"It seems...... I can't learn Raphael's magic anymore. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Saseo sighed as he looked at the top of the mountain.
"I really didn't expect him to be so patient. Arina nodded in agreement.
It's been more than 20 days, Han Jin has been staying on the top of the mountain, sitting cross-legged, not even eating or drinking, at first, they were worried that Han Jin would be hungry and sick, but later they were relieved to see that Han Jin's complexion was getting better and better.
Saseou and the others thought that this was a necessary step for the super magic array set up by Han Jin, although they also admitted that this magic array had unimaginable power, but the price was too great! They knew very well that they would never be able to do it, and they would meditate for more than 20 days? No joke, whether it was meditation in the general sense or deep meditation, it could only be maintained for more than ten hours at most, and even if it was a super-level great demon master, it would not be able to maintain a meditative state for several days and nights in a row! As for Han Jin...... It can only be said that this person is too eccentric and amazing.
Thinking about the fact that they had stayed there motionless for more than twenty days, both Arina and Saseo had a chilling feeling, no different from squatting in prison, right? If there was, it would be more painful! At least the prisoner still had time to let the wind out, but Han Jin was like a stone statue.
For ordinary people, sitting in one place for decades is an unimaginable boredom and pain, while for cultivators, they have only realized one or several things in a flick of their fingers.
It's just that they are not Han Jin, so naturally they don't know Han Jin's feelings.
In the past, Han Jin only lacked energy, because his Dao Heart already had a deep foundation, but in the past year or so, Han Jin's progress has been surprisingly fast, especially after stepping through the entrance, the gap between the two is not so obvious. For example, the Dao Heart is the wooden barrel, and the energy is the water, Han Jin used to have a very large wooden barrel, so there was no need to consider other factors, just pour water into the barrel with one force, and now that the barrel is mostly full, he must find a way to increase the volume of the barrel.
And these more than 20 days of meditation have made Han Jin have a lot of enlightenment, since he cultivated the Dao technique, he has only had the experience of casting a large magic circle once, and that time he had a master on the side to guide and help, but this time he is completely on his own, and the harvest is very different!
"He's going to be fine, is he?" asked Shaniel softly.
"No, it won't. Saseou smiled: "You see Raphael's complexion, it's getting better and better, it's just ......"
The entire Eight Doors Locked Heaven Array suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and the expressions of the eight Array Commanders changed drastically at the same time, and Asa and the other Array Stars also looked a little panicked, because a group of mercenaries with a number of about two hundred appeared more than ten miles away and walked into the Eight Doors Locked Heaven Array.
In fact, such a huge demonic beast is not suitable for activities in the forest, with the footsteps of the abyssal snake, the ancient trees on both sides are squeezed to the ground, and some are even pushed down by the roots, and the movement is very large. Perhaps for fear of alarming others, the Abyss Snake stopped there after stepping into the Eight Gates Locked Heaven Array for about two miles.
There were three people on the back of the Abyss Serpent, one of them was a young man in a black robe, about twenty-five or six years old, that was obviously the leader of the Abyss Mercenary Squad, Manteqiu! The last time he fought in the night, no one could see his appearance clearly, and now he was in the Eight Doors Locked Heaven Array, and everyone could see it clearly. Manteqiu's stature is neither tall nor short, slightly chubby, with empty hands, he has a pair of very straight eyebrows, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the lips are slightly thin, it stands to reason that this should be a very handsome person, but unfortunately, his eyes are like the finishing touch, which destroys his whole demeanor.
It was a well-deserved pair of triangular eyes, with sharp edges and small pupils, scattering a hideous light similar to that of a demonic beast, making his whole person look particularly vicious.
There was a girl in a red magic robe standing next to him, it should be Eva, although Eva's appearance and figure have a lot of praise, but she has a pair of eyes that are similar to Manteqiu's, although her pupils are much larger than Manteqiu's, but unfortunately she can't change her overall temperament.
What shocked Arina and the others was the third person on the Abyss Serpent! To be precise, it was an elf, Edwina! Edvina was tied up like a rice dumpling, lying quietly on the back of the Abyss Serpent, her eyes closed, and I didn't know if she was still sane.
Gibran took a long breath, his brain was spinning rapidly, the world is so ruthless, if Julia was captured, he would have rushed up desperately, but the captured person was Edwina, he could keep his sanity, even though Julia and Edvina were sisters.
"Julia, did you strike the last time Mantejou attacked us?" asked Gibran in a deep voice.
Julia, pale, nodded slowly, her hands twisting her longbow vigorously, squeaking it.
