Volume 1 The School of the Law of War Chapter 38 The Insect Master
Luna collapses on the soft grass, and the blue flames vanish.
To everyone's surprise, the black bugs in the sky did not attack immediately, but stopped neatly in the air, waiting for further instructions, as if their enemy was not the person in the car, but just the ice flame that had just disappeared.
Lu Ming gathered the five cloud iron fragments and kept circling around the carriage, alerting the omnipresent enemies around, but judging from the results just now, it was obvious that it had little effect; Lin Peng half-squatted at the front of the carriage, and quietly sprinkled some unknown seeds in his hand into the ground, his eyes locked on the man in pitch black, since the defensive means just now did not play any role, he could only take out the things at the bottom of the box and hit a surprise effect.
Xiao Million immediately stepped forward to observe and determine Luna's state, and came to an astonishing conclusion, she was just ...... Angry ...... Just asleep. He told the news to his teammates, who were on high alert because of their sudden exposure to the air, and the two obviously hesitated, coupled with the fact that the enemy suddenly gave up the attack, upholding the principle that the enemy does not move and I do not move, and the two of them do not wait until what to do, and for a while, the atmosphere fell into a stalemate.
"Lu Ming, Yun Tie, Space Department, Lin Peng, Wood Department, Lu Na, Fire Department, Xiao Million, Priest. Lu Ming couldn't determine the source of the sound, after all, the man was surrounded in black from head to toe, and he couldn't tell whether he was talking at all, but he heard a low and hoarse voice reaching everyone's ears, and the buzzing sound of insects flapping their wings seemed to form a brief resonance.
"There is no denial, it's you. I can't speak, and the sound can only be transmitted by these bugs, please forgive me. The man moved, his gaze turned to Xiao Million, who was still checking Luna's condition, and seemed to nod his head slightly, "Also, thank you for saving my worm, I'm grateful." ”
It's clear that this is either a polite killer or someone of his own.
Several people looked at each other, not knowing how to act for a while. Lin Peng lightly hooked his fingers, and was surprised to find that they had no reaction, he could still sense the existence of the seeds, but unexpectedly found that the seeds were out of the soil environment necessary for survival, and the interference of the insect swarm made him ignore such a situation, and several insects buzzed up, and put the seeds that he had quietly sprinkled on the ground before, one by one, into his hands.
Lin Peng's brows furrowed even tighter, he couldn't see this man clearly, the black dress should just be a professional requirement or personal preference, and it could not simply judge the strength of the black robe, it should be more inclined to the existence of secret techniques such as special bloodline abilities.
"The seeds of the wooden soldiers are very precious, please collect them. I'm sorry to bother you, but my name is Li, I'm an insect master, I'm hired to protect you, and my employer wants his identity to be kept secret, so I have nothing to say. As for the attack just now, it was just because this girl's ice rebuke was blocking the communication between us, and I used some methods to make her fall asleep, and she would wake up soon. The man's voice is flat, and he can't hear the slightest emotional fluctuation, although he is not the kind of taciturn hero in the novel, but he only says what is necessary, explains the necessary situation, does not mix personal emotions, and does not judge right and wrong.
This is often even more terrifying.
"Well, excuse me, do you have any proof that you are here to protect me? after all, we can't believe that a random person appears in front of us, attacks us, and then says that he is here to protect us, it doesn't make sense, you are also a ...... Forehead...... Mercenaries, right? If it happened to you, you wouldn't believe it and kill them, would you? After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Luna's physical condition, Xiao Million obviously breathed a sigh of relief and began to solve the second problem,
As it turned out, Xiao Million was not suitable for solving the problem.
Listening to Xiao Million's words, Lu Ming and Lin Peng almost fainted, desperately squeezing their eyebrows at him and making gestures, and they almost went up to slap him. What do you mean, are you suggesting that the other side will kill them?
Lu Ming suddenly began to worry about Luna's physical condition, and maybe the psychological shadow would be a little more serious.
The man in black was silent for a moment, and nodded approvingly, "It makes sense, the employer also said that you will not agree easily, it is very in line with the reality, and the easiest way is to force you to accept protection." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally sunny weather suddenly became cloudy, the wind was fierce, and the straw on the carriage was blown in all directions by the wind. The black figure disappeared out of thin air, leaving only the corpse that had just been dragged out of the grass and fell to the ground, Lu Ming quickly drove the fragments of Yun Tie to rotate around the carriage at high speed, and the trajectory of Yun Tie left a blue-purple afterimage, briefly building a defensive circle; Lin Peng scattered the seeds on the ground again, and after a few seeds landed, they quickly turned into wooden soldiers, each with an unfathomable aura, forming an abstract formation between each other, constantly changing positions; Xiao Million set up a guardian magic, the milky white circle of light protected the unconscious Luna, closely watching the movements around him; the wooden villain took out two huge sugar cubes out of nowhere, also vigilant against the disappearing figure.
