Suddenly attacked, everyone dodged and tried to fight back. However, most of the attacks were directly absorbed by the black magic tentacles, and only a few high-level attacks had some effect on the tentacles.
Caught off guard, several resistance fighters were caught by the tentacles on the spot, and then howled and turned into dry black dust.
However, the three ninth-level people reacted immediately and expanded their domain power, temporarily blocking those magic tentacles.
At the same time, under the full attack of the three people, the large barrier in the center made an overwhelmed sound, suddenly collapsed, and dissipated into a dark red mist.
The moment the barrier was broken, the surrounding tentacles all stopped, and then turned into dark magic mist and dispersed.
"Success?"
Seeing this scene, many people breathed a sigh of relief and showed happy expressions, thinking that the three ninth-level ministers had solved the danger of the ruins.
"Wait, where are the things?"
But at this moment, after noticing the disappearance of the corpse in the hall, another ninth-level man with red hair and golden eyes, surrounded by blue-purple thunder and lightning, suddenly spoke.
He is the veteran ninth-level protector of the Moon Creek Kingdom, [Thunder Heart] Dubit. Among the three ninth-level protectors present, he is the strongest.
At this time, Dubit looked at everyone present with some suspicion. After his eyes stayed on the other two ninth-level people for a moment, he glanced at the other people below the ninth level.
"Or was it taken advantage of by one of these ants?"
Hearing his words, Langton's heart beat almost immediately. Thanks to the help of Dark Crow, he could barely keep the expression on his face unchanged.
Fortunately, due to the special nature of the ruins' environment, almost all Qi movements were covered up by the chaotic aura of the ruins themselves. Therefore, Dubitt did not feel anything unusual about him.
"You should be able to tell that we just woke up at the same time, and you were even a little earlier than me. As for our subordinates, they can only return to normal with our rescue."
Frowning, Leo glanced at him, also feeling a little strange.
"I feel like it's hard to say whether it's true or not, just like what we just saw."
[Ling Ji] Povaris spoke coldly. As she spoke, her eyes were always looking at the center of the hall, where the red mist, although broken, still condensed.
"Perhaps... their true location is not there in the first place."
Hearing her words, the other two ninth-level people were also stunned for a moment, and then their eyes also turned to the red mist.
Indeed, this possibility is not impossible. If so, then the most likely place to hide something is undoubtedly there.
Are those really just projections...or did someone take them away in advance?
Standing behind [Ling Ji] Povaris, Mrs. Mandel glanced at Langton thoughtfully out of the corner of her eye, and then changed her mind.
She is a little scared now. In the illusion just now, she has seen herself breaking through to the ninth level limit, and has trained countless beautiful boys, including the man in the mirror, to become her pets, using their bodies to serve her daily life.
But when she opened her eyes again, she was almost swallowed up by the strange barrier.
Fortunately, I was not too greedy and asked for help from the ninth level behind me. Otherwise, if I really went into the exploration alone, it would be doubtful whether I could leave alive this time.
However, according to the current situation, if her guess is true, then she may really have a chance to not only gain the appreciation of the ninth-level boss, but also secretly pocket the infinite magic book of Horos.
But why hasn't the fog cleared yet?
While Mrs. Mandel was thinking, the situation in the hall changed again.
The red mist did not dissipate as everyone expected, but gradually began to rotate, forming a dark red vortex.
The black mist formed by a large number of tentacles around it was gradually attracted, causing the color of the vortex to deepen.
The eyes of the three ninth-level people became solemn at the same time. They could clearly feel that at the core of the dark vortex, something suddenly appeared that made them feel a strong threat.
At the same time, the entire pyramid began to shake violently again, and with a low rumble, pieces of gravel began to fall, looking like it was about to collapse at any time.
"Everyone, leave here immediately! Exit the ruins the way you came."
With a frown on his face, Leo immediately gave the order.
It was obvious that the goal of his trip was most likely hidden in the core of the vortex. But when the war began, he had no time to care about these subordinates.
After receiving Leo's order, everyone immediately fled in all directions. The other two ninth-level people glanced at everyone and did not stop them. They also ordered the people they brought to escape on their own.
At the last moment of escaping the hall, Langton couldn't help but look back.
In front of the three ninth-level people, at the core of the increasingly expanding dark vortex, a huge figure mixed with countless corpses and black matter was already looming.
Your Majesty Leo, please be sure nothing happens to you.
With a silent prayer in his heart, Langton immediately followed the Dark Crow's guidance and quickly escaped through a hidden passage.
According to Dark Crow, they are now on the ninety-ninth floor underground, and this passage can quickly reach the eighteenth floor of the pyramid, and the level of danger is very low.
Quickly walking through the constantly vibrating corridor, Langton nimbly dodged falling stones and at the same time avoided some dark magic tentacles.
Since he can sense the flow of magic power in the ruins, these tentacles and traps basically cannot cause him any trouble.
With all his strength to escape, in about half a magic hour, he passed through this secret passage and reached the eighteenth floor of the earth.
Far away from the core area at the bottom, the threat of various traps appearing in the pyramid is much smaller than that at the bottom.
"Sigh, I wonder how many of my companions will be able to leave here alive this time..."
While running quickly towards the exit, Langton sighed, a little worried about his companions.
"You have time to worry about them, why not worry about yourself now."
But at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears. At the same time, an invisible force field sphere suddenly rose, trapping Langton's entire body within it.
A figure dressed as a spellcaster slowly emerged from the side of the corridor.
"Who are you?!"
Frightened and angry, Langton punched the force field ball hard, but it had no effect.
"The power of rules, he is the ninth level! Langton, try to delay as much time as possible! When I notify you later, release the body immediately!"
Sensing something unusual, Dark Crow immediately reminded Langton in his heart. Then, he fell silent again, not knowing what he was doing.
"Haha, that's not important."
Smiling meaninglessly, the figure shrugged and did not answer Langton's question.
