Following the movement of the immortal star soul pointing to the sky, several people waiting here also looked upward at the same time. The top of the cave, which was also illuminated equally thoroughly, now formed an inverted funnel around the sky-like energy beam, like a

The dark clouds hovering around continue to extend in the direction of the light pillar. Because the light is too strong, the rocks at the top of the cave that are too close to the furnace light pillar have become difficult to identify in the blazing white. The players present can only

From the gaps between the white light and the rocks that cannot see the edge, leading to the sky, I can see a trace of blue light that is different from black and white. Hello.

"Wait, Blu-ray?"

Carefully identifying the blue halo that appeared at the top of the white light column, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes shrank for a moment: "How come the color of the sky appears? Could it be that -"

"No, it's impossible. This place is at least a thousand meters away from the top of the mountain." The handsome guy Jack on the side corrected him immediately, but the fingers that took out the adventurer's manual seemed to be trembling slightly: "Even if the top of Hulan Mountain is covered by this

The furnace runs through it, and with such a far altitude difference, we shouldn't see such a scene. The so-called sky should have been completely diluted by this super strong light source."

"In other words, this is some kind of illusion." The immortal star soul who first discovered the scene also put away his hand: "Or is it some kind of magical effect?"

"Is it possible that it's a projection? Or something like a telescope? After all, this furnace itself is a collection of high-intensity energy. It shouldn't be difficult to 'transmit' images from the outside..."

"The question is whether the appearance of this strange scene is natural or caused by human factors."

The busy movements that had been squatting on the ground finally stopped. Duan Qing, who had been silent before, also made his own voice at this time: "If it is formed naturally, then we can get a lot of accurate information from the perspective of magic.

Inference, but if it is a human factor, the possibilities become too many." Hello.

"You mean... they are carrying out some kind of transformation here?" Immortal Star Soul opened his eyes wide: "People from the Magic Empire did something to this furnace? Isn't this too ridiculous?"

"Maybe it's more than that." Fula, who also released her hand on Duan Qing and opened her eyes, replied in a calm voice: "I can't feel the connection between the surrounding earth veins and this energy generation place.

, it should have all been cut off in some way.”

"No, no, no, I don't believe it, that's a furnace!" Immortal Star Soul yelled in a voice that was still full of disbelief: "Without the support of earth veins, how can the furnace operate normally? A furnace that cannot burn firewood can still be used to scream.

Stove? This should never happen—"

His voice stopped, as if he had just realized a certain possibility: "Wait a minute, could you tell me?"

"If it is the Magic Empire, it is indeed possible to achieve this kind of thing." Duan Qing nodded, pointing to the blue halo they discovered earlier and replied: "Those colors that represent the sky are

It’s proof.”

"So just change the direction of the furnace, reverse the diversion back to its end point, and then graft it to another energy source - holy shit, who came up with this method? It's simply a genius... No, it's unconstrained!" Regardless of his own safety,

The wound that had not fully healed, Immortal Star Soul slapped his thigh and jumped up: "This is equivalent to moving the entire furnace out! And it still hasn't affected other places... hmm? Wait a minute."

"We have received no reports that the ancient furnaces in Tins Forest have stopped operating." Hello.

I don't know when I returned to the crowd. The secret language Ninglan who appeared here also maintained the etiquette of a maid, lowered her head and answered the words of the immortal star soul: "Including the forging industry that depends on survival, it has always been maintained normally.

operation—if something goes wrong, the adventurers there should be the first to discover it.”

"That is to say, there is no abnormality in the center of the ancient tree on the top of Hulan Mountain." Duan Qing nodded thoughtfully: "If the energy furnace here is operated in reverse, the ancient tree will definitely...

Hey, have we come to an end with this speculation?"

"It's impossible to tell. What if it's also grafted over there?" Waving his arms constantly, the Immortal Star Soul was still immersed in the enthusiasm of the previous guess: "Since they can use this furnace to

If you take it away, you can naturally bring the other furnace back! Or maybe they just keep the energy operation here temporarily and wait until the critical moment to cut it off - there are many ways!"

