Chapter 226: Chapter 207 Andre Unexpectedly Appears
"Black Tortoise Seal? What is that?"
The crowd asked in confusion.
Dongfang Jing suddenly spoke up:
"We absolutely cannot give the Black Tortoise Seal to him."
The black-robed figure acted without warning, grabbing a lizardman in his hand:
"Crack!"
In an instant, its neck was twisted, killing it immediately.
The other lizardmen saw this and fled in terror.
However, their way out was blocked by a barrier, forcing them to run frantically into the nearby buildings.
Before long, only Lin Yi and his group were left with the black-robed man on the long street.
The black-robed man then sneered:
"If you won’t hand it over, I’ll kill all the lizardmen here right in front of you."
He then looked at Lin Yi:
"What do you think?"
Although his facial expression couldn’t be seen, everyone could feel his blatant indifference to life and his mockery of Lin Yi from his words.
Perhaps he knew that Lin Yi could resurrect even after dying, so he couldn’t do anything to Lin Yi and could only use these lizardmen to threaten him.
If it were in the past, Tian Ci and the others would have scoffed at the black-robed man’s actions.
Because threatening a player with the lives of those lizardmen NPCs is absurd and laughable, right?
But after just experiencing the Cloth incident, their mindset was undergoing a significant change.
These lizardmen were indeed NPCs, but at this moment, in their eyes, the lives of these lizardmen were exchanged with Cloth’s sacrifice.
Even though they were merely NPCs, at this moment, because of Cloth’s actions, these NPCs were given a special significance.
If their involvement would cause harm to these lizardmen, what would be the point of Cloth’s sacrifice?
To be honest, even for Tian Ci himself, it was the first time he was moved by a game character.
If possible, he wanted to save these innocent lizardmen.
Yet, looking at the opponent’s level of 60, everyone felt a wave of helplessness in their hearts.
At this point, they could only turn their gaze toward Lin Yi.
It seemed that every time they encountered an unsolvable problem, Lin Yi could bring them unexpected "miracles". Would it be the same this time?
In the Mercenary Corps channel:
Feng Hua (Mercenary Corps leader): "@Babylon @Aiborn."
System: Message delivery failed.
Lin Yi looked at the barrier, could it be that this barrier was isolating everything inside?
"Well, have you thought it through?"
The black-robed figure asked Lin Yi again:
"Next will be two, then four, eight... until I kill all the lizardmen here."
Looking at the lizardman who had died miserably at his feet, he couldn’t believe it had escaped the Demon Race’s massacre only to still meet its end.
Who knows whether this was its luck or misfortune.
Staring at the black-robed figure before him, Lin Yi was utterly speechless and helpless.
He just couldn’t understand why he constantly encountered such overwhelmingly strong enemies that he couldn’t resist.
What surprised Lin Yi more was that the Black Tortoise Seal would invite such a deadly disaster upon him, something he couldn’t quite comprehend:
Was there a special function of the Black Tortoise Seal that he wasn’t aware of?
Even disregarding whether the Black Tortoise Seal had other hidden functions, given that it was related to the item in the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Yi couldn’t possibly hand over the Black Tortoise Seal.
And to watch the lizardmen die miserably because of him was something Lin Yi was equally unwilling to do.
This dilemma left Lin Yi feeling incredibly frustrated.
Lin Yi suddenly looked at Dongfang Jing:
"Should we give it?"
Lin Yi felt that Dongfang Jing certainly knew at least as much as he did.
So Lin Yi was curious about what she would do in this situation.
Unexpectedly, Dongfang Jing shook her head and said:
"We can’t give it! If we do, even more people will die."
Everyone looked in surprise at Dongfang Jing, who had just left the Newbie Village, and then at Lin Yi.
It seemed that Lin Yi’s sister wasn’t as simple as they had imagined.
"Don’t give it?"
Suddenly, two lizardmen burst through the windows of a building beside the street, falling at the black-robed figure’s feet, wailing and crying:
"Don’t kill me, I don’t want to die."
"Please, save me, don’t kill me."
...
Seeing the despair on the faces of the two lizardmen, just as the black-robed man sneered, about to strike, Lin Yi let out a soft sigh:
"You brought this on yourself."
In an instant, a scroll appeared in Lin Yi’s hand.
