Hu Bin saw that many of the books on the nearby shelves were showing red runes, and the magic fluctuations on them made his heart palpitate, and it was obvious that Saruman had laid a powerful trap here.

"You're crazy about laying so many bursting runes here, Saruman!" Gandalf shouted and raised his staff in front of him, but before he could do anything about it, there was a loud explosion.

"Ahem!" Hu Bin felt dizzy, his forehead was wet, and it seemed that he had broken a wound.

The others also rose from the ground, as Gandalf had resisted most of the force in front of them, and their injuries were not serious. Hu Bin saw Gandalf standing silently in place, as if some weight had bent the old mage's waist, he walked up to Gandalf, and saw two lines of tears flowing down his eyes, and his once blazing eyes were dim.

"This is an unforgivable crime!" Anger filled Gandalf's chest at the sight of ash and unburned sparks, and his hand holding the staff did not waver even when facing the fire demon, but it trembled violently at this time. A strong coercion appeared around the mage, who had always shown his steadyness, and the light was distorted in those outgoing magic fields, making the nearby space pitch black, and Hu Bin beside him was even forced to take two steps back.

Gandalf suddenly fell to his knees and began to stir the ashes on the ground, ignoring the unburned sparks, and his white robe was soon stained.

The stone wall behind him was finally split open by a golden axe, and everyone who broke in was taken aback at Gandalf's crazy appearance. Hu Bin silently lay on the ground and flipped up with Gandalf,

"Ancient Rune Refinement, Legendary Creature Illustrated Book, Spell Theory Framework, Complete Alchemy Manual." Hu Bin read the names of the books one by one in a trance. The thought of each one hurts my heart, and they have just been reduced to ashes under Saruman's trap. As a junior mage, Hu Bin quite understands Gandalf's feelings. He knew what a huge and immeasurable treasure it was, and even the elves could not find such a rich collection of books. And Saruman was willing to blow them all up in one go.

"What are you doing in a daze, come and help!" Aragorn was the first to react, beckoning everyone to rummage through and try to salvage some books.

"Gandalf, you look really embarrassed, what a shame for a wizard." Saruman's voice came from the other side, startling everyone, and then realized that the rune that maintained the illusion had not been destroyed in the explosion, and that Saruman was using it to make a big statement.

"Saruman. You know what you bastard did, you don't deserve to be a mage. Gandalf shuddered at the voice.

"Of course I know that the collection of books left behind from the Second Age has been reduced to ashes in an instant, and the flames are so beautiful, how is it, are you distressed, hahaha!" Saruman burst out laughing.

"You're crazy!"

"I'm crazy, this is my mage tower, my collection, mine! It's mine! I can do whatever I want. Nothing will be left for you. Saruman hissed as he uttered these words, and the phantasmal runes on the wall shattered.

Gandalf was silent for a moment after hearing these words, and then searched even harder for books worth salvaging.

Hu Bin found a few books in the corner that had escaped, and it was estimated that the force of the explosion brought them here along with some of the bookshelves. The relatively intact planks protected them from the flames. He opened the book and looked at it, and found that he couldn't read the words in the book, and it seemed that there was a limit to space.

"Are there only a few copies? That's it. It's better than nothing. Gandalf saw the titles of the books Hu Bin handed him and said helplessly. He had regained his usual composure.

Gandalf wiped his hands from the relatively clean place on his robe and took a few books from Hu Bin's hand. The space hint shows that Gandalf's opinion has increased considerably.

"Although this "Fundamentals of Magic Array Architecture" is precious, it is not a very rare book, so I will give it to you!" Gandalf took out a book and handed it back to Hu Bin, and the words that could not be translated in the original book have been automatically translated by the space, and the attributes of the book have also been revealed, when Hu Bin reaches the intermediate magician, he can use this book to master the basic magic array and master this magic sub-discipline.

The magic array requires a high level of talismans and many precious spell casting materials, and it may not be possible for Hu Bin to use it when he reaches the senior mage, but Hu Bin still solemnly saved this precious magic book, who can say for sure what will happen in the future.

The others didn't have Hu Bin's luck, they only found some fragments of the book, the contents of which were completely unrecognizable from the fragments from that book, and Gandalf also knew that the matter was irreparable, and then led the others to rush to the alchemy laboratory on the fifth floor.

With the previous example, everyone has already prepared for the situation on the fifth floor, and Saruman really destroyed everything here, and it is estimated that the previous roar came from here.

The entire laboratory seemed to have been hit by a Category 10 typhoon, with fragments of test tubes and glass bottles spilling all over the test bench, unknown agents and test liquids dripping all over the ground, and a strange smell mixed with the air.

"It tastes so good." Jin Li walked in at last, muttering at the smell of the potion mixture.

