1825 Chain Lock

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The straight iron chain flashed in the depths illuminated by the magic light source Duan Qing raised. The upper part was connected to metal fragments like space junk, and the lower part extended into the darkness of the abyss that could not be seen. It seemed that there was no reason for Duan Qing and the two of them.

There will be any movement and shaking due to the appearance of the iron chain. If there is a way to close the distance, the two people can even distinguish the iron marks and the incomparable black color that have experienced time, frost and erosion from the surface of these iron chains, but no matter how they appear

Although ancient and dilapidated, their solid strength is still ensured by the pulling of countless huge metal scraps.

Through observation and induction from a certain distance, Duan Qing has even detected the information and intelligence he wants in the direction of these iron chains.

"I smell the elemental isolation force field here."

Pointing to the tight, straight iron chain closest to him, Duan Qing said in a low voice, suppressing his smile: "The metal platform we are on and the surrounding safety situation are mostly caused by the force fields attached to these iron chains.

Brought here."

"But something doesn't make sense." Xueling Huanbing, who was also observing that direction, crossed his arms and took the lead in denying: "We didn't find anything similar on the maintenance platforms we stepped on, and some of them have even been

It's broken into pieces, and the piece that was blown away by the wind energy is the 'Wuzhi Ping'."

"So we still have misunderstandings and questions about the occurrence and function of the elemental isolation force field." Duan Qing shook his head and replied in a low voice: "There are two possibilities derived from this. The first possibility: they

The isolation force field generating devices used can resonate with each other and form a three-dimensional spatial force field - this possibility is relatively low, because if it can cover the entire internal area of ​​the furnace, I should not be able to use any magic now.

right."

He shook the magic light source in his hand, but the light in his eyes became deeper and deeper: "The second possibility: what you see may not be true."

"...Is it the effect of space distortion again?" Looking around at the surrounding scene, Xueling Huanbing also frowned: "What we saw is not the actual situation? Then how did we get here?

?”

"Don't forget the section of road we once walked in the void space, the section that led us to the void library under Fulla's leadership." Duan Qing patted the space in front of him: "A straight path,

It is very likely that it jumped several incredible distances due to the effect of space distortion - I have been holding up the adventurer's manual and looking at it, and similar situations have happened many times just now."

"The current road can no longer be distinguished with the naked eye." After thinking about the map in his hand for a long time, Duan Qing finally spat out his words again after a long time: "I am afraid that the common sense knowledge we have will be affected the most.

Serious challenge, the next action, we need to temporarily abandon the normal concept of space and three-dimensional knowledge."

"That's easy to say." She curled her lips helplessly, and Xue Ling Huan Bing sighed with a look of embarrassment: "No matter how powerful a player is, it's very difficult for him to change his normal spatial perception at this moment.

Is it difficult to do it? Do you have any basis and confidence?"

"Of course, the clue is those chains."

Stretching out his finger again, Duan Qing concluded in a low voice: "Where there are iron chains, there are elemental isolation force fields. Since those force fields can function normally, at least there will be no distortion in the space in that direction.

question."

"Let's just go in the direction they are."

Taking the lead in crossing the boundary of the metal platform, the gray-robed magician then jumped in the direction of another platform further down. The Snow Spirit Huan Bing who followed him also gave up the doubts that had not been completely eliminated in his mind.

, followed Duan Qing's footsteps. The shaking metal fragments then continued to appear as the two figures flashed back and forth in the dark space, looking like they were being stalked downwards.

The pieces of seaweed and aquatic plants shaken by the fish, and the "metallic seaweed" they stepped on, would occasionally turn into scattered fragments in a burst of violent shaking and trembling, breaking away from the restraints of the iron chains below and floating upward into the air.

: "Hey! Be careful!"

"I've tried my best to control my power. This shouldn't be our problem... Look, there seems to be surging airflow passing by over there. It should be because of them."

"Can you actually break through the shackles of the elemental isolation force field? No, no, maybe it didn't come from below at all..."

