Rhodes and Catalina supported each other and walked out of the alley, but Camp No. 3 was in chaos. The former slaves who usually lived a peaceful life were now running around in panic, as if everything had returned to the scene of the riot in the Suero slave camp.
The fires at more than a dozen fire points were getting bigger and bigger, and gradually they tended to connect to one another. It's not that no one tried to put out the fire with water, but compared with the people who were incited to try to rob property, prepare to escape, or run around aimlessly, these were really a minority.
Catalina even saw some people rushing over to push and beat those who were putting out the fire.
"Those are Lorenzo's men." Rhode said in hatred. Originally, this operation was his best token of loyalty, but now the mission has completely failed and he was beaten half to death. Shame! The War God Temple regards honor as above all else. When it comes to hating Lorenzo and his accomplices, Rhode definitely hates Lorenzo more than anyone else around him. "We must kill those who are controlled by Lorenzo, so that the remaining people can be organized to put out the fire."
"Okay. Let's go our separate ways." Catalina used the little bit of Dou Qi she had left to make her lame leg more convenient, and was about to stop the two guys from beating people. But she heard two whooshing sounds from the side. Two stones wrapped in pure white Dou Qi flew towards the two attackers, smashing their heads into rotten watermelons.
Rhode weighed the two remaining stones in his hand and said, "Let's go together. What if there are other experts under Lorenzo mixed in with them? Besides, there are more than one or two spies in this camp. If you are ambushed, I won't be able to explain to Lord Luo Ling. Well, go and explain the situation to these people. They know who you are."
Catalina pulled off her wig, untied her green hair, and said to the terrified people, "I am Catalina from the camp management office. These troublemakers are spies planted by the enemy to incite riots in the camp. Master Luo Ling will be back soon to control the situation. Everyone, hurry up and put out the fire, otherwise our two months of hard work will be in vain."
"You can divide into groups according to your work units or the houses where you live. If you see anyone running around, stop them and add them to the group. If you see anyone causing trouble, we will deal with them!" Rhodes interrupted.
The residents who were fighting the fire felt relieved when they saw someone representing the authorities come out to stabilize the situation. However, a little boy asked, "But where is Ms. Luo Ling? Why hasn't she shown up yet? We sent people to look for her before, but no one came back."
This question made Catalina nervous. Yes, where is Luo Ling
—————————
Luo Ling was standing at the door of the clinic at this time. However, strangely, the area around her with a radius of about five meters was covered by a dark eggshell-shaped barrier.
When the camp became chaotic, she was the first to come out to stabilize the situation. But just as she stepped out of the clinic door, a strange feeling suddenly hit her, and the whole world seemed to be pulled away from her. Elena, who was only one step away from her, was getting farther and farther away from her. A few seconds later, she was trapped in this small space.
When Luo Ling realized her situation, she forced herself to calm down. She knew that everything was premeditated. The more so, the more she couldn't panic. It seemed that this was the first time that she had to use force to solve the problem. She needed to buy time to prepare defensive magic, so she spoke to the air.
"Come out. I know you are watching me in this dark curtain." Luo Ling did not look around, but kept staring at a certain place in front of her.
Seeing no response from the people around her, she added: "I believe you are going to do more than just trap me here. Whatever else you want to do, hiding in this dark place is useless."
"I advise you not to waste time. The people I arranged in the camp will find this place soon. I believe they can still cause you some trouble outside."
"How do you know that I will stay in this barrier with you?" A deep female voice came from all directions.
"You know women's intuition." Luo Ling smiled. "I can still sense that you are hesitating because what you want to do is different from what they told you to do."
“Humph, I don’t know what you are talking about,” said the woman.
"Let me guess." Luo Ling tilted her head slightly, as if thinking about something. "Your superior asked you to trap me for a while. But you... want to challenge my strength. Maybe you even want to kill me here."
Luo Ling was silent for a long time after she finished speaking. Just when she suspected that she had misjudged the other party's intention, several black rays suddenly came from different directions, piercing through the black curtain and stabbing at her. For a moment, Luo Ling's head, neck, heart and abdomen were targeted by the black rays, and several bloody holes were opened in an instant.
