Chapter Ninety-Six: The Earthquake

For a moment, everyone looked at the peak of the snow-capped mountain with solemn faces, and another lightning bolt tore the sky at the peak, the wind reshaped the outline of the peak, and the earth trembled violently as if a giant beast was about to break out of its shell.

Guan Xinyue's feet were unstable, her body was crooked, Liu Ziyu subconsciously reached out to pull her, and both of them fell to the ground. "Hey, what the hell is going on?" Luo Qi looked at the capping of thunder and lightning, and finally regained his language ability, "Who is so lacking in virtue and is actually hit by five thunders from the sky." ”

The wind swept in the blizzard, and Roach was poured on his face, "It's snowing so hard in the spring. ”

Du Zhengyi looked up at the sky, through the confused blizzard, the blue sky above his head was faintly recognizable. "It's not snow, it's the icebergs and snow that have broken up."

"There won't be an avalanche, will it?"

"There isn't enough snow here, so there shouldn't be avalanches." Du Zhengyi said.

Everyone gathered around them, Mahjong looked at Snow Peak in awe, Usu was cautiously silent, and the battle mages were ready to fight.

Yan Hao asked anxiously, "What happened on the mountain?" Shouldn't we go over and see it now? ”

Wen Lin didn't know when she appeared on the other side of Du Zhengyi, and suddenly said to him, "You have the most experience, have you ever seen this situation?" ”

Du Zhengyi shook his head, the current situation does not explain anything, even if you want to explain it as a natural phenomenon, it is not necessarily wrong, earthquakes are often accompanied by abnormal weather conditions, and the situation at this time makes sense even if it is explained as an earthquake. In this explosion of nature, he did not perceive any trace of magic. Not only Du Zhengyi, but Liu Ziyu also hurriedly recovered her magic experiments, and she also did not collect any useful information.

Luo Qi thought for a moment, and said to Wen Lin, "Anyway, there is no need for you and Shi Qian to continue to move forward, if you want to retreat now, you can do it, and by the way, you can also take Zhou Ruisi with you." You first go back to the plains and find a place to rest, and if there is a need for me and Du Zheng to testify to the Supreme Committee, just say hello. ”

Zhou Ruisi was standing behind him, and when he heard this, he looked at Wen Lin longingly, eager for this beauty to say an auspicious word.

Wen Lin laughed, as if she had heard something really funny, "What is this?" Shi Qian and I are battle mages ourselves, so there is no reason why we don't help now. We're leaving you behind now, and it's like escaping. ”

As she spoke, her hands casually crossed on her waist, her seemingly soft waist was very strong, her whole body was slender and energetic, the look on her face was fearless, and her eyes flashed with the light of being deeply attracted by danger. Luo Qi asked, and he felt that Wen Lin was like a big salmon that had bitten the bait.

The others had no opinion, and Zhou Ruisi was completely disappointed, he watched the storm rising from the mountain peak, and the side that was deeply influenced by human culture prevailed in his field of knowledge, and muttered several times, "This is too unlucky".

Luo Qi thought that his radiation panic had been disturbing him, and casually scolded him angrily, "What is auspicious and unlucky, are you a village coercion so superstitious?" ”

"No...... How can it be called superstition? No, superstition is not necessarily all human ignorance. No, no, little human sister, I don't mean to be racist. I mean, something that seems superstitious isn't necessarily superstitious. Zhou Ruisi chattered nervously.

"Shut up." Roach said in annoyance, "Believe it or not, I'm going to make you pass out right now." ”

"Don't you know that some of the peaks in the highlands are cursed? The curse of the ancient mages is a real curse, and I have heard that some mages will really die on the snowy mountains for no apparent reason. Zhou Ruisi said.

Luo Qi didn't continue to scold him, turned his head and glanced at Du Zhengyi, and they all thought of the previous leader of the Lotus Burner. Roach was certain that he didn't die here, and that this wasn't the territory of the Highland Mage, but the Lotus Burner was definitely nearby right now.

"Is it possible that the Lotus Burner opened the seal?" Roach remembered that burning night, the coquettish man with the umbrella, and the bitter clownfish. The Lotus Burner must be here, but I don't know how high the specifications will be.

Du Zhengyi shook his head, and Luo Qi knew that he was not sure.

Yan Hao, who couldn't wait, couldn't help but interject and shouted, "Then let's hurry up and take a look!" Maybe you can find something, but it's not far away, but you need to climb a mountain. ”

"No way!" Luo Qi was pondering, and was driven by the excited Yan Hao, and he also shouted fiercely.

He looked up and saw that everyone was looking at him, waiting in amazement for him to post his reason. He thought for a moment, and shouted in front of the background of the landslide, "I just finished breakfast, now let me run over, I don't know if I'll get appendicitis." ”

Not only did his face have a look of extreme consternation, except for his original fox friends who were not surprised. Mahjong even chimed in, "Health issues are really important. Although mages do not have an appendix, the rule that strenuous exercise after meals is appropriate for all species. ”

Du Zhengyi didn't speak, and the others were not strong enough to shake Luo Qi, although they all felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't figure out what these people meant, and it was not easy to say anything. Xiang Qian is different from others, her qualifications are here, and she is more responsible than others after all.

