The fiery red brilliance unique to flames rose as the scroll dissipated, and sprayed into the dark sky. However, before it could condense into a "jet" shape as the name suggests, the strong wind from the hands of Yumeng blew the flames away.
The fire light turned into tens of thousands of stars, sweeping towards the purple-black sky further away. The surrounding air was suddenly filled with a burnt smell, and it settled on Duan Qingsi together with the flying insects with burnt wings.
Beside them, the orange-red storm stretched out by the combined force of the flames and the whirlwind showed no sign of stopping, and finally broke through the purple-black clouds above them as if it had broken through some kind of shackles.
The blue sky was like the dawn after the rain, and then appeared on the path of the fire storm, just like the eye of the hurricane, reappearing in the player's field of vision due to some unnatural effect.
"This, this is..."
"Do you feel that the air has become much fresher?"
Looking up at the wind-blown wheat waves in the eye of the wind, Duan Qing's voice rang in my ears: "I'm not referring to your mood, but to the real air."
"...After what you said, it seems that it is indeed the case." Zhaguaqiecai, who stopped attacking, nodded slowly, while looking at the flying insects and poisonous snakes that had reduced their attack force a lot: "This
Is this the secret of Marom Stone Forest?”
"I remember at the beginning...brother Mai Lang talked about the spores in this stone forest, right?" Duan Qing replied with a smile: "The mushrooms buried in this stone forest dyed the sky purple and black... Now look
Come on, these spores may have more than just this effect."
"Otherwise, how could my fire storm burn up a whole sky?" Yuemeng put away his staff and looked at the round hole above his head with satisfaction: "Normal plants are afraid of fire... This is common sense.
!”
"Methods that are not conducive to the growth of microorganisms should all have such results." Duan Qing replied lightly: "Ice magic should also be able to freeze spores in the air, but there is no flame that can come so quickly. But...
…”
"Being able to use fire-based magic was beyond my expectation." He looked at Yuomeng's face: "He is indeed a great magician, and he can use magic of all attributes."
"That's just the function of the scrolls." Yunmeng scratched his face: "Just in case, I prepared some more scrolls, but I didn't expect..."
"I said... brothers." Chopper, who picked up the knife again, suddenly reminded the others present: "Let's stop wasting time, okay? Those monsters are surrounding us again!"
"It seems that dispelling foreign objects in the air is not as easy as imagined." Looking up at the blue void in the sky, Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "Brother Yumeng, how many fire elements do you still have?
Scroll?"
"There is another one, a fireball." The opponent raised his hand and released a wind blade, and at the same time curled his lips and replied: "There are no more."
"Where's the ice type?"
"Hmm...how do you know I still have an ice magic scroll?"
"Because you are a magician who calls himself a magician."
"What you said... seems to make some sense. In that case... let's put aside my doubts about you."
In the center of the battlefield that became buzzing again, the magician holding the staff also took out a scroll again, and then while the surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, he waved his hand and sent out another rotating storm: "Wind and Ice"
The combination of…”
"Then let's call it Ice Storm."
The blue particles were carried into the air with the emergence of the whirlwind, and instantly condensed into tooth-trembling ice clouds. Then, driven by the whirlwind, they rushed out towards the front of the team. Because of Yumeng
The ice storm that flew out horizontally under deliberate control immediately broke through the blockade of the insect swarm, carrying a large number of wings frozen by the extreme cold, and then, with countless falling ice crystals, it blew to a distance that was gradually out of sight.
The creatures in front of the team seemed to be frightened by this magic, and scattered in their respective directions like a tide. Only Duan Qing, who was standing at the front of the earth wall, stretched out one of his hands and caught a few.
A piece of snow fell from the sky: "It is indeed like this..."
"What is it really like?"
"You don't care what he is like, just leave as soon as possible."
Helplessly saying hello to the questioning Feng Chui Lang, Duan Qing casually patted the ice crystal spores that fell on his hand, then took out the black dagger again, and took the lead in running in the direction opened up by the ice storm.
Go out. When the other players saw this, they also understood it. They knew that such an opportunity would never happen again, so they stopped joking and gave up on the disgusting enemies that were about to surround them from other directions: "I said
...Haven’t other players thought of this method?”
"The big guilds that have opened up here must have thought of many ways. Could it be that those guys with thousands of members can't find a few decent magicians?"
"What does it mean to be a decent magician? A decent magician is someone like me, grandpa! Those players who only know one type of magic are just crappy magicians at best!"
"The crappy magic just saved your lives, so why don't you stop hurting each other? And things like compound magic... have only become popular recently."
Moving quickly along the road that was already covered with a layer of frost, Duan Qing responded to the discussions of others without looking back. At the same time, he looked at the stone forest behind them and said with some understanding: "There is also
…”
"The Marom Stone Forest...shouldn't have been so violent before, right?"
"Yes, yes!"
Aware of Duan Qing's gaze towards him, Feng Chui Mai Lang thought for a while: "The information I have heard are all rumors that the Marom Stone Forest is very dangerous. No one has ever mentioned that this place will become so violent.
, as soon as you walk in, you will be attacked by a group of people..."
"So... this should be the result of those ghost mushrooms accumulated over many years."
With a sword, he chopped down a certain wildebeest-like monster blocking his way. Duan Qing said in a low voice: "Their spores are the rulers here, and they are also the reason why the monsters are so violent. They were not so violent before.
It's prosperous, so people don't notice these... Hehe."
"Exerting too much strength will expose one's weaknesses." He murmured, "This sentence... has never deceived me."
"I hope your guess is correct." The melon and vegetable chopper on the side replied with a curled lip: "Otherwise... the method of breaking through here cannot be reused."
