Chapter 506: Meat on the Chopping Board
Mary Gallovy suddenly spoke in a chilling tone, and Li Qian assumed she was merely voicing the rumors she had heard.
But Li Qian was different; he hadn't forgotten that this meeting with Mary Gallovy was intentional, and he knew why.
By now, even the most oblivious person would have realized something was amiss with Mary Gallovy.
Grandmother Gu must have sensed the problem with her, hence the secret message, urging him to accept her invitation.
Li Qian even suspected that at this very moment, Grandmother Gu was observing the scene from somewhere nearby.
Although he was aware of the hidden protection for himself and Li Lanying, Li Qian remained vigilant.
He took a step forward, discreetly positioning himself behind Li Lanying, who was slightly confused but didn't say a word.
Li Qian struggled to control the muscles on his face, now certain that the Mary Gallovy before him was definitely suspicious.
He tried to stall for time, "Mary, those are just rumors. The Dragon Ink Tree isn't a super being; how could it possibly have such a bizarre trait?"
Mary Gallovy turned to Li Qian, her smile becoming even more eerie, "Whether it's true or not, why not give it a try?"
As she spoke, her face began to contort, and a faint red glow emanated from her eyes, giving her a creepy appearance.
At this point, Li Lanying finally realized something was wrong. She looked at Li Qian, "Li Qian, what's going on here?"
Li Qian shook his head helplessly, "Isn't it obvious? She wants to use us to water these Dragon Ink Trees."
By now, Li Lanying understood the situation, but she found it hard to believe.
"You're indeed smart," Mary Gallovy chuckled, "You must have noticed something was off earlier. With such intelligence and talent, it's no wonder the Saint Envoy of the God Sect is determined to eliminate you at all costs."
"With such talent, if you continue to grow, the God Sect won't hesitate to get rid of you," Mary Gallovy spoke with venomous intent, and Li Lanying was shocked by her words.
"Mary, you're a heretic!" Li Lanying pointed shakily at Mary Gallovy.
Li Qian sighed, "I thought after the previous attack, the Blood Demon Sect wouldn't target Mary Gallovy again. But they went against their own principles, attacking Mary twice. It's unforgivable!"
Thinking of the Blood Demon Sect's actions, Li Qian's anger burned within him, and he clenched his teeth.
Although Li Qian didn't have romantic feelings for Mary Gallovy, they were classmates, and she was an innocent victim of circumstance. It was hard not to feel sympathy for her.
Li Qian's gaze turned cold as he looked at Mary Gallovy, who was laughing at him.
"Not bad, not bad," Mary Gallovy said, "Your angry expression is quite amusing."
"By the way, I'll tell you a secret," Mary Gallovy continued, "If you can defeat me within ten minutes, you might be able to save Mary."
As she spoke, several companion beasts appeared around her, and a semicircular energy shield rose up, covering an area of about a hundred meters in diameter.
There was no doubt that she had sealed off the area, trapping Li Qian and Li Lanying like turtles in a jar.
Without hesitation, Li Qian summoned his own companion beasts—Qizi, Xiao Liu, and Mao Mao—all with great potential. The only issue was their strength, as none of them had reached the Overlord rank yet.
As for Mao Mao, despite having a rare attribute, her current combat power was still inferior to Qizi and Xiao Liu.
After summoning his three companion beasts, Li Qian contacted Wu You in the Third Secret Realm through psychic empathy.
Inside the Third Secret Realm, Wu You received Li Qian's message, and her wings quickly unfurled. She took off, flying towards the location where Li Qian was, unable to communicate verbally but sensing the urgency through their soul contract.
Indeed, Li Qian was relying on his own abilities to resolve the situation, without fully trusting the hidden protection.
"Step back!" Li Qian ordered, sensing the four terrifying companion beasts summoned by Mary Gallovy.
Li Lanying heard his command and reluctantly retreated behind Li Qian, aware of her own limitations.
She summoned her companion beast to guard her side, knowing she would only hinder Li Qian if she joined the fight.
Li Qian's gaze was intense, focusing on the four companion beasts summoned by 'Mary Gallovy', each with a bloodthirsty glow in their eyes, a frightening sight.
But the most crucial aspect was that Li Qian could clearly sense that these beasts were not only in an abnormal state but also at the peak of the Overlord rank.
Li Qian knew that with three against four, and a gap in their power levels, Qizi and the others had no chance of winning.
Without hesitation, Li Qian played his trump card, activating Protector One. As the button was pressed, the pale blue energy shield of Protector One enveloped Li Qian and Li Lanying, ensuring their safety.
Li Qian felt it unnecessary to use the Golden Radiance Sword; it wasn't the right time yet.
As the pale blue shield appeared, Li Qian felt a sense of security, but he was puzzled by Mary Gallovy's lack of reaction.
It was as if she had anticipated Li Qian's move, and she seemed unconcerned, as if Li Qian was already meat on the chopping board.
