Chapter 233: Return
Zing, Zing-
The sound of scattered footsteps on the snow. 「」
Lin An's floating saucer followed people scattered back and forth, and everyone centered on her, but they didn't dare to deviate from her position for more than three feet.
Lin An stood on the invisible floating saucer, her higher position made her vision very clear, she frowned and felt the vague premonition of the crisis in her heart, and her gaze fell on the person who opened the way in front of her.
A white thread suddenly appeared in her field of vision, and it snapped away from it.
"Go this way—be careful, Ram!"
When Lin An's voice came out, Ram kicked his legs violently, and Huo Ran pounced.
Whew――
A condensed column of white air grazed his back, spraying vertically upwards from a sudden crack in the ground.
A hook belt made of cooked cowhide with an iron hook at the end of Ram's body was grazed by the air column, and it disappeared out of thin air without even the process of burning, and a few wisps of green smoke drifted out.
Ram didn't look behind him, and after he threw himself on the ground, he quickly rolled and crawled away from his original position before rolling over.
No one laughed at his movements, and several mages who were close to Lin An even envied his swift and neat movements. 「」
After all, although they were closer to Lin An, this kind of scorching air column that appeared on the ground for no reason was not long-sighted, and when it chose the target to attack, it would not take into account whether you were a noble mage or a civilian, and before them, they had already learned from the past.
In less than 500 zhang of space, their group had already lost four people—one mage and three soldiers.
almost shot Ram's fatal air column to three feet above the ground. The high temperature carried by it has only begun to dissipate, and it seems that the temperature has increased a little.
Ram's eyebrows were covered with snow particles, and within a few seconds they turned into water and flowed down.
The ground is getting softer and softer, losing the icy hardness that characterizes the Far North Heath. And the people from the south of the wasteland who hate the ice and snow here are not happy in the slightest. The muddy snow slows down their trek and makes it difficult for them to dodge.
The earth shook from time to time, like a plate of porridge about to boil.
Lin An and others are trying to get away from the center that is about to boil. Dodge in the outer circle.
Behind them, with a certain point as the center of the circle, there are more than 100 white air columns of different heights distributed irregularly on the ground, and the closer to the inner circle, the denser the air columns are distributed.
Lin An felt as if the place had suddenly changed from an ice field to a certain tropical area, and these irregular jets of air seemed to be the precursor to the imminent eruption of some kind of hot spring or volcano. "" Came without warning in a short period of time.
Lin An no longer dared to think about what kind of scene would be under the mine now.
If they can't get out of a certain range of danger before these precursors end and the real danger arrives, then their fate will not be much better than those in the mines.
She held a regular square stone in her hand, and this was when she was still in the Magic Capital. Before going to the ruins of Sky City, I quietly purchased an enchantment rune.
But what she didn't expect was that this rune was useless in the ruins, nor in the Tower of Babel, and even when she was promoted, it was useless because she couldn't separate her spiritual power to open the space, but it was possible to use it here.
This enchantment rune with a second-level defensive enchantment attached to it was the best defense Lin An could find in this situation, although she doubted that the enchantment inside would be able to withstand that white air column for more than three seconds.
She turned on the elemental filtering function of the robe, although the robe that did not defend against the circle may be when facing the impact of the air pillar. It will be pierced like a thin layer of paper.
But in front of that kind of white air pillar, there was actually no difference between an ordinary magic robe and a magic robe with defensive power attached to it - the condensation and impact power of the white air pillar had already far exceeded the upper limit of the defense of the ordinary defense array. 「」
It wasn't that the others didn't notice Lin An's actions, but they didn't care if Lin An had rare space equipment on him.
They are also desperately trying to increase their defense, and the net worth of Ike and the others is far inferior to Lin An. They took out all the scrolls at the bottom of the box, and shields of various colors appeared around them.
The shaking of the ground became more and more frequent, and they felt like they were running on the waves, except for Lin An on the floating saucer, the others almost fell in a few steps, and Lin An had already thrown them a long distance.
But no one stopped advancing, they desperately gathered in the direction of Lin An, or many took a few steps, and finally saved their lives.
With the will to survive, people burst out to their maximum potential.
But the final moment has finally arrived.
The earth roared at its last!
With a certain point hundreds of feet behind them as the center of the circle, a huge white column of air suddenly gushed, and the afterwaves pushed in all directions with high heat.
The earth is like a big stone falling from a pot of boiling porridge, splashing white porridge flowers, and finally boiling and surging angrily!
People whose feet have touched the bottom seem to feel a big wave coming from behind them, they can't react at all, their bodies are already flying high and flying forward!
Lin An, who was sitting on the floating disc from afar, only felt that his head was buzzing, his ears were deaf, and he couldn't hear any sound at all!
