Then Qian Lan felt the flesh surrounding her contracting inwards, constantly squeezing her living space.
Qian Lan hurriedly used lightning to try to shatter the tentacles, but found that the glass surface of the tentacles was covered with a layer of energy similar to mental energy, but much stronger than mental energy.
This energy made it impossible for her to break the glass.
Her flesh and blood continued to compress, Qian Lan could clearly feel the lightning that made up her body being forcibly compressed together.
The intertwined tentacles throbbed wildly, then slowly loosened, revealing a glass sphere encased in lightning.
Hela picked up the palm-sized glass ball with one hand and examined it closely.
The lightning inside the glass sphere surged wildly, as if trying to break free.
The surface of the glass sphere is covered with veins that resemble blood vessels, forming a hard net that blocks the lightning inside.
Hela weighed the glass ball in her hand for a moment, then gripped it tightly and tossed it sharply into the night sky outside the window.
The glass ball streaked through the air in a blue trail before disappearing into the night, transforming into a star.
Hela clapped her hands and then turned her gaze to Xiao Liu, who was knocked to the ground by the explosion and was trying to get up.
Xiao Liu, who was in pain all over his body, struggled to get up from the ground.
When she looked up, she froze.
At this moment, Hela stood quietly in front of him, looking down at Xiao Liu.
"Could you please not kill me... ah..."
Before Xiao Liu could finish begging for mercy, Hela grabbed him by the neck and lifted him into the air.
Xiao Liu, his face contorted in pain, gripped Hela's wrist, his legs struggling incessantly.
Hela glanced at Xiao Liu, whom she was strangling, and then at the skylight next to her, whose glass she had shattered.
An evil thought came to mind.
Under Xiao Liu's terrified gaze, Hela slowly walked to the window and stretched Xiao Liu out.
Seeing this, Xiao Liu struggled even more fiercely.
"No... I'm afraid of heights... Just give me a quick death, please..."
Xiao Liu's face was starting to turn purple, and his voice was extremely hoarse and intermittent.
Seeing the other person in so much pain, the kind-hearted Hela decisively let go and stopped pinching her.
"Your mom..."
Without Hela's grip, Xiao Liu plummeted straight down from the 100-meter-tall building, cursing Hela mid-air.
Hela leaned out and looked down, cupping her hands in a megaphone shape as she shouted from below.
"I don't have a mother."
But Xiao Liu never responded to Hela again; there was only a loud thud as something heavy fell and the hum of a car engine.
Hela didn't pull her head back; instead, she looked at it again before finally turning it away.
"He's really tough; he didn't die from that fall."
Sensing that the other person still had a trace of Life, Hela muttered to herself.
Suddenly, Hela seemed to realize something and looked around.
Gu Gongming, Han Xiaoxiao, Qian Lan, and Xiao Liu, whom he had just thrown down.
Although they were all severely injured by their own attacks, they miraculously did not die.
Of course, that robot isn't human, so it doesn't count.
Strange, Hera clearly intended to kill them.
She looked around again, and finally fixed her gaze on Jian Luo, who was protecting Wang Canxin.
He was covered in sweat, panting heavily, and looked somewhat dazed, as if his mental energy was completely exhausted.
Hela blinked, then suddenly realized, and pointed at the other person.
"Did you do something to prevent me from killing them?"
Jian Luo's body trembled violently, and beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.
He did indeed use [One Quarter] of his power just now, betting that Hela wouldn't kill them.
He actually guessed right, but the mental energy expenditure far exceeded his expectations.
The remaining mental energy can only be used once more.
He glanced at Hela, who stood quietly in front of him, and then at Wang Canxin, who remained seated behind him, and made a decision in his heart.
Even if it costs him his life, Wang Canxin must be saved! Because his own death wouldn't cause any significant loss, but Wang Canxin... is a matter of fate for all humanity!
"So what if that's true!"
He quickly drew his straight sword and assumed a fighting stance.
"Oh, then die."
In an instant, countless tentacles grew from around Hela, like scarlet pythons, swaying incessantly around Hela.
"May I say a few words?"
Just as Hela was about to make her move, Wang Canxin suddenly spoke, his tone devoid of any fear, making him seem nothing like a dying man.
Hela glanced at Wang Canxin behind Jian Luo, and after a moment's thought, she remembered who he was.
"Oh, so you're the one who threatened me at training camp."
Jian Luo was taken aback, not expecting Wang Canxin to be so powerful that he could actually threaten the [Five Calamities]! His admiration for Wang Canxin grew even stronger.
Wang Canxin smiled slightly, "It seems you still remember. Do you still remember the details of our transaction?"
"Yes, I remember." Hela nodded. "You keep my secret, and in return, I'll tell you some information about myself and owe you a favor."
"Can I use this favor now?"
Suddenly, Jian Luo and Wang Canxin saw a flash of red light in front of them. When they came to their senses, a fresh, living hand had appeared in Hela's hand.
As if sensing something, Wang Canxin slowly raised his left hand.
There, the original left hand had vanished without a trace, leaving only a fountain of blood gushing out.
As blood gushed forth, a scalding burning sensation and an extremely unsettling emptiness emanated from the broken wall.
" Commander Wang!"
Jian Luo was shocked. Without thinking, she tore off a piece of cloth from her clothes and quickly used it to stop Wang Canxin's bleeding.
His anxious expression made it seem as if it were himself, not Wang Canxin, who had lost his hand.
Hela watched silently as the two made no further move, then opened her mouth and began to devour her own flesh right in front of Wang Canxin.
Do you think you can still negotiate with me now?
The flesh and bones crunched uncomfortably as Hela chewed them, causing Jian Luo, who had just bandaged Wang Canxin, to break out in a cold sweat.
He wasn't unfamiliar with such bloody scenes; he had seen plenty of man-eating creatures as well.
But the strange combination of such a cute young girl eating the flesh and blood of a living person was really making him feel uncomfortable.
With a gulp, the flesh and blood were finally swallowed by Hela.
To be honest, Hela wouldn't have bothered eating this stuff if she didn't want to scare Wang Canxin at this moment.
Wang Canxin himself was at most at the ' High Rank ' realm, and his combat power was almost non-existent. The energy gained from eating his flesh was less than the energy consumed when he cut off his hand.
However, what Hela noticed was that Wang Canxin did not cry out in pain or show any fear throughout the entire process; he remained calm from beginning to end.
"Of course, I'm doing you a favor. Just consider it an opportunity for me, a chance for us to make a deal."
After his wound was bandaged, Wang Canxing spoke calmly, but his slightly trembling left hand betrayed that he was enduring the pain.
Seeing the fear and pain that the other person inadvertently revealed, Hela felt a strange sense of comfort.
She had assumed the other person was a weirdo like Ye Yiqing, someone who could laugh even after being beaten to near death.
"Alright, I'll give you that chance. Go ahead and say it."
Hela stood in the center of the swaying tentacles, as if a queen were slowly sitting down, with one of the tentacles immediately extending down to serve as a seat.
The remaining dozen or so tentacles continued to thrash excitedly, as if they would strike and smash Hela's head in an instant should Wang Canxin say anything that displeased her.
Jian Luo swallowed hard, looking at Hela, who seemed to have crawled out of hell, with some fear, and then at the calm and composed Wang Canxin. She could only trust the other party.
"I'll trade one piece of intelligence for the survival of everyone present."
intelligence...
Hela pretended to think about it for a moment, then gave up.
"Okay, but we'll have to see how important this information is."
