Chapter 22: It's too late to save the driver
"Frozen at Zero!"
A terrible roar passed through that layer of invisible power and reached Liang Chen's ears.
The reluctance to this world and the unwillingness to own their fate were all stimulated by that roar.
Liang Chen came to his senses as if he had returned to the light, but his will had already been exhausted, and he only woke up for a moment before fainting again.
But in that moment of sobriety, he saw that Aslan seemed to be wrapped in an ice-blue halo, breaking through the power that had imprisoned him. It's just that Liang Chen has already run out of oil and the lamp has dried up, and he tried hard to squeeze out a smile, but there was no strength in his body to support his smile, and he tilted his head and fainted.
And here, Aslan burst out with all the power of the ice element, struggled to get rid of the power that imprisoned him, and then ignored the strong enemy behind him, quickly ran to Liang Chen's side, and used the remaining strength to block the invisible imprisonment wrapped around Liang Chen's body.
The confinement was lifted, and Liang Chen, like a corpse, fell softly into Aslan's arms.
"Well, I didn't expect you to hide a lot of power, underestimate you. Aslan's sudden burst of power surprised the mysterious man.
Aslan held Liang Chen, who was like a corpse in one hand, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the other.
"There's so much more you didn't expect. ”
"Hahaha, if I'm not mistaken, you suddenly attacked me at the beginning, trying to subdue me in an instant. It's just that the difference in strength is too big for you to get close to me, so you fake your death and prepare to attack me again while I'm not ready?"
"You are very smart, but the gap is a gap after all, and no matter how calculating the ants are, they can't help the elephant. Say, do you have any last words, and if you can, I'll do it for you. ”
Aslan helped Liang Chen, slowly laid him flat on the ground, and took a deep look at Liang Chen, who had passed out. Then he turned and stared straight at the mysterious man.
"Can you let him go?"
"Yes. The mysterious man was stunned for a moment, "My target is only you, it doesn't matter if that ordinary person is dead or alive, I hear you mean that you are ready to be captured?"
For Aslan's performance, the mysterious man was very surprised, he had been a killer for so many years, and it was the first time he had met such a well-behaved prey.
"Can you tell me, then, who sent you?" Aslan stared at the mysterious man tightly, his hands drooping. Obviously, he really gave up, the enemy was too strong, and there was no chance of victory.
"Yes. The mystery man thought for a moment and responded to Aslan's final request, "Actually, I don't know who hired me, I just accepted a bounty." Don't try to buy me off for more money in the hope of letting you go. It's useless, once this bounty is accepted, either the target dies or the hunter dies! I also have an unfulfilled wish, I can't die, so I can only grieve you. ”
I wanted to subdue the mysterious man with one blow, and then slowly ask him why he assassinated him as a victor. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was the winner who fulfilled his wish. Aslan smiled bitterly and couldn't help but recall his decades of life.
I don't know if my soul will be able to cross the space and return to the distant Granlot continent after I die. Or will the mysterious Ice Emperor Azriel be angry at the planet after learning of his death? There is also the Liang Chen who has always disliked him, I don't know if he will cry for himself, and his grandfather and parents in this world .......
Tears rolled down his face unconsciously, and Aslan stood there silently.
"Let's do it, remember your promise and let Liang Chen go. ”
"Well, I will satisfy you, you can go in peace. The mysterious man sighed, "Water ant devouring!"
An invisible force instantly surrounded Aslan, but when this force tried to get closer to Aslan, it was bounced away.
"Huh?!" Feeling that the power seemed to be blocked by something, the mysterious man was shocked, "What person?!"
"Hey, hey, hey!" A lewd laugh came from Aslan's side, and Aslan, who was silently waiting for death to come, was startled.
"Zhao Wuming?!"
"Hahaha, congratulations, you guessed right! The minister is late for help, please calm the anger. ”
With Zhao Wuming's obscene voice as always, an obscene figure slowly appeared beside Aslan.
"I didn't expect it, I've been following you two all the time, little girl. ”
"???" Aslan froze, and then kicked Zhao Wuming, "Why didn't you show up earlier! ”
Looking at Zhao Wuming, who was still obscene, Aslan was shocked and angry, and Zhao Wuming, a slut, had been watching himself and Liang Chen being beaten on the side.