Huo Ran's mental power was out of control, her whole body suddenly fell directly from the floating saucer, and as soon as her hands and feet touched the ground, she was thrown up by the earth, feeling that her chest was almost crushed, and a miserable cry suddenly stopped in her throat!
……
……
If Lin An's gaze could see within a hundred miles of the center of the Law Circle through a distance of thousands of miles, then she would confirm the guess in her heart and understand the cause of the sudden fall of the natural disaster. 「」
A quarter of an hour ago-
In the dark gray majestic fortress at the southern end of the 100-mile radius of the Law Circle, many people with swords or robes gathered outside a hall, looking up at the sky above the very center of the Law Circle.
Most of them looked like they were over thirty years old, most of them were dressed in robes, and their temperament and demeanor exuded a calm and steady aura of superiority, but they did not care about the majesty of their strong men, and like the others around them, they looked north with a look of expectation or heaviness on their faces, forming a very neat and stupid scene in the eyes of outsiders.
In the hall, the old man who was originally sitting on the main seat when he was sending in the participants. "The position remained the same, but he also opened his old drooping eyes, and looked up to the north, as if his vision could penetrate the ceiling made of large stones.
At the northern end of the 100-mile radius of the law circle. On the altar where the torches were burned, the priest dressed in red knelt around the center of the altar, under the altar. Torches jumped, and the puddles of ash beneath the torches seemed to tell a silent expectation.
The high priest standing in the center of the altar fluttered in white and looked to the sky.
People didn't have to wait long, and soon, a vision appeared in the direction they were looking.
A slender but incomparably obvious pillar of light broke through the dark clouds as if falling from beyond the plane. A pale white shadow of a long tower appeared in the pillar of light, connecting the heavens and the earth, standing between heaven and earth, leading straight beyond the unreachable clouds.
A powerful celestial power pressed down on people's bodies, and that powerful power seemed to touch the soul. It makes people feel irresistible, and they worship it one after another.
Only a few of them were like the old man sitting on the main seat of the hall, who did not kneel and stood up, their strong backbones withstood the pressure, and one after another spells and the light of fighting qi faded on their bodies, and they slowly stood firm in the huge pressure.
……
- Atlantis, the capital of magic,
-- Saya, the resting place,
-- In the temple of the holy mountain of Olympus,
――The secret realm of the Sword Saint Mountain outside the Meilin Imperial Capital.
- The sea god capital on the border between the Pere Empire and Fito......
……
In all corners of the continent outside the circle of laws, far away from the arctic ice field, some people also seemed to feel something, stopped the movement of their hands, and looked at the distant sky, their eyes deep and long.
Yearning, anticipation, loss...... The eyes of these people looking at the Tower of Illusions were extremely complicated. There is no one who has never sighed in his heart that his life was not at the right time.
Standing at their height, they have lived a long time, enjoyed the prosperity of the world, they are already a group of people who stand at the peak of the human race, maybe they still have attachment to the world, but no one does not expect to go to the next level, go further, to climb the peak that they have been pursuing all their lives.
However, no matter how people feel about it, the white tower shadow is indifferent, as if looking down on the gods of the world, indifferent and merciless.
Dotted with stars.
A little glow began to appear around the shadow of the tower, like the light that came out of the gray of the sky, slowly descending and casting it in all directions. Among them, nearly 100 Dao were extraordinarily clustered and descended to several landing points.
There were people crawling outside the hall, and the old man standing in the hall was holding a staff that was higher than his body, looking at the nearly twenty rays of light falling from the sky, his eyes were mixed with relief and pain.
"Less than half of them......"
The old man muttered.
He looked at the glow at the northern end, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and then chased after the other rays scattered far and near, but none of them fell to the south of the Law Circle, and the participants sensed thousands of miles away when they entered.
"Could it be that he died in it......" The old man's eyes flashed with disappointment, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and his eyes became more and more cloudy, "It's a pity, the ...... of my human race"
In the same vein, in several different places, there were exclamations of regret or excitement.
The high priest looked out into the southern sky and laughed.
……
In the fortress two hundred miles south of the underground temple, a gentle young man appeared from the light, brushed an inconspicuous sapphire ring on the ring finger of his right hand, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Soon, he seemed to remember something, and he looked out the south window at the sky, ignoring the noise that was gradually ringing outside the door.
There was no sign of the gray sky being illuminated by the light.
There was a hint of complexity in the young man's eyes, I don't know whether it was disappointment or peace of mind, even if the face that was as gentle as the warm sun was covered by haze, it couldn't hide the affinity temperament that had been deliberately cultivated since childhood.
“…… I didn't even come out, although the talent is strong, but unfortunately the strength and luck are not good,"
The young man's expression is indifferent, and there is a strong self-confidence and ambition hidden under the temperament that is not aggressive.
"It's good to have one less possible roadblock, but it's a pity that I thought I could be an interesting opponent!"
