Chapter 494: Wasteland
These four people are Tajik, Biggins, Ron, and Gates who used to live in the same apartment as Li Yunfei. 【Reading.com】
The four of them were originally not qualified to enter the Steel Soul Half Plane at all, but thanks to Li Yunfei giving them the four Soul Tree leaves before entering the Steel Soul Half Plane, they had the opportunity to enter here.
And after entering the half-plane of the steel soul, the four of them also remembered what Li Yunfei said, and after getting some chance, they immediately found a forest with relatively rich magic elements, and then hid in a tree hole and began to cultivate.
Speaking of which, the four of them can be regarded as having **** luck, and after entering the steel soul half-plane, they actually found a cluster of storm spirit flowers! At the same time, they also found a lot of magic crystals of extremely high purity.
Devouring the Tyrannical Flower and absorbing almost all the energy within the Demon Crystal, their spiritual power skyrocketed in a short period of time.
Originally, they were just ordinary solid rock mages and quicksand mages, but at this time, they all crossed several levels and became black iron mages!
It can be said that their mentality at this time is extremely different from when they first entered the half-plane of the Steel Soul.
The four of them slowly walked out of the hole in the tree with their staffs in hand, looked up at their surroundings, and all felt more comfortable than ever.
Although he had just advanced to the rank of Black Iron Mage, he had not yet fully stabilized his strength, but that feeling was not the same at all.
"Biggins, I dare to say, the four of us are among the fastest advanced magicians in human history, hahaha, it's only been a few days, and I've already reached the spiritual power of the Black Iron Mage, I don't dare to imagine it! This steel soul half-plane is indeed a warrior's paradise, no wonder so many people want to enter here even if they are desperate for their lives. Tajik laughed as he felt the energy in his body.
"Tajik, don't get carried away, even if we become Black Iron Mages, it won't be enough to look at in this steel soul half-plane, it's better to keep a low profile. Biggins said steadily.
"Biggins is right, and one more thing you don't forget, we can have the strength we have now, and it's all because of Baiso...... Given by His Majesty the White Bone King, when you return to the Giant God Continent, you must thank him well. Ron said solemnly.
"This is natural, how could I forget! In the future, I will go wherever His Majesty tells me to go, and there will definitely be no ambiguity!" Tajik nodded seriously and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I really didn't expect that a few of us would take this kind of **** luck, and I still feel like a dream." A few days ago, the heavens and the earth were shaken, and the pillar of light that reached the sky appeared, and I don't know what happened, how can the teleportation circle be opened in advance now?"
"Something must have happened...... Let's go back to the Demon Spirit Emperor City immediately, and naturally we can get the answer. Beakins glanced meaningfully at the South. A few days ago, the pillar of light that shook the heavens and the earth appeared from that direction, but at that time, their meditation had reached a critical moment, so they couldn't leave here to explore. Moreover, Li Yunfei had also told them before that after entering the half-plane of the steel soul, they would find a place to hide, and safety would come first, so they didn't know about the earth-shattering battle after the spirit appeared.
"Boom!" At this moment, a thunderclap came, and the atmosphere began to tremble slightly, and a strong wind blew on the ground, which made people frightened.
Since the First Battle of the Spirit, the various elements in the Steel Soul Half-Plane have been very unstable, and it seems that the passage connected to the Giant God Continent will be completely closed at any time.
"Hurry up, I can't wait to see the shocked faces of those guys at the Academy of Magic. Gates looked at the sky and shrunk his neck, turning his head to urge with a smile on his face.
......
The wind was howling, the sun was blazing, and under the pale sky was an earthy gray wasteland. The wasteland stretched as far as the eye could see, and except for some half-dried grass, there was a sky of sand and dust, which looked extremely desolate.
The place didn't seem to have the slightest life at all, and even the occasional bird in the sky was full of vultures.
It's just that above this desolate field, a group of small black dots are slowly wriggling at this time.
There are hundreds of these small black dots, and they are constantly changing their forms around a circular stone platform, as if they are dancing, and as if they are crying sadly.
If you look closely, you can see that these "little black dots" are all humanoid creatures, but their height is less than half that of humans, and even much shorter than dwarves. At the same time, their skin is green, their limbs are very slender and fragile, their faces are wrinkled, and their eyes have a chaotic and brutal look, and they look like they are completely inferior creatures.
"O God, please give us food, O God, please show us the way, O God, please let us live!" said an old "little green man" standing at the front in a hoarse voice. His expression was sad, and at the same time there was a hint of cunning in his eyes. Unlike the clansmen behind him, who wore only a small straw garment, the old man also wore a linen cloak on his body, which was tattered but extremely noble among the clansmen.
On the stone platform around them, in the center was a huge gear sculpture that was one person high!
The edge of this gear sculpture has been sharpened by the wind and sand to be extremely smooth, and the complete appearance of the gear can hardly be seen. At the same time, the gears and the rocks around the gears were reddish-brown, and there were some scattered bones that fell to the side, which was creepy.
And the group of "little green men" kept praying to the gears as if they were crazy, but it was clear from their vain steps that these people had not eaten for a long time.
"God...... Please give us food...... God...... "They kept crying and pleading, but nothing appeared.
In ancient legends, the sculptures in front of you represented something that could bring warmth and food, as well as great power. Therefore, they have long worshipped this sculpture as a god, but it has never been fulfilled.
"Elder Huba, what the hell did God say, what are we going to eat today?" a "little green man" couldn't bear the hunger, and looked up at the old man.
Hearing this, Elder Nahuba first rolled his eyes for a while, and then suddenly his eyes closed, and he began to dance with his hands, constantly spinning in circles, and he simply turned into a spinning top.
The surrounding clansmen all looked at him with awe and expectation, and at the same time there was some apprehension, not knowing what the outcome would be.
After about five minutes, Huba turned around dozens of times before he shook and stopped, suddenly opened his eyes, pointed to the "little green man" in front of him and said, "Jersey, I have been instructed by God, today we will eat you!"
"Ah...... Miscellaneous...... What the...... No...... Don't eat me!" the little green man named Jersey turned around and tried to run away, but was immediately caught by a crowd of people, everyone's eyes glowing green.
Jersey's face was pressed against the cold stone platform, which was still littered with the bones of the man he had eaten yesterday, and the blood had not yet dried up completely, which made him shudder. He even remembered how greedy he had been when he gnawed on that arm bone yesterday.
"Don't eat me, don't eat me, I want to live!" Jersey shouted, but no one paid any attention.
A smile appeared on Elder Huba's face, and he took out the only rusty iron knife from his tattered linen robes and walked slowly towards him. The rusty blade was about to cut Jersey's neck! He struggled desperately, but he was already held down by a dozen hands, unable to move.
"No, don't kill me!"
"This is God's will, do you want to disobey God's command?" Huba asked with a frown.
"God, give me food, I don't want to die!" exclaimed Jersey. The surrounding clansmen all looked greedy, and even drooled from the corners of their mouths.
At this moment, the stone platform, which had been silent for thousands of years, suddenly began to vibrate, and then a white light was projected from the huge gear sculpture and fell on the stone platform.
In the next moment, two figures, one big and one small, flashed out in the white light!
