Chapter 293 Bait! Xiangyang!
Chapter 293 Bait! Xiangyang!
"It's him!" Heidi stood leisurely outside the school gate, and his eyes easily caught the familiar figure in the square - Xiangyang.
Looking around, he saw a bustling crowd. He knew very well that if the Shadow Protector showed up here openly, he would quickly become the focus of public opinion and bring about unnecessary trouble, especially the intervention of the Second Armor Team.
So, he came up with an idea and decided to move the battlefield to a more secret place.
With light steps, Hei Di walked straight into the depths of the campus. At this moment, the security guard at the school gate noticed something was wrong. In his eyes, Hei Di's sneaky demeanor was undoubtedly a sign of a suspicious person.
The security guard stepped forward alertly, his baton across his chest, and asked sternly, "Stop! Who are you?"
Faced with the question, Hei Di did not respond directly, but slowly raised his palm in an imperceptible way. In an instant, a dark energy quietly penetrated into the security guard's mind, and his eyes instantly lost their former sharpness and became empty and submissive.
The security guard unconsciously put down his baton, turned his body to the side, and made an inviting gesture, as if to make way for the Black Emperor.
Heidi raised a faint smile and nodded with satisfaction, then stepped into the school's threshold without hesitation.
As a contractor of the Shadow Realm, the Black Emperor not only bears a heavy fate, but also gains extraordinary power - mental control.
This ability allows him to easily influence the will of others, whether it is to drive them to work for him or to weave convincing illusions.
Even though he was short of money, he could use a piece of blank paper to make others believe that it was a priceless hundred-dollar bill. Although the truth came out later, to Hei Di, he had used this brief illusion to achieve his goal and disappeared.
In an empty corner, the Black Emperor approached Xiangyang quietly without encountering any challenge.
He forced a strange smile and tried to coax Xiangyang with his disturbing eyes: "Little boy, do you want to go on an adventure outside with uncle?" However, Xiangyang's eyes were full of fear. He realized the danger in an instant and instinctively wanted to escape.
But the Black Emperor was one step faster. His palm, filled with dark power, suddenly pressed on Xiangyang's forehead.
At that moment, Xiangyang's eyes became empty and blurred, as if he had lost his self-awareness. He just stood mechanically behind the Black Emperor like a controlled puppet. All his struggles and resistance disappeared.
A smug smile appeared on Heidi's lips, and then he turned around and walked out of the school with steady steps.
Xiangyang, like a puppet without a soul, mechanically followed the steps of Heidi and moved away from the protection of the school step by step.
"I have safely delivered the 'cargo' you requested." Hei Di stopped in front of a sparsely populated alley, with a barely perceptible hint of indifference and alienation in his tone.
Before he finished speaking, a chilly atmosphere filled the air and the Evil Wood Protector's signature shrill laugh suddenly rang out. His figure slowly took shape in the shadows, with a provocative sneer on his lips.
"Hei Di, you can be useful sometimes."
The appearance of the evil tree seemed to have a subtle effect on the Black Emperor's control over Xiangyang.
A faint glimmer of struggle flickered in Xiangyang's eyes, which was the struggle of his deep desire for freedom.
Black Emperor frowned slightly, obviously aware of this, but he just shrugged lightly and pushed the responsibility to Evil Wood, "Next, it's up to you."
An inexplicable uneasiness quietly grew in his heart. The Black Emperor was well aware of the dangers of cooperating with the Shadow Guardian, but he knew even more clearly that he had no way out.
So, he snorted coldly, and his figure flashed in the alley like a ghost, leaving behind only a string of sneers echoing in the air, and Xiangyang who was controlled.
The Evilwood Guardian quickly adjusted his strategy and transformed himself into a seemingly ordinary human to mitigate the potential threat to Xiangyang.
His sharp eyes saw through everything and he knew very well that his original mutant form had exerted a strong psychological pressure on Xiangyang, thus intensifying Xiangyang's resistance.
After changing forms, he noticed that the fear and struggle in Xiangyang's eyes had indeed eased, which made him secretly relieved.
He approached Xiangyang cautiously and placed his palm lightly on Xiangyang's back, where the secret device for upgrading the chip was hidden.
As he started, an unprecedented powerful energy gushed out from Xiangyang's body and was greedily absorbed by the upgraded chip like a tide.
The Evil Wood Protector felt the surge of this power, and his face instantly became one of incredible surprise.
The purity and strength of this transformed energy is not inferior to the blessing directly bestowed by the Shadow Emperor, and it is even better!
