Chapter 190: A Gamble That Affects the Fate of Mutants
How many times has Grant been to the Himalayas? Not counting the time-travelers, there have been four or five times before. yan()kuai, however, was the most special this time.
This time, he was given a "grand welcome".
Grabbing the body of the Ancient One, Grant experienced a period of oppressive chaos inside the portal, so he ran over when he saw a little light. As a result, as soon as he stepped out of the portal, he was greeted by more than thirty voices that were reading words—more than thirty old fellows in robes like the ancient one were staring at him; A few younger ones immediately rushed to the side of the portal and helped out the ancient one, who had coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
As the Ancient One walked outside the encirclement with the support of several people, the attack of the other magicians was ready. The next moment, more than thirty large fireballs from all directions flew towards Grant.
I don't know how the ancient one contacted the outside world during the teleportation process, so that Grant was ambushed by more than thirty magicians as soon as he came out. But it was probably too late, and it was obvious that His Excellency the Supreme Magician did not tell him all about it. When Grant put his arms together and let all the more than thirty fireballs disappear, he saw the expression of "stunned" on his old face.
The other party was stunned and stopped, of course Grant would not let go of this opportunity. As soon as his foot kicked into the ground and made a hole that was a foot long, he suddenly stepped more than ten meters away, and instantly came to the front of a magician. Before the magician could condense the energy shield, he grabbed the other man and threw him hard. Like a falling meteor, the magician slammed into a stone house in the distance at a speed comparable to that of a train, knocking it all down.
With the first, there is the second, and the third...... As long as time permits, Grant can turn all thirty people into meteors.
However, the old fellows have lived for so many years, and have been boring and boring magicians for so many years, and their minds are already quite firm. The shock lasted only a short time. I don't know which one took the lead—Grant didn't see any communication between them—and the next moment more than thirty of them rose into the air. Then he fell, re-stood, and re-placed Grant in the center of the encirclement. Then, they actually cast the same magic again. An energy that appeared to be extremely concentrated was released from the palms of their hands. The energies of the two adjacent people can also be seamlessly connected. Soon, this golden energy turned into a hemispherical net-like cover with a total of five layers inside and outside under the joint efforts of more than thirty people, covering Grant in the very center.
After trying it, Grant found that the energy was terrifyingly thick. Even his banishing ability, which was much more efficient than it was more than sixty years later, could not be completely eliminated in a short period of time. Seemingly. The magicians finally realized the gap between themselves and Grant, and turned to delaying the trick.
As for what to delay, the answer is obvious - outside the encirclement, the ancient one is sitting on a stone with his eyes closed. Outside the stone, the three people who supported him before took the ancient one as the center of the circle, and the so-called "three talents" of heaven, earth and man stood there at an angle of 120 degrees between the two and two, surrounding the ancient one. They stretched out their hands towards the Ancient One, and three pale green energies floated out of their bodies and flowed towards the Ancient One. If you pay close attention, it is not difficult to see that Gu Yi's originally extremely pale face is regaining its ruddy speed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Compared with. The color of the trio's exposed skin was getting darker and darker.
I didn't expect the magician to have such a trick! It's no wonder that the Ancient One was able to come to the door again so quickly after being beaten back last time.
Little by little, time passed. Although the tactics of the thirty or so magicians to delay the time worked well, Grant still completely penetrated the fifth floor of the "prison" after more than a minute. For this reason, half of the mages vomited blood and retreated—they were recoiled as they recharged the mesh cover. And the next moment when Grant walked out of the encirclement, the ancient one also stood up from the stone.
At this time, His Excellency the Supreme Magician's face was ruddy, and the luster of his skin far exceeded the level that he should have at that age, and it seemed that he had almost recovered.
Then the magicians probably received some instructions, and they helped each other and left very quickly. The whole place was left with Grant and Ancient One, and the two were facing each other.
"Thank you for your mercy. You're not a mutant. Gu Yi suddenly spoke, "You are not one of them. As far as I know, you showed up after I found them. Why stop me. ”
on this. Grant shrugged: "If you were asked to kill them, you would regret it in the future." ”
Grant is telling the truth, but the Ancient One at this stage obviously won't believe it. Grant didn't mean to go any further. In order to temporarily eliminate the differences, he proposed a proposal.
"So be it. Let's make a bet. ”
"What bet?"
"Let's have a fight. If you win, I won't stop you from hunting mutants. But if it's a tie or you lose, you can't get in trouble with the mutants. ”
Hearing such a clause, Gu Yi frowned.
"It's not a fair bet."
"If you don't want to draw, you won't intervene?"
Grant replied, but the ancient one shook his head: "That's not what I meant. There was someone with the ability to control the mind before, and I had a lot of magic that I couldn't release at all. At that time, I wasn't even half of what I was usual. Now there is no such person. I don't think you've made the right decision. ”
The implication of the ancient word is that Grant is too good to get a chance in a heads-up with him.
"Well, add a time limit to the terms." The corners of Grant's mouth raised, "If you can beat me in thirty minutes, I won't stop you from hunting mutants." And if I drag the time out of thirty minutes or simply defeat you, well, you can't trouble the mutants for less than ten years. What do you think? ”
"Are you sure?"
Gu looked Grant in the eye and asked in a serious tone. Grant smiled and nodded.
"Since you insist......" Gu Yi also nodded, "Although entrusting the future of mankind and the fate of mankind to a gambling contract seems a bit child's play. But...... Well, come back here in an hour, and we'll start again. ”
A bet that would affect the fate of mutants was decided in this way, and it was not absurd that there were no mutants involved. Meanwhile, on the mutant side, Charles, Eric to be exact, everyone is haunted by an atmosphere of depression and sadness.
"What do we do next?" (To be continued.) )
