Peerless Allure: Nine Series Summoner

Chapter 296 Can't Get Out!

As the ice-cracking crane hovered at low altitude again and again, more and more stone monsters were hit hard by the liquid crystal ball and could no longer move.

Seeing this, the members of the mercenary team couldn't help but quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

But this is not the end.The remaining stone monsters became more and more manic when they saw their companions being captured.

They gave up their plan to target the rough-skinned and thick-skinned purple-winged crystal lions, and instead attacked the mercenaries frantically.

After the fierce battle just now, the mercenaries were already at the end of their battles.Facing such a fierce attack from the stone monsters, they couldn't resist at all.

Ling Lan secretly thought "Oops", turned around and joined the battle again, to protect the mercenaries who were being slaughtered, and at the same time, he did not forget to give the next step to the free Purple Wing Crystal Lion.

"Stupid lion, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and smash these ice sculptures with your lightning fire!"

"Ouch-"

Called a "silly lion" by Ling Lan, the Purple Winged Crystal Lion let out a bit of aggrieved howl, but was unambiguous under its feet.

In the next second, the dreamlike huge wings spread out, and the purple-winged crystal lion soared into the sky, looking down at the ice lumps next to each other in the yard.

A round, condensed lightning ball containing powerful lightning energy was spit out from its mouth, and it accurately hit the most concentrated "ice sculptures" in the courtyard.

Then came the second one, and the third one... The Purple Winged Crystal Lion seemed to regard this as a game and enjoyed it.

Accompanied by the deafening "bang" explosions one after another, the stone and ice sculptures in the courtyard turned into dust in an instant, floating in the air.

……

When the smoke cleared, Ling Lan and the members of the mercenary team were in a panic.

Compared to the mercenaries who were staggering and slumped on the ground, Ling Lan was better, at least she could still sit against the wall.

After completing the urgent task, the Ice Cracking Crane and the Purple Wing Crystal Lion returned to Ling Lan's animal bag to recuperate.The purple-winged crystal lion had a lot of hair stripped off by those stone monsters, but it made Ling Lan feel bad.

The mercenaries were lying on the ground, panting heavily.The fierce fight with the stone monster is comparable to a difficult mercenary mission.

Fortunately, Ling Lan was with them this time, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

——Ling Lan and her contracted beasts won so hard, and everyone was seriously injured. Without Ling Lan's help, it's hard to say whether they will live or die at this time!
Thinking of it this way, everyone couldn't help being afraid again.

In a courtyard that looks so unpretentious on the outside, there is such a sinister murderous intent hidden.

Before entering here, who would have thought that in this abandoned yard, there would be many stone monsters, and they almost killed them?

The mercenaries couldn't help turning their attention to the direction of the palaces of the imperial city - they didn't know what kind of cruel and vicious traps were set up in those luxurious palaces standing in the center of the city.

Fortunately, they followed Ling Lan closely and chose this most common street to hunt for treasure.

I'm really sweating for those mystic masters who ventured into the main road and rushed to the big palace. I don't know if they can come out alive.

At this moment, the mercenaries have already made a decision in their hearts - they will leave here after sweeping this most plain-looking street.

Although inheriting treasures is good, you have to see if you have that kind of blessing.What's the point of filling every storage bag full and taking it out dead?
The members of the mercenary squad are very self-aware.With their ability, it is Ling Lan's blessing to be able to harvest so many rare treasures. If they are not satisfied, then they are greedy.

And from ancient times to the present, all greedy people have not ended well.

"Miss Ling, you saved us again."

The young mercenary wanted to stand up and thank Ling Lan solemnly, but the wound on his body was in severe pain. Just saying these two words made him gasp several times.

Ling Lan nodded and didn't say much. "This place is weird, everyone, hurry up and adjust your physical condition, we have to leave here as soon as possible." If we stay any longer, we may encounter some danger again.

Everyone also had no objection to Ling Lan's decision.After this incident, they were even more convinced of Ling Lan—it turned out that following her was always right.

Fortunately, for this treasure hunt, everyone prepared a lot of pills and potions in advance, and carried them with them, so they would be prepared.

After hearing Ling Lan's words, everyone was not impressed. Whether it was healing pills or potions for replenishing profound energy, they worked both ways, and combined with meditation and breathing adjustment, trying to restore their bodies to their best condition in the shortest possible time.

……

Different from those mystic masters from rich families who grew up soaked in honey pots, the members of the mercenary team are all real men who have completed difficult mercenary tasks alone.

The body that has been tempered by wind and frost is naturally not so delicate.Therefore, after taking the elixir and potion for half an hour, plus meditating to adjust breath, most of the mental and physical strength of everyone recovered.

Not daring to waste any more time, the group hurried back along the way they came, all the way back to the Golden Square in front of the city gate.

Seeing that the exit was just ahead, the members of the mercenary team, including Ling Lan, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a little smile on their faces.

However, the next moment, everyone couldn't laugh anymore.

Because they saw with their own eyes that their companion was bounced back by something invisible when he was about to walk out of the stone city gate!

Chen Erhu was bounced back several meters by this invisible force, and when he finally stopped walking, he covered his forehead in pain.

"Hey! It hurts!"

An ominous premonition flashed in everyone's heart, but they couldn't completely give up without verifying it for themselves.

——However, when the members of the mercenary team stepped forward and tried one after another, none of them could pass through the city gate and walk out from here.

The mercenaries couldn't help but feel dejected—they thought that if they defeated the stone monster, the road ahead would be smooth, but they never expected to encounter such bad luck again!
I'm afraid this golden city was a trap from the very beginning.Use visible treasures and wealth to lure passers-by into the city to search for treasures, and then block the way out, turning treasure hunters into funeral objects of this abandoned city...

The mercenaries sat blankly on the ground, ashamed.

Only Ling Lan walked forward quietly, carefully examining the invisible barrier that suddenly appeared at the gate of the city.

She didn't know whether this barrier existed before they came in, or it appeared quietly after everyone entered here.
