Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Return
On this day, the weather was exceptionally hot and the sun was shining.
A slightly illusory black shadow, from far and near, is obviously a brain eater.
"This guy is here again...... someone said in a near-collapse manner.
"The more scared you are, the more you'll be chosen, so it's better not to scream!"
Lin Yang didn't say a word, staring at the brain-eater walking into the frozen cemetery, and the monster began to pick its prey again.
After sucking on a few corpses, it came to Lin Yang again.
At this moment, there is no ice in the vicinity of Lin Yang.
The brain-eater's funny and scarlet eyes stared at Lin Yang, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a sneer of playfulness, as if this guy knew that Lin Yang was not dead.
It slowly opened its mouth, ready to spit out the long, black, slime-covered straw.
"Whoosh!"
The straw spit out halfway, and at that moment, the ground shook violently, and there was a loud bang!
Bang!
One of the people was unsteady under their feet, and many ice cubes fell to the ground in response, even the brain-eaters were no exception, and one of them stumbled under their feet and almost fell. It turned its head in horror and looked at the place where heaven and earth met in the distance, only to see a fiery red magma pillar erupting from a huge crack in the earth's surface, reaching into the sky!
The Brain Eater roared and fled.
"This is ......," the white-haired old man said uneasily, looking at the pillar of magma fire that pierced through the heavens and the earth.
"That's right, it's a Plane Origin Explosion! This plane is about to collapse! The other guy screamed.
"It's over, we're all going to die here!"
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Three loud bangs sounded one after another, and three pillars of magma and fire, from three different directions, broke through the surface of the earth, towered into the sky, and penetrated the heavens and the earth!
In the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth cracked, huge cracks were torn open from the ground, countless hot and fiery magma seeped out of the cracks, and the entire plane was about to completely collapse!
"Let's think of a way, we can't die here!"
"Bastard! I can't even move, what else can I do? ”
"There must be a way! With so many people present, as long as they work together, they will definitely be able to get out of this damn place! ”
Everyone, you and I say a word, and it is a mess.
"Click!"
A slight sound came from a certain block of ice, and everyone probed their senses into that piece of ice, and they were immediately overjoyed!
On the top of the ice, a slight crack appeared, and the crack expanded rapidly, and then only a "bang" was heard, and the whole ice exploded, and the corpses in it were immediately liberated!
However, the corpse was already dead and could no longer die, and even if it was liberated, it would have no meaning.
Click! Click!
The continuous sound came from the ice cubes, and cracks appeared on more ice cubes, only to hear the sound of "bang bang bang" endlessly, and one by one corpses were liberated from the ice!
"Hahaha, Lao Tzu has finally come out!" Someone, Da Lu laughed and shook off the ice chips all over his body, and released a glittering light from his feet, and rose to the sky, just trying to leave this plane that was about to be destroyed as soon as possible.
"I'm out too! The sooner you leave, the better, you can't stay in this place for long, everyone, I can't help you, so I can only talk about it myself! Someone screamed, got up from the ground, and flew away.
More and more of the living dead broke free from the ice and scattered in all directions.
Those who can come to this plane are by no means ordinary people, most of them are legendary powerhouses, flying in the sky, roaming the astral boundary, and tearing apart crystal walls.
Finally, it was Lin Yang's turn, looking at the ice cube that trapped him "click" and cracked a thin slit, Lin Yang was overjoyed.
However, the crack only spread a few centimeters long and showed no signs of expanding.
“…… That's it? Lin Yang was stunned, watching the people around him break free one by one and flee in all directions, he couldn't help but shout: "Your sister! God, don't take me like this! ”
Bang!
Dozens of miles away, a pillar of magma fire rose into the sky, with a diameter of thousands of kilometers, and the momentum was terrifying.
There was a huge earthquake on the ground of the frozen cemetery, and the ice block where Lin Yang was was fell unsteadily, only to hear a "bang", and hit a certain rock fiercely, and finally completely shattered.
"It's finally out!" Lin Yang got up, moved his stiff limbs, and prepared to leave.
Then he found out about a fatal problem: he couldn't fly! He came here directly with the help of the pitch-black portal left by the female dean, and if he didn't find that portal, then he would still be trapped in this plane and slowly die out with this plane!
Even if the gravity of this plane was weak and he could float in the sky, Lin Yang had not reached the Sacred Domain and Legendary level after all, and he could not break through the blockade of the crystal wall!
But this plane is not small no matter how you look at it, and time is so short, how can you find that pitch-black portal immediately?
Shouting bad luck in his heart, Lin Yang ran in a certain direction in a panic.
Rumble!
There was another loud bang, and Lin Yang looked back, and couldn't help but shrink his pupils violently.
An incomparably huge pillar of magma fire rose directly from under the frozen cemetery, and all the ice blocks were vaporized and vaporized in an instant, and the living dead who had not escaped remained there forever.
……
At night, seventeen pillars of magma fire had risen in the entire plane, like seventeen giant pillars of optimus, supporting heaven and earth.
