A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 889 Betting on Life
Leon naturally noticed this as well. Although he didn't recognize what it was, he was sure it wasn't a good thing. He looked at these innocent people with a headache and spoke first.

"Come and talk to someone you can communicate with."

Now both sides have demands. The Madman who controls these ordinary people wants the Guardian Net strain in Lyon's hand, while Lyon and Linus want to protect these innocent people who are involved, so if they want to break the current situation, they can only negotiate.

As Lyon proposed negotiations, a petite girl walked out of the encirclement, looked directly at Lyon, and spoke in a tender and cute childish voice, words that were completely inconsistent with her temperament.

"I want your Guardian Net strains. If I give them to them, they may not survive, but if I don't, they will definitely die."

"You said you might not survive, so it doesn't matter whether I give it to you or not." Leon complained.

"Boom."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a dull explosion, and a ball of blood exploded directly from the throat of a girl in a dress. A large amount of blood sprayed out, and at the same time her demeanor recovered. Her face was full of pain and fear. She instinctively covered her broken throat, but still could not stop the blood from flowing out.

In just a moment, this girl would die.

"Drafted."

Leon cursed angrily. It was just a test, but who would have thought that this guy who controlled ordinary people would actually kill them directly. This was a blatant threat, but it was indeed very effective.

This girl, who was killed as an example to scare others, is the first one, but she will definitely not be the last.

But Leon wouldn't just sit there and do nothing. He touched Linus's shoulder and handed him something.

The latter immediately understood what Leon meant. With the help of the wind, a ball of red sticky liquid was sent into the girl's mouth and forced down her throat. The girl, who had been pale, instantly regained her color, and the wound on her neck, which had been completely stained with blood, also returned to normal.

But before he could feel joy at the girl being rescued from the brink of death, his expression turned cold and arrogant again, and his pupils were covered with black.

Controlled again.

"I'll pay you, please stop blowing me up. If you do, I'll run away."

Not daring to test it again this time, Lyon directly took out the protective net plant wrapped in Yuba's soil, and with his other hand he also grabbed a teleportation totem: Homeward Journey.

"Oh." Seeing the guardian net strain that Leon took out, Linus sighed, but did not stop him.

After all, he had to be cautious. The other party now held more than a dozen lives in their hands. He couldn't ignore it, and he knew that Lyon couldn't do it either.

The girl who served as the spokesperson smiled smugly after seeing the Guardian Net Plant, and took the initiative to walk up to Leon and extend her hand.

"In my hands, they can live."

"Take it."

Leon casually threw the Guardian Net Plant into the girl's hands. When the girl's attention was completely attracted by the Guardian Net Plant that was about to fall into her hands, Leon directly bumped into Linus, then suddenly stretched out his hand and placed it on the girl's head.

A flash of green light flashed on the Guardian Net Sprout Ring on this hand, and the girl's expression instantly became confused, and the darkness in her eyes faded away, and the explosive rune on her neck also disappeared.

"Sure enough, the bet was right." Seeing that the Guardian Net Sprout Ring was effective, Lyon was ecstatic.

"Growth of the Guardian Net (Ring): A portion of the Guardian Net, still retaining some of the power of protection. Can block the erosion and influence of most evil forces."

After getting the ring made of buds, Lyon wrote down the appraisal given by the system. When he noticed that it could block the erosion and influence of most evil forces, but did not clearly state that the isolation effect was limited to the wearer himself, Lyon thought of this possibility.

But before it is fully verified, Lyon is not sure, so they want to take a gamble. If the gamble is successful, the disadvantage can be reversed.

The gamble failed, and Leon was ready to take out the second bottle of life potion.

Fortunately, he succeeded.

Linus, who had been bumped by Leon before, also noticed this scene and took action one step ahead.

The strong wind directly swept all the controlled tourists and sent them to Lyon, and at this moment Lyon burst out at full speed, and the palm of his hand wearing the Guardian Net Bud Ring brushed over every controlled tourist.

The speed was extremely fast, but the Madman, the mastermind who controlled these innocent people, did not surrender. The necks of several tourists who had not yet come into contact with Leon's palm suddenly exploded.

"You're such a beast! If I catch you, you'll be dead!"

Lyon cursed angrily as he continued to dispel the control over these tourists, then he took out a life potion and gave it to these guys whose throats were blown apart. The powerful effect of the life potion instantly repaired the wounds and restored their lost blood. Although the scene seemed too bloody, no one died.

"Good job, kid."

After rescuing all the hostages and dispelling the control effect of the madman, Linus excitedly patted Leon's shoulder and praised him.

"Where is Las Modesto? He called for help, but it shouldn't have been dealt with yet. Who knows if there are other tourists under control besides this group?" Leon did not feel happy, but more worried.

"It's okay. There aren't many people under control. Apparently, this kind of complex magic isn't easy to use. You've already taken over most of the tourists under control. The others have already been rescued."

Speak of the devil and he will appear. Lasmodes walked out of the void and comforted Leon while suppressing his anger.

"Can you find the Wicked One hiding behind the scenes?" Linus asked.

"We're locating them. We should be able to catch them. This type of control magic caster can't be manipulated from a distance. The church members have already started evacuating the crowd and closing off the square, and the other helpers I called in are also checking all areas and crowds.

But there are so many tourists and celebrants here that it might take a long time.”

Rasmodes replied.

"Then you stay by this kid's side while I look for someone else. You know, when it comes to finding the Lost Hearts, we, the holders of forest magic, have a much greater advantage than you. Protect this kid well."

After Linus finished speaking, he turned into a breeze and disappeared in front of the two people. As the breeze blew, it became stronger and more violent, and the area that the wind could blow across also increased exponentially.
