Chapter 178: Cultivation
On the second day, today is a big day for everyone, because today, the tournament will officially begin.
But Feng Heng didn't show up, and even he arranged Elder Wu to practice in another room, and locked the door alone, everyone didn't know what he was doing, but they didn't bother to ask.
In fact, what Feng Heng does is very simple, that is, sleep!
Because Kane is now in a very critical period and things have changed a bit, Master Gray originally thought that Kane had at least a few months to prepare, but now it seems that there is not that much time.
Everything was because it was going too well, and Master Gray's recent performance was too calm and submissive, which made the Night Clan a little uneasy, and Captain Nanochi paid close attention to their every move almost all the time, and even Kane admired the vigilance of these Night Clan!
So the plan had to be pushed forward, and Master Gray had to take some extraordinary measures, he arranged a huge magic circle for Kane, and the concentration of elemental power inside was a hundred times that of the outside!
Kane didn't know how he got it, and he didn't have the energy to think about it, because he was in tearing pain all the time.
There are one hundred and eight bright points of light on the whole body, and the entire body is surrounded by layers of mysterious magic circle aura, which makes him look magnificent, but whether it is Kane in the magic circle or Master Gray outside the magic circle, no one can predict the consequences of such an intense absorption, if Kane can persevere, he will naturally be able to improve by leaps and bounds in a short time, but if he can't persevere, then there is only one result - death!
Kane is now extremely proficient in the process of assimilating magic power, and even his body has developed inertia, even when he is asleep, his body will still complete this process spontaneously, but he obviously can't sleep now, a hundred times the elemental power, even Kane himself can't describe what it feels like when they enter the body, only feel that the surrounding air has gradually begun to condense elemental particles!
The formation is really a powerful force, and Kane secretly made up his mind that he must study this subject well in the future.
He practiced quietly in the magic circle for ten days day and night, during which he did not enter a drop of water, but his energy was so strong that his whole body was about to explode, and Master Gray's face outside the formation gradually improved, his previous intention was just to let Kane go in and try it, and absorb as much as he could, but he didn't expect that he would be ten days as soon as he entered.
At a hundredfold concentration, ten days is equivalent to a hundredfold of the outside world, that is to say, Kane's current level of mana accumulation will take about three years to reach in the outside world!
But in this way, the pace of approaching danger was almost a hundred times faster, because Master Gray's formation was too domineering, it almost gathered all the elemental power of the entire dark world here, and the energy in the space was very chaotic, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
But time is extremely precious to Kane now, so Master Gray has to find various excuses to explain this incident, saying that this incident is a core engineering component of the Night Clan's Great Array, and this component is very important, its function is to absorb the power of the elements for the use of the Great Array.
Nochi didn't dare to turn his back on him easily due to his recent performance, and he couldn't find the slightest reason to refute his claim, after all, he knew nothing about engineering.
However, with the passage of time, Captain Nochi's patience has obviously bottomed out, and finally on the eleventh day, he led a group of Night Clan to break into Master Gray's so-called secret laboratory, and what he saw in front of him made everyone stunned!
I saw that in this large laboratory, the flow of energy has almost taken on a substantial state that can be seen by the naked eye, making people seem to enter a huge whirlpool at once, and when they get closer, they can see a huge rune shining with dazzling brilliance, and a one-person tall 'egg' floating in the center of them, or an oval object like an egg, all the surrounding energy is pulled to this egg.
On the other side, Master Gray was concentrating on something with a strange blindpatch on his head, and next to him stood a dull-looking Kane, holding a plate with several strange-shaped stones in it.
Master Gray seemed to notice the crowd coming in, and without looking back, he drank, "Get out of my lab!"
Nochi was originally angry, but he didn't know what to say when he saw such a scene, at least on the surface, it seemed that Master Gray was really working on some engineering parts.
"Let's go..."Nochi glanced at the circle a few more times, and could only follow Master Gray's orders, after all, if something went wrong and affected the Night Clan's plans, it was not something that a small group leader could afford to bear.
The group slowly retreated, and Kane put down the tray in his hand, "They're gone." ”
However, Master Gray remained the same as before, and stopped speaking after a sigh.