On the ground, deep and shallow terrifying cracks are everywhere, some cracks are only ten meters wide, some cracks are as wide as several kilometers, and countless cracks crisscross like a huge spider web.
"If it continues to collapse at this speed, in three days at most, this plane will be completely finished......" Lin Yang was shocked in his heart.
Jumping across a crack dozens of meters wide, in the depths of the crack, fiery red hot magma suddenly spewed out, a few drops splashed on Lin Yang's buttocks, and several big holes were immediately burned on his pants, Lin Yang grinned in pain, screaming again and again, fortunately, there was no danger, and he was not seriously injured.
After walking forward for hundreds of miles, due to the problem of gravity in this plane, he could jump more than ten meters away in one step, and the stamina consumed by walking here was minimal, and he almost didn't feel tired.
Under the moonlight, an abandoned monument appeared in front of Lin Yang.
He looked up and couldn't help but be overjoyed, pointing to a certain place and exclaiming, "Above this monument, is the portal!" ”
Indeed, as far as the eye can see, at the top of a building, there is a pitch-black portal, looming.
Lin Yang didn't say a word, and immediately rushed into the monument.
……
It is impossible to tell when this monument was left behind, the only thing that can be confirmed is that every building around it is quite old, and the streets are full of rubble, dilapidated, bones, and dust.
A few minutes later, Lin Yang successfully came to the foot of the majestic building, jumped forward, and flew onto the platform at the top of the building.
Then he saw the last thing he wanted to see.
The Brain Eater, standing in the middle of the platform.
"This is your lair?" Lin Yang asked with some surprise, he wasn't sure if the other party had wisdom or human language, strictly speaking, he had never seen this kind of creature, not even those old monsters in the frozen cemetery, this guy represented the unknown and fear to everyone.
The Brain Eater didn't speak, and directly used his divine sense to transmit: "This plane is about to be destroyed. ”
"So you can still speak." Lin Yang was a little excited, and he could negotiate if he could speak: "I just want to get out of here, I don't have any malicious intent." ”
"I want to get out of here, I don't want to die with this plane." The Brain Eater's soul transmitted: "But on the other side of this portal, it is heaven for you, but it is hell for me, as soon as I enter, I am afraid that I will be killed immediately." ”
Lin Yang finally understood what the brain eater meant, and asked, "You want to go with me?" ”
"I can be your subordinate for the time being, or your guardian, I am strong, as long as I think it is safe, I will naturally leave you." Said the Brain Eater.
"How can I trust you?" Lin Yang spread his hands: "What if after you go out, you eat me like you treat those frozen corpses?" ”
"Once I get out of here, I will also take risks, many people are interested in my body, I have been to other planes before, those powerful guys, when they see me, they all chase me like crazy, so as long as you reveal my existence, I think many people will arrive as soon as possible." "So we have to trust each other, I can kill you, and you can kill me through someone else," said the braineater. ”
"Then why don't you just tear the dimensional crystal wall and escape?" Lin Yang asked rhetorically, "Since you said that you have been to other planes, then you also have the ability to roam the astral boundary, and I am just a small character of level 200." ”
At the mention of this, the Brain Eater showed a gloomy look and said: "It's hard to say, at present, I can only tell you that my original strength is much stronger than now, and for some reason, it has become what it is now, and my current level is not much higher than yours, level 250." So if I want to get out of here, I have to rely on this portal, on you. ”
Lin Yang touched his chin, and after thinking about it for three seconds, he said, "I'm still not at ease, but there is one thing that can allow us to make this deal." ”
As he spoke, he pulled a scroll from his bosom.
"What is this?" The Brain Eater asked.
"Magic Contract Scroll." Lin Yang said: "We can conclude a contract, reach a partnership, form a bond, and it is not easy to judge each other. ”
There are three types of Contract Scrolls, in order of order:
Soul Contract Scroll: The highest contract, equivalent to a comrade-in-arms, cannot be betrayed unless both parties agree to dissolve it.
Magic Contract Scroll: Medium contract, equivalent to generals and subordinates, each time you use it, you need to consume a magic contract scroll, once betrayed, you will be affected by magic backlash, the mortality rate is quite high, but you can betray, and there are examples of surviving magic backlash.
Slavery Contract Scroll: The lowest contract, equivalent to an employer and a slave, can be unilaterally terminated by the employer, or betrayed, at the cost of being eaten by the power of the contract, which is one level lower than the magic backlash, and the survival rate is medium.
This scroll is something that Lin Yang has already prepared, and there are a few more of the same scrolls in the package, the original plan, Lin Yang planned to use it after graduating from the Mage Academy, but he didn't expect to use it in advance here, and the first target that might be subdued was actually a strange-shaped creature.
The scroll was in the hands of the Brain Eater, and when it looked at it, and when it saw that there was no problem, it nodded and said, "No problem, I accept it." ”
"Good." Lin Yang spread out the scroll, and pressed a magic handprint on the scroll with his thumb.
