"They're here." Nian Jing's eyes narrowed. As the one with the highest talent and strongest superpower among the four present, she was the first to discover Aoki's existence.
But soon, she frowned. "There's someone else!"
Hearing her words, Huo Kui and the others extended their superpowers in the direction Nian Jing pointed and sensed the existence of Aoki's group.
"Number 3 and two people we've never seen before. One of them has a weak superpower fluctuation on his body. It seems like it hasn't been long since his superpower awakened. It seems like these two aren't from the church.
Why do I feel a hint of familiarity from these two? "Huo Kui also frowned.
Aoki, who was walking over not far away, naturally also sensed four different superpowers sweeping over them. He couldn't help but smile.
"Your four old friends are all here. I wonder if they still recognize you after sensing your existence?" Aoki said to Brad and Catherine.
"They probably don't remember. In order to survive here, we didn't dare to appear under their noses back then," Brad said calmly. Bullard said without batting an eyelid. But hidden beneath his black robe, his eyes were filled with a cold chill.
It wasn't just him. After Catherine found out who Aoki was bringing them to meet, the hatred in her eyes had never disappeared.
Those who hadn't lived here before wouldn't know how much psychological pressure the six people had given them back then. They also wouldn't know what kind of mental fortitude was required to endure such humiliation and live on.
It could be said that those six people were a nightmare that they couldn't get rid of every night when they went to sleep.
But to be honest, the two of them were only afraid of these people back then because they were more powerful as a whole. Now that the two of them had replenished their six elves and possessed a certain level of basic combat prowess, they were no longer as fearful of these people. Perhaps they would be able to break this nightmare of theirs today.
Aoki smiled again and didn't say anything. He was so close to Brad and Catherine's resentment, so he could clearly feel it.
"Let's go and meet them."
When the two groups of people met face to face, they were in a relatively flat area in the stone forest.
This place was chosen by Aoki himself. Before he left the Space-Time Mountain, he had indeed sent a voice transmission to the person in charge of the four of them, Huo Kui.
Now, Wallace and the others no longer had enough power to suppress the four of them. Therefore, before they returned to the elven world, they would no longer be restricted by Wallace.
They had stayed here for so long in order to crack the secret of the Time-Space Mountain. Aoki did not believe that they were not curious about the things inside.
Even if it was a gamble, Aoki felt that they were willing to give it a try.
Moreover, Number Three, whose strength was not obvious, was not much of a threat to them.
"The four of you, it seems that you trust me quite a bit. However, if you can remove all the tricks in the surroundings, I reckon that my trust in you will be even higher. Aoki said indifferently with a hint of mockery in his words.
These people were really taking things for granted. Did they think that by setting up some small traps nearby, they would be able to make him hesitate?
Aoki originally had a much better impression of this person than the two who had died in his hands. However, from the looks of it, these people were basically the same. They were purely living in their own idealistic world. Some things that seemed laughable were actually extraordinary to them.
It was not that these people were stupid. To be able to possess such strength, there would not be anyone who was stupid. What they lacked was experience and knowledge.
It was said that a person's growth was accompanied by the growth of experience and experience. The more things one experienced, the more things one would learn. However, they had been stuck here for twenty-five or even fifty years. Their limited knowledge sometimes made them look a little stupid.
They did not even prepare to prevent Aoki's sneak attack last time.
However, since they knew to set up traps this time, they had at least used some of their brains. Although these traps were not much different from what a three-year-old would do in Aoki's eyes.
However, it was unlikely that they would be able to get rid of them through a sneak attack this time.
Hearing Aoki's words, Huo Kui and the others looked a little embarrassed. Their faces were a little embarrassed when Aoki saw through their traps.
"Cough cough. I wonder who the two people behind you are …" Huo Kui asked, changing the topic to avoid the awkwardness.
Huo Kui didn't know where Number Three had found these two people from, but his original thoughts of taking down Aoki were all put to rest.
He did not know the identity and strength of these two people, which made him a little uncertain.
Huo Kui's question caused the coldness in the eyes of Brad and Catherine, who were hidden under the black robes, to become even more intense. If not for the fact that they were afraid of ruining Aoki's plan, the two of them would have already charged forward.
"They're just two friends.
Let's talk about how we can break the spatial barrier on the Space-Time Mountain. "Aoki smiled and skipped over Brad and Catherine's identity.
Hearing this, Huo Kui's eyes lit up. Compared to their identities, the four of them were more interested in how to break the spatial barrier.
"Right, right. I wonder if Number Three has any method to break the spatial barrier?"
Aoki easily grasped the initiative of the topic. However, when Huo Kui lowered his head, an unsuppressable desire appeared in his eyes.
