199. Void Erosion
The black chaotic substance on All for one's body gradually spread throughout his body, and the scope of the spread became more and more extensive.
"Olmet, get out of there!"
Li Xiang, who sensed the problem, shouted, but Olmet, who had already used all his strength, no longer had the strength to dodge.
At the last moment, the air flow on the soles of Grantrino's feet gushed, and it swept near Ormet at a speed like lightning, pushing Ormet away and bringing it to a safer position more than ten meters away.
Oda the reporter at the scene hurriedly asked the photographer to point the camera at this unknown substance, and he had a hunch that maybe they could dig up a big news this time.
"Mr. Yamamoto, can you use a video camera to get a picture of the inside of that unknown object?"
"No, I've turned my field of vision to the farthest away, and I still can't see clearly."
"In that case......
The journalist's unafraid spirit of death haunted reporter Oda's heart, and he found a stone from the ground and threw it at the unknown substance on All for one's body.
The result was a stone sinking into the sea, which was literally "sinking into the sea", and the "stone", to be precise, was shattered by the aftermath of the battle between All for One and Olmet, and after being thrown out by Oda and coming into contact with the black unknown substance, it disappeared as if it had been swallowed up without a sound.
The stone that was thrown out seemed to have lit a fuse, and the black chaotic matter began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and began to twist and deform, as if it was eating away at the world as nourishment to strengthen itself.
"Oops, looks like we're late."
Hearing a voice he had never heard before, Li Xiang turned his head and saw a combination of two men and one woman.
The man with the head is tall and strong, with a short vest and black pants, the muscles on the body are angular, the typical Chinese character face is upright, and the face should be about thirty years old, and the peaceful and neutral eyebrows and eyes give people a sense of righteousness. The stout right arm holds a huge war hammer.
The other man standing behind the strong man half a step behind him was lean, wearing a long trench coat and a scruffy beard, and the slight dark circles under his eyes made him look a little listless. Like the strong man just now, he carried a weapon, and he had a long knife pinned to his waist, which looked a little like a Japanese sword.
Standing at the end of the three was a woman who looked to be in her early twenties, bowing her head and remaining silent. A white shirt with a pair of white-washed jeans, as well as long black straight black hair and a face that is not much retouched, and a collar sewn from white fabric around the neck, embroidered with a few plum blossoms on the collar, is not particularly conspicuous on the woman's snow-white neck, and the whole person gives the impression of being very delicate and clean.
"What do you mean you're late?"
His intuition told Li Xiang that these people might know something, so he immediately asked them.
The lean man and the silent woman didn't pay attention to Li Xiang's question, only the strong man replied:
"That's the erosion of the Void, it's caused by the cracks in the walls of this world, the power of the Void seeping into the cracks, and the cracks are easy to create from some psychologically distorted characters. And the erosion of the void will slowly eat away at the assimilation of this world until the whole world returns to chaos......"
"Hey! Xu Zhengping, why are you talking so much to the aborigines of the world? Hurry up, it's too late! ”
The strong man patted his head as if he had finally remembered something:
"It's really useless to forget about it every time and communicate with the indigenous people of the world...... I'll be right away! ”
The strong man followed the other two with his hammer, while Li Xiang froze in place.
What does this person mean by what he says? Void?
Is the void he spoke of the same thing as the void that Irel was talking about? And what does it mean to be aboriginal? Is he referring to me? If I'm an Aboriginal, who are the three of them?
A series of questions lingered in Li Xiang's heart.
"Hello? Red Moon, can you hear me? What is the scale of erosion now? ”
The strong man Xu Zhengping raised his right hand and pressed it near his right ear to communicate with someone who was not around.
Hundreds of meters away, on the roof of a tall building, a young woman in slightly scantily clad clothes was lying on the ground, with a long sniper rifle in front of her, and the woman looked through the scope of the sniper rifle at All for one, that is, the direction of the black unidentified substance spilling out.
