Section 336 Crises abounded5
Warlocks can greatly strengthen their five senses through magic. However, in the final analysis, it is only to strengthen the five senses, not to create the sixth sense out of thin air. No matter how keen your vision is, you can't see through what is behind the wall, and certainly you can't see through the thick fog.
So when the fog appeared, almost everyone realized that their operation had failed. Even if the prey is hiding in a corner and not moving, it will be difficult for them to find it in a safe time (that is, before it is drained by the sucking energy).
Everyone's eyes were focused on the severed finger, waiting for the commander's order.
Severed Finger smiled, carefully examining the rapidly diffusing mist. It was as if he wasn't looking at the smoke that got in the way of despair, but at a beautiful work of art.
They'd tested before if they could use magic to blow away the smoke from nowhere. The results of the test were not feasible, as the smoke could be blown away, but it diffused too quickly. Unless you concentrate a large number of Warlocks at once, and make it impossible to gather them with continuous attacks, it will simply grow and disappear, and you will not see any loss at all, but waste your mana in vain.
"Sure enough, this is it!" Severed Finger finally stopped looking at himself and said in a very happy tone, "This is what Kecha Goyat is doing, it is simply trying to cover up." ”
"But how are we going to find people...... How to deal with this smoke?" a subordinate had to ask the question, noticing that the boss didn't seem to be aware of the most perceptible fact.
"Simple," Severed Finger said. "It's so simple. He lined up the crowd and waved his hand, as if an invisible knife had slashed through the air, cutting a gap directly in the smoke. Not only the smoke, but also the semi-biomass on the ground was scattered by the blow, directly exposing the original rock layer. "The mystery should be on this semi-biomass. ”
People couldn't come back to their senses for a while.
This kind of semi-biomass is already familiar to everyone - even if it feels fresh at the beginning, but when marching in the underground passages, you see this kind of thing every day when you open your eyes, you see this kind of thing when you close your eyes, you see this kind of thing when you look up, and you still look down at this kind of thing, and now you have long lost interest. This thing was made by Kecha Goat, and it seems to be used to hold the structure of the underground world in place to avoid dangers such as collapse. Maybe it has some other purpose, but it's not clear for the time being. It is apparently a fast grower, able to cover a large area in a very short period of time, and is not afraid of external damage - even if it does, it can still recover quite quickly. The warlocks thought it was a bit weird, and they couldn't do anything about it. Because there are so many of them - this thing obviously grows on its own, without any external control. It really has to be meticulously destroyed all the way, even if you ignore that kind of regenerative ability, it is too much engineering to work, even warlocks with powerful destructive abilities can't bear it.
Of course, this thing isn't entirely bad for warlocks. The part of it that covered the ceiling and the rock wall was still upside down, but the part that covered the ground somehow grew a layer of hard structure like fluff on the top. Make it a good way to go. Although high-level warlocks are very adaptable to the terrain, it is better to walk on wide, flat avenues than on bumpy roads.
So, by now, warlocks are familiar with this semi-biomass. No one has any special interest or leisure to do anything about it. For the warlocks who are trapped in the energy-absorbing effect and the magic power is constantly draining at the moment, this kind of destruction is not only meaningless, but simply foolish.
"It's ......"
"This smoke is released from this semi-biomass. Severed Finger explained.
"However, we have checked ......" someone questioned. Of course, it is not just one person who has such suspicions. As mentioned earlier, this smoke is too unnatural and obviously under control. Anyone who sees this will naturally wonder if there is some kind of emitter hidden under this semi-biomass - the warlocks would be idiots to say that they don't even have the slightest judgment. However, the Warlocks had tried to tear apart the ground to see if anything suspicious was hiding inside, but the operation had completely failed. Nothing was found.
"Tear down all the ground!" Severed Finger ordered, and he was the first to do it.
In this case, although I don't think so, my subordinates can't resist the orders of their superiors in this situation. The Warlocks' powerful destructive abilities are on full display at this moment. Although everyone is restrained and acts in a way that conserves as much magic as possible, the damage caused is still staggering. In just a short time, the semi-biomass ground in front of them was completely peeled open with a huge gap, revealing the dark rock beneath it.
Even though semi-biomass has excellent recovery ability, it is so badly damaged that it is stripped directly from the surface of such a large circle...... It won't take long for it to grow again.
Somewhat surprisingly, although everyone didn't think that semi-biomass had anything to do with smoke at first, in fact, after being stripped of such a layer, there was also a large gap in the originally dense smoke. It can't be said to be completely empty, but it's clearly visible to the naked eye, and it's much lighter.
This gives a clear impression that the smoke actually evaporates quickly. The reason why it seems to be stagnant is not because of the smoke itself, but because it is constantly replenished. At this time, once its supplement is insufficient, the truth will be immediately exposed.
