"Actually, I still don't understand."
The rising buzz of magic echoed in every inch of the floating island, and the crowd crowded in the hall below the Violet Tower also began to feel a little turbulent and tense, as if to relieve this tense atmosphere.
, the discussion that occurred between Mi Si and Kilg seemed to have nothing to do with what was about to happen: "In such a desolate and lifeless environment, accompanied by strong winds that can bring death, this God's chosen path
Is the road really a test that the previous qualified tribes can pass?”
"In fact, none of the tribes that were able to qualify and pass this road came back to tell us the real situation." Before Kilger, who was frowning, could reply, Shrey, who was sitting next to him, joined in with his lips curled up.
This conversation has nothing to do with the current situation: "Most of the news about the sacred mountains and Shinto that our outside tribes get is from the past central tribes and some of the legends passed down orally within us. The news itself
I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
"Whether they reached the sacred mountain alive or whether they all died on the road, we have no way of knowing now." Forcibly filtering out the howling wind and buzzing magic that kept ringing in his ears, Kilger continued Shrey's words.
He continued: "Just like the tribes that were driven out of the central grassland but finally appeared here, no one knows what happened to them and how they became the chosen people of the sacred mountain."
"That is, what exactly is the test of the sacred mountain? Even though we have been deep into the divine realm for so long, we still haven't figured it out." Ignoring the increasingly violent tremors around us and the piercing alarms that echoed straight down the spiral staircase on the top of the tower.
, Shrey crossed his arms with a cold snort: "But one thing can be confirmed."
"What we are doing now is definitely not what Shenshan expected."
The expected countdown kept passing by in this conversation, and the atmosphere in the tower gradually rose to the extreme with the reverberating whistling sound. Duan Qing, who was sitting in the control room, also took a deep breath.
With a sigh, the other players who were also nervous around him returned to their original positions: "Ten."
"Is there really no problem?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who kept scanning his system time, asked in a low voice involuntarily: "It seems that our activation times do not completely overlap by 'two hours'."
"Because sir, you have to take into account the time for activating the magic circle and the time for the wind pressure to reach here." The voice of Ningyu Ninglan, who was standing beside her, didn't seem so light in the sound of the alarm: "According to the minimum requirement,
A bad plan, the air fluctuations when the time limit comes may be stronger than the previous wave, but no matter how strong the wind is, its speed cannot exceed the limit of teleportation."
"The opportunity we can seize is only this moment."
"——Two, one."
As the words of the code word Ninglan fell, the countdown belonging to Duan Qing finally reached the end. The buzzing and piercing whistling sounds of magic seemed to have gathered into a huge boulder at this moment, weighing heavily on
To everyone present: "Start."
The floating island high in the sky emitted a round of golden light amidst violent tremors. The magic defense shield that originally shrouded it was also coated with a layer of gold with the appearance of this round of golden light. They were surging.
The moving magic engraved lines and complex intertwined patterns kept rotating, and finally gradually extended downward along several specific directions. The strong wind above 10,000 meters seemed to become more frantic as these golden lights fell.
A little bit, the trajectory of the airflow also makes the branch lines extended by the golden light appear more clearly. If someone looks below, they may be able to clearly see that the countless branch lines drawn by the airflow and the golden light turn into entangled tree roots and
The earth is connected together: "——'Golden Tree' was successfully activated."
"The magic supply is normal and the energy extraction rate remains at the highest level."
"All 77 calibrations have entered the overload state, and the estimated collapse time is 12 seconds."
"12 seconds...how long is the time until the end?"
【The silent time has ended.】
Someone seemed to be answering Duan Qing's question, but having heard the system voice, he no longer had to pay attention to the other person's answer. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Xue Ling Huan Bing, who also heard the voice, and then concentrated on
Listen to the verdict from the system.
[Current pressure: 83%]
[Mode conversion failed, return to energy release program.]
[Please prepare all departments to resist the impact, release countdown: 10,9——]
"How much energy we draw from!"
Duan Qing yelled this sentence subconsciously, and the hairs on Duan Qing's body seemed to stand up as he frantically operated the magic screen in front of him: "Can it be activated?"
"It can be activated at any time. After all, the quality of the temporary 'calibration' made by the great magician is still good." Then Fulla's communication voice came in front of him: "However, so much temporary energy cannot be maintained for a long time, and neither can the timing.
It took too long.”
"The map has not been verified, and the distance is not known, so I can only estimate it forcefully." Duan Qing, who relaxed, touched his nose and let out a bitter smile: "But you don't have to worry about this, because the other side will not be waiting for us.
"
"The 'Golden Tree' begins to collapse! Energy transmission is interrupted!" From the corner behind Duan Qing, Gedman's slightly anxious warning sounded: "We -"
Swish.
The changes in space then appeared on the periphery of the floating island. The same scene as the jumping scene during the previous war also flashed in front of everyone. The only difference from the previous battle was that this time
The perception created by the spatial shift does not only affect the visual aspect - it is as if the surrounding air has been pulled out of place in an instant, and the huge suffocating feeling then hits everyone's chest like a giant hammer.
Duan Qing, who felt like he was squeezed under a giant hammer, was bumping and bouncing up and down the violently trembling tower along with countless airflows that were blowing back: "——Woo wow!"
"Is this so exciting?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was also held by the giant hand and shook up and down in the room, struggling with all his strength, gradually got up from the ground with an extremely strong sense of dizziness: "You...
Did not you say……"
"I really reminded you." The flickering lights gradually stabilized as the chaotic magic flow gradually stabilized, but the figure of Duan Qing and others who were getting up reflected in it could not recover so quickly:
"This is a city-level group space teleportation. It can guarantee that we will not be torn apart by the laws of space during this teleportation. This is enough for us to worship that dragon lady... Hmm."
