The attack came to an end, and as the dust of battle dissipated, an enemy figure appeared on a section of the wall not far away, tall and delicate.

Ao Jiang sat under a tree and held Jingxin's hand, Jingxin wanted to stand up, but was pulled by him.

"Don't move," he whispered.

They were surrounded by soldiers who had been knocked to the ground, and it seemed that they had no strength to even glance at the enemy.

The man sat on the ground, clutching his right shoulder, which had just been hit hard, and his right arm could not be lifted at all. Sharon, who was lying next to him, struggled to reach for the sword at the man's feet, and the man kicked him with his foot.

"It's miserable." Sharon whispered.

"See where their people are, and then fight hard." The barbarian said.

"Listen, you wait." The figure in the dust of war spoke, the accent of the beast country was obvious, and the words were very strange, "There are only leaves to eat, why are you here?" Sympathy? ”

"Can you know who your Excellency is?" Sharon barely stood up with the scabbard propped up, smiling at his opponent.

"I have no intention of killing you, and you don't want to be troublesome."

"Burning Valley." It was Kagami's voice, and all eyes were drawn to her at once.

Jingxin stood up, his hand still being pulled by Ao Jiang, who was sitting, and looked at Ran Gu calmly, as if he was memorizing an exam question, "Marshal of the Lingshan Army, the commander of the Central Theater of Operations, is rumored to be the son of the fourth generation of Kuiba......"

"Kuiba still has a son......" There was a buzzing discussion in the group of coalition soldiers, and many people who were too lazy to move deliberately raised their eyes to look at Burning Valley.

Ran Gu's gaze has always been on Jingxin, "Admire, Your Excellency the Goddess," he bowed to Jingxin, "I came to pick up the car in the next special trip, can you enjoy the light to the Humble House?" ”

"Wait!" Sharon looked at Burning Valley, "What do you mean by forcing us to have to fight you in order to protect the goddess?" ”

As soon as Sharon's words fell, he was immediately knocked down by an accurate point pulse.

"Your Excellency," Ran Gu looked at Jingxin gently, "if you don't come, they will all die, and after that, you still have to come over." ”

"Clear thinking, okay, I'll go with you." Jingxin said, raising his legs and walking towards Ran Gu, but his hand was tightly held by Ao Jiang.

"Stop making a fuss." Ao Jiang was still sitting, half-bowing his head, as if thinking about something.

All eyes were on Ao Jiang.

"Actually, I'm the one you're waiting for."

Jingxin looked at Ao Jiang in surprise.

Ran Gu was also stunned.

Sharon, who was lying on the ground, was startled: "What? ”

The barbarian who had been pressing his right shoulder put down his raised hand: "Kuiba!"

They watched Ao Jiang get up and pull the mirror heart towards Ran Gu.

Ran Gu looked at Ao Jiang with a smile, and did not have too much intimacy: "I have been waiting for Your Excellency for a long time. ”

"How can Ao Jiang be Kuiba?" Lord Man looked at Sharon and was puzzled, "Ohura was killed by him." ”

"In order to protect the hostages, it is understandable that the focus of the attack should be."

The barbarian looked at Sharon in bewilderment: "Hostage? ”

"With a goddess by his side, the gods could not deliver a deadly attack on him. God is not allowed to hurt God. ”

"No wonder...... Hand in hand every day......"

"I should have thought of it." Sharon always likes to express his conceit with self-blame, as if he should have been a prophet in the first place.

"Are we just looking at it now?" Lord Man looked at Jingxin uneasily as he was pulled by Ao Jiang towards Kuiba's accomplice, and suddenly thought of Manji, who had always liked Jingxin, and subconsciously glanced at Qujing No. 1.

"What else? Mirror Heart has become a hostage, and it is even more difficult to act......"

"Wait! Kuiba! Manji impulsively broke free from the captain's tug, "Your opponent is ......"

"There's no way you can beat them now."

"Then you can't watch them take Mirror Heart away! Let me go! Manji and the captain who was pulling him desperately tore apart, "Aren't we going to destroy Quibal?" He's there now! ”

The captain used all her strength to deal with the beating of Manji and her, she already saw hope, as long as she carried it, it would not be a problem whether Manji was a Kuiba or not.

Ao Jiang pretended to be Kuiba and pulled Jingxin into the Kuiba camp, not to mention what Ao Jiang's own motives were, just by relying on the fact that Jingxin fell into the hands of the enemy, the war could basically be over.

The enemy has taken the Celestial God hostage, and the attack may injure the Celestial God, and it is impossible for the coalition forces and the Celestial God to fight as before.

Captain Yuanlang believes that the enemy's attack is aimed at capturing Mirror Heart, and that with this hostage, they will be safe for them and for the future Kuiba.

Ao Jiang's motive for doing this is uncertain, if it was just to protect Mirror Heart, he could have sent Mirror Heart back to the Heavenly Realm, or taken Mirror Heart away from here, instead of pulling her around the battlefield.

