Creating a Virtual World Chapter 116: The cruel world
Laila eventually makes a decision at Jiangqiao's suggestion.
That is, he led a team of three elites with Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan to track down the traces of the law thief.
The others returned to Brand Island to take the wounded to rest.
Laila is not going to let the spell-stealers go because of the power of the creatures on the island, as her ego doesn't allow her to go home empty-handed this time.
If she returns to the battleship without even catching a spell-stealer, as the eldest daughter of the Felicity family... she won't lose her reputation, but she will also end up with a reputation for returning from defeat.
At this stage, Laila has never failed an imperial mission, and she will not allow herself to fail this time.
"I said you didn't lead me this time with the idea of dying?"
Jiang Qiao followed Laila, and Laila's eyes became very terrifying from the beginning.
The three views of these outsiders are completely different from those of modern people on Blue Star, and Laila is the type that puts honor above her own life.
Jiang Qiao doesn't understand the three views of this kind of person, so he doesn't give any comments.
"This is just a reconnaissance mission." Laila said, wielding her sword and cutting down a grass that blocked her path. "I want to find out where the spell thieves are hiding."
"Then what?" Jiang Qiao asked Laila about her next plan, leading Laila to hire the Holy Spirits to help her hunt down those law thieves.
"I know what you're thinking, but it's my job to catch those law thieves."
Of course, Laila saw through Jiang Qiao's thoughts. Although she had previously entrusted the Holy Spirits under Jiang Qiao's command to arrest the law thieves, Laila still believed that it was her duty to arrest all those law thieves.
But the situation on Brand Island had deteriorated to a point that Lyra's soldiers could not handle, and they were risking their lives by walking on Brand Island like this.
If she entrusts the Holy Spirits to assist her... it will undoubtedly be a lot easier.
"Oh." Jiang Qiao didn't continue to persuade her. If he could let someone else do his job and he could fish for it, Jiang Qiao would be very happy.
Laila is the kind of person who would be ashamed of it, but her shame would cost the lives of her subordinates, so Laila is struggling right now.
While Jiang Qiao was thinking about this, a young soldier who was exploring the road in front raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to stop.
Laila stopped her footsteps, and when she turned around and was about to say something to Jiang Qiao, the fire spirit floating beside Jiang Qiao suddenly charged towards Laila.
The scorching flames came, causing Laila to widen her pupils. She did not expect Jiang Qiao to suddenly attack her at such a time.
Ke Laila had always been wary of Jiang Qiao. A ring in her hand shone brightly, and the magic barrier overflowed on Laila.
Laila doesn't know whether this magical barrier can withstand the attack of the Jiangqiao Fire Spirit, but the target of the Fire Spirit is not Laila, but the elite soldier behind Laila.
The fire spirit directly slammed into the soldier behind Laila, and the hot flames bloomed on the soldier, and then turned into several ropes and wrapped around the soldier.
Fire Binding.
One of the four unique skills of Fire Spirit is the field control skill, which may not hurt or itch when used on rough-skinned monsters.
But this soldier was miserable. The moment the hot flames surrounded him, the high temperature instantly made his armor turn red, and the flames made a sizzling sound on his body, and he could still smell it. To the aroma of barbecue.
The poor soldier fell to the ground screaming and screaming.
"You..." When Laila was about to accuse Jiang Qiao, she found the soldier's long sword falling to the ground, and recalled what happened just now.
This elite soldier trusted by Laila was about to raise her sword to stab at Laila when she turned around. Jiang Qiao bound him with a fire spirit at this moment.
"It seems that there are quite a few 25 boys in your team." Jiang Qiao's right hand was lightly clenched, and the soldier who fell to the ground let out a terrifying wailing sound again.
After Jiang Qiao muted the soldier, he looked to the end of the forest in the distance.
"..." Laila raised the hilt of the long sword in her hand, knocking out the soldier who was bound by Jiang Qiao's flames.
Laila is not as silly and sweet as Hai Lan. She has realized that the soldiers under her command have betrayed, but she can't bear to see the soldiers who used to be loyal to her being tortured by Jiang Qiao, so she has to use this method to alleviate his pain.
Sure enough, after the soldier fainted, Jiang Qiao released the flame restraint of the fire spirit, and the aroma of barbecue still wafted in the air.
And at this moment, applause suddenly sounded in the forest.
"You're coming faster than I expected, eldest daughter of the Felicity family, but why did you only bring these people? Are your soldiers eaten up by monsters on the way?"
A man suddenly walked out from the side of the forest with extremely slow applause. He was wearing a prisoner's costume. Behind the man were more than a dozen fugitives who also wore prisoner's costumes, beside the prisoner. An old man dressed in religious clothing was also followed.
"Duncys! Damn..."
Laila raised the long sword in her hand and aimed it at the man, who was the most wanted criminal of the Sunshine Empire and the leader of the Law Thief Organization, Dunsheth Psien.
But there's something odd about Laila...it's as if this man and this group of spell-stealers have been waiting for her for a long time.
Not just waiting for her, but the soldiers she hunts down.
As if...as if they were the hunters and Lyra the prey.
"Oh, little one, it looks like you don't understand what's going on? But you don't have to understand~IndoMTL.com~ It's better for the little ones to go home and listen to fairy tales, but then only the goddess of death can give You tell fairy tales."
The man named Dunsheth announced all this in a sad voice. Laila was stunned for a while, but she understood something when she saw the old man standing beside the man... religiously dressed .
"Why are you here, Bishop Senna?" Laila asked out of control.
The bishop closed his eyes with some pain, then turned his head sideways and didn't want to look anymore.
"Don't get it yet? Little sheep." Dunshees seemed to enjoy Laila's confusion.
"Uh... do I need a professional commentator at this time?"
Jiang Qiao watched for a long time beside him. Laila was in the authorities, so she didn't understand at all, but Jiang Qiao, as a bystander, understood at a glance.
"What did the explanation say?" Laila looked out of control.
"It wasn't this soldier who betrayed you." Jiang Qiao pointed at the soldier who was knocked unconscious by Laila on the ground and said, "It is possible that the one who betrayed you was the entire Sun Empire, to be precise, some high-level officials in the Sun Empire."
Jiang Qiao knew that with such a huge amount of energy on Brand Island, no human being could resist the temptation, let alone these high-level empires.
They must have figured out some way of harnessing the energy on Brand Island, which... requires a living sacrifice.
Laila, and her pursuer soldiers are living sacrifices!