"It seems to have been successful."
The palms of his hands were firmly supported on the table in front of him. Duan Qing's voice also stabilized after a period of gasping. The scattered eyes began to regroup as his consciousness gradually recovered, and finally stopped at the same point, which also became stable again.
, at this time, the magic screen is showing information and scenes from the outside world.
*************************************
"They left?"
At the same moment, the two prosecutors from the alliance who were hunting on the boundless loess plain suddenly stopped. The huge light from the distance behind them also brought a sudden golden afterglow. In front of them, the two prosecutors suddenly stopped.
Suddenly disappeared from the field of vision - the short-lived golden branches were shattered inch by inch under the blue sky curtain, and then turned into dissipated dust under the impact of a sky-wide wind wall that suddenly passed through this airspace, and was urgently propped up
The two people on the Law Shield then watched as the black spots on the tops of these scattered branches suddenly disappeared at the moment when the wind wall was about to crush them, as if a small hole was dug out in the blue background.
Black spot: "Space movement? And it's main city level space movement?"
"It should be the work of the golden dragon, as are the previous magic circles that draw diversion from the earth's veins." The short man in a suit then put down the arm he subconsciously raised in front of him: "But... they are so decisive? They don't
Have you saved the two companions in front of you?"
"Under the threat of our 'laws', these two people should never have a chance to escape." The tall suit player then turned his head and looked forward: "And under this wind pressure attack, they should not have any chance.
The possibility of survival is right——well.”
"Disappeared." Looking at the empty scene in front of him, a sense of doubt flashed in the eyes of the prosecutor of the alliance: "Oops, my attention was diverted just now... They escaped.
?Or are you being crushed to pieces by the wind wall?"
The second wall of wind passed by them as the two people fell into silence at the same time. The destructive shock wave that was enough to shake the loess on the ground and the entire space did not affect the two people standing there at all. They did not
He turned back to welcome the appearance of the third wind wall, and instead used heavy and slow movements to take out something from his arms that seemed to be used for communication: "...Call headquarters, No. 44, No. 45, call headquarters."
"...No, we haven't achieved the goal yet - to be precise, we are not sure whether we have achieved the goal, so..."
"...Yes, please confirm the situation in the direction of the Divine Mountain in the Wind Continent."
"--What?"
Information that is enough to penetrate the game world and the real world is quickly transmitted along the top of the loess. What is presented to the ears of the two is an unexpected and reasonable result. The floating island carrying the players and the indigenous people has now
Appearing at the end of this loess plain full of destruction, floating quietly in front of a real wall - as if representing the edge of the entire world, standing in front of this floating island is an almost invisible wall.
At the top of the huge mountain, no edge can be seen from above or to the left or right. At this time, the mountain seems to be quietly watching this tiny insect in front of it, filling it with the howling wind that is still blowing by.
The vision of Duan Qing and others: "...are we finally there?"
"If the Holy Mountain is really a mountain, then we should have arrived. If not, then I highly doubt that we have moved to the edge of the map... By the way, does the free world have the concept of map boundaries?"
"According to the information currently available to players, no one has been able to explore the edge of any map. Although this does not mean that the free world does not have the edge of the world, there have been players who have used the data and related information a long time ago.
Have studied similar things——"
"It's impossible, impossible, impossible. I never believe there is any end to the free world. And do you still have to doubt the scene in front of you? This must be the sacred mountain!"
【Energy release has ended.】
The emotionless system prompt echoed in everyone's ears again, giving their consciousness a slap in the face that had not yet completely escaped from the dizziness, and this time the sound was not just heard by Duan Qing.
In the consciousness of the two people, Xue Ling Huan Bing, but it truly echoed in the entire surrounding airspace.
[Release success rate: 70%]
[Remaining internal pressure of the furnace: 48%.]
[The pressure is below the safety line, allowing mode conversion. 】
[Start mode conversion, estimated silent time is 5400.]
"It sounds like the situation is much better than last time, but-"
Duan Qing muttered these words to himself, and Duan Qing widened his eyes as if he was aware of it: "Why is it a global broadcast? Are we so close?"
"How many hours is 5400? I, I'm a little confused. Can any mathematician help me calculate it?"
"Why is the time shortened? Isn't the internal pressure released this time more? Isn't their furnace supposed to be more stable--"
The hustle and bustle suddenly died out the next moment, because Duan Qing had magnified everything displayed on the surveillance screen in the control room, and the intricate and mottled traces appeared clearly in the enlarged image, and the layers between the mountains were mixed.
There are many elements in the boulder that are not consistent with the ancient atmosphere: "What is this? Gears? And is that a pipeline?"
"This kind of feeling similar to abandoned machinery and abandoned cities - if we follow our previous reasoning and guesses, it would be normal for such things to appear on the sacred mountain. As long as they are not so big..."
"So many huge machines? Is the entire mountain made of such things?"
"Even if calculated in terms of Gundams, the number of Gundams stacked here should be hundreds or even thousands! What on earth did they build in the first place?"
"If it is determined that it is a machine made to cover the spring of wind element, I can understand why they want to make it so big."
Among the people who were pointing and exclaiming, Duan Qing was the first to break away from his attention and the scene in front of him: "Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing if it was blown away by the strong wind."
"There is no need to explain this for them. This is obviously called rough technology." Xueling Huanbing, who was looking at all this with his arms folded, also sighed: "If people from the Free Continent see this competition,
If a mountain higher than Xingshan looks like this, they will probably look disappointed."
"I don't think so. At least historians and archaeologists will be the first to rush forward, and by the way, our adventurers' commissions will be doubled several times." Duan Qing shook his head, and turned around with a wry smile.
Go: "As for whether the technology is rough or not -"
"Then you have to see it with your own eyes to know."
