138 Do As I Say
The vortex seemed to have a mind of its own as it frantically absorbed the surrounding elements, pulling at every piece of the Shadow Wolf’s skin and flesh. The huge energy tore the Shadow Wolf into countless black fragments!
The black mud was scattered in all directions of the camp under the effect of the madly spinning vortex.
Splat! One of the pieces of mud hit the center of the wormhole!
Lear, who was riding atop the Black Sun, revealed a triumphant smile. This was the result he wanted!
These people had not yet noticed that his target had quietly changed from the woman to the nearby wormhole. As long as he blocked the wormhole, these people would have no way to escape!
“Li Ruoying, speed up. We’ll be able to get out soon!”
Aloy carefully supported Li Ruoying as they walked quickly into the wormhole. However, just as the two of them were about to reach the wormhole, a piece of stinky black mud splashed across it!
The wormhole that had been constantly spinning immediately stopped when it was touched by the mud. Countless shadows with ominous auras seeped out of the wormhole bit by bit.
“Not good!”
Aloy reacted quickly. With one thought, a thick ice wall appeared in front of her. Along with the sound of the air being torn apart, a long, solid shadow with a pitch-black tail slammed into the ice wall in front of her!
Crack! Crack!
The solid ice wall cracked in front of Aloy. Pale cold air was released from the cracks in the ice wall. The moment it came into contact with the pale cold air, the shadow was immediately frozen into a grotesque ice sculpture.
“Roar!”
The Ice Spirit next to Aloy vigilantly stretched out its claws and slammed them on the sculpture. In an instant, the black-colored ice that wrapped around shadow shattered into countless tiny pieces and scattered around the wormhole.
‘That was too close!’ Aloy sighed. ‘If I hadn’t reacted in time… we could have lost our lives at the hands of that shadow monster!
‘But could… can we still use this wormhole?’ Aloy frowned.
Even though she had already killed the shadow monster that had ambushed them, there was still some black mud on the surface of the wormhole. She did not know if Lear’s influence was still there.
…She might as well try it out.
At the thought of this, a piece of snow-white frost condensed on her hand. Aloy waved her arm and tried to throw the ice into the wormhole.
In an instant, shadow spikes from the wormhole suddenly shot out, ruthlessly crushing the ice block into pieces!
‘It seems we can’t use this wormhole.’ Aloy frowned and grabbed Li Ruoying tightly.
“What’s wrong?” Li Ruoying looked at Aloy with an uneasy expression.
“It’s nothing. Let’s go back first. I’ll send you outside later.”
After she said this, Aloy grabbed Li Ruoying’s hand and turned around to walk to Luo Ying.
“Why are you back?” Luo Ying looked at Aloy with a puzzled expression.
“The wormhole has been sealed off by that guy,” Aloy said and gestured to the wormhole with her chin.
At this moment, the wormhole was completely wrapped into a round ball by the dark shadows. Anything that dared to approach the wormhole, would be immediately attacked and torn into pieces by the shadows wrapped around it.
Lear leaned lazily over the Black Sun’s shoulder and slowly spoke to the people below, “People inside the protective barrier, listen up! Remember, from now on, you are all trapped in this secret realm. Those who want to go out must first obtain my permission. Otherwise, I shall…”
At this point, Lear suddenly dragged out the last syllable. In an instant, the shadows of everyone in the crowd around Li Yuan gathered together, forming a huge humanoid dark exotic beast.
The dark-attributed exotic beast opened its scarlet eyes, observed the surrounding students with malicious intent, and slowly raised its huge hand. The students retreated in fear. The dark-attributed exotic beast’s eyes flashed red, and it suddenly grabbed the neck of the student closest to it, hanging him high up in the air.
Lear looked at the wormhole not far away and raised his chin slightly. The huge shadow immediately understood and threw the student into the wormhole.
The moment it felt something approaching, the shadow in the wormhole immediately turned into thousands of sharp spikes, piercing the student straight through like a skewer.
Seeing the student’s tragic end, the remaining students became more terrified than before. Even Li Yuan, who fought the Shadow Wolves at the beginning, also hid to the side.
They all stayed away from the tall shadow in fear, afraid that they would be the next to be thrown.
“If you dare to go outside on your own, this will be your end.”
Lear looked at the people on the ground with satisfaction. It seemed that he had left enough of an impression on this group of people.
It just so happened that the shadow he had absorbed from the depths of the forest was not enough to maintain his appearance; it was time to go back and absorb another wave.
Lear rode on the Black Sun’s back and looked down at the crowd. “I’m tired now. I’ll be going back to rest soon. But before you leave, I shall hear whatever last words you might have.”
Among the students, someone immediately came to Lear and bowed respectfully, “My Lord, how do we get your permission to leave?”
“Didn’t I tell you before? You all didn’t hear me?”
Lear furrowed his brows in anger. After all this, they had not even heard him? When he just arrived, he already said that he wanted them to capture Shen Fei. In the end, not a single one of them actually listened?
“When you first came here, we were still…”
“What were you still doing?” Lear slapped Black Sun’s back and squinted his eyes in anger.
He did not have the time to talk to this student. If he continued to dawdle here, his face would melt.
“‘We didn’t hear it, didn’t hear it.’ Since you can’t hear me, you don’t need that ear anymore!”
Lear’s eyes glinted fiercely, and another dangerous red light flashed across the eyes of the Shadow Beast that stood in the center.
It raised its hands high and transformed them into a sharp sword. Then, it ruthlessly slashed at the student’s cheek.
“Ah!”
The student let out a blood-curdling screech, and the ear that had just been cut off fell onto the ground, bouncing twice before it stilled.
Lear, who was on the Black Sun’s back, made a gesture as though he could not be bothered to care.
“I hope you can remember it clearly now. As long as you do as I say, I’ll let you all go.”
