Chapter 1228 The Devil’s Palm Zone
,!
How dare someone attack the Phoenix Apostle? !
Although they were well prepared before participating in the trial.
But he couldn't hold back so early and chose to take action right now, which still surprised Cyclops.
In his expectation, even if he chose to take action against them, it would be right.
"Who is it? Get out of here!"
The water that had not yet reached his mouth was spilled, which made Colossus very angry. He glanced around viciously, and the Phoenix Power around him burned, becoming more intense with his anger, so that the air was boiling with anxiety.
"Calm down, Piotr!"
Cyclops yelled loudly: "Don't be impulsive, the other party is trying to lure you into action and violate the trial rules!"
As soon as these words came out, Colossus calmed down instantly. He had seen those who violated the rules, as if they were hit by a power hammer, and their whole bodies turned into thin meat patties. He didn't want to look like that.
"Thank you, Scott." Colossus broke into a cold sweat and said with a clear heart: "If you hadn't reminded me, I might have been fooled."
"Next, what should we do? Are we going to find the attacker and fight back?" Storm stared at the surroundings vigilantly to prevent that situation from happening again. After all, they didn't carry much water. If they lost it all, it would be a long time. kind of hard.
"No need, let's just move on."
Cyclops sneered, scanning the surrounding sand dunes, and amplified his voice as if deliberately: "The guy who only hides in the corner and makes sneak attacks will not break the rules and attack us. As long as we pay more attention next time, he will It won’t succeed.”
Colossus and Storm frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with this decision.
In their view, since someone dares to provoke, they must retaliate. Otherwise, how can others be in awe?
"And, as long as the next attack appears..."
Cyclops saw the two people's thoughts, chuckled, and lowered his voice: "If we touch him intentionally, he will be recognized as an attacker by the rules. When the time comes, we don't need to take action, and he will naturally be crushed into one." A meat pie!"
"I see, hahaha, this is indeed a good idea!"
Storm's eyes lit up and she smiled: "We can destroy the enemy without us taking action."
However, at this moment, another arrow missed.
And the arrow misses its target,
It was the water bag behind Hope. The other party seemed to want to break all their water bags and make them lose their supplies.
"Sure enough, just as Mr. Scott said, they were fooled!" Hope suppressed her excitement, turned around to avoid the water bag, and then took the initiative to hit the incoming arrow.
The missing arrowhead was carved with exquisite and complicated patterns, like a work of art.
The moment he saw those complicated lines, Cyclops suddenly shrank and shouted: "Get out of the way, Hope, don't touch!"
But his reminder was still a step too late.
At the same time as she heard the sound, Hope had already taken the initiative to touch the arrow. In order to ensure that the opponent would be recognized as an attack, she deliberately let the sharp arrow cut through the palm of her hand and leave a gash.
The next moment, the void suddenly twisted.
With a look of astonishment on his face, Hope's whole body was swallowed up by the twisted void, and the nearby sand disappeared.
Just like that, under their noses, a Phoenix Apostle was plotted and disappeared.
Swish, swish, swish—!
Three more arrows missed, shot from behind the dunes.
With Hope's lessons learned, the Phoenix Apostles no longer dared to attack directly, and had to dodge one by one.
But even though the reaction was fast, the arrow missed extremely quickly, and still cut through Storm's face, leaving a gash several centimeters long, and blood slowly dripped down her cheek.
"What happened?!" Colossus said with a look of horror on his face, "Why wasn't he punished by the rules? Why did Hope suddenly disappear? What on earth did this guy... do!
! "
"No...impossible!"
Storm touched her cheek and looked puzzled: "Why is he not punished by the rules?!"
"Calm down, everyone!"
Cyclops's face was as gloomy as water, and the veins on his forehead popped out, and he gritted his teeth and said: "There must be some rules that we don't know about yet, and that guy took advantage of this!"
"Since that guy launched an attack, can we fight back?"
Colossus could hardly contain his anger anymore. He clenched his fists and whispered: "No matter where he is hiding, just blast this area to pieces, right?!"
"no!"
Veins popped up on Cyclops's forehead, and he growled: "Before we understand the rules, if we act rashly, we will probably be punished by the rules!"
"Are we just watching?" Storm said impatiently, "I don't know where they took Hope. We have to find her back as soon as possible!"
"I know! I know everything!"
Cyclops is almost reaching the limit of his patience, but as a leader, he must remain calm.
What he has to do now is to analyze why the other party ignores the rules!
Why attack here specifically?
Could it be... because of the special nature of this area?
Cyclops thought for a moment and decided to test it. If he guessed wrong, his life might be at risk.
But in this case, as a leader, he must set an example.
"I'm pretending to be a ghost, get out of here!"
The scarlet light flashed under Cyclops's goggles, and it seemed that it would trigger an amazing ray at any time: "Since you chose to attack us here, it must be for a special reason, such as...this place is not bound by rules!"
"Hehehe... who knows?"
The one hiding at least three hundred feet away, in the corner of the shadow behind the huge sand dune shelter, let out an intriguing sneer: "Maybe it's for other reasons, maybe. Do you dare to attack me?"
boom--!
Before he finished speaking, a beam of scarlet light tore through the void.
The terrifying energy erupted into an astonishing air wave, shattering the entire sand dune. Hundreds of tons of sand were lifted into the sky, revealing a huge pit, emitting scorching and boiling heat waves.
"It seems that my guess was correct."
Cyclops said coldly: "Sure enough, it's because this area will not be bound by rules."
"Tsk...you are so brave."
The shadow hiding behind the dunes now revealed its true appearance, and it was Doctor Strange.
He patted the sand and dust on his robe, with a hint of gloominess on his face: "If I guess wrong, you will be crushed directly into a pulp. Even the power of the Phoenix cannot save you. "
"As expected, it's you...Stephen Strange, the Supreme Mage."
Laser's eyes were as gloomy as water, and he said: "Where did you take Hope? And what is going on in this area? Tell me honestly, and I can spare your life!"
"This area? Oh, you mean the 'Devil's Palm Area', right?"
Doctor Strange put on a subtle smile and grinned: "The Devil's Palm area is said to be the place where the saint's body fell. Only this area can cover the eyes of the 'angel', so the rules will naturally not take effect here."
"The Devil's Palm Zone? The Saint's Remains?"
The Phoenix Apostles, who heard this for the first time, had confused expressions on their faces.
"Haha, forget it, let me tell you."
Doctor Strange spread his hands, slowly walked towards them, and said with a smile: "The real purpose of the 'Holy Grail Trial' is to use us to collect the remains of saints scattered across the United States!"
...
Right now, in a hotel somewhere in New York.
Lord frowned slightly, looked towards the west, and said thoughtfully: "Just for a moment, my 'eyesight' was obscured by some kind of force. Is it because of the saint's body?"
"It shouldn't be wrong. uu read books"
Michael came behind him, gently squeezed his shoulders, and said: "Only the power of a saint can cover your omniscient and omnipotent eyes."
"Haha, I didn't expect that someone would find out so soon."
Luo De smiled faintly and said: "But now that he has discovered it, that guy probably can't sit still."
"You mean, she is inside the Trialist?"
Michael naturally knew who the ‘guy’ Lord was talking about was.
"Yeah, definitely there."
Lord nodded and said, "It's just that she hid it very well. I haven't found out who it is yet."
"Aren't you worried that she will ruin the plan?" Michael frowned and asked.
"Why worry?"
Lord smiled, reached out and scratched the tip of her nose, and said: "Her and I have the same goal in collecting the remains, so at least until we collect all the remains, we have the closest cooperation. Mate'ah!"
