WEAPON SELLER IN THE WORLD OF MAGIC

Chapter 330 Lin Xue And Allen’s First Quest (Part-6)



"Yao Ling? What the hell happened to you?" Lin Xue was surprised to see the bloodied figure of her loyal bodyguard. Without wasting any moment, she took out a recovery potion from her storage ring and fed the guy.

As his injuries were healed in a jiffy, Yao Ling once again urged her to escape from the forest, "You are in grave danger. The boss of the gang is far stronger than me. He isn't someone we can face head-on. We need to leave, right away."

Lin Xue's face stiffened at his words. She couldn't help but remember the words of the assassin who warned her that she will only leave the forest as a corpse.

Luckily for her, the culprit has already been apprehended and she completed the quest. So, there's no reason left for her to stay here and risk her life.

She turned her head to look at the android, who was looking at her and Yao Ling, "Allen, pick up the target. We are leaving right away."

Allen nodded and lifted the unconscious prisoner on his shoulder like a sack of rice and followed his only human friend.

They started walking toward the east, contrary toward the north where the nearest exit of the forest is located.

Yao Ling's plan is simple. He claimed that he found a hidden cave behind the waterfalls where they can hide for a few days and leave the place.

Lin Xue trusts him very much and she decided to follow his idea as she wasn't confident about taking on the enemy that even her bodyguard can't handle. As for Allen, his thoughts aren't complicated. Wherever Lin Xue goes, he will go there.

As a result, the group of four (including the unconscious culprit) traveled deep into the forest to reach the waterfall, going against the water flow of a nearby river.

The scenery wasn't that great to look at. It was a simple waterfall falling from 25-30 meters in height, rocks are everywhere and the water was quite muddy due to the heavy rainfall followed by landslides.

But then again, they aren't here for sightseeing. Hence, Lin Xue didn't pay much attention to the surroundings and followed her bodyguard.

By the time it was noon, they reached the cave behind the waterfall and entered the place. Yao Ling took a fire torch out of nowhere and asked for Allen's assistance.

As the android was lighting up the fire torch using his incineration skill, although controlled (1-circle realm power), Lin Xue commented, "You are pretty prepared for all kinds of situations, Uncle Yao."

"It's my job to keep you safe, young miss," replied Yao Ling as he started walking forward on an irregular narrow path, leading the others deep into the underground cavern, where there is enough sunlight coming through the small openings.

Lin Xue looked around and nodded in satisfaction. It seems like she liked it. She then asked Allen about his opinion.

Allen didn't think much of the place. He was usually comfortable with any kind of situation but since his friend asked him, he felt obligated to give a proper answer and scanned the surroundings.

It was at that moment he realized something and he immediately grabbed Lin Xue's hand, pulling toward him and embracing her. She was taken aback by his sudden actions. As for the captured Yan Huian, he was thrown aside.

At the same time, her heartbeat spiked up to the peak and she tried to free herself while scolding him, "what the hell are you doing, Allen? Leave me." 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚w𝚎𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝘦l.c૦𝐦

Allen calmly answered as he looked at Yao Ling, "Sister Lin, he appears to be under someone's control and this cave was filled with several traps."

"Trap?" Lin Xue furrowed her brows and stared at her calm-looking bodyguard. She found it unbelievable that someone of Yao Ling's caliber can even get hypnotized but she cannot ignore Allen's words either.

Then, she remembered how they were dragged to this place, and she realized that she made a mistake.

No, more than that, she also blamed herself in her heart for not realizing it sooner and slightly blamed Allen in her head for being so careless. After all, if Allen has the power to sense such a change in Yao Ling, he should have done it before.

But now, they were already in the trap. Taking a deep breath, she then asked, "Do you know a way to free him, Allen?"

Before Allen answered, Yao Ling quickly opened his mouth, feigning ignorance, "Mr. Allen, don't speak such bullshit. It's not funny."

"Hmm?" Lin Xue momentarily shifted her attention toward him. Walking slowly towards the both of them, he continued, "I'm at the elementary stage of Exalt realm (low-7-circle). It's impossible for me to get hypnotized by anyone under the legendary realm. I really wonder why Mr. Allen wanted to sow discord between me and young miss."

When he was finished, he was only a few feet away from Lin Xue, and he was about to unleash a skill to speed up and strike Lin Xue's neck within a fraction of a second.

However, Lin Xue acted quickly as soon as she heard those words. She summoned her semi-divine sword and poured her lightning attribute power into the blade along with her ether energy. "Even at his death door, Uncle Yao never going to reveal his real cultivation, especially in the presence of someone like Allen, who wasn't trusted by him. And Allen wasn't the type to prank around. So, who the hell are you?"

Yao Ling halted in his footsteps as he got caught, "well, it looks like I could no longer fool you."

He then straightened his back and put back his hands, introducing himself, "People call me the Ghost of the Qing. Anyways, one of you is going to die and the other will soon forget it."

As soon as he ended the words, two of the seals were activated and placed around. Both of them created a two-layer strong wall kind of barrier to block the only open escape route. The only other way to escape is to destroy the ceiling while defending oneself against the collapse of the cavern and also the onslaught of puppetized Yao Ling.

Even a fool knows what to choose. Lin Xue went into battle stance and said to the android, "Allen, get ready to battle."

Allen then replied, "Sister Lin, I have yet to give my answer to your earlier question."

As Lin Xue glanced at him, he continued, "I only know one way to free him from the hypnotic state. It is by killing him."

"No," screamed the Lin Clan's heiress. Yao Ling is her trusted bodyguard who was protecting her since the day she was born. She cannot kill him unless there is no other choice, "We have to knock him out. We can then tie him up and treat him at the Imperial City."

"And I will sit back and do nothing, right?" The enemy mocked them in a sarcastic tone. He further gave a bit of warning, "Before worrying about this fellow, worry about your lives."

"Allen, let's go. Use anything. Just don't take his life." Lin Xue dashed forward at full speed and she was followed closely by Allen. Due to the small distance, it only took them a second to reach the target. She took the initiative to attack.

Yao Ling also activated the 'Dash' skill in time and turned into a blur.

But, in the next second, a painful scream escaped behind Lin Xue (right in front of Allen) as two laser beams unleashed from Allen and struck his abdomen.