The black-robed man’s instincts sensed danger, and he angrily shouted at Lin Yi:
"What are you doing? Stop it."
He tried to stop Lin Yi, but unfortunately, it was too late.
Lin Yi opened the scroll and tossed it into the air, a chant echoed from his mouth:
"Sealing Gate: Opening"
A strong light emitted from the scroll, illuminating the black-robed man and fixing him in place.
The black-robed figure, who was just arrogant moments ago, was suddenly scared out of his wits:
"No, stop, I am of the Black..."
But before he could finish speaking, his body was sucked into the scroll.
And the scroll then reverted to its original form, falling from the sky.
Lin Yi reached out and took it in his hand, and the information on the scroll became:
[Space-Time Seal]
Sealed target: ???Lv60.
Can be unsealed.
Usable times: 0
After the black-robed figure was sealed, the barrier enveloping the Lizardmen village also dissipated along with it.
The two rescued lizardmen, overwhelmed with excitement, knelt down to Lin Yi to express their gratitude:
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Thank you, mage, for saving our lives, thank you!"
...
Lin Yi quickly helped up the two lizardmen, who were over level 30, and said:
"It was nothing, no need for this, please get up."
Very soon, when all the lizardmen learned that the black-robed figure was ’eliminated’ by Lin Yi, the streets became crowded once again.
All the lizardmen quickly came to the street to express their gratitude to Lin Yi and others.
At this moment, another spatial rift appeared above the village.
Shuai Diao Zha was dumbfounded at this sight:
"Again!"
However, the next moment, Andre, the Vice City Lord of Black Tortoise City, stepped out of it.
As for Andre, Shuai Diao Zha and the others were not strangers.
Seeing it was one of their own, Shuai Diao Zha couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief:
"Scared me to death."
Among the lizardmen, someone recognized Andre’s identity and quickly shouted:
"This is the Vice City Lord of Black Tortoise City, everyone do not worry, we’ve been rescued."
Because Andre and these lizardmen belong to the same era, and Andre survived the anti-demon war and lived until now.
So, it is reasonable for the lizardmen to recognize him.
However, among them, perhaps only Lin Yi’s expression showed heaviness.
Looking at Andre, who was surrounded by lizardmen and had a friendly face, a doubt inevitably arose in Lin Yi’s heart: Could this be a coincidence?
After calming down the emotions of those lizardmen, Andre walked towards Lin Yi and said:
"I heard you caught the black-robed figure?"
Saying this, without waiting for Lin Yi to speak, he reached out his hand to Lin Yi:
"Hand him over to me, I’ll deal with it."
Lin Yi glanced at Andre’s outstretched hand in front of him, then looked at Andre and shook his head:
"I will hand him over to the City Lord of Babylon for handling, no need for your concern."
"What?"
A flicker of killing intent flashed in Andre’s eyes, and this scene was precisely caught by Lin Yi, who had been watching his reactions.
Seeing this, Lin Yi became more firm in his own suspicions.
Andre seemed to realize his loss of composure, then quickly re-adopted a friendly expression and said:
"But I won’t let you, the contributors, suffer any loss."
Then Andre looked at Lin Yi and slowly said:
"Hand him over to me for disposal, and I’ll give each of you a legendary equipment as a reward, how about it?"
Legendary equipment?
Tian Ci and the others couldn’t help but have their eyes light up!
There are ten people here.
One legendary equipment each, that’s ten legendary equipment, such generosity.
This Vice City Lord is truly lavish.
Everyone thought this was the final reward for this mission.
Just when everyone was eagerly anticipating what legendary equipment they would get, Lin Yi bluntly refused:
"Sorry, I think it would be better for the City Lord of Babylon to handle this matter."
Refused, Lin Yi actually refused!
This was something no one expected.
Shuai Diao Zha and others were stunned, that was ten pieces of legendary equipment!
They just refused like that??
But when they noticed Lin Yi’s expression, they dare not say anything more and could only secretly feel the pain.
"What, Vice City Lord Andre, are you going to block our way out?"
Facing Andre blocking his way, Lin Yi said without fear.
Andre hesitated for a moment, but then made a gesture of invitation,
"Of course not, please."
Lin Yi directly bypassed Andre and walked towards the Teleportation Array, saying:
"To Cyan Dragon City."