"That's ......," Severed Finger said. "Let's take it all the way in. ”
This sentence makes people embarrassed. It's fine under normal conditions, but after all, they are now in this inexplicable energy-absorbing effect (they have already tried, even if the semi-biomass is dismantled and standing on the bare rock, the energy-absorbing effect remains the same. Apparently this has nothing to do with semi-biomass. It doesn't even matter to the ground, because even if you levitate it with mana, the effect will still be the same. The mana has been consumed a lot. This area is not big, but it is definitely not small. If you want to clear the semi-biomass in this area, although it cannot be said that it is "absolutely impossible", it is definitely necessary to risk the realization of fighting against the water and dying.
The question is...... Now that Kecha Goat is dead, the victory is decided, and the purpose of their coming here has been successfully accomplished, then the battle for loot or something at this time has become a battle between the top leaders. It's good to grab it, and everyone can share some credit. But if you can't snatch the broken finger and give away the spoils of war to others, what is the essential difference for the people below? This difference is not worth risking your life. The only one who will be frustrated is the severed finger himself.
"No, no, you don't need to clean it all up. "Severed Finger also realized that his subordinates had misunderstood. Out of all, only he has a always calm smile and seems to have everything in his hands. "We just have to clear one way. He pointed to the tallest building in the distance. "Then just clean up the area around that building. It should be about ......," he smiled reservedly, "I can take care of half of it." ”
This sentence could not be more obvious. This means that in the eyes of the severed finger, all these people combined, their total magic power can only be equal to him, or even worse than him. The problem is that this is a high-level warlock with a scale of about twenty people, although they can only be regarded as second- or third-rate in terms of strength, but one person can match so many...... It's still surprising.
With that, the severed finger has already begun to move.
……
"Partner, it's finally done!" In his mind, a relaxed sigh sounded from the master. This is arguably the first time in a long time that a master has said this.
"Are you okay?" Hearing what the master said, Lu Wu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"How could it be okay...... Yes, the Stygian Warlocks have been blocked, and according to my calculations, it is no longer possible for them to come to our side. What they have to do now is to get out of this underground city. In fact, some of them have already done so. They apparently had used some sort of channel, most likely ancient geological records, to know the location of several of the main entrances and exits to this subterranean space beforehand. I mean, we'...... I, in particular, was very troublesome and had a lot of sequelae. The master sighed, and now he could feel that it seemed to be in a mess in his head (although the master didn't actually have a "brain" organ). "Partner, you should understand...... According to an ancient saying of the Chinese on the earth, 'people are in the rivers and lakes, and the body cannot help themselves'. ”
"Uh...... I don't really understand ......."
"The problem of the Stygian Warlock has been solved, but the problem of the Radiant Moon Warlock has only just begun! The master said.
"Didn't you say that when our time is up, the badge charge will be completed, and we will go back?" Lu Wu still didn't quite understand the master's logic. Now that you have returned to Earth, everything in this world has been left behind.
"Yes, that's right, that's what we planned. The master said. "However, you ignore amber. ”
"Master, I remember you said that the sea of ether is changing, the position of the world is always changing, and even amber may not be able to find the earth again. It is because of this that this coat of arms is a rare treasure...... Besides, why would she do this? I ...... to her" Saying this, Lu Wu thought of Amber's purple eyes.
I don't know when, reason clearly told him that the chances of two people being together are really not great. Especially the First Lawman. They have spent almost their entire lives wandering in the Aetheric Sea, and unless they are the same First Lawman, it is completely impossible to get along for a long time. It's their mission, it's the price they have to pay for their natural powers, and Amber will be no exception. It is impossible to leave such a precious resource behind. Not to mention that Lu Wu is not from this world, he is from the earth, a similar, but completely different world.
Being able to accept the master's proposal and leave like this (although it was said that it was interfered by the two moons and did not make it) was also Lu Wu's own inner decision. I guess there is no such thing as "if it can be ended sooner, then there will be less pain".
"I know the Warlock has no ill will towards you, after all, you helped her so much. The master said. "But...... You should know that the old woman, the consul or something, already knows who you are, right?"
"Yes......" Lu Wu remembered the conversation between the three warlocks that day. Of course, he couldn't hear exactly what they said, but obviously, Lu Wu's identity and origin had already been revealed. It's not to blame Amber...... In fact, the consul didn't make a fuss about it, on the contrary, he was very indifferent. Maybe it's because there are quite a lot of traversers in this world.
"Do you say, will she let you go?" the master asked.
"But......" Lu Wu didn't think the old woman had anything special. In fact, she already knew, didn't she? But judging by her previous performance, it didn't seem like she was going to do anything.
"At that time, she obviously had more important things to do, and she really couldn't spare time to clean you up. Serious matters matter, and small things can only be put aside for the time being. But now it's different, partner...... I told you that warlocks are a bunch of pirates, whether it's the Radiant Moon or the Stygian Moon, and there is no difference in essence. They won't...... Missed this opportunity. ”
"What do you mean......" Lu Wu suddenly remembered a terrible thought. "Invasion of Earth?"