"Stop thinking about such unanswered questions! There's no point in thinking about it! Let's go!"

Another metal platform turned into scattered fragments under the violent shaking and impact. The embarrassed figures of two players who had left the place in an emergency also fell on the edge of another garbage cluster further below, trying their best to climb up.

The gray-robed magician who had entered the safe area then made a panting sound and threw his struggling body among the rugged scrap metal garbage: "Huh, huh, huh, huh... This is really... a critical moment.

ah."

"Among the alchemy materials you carry, are there any ropes or something like that?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who followed, reminded in a low voice: "How about tying the two of us together? That way at least I can be there

I will pull you up at the critical moment."

"I don't object to being tied up with a beautiful lady, but it's best not to do it." With one sentence, he turned the other person's gaze and blushing face aside, and Duan Qing replied with a breathy voice.

: "It's not that I don't believe you, but in the event of a fall, ropes and the like will be useless."

"The moment we broke through the fault line, we were destined to separate into two dimensions." Pointing to the direction behind him, the gray-robed magician also let out a few wry smiles: "Fortunately, we are walking in the direction now.

There have been no instantaneous changes in space rules on our route, and no one has come out to interfere with us, so before there are no iron chains to show us the way, we—"

The topic suddenly stopped in mid-air, accompanied by the suddenly alert gaze of the magician who was half sitting on the ground. Xueling Huanbing, who also noticed the abnormality, hurriedly raised the round shield in his hand and fired the flying shot.

An obscure dark ray came and was blocked from in front of him: "It's the same plot again! When will your crow's mouth and luck change?"

"Who knew monsters would suddenly appear in this place!" Duan Qing, who also raised his weapon, looked helplessly as he looked at a strange human-shaped figure in a tattered cloak emerging from the depths of the dark space above.

He whispered: "But even if it is according to the design, a monster should appear at this time... Fireball Technique!"

The blazing fireball streaked across the dark sky in an instant. The bright trajectory did not hit the floating enemy as expected, but the red flame tail did not escape. Duan Qing had been observing his magic eyes.

In an instant, he suddenly disappeared at the boundary of a certain spatial distance: "——There is a spatial fault! Don't go beyond that place!"

"Don't remind me, I don't plan to rush up and fight it." Protecting Duan Qing with the white round shield in his hand, Xue Ling Huan Bing, with his back to the magician, also made a low response:

"But the other party doesn't seem to be planning to come down either."

"What is that?"

Looking at the sight of the humanoid monster dragging a tattered black robe flying to the other side with a howling sound, Xueling Huanbing couldn't help but ask aloud. Duan Qing, who was standing behind, was also brewing more powerful magic.

, while suppressing his voice: "It should be some kind of soul."

"soul?"

"Why, the soul body can't become a monster?"

The huge light tore through the surrounding space again, rushing towards the ghost-like monster flying in all directions with a faster trajectory than before. The crackling electric current also followed Duan Qing's lightning strike.

The power played its due role, and the monster at the end of the curved trajectory let out a howl representing pain: "Don't forget our previous guess, since the furnace is used to study the destiny body, those

During the experiment, various twisted souls will inevitably be produced, not to mention——"

"The distorted space that has been affected may have a certain connection with the void space."

Following the sound of Duan Qing's words, a deformed monster dripping with black slurry appeared all over his body, and then broke through the darkness on the other side of the space. He howled with a rotting atmosphere and then waved his hands.

His sharp claws rolled down in front of Duan Qing and the two of them in an instant: "It's a void beast!"

"I'll deal with it, you deal with the ghost above!" The voice belonging to Xueling Huanbing then covered up the howl of the twisted monster, and along with it, she suddenly dodged the claw attack.

The action of leaping to the opponent's side: "Charge and slash!"

"Well, it seems that we can only use one-on-one split tactics for the time being."

