Chapter Twenty-Four: Into the Void

The playground of the town school was crowded with people, and the crowd scrambled to surround the spaceship when it seemed that only three young people had come out of it, and they dispersed in disappointment.

Being young is about the same as having no experience, and how can you do this kind of thing without experience in war? The Star Guards began to complain about the level of service of the Star Imperial Alliance.

"We're here to find out what to do, and the big force will have to wait a little while to arrive. Can someone tell us exactly what happened?" Lena shouted into the crowd.

No one paid attention to her, and the Star Guards didn't look up as if they hadn't heard.

Lena pursed her lips, looked at the two team members and said, "Why don't we go up and ask one by one?"

"Hmph. Lu Xin smiled evilly and said, "No." ”

He confidently stepped forward, pointed at Lena, and shouted into the crowd:

"She's Lena Fields!!"

This name is still quite influential among the Star Guardians who belong to the Star Guardians, not to mention that this is Europe, the home of Nightingale Fortress.

The people on the playground turned their heads and looked sideways at about the same time, and the crowd began to turn around, "Red eyes, as if it was really Miss Fields." "I can't help but give this face, she may be able to bring quite strong reinforcements." "Hurry up, who's going to go up and deal with it." Words like that.

Lena was embarrassed, and glared at Lu Xin fiercely, eager to punch him away.

I have to say that this trick is quite effective, and soon, a white-haired old man came out of the crowd, although his back has been bent by the years, but his expression still reveals the extraordinary aura of the past.

"A few friends of the Star Alliance, I'm Mayor Fabio. I'm sorry for the inconvenience of the townspeople, so please come with me. The old man said and strode towards the school gate.

He led the three of them straight to the hospital across the street from the school, where the badly injured Star Guardians could be seen everywhere, wailing from the severe pain and mental torture.

The old man explained to the three behind him as he walked, "This morning, when the Void was fully invaded, more than a dozen Passive Net Cultists took advantage of the chaos to capture 24 children from the elementary school and brought them into the Void Shroud Area. I immediately sent men in pursuit, but after a few hours, not only did the children not return, but the soldiers were half less, and most of them who came back were seriously wounded, alas. ”

"Has anyone here been cursed by the Void Tide?" asked Li Jinyi.

"Yes, but not long ago, the Star Alliance shared a Star Soul Crystal Therapy, and we happened to have some Star Soul Crystals in stock in our town, so they were all cured. Fabio said as he walked into a relatively quiet hospital room.

"Hmm. Li Jinyi nodded expressionlessly.

"For the rest of the situation, you can ask the people who entered the Void Shroud in detail. Mayor Marew walked over to the bed of a lightly wounded warrior and said to the young man on the bed, "Fernando, several Star Alliance officials want to get some information about the battle situation from you, please cooperate." ”

"Willing to serve, Mayor Town. Fernando barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

Li Jinyi stepped forward and began to inquire with a pen and paper that had already been taken out of his pocket.

"How many people did you lose?"

"There were 37 when you went in, and 20 left when you came out. ”

"Are there any mutated Earth animals?"

"Well, but that didn't pose a threat to us, it was the Void creatures who really repelled us. ”

"Can you describe what that creature looks like?"

"Oh my God, I shudder at the thought of that monster. Fernando shuddered as he spoke.

"They are 3 meters tall, all black, with extremely hard skin, a diamond-shaped head with many dark green spikes on both sides, four, eyes, two of which are on the bridge of the nose, cough cough cough...... The mouth, which is cross-shaped, can spit out a very long tongue, and my brother Gino, who was dragged by their tongue around his neck and bitten to death, was a ...... scene" Tears rolled down the young man's face, and he continued with a forced cry, "They have four hands, two of which are small, and they are a little funny. But the other two were large, and had huge dark green claws, and our armored vehicles were torn to shreds by those claws. ”

Lena, who was on the side, soon found a similar evil creature in the "Void Guide" sent by the alliance on her mobile phone.

Quenched Claw Rock Demon, a low-level void creature that does not know magic, has a relatively simple mind, and is good at using physical advantages to crush enemies.

"Where did you encounter that monster?" asked Lena, stepping forward.

"To the north, in a small town called Seca, about 7 kilometers after entering the shrouded area!" Fernando suddenly came to his senses when he saw the beautiful and moving Lena, and reached out to straighten her messy hair.

Li Jinyi was going to complain about something, but then he felt that this was human nature, so he didn't think about it anymore. He looked up to look for Lu Xin, only to find that the guy was not by the bedside, but ran to the corridor to chat with a young nurse.

"You look a lot like a girl I used to know, especially when you smile, like ....... ”

Li Jinyi heard Lu Xin's accosting phrase that had not changed for more than ten years coming from the corridor, and he wanted to laugh inexplicably.

"What are you doing! Did you write it down?" Lena pushed Li Jinyi's arm.

"Of course, I wasn't distracted. Li Jinyi came back to his senses, nodded his head, and showed Lena the sticky note full of words, and then he looked at Fernando and asked, "How many void creatures are there?"

"Ten or more, even though we only encountered ten, which doesn't sound like a big number, but the horrible scene was enough to be the scariest nightmare of my life, no, not only me, but the rest of the team as well. Fernando's head drooped limply.