The Brain Eater also pressed a handprint.
Immediately, Lin Yang tore up the scroll, and a contract magic array appeared under the feet of the two, and the contract relationship was officially concluded.
"It's not good to stay here, let's go!" Lin Yang exerted force under his feet, kicked hard, and soared into the sky like a cannonball, almost savagely crashing into the pitch-black portal in mid-air.
Braineaters followed.
……
A scorching sun, high in the sky.
The temperature on the ground was outrageously high, only ten meters away, it looked a bit like mist, and if you put an egg on the ground, it would be completely cooked in a few minutes.
This is a desert area with uninhabited sand dunes one after another, and occasionally you can see a dead tree and some skeletons of cows, sheep and horses.
The gusts of wind blew, and the yellow sand covered the sky.
In mid-air, a pitch-black portal suddenly opened, and then the portal quickly annihilated.
Lin Yang and the Brain Eater fell out of the portal.
"This is not an academy!" Lin Yang shook his head, looked around, and couldn't help exclaiming: "If I'm not mistaken, this is a place of turmoil and strife!" ”
The land of turmoil and strife, located in the western part of the Faren Continent, is composed of five regions: the Death Desert, the Bloodstained Highlands, the Gray Regions, the Dark Forests, and the Dwarf Mountains. And the place where Lin Yang and the others are now is the Death Desert.
When Lin Yang and his team first arrived at the Faeron plane, they wanted to go to the land of turmoil and strife, but they didn't expect that after many years, they actually came here in this way at this moment.
The vastness of the Desert of Death, its harsh environment, and the frequent duststorms that make it extremely easy to get lost, give it its name, with the exception of a few famous oases, which are almost inaccessible.
took out a wide cloak and a hat from the package and handed it to the brain eater, and then Lin Yang took out the panoramic map of the Faeron plane, looked at it for a long time, and finally found a way, and the two walked slowly under the scorching sun.
A few days later, under a small sand dune, the two found a desert caravan composed of a dozen camels, greeted the leader of the caravan, gave some gold coins, and followed the caravan, rode on camels, and traveled all the way to the east.
To the east of the Death Desert, at the end of which are the rolling mountains, over the mountains, you will arrive at the territory of the Holy Federation, the familiar horse bandit base, the knight leader, several subordinates, the mother nest, and so on, Lin Yang still remembers it vividly, vividly remembered, I don't know if they are still safe and sound after three years of separation?
Suddenly remembering the matter of the Brain Eater, Lin Yang asked, "What happened to you in that non-existent plane?" ”
The Brain Eater sighed: "This matter is a long story, my hometown is in a very distant plane, our clan, after adulthood, the strength can automatically reach the legendary level, because I am full of curiosity about the outside world, so I still set foot on the path of plane travel......"
"I've been to many planes, there are secondary, primary, semi-plane, and many strange planes, sometimes I will be hunted down, sometimes I will be chased and killed, but every time I encounter danger, I can escape safely, until I come to the plane that does not exist, and I meet that damn woman......" said the braineater's eyes.
"A woman?" Lin Yang suddenly became interested.
"Hmm." The Brain Eater nodded, and said: "That's not a woman, I've never seen such a powerful woman, at that time my strength has surpassed the legend, in front of her, it's just vulnerable, like an ant being played with at will." She wasted most of my strength, and her strength was directly reduced to level 250, and she lowered the ban on me, and I never made an inch of progress again. Maybe that plane is not her destination, only stayed for a few days and the woman left in a hurry, at that time she also threatened to go back, let me be her pet when the time comes, but fortunately, God has eyes, this woman has never returned, there has been no news for several years, maybe she forgot me, maybe she ran into trouble in the depths of the astral plane, and the ghost knows what happened to the road......"
Lin Yang was completely shocked.
If the Brain Eater was telling the truth, then its strength had surpassed the legend, and it was still vulnerable in front of that woman, so terrifying, what kind of sacredness was that woman?
Swallowing his saliva, Lin Yang asked, "Before you were defeated, what was your strength?" Period of faith? Divine fire period? Godhead? Or is it higher? ”
The Brain Eater shook his head and said with a smile: "That's the path that only those who hope to be gods will take, after crossing the threshold of the legend, even if you don't take the path of becoming a god, the level can still be increased." At my peak, I should have been over 2,000 levels, equivalent to a demigod who had just condensed the light of faith. And the woman ...... She obviously didn't follow the path of the gods, and as for the level, I really can't judge. ”
"......" Lin Yang's mouth was dry, and he really didn't know what to say.
He was suddenly shocked, and suddenly thought of the long-missing female dean of the Jackdaw Fort Mage Academy, could it have something to do with this official dean of the dragon who had not seen the end of the dragon?
No one knows what to do.
==================
Hehe, who is this mysterious woman, don't you need me to say?
How do you feel about this foreshadowing?
