Chapter 1138: Squad Divergence
Emerald hills.
It was once a beautiful place on the Morian Plane with stunning scenery.
The soil here is rich in a strange mineral grain that takes on a variety of beautiful colors such as turquoise and blue when illuminated by the sky. And in the elegant and quiet moonlight, this illusion will continue to change, just like a piece of jade gems flowing gently with the moonlight.
Hence the reputation of the Emerald Hills!
But the beauty of the past is gone now, and the Emerald Hills are now a bare hill. The scrawny hill lacked dirt and vegetation cover, revealing a hard, cold rock base that looked especially cold and unforgiving in the moonlight.
At the top of the hill, a small campsite was lit by a bonfire, and seven strange figures in black robes sat together, as if waiting for something.
Thirteen days have passed since the day of ruin, and the entire interior of the Morian plane has become more and more unstable, and the frequency of various exotic creatures has become more and more dense. In such an environment, it is very difficult to find a quiet place where no one is disturbed.
Moreover, with the decay of the plane world, the plane barrier has been damaged and disintegrated in a large area. On the continent, due to the breach of the adjacent plane barriers, hundreds of tons of plane matter were swept away by the void hurricane, washed and scattered into the depths of the endless sea of stars.
Moreover, such losses are still happening all the time, as long as the plane breach is not blocked, the plane material will continue to be lost, until only the strongest and toughest core essence substances remain in the entire plane.
And those creatures that have been swept into the depths of the sea of stars have no chance of continuing to survive!
"Captain Roy, how long do you think we'll have to wait?" a black-robed wizard asked softly, his tone filled with a strong taste of dissatisfaction.
As she spoke, the black robe's hood slid down slightly, revealing half of her delicate and white chin. A small black mole at the corner of her mouth added a strange and touching taste to her.
"Yes, Captain Roy, maybe the members of that team have already died, otherwise this time should have arrived!" another black-robed wizard grumbled with the same dissatisfaction.
"There's nothing to complain about!" The black-robed wizard at the head was wearing a golden ring, and there was a deep claw mark on the left cheek, which was full of gray gas, and it seemed that there was still a residual xenomorph energy that had not been completely removed, and he looked extremely cold and fierce: "The agreed time before the breakup was to wait here for three days, and now it's only two days have passed, and we can return in one day, what's there to ...... urgently"
"That's right, but this plane ......," the black-robed wizard said in a low and sexy voice, but her words were full of worry: "I have been able to hear the constant explosions coming from the sky dome during the rest of the past few days. This shows that the barrier of the Morian plane has not been able to hold for long, and once the plane barrier is broken, the cross-dimensional ultra-long-range teleportation array we carry may be affected by the Void Storm. At that time......"
Although she didn't say much else, the unfinished words had already brought endless associations to the other wizard friends.
As the 4th order elite selected by the wizard camp, their first and second squads successfully completed the task and successfully returned to the evacuation point. Unfortunately, only seven of the twelve people who set off returned were left.
This also means that during the 53-day trip, five elite Tier 4 wizards died on the Morian plane. The death rate is almost half, which also shows the danger and horror of the mission they performed!
As for the third squad, which existed as a force involved, there were only four members, and they were all miscellaneous or new wizards selected by major organizations. With their strength and contingency methods, the probability of surviving such a dangerous mission is quite low.
Therefore, after the wizards of the two elite teams converged here, they waited silently while secretly guessing the number of people who might return to the third team.
That weak two-headed wizard is bound to fall, and the arcane wizard with the rank of puppeteer also has a high probability of falling. After all, such a guy is only good at fighting, but not good at escaping, and once he is surrounded by a powerful enemy, the chance of escape is almost zero.
That somewhat famous fire witch is quite strong, but in such a dangerous plane battlefield, the more dazzling the strength, the faster he will die. So the chances of him being able to complete the mission and escape from the dangerous ground are not very good.
On the contrary, it was the dark witch who had the strength of the 4th intermediate level, and her own witchcraft was also biased towards maneuvering and sneak attacks. Therefore, such a guy is the most suitable for the plane battlefield, he can advance and retreat, and he can fight and escape. Once you survive this dimensional battlefield, your own strength will also be greatly improved.
However, while the wizards were waiting silently, three tall and strange figures appeared on the bumpy road in the distance, and quickly approached the campsite.