Li Jinyi put one hand on Fernando's shoulder and comforted: "Don't be afraid, face it with a smile, the best way to eliminate fear is to face fear and come on." ”

After that, he walked up to the mayor of the town and whispered: "The information has been collected, we plan to go to the shroud area to reconnoiter first, please be sure to do a good job in the security of the town, and don't let similar kidnappings happen again." ”

Mayor Mare sighed and nodded, "I've hidden the rest of the children in a safe place, don't worry. I hope you can return safely. ”

Li Jinyi said goodbye to the mayor of the town with Lena, and as soon as they arrived in the corridor, they saw Lu Xin chatting with the young nurse talking and laughing. Li Jinyi felt a sudden murderous intent on his side, and hurriedly pretended not to see anything and continued to walk forward, and then secretly looked back, only to see Lena's eyes wandering between Lu Xin and the nurse for a few moments, her face sank sharply, and she walked behind Lu Xin with fast and unchaotic steps, pulled him out of the hospital by pulling his back collar.

Li Jinyi originally thought that Lu Xin was going to be scolded by splitting his head and covering his face, but when he went out to take a look, he saw Lena standing on the side of the road, explaining to him the information he had just collected in a soft voice.

"Hmm, I can't be mistaken, right?" Li Jinyi rubbed his eyes, and the feeling of "outsider" came again.

"What are you doing standing there? Lu Xin beckoned to him.

You weren't even scolded?Ah, I know, it must have been because I bribed Lena for an extremely hearty breakfast this morning! Damn! And I only have a bowl of beef noodles! The more I think about it, the more angry I become! Li Jinyi walked towards the two of them slanderously.

The three of them discussed as they walked north along the road. From here, you can already see the masterpiece of the Void Engine, those lilac curtains that stretch across the sky. Inside the light curtain is the Void Engine's area of influence.

If the angle of view is high enough, such as on a satellite, you will see that the light curtains look like giant bubbles crawling on the ground.

In order to avoid startling the snakes, they decided to go on foot.

At Lu Xin's suggestion, the three of them came to a dense forest in the mountains on the outskirts of the town, preparing to enter the shrouded area from there.

Lu Xin brushed aside the dense forest leaves in front of him and asked casually, "Do you think those herbivores will eat meat if they mutate?"

"Haven't you read the Void Guide? Lena held the dust spark in her hand and cautiously observed her surroundings.

"Then the wild boar will bite after mutating?" Lu Xin asked again.

"Wild boars are omnivores, and they can bite without mutating!" Lena explained angrily.

"Isn't it an arch?"

"......" Lena was speechless.

"Isn't it an arch?" Lu Xin saw that no one answered, so he asked again.

"You're bothered!" she was completely impatient with the nonsensical question.

In front of the team, Li Jinyi had already come to the light curtain in the Void Shroud Area. Up close, the light curtain is very, cloudy, and constantly flowing. He grabbed the trunk of the tree beside him with one hand, and reached out with the other to touch the wall of purple shadows, and when he touched it, there was no discomfort in his fingertips. So he took a bold step forward.

For a moment, it was as if I had arrived in another world, where the light was much darker than outside, and the oxygen content in the air was a little lower.

Lu Xin and Lena then walked in.

"All wireless signals are going to be interfered with, so be careful not to get separated. Li Jinyi reminded.

Lu Xin looked around and said, "Actually, there is another reason why I chose to start from the dense forest on this mountain. ”

With that, he summoned the Moon Spirit Rope and presented it in front of the two of them.

"This thing can produce a lot of pull, if it is paired with two thick tree trunks, it can be turned into a catapult, similar to a slingshot, I will tie you two to your body, and use the light cat rune and slow fall spell at the same time, you should be able to fly out for thousands of meters, saving a lot of time." And because of the dim light inside, it should be difficult to spot if we change the color of the magic shield to the same as the Void Light Curtain. Lu Xin looked at the two of them, "Do you want to give it a try?"

"It's a bit risky, but it feels like it's worth a try, after all, time is pressing, and the sooner you can get there, the better, on the premise of not being discovered. Li Jinyi nodded.

Both boys looked at Lena at the same time, asking for her opinion.

"It's a bit unreliable, but it's safer in the air than on the ground. "If only the ship's stealth function hadn't failed in the shroud, Lena thought to herself.

"That's agree?" Lu Xin shook the rope with a smile and turned to find a suitable position.

A few minutes later, on a cliff with several towering trees, Lu Xin used the Moon Spirit Cord to tie the torsos of several people back to back, and then activated the Light Cat Rune and the Slow Fall Technique.

"Are you ready, it's time to take off!" He stretched out his hands and pointed at the two big trees in front of him, and the left and right strings of the moon spirit rope snatched out in an instant, and reached the trunk of the tree dozens of meters away in a few tenths of a second, instantly generating a huge pull, pulling the three people who reduced the weight of the runes into the air, the speed was completely beyond Lena's imagination, and her screams echoed in the dense forest.

In the forest, several mutant wild boars heard the cry, raised their huge and twisted heads, and looked at the three people who were flying in the air, and a stream of turbid air erupted from their noses, as if they were indignant that the fat that reached their mouths flew again.