He had stayed here for fifty years. Even if it was because of the God Church that he chose to come here and stay here, he was still loyal to the God Church.
Now, from the bottom of his heart, he was very loyal to the Divine Religion. Or rather, without the deterrence of the Divine Religion, he felt that he would be able to achieve meteoric success.
"I don't have any special methods. I only have the God Church's method, which is to gather six spirits that can completely fuse their attributes and break the barrier," Aoki said.
Huo Kui frowned. "Are you joking with us? Right now, there are only four Iboos here. I don't know where the other two have gone. "
"You don't need to care about those two Iboos. I just want to borrow the four that belong to you. If you can really break the barrier, I can give you a lot of benefits." Aoki raised his eyebrows and stretched out a hand in front of Huo Kui, as if saying, 'Give it to me.'
Seeing Aoki's actions, Huo Kui and the others were stunned. They didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Were they familiar with Number Three?
E Song, who was standing behind Huo Kui, looked at Nian Jing with an expression that said, 'Are we familiar with him? How come I don't know anything about that expression? '
Nian Jing rolled her eyes at E Song. Did she not understand that the other party was playing with them? It was just that Number Three had a serious expression on his face.
Huo Kui forcefully suppressed his thoughts of attacking Number Three and said in a deep voice, "Let's end the joke here. You should know the consequences of continuing to joke. Don't think that no one noticed what you did on the Space-Time Mountain. If I tell Wallace and Catherine, you know what the consequences will be, right?"
Hearing Huo Kui's words, Aoki was stunned.
He knew that what he did on the Space-Time Mountain couldn't stand up to scrutiny. As long as someone thought about it, they would eventually notice the abnormality of Number Three.
But … what did that have to do with him now? He didn't really care about what the people of Divine Church thought. If he was really Number Three, then it would be hard to say. But he was a fake Number Three, so he didn't need to worry about that at all. Plus, with his current strength, he didn't need to worry about Wallace and the others.
Therefore, he could completely ignore Huo Kui's threat to Aoki.
"Aiyaya, saying it like that really makes me feel bad. But … if you really want to tell Lord Wallace about this, why don't I give you a chance to tell him personally?"
After saying that, Aoki pointed at a rock behind Huo Kui and the others, then shouted, "Lord Wallace, there shouldn't be a need for this subordinate to personally invite you out, right?"
Hearing that, the expressions of Huo Kui and the others changed. They turned around at the same time and looked at the rock behind them.
If Wallace was really there, in addition to Aoki who was his subordinate, Number Three, and two people they had never heard of before, the safety of the four of them really couldn't be guaranteed.
Furthermore, in the hearts of Huo Kui and the others, Wallace might really be behind them.
After all, with Wallace's powerful superpower, it wasn't impossible for him to hide and come here. Plus, they originally thought that there was something fishy about Number Three looking for them.
They had already guessed the purpose of Number Three's actions, and now it seemed that it was very likely that it was Wallace's plan. Although they didn't know the real reason why he planned this, it was definitely related to the few Ibus in their hands.
However, they forgot one thing. Even they didn't know if Wallace was there, so how would Aoki know where he was?
After all, Aoki had arrived much later than them, and they had investigated the surroundings beforehand to prevent falling into Aoki's trap.
The four of them turned around at the same time with Pokeballs in their hands, looking like they were ready to attack.
This stunned Aoki and the other two behind them.
'These four … Do they have brains? Or are they brainless? '
Even people like Brad and Catherine, who didn't have powerful superpowers, knew that Wallace couldn't be there. Aoki had just casually pointed, wanting to joke with the four of them again. His intention was simple, he just wanted to tell them that he wasn't worried about them reporting him to the higher-ups.
Since he dared to do this, he must have his own confidence.
However, the four of them moved in unison, telling Aoki and the others that they all believed him.
In truth, this could be considered as being too smart for their own good. It was because there were too many thoughts in their minds that interfered with their most basic judgment.
The thought that Wallace might be there was hidden deep in their minds, because this was what they were worried about the most.
Although Wallace's strength wasn't as strong as before, he was still stronger than any of the four of them. Coupled with Aoki and the other two, they really felt like they had been tricked.
However, when they handed their juniors over to Aoki like this, Aoki, who originally just wanted to make a joke, was instantly tempted.
'These are four round farts … Ugh, bah!' 'These are four people who aren't on guard at all.'
Aoki admitted that when he first arrived, he had considered whether or not to kill all four of them and directly get the few Ibu elves in their hands. That way, he would be done once and for all.
However, this thought only lasted for less than a minute in his mind before he threw it out.