"Oh, my eldest young master, oh no, it's the eldest lady, how can you improve your strength and actual combat experience without experiencing a few deaths?"
"You...... , Hmph!" Aslan, who was worried about Liang Chen, had no intention of arguing with him, and turned to lean over to take care of Liang Chen on the ground.
"Zhao Wuming?" the mysterious man was startled, he seemed to have heard of Zhao Wuming, "Hmph, the boiled duck flew, you are lucky!"
The space rippled like water ripples again, and the mysterious man was about to run away, but the next second he fell out again.
"Shall I let you go? Do you want to run away after beating someone? How can it be so cheap! God punishes the spear!"
Accompanied by Zhao Wuming's majestic voice, a spear condensed by the light element appeared in his hand, and with Zhao Wuming's casual throw, it flew straight towards the mysterious person.
The moment the spear of light flew towards him, the mysterious man hurriedly condensed a wall of water.
"The wall of water twists and turns!"
The spear of light, which had been shot straight into the abdomen, was slightly changed as it passed through the wall of water, and then stabbed the mysterious man in the thigh.
The mysterious man was in pain, withdrew the illusion, and then vanished.
"It's a shame I missed. Zhao Wuming scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Forget it, spare his life." ”
One blow missed, allowing the mysterious man to escape, Zhao Wuming felt a little embarrassed, but looking at Liang Chen, who had passed out, he gave up his intention to pursue.
"Let's go, send Liang Chen home first, I know where his home is. ”
Aslan looked at Liang Chen on the ground and was silent, he just wanted to send Liang Chen home as soon as possible in case of an accident.
In this way, the two of them carried the unconscious Liang Chen and walked to Liang Chen's house under the leadership of Zhao Wuming. Of course, the key was found from Liang Chen.
After putting Liang Chen on the bed, looking around at this small two-bedroom house, Aslan's nose was sour, and his heart felt a slight pain.
The house was small, and there was no furnishings in the whole house except the necessary furniture, as if it had been looted by thieves.
Suddenly, the bedside photo caught Aslan's attention. Aslan raised his hand to pick up the photo, looking at the photo, Liang Chen, who was hugged by a middle-aged man, looked happy. Aslan felt a faint pain in his heart, he knew that the middle-aged man should be Liang Chen's adoptive father. It's a pity that now only Liang Chen is left, struggling alone and helplessly in this world.
Turning around, Aslan looked at Liang Chen, who was unconscious, and leaned over and hugged him. However, Zhao Wuming, who happened to be seen by Zhao Wuming, who had come back from pouring water from the living room, stood at the door in a daze, as if he had been petrified.
"It's too late, and someone wants the overlord to bow ....... ”
Hearing this, Aslan, who was about to stop and get up, froze. Immediately, an enamel water cup was thrown over by the embarrassed and angry Aslan.
Zhao Wuming's dexterous dodge caught the water cup, then poured the water in his other hand into the water cup and took a sip.
"Well, yes, yes, the water temperature is just right!"
As soon as the words came out, Aslan showed signs of going berserk, and Zhao Wuming hurriedly put on a serious face.
"Alright, my eldest lady, I have something to do with you tonight. Cautiously glanced at Aslan, seeing that he was no longer angry, Zhao Wuming breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was going to call you, but as you know, my phone was broken, so I had to come to you, and then I happened to meet you being attacked. ”
After taking a sip of water, he continued.
"I heard that you have two days off this week, so I hope you two will come to me when the time comes, and I will introduce you to the other members. Moreover, there is another mission - to go to the mountains on the outskirts of the city and kill an ice lizard!"
Zhao Wuming walked to the bed and put the water cup on the bedside table.
"That's probably it, you can take care of Liang Chen here tonight, he will rest for one night tonight, and he will be fine tomorrow." Looking at Aslan, who wanted to speak again and again, Zhao Wuming added.
"Wait a minute, I'll go to your grandfather and help you make up a random reason to fool around. As for the killer, you don't have to worry, he has the elemental aura I left behind on him, and I can roughly sense where he is. And the elemental aura will last for a week or so, so you don't have to worry about it for now. After speaking, Zhao Wuming disappeared in a flash.
"Ice lizard?"
