Although this ancient halfling relic has been corroded by wind and sand for nearly 10,000 years, it has not been completely destroyed. Even though the surface is rusty and the interior has collapsed and destroyed, its core is still intact. When Muhadi accidentally revealed its control center, the entire ancient ruins were activated.

In the cramped chamber, an alarm sounded in the language of an ancient halfling, and it was impossible to see where the source of the sound was, nor could it understand what the content of the sound was. Judging only by the tone, it seems to be informing some kind of very urgent, very strict situation.

At the same time, the ruins shook more and more violently, and the building creaked everywhere, as if it was being tugged at something. Some parts of the floor were warped in shaking, and the sirens sounded again, and the language of the ancient halfling echoed through the ancient artifact: "Warning, the hull is damaged in many places, and it cannot be started, it cannot be started." ”

No one understood the ancient language, and Muhathir frowned, trying to guess its contents. The other two looked at him at a loss, hoping that the psychic warlock would reveal some clues. At this time, the sound of the alarm sounded again: "Warning, multiple hostile targets appear around the ship. Emergency circumvention measures are initiated. ”

A violent tremor that shook the entire ancient ruins shook the entire ancient ruins, and the psychic felt as if he was being rubbed by a tremendous force, one being compressed, the other stretched. A palpable feeling of nausea and discomfort swept through his body, and the psychic had to use his trained self-control skills to barely suppress the discomfort.

Muhadi noticed that the feeling of stretching and compressing was not his own delusion. In fact, it seems that the whole space is indeed deformed, and under his gaze, the surrounding walls, oil paintings, platforms, and the two people who are traveling with him are all distorted, and the edge of the original square frame becomes a curve, and the whole world seems to become a reflection in a haha mirror.

In an emergency, the Ancient Halfling Spaceship automatically activated the Astral Brigade ability, pulling the entire ruins into the alien space known as the Astral Plane.

But the people in the ruins were not aware of the dramatic change, and it took a while for Muhadi to feel the dizziness and nausea subside, and then he noticed that the shaking of the ruins had stopped. Muscle Daddy looked around in disbelief, and Raina seemed to realize something, a little panicked.

"Warning. The ancient halfling language sounded again, "Now there are multiple unknown invaders. Start the self-defense system. ”

The walls on both sides of the inner chamber silently cut open four secret doors, and if it weren't for the sudden opening at this time, people would never have seen such mechanisms on the wall. The Psychic Warlock was vigilant, vigilantly watching the changes in the field, and behind his secret door were several strange creatures encased in a gelatinous object.

This colloidal substance is none other than the temporal extract. This strange gelatinous substance created with psychic abilities can pull the wrapped object out of the normal flow of time, not eroded by the years. As the psychic warlock watched, the gelatinous extracts were steaming, revealing the wrapped creatures.

What kind of creature is this, Muhadi exclaimed, as he looked at a wrapped creature. It looks like a large, hairless wolf, with white, sticky skin covered in strange and abstract tattoos. As it moved forward, the Psychic noticed that it didn't have a head at all. In the position of the head, a long snake-like neck grows out of the middle of the back. At the end of the neck is a surprisingly large stomach stuffed with rows of teeth.

If this creature had been sealed by an ancient halfling, it would have been at least 10,000 years old, but due to the protection of the extract, it has not aged, let alone died, and still maintains a robust posture in its heyday. Although the monster had no eyes, its mouth unmistakably turned in Muhadi's direction, spewing out a stream of acid.

The Psychic Warlock has the ability to sense battle, and when he senses the hostility of the other party, he immediately dodges. By this time, the extracts on the bodies of several creatures had been completely steamed and completely recovered, and the tattoos on their bodies shimmered with the movement.

Muhadi decided to name the monster Runehounds because of the rune-like tattoos on their bodies. He turned to Muscle Daddy, "Get ready to fight!" ”

The Moors looked at the monsters and smiled contemptuously. "It won't be a bigger trouble than eating and drinking, Dad, I'll kill this little monster one by one. ”

Raina looked at the Murs, then at Muhadi, and finally chose to hide behind Muhadi. "Be careful. She reminded the Psychic Warlock.

Three rune hounds spat acid around the telemancer, and Muhati returned the color with a psychic stab. Empty acid splashes down on the wall, making gurgling sounds and bubbles. A bloodhound jawed wide, trying to bite the Psychic Warlock's leg. However, the latter skillfully dodged, and the monster did not even bite the corner of the robe.

The Psychic Warlock skillfully positioned the three hounds so that they were all on the line facing him. Then he concentrated his mind and manifested his psychic blast ability, and an unstoppable outpouring of terrifying spiritual power shook the three monsters.