"The smell? It's not good, everyone get out of here. Gandalf reacted quickly and covered his mouth and nose, and led the group back into the staircase, closing the door to the fifth floor tightly.

"Damn, it's good to retreat quickly." Hu Bin glanced at his status bar, only after staying in that laboratory for a short time, he hung up almost ten abnormal states such as sluggishness, poisoning, illusion control, and weakness, and he saw that the faces of other people were not very good, and he was obviously tricked unconsciously.

"Fortunately, the poisoning is not deep and will not be fatal, but it is a pity that it is difficult to get rid of a variety of poisons in a short period of time after mixing." Gandalf said and quietly glanced at Hu Bin, and Hu Bin happened to look at him too.

Hu Bin smiled bitterly, he touched the space ring in his hand and shook his head, the only bottle of well water left was for him to save his life. Nothing will be contributed at this time.

"Gandalf, is there any way to direct the poison gas outside?" Aragorn walked up to Gandalf and asked.

"The sealing requirements in the laboratory are very strict. Although there are special ventilation channels, Saruman obviously does not leave such a loophole. Gandalf shook his head. He could summon a gust of wind to disperse the poisonous gas, but this method was obviously not advisable for confined spaces.

"That Saruman guy is poisoning here, won't he come down himself?" Jin Li said sullenly, everyone's strength was affected to varying degrees because of poisoning, only he who came in late did not get hit.

Gandalf was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer Kimli's question.

"If you want me to say just rush over in one go, it won't take long anyway." The mouse said impatiently. His resistance was a little low, and his face was a little pale from the torment of the toxin.

"No, the door on the other side has been reinforced with runes. It takes a while to get it open. Legolas noticed details that no one else had noticed.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do?" The bearded man felt hot and cold in his body, and although his health didn't decrease much, he felt really bad. The guards were even more unbearable, and they were already a little unable to stand up if they were not as physically fit as the numbered ones.

"I need someone to take them down, which of you will." Gandalf looked around at the numbered ones and said that the guards were no longer useful in the rest of the operation.

"I'll go!" The rat made a difficult decision, although he retained a certain amount of combat power, but it was easy to have an accident in this way. His life was more important than anything else, so although he was very unwilling, he still took the task when Gandalf gave him.

"So who else wants to quit here?" Gandalf was quietly relieved to see that no one had moved. He does need some people to help him defeat Saruman. If Saruman had kept his sanity, he would have been able to defeat his opponent with some certainty, but against a mad white-robed wizard. He had a hundred ways to die with himself.

"I was very concerned just now, what the hell are you doing?" Ta Dun shouted in surprise.

"Captain. We're poisoned, don't you feel it? One of Tadun's teammates replied in a voiceless voice.

"Poisoned? When? How did I not know? Tower Shield shouted.

"You're all focused on ......." The man was about to tell the truth. Then her teammates covered her mouth, and Lynn gave the numbered one a cold look.

"Going to die, going to die, going to die! ......" A gust of cold wind drifted by, leaving behind a wisp of murderous aura.

"Are you okay? By the way, you've just drunk Moon Spring water, and you're in luck! Hu Bin suddenly realized that he knew the effect of the moon well water best.

"So you're being gassed here by that tech nerd from Saruman?" Ta Dun's tone was very surprised.

"Don't talk cool there, is there anything you can do?" The bearded man has long been unhappy with this guy, and he is the only one in the whole staff who has not been poisoned.

"Won't you put your hood on?" Ta Dun said very innocently.

Gandalf and Aragorn looked at each other, then at Ta Dun, and even Lynn glanced over, while the others were stunned by Ta Dun's words.

"Anyway, I didn't expect to be the captain!"

"I really don't want to be reminded by this!"

"Humph!"

The numberers voiced their voices, and Aragorn asked Gandalf about the feasibility of this method.

"As long as you have an idea, the problem is solved." Hu Bin stepped out of the crowd and cast a spell on himself. "The Bubble Head Charm, an apprentice-level spell that lasts for three minutes, and the mana cost tends to be close to zero as I am."

"So that's it, which of you wants to tear down the big guys on the other side?" Gandalf asked.

"I'll come on, it's not the first time I've broken down the door or something." Jin Li stepped forward.

"It's better to have someone pick you up, but it's a pity that I'm not suitable for this kind of physical work." Legolas sneered at the golden bolt.

Everyone looked at each other and found that no one had come forward, and then decisively focused their eyes on Ta Dun.

"What are you staring at me for?" Ta Dun looked down at himself and found that there was nothing abnormal, and scratched his head blankly.

……

"Bang!" As the gate broke, the golden bolt and the tower shield let out a laugh that seemed to be in their throats, and the bubbles on their heads made their voices seem comical. For the safety of all. Hu Bin still patiently added the bubble head spell to everyone before passing through the fifth layer of the laboratory together.

