Chapter 181: Hostages

"Julia, you and Suniel should go back, we'll be fine here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Gibran said softly, his eyes staring straight ahead, Mantejou was already less than two miles away from them, they had to react appropriately, however, Julia and Seniel's expressions were a little inappropriate, especially Julia, the corners of her eyebrows were full of unconcealed grief and indignation, which could not hide Mantejou's observation at all.

Julia remained silent, did not nod or shake her head, and Suniel slowly took her hand: "Let's go, let's go to Raphael, he must have a way!"

Julia was unwilling to leave like this, she was even more reluctant to entrust the safety of her relatives to anyone, but Shanil's words moved her, these days, the mysterious and powerful Eight Doors Lock Heaven Array left a very deep impression on her, as one of the eight array courages, she has more or less mastered some secrets, and the more secrets she masters, the bigger Han Jin's figure in her eyes will be, what kind of strong person can set up such a magic array against the sky?!

Julia has seen the power of magic arrays, but those magic arrays are dead, but this magic array has its own life! What's more, as a magister, Arlina often talks about Han Jin in a respectful and confused tone, and the magic array that provides them with great convenience, in this regard, Yalina is the most vocal person, even she will be confused, puzzled, and even in awe, do you need other proof?

Julia nodded, and followed Suniel straight to the top of the mountain, Gibran breathed a sigh of relief, if Julia insisted on not leaving, he had no way at all, then the situation would definitely fall into a worse situation with Mantejou's vigilance.

Gibran's gaze fell on Kane: "Kane, you go and call Hayden and Charles out." ”

Hayden and Charles are both members of the Red Spear, that is, those two warriors, I don't know why, maybe it was a subconscious warning, Han Jin didn't let them become the stars of the array, although they could move freely in the Eight Gates Locked Sky Array, they didn't know the secrets of the circle at all. Gibran and Kane didn't tell them clearly, because they were afraid that Han Jin would find out and cause unnecessary trouble, and they were also afraid that the two companions who were a little hot-tempered would cause trouble.

In fact, Gibran and the others had similar feelings to Julia and Arlina, the more secrets they knew, and the longer they spent in the Eight Doors Locked Heaven Array, the more they were in awe of Han Jin, even though they didn't know that after becoming a Formation, Han Jin could wipe them out at any time!

"What are you looking for them, they shouldn't be able to help us, can they?" Kane hesitated.

"I just wanted it to feel natural. Gibran said slowly, "Also, you tell Julia that she won't show up until Mantejou pushes Edwina out, after that...... She can do whatever she wants, and I don't interfere. ”

"Understood. Kane nodded, and turned to walk towards the camp.

"It's our turn. Gibran sighed lightly.

Standing on the back of the Abyssal Serpent, Mantejou whispered something to Eva as he glanced around, and he vaguely sensed that there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at him, but this was normal, if those people hadn't discovered themselves by now, something would be wrong.

The massive body of the Abyssal Serpent stopped abruptly, a low roar came out of its mouth, a pair of fierce eyes condescendingly looked at the roadblocker, and the round, blood-red third eye on its forehead slowly opened.

"Gibran, is that you?" said Mantejou, lazily.

"Why, don't you know me?" Gibran's reaction was cold by comparison.

"Hehe, I know Gibran, who likes to hide in the shadows, and now this Gibran is standing here in the open...... It's really strange. Mantejou smiled: "Do you have something?"

"Between us, there's no point in talking this kind of nonsense!" Gibran said, "Manteqiu, it seems that you still haven't given up?!"

As if sensing Gibran's rude attitude, the roar of the Abyssal Serpent became louder and louder, but Gibran stood there fearlessly, imposing. The Demon God Curse Eye of the Abyss Serpent is terrifying, but it depends on people, if it is a seventh- or eighth-order professional, the evil curse is almost certain to hit, but against a tenth-order or top-level professional, the chance of the evil curse failure will become very large, as strong as Arina, she simply ignores the curse released by the Abyss Serpent, unless her magic and spiritual power have been exhausted, she felt nervous at the time, just because she was worried that her companion would be harmed.