What made him even more excited was that Xiangyang himself did not seem to suffer too much pain or resistance, and the autonomous protection mechanism of the Emperor Armor was not triggered.
"God is really helping me!" The Evil Wood Guardian was secretly delighted. He realized that this operation was not just a simple mission, but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He seemed to have seen a future in which his strength would increase greatly and his status in the Shadow Realm would soar.
However, he also knew that the acquisition of this power came with great risks. He had to be more cautious to ensure that while absorbing this power, he would not attract any unnecessary attention or backlash.
Fortune and wealth must be sought in danger. The Evil Wood Protector has made up his mind. This time, he vows to grasp the "treasure" he has dug up.
......
"Jie Jie Jie!"
In a dark corner, Evil Wood was immersed in self-inflated laughter, when suddenly, a deafening roar exploded like thunder.
"Hmph, are you the host of the Shadow Guardian Evilwood?"
Faced with this sudden shout, Emu instinctively wanted to hide in the shadows, but the unfamiliarity of the voice made him stop involuntarily and glance around sharply.
In an instant, his expression became darker than the night, because the person who came was actually the Second Armored Team, who appeared before him silently.
Fang Zhong stood leisurely against the wall, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination and calmness. He had already seen through everything, quietly holding the Earth Tiger Summoner in his hand, ready to respond at any time.
Although Emu was filled with resentment and anger, and wanted to teach these uninvited guests an unforgettable lesson, reality doused his arrogance like cold water. He knew very well that in his current state, it was not wise to confront them head-on.
"Humph, I'll remember today's humiliation! When the time is right, we'll settle this account!"
After saying this, Emu forced himself to suppress the resentment in his heart and instead set his sights on the innocent Xiangyang, attempting to kidnap him as a bargaining chip to escape.
However, just as he was about to succeed, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart, forcing him to quickly pull back his arm.
At this critical moment, a bright blue light cut through the air, almost brushing past the evil tree's fingers, and finally landed with a bang, causing a deafening roar.
Emu raised his head, his face twisted with anger and unwillingness, only to see that Wendong had transformed into a wind eagle armor at some point, standing proudly on the wall, the wind eagle crossbow in his hand emitting a cold light.
This scene made Emu's heart tremble, but he immediately gritted his teeth and decided to take Xiangyang away at all costs. After all, Xiangyang was the key to their recovery of strength.
Just as he was about to launch another offensive, Ejin's urgent warning suddenly rang in Emu's mind: "Retreat quickly! Their reinforcements have arrived!" This sudden news shocked Emu's heart, and he felt powerless and angry again.
Emu glanced at Xiangyang reluctantly, with a look of determination in his eyes. Then, he suddenly rose up, and his body was wrapped in a thick black mist, and he disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant like a ghost in the night.
Fang Zhong frowned upon seeing this and quickly gave an order. Wen Dong heard this and leaped down from the wall. The Wind Eagle Crossbow in his hand instantly turned into a sharp Wind Eagle Sword, and the sword light was like lightning, slashing fiercely at the black fog that had not yet completely dissipated.
However, although the sword's light was strong, it only cut through the void, and the figure of the evil tree was nowhere to be found.
......
"What a cunning fellow, he slipped away as soon as he saw the situation was not right!" Wen Dong cursed angrily, his eyes flashing with unwillingness and fighting spirit, "If we have the chance, we will make sure they have nowhere to hide!"
Fang Zhong seemed more calm, his eyes were fixed on Xiang Yang, as if he could see through all the secrets. Xiang Yang's confused eyes became the key clue in his mind at this moment.
"There must be something fishy about the evil tree being so obsessed with this child." Fang Zhong whispered to himself, already having a plan in mind, "This child must be hiding something that the Shadow Guardian values very much."
He turned to look at Wen Dong and his teammates, his eyes flashing with determination and wisdom: "Although we can't directly find the hiding place of the Shadow Protector, why don't we use this child's special characteristics to set up a game of 'luring the snake out of its hole'?"
As he spoke, he gently patted Xiangyang's shoulder. Upon hearing his words, everyone looked at him with curiosity and expectation.
Fang Zhong continued to explain: "Since the Shadow Guardian is so concerned about this kid, then we will use him as bait and set a trap. When they show up, we will catch them all in one fell swoop!"
"Good idea!" Wen Dong was the first to respond, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "This way, we can not only solve the current crisis, but also impress those who look down on us!"