At the same time, Muscle Daddy slashed into the mouth of one of his prey. The monster clung to the knife, ignoring the blood pouring from its mouth. The Moors had to strangle the monster's neck with their hands, and Kara snapped its bones.

The three monsters that were shocked and unable to move in place were stabbed one by one by the Psychic Warlock, and all of them were eliminated. But Muhadi didn't let up because of this, and a beastly instinct told him that there were more monsters than four.

The three of them approached each other, and Raina spoke first: "Are you here?"

"What is now?" asked Muhadi, curiously.

"You really can't remember your magic?" the girl gave the psychic warlock a disgusted look. "We're not in Atas now!"

"It's not in Athas, what the hell is it?" asked Muscle Daddy.

"Astral Boundary. "We may be in the astral plane." ”

Seeing Muhati shaking his head with the muscular daddy, she sighed and explained slowly. The psychic warlock has a strong comprehension ability and understands it at once, but the Moors are much more sluggish in this regard, and the girl has to repeatedly explain while comparing and explaining from the most basic places.

“...... The astral plane is the space between the planes, and if the worlds are used as a stage, then the astral plane is the curtain of this object. Raina struggled to recall the classical texts she had found in the city of Nibennay. "It is detached from the normal time and space of a qiē, a void between all the planes. ”

The muscular daddy still didn't understand, but Muhati didn't have time to waste it, and asked the girl directly: "What is the difference between the astral plane and Atas?"

"Actually, I don't know very well, after all, I only read the diary of the ** teacher in the library. The girl said uncertainly, "There are too few mages who can travel planes in Artas, and generally only the Witch King knows the spells, and psionic energy is said to be able to move planes, but there are even fewer examples." ”

"Compared to Athas, the Astral Plane may be more dangerous. After all, we are all familiar with the world of Atas, and the astral plane is very unfamiliar. According to the notebook I read, time and space in the astral realm are unstable, and even gravity can change anytime and anywhere. Not to mention that if the notes are not wrong, then there are many terrible monsters here, the unspeakable kind. ”

Muhati nodded and made a decision. "Let's get rid of the monsters in this ruin first, and then find out if there's any way back to Atas. Hopefully the bugs are gone. ”

The three of them had already made up their minds, so they exited the room and walked back the way they came. He didn't go far before he encountered a few rune hounds blocking him. And not only that, more strange-shaped monsters were unleashed. There is a monster that looks like a large bat, but with a mouth that breathes fire. There is even a monster with a human-like upper body and snake-like lower limbs, and it roars and pounces on it with a bone sword in its hand.

The Muers are at the forefront, and the Psychic Warlocks are in charge of providing support. There are thrills along the way, and the monsters encountered are all split into pieces. Some monsters will interrogate them in a language they don't understand before attacking. Muhadi didn't understand it, so he tried to read the mind with psionic energy, only to find that the thinking of these ancient monsters was completely unreasonable, crazy and unbelievable. Their minds seem to be countless fragments, with only the naked and undisguised killing.

Almost every room in the ruins has a secret door, and behind each secret door is an ancient monster wrapped in Time Extraction. The three of them were only halfway gone, and they had already killed more than twenty ancient creatures. The muscular daddy looked a little anxious, he was worried about whether the mercenaries who didn't stay on the upper level were suddenly attacked by these monsters, and whether they could hold on.

Occasionally, Muhathir also encountered a destroyed secret room. It seems that the doors of these chambers have been broken over the years, and the gelatinous extracts inside have all been steamed, and naturally the creatures they encased have also died for a long time, turning into a pile of bones.

After walking for a while, the psychic was surprised to see that the internal structure of the ruins had also changed. Their way back was sealed, but a new path emerged from the secret door that had been opened. Muhadi pondered for a moment and said, "Go from here." ”

"Are you sure?" asked the Moor. "The path looks like it leads to the lair of some big monster. ”

"There's no other way to go anyway," Raina explained for Muhadi. "We have to try!"

The Psychic Warlock nodded, "I sense something waiting for us, let's meet it in the past." ”

This secret passage is so narrow and steep that you have to hold on to the wall. And this wall is not like an ordinary building material, but more like some kind of organic matter, soft and wet to the touch, like meat, and has a certain temperature. If you use force, you can see that the wall will be concave for a small piece, and it will slowly recover after leaving your hand.

Walking in this secret passage is similar to walking in the gut of some kind of big monster. Every time you step out, you sink half a foot deep into the ground, and then some kind of liquid seeps out and floods the instep. The psychic magician tried not to think about what it was, and secretly prayed that it wouldn't be poisonous. The monsters that were released seemed to have some scruples about this passage, and they didn't dare to directly catch up and attack the three of them, but they followed from a distance, and they could only be felt with psionic energy.