"Brother, be quiet. Mantejou said with a smile, the Abyss Serpent obediently stopped roaring, and Mantejou pondered for a moment: "Gibran, let's put these things aside for now, I have a question, I hope you can give me a clear answer." ”

"If you have something to say, just say it. Gibran said coldly: "As for whether to give you an answer or not, it depends on my mood." ”

"What is the purpose of you helping them? is it to swallow those three dragon crystals alone, or ......" Manteqiu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he sighed, "It seems that I don't need to ask." ”

Aline, Kane, Hayden and Charles all appeared in front of them, and the ultimate goal was to walk alone with a few members of the Red Spearhead, and it was already clear that the final goal was to walk alone with a few members of the Red Spearhead.

"Manteqiu, take your people back, I can not blame the past, and we will still be friends in the future. Gibran said almost exactly the same thing as what others said to him that day, and Edvina fell into the hands of the other party, obviously making him unconfident, but he added at the end: "If you continue to be obsessed, then don't blame us for being rude." ”

"You've defeated quite a few mercenaries these days, and the strength you've shown is truly astonishing, but it's not enough to make me hold back. A sneer appeared at the corner of Manteqiu's mouth: "Finally, I have one more question, you really don't want those three dragon crystals?"

"There are some things that are far more important than dragon crystals. Gibran replied coldly.

For example...... Friendship?" Mantejou laughed, "Just right, Lord Gibran, let me test whether you can remain loyal to friendship!"

Before the laughter fell, Mantejou bent down, grabbed a person's hair, and picked the person up so stiffly, and there was a bit of smugness in his laughter: "Let me introduce you to a beautiful elf, a tenth-order ranger, Miss Edwina of the Red Spearhead......! Why are your eyes so wide?"

Gibran, Kane, and Arlina all showed shocked expressions at the same time, as did Hayden and Charles, and Hayden, whose surname was even more impatient, involuntarily rushed over.

Gibran stretched out his arm, blocked Hayden, and said word by word: "Manteqiu, you dare to touch our red spearheads?!"

"Move?" Mantejou narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about the meaning of the character, and then twisted hard, twisting Edvena's head around, and then carefully touching Edvena's face with his fingers: "I moved again, how?"

"What the fuck are ......," Hayden couldn't help but scold.

"Shut up!" Gibran shouted, taking a deep breath and looking at Manteqiu coldly.

"Not satisfied?" Mantejou scratched his head, then showed a look of sudden realization, he pressed Edvenna's upper body down, grabbed Edvenna's back armor, and then hit Edvenna's ass twice with his crotch, and asked with a grin, "You want me to move like this?"

The mercenaries of the abyss all let out a burst of laughter, this is a very insulting action, Hayden exploded at that time, he roared angrily, picked up his long sword and was about to rush forward, at this moment, a hoarse scream suddenly came from the forest: "Manteqiu, I will kill you!!"

Julia looked like a mad tiger, rushed out of the forest, and when she saw her sister being insulted, she had forgotten Han Jin's words, and even forgot her own specialty, and even wanted to go over and fight with Mante Jou, Seniel hugged her behind her back, although Seniel was almost half a head taller than Juilliard, but she didn't know where Julia got the strength, so she dragged Seniel straight forward.

"Calm the for me!" Gibran roared, his roar stunned several members of the Red Spearhead, and then a faint breeze blew past them, clearing their minds for some reason.

"Mantejou, what do you want?" Gibran's voice trembled slightly, of course, he was not afraid, but angry.

"Let's get it clear. Mantejou let go of his hand, and he was very happy, and everything had gone beyond his expectations, "Miss Julia killed quite a few of us last time, so I think I have a reason to do anything to this beautiful Miss Edvena......!" I also understand that Miss Edwina is my negotiating capital, and the better Miss Edwina is, the more abundant my capital will be, rest assured, she has not been harmed in any way so far, Gibran, I am talking about it until now, you should understand what I mean, right?"

"Say, what the hell do you want!"

"I don't want to do anything, the point is what you want, Gibran, the time has come to test you. Mantejou grinned and said, "It's easy, kill that woman, give me her magic staff, and I'll give you an intact Edwina." ”

Gibran's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word, but Hayden and Charles looked thoughtful.

Mantejou looked at Gibran for a long time and closed his mouth.

Using Edwin to blackmail the red spearhead, this is an excellent way, if more than twenty days ago, Mantejou would definitely get a very satisfactory harvest, in Gibran's heart, the rest of the people and Edvenna's safety are negligible, even Julia, will be in a dilemma, if Gibran promises not to hurt Senil, she will most likely choose to compromise. It's a pity that time has passed now, and the talisman that Han Jin has entered into their bodies, and the feeling in the magic circle, these have carved a deep imprint in their hearts, just like they can't ignore Edwina, they can't have the idea of attacking Han Jin.

