Gu Shi tentatively placed his hand on the barrier. The smooth touch felt like a piece of glass in front of him.
Cheng Xuqing punched the barrier hard as soon as he came up, but it was useless and his arm was hurt by the recoil.
"Hiss, this barrier is so hard." Cheng Xuqing rubbed his arms frantically.
Zhao Zhize held his forehead weakly, "How did you come up with the idea of hitting it with your fist?"
Cheng Xuqing chuckled and changed the subject, "Hey, you didn't react right away.
This barrier doesn't look particularly easy to break, how about we go back to the teleportation tower and take a look?"
"No, that magic circle is constantly absorbing magic power. Not to mention whether the energy of the teleportation array can still be used normally, I'm afraid the staff responsible for operating the teleportation array has already collapsed."
Gu Shi took out a scroll from his space ring, ready to use absolute brute force to break through the barrier.
"You all move aside."
Relying on the magic and combat skills of these weak professionals who don't even have high-level skills will not only consume precious magic power but may not be able to successfully break the barrier. It is better to use the ultimate move directly.
Cheng Xuqing and Zhao Zhize retreated directly behind Gu Shi.
Gu Shi tore open the scroll in his hand, and a huge wind gun appeared out of thin air, crashing straight into the barrier in front of him, making a huge noise.
Cheng Xuqing's eyes lit up, "It works!"
A big hole was created where the wind gun touched the barrier. They were about to go out of the hole, but the barrier returned to its original state in just a few seconds.
Gu Shi pondered for a moment, "Looks like we need to move quickly. So, Cheng Xuqing, you stand over there, and as soon as you see the hole, run out immediately. A hole this big should be big enough for one person to pass through."
"OK."
After Cheng Xuqing stood still, Gu Shi took out another scroll. The moment the entrance appeared, Cheng Xuqing successfully left the barrier with a leap.
"Great, it worked!"
After finding the trick, Gu Shi and Zhao Zhize also successfully escaped from the barrier.
After feeling that the magic power in his body was no longer disappearing rapidly, Gu Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He now had time to look up and look back at the situation in Rut City.
At some unknown time, a dark hole appeared in the sky above the city of Root.
Gu Shi stood outside the city and looked at the black hole. The ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger. He could observe with his naked eyes that the black hole was still expanding outward and faintly distorting the surrounding space.
Cheng Xuqing said worriedly, "We made it out successfully, but those people still in the city..."
Zhao Zhize patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't overthink it. We're not saviors. It's good enough that we can escape on our own."
Cheng Xuqing sighed, "Ah, I know, but after all, there are so many lives involved, and I still feel a little uncomfortable. I just hope they can survive."
Gu Shi turned around and looked at them. "Let's go a little further. That thing in the sky gives me a very bad feeling."
Zhao Zhize immediately agreed, "Okay, let's go. We finally got out, we can't fall here."
Cheng Xuqing couldn't help but complain, "That thing looks like a black hole. Will aliens come out of it later? It's like a Star Wars movie straight out of alien magic."
Gu Shi glanced at him. It was hard to say. Demons were no different from aliens to this world. Cheng Xuqing's guess might really come true.
Several people retreated all the way to a small hill a hundred meters away from the city of Rut.
Gu Shi took out the crystal ball and began to try to contact Field, while Zhao Zhize took out a telescope and tried to spy on the situation in Root City.
Seeing what he was holding, Gu Shi was a little surprised and said, "You guys actually brought a telescope?"
Zhao Zhize explained, "It was Cheng Xuqing's idea. He prepared a lot of strange things before we set out, and I didn't expect them to come in handy here."
Cheng Xuqing said with a hint of pride, "This proves that I have foresight. Give me the telescope quickly, I want to see it too."
At this moment, the communication sent by Gu Shi was connected, and Field's steady voice came from it, "What's the matter? Did you find something again?"
"Teacher, the magic circle under Root City has been activated. It is rapidly absorbing the magic power of everyone in the city. Ordinary people have all fainted. The situation in the city is very bad now."
"What! The magic circle has been activated?"
It was the first time that Gu Shi heard such obvious surprise in Field's voice.
"Tsk, what stupid things did those guys do behind my back?"
Field muttered to himself, then immediately became concerned about Gu Shi's current situation, "How are you now? Are you trapped in Root City?"
Gu Shi replied: "I'm fine, I've already escaped."
"That's good. Remember to run away. I have something else to do. Please be careful."
"Okay, teacher."
Before Gu Shi could ask more questions, Field ended the call.
From Field's words just now, Gu Shi could judge that he was completely unaware of the changes that had occurred in Root City.
Why did the magic circle suddenly activate?
Gu Shi was full of doubts. He looked up again and saw that the black hole above Root City had already covered most of the city. It looked like it would be completely formed soon.
Cheng Xuqing, who was holding a telescope nearby, suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my god!"
"What's wrong?"
"I just saw someone flying into the sky with a sword, and then it seemed like he was immediately sucked dry by the black hole, and fell down in an instant."
The fighters who can fly are all high-level professionals, but they can't last long in front of this black hole.
Gu Shi knew that what happened in Root City today would probably not end peacefully.
After a while, the black hole had covered the entire city.
Gu Shi felt the ground beneath his feet suddenly vibrate, and the fully developed black hole emitted an extremely powerful suction force, swallowing up the entire city of Root.
The scene shocked everyone.
Cheng Xuqing's voice was intermittent. "Gone...? A city...just like that...gone?!"
Zhao Zhize also widened his eyes and was completely speechless.
Looking at the black hole that was still slowly turning after swallowing the entire city, as if brewing something, Gu Shi frowned, "It's not over yet, let's go!"
