Rees didn't know when he broke free of the rope, and a sword step forward, grabbed Suo Lan Qingyin's shoulder with his left hand, and strangled her neck with his right hand.

"What did you do?" Groot froze when he saw Rhys as if he had been hit the head with a stick.

"It's nothing! it's just a plan!" Rhy controlled Suo Lan Qingyin to move a few steps to the side, making Suo Lan Qingyin a distance away from Zhifei Xianglan. At this time, the controlled lock Lan Qingyin lowered his head and did not move, just followed Ris to the side. "You guessed it!"

"You ......" Groot hesitated, his eyes bouncing back and forth like steel balls falling to the ground. Then he suddenly moved forward, and just as he took the first step, Duroc moved. His hands were so fast that if he hadn't stopped in time, Duroc's knife would have cut his throat. He could only stand there and look at Rhys, "You did it on purpose?"

"What do you want?" Duroc pressed his knife closer.

Groot couldn't help but take a step back, cold sweat running down his cheeks. He never imagined that this plan would fail like this, and he never imagined that the first mission he received would fail like this.

At this time, Zhifei Xianglan also moved her steps slightly and walked behind Duroc. That Groot just now didn't move to talk about running, but to control Xianglan again. However, all this has already been seen through by Rhys, and he also reminded Duroc with his eyes while holding Suo Lan Qingyin hostage.

Just when Zhifei Xianglan was three steps away from that Groot. Groot, who was forced by Duroc, actually moved, and his hand seemed to be able to stretch out.

His neck was rubbed by Duroc's blade, but Zhifei Xianglan was also strangled by him.

Duroc and Rhys didn't expect that Groot in front of them would ignore the knife on his neck and pull Zhifei Xianglan to his side.

At this time, Zhifei Xianglan was like a sparrow strangled in someone's hands, trembling and moving. She didn't want Duroc to worry about her anymore, but any mistake she made would always bring unexpected trouble.

"Let her go!" Duroc roared at the Groot, and the knife tightened.

However, when his knife pressed tighter, Duroc also saw Zhifei Xianglan's uncontrollable painful expression. That Groot seems to have no mercy on anyone, including himself.

"You put down your knife first!"

"You've probably forgotten! your partner is still in my hands!" Rhys tightened his arm around the neck of Lock Blue Qingyin. Suo Lan also followed Reis's tightened arm and stood on tiptoe moderately, in order to relieve a little pain. But it could only be lessened slightly, because her blue face and protruding eyes proved that she was in pain at the moment.

"Do you think she's going to be your bargaining chip!" Groot smirked, his entire face contorted. His otherwise delicate face became terrifying and eerie. "To tell you the truth, I don't know her at all. It's just that I saw it when I was on the joint a few days ago. ”

"You really don't care?" said Rhys, pulling his arm tighter to test the other's expression.

At this time, Suo Lan couldn't make any sound from his throat at all, but stared at that Groot with sudden eyes. Desperate for a little mercy from him.

He didn't feel the slightest move, but even slackened the hand that was holding Zhifei Xianglan.

So Zhifei Xianglan began to gasp for breath, and because she had been choked by her neck for too long, she suddenly loosened, and her whole face became red at this moment.

"You really don't care?" Rhys wanted to continue to test the other party.

"What do you say?"

Rhys didn't want to negotiate too much with him, so with a wave of his right hand, he struck Suo Lan Qingyin in the back and knocked her unconscious. Suo Lan Qingyin collapsed on the bloodstained ground.

"What should I do?" he began to smug, turning his gaze to Duroc to remove the sword from his neck.

Duroc understood what he meant, although he didn't know if the other party would hurt Zhifei Xianglan, but he had no choice.

"Rees!" he slowly tilted his head and looked at Rees, "You're really a troublesome opponent!"

Rhys chuckled helplessly: "I was still cured by you!"

Duroc makes eye contact with Zhifei Xianglan as he confronts Rhys. It roughly means to let Zhifei Xianglan relax, and she is thinking of a way. Zhifei Xianglan also stretched her brows, saying that she was fine.

