Chapter 187: Follow My Lead

Seeing that Ye Lin and Duan Ling had not started fighting, many people had already begun to harbor thoughts of retreating.

After all, they did not want to face a Forbidden Spellcaster while simultaneously facing a Venom Warlock.

These two professions were each more adept at fighting many with few than the other.

However, upon hearing these words from Liu Yutong, the crowd felt it made a lot of sense.

With hostages like Ji Lingyu and the others in their hands, neither Ye Lin nor Duan Ling would dare to release those large-scale, high-damage skills.

In this way, by relying on their numerical advantage, they could exhaust the two of them until they were completely drained, even if it took a war of attrition.

Viewed in this light, their chances of winning were still extremely high!

Most of the people gathered here had had their magic crystals snatched by Ye Lin; now that they finally had a chance to retaliate and take their magic crystals back, they were naturally unwilling to give up easily.

Soon, Xie Wangquan and Liu Yutong led a large group of people to surround Ye Lin and Duan Ling.

Within this crowd, Ye Lin sensed many familiar auras, and he quickly understood what was going on.

It seemed the victims had formed a victims' alliance to crusade against him.

However, there was one thing Ye Lin still did not quite understand: why did this group bring Duan Ling over? Were they afraid he would be fighting alone without a helper?

"Ye Lin, you have done every evil thing imaginable! You are heartless! You go around robbing your classmates of their magic crystals; your retribution has arrived!"

Xie Wangquan shouted coldly, and the others also looked at Ye Lin with faces full of anger, completely forgetting that it was they who had wanted to rob Ye Lin first.

In their eyes, Ye Lin had now become a great demon king.

"Let's not talk about these trivial matters for now; let's talk about some adult topics—do you have any magic crystals on you?" Ye Lin asked with an expectant look.

Upon hearing this, Xie Wangquan's face turned green instantly.

This guy was too arrogant! They had united so many people to deal with Ye Lin, yet Ye Lin actually had such an indifferent attitude; wasn't this just not taking them seriously at all?

"Ye Lin, you don't really think you can defeat so many of us, do you? Even if your combat power is strong, your body will get injured, your stamina will run out; even in a war of attrition, we can exhaust you to death!"

Xie Wangquan spoke coldly, stepping closer to Ye Lin, trying to see fear on Ye Lin's face.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed; Ye Lin's expression did not change at all, as if the hundreds of powerful class-changers surrounding him were nothing more than a bunch of stray cats and dogs.

"Hubby, don't be afraid! Even if the whole world is against you, I will always be behind you supporting you! Come, lift your butt!"

As Duan Ling said this, she reached out and patted Ye Lin on the butt.

Ye Lin: "..."

Afterward, she stood directly in front of Ye Lin, facing Xie Wangquan and the others.

"You want to have a group fight, right? I'll keep you company!"

As she spoke, Duan Ling's eyes turned an extremely eerie emerald green, chilling to behold.

Once a Venom Warlock goes all out in a crowded place, the damage they can cause is terrifying.

Seeing that Duan Ling was about to release a poison skill, Liu Yutong hurriedly shouted to ask.

"Stop! Do you want to poison your own teammates to death as well?"

Liu Yutong stepped aside, revealing Ji Lingyu and the others, who were tied up like dumplings.

Seeing Ji Lingyu and the others, Duan Ling frowned; the skill she had already prepared could neither be released nor held back, so she could only turn to look at Ye Lin.

The smile on Ye Lin's face slowly faded; Liu Yutong and the others' act of binding Ji Lingyu had clearly ignited Ye Lin's fury.

"It seems you really want to have a go at it with me, Ye Huaqiang."

"Tell me, what will it take for you to release them?"

Seeing that Ye Lin was indeed worried about the consequences, a smile immediately appeared on Liu Yutong's face.

"Ye Lin, don't feel aggrieved; if you hadn't wantonly robbed others of their magic crystals, this wouldn't be happening now. Rest assured, we won't bully you either; as long as you don't use forbidden spells and keep that Duan Ling from releasing large-scale, high-damage skills, I guarantee your teammates will be safe and sound."

"Do it!"

Following Liu Yutong's soft shout, the people behind her swarmed toward Ye Lin and Duan Ling like sharks smelling blood, rubbing their hands and fists, with fierce glints flashing in their eyes.

"Ye Lin, you dog, do you remember me? You robbed me of three whole magic crystals! So you have a day like this too!"

"If I don't beat you until you're lying in bed for half a month, I'll write my name, Chen Chengchen, backward!"

"Same for me, Jin Jingjin!"

Looking at the hundreds of aggressive class-changers before them, Duan Ling's heart also skipped a beat.

Not being able to use large-scale damage skills to deal with so many people was completely a fantasy.

"What do we do now?" Duan Ling couldn't help but look at Ye Lin and ask.

"Follow my lead!"

"???"

Duan Ling glanced at Ye Lin's empty eye sockets, her little head filled with question marks.

"You don't have eyes, big brother!"

"That's right, so no need to look—just do it!"

After saying this, Ye Lin took the initiative and charged toward the crowd, like a humanoid tyrannosaurus, slamming a fist into the person at the very front and blasting them into the sky.

This scene made everyone's back turn cold; was this guy's strength not just a bit too terrifying?

"Don't be intimidated by him! He's just showing off for a moment! Follow my plan; mages skilled in containment, attack! Restrict his movements!" Liu Yutong shouted loudly.

Her shouting soon took effect, and many mages attacked together; they didn't seek to injure Ye Lin, only to restrict his movements.

Suddenly, the ground beneath Ye Lin's feet turned into a sticky swamp, trapping his feet, and immediately after, countless vines intertwined and twisted into two giant vine ropes, binding Ye Lin's hands.

Moreover, ice crystals began to form continuously on Ye Lin's body, the cold air invading his system and causing his reaction speed to drop.

Ye Lin gave a forceful shake, and relying on his terrifying strength attribute, he instantly shattered all the vine ropes and ice crystals, breaking free from the swamp.

But just as he broke free, more skills were hurled at him, continuously pinning him down.

Seeing the tactics working, the crowd became even more enthusiastic, crazily throwing skills at Ye Lin.

Ye Lin frowned; was it too much to fight a hundred with just physical strength?

In the current situation, a single forbidden spell could solve it, but he couldn't release one right now.

But dragging it out like this wasn't a solution either; he had to eliminate a portion of the people first to have a chance to save Ji Lingyu and the others.

Ye Lin suddenly looked at Duan Ling and asked.

"Do you have a potent poison on you, such that anyone who touches you will be poisoned?"