Other things aside, he had already killed one in a head-on battle and another in a sneak attack. Even if they really didn't have much actual combat experience, they should have improved a little. At least, they shouldn't follow in his footsteps.
When he first arrived, although Aoki felt a little funny about the traps and ambushes they had set up, and even felt like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he also felt that they had made some preparations and probably wouldn't be ambushed again.
However, humans, humans, would often make one or two surprising moves.
Now, these four backs made Aoki feel very envious, so envious that … he had the urge to attack.
After saying so much, Aoki's mind spun rapidly, and he made a decision in 0.1 seconds!
As the King of Sneak Attacks, if he didn't seize such a good opportunity in front of him, it would really be a disgrace to his name!
'F * ck them!
I'd be a bastard if I didn't take advantage of them! '
In an instant, Aoki immediately changed his plan.
Plans, plans, the purpose of a plan was to be changed. Otherwise, how could he adapt to changes at will?
"Dakraii!" Aoki's deep voice rang in Dakraii's ears in his shadow. He immediately understood what Aoki meant.
A black shadow crawled out from Aoki's shadow and split into two. A slightly smaller shadow immediately rushed from where Aoki was and rushed behind Huo Kui and the other three at lightning speed.
With Dakraii's current strength, his speed was definitely extremely fast. Furthermore, as an experienced evil elf, he naturally knew how to avoid the senses of those with superpowers.
Without any hesitation, Dakraii saw Aoki's blade as his enemy. As an enemy, he did not care whether the other party was a human or an elf.
His pitch-black and sharp claws were much more terrifying than the Grim Reaper's scythe, and he could instantly reap lives.
'Oh no!' Huo Kui roared inwardly. When he sensed the abnormality within a few seconds, he subconsciously used his superpower to protect himself. However, he discovered that his superpower was useless against the other party's attack.
No, don't even talk about blocking it. Before his superpower could even touch it, it melted away like snow in winter.
In an instant, he understood that the elf that ambushed him was an evil elf. Moreover, it was the kind of evil elf that was ridiculously strong.
They were confident in their superpowers. Although they were always on guard, they were still ambushed in the end.
It was because they were too vigilant and the name Wallace intimidated them too much that they subconsciously turned around and allowed Aoki to seize the opportunity.
And this fleeting opportunity was also grasped by Aoki!
It had to be said that Dakraii was able to do this because he was powerful enough. At the same time, evil elves naturally countered superpowers.
Whoosh!
The three of them turned around with great difficulty and looked at Aoki in disbelief. The only one who wasn't instantly killed by Dakraii was the weakest and only female among them, Nian Jing, an esper elf user.
The sound Dakraii made when he waved his claws was because he touched Nian Jing's defense. As a trainer of esper elves and a powerful esper, her defense and attacks against evil elves were the tightest.
Therefore, Dakraii's attack was blocked by her special item and she didn't die immediately. However, it was still an attack from Dakraii. Even an elf's physique might not be able to withstand it, let alone a human. Therefore, even if she didn't die, she would be seriously injured.
Aoki shrugged helplessly at the four people who were still alive. His words were filled with helplessness. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't want to do this, but … but the backs of the four of you are too beautiful. I couldn't help it … I couldn't help it. This is the only time. There won't be a next time, I swear!"
They were already dead. Next time?
Pfft!
Hearing Aoki's words, Huo Kui, who was still in disbelief, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He really didn't expect this kind of ending. They were so prepared that Number Three's arrival would attract people from other churches to surround and annihilate them.
The Ibu elves in their hands were the key. As long as Wallace and the others didn't give up on this mission, they would be in a lot of trouble.
However, it was also because of this that they subconsciously fell for Aoki's joke. Perhaps this was what they meant by 'too much concern leads to confusion'. Or perhaps … a hundred plans could lead to a careless mistake?
Actually, in Aoki's plan, he had only come here to talk about cooperation with the four of them. He had two Ibuls, while the other side had four. However, he was missing a crucial item. If the two of them worked together to find Wallace, there was a high chance that they would be able to reach an agreement.
Open the Space-Time Mountain's barrier!
Although Wallace's strength was greatly reduced, he definitely wouldn't give up on the item inside the Space-Time Mountain's barrier so easily.
The three of them would work together to open the barrier. As for how the item would be divided after the barrier was opened, it would depend on their strength and methods.
Aoki's plan wasn't wrong. However, right now, he was rejoicing that he hadn't cooperated with the four of them. The four of them looked vigorous and imposing, and no matter whether it was in terms of appearance or strength, there weren't too many problems with them. However, their brains …
There was a saying that was very cliché, but it was very practical in this situation. Don't be afraid of a god-like opponent, but be afraid of a pig-like teammate.
