Chapter 874: Sub-Plane and Secret Place
Saving Angus, Lin An turned around, and the portal was indeed completely closed.
Although it was the expected result, the corners of Lin An's eyes still jumped slightly.
She came back to her senses and surveyed her surroundings.
The place where she and Angus were was on the edge of a cliff.
The ridge on which the cliff is located is mainly stony and covered with a thin layer of earth, which makes the grass on the ground sparse and even the taller shrubs rare.
The air is not dry, the edge of the cliff is filled with fresh moisture, and if you listen closely, you can hear the sound of water flowing from below the cliff, clanging against the rocks along the riverbed.
The sky is not high, but it is not oppressive, it presents a yellowish white, the light is bright but not dazzling, like an afternoon near dusk, if you look closely, you will find that the light on the horizon is more yellow.
The ridge on which Lin An is located is part of a large stretch of rolling foothills.
Standing on the cliff and looking down on the plain below, the yellow and green sparse vegetation on the plain reminds Lin An of the African savannah in the animal world, wild and full of life.
Then, as if in response to the situation, Lin An just thought of the animal world, and soon found some small black dots accompanied by billowing yellow dust, appearing on the horizon at the end of his sight.
As the distance gradually narrowed, Lin An could see clearly that it was a large group of zebras with long plate-like horns, and twenty or thirty lions with scorpion tails were chasing among the zebra herd, hunting prey.
"A new sub-plane...... Well, at least it's much more vibrant than the last one, hehe-it seems that the law is much more complete, and the suppression of mental power is not so great. ”
No one would confuse that lifeless lightning and thundering sub-plane with the one in front of him, but this was not good news for Lin An.
The only slightly better news is that the laws of this plane seem to be more similar to those of the main plane:
The radius of the half realm of Lin An's embodied spiritual power was originally one zhang, that is, within this range. Lin An could materialize his mental power and attack at will, with almost no load, and in that lifeless sub-plane, the radius of the half-realm was suppressed to one-third. This subplane is two-thirds;
Moreover, after Lin An's experiment, he found that half of the spells could be released, mainly some spells of the plastic energy system, illusion system and protection system, although the consumption and other aspects have increased, and the effect of the spell has also decreased-this is obviously the reason why her spatial cutting can be released smoothly just now, as early as when he saw Angus's half-formed magic array, Lin An had already realized this.
Coupled with the fact that the natural divine arts were basically unaffected—the superiority of divine power at the law level was fully reflected here—in general, Lin An was in this unfamiliar secondary plane. Having enough self-preservation, even if she needs to stay here for a little longer, is enough for her to let go of her worries about survival.
"Well, the Earth Temple has also sealed a sub-plane, I shouldn't have any surprises." Lin An said to himself, "However, one law is similar to the Demon Realm, and the other law is similar to the main plane - is it just a coincidence?" ”
Turning his head to look at Angus lying in a pool of blood, Lin An groaned slightly, and instantly captured an extremely fast flash of inspiration in his mind.
So she took out the codex and quill in the imprint space, and quickly wrote down her thoughts and questions at this time. For future reference:
[The cycle of the evolution of life in the new sub-plane, and even the formation of biological chains? Plane split? A change in the law? 】
In an unfamiliar foothills of a strange sub-plane, it is clearly not a good place to delve into the mysteries of magic.
Lin An didn't stay immersed for too long, closed the codex, put the pen and paper back, and took out the hand of Ibn Cales, the belt of the angel of light, the cloak of gray shadow and other equipment from the space and put them on.
"Well, a new friend has arrived."
Slowly tie the cloak tie into a bow. Tucked the corners of his robe, Lin An turned around.
At the sight of the landing, a small group of blue-gray demon wolves with fur similar to the color of the mountain rock jumped out from behind the rock, approaching in an orderly encirclement. The belly clinging to the abdomen and the dripping saliva show that they are not well-intentioned.
As if he could sense Lin An's threat, the wolves, led by a dark cyan wolf, let out a threatening low roar, lowered their bodies, and staggered to the ground and half-surrounded Lin An.
"It looks like a variant of the earth-based rock wolf," Lin An touched his nose, "After staying for a long time, my nose is numb, and I didn't realize that such a strong smell would attract ...... Hey! ”
Obviously, the strong smell of blood here is the culprit who seduced the wolves, Lin An was planning to use spiritual power or magic to expel this group of "puppies", but when the wolves approached, she inadvertently noticed a detail that made her change her mind-
The wolves surrounding her, although each one looked at Angus who was lying not far behind Lin An from time to time, but it was not salivating or uneasy to treat it as food, Lin An's natural perception could still distinguish it.
"Even Angus fell unconscious and fell to the ground, so uneasy and alert, as if he had only suffered a loss once—as if he had discovered some secret again!"
