieved.

Baili Yiming cultivates well, but he is kind-hearted and doesn't have so many eyes. It's normal to be sneak attacked.

Qu Yinling is very smart, even if she is sneak attacked, she should have the ability to fight back. But most of her own abilities are related to the priesthood, so in the case of a sneak attack, it shouldn't be too late to make any particularly effective counterattacks.

Needless to say, Ouyang Zhong was in a similar state to Shen Lu, and after tossing for a while yesterday, his body hadn't completely recovered.

It is normal for Bai Yulang, Yu Mo, and Liu Muyun to be arrested. Although they are very strong, they have all fought against Shen Lu during the day today. Although Yu Mo has some strokes, it should also consume a lot of mana. And Liu Muyun and Bai Yulang fought against Shen Lu with all their might, and the mana consumption can be imagined.

As for why Yu Rongfang was arrested, it was very unexpected for Shen Lu, maybe he just picked a few less powerful ones from his students and arrested them by the way.

What Shen Lu couldn't understand the most was why Shen Cheng was also arrested. In fact, Shen Cheng's strength is really very strong, and his ** physique is also very powerful, he should be the same as Qu Jinling, he has the ability to fight back.

When Shen Lu thought of this, a question suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Wait, something isn't right. Eight, nine, ten...... Why is there an extra person? That person obviously didn't get caught, so there should be one less person!"

These things that Shen Lu was thinking about in his mind, Xu Wenrui also heard them because his consciousness was connected to Shen Lu.

But what Shen Lu said was too awkward, and the way he thought about things was also very confusing, so Xu Wenrui was completely confused.

She couldn't help asking, "What's more, what's missing, what are you thinking?"

Shen Lu was looking at the pile of hostages at this time, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, so he didn't react to answer Xu Wenrui's question.

Now Shen Lu grasped a particularly incongruous point, which made everything in front of him seem very strange and unreal. But Shen Lu didn't figure out for a moment how this disharmony happened, why there was one more person, and why there was one less person.

Thinking of this, Shen Lu was suddenly shocked, and seemed to think of a particularly exaggerated, but particularly unreasonable explanation.

This explanation is very outrageous, but Shen Lu vaguely feels that this is the only possibility to explain the current incongruous situation.

Shen Lu withdrew his gaze from the pile of hostages, and finally stopped his gaze on the third child among the Ten Eagle Killers.

"If it's really the kind of possibility I guessed, then the flaw should be in this third child!"

Xu Wenrui didn't know what Shen Lu thought, but he also followed his gaze to the third child.

I saw that the third child at this time was surrounded by his brothers, and everyone hooked their shoulders and backs, and they seemed to have a very good relationship.

At this time, Xie Jinchai happened to come to the Ten Eagle Killer and said with a smile: "Everyone, thank you for your help." As for the brother you lost, I was so upset that I decided to double the reward. Although this money can't make up for the loss of your brother, it can be regarded as a small compensation within my ability. ”

The Ten Eagle Killers sighed one after another, and in the end, it was the third child who stepped forward.

It can be seen that the third child's pace has stumbled a little, and there are tears in his eyes, as if he is sad about the loss of his brother. Therefore, after he walked out, the two brothers next to him were still holding his arms one by one to ensure that he did not fall.

The third child wiped his tears and said to Xie Jinchai with tears: "Miss's heart, I naturally won't refuse, I thank Miss for my dead brother." In fact, being in the rivers and lakes, and doing this kind of business of inserting bids and selling heads, life and death are beyond the limit, I have long expected that there will be this day, and Miss doesn't have to take it too seriously, this is our brother's life. ”

Xie Jinchai has grown up since he was a child, and because of the living environment, he actually knows how to buy people's hearts. Because if she couldn't get some people to help her and protect herself when she was a child, she might have had an accident a long time ago.

Because of this, she can let these seven slaves and four maids follow her with all her heart. Just like now, although they lost one person, almost all of them completed their task and captured the man they were about to capture. In fact, Xie Jinchai didn't expect them to do it all, but now this unexpected good news really makes Xie Jinchai very happy.

Therefore, Xie Jinchai suddenly had such a good attitude towards them, the main reason was that he wanted to encircle them to fight for himself, and now he had just come to this ancient holy empire, and he was not familiar with life. Originally, this kind of land snake plus capable people were needed to work for themselves, and now as long as they are given enough benefits, they should be able to be easily entrapped.

But when he thought of this, a feeling that something was not quite right flashed in Xie Jinchai's mind.

"Wait a minute, what I arranged before was to arrest a few people......" Xie Jinchai recalled in his mind, then looked at the people on the other side of Shen Road, and then at the pile of hostages lying on the ground, and always felt that something was very strange.

Shen Lu had actually been staring at the third child just now, and after seeing the third child's behavior and way of speaking, he actually knew what was going on.

Seeing Xie Jinchai's appearance at this moment, she knew that she had also discovered the unreasonable point in this matter, so she immediately said loudly: "Xie Jinchai, do you have to be so decisive in doing things!"

When he spoke, he spoke in a very angry tone, looking impotent and furious.

When Xie Jinchai heard Shen Lu's tone, she felt indescribably comfortable and cheerful, so she immediately forgot the so-called incongruity, turned her head to Shen Lu and said, "What, do I still want to get along with you in love with each other? Don't talk nonsense, I, Xie Jinchai, am not a person who goes back on my word, will the duel continue? Do you dare to continue to fight hostages?"

Shen Lu was almost resting at this time, and the mana in his body had recovered by two or three percent, so he stood up and said, "Okay, let's continue!" ”

"Second uncle, take a rest for a while. Shen Qianhua suddenly stood up, came to Shen Lu's side, blocked Shen Lu behind him, and said, "I was accidentally caught, it's already a great shame." Second Uncle give me a chance to earn back my face. ”
