Turning the time back to 15 minutes, Jiang Ling had just walked towards the back of the Guanghe Palace with the palace maid.

"Why did this kill a person, I don't feel like I have finished any plot yet." Jiang Ling couldn't help but scratch his head a little, just now he heard the system's message reminder about the death of friendly players.

A battle with an unequal number of people and a total of eight people, Jiang Ling thought that if this battlefield was a battle between two forces, then there would be at most three people on his side, or even two. If it is a tripartite force, then there must be two people at most on his side, and even Jiang Ling is ready to fight alone.

However, the system does not tell the player how many people are on their side, but it will tell you if a teammate dies.

Jiang Ling heard the news of Jin Shihao's death, and he was very painful, because his side was likely to be left with him at this time. But now no key plots have been triggered, not even the prince has been seen, and none of the team's side quests have been completed, how can this be played?

"Grandma, my teammates must at least be in the top 300 in the standings, right? Dead so soon? Jiang Ling scolded in his heart.

The palace maid glanced at Jiang Ling and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Jiang Ling responded casually, he was still thinking about the direction of the whole plot, and he didn't pay much attention to the palace maid he met casually on the road.

But the next moment, Jiang Ling was puzzled, although he was a little depressed after hearing the system prompt, but his facial expression didn't show it, this palace maid could see that her mood had changed?

Jiang Ling glanced at her, thinking to himself, could it be that the attendants living in the harem have this ability to observe words and feelings? Jiang Ling asked casually, "Who are you serving?" ”

The palace maid hesitated for a moment and said, "Usually... I serve the Queen Mother. ”

"Oh." Jiang Lingsui replied casually.

He also secretly probed with his telekinesis again, this palace maid really has no ability to fluctuate, she doesn't look like a cultivator, and she doesn't look like a person from King Han or Dazai. And her appearance is not the same as the woman who flashed by in the battlefield preview, could it be that she is just a plot character who leads her way to the Imperial Garden? Jiang Ling thought so in his heart.

With the guidance of this palace maid, it didn't take too long, and Jiang Ling soon came to the location of the imperial garden.

At the entrance of the Imperial Garden, there was a man sitting.

The man was emaciated, dressed in a dark blue robe, holding a magic staff, and wearing a fist-sized, dark blue seal around his waist.

There is no doubt that this person is a Xuan Yin Lang, and the Eight Achievements are Li Zhiwan, who is mentioned in the side quest and guards the Imperial Garden.

Judging from the name, Jiang Ling also guessed that this person would be a woman, but he didn't expect her to be so young.

The woman had long shawl hair and a very delicate face, and she looked no more than twenty-five or sixteen years old.

The woman looked up at Jiang Ling, her face was expressionless, her eyes were cold, and she said indifferently: "You two, what are you doing here?" ”

"I'm here to report a matter on the orders of Lord Tingwei." Jiang Ling immediately replied, "Are you Li Zhiwan Master Li?" ”

Hearing this, the woman's eyes flashed with a different color, and then she sneered, "Why don't I remember that there is a master like you under Tingwei?" I don't remember that Captain Ting would know my name. ”

"Lord Tingwei is in charge of clearing the palace and attacking the East Palace today, so he naturally inquired about your name." Jiang Ling was still talking nonsense, and at the same time quietly made a gesture to the palace maid behind him, signaling her to stay away.

The palace maid was still surprised when she saw that there was someone guarding the gate of the imperial garden, but when she saw Jiang Ling waving her hand, she slowly stepped back.

Li Zhiwan naturally didn't easily believe Jiang Ling's words, and asked angrily, "Then what are you doing here?" What to inform? ”

"Let me tell you, the Imperial Garden doesn't have to be guarded." Jiang Ling hugged his fists and smiled slightly, and then suddenly secretly exerted his strength, and said indifferently: "Please go to death!" ”

Up to this point, there was no progress in the plot, and his teammates had hung up, and Jiang Ling was already a little anxious. After confirming that the other party is the current side quest, Jiang Ling doesn't care if she is a woman, and he doesn't care about anything above board, he just wants to kill her quickly.

In an instant, Jiang Ling summoned three rattan spears to stab at the other party, and at the same time, the telekinesis turned into a long sword and stabbed out directly, what he wanted was to surprise him by surprise and seize the opportunity.

Li Zhiwan was indeed angry and a little caught off guard, but she had already been mentally prepared when she saw Jiang Ling, and naturally she would not be defeated so easily.

I saw her knock her staff on the ground, and then the mana spread, and the ground around her rolled, and suddenly a solid wall of earth was erected in front of her, and three rattan spears were nailed to the earth wall as if they had hit a steel plate. Fortunately, the telekinetic sword was still a real hit, which made her face turn blue for a while.

Li Zhiwan shouted angrily: "Despicable villain! She struck the ground with her staff again, and the ground in front of her fluctuated even more violently, and the earthen wall disintegrated and merged into the earth, like a wave rolling towards Jiang Ling, and a moment later, a big hand made of sand and stone stretched out from the ground and slapped directly at Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling didn't dare to be careless, at this time, his rattan spear actually had a hardness and destructive power that was not inferior to metal, but it was still blocked by the other party with an earth wall, which showed that this person's mana was pure, and the condensed earth element was also solid enough.

Jiang Ling stepped on the vines and quickly retreated, and the slap the size of a truck tire slammed on the ground, slapping the ground with a slap print.