The eight Warriors, including Moshinko, were all smart men, and Gibran asked in the most critical place, and they immediately analyzed what had happened.
When Mantejou attacked them, Julia unleashed the Dryad's Arrow, which was Julia's famous stunt, so Mantejou already knew what side the Red Spear had chosen. Edvina had returned to Lonely Cliff City beforehand, and had no idea what was going on in the forest, and when Mantejow met Edvina in Lonely Cliff City, he hit Edvina with his idea.
All the famous mercenary teams or mercenary groups in Lonely Cliff City, everyone is familiar with each other, no one will easily offend anyone, meet and say hello, say a few kind words, this is normal, one has a heart, the other has no intention, Edwina is alone, it is inevitable that she will be captured in the end.
You can't blame Edwina for being careless, and you can't blame Julia for making a rash move, it can only be said that all this is an inevitable coincidence!
"What shall we do?" said Shaniel anxiously.
And so on. Gibran's gaze couldn't help but drift to the top of the mountain, Manteqiu's origin and his own combat effectiveness have always been a mystery, he is not sure to rescue people from Manteqiu's hands, he is not waiting for Manteqiu to be careless, giving them a chance in vain, but Han Jin has made a move.
Manteqiu didn't know that his every move was all exposed under the noses of others, he beckoned and gave an order, and a dozen thieves in the mercenaries released stealth together, touching forward from all directions, the abyssal snake slowly lay on the ground, several magicians and warriors jumped up, and sat in a circle with Manteqiu and Eva, it seemed that they were the small leaders of the team.
I don't know what Mantejou said again, the mercenaries began to check their weapons, obviously, this is a pre-battle preparation, Mantejou's expression is very solemn, and the others seem to attach great importance to this work, the warriors are wiping their weapons, the archers are twisting the bowstring a little bit, the magician is checking their magic staff, everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Eva took out magic scrolls from her spatial ring, there were almost thirty of them, this amount of strategic reserves, which shocked Arlina and the others. The magic scroll is a condensation of magical power, because it saves the time to chant magic, and it is very significant in actual combat, but the magic scroll is not something that any magician can make, and the cost of it is even more unbearable.
Magic crystals must be used in magic scrolls, and the quality of magic crystals must be of the highest quality, because the quality of magic crystals directly determines the life of the scroll, and no one wants the magic scrolls that they can buy at a high price will become waste products after a few years due to the passage of elemental power. And the magic power of a magician to make a scroll is very amazing, under normal circumstances, the magic power lost by making a lightning scroll is enough for him to release dozens of lightning bolts in succession, the higher the level of magic scrolls, the more amazing the loss, even if it is Yalina, it will take a few days or even dozens of days to make a high-level magic scroll, at least, she has to spread the huge loss to the range she may bear.
Eva patiently opened the magic scrolls one by one, carefully examined them, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the magic scrolls, she retracted the scrolls into the space ring, and Manteqiu took out a dark long sword, wiping it while saying something, while the others, including Eva, kept nodding their heads.
Mantejou spent a long time preparing for the battle, and the sneaking thieves approached the camp, observed for a long time, and then sneaked back, which took almost two hours, and Mantejou had not finished speaking, and Eva and the others were not impatient at all, and had been listening carefully.
Sometimes, what I learned from my friends was far less profound than what I learned from my enemies! Lei Zhe, Sas'o, and the others all showed thoughtful expressions.
Manteqiu gave them the impression of being very arrogant, but he actually made the pre-war preparations so solemn, which is enough to prove that he is truly a surname, the so-called famous man is not empty, a person who can make the leader of the dragon bard mercenary group and the wurm knight Duye Sam feel troublesome, it can not only be summed up in arrogance!
After a long time, Manteqiu finally waved his hand, and the magicians and warriors jumped down one after another, and the Abyssal Serpent slowly stood up, and with slow but determined steps, forcibly broke through the barrier of the forest, and walked straight forward.
"They're coming, and we're going to have to show something, at least not to make Mantejou suspicious. Gibran said softly.
This time, Manteqiu seemed to have no intention of launching a sneak attack, so he swaggered close to the camp, the closer he was, the more dim the fierce light in his eyes, and finally he simply lost his spirit, and the whole person became lazy, yawning constantly, and there was a harmless smile on the corner of his mouth. It's a pity that this kind of performance seems boring, and Arina and the others know very well that Mantejou, who had just prepared for the war, is the real Mantejou, and now, he is just wearing a mask like Shaniel.