"Then ...... then," Groot said, moving towards the edge of the stone platform, away from Locke and Rees. "Mr. Locke, it's time for you to do what you have to do!"

"What the hell are you trying to do!" Duroc still wanted to get a chance, he didn't want to do it. But if the other party really threatens Zhifei Xianglan, he is not sure if he will hurt others because of this.

"You don't have a choice!"

Duroc looked helplessly at Rhys, his gaze conveying a message for help. However, Rhys just nodded and told him what he thought.

"Good!" Duroc had no choice.

He walked up to the diamond-shaped stone platform and slowly walked to the Suolan patriarch. And when he approached himself, he found that the table top of this stone platform was carved with regular symmetrical notches, which seemed to be a formation.

"Just stick a sword in his chest!

"No! it's not easy!" Duroc didn't look at him, his eyes kept on the man in front of him, who was no longer capable of moving. Now he wants to kill him, a man who has no power. Duroc raised the knife above his head.

"Don't hesitate! Hurry!" Groot became agitated, he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, since he first received it three months ago. He has been laying out according to the above arrangement, waiting.

The moment finally opened, if he stabbed the knife in.........

Without any surprise, Duroc stabbed his knife into the chest of the Patriarch of Suolan, with deep guilt. Blood flowed out of the piercing wound and slowly covered the nicks that stretched to the edges.

And when Duroc tried to pull out the knife, he found that the knife seemed to be entangled in something, and it couldn't be pulled out at all. Then Duroc found that his hand was also entangled in the hilt of the knife, and he couldn't even get rid of it.

Duroc's arrival began to redden, a blood-like red. A closer look reveals that the red color seems to be filled with blood on the inside of the blade, and the regular and neat notches are intertwined with the notches on the diamond-shaped stone platform.

Seeing Duroc on the stone platform wanting to leave, but it seemed to be entangled in something. Rhys immediately yelled at that Groot, "What's the matter?"

"Hehehe........." The Groot seemed to laugh and laughed.

"What's going on?" Rhys repeated.

"You don't know yet, do you?" he said after about ten seconds of holding back a laugh, "What's the knife in your Duroc's hand?"

"There's something wrong with this knife?"

"Of course not the problem with the knife!" Groot continued, "Duroc, don't you want to know why I want you to kill him with your knife?

Duroc maintained a knife in both hands, and was now on the stone platform. His expression looked very uncomfortable.

And Duroc's eyes at this time stared at Zhifei Xianglan, who was controlled by Groot, and tried his best to show that he was not uncomfortable. However, of course, Zhifei Xianglan couldn't see it, she was very anxious, and she was more worried about Duroc at this time than herself. Because she was afraid that Duroc might be injured for herself, Zhifei Xianglan, who hadn't said anything since she first came in, suddenly raised her voice: "Locke, go quickly!"

"Impossible!" said Groot smirked sinisterly, "his soul has been bound, and it is impossible to leave that stone platform at the moment." ”

"That knife of yours is no ordinary knife! That knife is actually the key that you Terrans use to open something! And this thing is known as the most evil of holy weapons, the Terran Sacred Soul Eater Lock. ”

"Soul Eater?" Rhys shifted his gaze to the stone platform

"Of course you don't know the Soul Eater! because it only appeared once a thousand years ago. Six hundred years ago, when the Blue Family retreated, it was permanently sealed. After a complete blackout of information from the outside world, the artifact almost completely vanished. ”

"But how do you know that?" asked Duroc, with great difficulty

"You forgot? There should be half of the Suo Lan family here! And he is also the designated heir of the Suo Lan family. ”

"It's her!" Rhys glanced at Suo Lan Qing, who was lying on the ground at his feet.

"She's been in Suolan's house for twelve years!"

"You want the Soul Eater?" Rhys asked

"Of course, this is the fourth-ranked Deathly Hallows of the Terrans!"

"High-level Hallows?" Rhys was moved, he didn't expect that there was a high-level Hallows hidden in this border city all along.

"What will happen to Locke?" Rhys asked

"He, it's going to depend on his strength!" Groot began to retreat, away from the stone platform, "Something terrible will come out soon!"