However, at this moment, four crystal ice shields suddenly appeared out of thin air around Luo Ling. The ice shields were very thin and almost completely transparent. Only the refraction of light could make people notice their existence. However, the ice shields that seemed to be shattered at the touch firmly blocked the black light. Only then did Luo Ling see clearly that the so-called black light was a feather. These feathers were slightly trembling in the ice shields, as if they were made of steel. Luo Ling's heart was beating wildly at this time, but she tried to force herself to look very confident.
The ice shield slowly rotated, and the feathers on it turned into light and returned to the barrier. Luo Ling saw a petite figure appear in front of her through the ice.
"Rada." Luo Ling said softly. She was really surprised that this inconspicuous little girl who was learning Chinese characters in her class was the mastermind behind the attack on her.
"Teacher Luo is indeed unfathomable." Lada was still wearing his usual work clothes, but he held a dagger in his hand. "A normal magician can't avoid such an attack. It seems that those people told me not to provoke you for a reason."
Luo Ling smiled faintly and said nothing, but the ice shield in front of her suddenly exploded, and countless pieces of ice shotguns rushed towards Lada. In an instant, Lada changed from a colorful person to a black shadow, and then flashed two meters away. She was about to fight back, but Luo Ling's ice shield exploded one after another. After flashing several times, she was forced to the edge of the barrier. She was squatting, and several blood grooves appeared on her limbs and face, which was quite embarrassing.
Feeling the hot blood on his face, Lada said angrily: "Teacher Luo, you really pissed me off this time."
"I just don't like children pretending to be profound. Lada, you look much cuter now." Luo Ling said lightly.
"I'm not a kid. I've been a killer for longer than you are." Lada snorted. "But you must have felt bad for that move just now. Look at the corner of your mouth."
Luo Ling wiped the corners of her mouth, leaving a few bright red streaks. How could she not know that these few quick and flat blows, although they hurt the opponent, also put a great burden on her body. However, she still urged her mental power, making the ice shields appear around her.
"I now understand why no one has ever seen you take action, even though you are such a powerful magician. It turns out you have a hidden injury." Rada turned into a shadow again, "Let me see where your limit is."
This time the black shadow did not just dodge, but pounced forward and stabbed Luo Ling's vitals with the dagger in his hand. At the same time, black light flew out from the darkness again and the black shadow besieged Luo Ling together.
The dagger in Lada's hand was much more powerful than Heimang's. The single-layer ice shield was immediately broken into several pieces under her full-strength attack. Then Heimang would sneak in through the gaps in the broken ice shield to attack Luo Ling. Luo Ling had to summon more ice shields to block the opponent's attack.
But she also found that once the shadow was about to attack, Lada had to get out of the shadow state of being immune to attack at that moment. So every time the shield shattered, she would not hesitate to blow up the fragments and launch a counterattack.
The two of them attacked at a very fast speed, and they seemed to be evenly matched, but Luo Ling knew in her heart that if she continued like this, she would fall sooner or later. Lada's injuries were basically flesh wounds, and even though there were blood spots all over the ground, she was not seriously injured. But her own body could no longer hold on.
As the price for opening the "Shadow Scroll of the Sea of Consciousness" before concentrating her mind, every time she uses her mental power, backlash will occur. The backlashed mental power "cuts" her brain and body like a sharp knife.
Although the damage caused by this invisible knife is not as good as that of a real sword, it penetrates into every cell. Once Luo Ling consumes a certain amount of mental power, it is more like fighting with herself than fighting the enemy.
After blasting the last ice shield, Lada also stopped. She also needed to catch her breath. The shadow fighting method just now was not easy for her. Her face was covered with small scratches and blood, but she looked excited, like a lioness who was about to succeed in hunting. She knew that if she continued to attack, Luo Ling could at least summon another round of ice shields, but if she relaxed, it would be too difficult to return to the state of fierce fighting before. Maybe the backlash of hidden injuries would make her unable to release any magic... Maybe the next attack would be the moment to succeed.
"You guessed right, Luo Ling. It was my idea to kill you." Blood flowed in Lada's mouth, making her laugh like a devil. "Do you know how disgusting it is when you tell those lies every day and scare those adults and kids around? When they look at you as a savior, I always wonder what this righteous savior will look like when he falls under my knife. Killing you hypocritical superiors is the most fun game for me."
Luo Ling lowered her head and knelt on one knee on the ground. She could no longer speak, but she still smiled with great effort. It was not because of the other person's words, but because she found that a seedling had grown out of the soil in front of her.
