In fact, Ian and Tres did not arrive in the Blue City without incident.

Along the way, they encounter a number of apparitions, as well as several beasts similar to the sharp-clawed tiger that Ian killed in Ryan's territory.

But the fungus that inhabits these beasts has an anomaly, and I don't know if it's a good or bad evolution.

They greatly increased the strength and regeneration power of the beasts in a short period of time, but they damaged the fighting intelligence of these beasts, and they changed from ambushes and various techniques to muscular monsters that can only punch and rush.

Although it is said that the power is big and the bricks are flying, and increasing the output is not a bad thing in any case, but there are some beasts and monsters, no matter how strong you are, they will be like that, and they will not have the wisdom to attack, and in the end they can only become research materials for Ian and others.

Boom Boom –

Artillery fire could be heard in the distance.

In the vicinity of another city, 'Lampfish City', a multi-party offensive and defensive battle has begun.

With the development of the situation, not only the Patrol Knight and other imperial forces intervened in the Avak region, according to the information received by Tress later, the Flying Flame Land side sent an elite unit 'Royal Guards' to enter because of the silence of the special operations headquarters on the western side, and Grand Duke Thorin even sent his own knights.

In addition, there are also private forces similar to the Worship Dragon Cult and a certain city lord of the Seven Cities Alliance who have infiltrated the area, each with its own purpose, and the Viscount of Avak, which has completely died and has no ordinary people to survive, has become their battlefield.

Not to mention the various powerful magical beasts and phantoms that were already here.

Ian looked out the window into the distance, and in the light of the explosion, he vaguely saw three figures in mid-air, pouring fire on a giant turtle like a small mountain, inspiring a huge roar that was not inferior to that of artillery.

And this was followed by more and more artillery fire.

The tortoise was the mountain-carrying giant tortoise of the third energy level, and the continuous alchemy cannon fire fell on its body, and even the illusory heart light body on the surface of its body did not ripple.

The giant tortoise, feeling a little bored, just raised its head and opened its mouth, and let out a huge roar - in an instant, the visible straight line shock wave with layers of smoke and dust waves swept everything in front of the giant tortoise to pieces, and a cylindrical ditch appeared on the earth, cutting a distance of thousands of meters.

The earth and dust debris fell like raindrops, and a stone rain fell.

The sublimators who had attacked it before retreated the moment it opened its mouth, but the alchemy artillery position behind them was not so lucky, and was directly swept away by the cannons, turning into a huge crater with a diameter of more than four hundred meters.

This kind of attack, if it is used to attack a city, such as Azure City, a small city with only a hundred thousand people, will be partially wiped out in an instant.

This is the third energy level...... In the Lost Age, it is called the power of the 'Hero' and 'Cornerstone' order.

The battle continued, and the ground shook as the explosions and roars.

"It's really hard for the other squads......"

Ian sighed, compared to the others, he could guess that the reason why the Knights of the Patrol sent a few teams to attract the attention of the mountain giant tortoise was precisely because they were going to the Azure City.

Although Mikael can't come here on the surface, he can still remotely direct some of the patrol knights.

"yes, we have to be careful, too."

Tress didn't have as many thoughts as Ian, after knowing that His Royal Highness Mikael was in his own team, he had completely given up thinking, and he was a pure tool, what Ian said he did: "There is a patrol knight squad missing in Azure City, there must be some secret here." ”

There must be a secret, Ian nodded slightly, and the second prince said that there were local living sublimators in Azure City who were still in action, and the missing patrol knight team was probably attacked by these 'locals'.

Don't look at the configuration of the patrol knight squad is very powerful, but there may even be a fourth energy level in this incident, no matter how elite troops face such a crisis, there is a possibility of loss.

The tracked transporter slowly drove into the city.

"The missing team's final signal return point is northwest of the city, so we won't approach it for the time being to gather some information."

Ian looked at the map of the city and directed the team's actions: "Follow this road, turn right after two streets, and then stop, there is the square area, the drone shows that it is very empty, and we are there to make preparations. ”

"I feel that the psionic energy here fluctuates very ...... Intense! ”

And Hua Di and Mo Feng both showed some uncomfortable expressions: "What's the matter, the depth of the Void Realm Overlap in this place is already 12%......"