In the showroom, Saruman sat quietly at his desk. Even if a group of people came at the door, they didn't care.

It was the first time for Hu Bin to observe this villain **oss at such a close distance, and Saruman gave him the impression of an elegant and wise elder. More like a mage than Gandalf.

"Saruman, is there anything else you want to say?" As soon as Aragorn finished speaking, he drew his sword, and the others took out their weapons.

"It's just a bad guest coming to the door, what is there to say." Saruman slowly stood up and said to the crowd.

Gandalf's heart sank, and Saruman, whose language contained the ability to charm, actually gave up his plan to rebel against the members of the crusade team. As Saruman got up, numerous runes flashed in the showroom, and some gargoyles and high-level demonic golems appeared. Fill the space on this level.

"Hara Lan Kasova ......." Saruman moved the spell in his mouth, and then with a fierce wave of his staff, a strong spell fluctuation erupted in the magic array composed of runes, and all kinds of spells instantly flew up in the entire space. Saruman retreated to his bedroom after activating the circle, leaving two high-level demonic puppet guards in the doorway, and began to chant a powerful attack spell.

"Go stop him!" Gandalf shouted when he saw Saruman start chanting, and Saruman threw all the guards of the Mage's Tower into the battle, focusing on the white-robed companion so that Gandalf could not interfere with his chanting.

Aragorn wanted to push forward and break through the defenders' lines. It can be hit by a spell with a tricky angle, and its right leg is instantly pinned to the spot and cannot move, and can only passively resist the attack of the puppet guard. Seeing that Aragorn was in distress, the two men of Kimli and Legolas stood by his side.

Even warriors like Aragorn were overwhelmed by these puppet guards. Not to mention the numbered ones whose strength is even lower than that of the others, they were first caught off guard by a series of spells, and then under the negative influence of various pit fathers, they were attacked by the puppet guards who were not afraid of death.

The spells fired from Saruman's magic circle were not attack spells. However, the effects are more difficult than offensive spells, such as gravity, shrinking rays, curses of weakness, and human immobilization. Spells like Pain Deepening and Armor Corrosion are not numbered and willing to take them on.

Hu Bin was ready when he sensed the spell fluctuations of the magic circle, and the three spells that hit him were blocked twice by him with the holy sword. But in the end, he was still hit by a weakness curse, but fortunately, the light energy in Hu Bin's body quickly worked, and quickly dispelled the influence of the weakness curse that was biased towards the dark attribute.

"Demacia!" Just when everyone was in a bitter battle, the tower shield suddenly rushed out and shouted, whether it was the flying spells or the puppet guards with teeth and claws, they all paused in this shout, and then attacked the tower shield with more ferocious momentum.

"Damn, it seems a little tricky." Ta Dun watched the dense spells coming at him, and hurriedly hid himself behind the wide shield and crouched on the ground, and then everyone heard a miserable cry coming from the puppets, and a moment later the puppets were swept away as if they had been hit by a sledgehammer.

"Fight back." Ta Dun, who was scarred by the beating, stood up with difficulty with a smile of triumph, but when he saw the puppets standing up one after another, as if they had not received much damage, his smile couldn't help but freeze on his face.

But his delay was not without merit, and after a short break, four of his teammates came to his side one after another, and began to cooperate with each other to clean up these durable puppets one by one.

After Da Hu Bin saw the tower shield going crazy, he couldn't help but take advantage of the fact that the puppets hadn't gotten up yet, and hit a puppet with his sword, but he didn't notice the spell from the magic array, and he froze there after being concentrated by a fixation technique.

The bearded man, who had not noticed his position and was out of everyone's cover, watched as the puppet that came after him easily cut off his neck, and blood instantly gushed out of the wound, staining red.

The death of the bearded man made everyone's hearts sink, the dead head still dangling on the ground, and the smooth sailing of the first few layers made the numberers forget the threat of death, and the lesson came so quickly.

The bearded man was not the last to be killed, the scouting guy in the tower shield team tried to sneak up on a puppet guard, one was unguarded, and was caught by the puppet guard, just as he was about to break free, a torture curse hit him, and with a scream, the numbered person delayed his escape due to severe pain, and was then surrounded by three guards and killed.

"Lynn, fight me five seconds." Hu Bin didn't care whether Lin heard his words or not, concentrated and began to communicate with Ente's core, and three seconds later, Hu Bin threw out the ring in his hand.

Lin had a deep wound on her arm, and in order to cover Hu Bin's movements, she had to give up her long-range advantage and engage in melee combat with an oncoming golem with a dagger, of course, the result was that she was powerless by the powerful attack.

However, the situation was turned in an instant, and a thick stone pillar fell from the sky, squashing the puppet that was entangled with Lin like an idiot. (To be continued......)