Time stops in an instant.
For a moment, Lu Ming thought that he was back in the principal's space, he could clearly see a fast-moving cloud iron fragment in front of his eyes, see a falling raindrop hovering in front of his eyes, he could feel the existence of various parts of his body, he could feel his crazy beating heart and rapid breathing, but he had no way to move.
Time system.
When time is solidified as a unit of measurement, spells that alter, distort, and imprison time are called temporal magic. The principle of time stop is to confine the operation of time, so as to achieve the purpose of limiting the action in space. To put it simply, it's not that someone restricts action, but that people's actions take time, just like they can only breathe once a second, which changes the prerequisites for things to work, and no matter how reasonable it is, it will eventually become unreasonable.
More unreasonable is yet to come.
The black figure attacked at a very unscientific speed in this static space, and several wooden soldiers seemed to sense the attack, and turned their bodies with difficulty to prepare to meet the enemy, but the spear in their hands was brutally pierced through the body by a huge force before it was raised, and even the trajectory of the broken sawdust flying was still in the air, and then Lu Ming's back sounded a clanging iron, and he couldn't turn back, but the cloud iron fragments in the induction disappeared one by one, until the piece in front of Lu Ming's eyes.
A huge black figure appeared out of thin air, and the high-speed moving figure smashed countless raindrops that were about to fall, and scattered water splashes covered Lu Ming's leisurely vision, forming a very artistic picture. The black shadow seemed to have cut off the connection between himself and Yun Tie, this was the first time this situation had occurred since he learned the metal spell, and Yun Tie no longer belonged to him, because in the next second, the black shadow sharpened the irregular Yun Tie into a sharp double-edged dagger shape and pressed it against Lu Ming's neck.
Everything returned to normal, a heavy rain poured down in an instant, and the whole world became a little blurry. It seemed that only a second had passed, but it felt like a century had passed, Lu Ming couldn't care about the dagger on his neck, and gasped for breath, as if he was suffocated, and the feeling of powerlessness was really terrible.
"I'm sorry to use such a means, it's my spatial ability, there will be some discomfort when I enter it for the first time, and I got used to it later. The employer hired me at a high price, and I needed to complete the task, but the time for the task was urgent, so I needed the shortest time to convince you, do you agree?"
Lu Ming found that the corpse that had fallen to the ground disappeared, but came back to life, with a cloud iron dagger in his hand, which was also against the necks of Xiao Million and Lin Peng, and what was even more strange was that there was still a trace of being cut on their own necks.
"What was that? They were supposed to die. Despite being in the midst of a torrential rain, Lu Ming felt that his throat was about to catch fire, and let out a hoarse sound.
"They don't matter if they live or die, they are my doppelgangers, and I can switch my consciousness whenever and wherever I want, or manipulate them directly, depending on the situation. Agreed?" The man in black didn't move, just answering his question, asking them to answer their own questions as well.
"Agreed. Lu Ming had no choice but to agree to his request.
With two plops in succession, two black figures fell, and the dagger in his hand fell on the carriage, and in just an instant, Lu Ming regained the connection with Yun Tie.
The man in black put away the dagger, presented it with both hands, and respectfully handed it to Lu Ming, "I just temporarily blocked the connection between you and the spell, just like I blocked Young Master Lin's seed, after all, Yun Tie, who recognizes the master, will not attack his master." By the way, I polished it for you as a gift, after all, you don't have the ability to change this level item yet. ”
The rainstorm came and went quickly, as if it was just a short moment, the bean-sized raindrops had already stopped, and a ray of sunlight shone through the dark clouds on the horizon, shining not far ahead, where there stood a boundary monument, they were about to leave the realm of the Academy of War in the real sense and go to the so-called Zhongzhou, the unknown new world.
The man in black walked to the front of the carriage and prepared to sneak away, but the black insect swarm that had just filled the sky seemed to disappear before the rainstorm came.
Luna woke up slowly, there was no dampness on her body, and Xiao Million's protective shield avoided all the raindrops. She stretched, feeling like she was in great shape, and she hadn't been so energetic since she crossed into this world. What made everyone even more incredible was that she knew everything that was happening here, and she spoke every detail clearly, and it felt like she was in a dream, in which she was a bystander, witnessing the battle.
The man in black drove slowly and leisurely in the direction of the boundary monument.
