Hearing this sentence, everyone looked at each other with some confusion. Cheng Lin couldn't help but explain a few words, and there was an uproar around the lake.
"You mean...Shi Si is going to have a decisive battle with Lancelot?"
"You mean... we're going to start a fight?"
This news is like a stone dropped in a deep pond, causing ripples.
Not only the masters of the major local bureaus, but also the monks wearing heavy armor all had the same sentiment.
Only a few, the team leaders of the first division seemed to have known something for a long time, and their expressions were relatively calm.
The battle of the eighth grade...
It happened so suddenly... No, if you think about it carefully, it has been inevitable since the day Bernard died. This projection probably just detonated the result in advance. After all, it is difficult to find a suitable stage in the outside world.
And what does this mean? Everyone present is not a fool, and they soon understand that the outcome of this battle will definitely affect the dominance of the spiritual world, and even determine the pattern of the world for a long time to come.
"What else did Shi Sishou say?" someone asked.
Cheng Lin replied calmly: "Wait, the impact of the number of combatants at this level is not big, so we just need to wait here for the results."
This is indeed what Shi Shengcun meant. In the eighth-level battle, even the seventh-level monks would not dare to get involved rashly, let alone the lower-level monks. If they win, it goes without saying much, but once they lose... they can also be used as
Backup, rescued Shi Shengcun who was defeated.
Of course, this is the worst case scenario. From Cheng Lin's point of view, since he took the initiative to choose to have the decisive battle here, he must have hidden his methods.
"Just waiting..."
It could be seen that the monks who heard his words were generally a little disappointed, as if they regretted not being able to participate or see the details of the battle.
However, they also knew rationally that it was indeed not a scene they could peep into. Perhaps the aftermath of the battle was enough to cause them injuries.
"Oh, by the way, in addition to waiting, you can also try this lake. Perhaps this is the biggest gain from this exploration." Cheng Lin reminded again.
Lake?
People were surprised at first, and then realized something. Someone walked to the lake, took a sip of water, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "This lake water is similar to those dewdrops!"
Hearing these words, more than two thousand people could no longer calm down and came to the lake one after another.
And soon realized that the concentration of spiritual energy contained in the lake water was indeed astonishing, and it was much easier to collect than dew.
"How did this come about?"
"If I had known we would have found a way to get a water tank over."
By the lake, the powerful men from various departments and bureaus were surprised and felt a little regretful.
In their opinion, the value of this lake water is extremely high, but unfortunately, the amount they can hold is not much. However, after being frustrated for a moment, some people began to drink it in large gulps, and then sat cross-legged to meditate and refine it.
For a moment, countless flames of light rose from the lakeside, clearing away the water plants and sweeping out a large area of open space, and seize the time to practice.
Cheng Lin jumped ashore and when he saw this scene, he sighed silently and secretly clenched his right hand.
This lake is indeed strange, and he was surprised when he saw it. Although the concentration is lower than those of plant body fluids with offensive capabilities, it is not bad, but it is not very convenient.
Otherwise, he even wants to open up the spiritual world and try to divert some of the lake water for irrigation. But he still remembers that there is a small lake in his spiritual world.
It was a pity that when Shi Shengcun left, the large force behind him was already approaching. Cheng Lin thought about it and did not make any big move or make any noise.
I just tried to absorb some of it myself, and felt that my strength had also increased, and I was much closer to the seventh level.
"If you give me enough time, maybe I can advance here again and reach a high level." Cheng Lin looked at the vast lake and couldn't help but think.
Just thinking about the speculations Shi Shengcun said and the "task" entrusted to him, he could only give up this plan.
He knew that the current peace would not last long if Shi Shengcun's judgment was not wrong.
While thinking, the sky suddenly became dark again, and the sun that had risen suddenly dimmed. A gust of wind blew from the lake, rolling up the white mist and causing the weeds on the lakeside to sway. This abnormal wind immediately attracted people's attention.
of attention.
"It's cloudy!"
Someone shouted.
Cheng Lin raised his head and saw that there were indeed layers of dark clouds in the sky gathering from all directions and piling up. Soon, they blocked the sun, causing the entire forest to become cold and windy.