If he really cooperated with them and fell into Wallace's trap, he didn't know what would happen to him.
Instead of expecting others to be of some use, he might as well grasp all the conditions in his hands first.
Originally, after the barrier was broken, they would definitely have a battle to fight. When the time came, it would definitely be a bitter battle. It would be a good thing to be able to resolve it early.
Brad and Catherine were somewhat unable to react to the scene in front of them. Before they came, Aoki had told them about the plan, so even if the two of them couldn't suppress the killing intent in their hearts when they saw Huo Kui and the others, for the sake of Aoki's plan, the two of them forcefully suppressed it.
But what was going on now?
They had clearly planned it out, yet three of them were killed in an instant? The remaining one was more or less crippled. Furthermore, it wasn't hard to hear the mockery in Aoki's words.
Brad and Catherine admitted that the four of them turning around just now was indeed a very good opportunity, but the two of them knew that they wouldn't be able to seize it.
First, they needed a sprite that could evade their superpowers, and it had to be fast enough to launch a powerful attack in less than a second.
From Nian Jing's self-defense, it could be seen that the other three more or less had self-defense as well. It was just that they weren't able to block Da Klei's attack.
However, didn't they say that they would deal with these enemies themselves?
Brad and Catherine looked at Aoki at the same time.
Noticing the two of them shifting their gazes, Aoki said in a bad mood, "What are you looking at?! Can't you see that there's still one left? "
After Aoki's reminder, Brad and Catherine finally reacted.
There was still one left!
This was their last chance for revenge, and they couldn't lose it! They couldn't let them die so easily. Otherwise, wouldn't the oppression they had suffered all these years be for nothing?!
With the new and old grudges added together, Brad and Catherine immediately unleashed their strongest attacks.
Pokeballs were thrown out one by one, and in an instant, twelve sprites surrounded the heavily injured Nian Jing.
Nian Jing, who had yet to recover from her shock, looked at this scene in a daze, not knowing what to do. She pressed on the wounds on her body, but there seemed to be a special energy attached to them. No matter how she used her superpowers, she couldn't stop the blood from flowing out.
When she came back to her senses, she saw Brad and Catherine surrounded her with dozens of sprites.
She swallowed her saliva softly. "Is there … some misunderstanding between us?"
Aoki shook his head helplessly, ignoring Brad and Catherine's actions, as well as some of the scenes that were not suitable for children.
He teleported to Huo Kui and the other two who were lying on the ground with their eyes wide open.
The first thing he did was to remove all the pokeballs from their bodies, picking out the one that belonged to Ibu and placing it aside. The rest of the pokeballs were all put away.
Just by subconsciously scanning the sprites' data, Aoki was dumbfounded.
Needless to say, these four people who looked smart but liked to do stupid things had gained a lot. At the very least, if the four of them really summoned all their sprites, Aoki felt that the three of them might not be able to deal with it.
Of course, this was under the condition that they could cooperate perfectly and didn't make any mistakes.
Even so, it could be seen that their sprites were quite strong.
A group of people who were willing to stay in a place where few people went for 25 or even 50 years. In a situation where they didn't lack resources, it was understandable for them to be able to do this.
However, all of this was a wedding dress for someone else, a wedding dress for Aoki … Dowry … Ugh …
It was true that they were hardworking, but the wrong thing was that their lives were too comfortable. There was no pressure from competition, and there were no external threats.
It was like a game where you worked very hard to get into the wild and crazily kill monsters, hoping to get a piece of the sky. Did you work hard? You worked hard! However, when you came out of the mountains, you realized that your teammates had already given the other party a mountain that you could not surpass. All of your hard work was for naught.
Therefore, in this version of the game, jungling was no longer the era of farming in the wild. Without gank, farming in the end would be for naught.
How could the experience of farming in the wild be higher than gank?
Ahem, that was just a metaphor. Huo Kui and the other three were like people who had crawled into the wild, and Aoki had gained enough experience and economy online. Even if they were still hiding in the wild, they were no longer his match.
That was what it meant. There were a total of six of them, and five of them had died in Aoki's hands.
At the same time, reality also proved that blindly growing up might not be as good as others' gains after going through hardships.
However, it had to be said that Huo Kui and the others had stayed here for so long, so they had a lot of resources and good items in their spatial equipment. There were so many that Takeshi Aoki could not help but drool.
The value of the items on them was probably more valuable than all the resources on all the church members in the Space-Time Continent combined.
Aoki did not know how Nian Jing died, but all the valuable items on her were in Aoki's hands.
