Nothing could be heard or seen at the bottom of the cliff. Apart from an inexplicable feeling of déjà vu, Qu Yun could not get any clues.
Therefore, she retracted her gaze decisively, pointed to a very obvious small mound not far from the edge of the cliff that protruded toward the cliff, and said: "I'm afraid the time is limited, and we may not be able to get there when it gets completely dark."
Since the specific location of the "Crooked Neck Old Tree" was not described in detail in the diary, it must be easy to find. So Qu Yun just walked along the cliff for two or three minutes and found the target without much effort.
However, on the edge of the dusk cliff where the speed of time was strange, Qu Yun was not absolutely sure that she could reach the target before the sunset completely disappeared, so she still accelerated her pace.
Just as she started running, she suddenly heard a faint call.
"Help!"
The voice shouted like this, as if it came from the bottom of the cliff, but also as if it was directly in his own mind, and the four-dimensional spiritual level was coming from the body and outside.
At the same time, with her peripheral vision, she saw what seemed to be the edge of a pure white building at the bottom of the cliff, which should have been absolutely dark and impossible to see even if there was anything there. And the entire bottom of the cliff extended for who knows how many kilometers.
From the long abyss came a violent turmoil of arcane elements.
Arcane torrent! Qu Yun immediately realized what was happening here. This was not the magic of the same name, but a natural magic phenomenon similar to a tide.
It has various causes, most of which are caused by the legacy of magic disasters above the planet level. Within the scope of the arcane torrent, a large number of arcane elements will flow in the same direction continuously or intermittently, forming a closed arcane torrent.
Loop or rush into different dimensions of time and space at disaster nodes.
This magical phenomenon has basically no effect on the vast majority of mortal beings, and will only cause some insignificant problems such as strange conversations from another world coming from the radio, or lights flickering erratically, or cars failing to start;
However, beings like magicians who contain powerful mana and rely on magic to live and fight will be greatly affected. Conventional magic modeling cannot be formed in the high-speed flowing arcane torrent, making it difficult to cast magic.
The array loses its effectiveness, and the enchanted equipment undergoes benign or malignant, unforeseen mutations.
In more serious cases, just as magicians can move matter through arcane elements, they themselves may also be swept away by the arcane torrent. Just like people who fall into floods or are hit by tsunamis.
Like an unlucky man, he rushed into an unknown world and was even shot to pieces.
Realizing that a torrent of arcane magic had erupted at the bottom of the cliff, Qu Yun immediately wanted to turn around and retreat. Unexpectedly, before she could turn around, someone suddenly pushed her from behind.
?!
Qu Yun was more stunned at the moment than the fear of being swallowed by the arcane torrent or falling to pieces under the bottomless cliff.
Even if she didn't deliberately and carefully guard her surroundings, with her subconscious and habitual self-protection mechanism, it was impossible not to hear everything happening around her.
If there was any tangible entity that could interact with her and reach out to push her, it would be impossible for her to escape her ears.
And if someone hadn't approached me and pushed me, then the only person around me would have been... Kang Sini.
As for Kang Sini suddenly having a convulsion and trying to kill herself, it is absolutely impossible. So the moment Qu Yun flew off the ground and fell into the cliff, she immediately thought of three possibilities:
Is this Kang Sini fake? From the beginning, she just stole Kang Sini’s memory, and is an object that cannot be “exposed” according to the rules of this game?
Kang Sini is real, but what fatal danger happened on the ground that made her have to take this step and push herself off the cliff in order to protect herself?
Kangsini is not a magician, and even if she vaguely senses the abnormality of the arcane elements, she may not be aware of the fatal threat that the arcane torrent poses to mages. In her opinion, she has the [Flying] magic, and there will be no problem even if she falls off a cliff.
.So this is quite possible.
The last thing is...the enemy has the ability like Yin Xiyi, not to hide his body, but to make the opponent ignore himself in the subjective consciousness on the four-dimensional level.
He approached slowly, lying dormant and waiting like a hunter. It was not until an abnormality appeared at the bottom of the cliff attracted his and Kang Sini's attention that he seized the opportunity and made a sudden move.
"ti mi re- ri"
No matter what the truth was, Qu Yun could not sit still and wait for death. With the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, she chanted the three-ring magic [Flying] spell while falling, relying on the strength of the divine awakening level.
At the same time, he concentrated all his energy on the sound debate imaging field, trying to figure out what happened before the ground escaped his perception.
Unfortunately, although she could still feel the hard push on her back, there was no one on the ground where she had just fallen. What was even worse was that only Kang Sini was left with one hand and one leg.
It seemed that he was attacked earlier than himself and even fell below him.
This extremely strange scene gave Qu Yun a sudden chill in her heart. She suddenly remembered what happened at the gas station that morning. A series of sudden coincidences, which led to inevitable death under reasonable circumstances, was not like an invisible hand pushing behind the scenes.
Destiny?
In the morning, the thunder and punishment of heavenly calamity came, and now, the torrent of arcane magic from the center of the earth erupted. They were also extremely rare in the real world and a huge force that even high-level candidates could not compete with.
Did all this happen to ensure that he was killed? Did he and Kang Sini unknowingly "expose their identities" today? Were they "discovered" by some kind of existence?
But what fatal thing did we do?
Qu Yun didn't have time to think in detail, because the surge of the arcane torrent was like a flood carrying a victim, causing her whole body to fly up and down, and she was so uncomfortable that she wanted to spit out her brain.
On the contrary, Kangsni, who did not possess a large amount of mana within her body, fell relatively smoothly towards the bottom of the abyss at normal gravity acceleration.
"Don't be afraid, think about what happened to my father last night..." Sensing the urgent anxiety in Kang Sini's heart, Qu Yun used the unique spiritual communication between the two to comfort her.
Immediately afterwards, an upward arcane torrent rose, causing Qu Yun to be suspended in the air for a moment. The huge gravitational acceleration offset by the upward impact made her spit out a large mouthful of blood like a jumper falling from a high building to the ground.
People fall into a near-death state and their consciousness gradually becomes blurred.
She almost instinctively pulled out a scroll and tried to make a last ditch effort to save herself, but found that as she sank deeper into the cliff, her body seemed to belong less and less to her;
The power of the limbs, the mana in the body, and the connection with the Gate of Truth seem to be isolated to some other dimension and difficult to mobilize; the torn scroll cannot be effectively controlled by oneself.
Then, in a daze, she heard the shattered body of Kangsini below, and she saw an illusory figure that looked like Kangsini rising upwards, about to pass her by.
She could no longer tell whether this was what she saw from the perspective of the mage, whether it was a scene reflected on the spiritual level of the fourth dimension, or whether she had awakened and unknowingly briefly jumped to the fifth dimension while on the verge of death.
But out of the instinct to protect her companions, she in an instant cunningly tightened the transparent nothingness that looked like Kangsni to the Book of Retesin and threw it into her own badge space.