The water vapor in the air was thick, and more than two thousand people stood up warily, and then noticed green waves rolling up in the vast forest behind them.
The feeling of imminent rain permeated everyone's heart.
The dark clouds overhead gradually conveyed an inexplicable pressure, making all living beings near this lake feel their hearts heavy.
"Woo...Woo..."
In the distance, the plant spirit made a sharp, sad cry, which doubled the tension.
"what happened?"
People looked at each other, and then all looked at the depths of the lake shrouded in mist.
Cheng Lin stood on the shore with an expressionless face, thinking that changing local weather is a typical feature of the ninth level. Now it seems that Shi Shengcun and Lancelot may be close to the ninth level.
…
…
On the other side of the forest, in the dark and obscure jungle, densely packed supernatural beings came out. They had different appearances and different equipment. Some were holding cold weapons, and some were carrying shapes on their shoulders and backs.
Exaggerated psychic weapons.
Lancelot Anderson, an eighth-level federation and elemental powerhouse, stood silently by the lake. Under the gaze of the superpowers behind him, he stepped out with his right leg and stepped on the silent lake.
Immediately, a piece of ice floe formed under his feet, holding it up, and then he took out another foot... walking faster and faster, and gradually began to run. Every time he took a step, solid ice appeared,
Then it was trampled, covered with cracks, and gradually sank.
No one made a sound during this process, and Lancelot did not look back. He just ran wildly, and the area of hard ice under his feet became larger and larger. After running for a thousand meters, the ice layers were connected into one piece. Every step was filled with ice.
Break the ice and walk.
His light blond hair, which was tied together, quietly spread out and spread messily on the back of his head. His eyes stared straight ahead, as if he wanted to see through the fog the opponent who put strong pressure on him.
And behind him is the shore.
The woman standing at the front with her arms around the tactical tablet silently looked back and looked at the thousands of people with powers behind her with a solemn expression. Then, she saw the crowd parting, and a strangely uniform team appeared.
They were composed of knights wearing metal armor and long swords and wizard-like supernatural beings wearing staffs. At the front of the queue was a slightly skinny white man with deep eyes.
"Bishop Taylor, can the portal be activated?" The woman handed the tactical tablet to her right hand, hung it against the outside of her clothes, and asked.
The skinny "wizard" made a rather magical gesture, then smiled and said: "As you wish."
…
On the lake, in the shrill cold wind, Shi Shengcun put his hands on his back and stepped on a reed, walking with the waves, like a spray in the roaring waves. On his body, wisps of mysterious aura were like smoke, floating up and merged into the clouds.
Suddenly, if he felt something, he looked into the distance and vaguely noticed something abnormal. He sighed softly. He forced these distracting thoughts out of his mind, and saw that the reed under his feet suddenly hit the solid surface.
Ice, stop here.
Then, on the "ice field" shrouded in mist, I saw the figure of Lancelot Anderson walking alone.
…
shore.
The gloomy wind became stronger, making people's clothes shake, and the clouds above the head were dense, as if it was going to rain heavily in the next second.
More than two thousand monks stopped by the lake and looked into the distance. At this moment, even if they were not in the perception department, they could clearly detect the rich and violent spiritual energy there, just like thunderclouds about to explode.
The huge light shield in Sun Xiao's hand had turned into countless light spots. Fu Zhongting's eyes were narrowed to a slit, almost invisible. Xie Qingke felt the cold air floating in the distance and couldn't help but shiver.
None of them is qualified to watch this battle.
This is somewhat irritating.
"It's like waiting for the verdict." Sun Xiao took a deep breath and whispered, as if he was trying to break the heavy atmosphere pressing on him in this way.
"Shh," as soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Sha on the side. As an outstanding student of the Perception Department, at this moment, he seemed to have noticed something, and his expression became particularly solemn, "Have you seen it?"
"What?"
"Abnormal psychic powers." Zhu Sha said word by word.
At this time, his eyes had withdrawn from the depths of the lake and looked specifically at a forest on the left.
"Notice!!"
"Abnormal psychic powers!!!"
Along with his words, shouts full of pressure rang out from the crowd. This unexpected shout immediately drew everyone's attention back, and they instinctively went into a defensive state and looked around blankly.
