The sudden change did not disrupt everyone's plan. Everyone grabbed their weapons and prepared magic spells, and evacuated the abandoned house in an orderly and fast manner. As soon as they came outside, Hao Ren discovered
Strange sight:
A huge, translucent cover shrouded the outside of the abandoned house at some point. This thing that looked like an energy cover had pale magic runes floating on its surface. The thick fog around the town gathered above it, rotating and compressing into something like...
The actual fluid was injected into the energy shield. This thing blocked everyone's way from all directions. When Lily saw this situation, she immediately drew out her ice and fire claws and prepared to go up and dig a hole. Nangong Sanba's eyes and hands quickly grabbed the rash girl:
"Don't act rashly! Figure out what this is first."
"We are trapped," Hesiana's face looked extremely ugly, "This is a trap!"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and then began to look around in his pocket to see if there were any tools that were more suitable. However, before he could take out his things, there was sudden movement in the open space outside the barrier: a heavy fog was seen.
The ground rolled, and a whirlwind of black smoke rolled up in the mist. This black smoke quickly gathered a large amount of soot from all directions, and gradually formed a human figure, which was clearly the Lord "Hammerwin" who had disappeared in the house.
However, this man now looks very different from the cowering look before. He has a straight back, a strange-looking short scepter in his hand, and an indifferent and cold look on his face, as if he is watching.
Standing outside the transparent shield like a group of experimental materials: "Do you know how long I have been waiting?"
Nangong Sanba raised his hand crossbow and aimed at the opponent: "Hai Mowen, what does this mean!?"
"I'm just gathering the necessary power for my gate, Lord Haimowen" said expressionlessly, while pointing to the magic barrier above everyone, "I advise you not to act rashly, here contains the magic that I have accumulated for centuries.
Magic. Its power is enough to trap an ancient god from the mythical era in a short period of time. You have no way out. The smartest thing is to stay quiet and wait for it to drain you dry. If you don't resist, this will not happen.
It will be painful.”
As "Hammerwin" finished speaking, the magic barrier above everyone made a slight buzzing sound. Those pale runes moved back and forth in a complex way, beginning to draw out the power of all living things inside the barrier. Hao
Ren noticed that several weeds under his feet quickly turned into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the big house behind everyone kept making strange creaking noises. Nangong Sanba and Cassandra were the first to
After reacting, they felt dizzy, and the power in their bodies drained away quickly as if there was a hole!
Hesiana finally reacted at this time. She raised her whip and pointed it at "Hammerwin": "You are not a lord... you are Baptiste!?"
The man outside the barrier nodded expressionlessly: "Is this difficult to guess? You only realized it now, little vampire girl."
Hao Ren suddenly understood the whole story. It turned out that everyone had been deceived from the beginning!
The man in front of him is not the so-called ghost of a lord at all. He is actually the wizard Baptiste that everyone is looking for. He cast necromancy on himself and transformed himself into a creature made of ashes, neither human nor ghost.
monster, thereby completely erasing the magic corrosion marks left on his body as a wizard. Everything he said before was all false. This guy's purpose from the beginning was to lure people to this highland.
In the abandoned house.
He set up a black magic formation here that can extract the power of living beings!
Hao Ren thought of the other party's various behaviors when he was acting as "Hammerwin", the timid and cowardly posture, the sometimes neurotic and sometimes hysterical crazy reactions. Now it seems that these actions are all cover-ups.
Diverting the attention of his group: He made himself act like a messy idiot aristocrat, so that no one would pay too much attention to what he said and wouldn't ask him too much!
"I've been waiting for a long time!" Baptiste seemed to have concluded that the people in the barrier were incapable of resistance. He was talking to himself while waiting for the magic formation to extract enough magic power, "I left a lot of secrets behind."
The clues are waiting for unlucky guys like you. Ah... how rare it is to have experimental materials with magic power. The power I can extract from a hundred ordinary people is not as much as what a magician can provide, and today
So much has come at once! I’ve been preparing for so long, I’ve been preparing for so long! Now I’m finally going to get the last bit of magic power I’m missing... I can finally go to the depths of purgatory!”
Baptiste seemed to be immersed in some kind of crazy imagination. Hundreds of years of living alone in this ghost place like a ghost made him completely crazy. He was talking to himself while unconsciously waving the weird shorts in his hands.
The expression on his face kept changing between dullness and madness. As he spoke, Hao Ren saw something emerging from the thick fog a few meters away.
Wisps of mist flowed in the air as if they were real. Under the pull of magic power, they outlined the outline of a huge vortex. Heavy red lights emerged out of thin air in the mist. Gradually forming a huge spherical structure. It was
It is embedded in the ground like a huge eyeball with a radius of several meters. In the misty sphere, a distorted landscape like another world is looming.
Purgatory Gate Baptiste actually found the connection between the purgatory space and the earth, everything was as accurate as calculated. At the same time as the magic power gathered, the Purgatory Gate appeared in the focus of the magic vortex!
It's a long story, but it all happened in a very short period of time. After noticing that the situation was not good, Hesiana immediately launched an attack on the magic barrier. She raised her whip high, and the whip was surrounded by
The sharp icy wind and hissing electricity caused a thunderous explosion when the long whip was swung down, and the movement on the barrier was extremely powerful. However, this attack had no effect. Then Duncan
and Cassandra also launched a series of attacks on the magic barrier, but after a violent explosion and vibration, the barrier stood still.
The short staff in Baptiste's hand flashed a few times when the barrier was attacked. He glanced at Hesiana indifferently: "A meaningless struggle, this can only be a waste of your strength."
"Do you know who you are plotting against? I'll scare you to death if I tell you my name!" Hesiana pointed at Baptiste angrily and cursed, then jumped on her feet and looked at Hao Ren, "You
Isn’t it awesome? Now think of something quickly!”
Hao Ren reached out to touch the bomb from his pocket, but before he could take it out, he saw Lily suddenly running in front of the barrier.
The husky girl first scratched the barrier with two paws to confirm that it was really strong, and then did something that no one could have imagined:
She lay down on the ground and quickly dug a hole...
Everyone knows this girl's ability to dig holes. Even with her bare hands, she can dig a hole and bury herself in the blink of an eye, not to mention that she is still holding two claws. On the spot, only earth and rocks were flying, and the sand behind Lily was like
It rose back like a fountain, and in almost a few seconds she dug a hole under the magic barrier that she could get out of.
Yes, she just got out.
At this time, Baptiste was still posing with his stick. It wasn't that he didn't see Lily's movement, but even if he saw it, he really couldn't think of a reaction: this is how normal people think when they first come into contact with a husky.
This was a situation. This evil-minded wizard kept his reflex arc offline and watched Lily dig out of the ground. He had no idea how to stop her... because he was unprepared for this situation.
Lily came to Baptiste so openly, reached out and grabbed the other's short staff: "Doubi, there is nothing under your magic barrier."
Baptiste looked as if he was stupid: "...I have never seen anyone who can drill holes before..."
Lily curled her lips and broke the short staff in her hand. The magic barrier around everyone immediately shook and dimmed. Hesiana strode towards Baptiste angrily, ready to teach this guy a lesson, but at this moment, unexpectedly,
Something unexpected happened:
Baptiste suddenly let out a strange scream, turned around and rushed towards the gate of purgatory not far away! (To be continued)