She glanced at Luo Qi and said slowly, "If it is really the Lotus Burner who is trying to open the seal, we have the responsibility and obligation to stop it, and we will do it early and late, and it will be easier to do it early." So, Roach, your judgment should have some reasonable theoretical basis, not just say it at will, right? ”

Of course, Luo Qi has a reason, he is a fool to give the door key Du Zhengyi quickly sent up, and the one who was being struck by lightning may be guilty on the top of the mountain because he has no key, is it possible that they rush up to be a little angel? However, he was also stabilized by such a question, and eliminated the emotional interference of a few people who were standing too close to him, and slowly replied, "Grandma, look at the above, who is still rushing to be struck by lightning?" ”

Xiang Qianliu showed a look that he couldn't agree with Luo Qi, and he couldn't impress a stern old woman by messing around, but Luo Qi was a little absent-minded now.

"We've got to go up and have a look." Xiang Qian insisted, unwilling to pay attention to a child like Luo Qi.

Luo Qi just shook his head, not wanting to dwell on the question of whether he could get up or not, he turned to Du Zhengyi and said, "If the seal above is activating defensive measures, why don't you all feel the energy of magic?" ”

"Son, you can guess two hundred years while sitting here, go up and see it and you'll know right away." Xiang Qian said, raising his eyes to look at the other battle mages, "I'm going to take two people up to have a look, there are too many non-combatants now, it's best to go up to the top soldiers to explore the way first." ”

Roach took a step back, "I don't understand, why they put a cannon to lure us up, and we really go up, how can there be this?" ”

Xiang Qian ignored him and directly named the names of the two mages. Luo Qi glared at her angrily, there are two kinds of people that Luo Qi has no way to deal with, one is the battle mage, and the other is the person who doesn't talk to him, Xiang Qian took an intersection between these two collections.

Du Zhengyi also did not support him on this issue, "You three should be careful when you go up, you can use local communication magic to transmit information." ”

But since the person who was going up was not Du Zhengyi, Luo Qi had nothing to fight for, he silently watched the three mages move forward quickly in the direction of the storm. They were agile and had borrowed some auxiliary magic that Roach couldn't figure out, and according to Roach's eyes, their speed was around forty kilometers per hour, and if the terrain didn't affect their speed too much, they might be able to get close to the peak within ninety minutes, and if the terrain had an effect on the auxiliary magic, it would be hard to say.

In any case, the dispersion of personnel is not what Roach wants to see. The more weakened the combat effectiveness, the more likely it is that Du Zhengyi will have to make a move. It is impossible for the seal to be without protection, and he wishes that the Lotus Burner could give them a thunderstorm, and he will never touch the mold head himself.

The ground shook violently again, and Guan Xinyue fell a second heel next to him, distracting Luo Qi, who reached out to grab Guan Xinyue. Liu Ziyu, who was sitting on the ground using the crystal, saw this and said, "Xinyue, you should just sit on the ground like me, this is the wisest choice, I see if the earthquake will end for a while and a half." ”

Earthquake? Roach glanced at the trees not far away, the branches shaking violently, not because of the intermittent winds. The measures of the seal cannot include an earthquake, and who would design a protective measure for their own seal that could shatter themselves? Did they really catch up with the earthquakes in nature, and there are indeed many earthquakes in the mountains.

Or was it the mage who created the earthquake? He had always thought that the seal was covered in powerful magic, so it was difficult to find. But what if the designer used not only magic, but also nature, if this was a very important seal, so important that it also relied on natural peaks and rivers as a layer of protection?

"Brother, can a mage create an earthquake?" Rocky asked.

Du Zheng thought for a while before shaking his head and said, "There should be no such exaggerated magic." ”

Zhou Ruisi let out a disapproving "huh" behind Luo Qi.

Luo Qi turned his head and sprayed him, "Big brother, if you know, just say it, what's the strange noise?" ”

"No, no." Zhou Ruisi glanced at Du Zhengyi cautiously, it was not that he was suddenly bold, but the scene of the landslide was too scary, and he forgot that Du Zhengyi was also dangerous. It's just that the more nervous he is, the more he can't help chattering, as long as his mouth is moving, his nervousness can be vented a lot. "In principle, an earthquake is a manifestation, and the cause of internal forces can be plate movements, volcanic eruptions, or rock collapses, in short, a release of energy. Two thousand four hundred years ago, there was a mage who had a notebook devoted to several angles in which magic caused earthquakes. But he thinks he can find a way to destroy the world......"

Luo Qi glared at him, his voice became low and fast, "Of course, of course, he was later considered a high anti-mage, he must be a high anti-mage, or he was idle, and his notes were in the forbidden book area of Qionglin...... I didn't mean to read it, I was looking for information, I wanted to find ......"

"The current magic power can't reach the destruction of the world, and he can move this book out of the forbidden book area." Liu Ziyu said suddenly, interrupting Zhou Ruisi's chatter. She looked up confused, "You reminded me, you're so smart. ”

Luo Qi saw a look of surprise on Zhou Ruisi's face, and looked at Liu Ziyu excitedly.

Liu Ziyu carried out a new round of information extraction, "Where do I remember? It is of course impossible to destroy the earth, but as long as the operation is clever, it is theoretically possible to cause a small earthquake, and as long as the location of the energy storage is found, the energy can be released underground. The lightning and thunder we see are all accompanying phenomena, and in fact someone may have tried to ......"

She looked up at the snow-swept peak, "to break the shell of the glacier." ”