"My patience is limited. Mantejou said softly, because he was the first to notice the movement of Hayden and Charles, so he deliberately opened his mouth to motivate him.

"What are you going to do?" said Gibran coldly.

Hayden's figure froze, "Captain, do you really not want to care about Edwina?"

"For Edwina's sake, do whatever he tells you to do, and what if he asks you to kill me next?"

"No...... No, it won't. ”

"You think Mantejou is a trustworthy person??"

"Oops...... When it comes to credit, I don't seem to be that good. Manteqiu still grinned: "But do you have any other choice?"

Gibran was silent, and he could only be silent.

Mantejou looked at this with interest, and then at that, he had already expected that with Gibran's ruthless surname, there was at most a fifty percent chance of making Gibran compromise, and now it was at an impasse, which was normal, so he had already arranged a backhand, Edvina was not only his negotiating capital, but also the bait for him to carry out the booby-trap!

Hundreds of mercenaries formed a large encirclement, surrounding Gibran and the others, and his cronies were ready, the magician retreated to the periphery, the thieves released stealth, several elite archers gathered together, raised their longbows, and a few warriors, quietly formed a hexagonal array more than ten meters to the right side of the abyssal snake, ready to besiege the people who broke in.

Eva kept smiling, but her hand behind her back had already grabbed a magic scroll, according to Mantejou's plan, once the conflict broke out, she would strike first to attract the attention of the Magister opposite, the archers and thieves were responsible for sniping Kane and Julia, and Mantejou would give the other party a chance to bring in Gibran, Hayden, and Charles, and he would also personally intervene and besiege the three with the warriors. He doesn't ask for everything to succeed, if he can kill two people, they will have the absolute upper hand!

"I'm sleepy......" Mantejou yawned, "you still haven't made up your mind?"

Gibran was still silent, Hayden was really anxious, and he glanced at Charles from time to time.

"Gibran, to tell you the truth, my children have been clamoring for a taste of the elves, and since you are not cooperative, then you don't blame me. Mantejou smiled darkly, "See, children, come one by one, don't kill this beautiful young lady!" With that, he grabbed Edwina by the hair and threw Edwina out.

Gibran has always been forbearing, but he is just waiting for a suitable opportunity, and he will give it to Gibran now!

Edwina's body arced in midair, and it fell into the hexagonal array formed by the warriors with great accuracy.

The surrounding mercenaries couldn't help but let out cheers, thinking that their wish could really be fulfilled. The Abyss Mercenary Squad is a strange combination of mercenaries, the real elite is only a few dozen people, but the number of mercenaries below is surprisingly large, at most it even exceeds five hundred, far beyond the scope of the mercenary squad, but after a while, the number of mercenaries will drop sharply, less than a hundred, because Manteqiu never cares about those ordinary mercenaries, he generously accepts defectors, just to select good seedlings with cultivation value from them, as for those who are useless, they can only become cannon fodder in the end.

The muscles in the corners of Gibran's eyes twitched involuntarily, he sensed the poison in Manteqiu's eyes, but he had no other choice, Edvina was out of Manteqiu's control, this was the only chance!

Gibran's figure suddenly activated, rushing forward quickly, and at the same time forcibly activated stealth, Hayden and Charles couldn't care about the idea of hitting Arlena, and shot out left and right.

At this moment, Han Jin at the top of the mountain suddenly opened his eyes, his left hand was clenched into a fist, and he released it suddenly, and his right hand quickly pinched the magic technique: "The Dharma body outside the body, the light is divided into shadows...... Go!"

A cloud of light from nowhere hit Edvenna, and with a thunderous explosion, countless streamers splashed in all directions, each streamer turned into an Edvena, falling like raindrops, and each Edvena was real, smashing the mercenaries below to the ground.

In an instant, within a radius of several hundred meters, Edvina was full of them, their postures were different, some were lying on their backs, some were prone, some were lying on their sides, some were curled, but their hair, their clothes, and the ropes tied to their bodies were all exactly the same.

