Hero stepped into a ruins. Compared with the scenery of the imperial capital he had seen before, this place had simply experienced a brutal war.
Not to mention why Byrne likes Holo, every time he wants to talk, Holo can throw out a lead.
"The Imperial Capital has been rebuilt many times. Each reconstruction did not completely clear out the original buildings, but used them as foundations. This also made the terrain of the Imperial Capital much higher than the surrounding landforms."
However... this place was on the border of the imperial capital and was not the focus of reconstruction at that time, so some buildings were not completely buried.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the five of them stepped on the rubble and broken walls and hid in a corner.
"Is it really possible to detect leaks?"
Wright, the only one among the five who had learned the soul-sensing technique, was also the male sorcerer's apprentice besides Holo and Byrne.
The body is even slimmer than the malnourished Hero.
After the discussions and preparations between the five of them last night, Helo discovered that the soul skills of several of them were quite complete.
Wright is responsible for alerting the magician apprentices in other towers and scouting for traces of the Queen Ant.
Nia is learning a cursed soul technique, and making traps can play a very good blocking role.
Another female apprentice, Hero, was a little surprised when he saw the soul spell she cast. She was obviously very thin, but she was playing with a big sword, a big sword engraved with the head of a roaring beast.
Fortunately, he is an apprentice who can play with Byrne, and his family also has a mine!
I heard her say that the roaring sword was a pseudo-horcrux brought from home. Although it could not be soul-armed, its output alone was the most powerful among them.
As for Byrne's origin, Hero heard about it during the first class.
Most of the soul magicians in Fengdu have their soul circuits related to [wind], so naturally he joined the system chosen by his ancestors.
In one hand, [Wind Soul Arrow] appears and disappears.
This kind of flexible soul technique is very restrained by Hero, so he remembers particularly clearly the wind soul arrows that were flying all over the sky.
The rest of them have had the meditation method engraved on their souls.
Perhaps each has its own shortcomings in mastering the soul technique, but working together can still play a greater role in this kind of terrain.
"We have to see if you can find the queen ant first. If we find it first, the probability of success is still very high. We have five people. Those from other towers who are willing to take on this task should all be single people. No matter how many souls there are,
It’s hard to divide the coins!”
Indeed, this little soul coin is not worth forming a team for apprentices with more than three years of experience.
Two dandelion-shaped halos floated behind Wright's head. The halos were not bright, but they were particularly conspicuous in the dark ruins.
However, when Wright caught the two haloes and threw them out, they rolled to the ground and the light was extinguished. They were like dust blown in by the wind, crawling on the ground, jumping up and down from time to time, and traveling very quickly.
With sharp eyes, Holo discovered a very thin white line between Halo and Wright, which seemed to be the connection that Wright used to control and get feedback.
"Can more be sent out?" Byrne asked softly from the side.
Wright concentrated, "No, the original reconstruction process was too violent, which made the terrain below very complicated, and there are things below that are interfering with my control. Now I can only hold two groups of sentinel seeds. If there is no interference, they can disperse.
a lot of."
"No, it's a waste of time just relying on two groups of sentinel seeds to sense! The terrain below is complicated, and we have to be alert to the apprentices in other towers. Even if we can find the queen, we won't have enough time to arrange our back-ups!"
Hero pondered for a while, stood up and said.
"Can you find the thing that is disturbing you first? This situation is not described in the bounty issued by the tower. The risk factor should not be high. Get rid of it first, and then disperse the sentinel seeds. We need to speed up and dominate.
"
It's not yet the moment of head-on conflict between the two sides, and apart from the description on the bounty paper, they know no other information.
In a confrontation between two armies, intelligence is the first element, but Wright takes it for granted. Finding the queen is of course the most important thing, but other factors must be taken into consideration.
"The source of interference can be found. It only interferes with my control and does not affect the effect of the Sentinel Seeds."
"Let's go! Kill it first."
Norma carried the roaring sword and followed the sentry seeds rolling on the ground to clear the way.
Wright followed closely, keeping an eye on the situation in the ruins ahead, in case a sudden danger caused the front row of the team to die instantly.
Hero's nerves were also tense, and the curled-up "distortion" in his soul was about to move. If possible, he could control the dispersion of the distortion immediately, causing a temporary distortion of consciousness.
It's just that this influence is indiscriminate. Without the guidance of other soul arts, he can only control the distribution around him.
Byrne knew that the situation at this moment was special, so he sealed his mouth that he was hesitant to speak.
[Wind Soul Arrow] has been deployed and is hidden in the magician's robe, ready to go.
They left the last position to Nia. Whenever they passed an intersection or narrow passage, Nia would lay down a ball of [cursed spider silk]. Although the current curse is not very powerful, it can also cause people to wander in accidentally.
The people among them caused some trouble.
Random effects such as weakness in legs and feet, doubled pain, loss of five senses, etc.
The curse does not last long, and the user can actively consume soul energy to wash away the curse effect.
If you want to save soul energy, you can also wait for more than ten minutes.
Byrne secretly pulled Helo's robe, leaned closer and asked softly:
"Ahem, Piccolo, don't you need to prepare the soul technique in advance? I remember that the preparation time for [Moon Energy Explosion] is very long."
"There is this."
A silver light flashed from under Hero's robe.
"Would it be too wasteful to use a grenade so early? And wouldn't it make too much noise?"
"This thing is for protection. In case you are vulnerable... I will use it. With you and Norma in front, it is enough for me to gather the moon energy."
Byrne finally felt what his friends thought of him! He really deserves a beating!
What does it mean to be vulnerable!
The ruins hidden under the borders of the imperial capital have already formed a fixed appearance over hundreds of years.
They were not worried that a huge boulder would suddenly fall from somewhere and kill them.
It didn't take long, just passing through a few complex buildings.
Wright grabbed Norma in front and greeted the people behind him at the same time.
"It's here! The Sentinel Seed has sensed the source of interference in front of it. It's on that high platform. It hasn't moved. It shouldn't be a living thing!"
"Can the Sentinel Seeds further investigate?"
Hero and Byrne asked at the same time, there is no possibility of detours here, if you want to go up, you can only attack by force.
Wright frowned: "No, if you go further, the connection will be disconnected. Even if you use the soul thread to trap it, you won't be able to sense it. The interference in front is too strong!"
Holo and Byrne looked at each other and made a decision.
Byrne patted Wright on the shoulder, "You need to rest and recover your soul energy first, Nia! You cooperate with Wright's vigilance."
Holo volunteered to open the way with Norma. He had a [Tesla Grenade] that could restrict movement, and he also had a [Physique] bonus.
If you are really in danger, you won't be able to escape without fear.
rush!
everything's ready.
Norma blocked the roaring sword in front of her, followed closely behind by Hero and Byrne, and stepped into the Gothic-style building together, heading straight to the high platform upstairs.
Needless to say, the style of each reconstruction and expansion of the imperial capital was different.
It made Hero wonder if the people from the tower were tired of the scenery and renovated it.