Does he want to use this to go deep into the enemy's interior and find out the situation, so that he can cooperate with the coalition forces? But does he know how difficult it is to protect the heart of the mirror on the enemy's territory? As long as the mirror heart is in the hands of the enemy, the enemy has already won.

Ao Jiang is supposed to be one of the Kuiba gang, he declares himself to be the Kuiba when the enemy threatens to kill, in order to avoid the embarrassment he will face once the killing begins, he does not want to kill the enemy in order to protect Jingxin, and he does not want Jingxin to see that he is in the same group as the enemy.

He wants to do more with Mirror Heart, so what does he want to do?

However, no matter what happened to Ao Jiang, the fact that Jingxin became a hostage of the enemy has made the war impossible to go on normally, as long as there is no longer fighting, there is almost no possibility of Manji revealing his identity, if she helps Manji master the method of transformation and can take the initiative to control it, then, Manji will be safe.

Therefore, Captain Yuanlang didn't want Manji to get involved at this time, no matter what.

"Let go of me, Captain, please, don't let me do anything to you......" Manyoshi had already begun to exert all his strength, because Kagami's figure was leaving him, and once it disappeared, it might never be seen again.

The door slammed open, and the captain pressed him to the bridge before he could send out his pulse. Then, something unexpected happened, and the struggling Manji's eyes shone with a burly light.

"Oh my God, his eyes lit up!" Xiuxiu shouted.

"Sail, Xiuxiu, full speed!"

Ao Jiang and Jingxin held hands and walked towards the depths of Vortex Island.

Far ahead, there was a figure with his back to them, and Ran Gu told them to follow the man.

Burning Valley had been standing on the same high place as he had appeared, cutting them off to prevent the Coalition from taking advantage of the opportunity to track them. Ao Jiang and Jingxin were already far away from him, and he was still standing there.

There should be someone else, just around. Kagami thought to herself, looked around, and when her afterglow inadvertently swept behind her, she suddenly found that the scenery behind her had completely changed, the figure standing in Burning Valley, the top of the building on the pier in the Misty Valley, the island opposite the pier, and so on were all gone at once, replaced by featureless woods and slopes.

Defensive Pulse Array! Kagami immediately made a judgment.

She knows that through the distortion and reorganization of the actual scene, such a pulse array allows the people inside to see the real outside, and the people outside cannot see the real inside, like an invisible wall, which completely separates the people inside and outside.

Even if they do a mark under their feet, it won't provide a trail clue for those outside. This means that Ao Jiang and Jingxin have entered a realm full of enemies, and it is almost impossible for them to go back.

At this moment, the Qingxuan Mirror that Jingxin carried on his wrist brightened, and Jingxin and Ao Jiang both saw it.

"It's really ...... Quibal," Jingxin whispered.

"Don't mention those two words." A very strong warning tone.

"Listen, if you're just doing this to save me, I'm afraid there's no point." Jingxin said calmly, "You're going to be exposed." ”

"The way you feel when you're talking to me now is that you don't think I'm a dangerous person at all."

"If you really are, I would do the same."

Jing Xin looked at Ao Jiang in confusion, knowing that this was the cultural difference between her and the creatures of the Earth Realm again.

She felt that from the moment Ao Jiang called himself Kuiba, she had deliberately treated him as Kuiba, thinking about how she should react if she was taken hostage by Kuiba, in order to cooperate with Ao Jiang's risky behavior.

How does it feel to speak? What does it feel like? How else can you feel when you're hijacked? What other than to pay attention to the environment, see the intentions of the opponent, and come up with a plan that is acceptable to both parties? Doesn't that feel right?

"You think I should be scared?" It suddenly occurred to Jingxin that the first reaction of the characters of the Realm when facing danger was irrational fear, as if fear was a solution to the problem, "Is this like?" ”

Ao Jiang also seemed to realize that it was difficult to make Jingxin naturally make the appearance of the earthly creatures easy to understand, and pretending to always be more dangerous than the like, so he felt that he should simplify things a little more, "Don't say anything, don't think about anything." Make your brain go blank. ”

Jingxin stopped talking, she believed that Ao Jiang must have an idea that it was inconvenient to explain, and now she could only fully cooperate. She has always had her own philosophy about cooperating with these notoriously irrational creatures of the realm: it is impossible for the low-sapient to keep up with the high-sapient ones, just as adults teach children to walk only behind, and if they want to cooperate, they must be accommodating to the low.

Speaking from her heart, she is already quite satisfied with Ao Jiang's thinking ability, at least she is one of the few people in the earth realm creatures who can talk to her, and he also showed his good combat awareness and super combat ability in the battle of Okura, which can undoubtedly be said to be quite outstanding among the earth creatures.

She believed that Ao Jiang's decision to pretend to be Kuiba was calculated, and she should be quite confident that she would not hit a stone with an egg.

What she feared was whether the mysterious teenager would overestimate herself or underestimate her opponent, something she couldn't predict because of her complete lack of understanding of his identity and motives.