"At present, all this is just speculation, although from the perspective of what we want to achieve, their actions do conflict with our goals." Duan Qing replied with his mouth curled, but his eyes were from a distance.

The center of the white light beam turned elsewhere: "In addition -"

"You were too loud just now."

A subtle sound of breaking through the air appeared after Duan Qing's words, and the silent arrow attack also deviated from its original trajectory with a clanging sound, grazing the immortal star soul's scalp and nailing it to the ground, shocking him.

The fat magician jumped and then moved his gaze away from the missing tail feather of the arrow that was still trembling, and looked into the distance of the vast and empty cave hall: "Who? Who is it?"

"I'm afraid only Xianyu can shoot an untraceable arrow in this situation." Duan Qing, who hid his body on the back slope of Bone Mountain, also sighed: "I really hope that Baibu Wushuang can do it."

Here, these two people will definitely be willing to have a good conversation with the bowstrings in their hands... Ninglan, can you determine the location of the other party?" Hello.

"The space here is very large, and Ninglan can't travel all over the map in a short time." The maid player waiting beside her replied in a low voice: "But Ninglan has already confirmed the surrounding area, and Ninglan can guarantee that they will

It’s not within this range.”

"That is to say, there are no ambushes in the hall leading to the furnace...?" Looking at the adventurer's manual handed to him by Ning Lan and the map information displayed on it, Duan Qing rolled the scroll in his hand in a low voice.

The khaki brilliance arose: "It's hard to believe that those few people just now are the last line of defense left by them, but -"

“The procedures that need to be followed are still the same.”

With his back facing the back slope of Bone Mountain, he threw his hand high into the sky behind him, and the earthy yellow magic light entwining in his hand turned into a shadow in his swing.

The next moment, an arrow flying from a distance was missed and turned into fragments of rock and soil all over the sky: "——Lingbing!"

"found it!"

The spear set up by Xue Ling Huan Bing appeared in response to the sound and appeared behind the huge rock pillar on the other side. The barrel of the gun also moved quickly amidst the chaos of earth and stone debris: "Se30 direction! Fifteen degrees of oblique angle!"

"In terms of the efficiency of long-range strikes, bows and arrows seem to be inferior to firearms." Hello.

The bright gunfire brought out a straight line of gunfire as Duan Qing sighed, and a brilliant meteor appeared across the center of the cave hall illuminated by the energy beam. A figure in black that appeared at the end of the straight line of gunfire was also splashing.

The dark cave wall was thrown out of the blood flowers, and disappeared on the ground in the falling dust: "But when it comes to the terrain, they obviously know more than us... Where did they go?"

"The distance is too far, it is still difficult to hit the vital point." Lowering his voice as much as possible, Xueling Huanbing gestured to Duan Qing: "But at least he has left the overlooking position and can threaten us.

Sex becomes smaller.”

"We can't figure out how they are shifting their battle lines, so we still don't dare to act rashly." He put down the short gun in his hand, and the handsome guy Jack from behind turned his attention to other places: "Don't think you won't be able to find anyone now, after a while

Maybe he will go to another position to shoot illegally, which will become a problem sooner or later."

"Leave him to me." Still holding a spear and patrolling the area ahead, Xue Ling Huan Bing promised in a low voice: "If he dares to show his face in this way again, he will be dead."

"It's best not to boast like this. He might be able to come up with some magical tricks." Duan Qing, who weighed another ball of yellow flame in his hand, shook his head and answered with his back to the slope:

"And he's not the only one we're facing."

"First think of a way to break through the situation in front of us." The hand covering his scalp gradually dropped, and the immortal star soul hiding behind another bone mountain bunker pouted towards the other side: "I said, snipers have been killed.

You have picked it out, but no one dares to go out and give it a try?"

Looking at the position of Fula who was being pointed out by his eyes, Duan Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head. The dragon lady who had been standing there ignored the expressions of several humans behind her and just looked at her for a long time.

After standing quietly, he slowly walked out of the clearing: "They are no longer here." Hello.