The more this danger lurks and the more uncertain it is, the more excited Mohathir becomes. The psychic warlock had no fear, and his heart was filled with curiosity at this time, how many secrets were still in this ancient ruin? If it could leave Atas, would it mean that it would be able to leave this dying desert world one day?

With these curiosities, Muhadi walked to the end of the secret passage with the Murs and Raina.

It was a room with a glowing green light and many thick tubes. The walls of the tube are clear glass, and inside is a green, gelatinous liquid that looks like a biological embryo. There is a protruding platform in the middle of the room, and a series of stairs lead to the platform. There are a lot of water stains on the ground and on the stairs. In one corner of the room, a glass tube seemed to have been broken, and the liquid inside flowed out. On the platform, there was a short man, all over his body and wet.

Muhadi reacted, standing motionless, trying to see how the other man reacted. Since he didn't move, neither did the Moore and the girl, but just watched the ancient man warily. The muscles of the muscle daddy were tense, and he kept shifting the weight of his whole body between his feet, but he finally didn't do it directly.

Outwardly, the Ancient Halfling appears to be similar to the modern Attas Halfling. The height is about the waist of Muhadi, and the limbs and head are also reduced in equal proportions. The only difference is that the skin of the ancient halfling was delicate and much whiter. Unlike those of the desert now, the skin is rough as leather, and wrinkled.

But looking into his eyes, anyone would admit that he was a completely different creature from a modern halfling. In his eyes were countless years of wisdom, kindness, and a little mercy. When he looked at Muhadi, there was even a little bit of appreciation in his eyes.

He's a psyker!" Muhadi realized this, and became more vigilant, careful not to let hostility leak into his mind. The halfling seemed to be aware of this friendly attitude as well, and he asked in a soft tone as he cast his psionic powers and manipulate several levers on the distant wall. As a result of his movements, the sound of the alarm stopped. Muhadi felt with his heart, and now it seemed that the monsters who were far behind had also stopped attacking.

The ancient halfling seemed to be in a hurry to communicate with the three of them, he first said a few words tentatively, but there was no response now, and then he changed his language, and then another. But no matter what language he used, the three of them didn't know anything, so they could only do it in a hurry.

The halfling looked disappointed, and then he used psionic energy, as if trying to search directly through Muhadi's brain to communicate. Before the Psychic Warlock could react, a terrifying aura suddenly awakened from the bottom of his heart, instantly seizing the dominance of the spirit.

The will of the primordial warlock took control of Muhadi's body in less than a blink of an eye. It was clear that Rajat did not like to have psionic powers snooping into his hiding place. In addition to this, Muhadi also felt that the magician seemed to have some inexplicable emotion towards the halfling, prompting him to fight back with more violent means.

In the eyes of Muscle Daddy and Raina, the halfling was fine one moment, but the next moment he suddenly bled and fell to the ground and convulsed. It was as if some invisible whip had whipped him at once. A slight smell of burnt gas filled the air, it was an overly powerful psionic attack that had directly burned the halfling's brain.

The body of the halfling fell to the ground, curled up in the shape of a shrimp. Although he was brain dead, the major nerves in his spine had not been destroyed, and he was still shaking. Seeing this, the Moors and the girl were startled, not knowing what strange things had happened, and thinking that an unknown enemy had appeared, they looked around vigilantly.

"Don't worry. Muhadi heard the primordial magician speak in his own voice. "He just suddenly came into contact with the air tens of thousands of years later, causing his own disease, and there is no invisible enemy. ”

"I have read the mind of this halfling, and the ruins we are in now were a merchant ship in the age of the halflings, shuttling between Atas and other worlds. But now it's long dead, and we have to find our way back. The primordial warlock perfectly mimicked Muhadi's voice, but the psychic warlock sensed something unusual in his feelings, as if he was very reluctant to stay here for long and was anxious to return to Athas. Muhadi had never been so aware of the Primordial Warlock's feelings before, and perhaps he was able to do so because of his recent rise in strength.

"On the bottom floor of the ship, there's its power core. We need to reactivate it and then we can go back. ”

"How?" asked the Moor, nodding.

"The core of power is a biological tissue, which is made up of flesh and blood, and naturally it must be activated with flesh and blood. When it's full, it starts on its own. ”

"Are we going to feed all those corpses to ...... Feed this power core?" Raina said incredulously.

"Human corpses, useless, and the monsters in the spaceship. Muhadi's voice said, "It takes more powerful creatures to have enough energy, such as those of the outer planes." ”