Lin An raised his eyebrows and recited the incantation.
After some suspicion and struggle, the wolves quickly settled down irresistibly, and their hostility subsided, and they gazed curiously and affectionately at the two-legged "walking beast".
Summoning the tall head wolf and talking to it in beast language for a while, Lin An waved his hand, like a green glow sprinkled on the head wolf and the wolves behind him.
【"Go ahead! ”】
Lin An waved his hand.
The wolf rubbed the corners of her robe meekly, whined a few times, gathered his men, took a few steps, and reluctantly looked back twice, before leading the wolves into the mountains and rocks and disappearing.
"Does Angus have a place to live nearby? Didn't he just get the Earth Temple some time ago? ”
Seeing the wolves disappear, Lin An frowned, and a trace of doubt flashed in his deep eyes.
After a moment of silence, Lin An glanced at Angus, and saw that he was not yet awake, but walked to the place where the portal disappeared, took out a scroll, and cast a spell to copy the unformed magic array on the ground onto the scroll.
His gaze swept over some of the rather familiar magic symbols on it, and the corners of Lin An's lips were slightly cold, and he snorted.
The spell cast a mark on the side of a nearby rock, and Lin An used his spiritual power to roll up Angus and float away in the direction pointed by the head wolf.
……
Angus gradually woke up.
The hard, cold touch underneath is somewhat familiar.
He didn't open his eyes immediately, and he didn't even move the eyeballs under his eyelids, but Lin An's cold and calm voice sounded in the next moment:
"Awake? Wake up and get up. ”
Angus had to open his eyes.
The dim light shone into his eyes, and it was not dazzling. He sat up, subconsciously raised his hand in front of his eyes and blocked it, the movement moved the chains on his body, and the sound of metal friction clanged.
Subsequently. He found himself in a place that was too familiar to be familiar:
It is a black metal cage, between the upper and lower two-inch thick alloy plates are ninety-six metal rods with the thickness of arms, which seem to be wedged, but in fact the metal rods and the upper and lower bottom surfaces are completely fused and welded into one, and the exit is located at the bottom of the cage, and the lock is outside the cage - a position that is impossible for the prisoner to reach;
Considering that this kind of cage is used to lock the demonic beast for research, and the highest level of the demonic beast in this sub-plane is the sixth-level peak, the alloy material that makes up the iron cage is mixed with quite a lot of dull demonic powder when it is fused:
The most striking feature of this expensive material is the alloy that makes it immune to the effects of magic - and of course to the power of magic - and fused with it. It is one of the heaviest and hardest known metal materials.
Moreover, the metal cage is now off the ground, and there is a thick chain on top of it that connects to the ceiling, causing the metal cage to hang in the air three feet above the ground.
The ceiling is painted with a magic array that suppresses spiritual power, any creature that enters the area covered by the ceiling. Mental power will be continuously drained by the Divine Array, maintaining a level that can wake up the imprisoned creature, but do anything other than sustain life and physiological metabolism, and it will quickly pass out.
Even more beautifully, Angus was physically intact, and the tendons of his hands and feet that had been severed before his coma had been completely restored -- but except for his body. Everything on his body before he fell unconscious was gone—he should be glad that Lin An, who had given him a robe of cloth that would cover his body, so that he would not be naked—five long metal chains, one end fastened to his limbs and neck, and the other end was attached to the corners of the cell and the ceiling outside the cage.
Of course, he has nothing to complain about.
Because of the facilities in this cage. It was originally there, and it was presupposed to take care of the most powerful king of this sub-plane, but it was just used on him by Lin An without pulling it - Angus did not expect that one day, he would be in it at the beginning of setting up this prison.
Lin An was separated by the fence of the prison. Sitting in an armchair that was not too comfortable, but certainly more comfortable than a prison, there was only a yellowish wall lamp, and the light cast a long black shadow at her feet.
A book spread out on her lap seemed to have been spent waiting for a long time.
Behind Lin An is a small but well-equipped real yàn room, which is convenient for easy access to materials, observation materials, and experiments, and even a low couch as a preset for long-term needs.
The secret base is occupied by the dove, and he is reduced to a prisoner imprisoned in the secret prison, this gap will undoubtedly make people feel ups and downs;
The distinction between the roles of the observer and the observed, both inside and outside the prison, and the deprivation of human dignity, can make anyone with a high wall of heart lose his or her mind and act in a way that best reflects his true feelings.
But after Angus woke up, after a short period of surprise and scrutiny, he calmed down, nodded to Lin An, and said:
"I didn't expect you to find it here."
"I didn't expect you to build such a secret research institute in this plane, considering that there is only one trace of living here, your perseverance, planning and execution cannot but amaze me!"
Lin An shook his head, "And looking at the regional planning of this research institute, you don't plan to live alone?" ”