"So fast?" He hurriedly stretched the yellow flame in his hand into a rock shield, and Duan Qing, who ran forward, then looked at the empty cave hall and retracted his voice: "Ahem, what I meant was

"Why did they retreat so quickly? We haven't decided how to deal with them yet."

"I can protect myself." With a dull glance at Duan Qing, Fula crossed over the rock protection and walked straight forward: "And I also believe in 'Space''s answer to me. At the far end of the hall in front of me

No life has been found."

"With such a large energy source standing in the center of the space, your induction may not be accurate." Duan Qing secretly gestured towards the others behind him, gritted his teeth and continued to follow: "Besides, the energy structure formed by the furnace

It’s inherently unstable…”

"No, it is very stable now." Walking among the bone fragments on the ground, Fulla shook her head and replied in a low voice: "Because it died a long time ago."

"After the large-scale migration of our dragon clan."

The gradually approaching distance enlarged the width of the light beam, and the bright light that was enough to illuminate the entire cave hall began to become more dazzling in front of Duan Qing. The gray-robed magician who followed Fula here was still wary of the surroundings.

His attention gradually became more focused, and he began to think back and forth between the grand scene in front of him and the words spoken by the dragon clan next to him: "What did you say? When your dragon clan left the Free Continent, this thing already existed.

?”

"Needless to say, everything left in the huge ancient tree in the center of Tingsi Forest is enough to prove what you said." The slow pace stopped right in front of the huge light pillar, and folded his hands in front of him.

Fulla looked up at the top of the tall light pillar: "Rather than saying that it existed when we left, it is better to say that it has existed in this world longer than any other species, and it has existed before the elders of all races.

Before the history of the clan was completely passed down to our generation, we have already heard its story." Hello.

"Seeing your true face seems to be very important to you." Looking back at the other people who were still on guard in the rear corner, Duan Qing swallowed involuntarily: "Then the 'die' you mentioned is

What's the meaning?"

"When any advanced creature takes root in the Free Continent, it will choose a place that is more suitable for the survival and development of the group as its residence. These places with furnaces buried deep are the best choices for 'residence'." Fulla's golden child hole.

The blazing white light is reflected in them: "In the records of the Dragon Clan, these furnaces are called 'Anarestana', which means 'Fountain of Life'. They contain endless vitality and provide the basis for the reproduction of our Dragon Clan."

Living Life has been a huge help.”

"But now, I can no longer feel that vitality."

Slowly stretching out her hand, Fula's golden dragon child seemed to be about to be replaced by the white light in front of her: "It... is dead silent, like a lake that has never made waves, calm, peaceful, and -"

"Hey."

The arm covered with gorgeous golden sleeve patterns was stopped by Duan Qing. He stopped when he was about to touch the edge of the energy beam: "Are you okay?"

"——I'm sorry." Waking up from a strange state, Fula turned her head and looked at Duan Qing's face: "I... just... seemed to... see something, but I didn't seem to see anything... No

, is there no memory? It’s really strange.” Hello.

"It should be the result of being cut off from the earth veins. The remaining energy is simply not enough to support its own 'recording' function." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "But in this way, the previous guess can be regarded as partially obtained.

It was confirmed that they had indeed cut off the earth's veins and isolated the furnace."

"Then the remaining question is: How can they still maintain this empty shell in this state."

A dull purple light appeared around Duan Qing, and the outlined runes gradually formed into Violet's appearance: "Those old guys in the Magic Empire really have some skills, the techniques they use are old, and their effects are all kinds of weird.

"

"If an era is highly developed by means of magic, these may not be the only kinds of strange things you can see." Duan Qing replied expressionlessly, and then shook the magic weapon floating above his head.

Purple shadow: "What, are you done with your work? Are you finally willing to show up?"

"I still maintain the violet circle, dear apprentice."

Smiling and patting Chi Chi's head, Violet's eyes stayed on Fula for a moment: "And -"

"If I don't show up, those old guys might really be unable to hold themselves back." Hello.