Jiang Ling was about to summon the rattan spear again, but who knew that this was not the end, after the huge sand stone palm slapped on the ground, it was not raised vertically, but the palm continued to press the ground, and it was actually about to raise the wrist partially.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Ling didn't quite understand what this palm was doing, so he simply used his spiritual power and pointed at Li Zhiwan from afar, wanting to send two more rattan spears.

The next moment, the sand stone palm supported the ground, exposing the shoulder, and then the head and the other half of the body.

"I'll go, mountain god." Jiang Ling was taken aback and had to move his attention back. The sand and stone in front of him had gathered into a three-meter-tall big guy, its waist was connected to the earth, its two arms were as thick as Jiang Ling's waist, and there was a head with blurred facial features on its shoulders.

"Delusional to kill me? Let's play with my sand golem first! Li Zhiwan snorted coldly.

I saw that the sand and stone puppet picked up a huge fist and smashed it directly at Jiang Ling. Jiang Ling stepped on the vines again, took half a step back, and he also opened his mouth to complain: "Just such a guy who doesn't even have legs, what to take..."

Before Jiang Ling finished speaking, the sand and stone puppet actually moved forward two steps away, although it had no legs, its waist blended with the earth, and the land in that place could be moved directly.

"Count you ruthless!" Jiang Ling cursed, dodging the heavy punch under the hammer of the sand and stone puppet again.

This big guy looks bulky, but in fact, his movement speed and attack speed are not slow, and it obviously has a good destructive power, Jiang Ling felt big for a while.

"No wonder she was sent to guard the imperial garden, with this big guy in the way, ordinary people really can't help it." Jiang Ling dodged the fists that the puppet kept smashing, and he had already taken a few steps back and came to the palace maid's side.

The palace maid asked with some trembling, "Shall we hide a little farther away?" ”

"Won't you go back again when you hide again?" Jiang Ling replied speechlessly, and then raised his hand to summon five thigh-thick vines, wrapping around the puppet's arms and neck from different angles.

This puppet was entangled and couldn't move for a while, but Li Zhiwan behind him sneered again: "Do you think this is okay?" ”

The next moment, the puppet's left arm, which was entwined by two vines, suddenly dissolved and disintegrated on its own, and then the puppet's left shoulder was in front of it... and quickly gave birth to a sand and stone arm, which directly swept Jiang Ling!

"Huh!?" Jiang Ling was also taken aback, and had to summon a mental qi barrier to block his side.

Boom!

The sand and stone slap hit the invisible mental qi barrier, a lot of sand and soil fell and fell, and the puppet's five fingers were suddenly cut off, but the mental qi barrier was also broken in the blink of an eye, and then the mutilated slap continued to crash into Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling didn't expect this mental qi barrier to be able to block this arm, he summoned a vine under his feet and sent himself into the air, and then Jiang Ling jumped directly onto the head of the sand and stone puppet, and once again stepped on it violently, and actually went straight to Li Zhiwan from mid-air.

Li Zhiwan saw Jiang Ling cross the puppet, shaking hands and falling from the sky, a trace of strange color flashed in his eyes, but there was no trace of panic.

She turned the staff in her hand, and the sand and stone puppet actually melted away like ice under the scorching sun in an instant, and at the same time, the sand and stone puppet behind Li Zhiwan quickly appeared from the earth.

The two huge slaps were like arches on Li Zhiwan's head.

"Spiritual double cultivation, physical skills are so good, you really impress me." Li Zhiwan raised her head and said, "But I'm an earth mage, as long as I am connected to the earth, I can't be my opponent." ”

Jiang Ling held the Sin-Cleansing Sword and fell, naturally landing on the palm of the sand and stone puppet, the invincible Sin-Cleansing Sword cut a cut in the solid palm, and the sand and stones flew away, but after all, it failed to penetrate it.

The next moment, the sand and stone puppet was holding Jiang Ling with the back of one hand, and the other hand was directly holding it at him.

Li Zhiwan said indifferently: "I won't let you die too quickly, unless you can tell me who instructed you to come?" ”

"I can make your death a little more painful." Jiang Ling saw that he was about to be grasped tightly by the sand and stone hand, but he snorted so coldly.

"Huh?" Li Zhiwan frowned slightly.

"You big guy, destructive, strong, and fused with the earth, can quickly regenerate limbs, can also move quickly, and even instantly transpose in a short period of time. But... The disadvantages are also obvious. Jiang Ling stood on the palm of the sand and stone puppet, looked at Li Zhiwan through the fingers of this big slap, and sneered: "First of all, it must be very mana-intensive, and secondly, it does not have the ability to fight on its own, you need to gather all your attention to control it." In the end, I guess, it doesn't have any sentient abilities, and it doesn't share its vision with you or anything. ”

There are many words in Jiang Ling's words that are very modern or used in some games, and Li Zhiwan naturally can't understand them.

But the next moment she finally noticed something.

Just now, the sand and stone puppet was between her and Jiang Ling, blocking her view.

And when Jiang Ling stepped on the puppet towards him and came from mid-air, her attention was naturally on Jiang Ling in mid-air. Then she had to concentrate on moving the sand golem behind her.

So she didn't see that there was already one more person in front of her.

The figure was illusory, the red robe on his body was glowing, and it could still be seen from his appearance that it was a suave son. He was holding a red guqin, smiling at himself, and then plucking the strings.
