Just as the three were about to start running further away, they saw the black hole's rotation speed suddenly increase.

The space at the center of the black hole seemed to be torn apart, and something was about to come out of it, but unfortunately they failed.

The next second, a dazzling beam of light fell from the sky and hit the center of the black hole directly, making an earth-shaking noise.

This unexpected development surprised Gu Shi very much. He tried to see clearly what was happening in the dazzling light, but he could only barely see a blurry picture.

There was a constant battle between the pillar of light reaching straight into the sky and the rapidly rotating black hole. From the beginning when they were evenly matched, to the later when the black hole began to slowly shrink, it was obvious that the pillar of light had the upper hand.

I don’t know how long it took, but the black hole finally dissipated in the light, and the beam of light also disappeared after completing its mission.

Gu Shi murmured to himself: "Is it over...?"

As soon as he said this, he found that his ears were still buzzing and he couldn't even hear what he said.

Gu Shi reached out and rubbed his ears, then turned to look at Cheng Xuqing and Zhao Zhize. Both of them were still immersed in shock and had not yet come to their senses.

Gu Shi didn't call them directly. Anyway, the crisis had been resolved now, and there would be no danger if they stayed stunned for a while longer.

After calming down Shu Feng, whose fur was already ruffling on his shoulder, Gu Shi began to count his losses this time.

Fortunately, he had the habit of carrying important items with him. What disappeared into the black hole along with the city of Root were just some daily necessities, which were not worth much money and were easy to replenish.

By the time Gu Shi finished tidying up, the other two people had almost calmed down.

Gu Shi asked, "Are you all okay?"

Zhao Zhize shook his head. "I'm fine. I was just too shocked by the scene just now, so I was a little distracted."

Cheng Xuqing opened his mouth and uttered quietly, "I now feel that the special effects in those movies I've seen before are so weak. This is a real grand scene."

Zhao Zhize slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Stop joking. If Gu Shi hadn't been here, we would have both died in there."

This sentence seemed to have touched a nerve in Cheng Xuqing. He was fine before, but suddenly he burst into tears. He cried and said intermittently: "It's gone, all gone, everyone is dead, wuwuwu..."

Zhao Zhize was frightened by his sudden change of expression, and half-pull his hands back, not knowing what to say.

Gu Shi walked over and patted Zhao Zhize on the shoulder, saying, "Let him cry. It will make him feel better after crying."

Cheng Xuqing is the most cheerful and outgoing of the three. During the time he has lived in the hotel, he has gotten along well with many people and become friends with them.

Now that the whole city is suddenly gone, it must be a blow to him. It is better to release these emotions than to suppress them in his heart.

Zhao Zhize couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. The person who had greeted them with a smile not long ago had now disappeared into thin air, without even leaving a body behind.

Just as they were immersed in the sad atmosphere, the crystal ball in Gu Shi's hand suddenly flickered. It was Field contacting him.

"How's the situation over there? The teleportation array to Root City has failed, and I can't get there for the time being."

Gu Shi replied: "The situation is very bad. Root City has disappeared. It was completely swallowed up by the product of that magic circle, leaving no trace.

Apart from those who escaped early like us, there should be no other survivors."

Field paused for a moment, then asked after a pause, "Is it because of that huge beam of light just now?"

"No, the formation created a black hole. The light column suddenly appeared from behind and shattered the black hole, preventing the incident from causing more serious consequences."

"I see."

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Shi asked, "Teacher, do you know why the magic circle suddenly opened?"

"I don't know, but I have a guess."

"After I got the powder that day, I went back to the Mage Tower to verify it. I found that the patterns were painted with pigments made from many precious materials. It was definitely a magic circle.

I was thinking about what happened in Rut City, so I informed the Lord of Rut City that there was a huge magic circle under their city. However, the Lord of Rut City didn't care about it at all.

He even said casually, "It's just a magic circle, just destroy it, it's not a big deal at all."

I warned him about the seriousness of the matter, but he didn't seem to listen at all, so I was too lazy to communicate with such an idiot. "

“If I’m not mistaken, the Lord of Root City must have done something to the magic circle, and the mastermind behind it sensed it.

Upon discovering that his plan had been exposed, the mastermind simply activated the magic circle and gave it a try.

Although I thought that the city lord was not very reliable at the time, the subordinates around him were still very capable. I didn't expect that things would develop like this in the end.

But this is just my guess. As for the truth, I’m afraid no one will know it.”

After Field finished speaking, he changed the subject, "What are your plans next? Come back and rest for a while or continue your adventures outside?"

Gu Shi glanced at the two people beside him who were not in the mood, and replied: "I haven't decided yet, but I think I will stay in a nearby city for two days."

“Okay, I understand. If you come back, I will prepare training tasks for you.