The black plasma then splashed out in the direction of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice with the strange howl of the void beast, but it failed to catch the white-haired female swordsman who had accelerated her movement. Duan Qing, who was relieved, also

Determined not to continue to pile up more worries in his fighting state, he threw another lightning strike at the monster figure in the sky: "Otherwise, if the number of monsters continues to increase, we may not even have a pair.

There’s no chance at all.”

"Climb the dragon!" As if ignoring Duan Qing's concern, the coquettish and moving figure belonging to Xueling Huanbing suddenly rose in a burst of rapid rotation: "Falling attack!"

"..."

Duan Qing, who concentrated his energy and slightly closed his eyes, raised the elemental staff in his hand in front of him. The ghost-like figure dragging a tattered black robe from above also had the same heart-stopping sharp look.

Xiao threw down a black energy arrow, which aroused an unknown glow on the magic shield on the surface of the gray-robed magician's body: "This guy runs so fast, I'm afraid only thunder and lightning spells can catch up.

It’s about speed.”

"So how about this?"

The blue magic light brewing in his hand was smeared on the surface of the staff like an enchantment, and Duan Qing's eyes once again lit up with a different flame: "The flame is a rising element, and after the countercurrent, there is a stagnant element.

——Although the effect of using frost magic is more direct, its significance does not lie in this."

"Elemental reaction—soul-eating ice thunder."

Another bolt of lightning struck the black ghost in the air with a refracted curve. The ice-blue light that was different from before was wrapped around the lightning strike this time, and the tattered black light that was hit was

The outline of the robe suddenly trembled under the influence of these entangled ice-blue magic, and the body that was shaking more obviously gradually became frozen as the icy power penetrated: "The control effect is very good, then -

"

"Fixed-point casting! Exploding fireball!"

Amidst a huge howl coming from the direction of the battle between Snow Spirit and Fantasy Ice behind him, the gray-robed magician raised his other hand brazenly: "If you can't kill me again, then I'll make up for it with another blow - uh

.”

"It seems that I win this time."

The heavy sound of falling to the ground caused violent vibrations on one side of the metal platform, and the voice belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing echoed behind the sound with subtle steps: "You can't even reach your goal.

It’s not done yet.”

"Why didn't you kill it? It was just knocked out of the field by me." Duan Qing pointed at the direction where the ghost, which was blown away by his previous explosive fireball and dragged a black track, suddenly disappeared into the depths of the space, with an innocent look on his face.

He spread his hands and said: "Anyway, I have found the secret to the countercurrent of elements and compound magic. I will definitely win if I try it again."

"But I have already won." Pointing to the motionless void beast behind her, which was stained with a large amount of black blood among the metal waste, the white-haired swordswoman straightened the tip of her nose with a proud look on her face: "Even if

You have to specialize in the arts, and my 'karma' seems to be a little better than yours."

"Yes, yes, this time it is your victory." So Duan Qing had no choice but to turn around with a dark face: "If it is still your victory next time, remember to come over in advance and help me... Let's go."

"What we should do next-"

Swish.

The turning movement was interrupted by the sound of the iron chain. Duan Qing's outstretched arm, which was trying to find a way out to the next platform, was also entangled by an iron chain that suddenly appeared in the air, as if the gray robe was in disbelief.

The magician then stared intently at the iron chain that inexplicably extended from the depths of the dark space to his arm. The body that was about to be dragged away was hurriedly held in place by the woman behind him: "——

I got you!"

"what is that?"

In the scene where the metal platform under his feet was shaking constantly, Xueling Huanbing firmly fixed one foot into the gap of the metal garbage: "Is it another enemy? Or is it the guy just now?"

"I don't know." Duan Qing, who used the rising rock pillar as another fulcrum to fix himself, hugged the rock pillar, gradually calmed down: "But this kind of instant entanglement... is normal.

Physical attacks and combat skills are not available."

"It should be some kind of special force at work."

He looked at another iron chain that suddenly stretched out from the other end of the void and wrapped around his arm, and whispered thoughtfully.
