Chapter 254 Space Distortion Area

When Benjamin met senior Jack at the agreed meeting point on time.

He discovered that there were eleven strange wizards standing beside him, each with a different expression but generally a weak aura.

"Senior Jack." Benjamin walked up to him and greeted him.

When Jack saw Jie Ming coming, a smile appeared on his face: "You are here at the perfect time."

After greeting Benjamin, he shook his head with regret: "Alas, after searching for so long, this is the only number of people I can find."

Looking at the eleven wizards standing behind him, Jermyn nodded in understanding.

It can be seen that at this stage, it is indeed difficult to find people to form a team to cooperate in tasks.

After all, in the eyes of all wizards, the entire "airspace plane" is now a huge treasure that has not yet been developed.

Instead of wasting time and taking risks in this "distorted space" that sounds full of unknowns, it is better to complete a rescue mission with a fixed reward.

It would be better to fly farther like other wizards to find more resources that are readily available.

So apart from Benjamin, who had other intentions, the other wizards Jack could find were not of very high level.

Judging from the aura sensed by Jemin, these wizards are mostly first-level wizards.

And judging from the aura on them that hasn't been completely stabilized, they should be newcomers who have just been promoted not long ago and are relatively weak.

Because of their relatively weak power, these wizards would choose this task that sounds less dangerous to earn rewards for the sake of safety.

This is also the reason why Jack was so surprised when he heard that Benjamin, a powerful second-level wizard, was willing to help.

After all, when it comes to deeply controlling the number of soul contracts, a second-level wizard can be as good as ten first-level wizards.

The conversation between Jack and Benjamin attracted the attention of others, but no one present seemed to want to introduce themselves to each other.

Even Jack thought so, after greeting Benjamin and confirming that everyone was present.

He stood up decisively, led the team out of the camp, and flew towards the direction they had marked in the distance.

And Benjamin and the other eleven newly recruited wizards also followed him silently and left the camp together.

A group of people flew at high speed for six days in this white world with no reference points, and finally arrived at an area that looked no different from the surrounding area.

As they approached here, Jack, the leader of the team, stopped cautiously.

He turned around and warned everyone, "The 'space distortion' area is ahead. Please stay behind me and don't leave the team casually."

When Benjamin heard this, his expression turned serious.

He looked carefully at the vast airspace ahead, but found nothing.

It is no exaggeration to say that the area in front of us looks normal; even the floating white mist looks no different from anywhere else.

There was no sign of any abnormal energy here at all, and his various perceptions and the reconnaissance magic he had released in advance also did not give any effective feedback.

Until Benjamin carefully opened the "Universal Eye" again and limited his field of vision to a narrow fan-shaped area within a few meters in front of him.

Only then could he barely see some faint traces of clearly distorted spatial flow that were rippling like water waves!

"The danger of this space distortion... is far beyond my expectations..." Benjamin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If there were no special means of investigation, an ordinary wizard would probably not know how he died even if he crashed into it!

At this time, Jack took out a magic weapon from his arms that looked like a metal bird.

After he input a stream of mental power into it, he gently released it.

Then, the bird-shaped magical weapon seemed to be injected with life, turning into a stream of light and instantly disappearing into the thick fog ahead.

After a while, when everyone was waiting in confusion, Levin Mills' figure suddenly appeared a few hundred meters in front of them.

He appeared without warning, as if he had always been there.

Jack was visibly relieved when he saw this.

He turned around and looked at the newly recruited wizards around him, and carefully instructed them:

"Remember the area where the wizard just appeared. That's the only stable location we can find that allows us to safely enter this 'space distortion point'."

"And if you want to enter, you must strictly follow a certain flight path, and when you evacuate, you must also evacuate according to this flight path."

Then Jack led everyone forward.

He flew in a peculiar "S"-shaped trajectory, slowly approaching Levin Mills's location.

While following the flight, Benjamin keenly discovered that there were actually some very small balls hiding in the thick fog, flashing with faint light.

It seems that it should be like a "signal beacon", used as a marking point in this area without reference objects.