There was a moment when Ao Jiang suddenly appeared in the wilderness in front of Okura's table and walked towards Okura, she saw the flame god tattoo on his body, thought he was of the Celestial race, and tentatively sent him a celestial greeting: "Whoever you are, you have a companion here, please know." ”

She uses the unique audio language of communication between gods, which is transmitted through ultra-high frequency coding, and is only a short, even inaudible overtone to the hearing of earthly creatures, like the call of a bat.

But this short voice is full of information, and it can be compared to what the earthly creatures can say in a "talking" way to finish dozens of words.

Ao Jiang seemed to feel it, and his gaze turned in her direction, but there was no response.

He is unlikely to be a god.

She tentatively said to him again, "Your tattoo is beautiful," in the Celestial language, and he didn't react as if he hadn't heard.

And where did the Celestial Tattoo on his body come from? According to the regulations of the celestial realm, if an unknown person is found wearing a celestial emblem, he must immediately notify the Lands Department for investigation.

If the wearer has nothing to do with the gods, not only should the tattoo be recovered, but it is also necessary to find out whether he was given the tattoo because he killed the god, and if there is no evidence that he is innocent, he will be put to death.

Later, she had spoken to him directly about this question, asking him in the language of earthbound creatures, "Do you know what race your tattoo is from?" ”

"You should know," he said, "of the gods." ”

"How did you get it?"

"I'll tell you later."

"Did you know that if the gods saw you wearing this tattoo, you would be in danger?"

"Yes." He affirmed.

This is the end of this topic. From the feeling of this conversation, Jingxin felt that Ao Jiang should not have killed the gods, otherwise he would not have said this.

He had been deliberately hiding his true identity without making any secret of his special attention to her, and she had been entangled by him from the first time he pulled her hand.

He was with her every day and never let her out of his sight.

"Why do you keep following me?"

"Protect you."

"What if I say I don't need it?"

"You always need to find Quibal, right? I can help you. ”

"I'm not used to physical contact," said Kagami, "and to the gods, it's embarrassing to touch each other." ”

"It's safe that way." "The danger you face is much more serious than you think," he said firmly. ”

"You're going to protect me like that?"

"Do your best."

Indeed, Kagami couldn't find a reason not to trust this terrasphere creature, and the time he rescued himself from Okura's death threat with a crucial blow was enough to convince her that his protection of herself was at least in a way that other terrabid creatures did not have.

However, for Kagami as a god, she has to think about it from another angle, and that is what "essentially" means.

Accepting such protection means that she is essentially his hostage, and her freedom becomes very incomplete, is there still value in accepting such protection? The most realistic inconvenience is that when he is followed closely, Jingxin almost loses the possibility of returning to the heavenly realm.

At least twice, she could only miss it when she saw the curved realm leading to the heavenly realm in front of her.

According to the gods, the entrance to the warp realm of the gods in the earthly realm is one of the top secrets, and the entrant must ensure that he will not be discovered by the creatures of the earth.

If you are not sure if there are any terrasphere creatures in the surrounding darkness that are likely to see you entering the warp realm, you should not approach the warp entrance to prevent the entrance from being discovered or noticed by the terrasphere creatures.

Jingxin even deliberately didn't let his eyes stay on the mark at the entrance of the warp realm for too long, so as not to be noticed by the unknown young man next to him.

Fortunately, Ao Jiang's blindness to the obvious warp mark made her feel gratified.

He is not a celestial god, and he doesn't know much about the celestial gods, and he has no threat to the safety of the warp realm, which is very good, but his freedom of action that directly affects his return to the celestial realm cannot be ignored.

Although she didn't need to go back to the Celestial Realm until she found Quibal's traces, if she needed to go back one day, would she be able to effectively get rid of him? How could she guarantee that this extraordinarily skilled Earth Realm boy wouldn't follow her all the time to see what was going on?

Mirror Heart begins to assume that he deliberately deprived her of her freedom of movement, and asks the question: What kind of terrastic creature would care about her, protect her, and follow her so much from the beginning as he did, under what purpose?

Of all the speculations, there is only one of the most dangerous possibilities, and that is that he was a follower of Quibal who tried to kidnap her as a hostage so that the gods would be careful when attacking them.

However, he killed Ikura, a follower of Quibal, and defused the situation by impersonating Quibal at a time when the coalition was facing total annihilation.

If he is a follower of Quibal, he does not have to impersonate Quibal.

So, what happens to him after impersonating Quibal? Take the opportunity to understand the strength and strongholds of the followers of Kuiba, so as to provide a reference for the future battle plan? Didn't he ever think that there was another possibility—the enemy wouldn't give him a chance to escape, let alone let the hostages of the gods who came to the door leave easily?

Could it be that this self-proclaimed clever guy has actually sent hostages to others, but he doesn't know it yet?

"I want to know your plans." While passing through an open wilderness, Kagami confirms that there are no enemies around her and asks her question.

"It's the same everywhere you wait for Quibal." He's really confident.

"I've actually become a hostage of the enemy, even if you keep holding my hand."

"As long as I hold your hand, you're just my hostage."