Kane thought to himself that he couldn't be addicted to acting, and was about to say something when he heard Master Gray's voice come from him, "You go and rest first, I'll finish this thing." ”
"Huh?" Kane was a little puzzled, the two of them were just acting, Master Gray had just thrown a few strange stones into the formation to hide his eyes, could he really be doing something.
Master Gray didn't mean to explain anything, "Go ahead, time is running out right now, and I have to finish it by the day after tomorrow." ”
"What is this?" Kane hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but ask.
"A small thing, maybe it can bring you some help, and you, you must get out of here before the day after tomorrow!"
"The day after tomorrow, so fast?"
"If you don't leave the day after tomorrow, you may never leave. ”
"Why?"
"Because the day after tomorrow is the full moon, that Lord Borg will come here at this time of the month, he is not Nochi, as long as he sees you, he will immediately know what good things the two of us have been doing recently, do you think he will let you go?"
Kane frowned, "What should I do?"
"Take a break, and when I'm done with this thing, you'll kill Nochi, and then leave. ”
His tone was extremely flat, but Kane knew what these simple words meant, and he was a little worried about the upcoming decisive battle, but more reluctant to give up on this goblin old man, although the two had not been together for a long time, but Kane respected him from the bottom of his heart.
"What about you?"
"That's not something you should worry about, you better focus on the next battle. ”
Kane saw that his hand started to move again, and he couldn't bother him anymore, so he could only retreat obediently.
The nights of the Wind Continent tend to be fresher and colder, but in the Dark Realm, there is still an oppressive drowsiness as always, and to this day Kane still can't figure out what kind of place he is in, whether it is a magic circle, a subspace like the fox clan, or neither.
All this, maybe tomorrow will have the answer, and tonight, he will complete a battle of life and death for his future and mission!
Although there are countless original inhabitants of the Wind Continent living in the entire dark world, the defense is very lax, all because of the potion, at least there has never been such a thing as a rebellion before, which also minimizes the vigilance of the Night Clan, providing great convenience for Kane, he even swaggered in front of the Night Clan, and went straight to the place where the head of Nochi is, a majestic black fortress.
It was almost the center of the entire Dark Realm, but the number was pitiful, and Kane couldn't even see anyone except for the two heavily armored guards standing in front of the fortress.
The living habits and thinking concepts of the Night Clan are obviously different from those of the Wind Continent and even the Haoyang Continent, and the most simple and straightforward feeling for Kane is that each of them is an independent and perfect individual, not a vassal or a supporting role, and you know that he is doing his own thing when you see him, and you will not have the feeling of 'he has nothing to do' like watching some people.
The Night Clan doesn't need to rely on some people or things to achieve their own sense of existence, nor will they use something to set off their position, just like the current Leader Nochi, although he is the ruler of this dark realm, he does not let anyone serve him, even a slave.
This situation has made Kane more or less start to reflect on something, but now is not the time, and he must be distracted to deal with what follows.
"A human?"
"A slave!"
The two guards in front of the door were a little puzzled by Kane's arrival, and it was clear that this was not the place he should be?
Kane walked up to the two of them with a glazed gaze, "I've been ordered to bring my master's work!"
"Leave it to us, and you're good to go. One of the guards said nonchalantly, not thinking Kane was anything special.
"Master Gray has ordered me to hand things over to Captain Nochi in person, and not to anyone else. Kane said dumbfounded.
"It turned out to be Master Gray's slave, your mission has been accomplished, give me something!"
Kane was indifferent, "I have to hand it over to Captain Nochi himself." ”
"What a stubborn man, like Master Gray, let him in. The other guard was visibly impatient, not at all worried that he would do anything bad.
The previous guard hesitated for a moment before snorting, "You go in." ”
Kane ignored the two and walked straight inside.
I don't know what material this fortress is made of, it is all dull black, the whole building has two floors, but there is no room on the lower floor, it is all huge pillars, only in the middle there is a circular hollow stone pillar, there is a small door on it, and a stone slab can be vaguely seen moving up and down in it, Kane guesses that this should be the staircase leading to the second floor.
The slate slowly moved down, and finally stopped at the bottom, Kane was afraid that it would rise again, so he hurriedly stood up, but saw that the slate stopped for about half a minute before it began to slowly move up.