"Such a dangerous place...are you sure you will come back?"
"I haven't found my mission item yet! That thing called the Flower of Shadows..." The swordsman yelled dissatisfied: "The two layers of ice and fire you just burned, didn't you?
"
"Don't be excited, you don't even know what that flower looks like." Duan Qing said with a secret smile: "So...even if it really grows in that ghost place we just ran over, you will never feel bad.
of."
"Because... you don't even know that it has been burned." Yuemeng from behind also laughed: "Don't look at me, I don't know either! Hahahaha..."
"...You two are in need, right?"
"Need to cut? This kind of word is really very rare. I dare to ask this dear friend, is he a scholar from Yanzhao... Wow! Hey, hey, you really do it? We are still on the run..."
"Don't be injured by accident! Don't be injured by accident... Our blood volume is not full yet!"
"Stop it, stop it, the magic's effect is about to be exhausted. I have to prepare another one later... Damn it! How dare you hurt me?"
The random fights unfolded as a few people moved quickly. On the way to escape, they inadvertently knocked away several monsters blocking their way, and at the same time, their escape speed was invisibly accelerated. From Maro
Mu's malice gradually moved away from them unknowingly. Several people finally stepped out of this desolate and strange place, and then looked at the new area that they had never reached in the records, and subconsciously slowed down.
: "Hoo, ho...where is this?"
"According to the mark in the adventurer's handbook, this place is called... Tallond Crater."
Looking at the arc-shaped cliff in front of him and the neat circular area below the cliff, Duan Qing muttered in a low voice: "It seems to be a ruins."
"A ruin that has never been visited by anyone... We are going to make a fortune!" The wind-swept wheat wave carrying the package shouted loudly: "There must be countless treasures in it!"
"It's possible to end up in a place like this...it's a blessing in disguise." The melon and vegetable chopper, who was holding a big knife, replied in a low voice: "But before that..."
"We have to confirm first that this place is really safe."
From the first sight, this is indeed a deserted place. The purple-black aura coming from around this circular area is also proving this to others - the purple clouds covering the Marom Stone Forest seem to have been affected by
Some invisible obstruction stopped moving forward at the edge of this area, and the wasteland unique to the stone forest that extended behind them also turned into a ground mixed with metal in front of them. Perhaps due to some kind of
Due to the effect of external forces, the collapse of the giant pit is not as regular as it seems on the surface. Some areas are not only covered with fallen earth, rocks and debris, but also many unnatural tubular metals and broken boards have been inserted, some of which are relatively complete.
House-like structures are also scattered around this huge pit, which seems to be separated from somewhere. Judging from the fragments and scenes scattered around, these things look very much like places where people live.
As for their origin... perhaps we have to go to the huge ruins in the center of the giant pit to find the answer.
"It's like an abandoned city."
In the atmosphere where several people remained silent for a long time, it was Duan Qing who made the first comment: "And it doesn't look like something in a modern style."
"A city from the ancient magic empire?" Yunmeng rubbed his hands after thinking of this: "That would be great, we might be able to discover some magical miracles belonging to the ancient magic empire..."
"The miracle is probably impossible, but there is one relic." Cutting melons and cutting vegetables took the lead and poured a basin of cold water on it: "And... what if there are still people living in this place?"
"It's unlikely. After all, it has existed for nearly a thousand years." Duan Qing shook his head and replied: "Looking at the outside of this place...it doesn't look like a suitable place for survival."
"That's not necessarily true. After all, there is something like a shield here."
Reaching out to touch the air in front of them, Yunmeng pointed around the arc-shaped crater: "Since this thing can prevent Ziyun from entering... then it is not impossible to create a Taoyuan Township outside the world.
thing."
"How big are you in Taoyuan? Do your people like to turn Taoyuan Township into a tattered ruin?" He cut melons and vegetables and wanted to knock the knife handle on his teammate's head: "What if what appeared in front of us was a complete building?"
I might still be able to trust the city, but now..."
"Oh, what's the use of discussing so much? Just go in and take a look!" Finally, the wind-blown Mailang, who was a little out of breath, pointed towards the depths of the huge pit: "As long as we can grab the treasure, even if we die and go back,
What can I do..."
"A lot of the wealth in the ruins can only be seen if you survive."
Reaching out and patting the guide's shoulder, Duan Qing's voice slowly deepened: "What we are determining is not whether there are any survivors, but the next combat strategy. For example..."
"What should we do if there are enemies in this place?"
"How is that possible? You just said there is no..."
"Sh-!"
It seemed that he also sensed something was wrong. The magician who was looking into the distance suddenly made a silent gesture: "This guy is right. There seems to be someone in this place..."
He raised his staff and condensed a piece of green light, and then under Duan Qing's surprised gaze, he stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face. The magical energy glowing with green light then appeared in Yunmeng's eyes.
The surroundings floated like glasses, but after casting the spell, the magician lay on the ground without hesitation, staring towards the northwest of the huge pit with his eyes covered: "Let me take a look...
…”
"What kind of magic is this?"
"Vision of the Wind is something that a certain down-and-out mage taught me." Yunmeng explained without raising her head: "I originally thought it was just a useless magic to enhance the range of vision, but I didn't expect that it played a role after all..."
It's obviously a very powerful magic, okay...
Silently swallowing what he wanted to say, Duan Qing squatted beside him helplessly: "So... what did you see?"
"There are a lot of people, on the slope over there, maybe...a dozen or so."
"What? Have so many players discovered this place already?"
"No, they don't look like players."
The wind energy around his eyes slowly disappeared. Yunmeng lowered his head, then patted the soil on his body and slowly got up: "They..."
"They all seem to be wearing black clothes."