Just in the hexagonal formation composed of a few warriors, there were more than twenty Edvina, this unimaginable scene, so that all the mercenaries became dumbfounded, Manteqiu just said that one by one took turns to play, and now one person can't play ten!

Hurricanes were blowing, and the first to be stripped of their clothes was not Edwina, but an endless sea of forests, flying leaves and broken branches even obscured the sky, and a few thieves who were stealthy close to Kane screamed and showed their tracks, and the leaves, such a light and thin thing, hit them as if they had been hit by someone's heavy punch, and the pain was unbearable! And those messy branches were sharper than daggers, easily piercing through their leather armor and piercing deep into their bodies.

Immediately after, the abyssal snake let out a deafening roar, and its body suddenly became more bloated, and countless leaves were pasted on it, and its neck, which was as thick as a bucket, also swelled several times, and it was covered with leaves, not to mention releasing the curse, it couldn't see anything at all, and could only shake its head and neck desperately, trying to shake off those leaves.

Although the Eight Doors Lock Heaven Array is not a killing array, it also has changes in attack and defense, in the past, it was because of the help of Yalina and others, Han Jin didn't need to do anything more, but now, it was time for the Eight Door Lock Heaven Array to exert its might!

The hurricane is blowing more and more rapidly, and the flying layers of leaves and broken branches block people's vision, block the light, and even make people feel like walking at night, they can see about a meter at most, and they can't see anything further away.

One mercenary after another was wrapped in leaves, and finally turned into a rolling green sphere, and then was blown into the sky by a hurricane, after flying dozens of meters high, it would fall sharply, and the moment it was close to the ground, the dense layers of branches and leaves were all integrated into the wind, and the people in the green ball fell heavily on the ground, fell to the head and bled out, some were killed at once, and some were very strong, only injured but not dead, but before they could react, the branches and leaves flew in from all directions, wrapped them again, and flew into the air again.

Gibran didn't expect the circle to unleash such an astonishing change, and involuntarily stopped, and when he found that the hurricane and the flying branches and leaves had no effect on him, and was about to join the battle, a muffled shout came from behind him: "Captain, save me......"

Hayden and Charles were also among the attackers, when they started, they were proud of their strength and didn't care at all, and released their talisman fighting qi to scatter all the branches and leaves, but those branches and leaves seemed to have some unknown attraction, no matter how far they were shaken out, or they were crushed by the fighting spirit, they would fly back from the original road, and more and more branches and leaves surrounded them, and even occupied the entire space.

With the abilities of Hayden and Charles, they have not yet reached the level of vindictive energy, since they can't block the space, they can't block the branches and leaves like maggots attached to the bones, and in the end they are tightly wrapped.

Gibran couldn't help but smile wryly, he knew that it was because they had bad intentions towards Yalina just now, so Han Jin was teaching them a lesson, but their safety was guaranteed.

The hurricane roared unscrupulously, and there were more than a dozen huge green turtle shells in the field, which were magicians trying to resist the attack of the branches and leaves with the shield, because of the special surname of the magic shield, they were a group of people who survived to the end, but it was just a support, and the branches and leaves attached to the magic shield were more and more, even reaching seven or eight meters high, and this pressure would crush the magic shield sooner or later!

Arlina raised her wand, and a ball of lightning shot out and struck one of the largest green orbs, with the painful howl of the Abyssal Serpent coming from within. The Abyssal Serpent was huge, with the most branches and leaves attached to it, and had now turned into a green hill more than twenty meters tall and constantly wriggling.

The magic released by Arlina woke the others, and they no longer bothered to watch the grand spectacle that swept the world, Julia drew her longbow, and Gibran pounced with her dagger, but they had a feeling that they couldn't do anything.

"Not good!" Alina snorted, she didn't have time to unleash her powerful magic, and unleashed an arc of lightning as fast as she could, heading towards the green hill.

The green hill suddenly collapsed downward, and then turned into countless flying clouds of smoke and dust, revealing an empty ground.

"Damn! It's a space scroll again!" Moshinko's figure flashed out from the side, and he scolded angrily, "Where did they get so many space scrolls?!"

"As long as you have gold, you can buy it. Lei Zhe also appeared.

"No way. Arina shook her head and said, "It's not the scrolls made by those magicians and alchemists in Lonely Cliff City! I've seen that their scrolls can only take away more than twenty people at most, how can they take the Abyss Serpent with them?"