Mo Feng, who had studied more deeply about this face, shook her head, and she looked around with some confusion: "As long as it exceeds 5%, it is a danger line, and if it exceeds 10%, there will be phantoms spontaneously...... Moreover, I actually smell the smell of 'compatriots' from this city? ”

"Are there elves in this city?"

Frostbutterfly frowned slightly, her wings no longer spinning, and sat on Ian's shoulder with a little wilting: "Feeling...... Kind of dizzy ......"

Fairies are creatures that are very sensitive to the changes of the virtual realm, which is equivalent to a big solar day when the temperature suddenly rises by more than ten degrees, although it does not affect activities, but there is no portable air conditioning here.

"Rest well."

Ian touched the frost butterfly's head to soothe the goblin.

But his attention quickly shifted to the street outside.

The members of Tress's team are very capable, after all, they are apprentices and servants of the patrol knights who can perform various tasks, they are well-informed, and they have encountered more monsters and enemies, and the task of the Viscount of Avak is certainly dangerous, but it is not enough to make them afraid.

But even so, after entering the Azure City, these well-informed elite sublimators still felt a little numb.

"Report No. 5, a dark shadow flashed in the window of the building to the left of car No. 1 just now."

"Number 12 reports auditory hallucinations. I heard the breathing of a beast, ringing in my ears. ”

"Number 6 reported that I was also experiencing auditory hallucinations, and I heard a woman's whisper and a child's cry. There is still hysterical laughter, and the specific content of the words cannot be heard clearly, but it will arouse the fear of ordinary people. ”

These auditory hallucinations do not make the sublimator feel uncomfortable, after all, there are many demonic beasts that can create illusions, and even real ghosts and ghosts have hacked a dozen to death.

As we all know, as long as there are rockets and knives that can cut ghosts in their hands, no one will be afraid of zombies and ghosts, and this group of patrol knights even has more than one alchemy artillery, how can they be afraid of these boring atmosphere groups?

What really made them feel numb was the fog that filled the streets.

"Report No. 19, Captain, these fogs have been sampled, and after identification, it has been confirmed that this is the 'Fog of Madness', a special malicious vision that can only appear in the Void, similar to the Wonder of the Void Codenamed 'Lake God', which will make people gradually fall into madness and apply to take the 'Resistance Potion'."

Tress received the report, and he nodded, "All of them take the resistance potion." Take until you arrive at your destination. ”

The Immunity Elixir is not a spiritual protective agent, it is essentially an agent that isolates the influence of external spiritual energy on the user, and uses its own medicinal essence to resist all external essences, and is known for its comprehensiveness rather than specialization.

It is suitable for this kind of area where the virtual realm and reality overlap.

There were corpses strewn on both sides of the street. Some of the corpses were in pain and covered in wounds, while others were lying straight on the ground as if they were out of their bodies.

And some people are just crazy, their mouths are full of flesh and blood, and their bodies are also covered with a thick layer of fungi, apparently eroded by the corrupting fungi of the Flying Flame Land, and they are caught in a selfless and violent desire to attack.

But without exception, they all died. The food in the hands of the shopkeeper and the customers at the entrance of the store that used to sell vegetables, fruits, and grains fell into their own pools of dried blood, and the woman who was run over by a carriage at the corner of the street looked miserable, but she clutched a hand that seemed to have been torn off the body of the passenger in the car.

The carriage was empty, and the whole city was more of a giant slaughterhouse than a dead land.

The Avak Territory is finished.

"This is the crisis...... Even the Huaiguang Church will not come forward, and even a small crisis that is not in the 'Book of Prophecy' will cause hundreds of thousands of people, or even nearly a million, to ...... quietly Just die senselessly. ”

Whispering to himself, it was only now that Ian finally understood what was 'conflict' between major forces and what 'attrition' was.

The cold numbers on those reports gradually turned into these equally cold corpses in front of him.

But the young man's expression did not change much, he still scanned the city calmly, and the silver and cyan halo in his eyes flickered.

- Anger and sadness cannot change anything.

As a scholar, what he needs to do is to be calm and find the crux of the problem.

Ian is trying to find what Mikael calls the so-called 'Living Sublimator', who is directly related to the tragic situation behind this city...... At least that's where the indirectly associated ones are.

Only by finding them can Mikael's mission be completed and have them answer Ian's questions.

But, suddenly.

The tracked transporter stalled with a low humming sound.