He silently memorized this complex flight trajectory and the relative positions of the small balls serving as reference points.

In fact, it was not just him. The other hired wizards were also silently doing the same thing.

"Levin, what's the situation in there?"

After finally arriving in front of Levin Mills, Jack immediately went up to him and greeted him.

Levin Mills just nodded politely to the new wizards like Jermyn, and finally nodded specifically to Jermyn as a greeting.

Hearing Jack's question, Levin Mills shook his head regretfully. "The space is distorted, and the area inside is even larger than expected. Now the search area is getting larger and larger. The first batch of reconnaissance beasts we deployed are almost reaching the limit of control range, but they still haven't found anything."

He then glanced at the wizards including Jermyn behind Jack and frowned.

He was obviously not satisfied with the strength and number of these new recruits: "Are you only recruiting these many people?"

Jack could see his dissatisfaction, but there was nothing he could do.

He sighed helplessly. "Many wizards out there are busy developing the other rich resources of the 'Airspace Plane' and have no time to pay attention to this matter. It's already good enough to find these people."

Levin Mills felt helpless after hearing this.

However, he also knew what the current situation of the plane was like, so he said nothing more and asked everyone to follow him into this "space distortion" area.

To the new wizards, Levin Mills and Jack just flew a little forward as usual.

Then, their entire bodies disappeared abruptly, as if they were wiped off a painting with an eraser!

Seeing Jack and Levin Mills walk in lightly, the remaining wizards looked at each other hesitantly.

Benjamin had previously used his all-purpose eye to observe the area in front of him and confirmed that it was indeed relatively safe.

So without fear, he was the first to fly over.

Coming to the place where the two people had just disappeared, he tentatively extended his fingers forward to touch.

Then, he saw the scene in front of him suddenly change!

The figures of Jack and Levon Mills appeared in front of him again out of thin air.

Is this the "space distortion" area?

I didn't feel anything at all when I jumped through space!

Doesn’t this mean that if a wizard accidentally encounters such a place in the wild, he won’t even know that he has fallen into a desperate situation and is lost!

Benjamin was secretly shocked.

Then he realized something was wrong.

Jack and Levon Mills in front of him seemed to be standing upside down in his vision.

Moreover, Benjamin also felt a strong pulling force coming from above his head, as if trying to pull him up.

Then he reacted immediately.

It’s not that they are flying backwards, but that he is flying “backwards”!

And... this "space distortion" area actually has gravity inside?!

Seeing the two people over there standing steadily on the thick clouds, Benjamin quickly adjusted his body shape and landed slowly and carefully.

He discovered that the layer of soft-looking mist under his feet was actually "solid"!

However, the clouds and mist are not particularly solid. Stepping on them gives a slightly illusory and sinking feeling, as if stepping on a ball of soft cotton.

Although it seems impossible to support the entire body on it, this land composed of clouds and mist can indeed provide enough gravity!

Other wizards followed in at this time and also discovered the strangeness of this area.

Levin Mills saw the confusion of Jermyn and the others and explained with a smile:

"This is the most special thing about this 'space distortion' area. Because a large amount of matter, likely drawn in from elsewhere, has converged in this same area, it has re-formed the 'gravity' rarely seen in the spacetime plane."

"However, it's best for you to maintain flight. This is because these clouds, which serve as the 'ground', themselves contain a large amount of pure wind elements, and there are likely many unknown small 'spatial distortions' within them."

"Once you're trapped in these clouds, if you're lucky, you might just be randomly teleported to another part of the area by the spatial distortion. If you're unlucky, you might be instantly torn apart by the chaotic spatial turbulence!"

"However, it seems that a large amount of wind elements have been gathered at the periphery of this space, forming the current 'distorted space'. Therefore, the space above this 'ground' is actually quite stable. You don't need to worry too much when flying here."

Benjamin was originally using his feet to test the clouds below with great interest. After hearing what Levin Mills said, Benjamin, like the other wizards who had just entered, subconsciously flew a little higher.