The woman also raised her hand to her ear and replied in the air:
"You can hear it, the speed of this erosion is very fast, and now that it has reached level 2, we have to move a little faster. Judging from the current scale, I'm afraid it won't be much time before the fourth level, and we can barely handle the third level, and when we reach the fourth level, we are really helpless. ”
"It's already level two? So fast? ”
Xu Zhengping's words were heard by the other two people, and the thin man's surprise was overflowing:
"Although the time point of our teleportation is a little late, but it is a minute late at most, under normal circumstances, the erosion development should only be level 1 for one minute, right, why is there a second level?"
"The reason is not clear, but the time is pressing, and if it drags on any longer, I am afraid that it will be to the third level, so we will hurry up and fill the gap!"
The three of them ran, straight to the source of the erosion.
Aiming at the tall building, Red Moon was the first to act, she pulled a bullet from the ammunition box on her waist, pressed it into the magazine, and pulled the trigger after aiming at the source of the erosion.
The sniper rifle shuddered suddenly, and the conical spark at the muzzle flickered, and the bullet flew out of the muzzle at a speed of more than the speed of sound and flew straight towards the source of the erosion.
At the moment when the bullet was about to hit the source of the erosion, a tentacle of similar material to the unknown material that had escaped from the black hole stretched out from it, and although it was blown into two sections by the bullet, it successfully blocked the path of the bullet.
The appearance of the tentacles, the red moon could see clearly behind the scope, after seeing the appearance of the tentacles, the red moon's face changed again and again, and with a solemn face, she immediately sent a communication to her teammates:
"Old Xu, the tentacles of the Void Beast appeared, and it blocked my purification bomb. That crack has expanded enough for the Void Beast's body to pass through, and it's not normal to let the Void Beast pass through it, even though the scale is only level two here! I've sent a message to the guild, it's not something we can handle anymore, you three hurry back! ”
This time, the message sent by the Red Moon was through the squad channel, and the other three people received the message at the same time.
The three stopped and looked at each other.
"What should I do, Lao Xu? Things are strange, we give up the task and go straight away? ”
The lean man looked at Xu Zhengping, and the silent girl also looked at Xu Zhengping quietly.
They are the "rescue team" belonging to the gods of all worlds, specially coming to this derivative world to close the void rift, and are mainly responsible for repairing and dealing with the void rift below the level of erosion level 3.
Although there is no affiliation between the four-member team, Xu Zhengping, the oldest player, is the de facto captain, and the problems that the team usually encounters are basically decided by him in the end. Xu Zhengping, who has a righteous face, is indeed very fair, and the decisions he makes are also very considerate of his teammates, so he has been widely recognized by the team members.
Right now, there was obviously some unknown change in the void rift that their team had rushed to deal with.
The Void Rift cannot be perceived until it is completely cracked, and the location of the Void Rift can only be detected when at least a small crack has been torn through the space, and a team like them will arrive soon after the Void Rift is formed, and use a special sealing device to complete the seal. Normally, when they arrived, the Void Rift was barely a little bit in size, and the erosion rate was slow. Moreover, such a small rift is not enough for a large chaos like the Void Beast to enter, at most there will only be some mayfly-level things, which they can easily dispose of.
And this time, not only was the erosion extremely fast, but the Void Beast appeared when the erosion level was only level two, even though it was only a tentacle, which was beyond their reach.
Xu Zhengping said in a low voice:
"As far as I know, there aren't many teams in the entire guild that can handle the Void Beast level, and this task is something we have undertaken, and those teams may not be able to catch up. That is to say......"
"The world could eventually fall apart, right?"
The lean man took a cigarette out of the pocket of his trench coat and shoved it into his mouth and took a sharp puff.
When the gods of the worlds first summoned them, they had told them that the power of the void would infect order and transform everything into chaos. The derivative world is composed of the cornerstone of the derivative world, that is, people's beliefs, and if the derivative world is completely eroded and collapsed by the void, it will bring serious consequences.
The polluted derivative world will contaminate the humans who provide the faith to the world, if these people are sensitive or have a strong connection to the derivative world, especially the source of the world, the author of the story. It may even lead to mental disorders.
"Several."
The three of them turned to look in the direction where the voice came from, and after seeing that it was Li Xiang who stepped forward to speak, the thin man turned his head directly, and Xu Zhengping asked:
"Little girl, is there anything wrong with you?"
Li Xiang hesitated for a few seconds and asked:
"How many of them are the gods of the worlds?"
