Chapter 140
Because they were releasing the hostages in mid-air, the process was rather complicated. Firstly, because Mu Jiao had no natural abilities, she had to use protective gear. Otherwise, with her weak constitution, she wouldn't have survived long in this extremely cold and oxygen-deficient high-altitude environment.
So amid waves of urging, "Mu Jiao" transformed by Jing Li was "pushed" out of the mecha cockpit in a huge transparent spherical protective device in full view of everyone.
The protective ball is a relatively common aerial protection device that can largely withstand various extreme environments in the air and float in space. The protective ball is controlled by Jing Li and it floats steadily in the air as soon as it leaves the warehouse.
At that moment, everyone outside saw "Mu Jiao" inside the protective sphere, her eyes blindfolded, unable to see clearly. She struggled to stand up, but due to the relatively smooth curved surface inside the sphere, it was impossible for her to stand firmly. After trying several times, "Mu Jiao" was finally exhausted and could only sit panting and curled up in the transparent sphere, looking extremely pitiful...
At this moment, the real Mu Jiao was watching the performance of the "fake Mu Jiao" in the mecha, burning with anger!!!
"Is anyone here? Where is this place? Help me! It's so dark..."
Although the sounds inside the mecha couldn't be heard, the sounds outside could be heard clearly, so she could hear a weak cry for help from a voice exactly like hers. Unsurprisingly, Mu Jiao's face darkened even further. This guy is addicted to acting, right?! The action performance wasn't enough, she even had to use her voice to act pitiful!!!
Mu Jiao was furious, but at the same time she couldn't stop worrying in her heart, praying over and over again that everyone would not be fooled, would not be fooled by this "snake-faced man"!
Now she seemed to have understood what the "snake-faced man" meant by doing this. He wanted to provoke a fight between Brother Qi and Yin Jiuyuan, to make them both lose, so that he could take the opportunity to reap the benefits.
This guy is so insidious. He had no intention of letting me go from the beginning to the end. The previous fake negotiations were just to delay time.
Considering his innate ability to change into someone else's appearance and stature at will, perhaps his motives for saving her and Ah Ping were not pure, and he might have been secretly targeting them for a long time! Although she still didn't know why, it was really terrifying to think about it...
…
Although Mu Jiao prayed in her heart that everyone would not be fooled by this "snake-faced man", unfortunately, none of the gods heard her prayers.
"Snake-Faced Man" - Jing Li seemed to have successfully deceived everyone with his identical figure, appearance and voice to Mu Jiao, plus his excellent acting skills.
Watching his performance, Mu Jiao, who had been paying attention to Jing Li, even felt as if he had become another version of herself. His movements and demeanor were exactly the same as hers, perfectly executed.
This shows how superb Jing Li's acting skills are. After a while, there was movement outside.
…
"Jiuyuan, this is Mu Jiao for sure."
Because it is a cumulus cloud layer, the propagation of light here is greatly affected, and it can only be detected through instruments. Judging from the figure and appearance of the person in the protective ball, it must be Mu Jiao.
"In that case, let's begin!" Yin Jiuyuan also stared at the blindfolded "Mu Jiao" curled up in the protective ball below. From time to time, he could hear "Mu Jiao"'s helpless cries for help. This was her, no doubt.
Following Yin Jiuyuan's order, the troops in ambush outside immediately began to move...
At the same time, Huo Qi was also looking at the "Mu Jiao" in the protective ball below. At first, he was excited and happy, but after watching for a while, a trace of doubt flashed through Huo Qi's heart, and then his expression became cold and stern. The thing in the ball was not his Jiao Jiao at all!
"Master, Yin Jiuyuan has already made his move. He's divided into three groups, and one has already begun surrounding us. As you predicted, he intends to attack us all together. According to the plan, we must rescue Miss Mu Jiao first to seize the initiative."
"Xikai Epeizhen is injured. Why don't I take people to rescue Miss Mu Jiao on his behalf?" Ze Shiyi was a little anxious. The master was slow to give orders, but Yin Jiuyuan had already taken the lead. They were already at a disadvantage, and any further delay would only make them more passive.
"I'll go myself. This starship is now fully under your command. Lead these people away as planned." If the person in the protective sphere wasn't Jiaojiao, then his Jiaojiao was probably still in the mecha. Huo Qi Rex decided to go and retrieve his Jiaojiao himself.
"Master, how can this be possible!!! Master, let me go. Don't worry, I have signed a military order and will definitely bring Miss Mu Jiao back safely."
According to the previous plan, His Highness should have been in charge of the overall situation on the starship. But now His Highness wants to personally rescue Miss Mu Jiao. What if something dangerous happens? What if His Highness accidentally uses his innate power? ...How can this be allowed? His Highness's body...
"I'm not discussing with you, Ze Shiyi. This is an order." Huo Qi stood up and looked at Ze Shiyi with a serious face.
Although Mu Jiao was kidnapped and not with Huo Qi during this period, she had previously taught Xiye and Xikai.E Peizhen several medicated dishes. Huo Qi needed to drink medicinal food regularly, so after Mu Jiao was kidnapped, Xiye and Xikai.E Peizhen prepared medicinal food for Huo Qi according to what Mu Jiao taught them.
Although the medicinal diet was slow to heal, it was still effective after such a long time. As a patient, Huo Qi knew his physical condition better than anyone else. Now, as long as he grasped the right balance, nothing would go wrong.
The enemy is now outnumbered, and even though the current geographical situation gives us a certain advantage, if we don't manage it well, we will easily be hurt. Today, he must find Jiaojiao and bring her back personally.
"Yes, master, please be careful." When Ze Shiyi met his master's eyes, he knew that his master had made up his mind. He could only reply stiffly with red eyes.
"Yes. You must strictly follow the original plan and use this starship to confuse the enemy, waiting for an opportunity to escape with the remaining personnel on board. Don't linger in the battle, and don't even think about rescuing me. I will notify you as soon as I am out of danger."
"Yes, Master." Ze Shiyi lowered his head and replied in a muffled voice. It was rare for the Master to tell him so much, but after that, he was going to take risks and not allow him to accompany him. He even told him not to wait or provide support. How could Ze Shiyi be happy?
Huo Qi brought fifteen disciples with him on this mission, ten of whom were sent to rescue the "fake Mu Jiao" in the protective ball.
Of course, knowing that there was a dummy inside the protective ball, Huo Qi had already ordered the ten people to pretend to rescue the person. They didn't need to fight for their lives, but just needed to delay time as much as possible.
