The Black Magic Cult member immediately nodded like a pecking chicken. He didn't know how the other party arrived in this Giant Kingdom, but this guy clearly looked like someone not to be trifled with. For the sake of his own life, he didn't care about loyalty or disloyalty.
"What is your purpose for abducting Giant children?"
"We plan to domesticate them and then lease them to countries in need."
"Lease?"
Qi Yan frowned, not quite understanding what that meant.
"Yes, many countries are at war, and although Giant children are still young, their inherent large physique and strength, once equipped with armor and sent to the battlefield, each one is a super warrior capable of fighting a thousand. Once they make a name for themselves, many countries will throw money at us, asking for our help." The Black Magic Cult member even seemed a bit excited as he spoke.
When Qi Yan heard that these bastards actually wanted to send those children to the battlefield, he immediately cursed in his heart. These Black Magic Cult members were indeed a bunch of beasts, all of them deserved to die.
Qi Yan suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to ask, "Are all the abducted Giant children held there?"
"Yes! Yes! A total of 120 children were abducted, and they are all held there. We plan to abduct three hundred Giant children before leaving."
"How did you abduct the children?"
Qi Yan was very curious about this. He had followed those children all the way and hadn't seen anyone.
"It's..."
The Black Magic Cult member hesitated.
"Pfft!"
Qi Yan directly stabbed the guy in his other leg.
"Waaahhhhhh!"
"Who is it?"
"It's Mr. Hui! Mr. Hui!!"
"Who is Mr. Hui?"
"Mr. Hui is a priest of our Black Magic Cult. He has a magical tool called the 'Hameln Flute' in his hand. Mr. Hui previously disguised himself as a bard and visited the Giant Kingdom. Once they have heard the sound of the flute, as long as the flute is played again, they will be under his control, no matter how far away."
"A flute again?"
When Qi Yan heard 'flute,' he immediately thought of the Lullaby he had dealt with not long ago. Could this thing also be the work of Dark Mage Zeref?
Qi Yan felt that this possibility was very high. That guy always felt that he was kind-hearted, yet the things he created caused huge trouble throughout the world. For hundreds of years, countless people had died because of some small things he casually created, which also gave rise to the terrifying legend of Dark Mage Zeref.
"This thing must have some limitations, right? Otherwise, instead of directly controlling children, wouldn't it be better to directly control the Giants?"
"This..."
The Black Magic Cult member hesitated, but seeing Qi Yan's fierce glare, he quickly said, "Yes! Yes! I heard Mr. Hui say that although the Hameln Flute is powerful, it can only control children under twelve years old. It has no effect on children over twelve."
Qi Yan curled his lips. This thing was truly useless. What kind of combat power could children under twelve have? No wonder he came here, and only the Giant children could possess powerful combat strength.
"Who is Mr. Hui? What does he look like?"
To completely solve the problem of abducted children, he had to find that Mr. Hui and destroy that magical flute.
"We don't know what Mr. Hui looks like. He wears a black hat and a demon mask over the lower half of his face."
"How many people are in your Black Magic Cult altogether?"
"Originally there were 800 people, but only over 300 are left here."
"Don't kill me! I told you everything I know!"
Pfft!
The kunai in Qi Yan's hand directly plunged into the other party's neck.
The other party's eyes widened in disbelief. He was very confused. He had already told him all the information, so why was the other party still killing him?
"Ah! Thank you! To thank you, I gave you a quick death."
He now utterly detested the Black Magic Cult. These scoundrels didn't deserve to live.
When he watched the anime, the Black Magic Cult capturing young Erza made him hate them immensely. After truly experiencing it, he felt that all those guys deserved to die.
Qi Yan formed hand seals.
Boom!!
Qi Yan transformed into the other person's appearance.
Transformation Jutsu!
A basic ninjutsu from Naruto, it might seem not very useful, but for infiltration and intelligence gathering, this ninjutsu was simply a divine skill.
Whoosh----!
The next moment, Qi Yan returned to the dungeon.
Everything was silent; no one noticed that the person had changed.
Qi Yan took a look. This dungeon was very large, and the Black Magic Cult members were scattered everywhere. It would be difficult to defeat these guys in an instant. If they weren't all dealt with immediately, the Giant children could be in mortal danger.
So the best way was to first teleport those little ones back so he could fight without restraint.
Qi Yan formed hand seals.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Boom!
A clone identical to his current self remained in place.
Qi Yan's main body appeared in Buli's pocket. He had left a Flying Thunder God Technique mark there earlier.
"Buli!"
Buli's face lit up with joy when he heard Qi Yan's voice.
"Brother Qi Yan!"
"How is it? Did you tell them everything?"
"I told them everything."
"Good. Distribute these kunai to them and tell them to stick the kunai near their collars. Then tell the children to gather together, holding hands. I'll send you all away shortly."
Buli immediately took some of his newly made friends and quickly distributed the kunai with the Flying Thunder God Technique marks.
Nothing had gone wrong for such a long time, and this was still the Giant King's city. Giants were so large, rescue would only be possible by charging directly. Plus, these little ones were all wearing special explosive collars, so they weren't worried about them escaping. Therefore, supervision was quite lax.
Soon, everything was ready, and Qi Yan's clone immediately sprang into action.
The clone walked up to a Black Magic Cult member.
"Hey! Hey! It's not time for the shift change yet."
Pfft!
The clone, holding a kunai, directly stabbed the other person in the kidney.
"Uwaahhhhh!"
The other person let out a painful scream, looking at Qi Yan in disbelief. His good brother, who he usually spent time with, would actually try to kill him.
"Long live Dark Mage Zeref!!!"
The scream and Qi Yan's shout immediately attracted the attention of others.
"Quick, someone! Stop Slack! He's gone mad!!"
Many other Black Magic Cult members rushed over to stop him when they saw this scene.
While the clone was attracting attention, Qi Yan himself also began to move.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!!"