Xu Zhengping and the lean man's eyes suddenly increased, especially the lean man, he even dropped the cigarette in his hand:
"You...... How do you know the gods of the worlds? Aren't you the natives of this world? ”
Seeing the reactions of the two people in front of him, Li wondered if he had guessed correctly.
Judging from the actions of the few people just now, these people obviously came for this so-called void rift, and the scene of the Void Beast's tentacles blocking bullets just now, Li Xiang also saw it, because that tentacle was very similar to the Void Beasts he saw before he came to this world with Iriel, so Li Xiang guessed that the "Void" in the other party's mouth was the same concept as the "Void" he heard from Iriel.
Although Iriel can't be contacted now, judging from the information in what Iriel once said, the gods of the worlds are a force hostile to the void, and Li Xiang doesn't think that there will be so many enemies on the side of the void, so these people are likely to be people from the side of the gods of the worlds.
And upon inquiry, these people were indeed from the side of the gods of the worlds.
After confirming this, Li Xiang continued:
"Actually, I'm not a native of this world, if I have to say it, I'm here through time."
Xu Zhengping patted his head:
"Crossing? It's like the kind that travels to ancient times like Xun Qin? ”
"Looking for Qin?"
This sudden appearance of the term made Li Xiang a little confused.
"You don't mind, he's a bit old and has only recently been exposed to the internet and the internet, you go on talking about yours."
The lean man pushed Xu Zhengping and motioned for Li Xiang to continue.
"Well, I'm here in time and have been in this world for a long time. Are you here to deal with that thing? ”
Li Xiang pointed to the black unknown substance that was still distorting.
"Yes, but now we're in for some surprises."
Xu Zhengping briefly explained the situation to Li Xiang, and after listening, the corners of Li Xiang's mouth drooped.
"In other words, you can only find a way to retreat now, right?"
Xu Zhengping said apologetically:
"I'm afraid that's all we can do, and there's nothing we can do...... Wait, this world is almost ruined, little girl, what are you going to do? ”
The lean man also thought of this, and said with some embarrassment:
"We can return on our own, but we don't have a way to bring people back......"
Li Xiang frowned, and turned his head to look at the growing black chaos.
The void rift expanded at such a rapid rate that thick tentacles poked out of it, aimlessly gliding over the nearby ground, buildings, and trees, and the objects disappeared as if they had been disassembled and digested.
Although it has not yet "evolved into a complete body", the deterrent power of the destruction of the world has already begun to take shape.
Li Xiang was silent.
was silent for a long time, just when Xu Zhengping thought that the little girl in front of him was sad because he was likely to be destroyed with this world, and didn't know how to comfort him, Li Xiang raised his head, his eyes were full of clear eyes:
"Mr. Xu, I should be able to call you that, isn't it possible for you to seal that rift as long as you dispose of that void beast?"
"I'm afraid that crack is now level four, even if it's ......"
Before the thin man finished speaking, he was stopped by Xu Zhengping.
"You're right, as long as those Void Beasts don't get in the way, we can seal that Void Rift."
"Hey! Lao Xu! ”
"Old wolf, don't worry, I'm measured."
Xu Zhengping asked:
"How? Did you think of a solution? ”
Li Xiang nodded:
"Well, yes, although I don't know if my method will work, but I think it's worth a try, and I ask a few people to wait here for a while, don't leave, if my method doesn't work in the end, and there is no way to solve those Void Beasts, then you don't have to worry about me, just go." You should not be buried with this world. ”
Li Xiang threw away the Holy Flag in his hand, which was no longer useful, and turned around and walked in the direction of All for one just now.
Before he could take two steps, Li Xiang suddenly felt that he was being hugged by a pair of hands.
When he turned around, Li Xiang saw that it was the silent woman who had not spoken all this time among the three.
"Don't mind, Jin Se can't speak, she can only express herself with actions, she should care about you"
Li Xiang looked at the woman called Jinse, she smiled at Li Xiang, and then let go of her hand.
Maybe a smile is the most beautiful expression of human beings, seeing Jin Se's smile, the tension in Li Xiang's heart dissipated a lot, he waved his hand at the other party, and continued to walk forward slowly.