He clapped his hands lightly. Although it was not quite what he had planned, having six Ivan in his hands was much better than working with them.
"Alright, the matter here can be considered to be over. Although there were some accidents, I have to say that they weren't bad, right?
Now, we have to go and meet the main characters. "Aoki narrowed his eyes. He still had to go according to plan … hopefully.
In truth, Aoki did not only meet with Huo Kui and the other three today. There was something more important than them. Not only was he the key to breaking the Space-Time Mountain's barrier, but he was also the key to solving the problem of Brad and Catherine returning to the Elf World.
Aoki waved his arm again, and the three of them disappeared from where they were.
However, after Aoki and the others left, a figure actually slowly walked out from behind the rock behind Huo Kui and the others at the location that Aoki had pointed out.
It had to be said that sometimes, luck and coincidences were just so unexpected.
This person glanced at the place where Aoki and the others had disappeared, then looked at the pile of rocks where Huo Kui and the others were buried. It was unknown what he was thinking, but after pausing for a moment, he also disappeared from where he was.
When he left, this person who had always maintained his calm had some sweat on his forehead. Just now, he had almost … almost been tricked out by Aoki. Fortunately, he was a step slower.
In truth, when Aoki said that Wallace was there, he was not really making things up. After all, he really did meet with Wallace today, although it was not at the same place.
Why did he want to meet with Wallace, who was once the person in charge of the Space-Time Continent's church?
There were truly some things that could not be avoided. Without his existence, things would be very difficult to handle.
No matter if it was the detailed method to activate the Space-Time Mountain's barrier or the method for non-members of the church to leave, Aoki felt that he could only learn these things from him.
As for how he managed to contact him, it was actually not that hard. Although Wallace's strength had been greatly reduced, Aoki and the other members of the church who originally belonged to him were still able to contact him. The only difference was that in the past, when they contacted him, they had to listen to his orders. Now, however, they could directly ignore his orders.
In addition, as number three, Wallace was very curious as to what role Aoki had played in the chaos of the church on the Space-Time Mountain. That was why Aoki had successfully managed to contact him.
Not far from the Space-Time Mountain, Aoki saw the former high-spirited person in charge of the church. Now, he seemed somewhat dispirited. The loss of two of his main elves was a huge blow to him. This was especially true for his trump card, Haeluga. After its super evolution, it could even break through the second barrier of the champion class.
But a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. No matter how great Wallace's losses were, his strength was still greater than the majority of the church's members.
Moreover, if Wallace wanted to regain his former strength, he definitely couldn't do it through conventional methods. So, what was the fastest way to regain his strength?
Perhaps the only way was to obtain the item within the barrier and then complete the mission. With the help of the church's true behind-the-scenes bishop, he could quickly raise an elf to the same level as Haeluga.
Disregarding everything else, the church had all sorts of strange methods. It wasn't impossible for them to have such a method.
Therefore, when Aoki told Wallace that he had a way to break through the barrier, even the once dispirited Wallace didn't hesitate to agree to meet with Aoki.
Seeing that Aoki didn't come alone, Wallace subconsciously frowned. Right now, he was a commander without an army. And a commander without an army whose strength had been greatly reduced. Now, any of his former subordinates could ignore his orders.
"Number 3 … no, you should be Bartram. Or perhaps you have some other identity. That's not important. What is the method you said you had to break through the barrier of the Spacetime Mountain?" Wallace went straight to the point. After he found out that Brad and Catherine weren't members of the church, he had a lot of fantasies about Aoki's identity.
Among them, the most important ones were like Huo Kui and the others. They believed that Aoki was a member of another faction who had intentionally infiltrated the church. Although they didn't know what faction it was, it should be quite powerful.
Wallace was slightly surprised that there were other people in the Spacetime Continent apart from the church and the Alliance.
But he was still that arrogant and conceited Wallace. Even if his strength wasn't as great as before, he believed that it shouldn't be too much of a problem for him to deal with Aoki, Number 3.
Aoki was clearly the center of the trio. If the other two were stronger than him, he wouldn't be the center of attention.
Therefore, although Wallace couldn't ignore the strength of Aoki and the other two, he didn't pay too much attention to them.
Hearing that, Aoki smiled and opened his palm. Six shrunken pokeballs lay quietly in his hand. "Since Lord Wallace is so straightforward, then this subordinate won't hide it.
This subordinate's method is actually Lord's method. It's just that Lord didn't collect the elves, but this subordinate has collected all of them. "
Seeing the six pokeballs in Aoki's hand and hearing his words, Wallace narrowed his eyes. His pupils shrunk, and an unconcealable fire appeared in his eyes.