The wizards around the campfire raised their vigilance, the sound of rustling under the black robes continued, and some instantaneous magic wands, witchcraft scrolls, powerful witch weapons, and strange treasures all slipped into their palms, in a state of activation and ready to fire.
The black-robed witch stood up and glanced at it, and couldn't help but snort.
"Hey, it's the third squad......! They came back with three people......"
Although the words were simple, they made the rest of the wizard companions frown slightly.
Soon, the three of Grim climbed the hill with only the broken rock mass left, and joined the wizards of the home team.
The Golden Ring Wizard led by the "Three ......" couldn't help but whisper, and the wound on his cheek infected with gray qi claw marks began to slowly squirm, looking extremely fierce and hideous.
"Lord Roy, we're back!" the three Grimms seemed to sense the coldness and unkindness in the eyes of the other wizards looking at them, and took the initiative to nod to the wizard with the Golden Ring who led the team.
"Grim...... What about Shani?" One of the seven home team wizards stepped forward, brushed down his hood, and asked him coldly.
This is a female wizard, with a layer of cold wind and freezing air like ice, and her eyebrows are delicate and small, but there is a hint of decisive murderous aura.
Look at her appearance, look at the family crest on her chest, she is a winter witch!
The Winter Witch is also a branch of the Northland Witches, and although they are not of the same race as the Dark Witches, they belong to the same clan as the servants of the Great Witch King. And they are more grouped by nature, especially in terms of external affairs, they are advancing and retreating together, and they belong to a group of women who are extremely difficult to deal with.
Grim lowered his eyelids, and a faint look of sadness appeared on his face.
"It's a pity that Lady Shani fell in a battle with otherworldly creatures!"
"Fart, you're lying!With Shanny's strength, who in this plane can put her to death?The Dark Witch is famously unkillable!" the Winter Witch roared in disbelief.
Grim's face did not move, his eyebrows raised, and he said softly.
"Of course, the Arcanists of this plane can't kill her, but those otherworldly creatures can. Shani died at the hands of a powerful foe with an artifact, his name was Mitzel, the son of the god of wisdom, Hiero...... If you don't believe, you can find a prophet to verify it. ”
Artifact...... Miko ...... The God of Wisdom......
Such shocking news made all wizards frown.
The Dark Witches all have psionic pools that preserve their soul imprints so that they can rampage through the battlefield and fight with a ferocious and brutal fighting style. Even if you are unfortunately killed in battle, you can be resurrected again with the help of the spiritual energy pool and reshape your fully energetic body.
This is also the most difficult point for the dark witches!
However, if the Dark Witch encounters a powerful enemy with an artifact, the opponent can use the high-level characteristics of the artifact to trap or kill the soul of the Dark Witch. Therefore, it makes sense for Grim to blame Shani's death on this.
A shriveled old wizard stood up and asked with a sinister smile, "If even the witch Shani was killed in battle, how did the three of you escape?
"yes, yes...... It must be like this...... I know that these miscellaneous cards are unreliable......" Several sorcerers with injuries next to them also shouted angrily, looking menacing.
"Hand over your quest crystals, I'm going to check them!"
Under the influence of several companions, the wizard of the Golden Ring couldn't help but have a trace of suspicion about the three of Grim, and directly asked for the task crystal.
The quest crystal is also an item specially distributed by the superior wizard before the team departs, which can record the brief image of the team members fighting at the mission point, and is generally kept by the leading wizard.
Such an item has the aura of a high-ranking wizard on it, and it is impossible to cheat at all, and it is also direct evidence for the mission team to prove their achievements.
Grim was slightly stunned, and his face became gloomy.
"Verifying the quest crystal is a matter for a high-ranking wizard, and now you are forcing me to hand over the quest crystal, which is a bit out of bounds!"
"Hmph, if you don't hand over the quest crystal, who knows if you have completed the quest or not. I'm the wizard appointed by the Great Wizards to lead the team, and I'm up to me here. Hand over your quest crystals!" the golden-ringed wizard said coldly.
Grim stared at him coldly for a moment, then finally nodded slowly, took out a fist-sized magic crystal from his arms and handed it over.
The Wizard of Holy and the Mangers siblings hesitated, and both handed over their quest crystals.
The golden-ring wizard took the crystals, first cast a spell to verify their authenticity, and then held them up in front of him, and his spiritual power slowly penetrated into it, checking the mission images left inside.