"Look!"
Suddenly, a strong man from a certain department standing on the far left shouted. People looked around and saw a bright light filling the open space outside the forest. On the ground, there was a huge magic circle.
The pattern appears, causing abnormal psychic disturbance in the surrounding area.
Then, a large number of superpowers suddenly appeared in the magic circle!
That was clearly a Federation monk!
No, it’s not just that, there seem to be people with super powers from other countries and forces among them!
This group of people actually used some unknown method to teleport here across huge distances out of thin air!
This unexpected scene was beyond everyone's expectations. The command center immediately ordered to shrink the defense. In an instant, thousands of people with super powers were confronting each other.
"defense!"
Xing Hong shouted and led a group of elite troops to the front. The dense black armor turned into a solid line of defense. However, the people on the opposite side did not attack immediately due to the teleportation mechanism.
But when Xing Hong saw clearly the man standing in front, wearing a white priest's robe, he couldn't help but breathe tight: "Celicia!! It's you!"
When they heard this name, the surrounding Xia Kingdom monks were stunned for a moment, and their bodies suddenly became tense again!
Celicia! Celicia Taylor! The strongest player in the European Union! The leader of eup, and was originally ranked fifth on the global list. After Bernard's death, she moved up one place and was temporarily ranked fifth.
, a seventh-level monk!
Why is he here!?
After everyone was shocked, they quickly realized that EUP and the Federation had joined forces to teleport collectively at this critical moment. The purpose was obviously to take advantage of the opportunity when Shi Shengcun and Lancelot were fighting and Li Yang was not in the projection to try to attack the main force of Xia Kingdom!
According to intelligence, large-scale teleportation abilities are indeed a special ability possessed by Europe.
Hearing Xing Hong call out her name, the skinny Selicia smiled coldly: "It seems you don't welcome me very much."
At this moment, Xing Hongyi, who wanted to understand the other party's intention, sneered back:
"It seems that you still didn't remember the last projection in Singapore. You actually got involved with the Federation people again. What, you don't think you suffered enough losses last time?"
Hearing Xing Hong mention this matter, Selicia's face suddenly turned gloomy. She gripped the staff with her right hand slightly, and the gem inlaid on the top of the staff emitted a faint light:
"This time, it's you who should die!"
"Are you so confident? Just because of the people behind you? Or because of your rank seven?" Xing Hong suddenly laughed. On his right arm, the heavy armor buzzed, and a gun popped out of the metal shell of his arm.
A spiritual soldier with a sharp handle and great pressure. On his shoulders, two externally mounted spiritual cannon barrels began to warm up. "I admit that the seventh-level realm is indeed powerful, but you guys are not enough!"
not enough!
Xing Hong's tone was extremely firm and full of confidence. After all, the number of people sent by the magic circle was limited, and it was impossible to transfer all the people with powers.
At a rough look, there are only more than a thousand people on the other side, while there are more than 2,000 people on Xia's side!
Twice as much!
Under this gap, even if Selicia is one level higher, she still cannot really threaten them. Even if they do fight, there is a risk of being wiped out by focused fire!
And Selicia obviously knew this very well.
He didn't answer directly, but smiled again.
In the crowd, Cheng Lin always watched this calmly. No one noticed that when the other party appeared, Cheng Lin's face did not show much surprise.
It seems to have been expected.
Moreover, he did not think that Selicia and the Federation people came here deliberately just to fight an uncertain battle.
Sure enough, in the next second, the array on the opposite side dispersed, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Cheng Lin for the second time.
The man's lower body was wearing a pair of loose trousers that seemed to have never been changed, and his upper body was covered with a vest. He was barefoot and had a thick beard under his chin. His six arms spread out like a peacock with its wings spread out, and a dark brown face bloomed.
A “bright” smile:
"What if I were added to the mix."
Xia Kingdom Array.
Those monks in the first division were okay, but as for the practitioners in various places, many people's eyes widened after seeing this.
"What kind of monster is this?" Sun Xiao blurted out in shock as he carried the light shield.
Immediately, I heard Cheng Lin beside me sigh with a slightly strange look in his eyes:
"Dirang... you really don't have a long memory..."
