This is the evil spirit codenamed Filax.
Gwen had seen him outside the defense line and fought him many times, but he had been in charge of the First Military Region for so many years and had never let a Filax pass through the Feilong Defense Line, let alone enter such a deep hinterland.
Gwen's expression suddenly turned cold, and even his temperament changed instantly.
Filax had only one eye, in the center of his forehead, staring at Gwen opposite like a light bulb, and all his claws moved restlessly.
But the next second, Filax disappeared from the spot, and then appeared next to Gwen, two claws like steel trying to grab him and tear him apart like tearing apart a flying vehicle.
However, Gwen had already thrown out the auxiliary card, and the auxiliary card turned into a spike and shot towards his eyes.
But Filax had already closed his eyes quickly. The spikes pierced his hard eyelids and did not penetrate as he wished. However, it still angered Filax. He roared and slapped Gwen with his claws.
But he missed. In the moment when he blinked, Gwen had already jumped on his back. A new auxiliary card appeared in her hand again, which turned into a spear and stabbed into Filax's neck.
Although Filax's body was as hard as steel, his neck was very soft. The spear pierced easily, splashing dark green blood.
Filax rolled in the air in pain, but Gwen held the spear tightly and stuck to his body steadily, not being thrown out at all.
Moreover, the white tiger flapped its wings at this time, and dozens of feathers flew towards Filax's belly.
Filax didn't take it seriously, but the dozens of feathers flew faster and faster, and a metallic light flashed on the feather handle. By the time Filax reacted, the dozens of feathers had all pierced his belly, and the originally soft feathers turned into tiny hooks, hooking his belly fiercely.
These feathers could not cause fatal injuries to him, but it was very painful.
Filax tried to pull off these feathers, but found that he couldn't pull them off at all, and it made him more painful.
Filax immediately ignored Gwen above his head and chased after the white tiger.
In almost another instant, he came in front of the white tiger. The white tiger, which was already very fast, had no chance of escaping in front of him.
Fortunately, Gwen's guards came forward and blocked the attack for the white tiger. Filax's attack was frustrated, and he shook off several guards with a wave
of his claws. The guards were not as fast as Filax, and they were about to be killed by him.
But the next second, the pain from the seam in his neck made Filax forget about the white tiger and the guards. Instead, he shook his head and tail, trying to throw Gwen off. But he didn't expect that the white tiger that had escaped would secretly come back and throw a few feathers at him again. After
being treated like this repeatedly, Filax finally couldn't bear it anymore.
None of his injuries were fatal, but they made him very irritated.
The pain from the seam in his neck had completely made him lose his mind, and he ran headfirst into the mountain wall, and if he couldn't throw Gwen off, he would kill the man.
He even ignored the white tiger that was flying towards him. Compared with his huge body, the white tiger was just a small stone that could be knocked away at any time.
But the small stone fearlessly shot feathers at him again.
Filax subconsciously dodged a little. He was busy dodging, but he didn't expect that Gwen on his neck had quietly come to his eyes.
Filax's weakness is his eyes, but he can fly, and his speed is extremely fast and sharp. It is difficult for ordinary people to attack his eyes. They may be slapped away by his claws before they get close.
The only way to attack his eyes is to approach his eyes quietly like Gwen did, leaving him no way to avoid it.
But this is also the most dangerous method.
Although Filax is huge and has very hard skin, the area from the top of his head to his eyes is very sensitive. He will go crazy instantly if he finds someone approaching. The scales on his head are all closed, and there is no way to stabilize his body.
Even someone as powerful as Gwen can only rely on the spear stuck in his neck to stabilize his body. Once he dares to go to Filax's head, he will be thrown off and swallowed by Filax.
Although the skin on Filax's neck is softer, the knotted muscles underneath will soon block the wound, making it difficult to break through no matter whether it is a weapon or a skill.
So Filax didn't care too much and just regarded Gwen as a disgusting bug like Baihu and the others.
But he didn't know that after Gwen stabbed into the neck, he also took out an auxiliary card. It was an anesthetic needle, which had already flowed into Felax's neck along with his blood.
That little bit of anesthesia certainly couldn't make Felax unconscious, but it could temporarily paralyze his judgment of the head's perception.
Gwen's judgment of timing was at the pinnacle, so he could come to Felax's eyes so easily.
If it were someone else, he would have died countless times in this process.
But even Gwen's set was only summarized bit by bit from countless people in countless generations of several major military regions fighting Felax.
Gwen didn't hesitate, and stabbed Felax's eyes with the auxiliary card.
The pain from his vitals made Filax roar violently. His claws went towards his eyes, trying to grab the human who hurt his eyes and tear him to pieces.
But Gwen was not afraid.
The burst eyeballs spurted out a smelly slurry. In this smelly and sticky liquid, Gwen released a skill auxiliary card. The bursting flames fiercely invaded Filax's head, instantly drying up the stench. Gwen's exposed skin also had rows of blisters due to the scorching. Filax
rolled over in pain. His body was huge, and he could not control his speed and strength during the rolling process. Several guards who did not have time to dodge were hit and their bones were broken instantly. Fortunately, they took out the treatment card in time to save their lives.
Gwen in Felix's eyes was also in a bad state, but soon Felix gradually stopped rolling, and his huge body disappeared in the air, turning into a deep red blood crystal.
Gwen grabbed the blood crystal in his hand, but he inevitably let his body fall down, but the white tiger arrived in time and caught him.
Several guards came over: "General, are you okay?"
Gwen shook his head, he didn't even have time to use the treatment card, just threw the blood crystal to a guard: "Return to the defense line."
Other military areas also experienced small-scale evil spirit invasions, but not as serious as the Feilong Defense Line.
Fortunately, the defense line has been having problems this year, and almost all military districts have strengthened their defense and patrols, so the casualties are not serious.
Leus and others mobilized troops and hired mercenary corps, and finally killed all the evil spirits in the city of Cor.
At this time, he heard about the collapse of the Feilong Defense Line, and was stunned at the time. He even asked twice before he was sure that it was true.
The Feilong Defense Line is known as the strongest defense line in the St. Roberts continent. It is not just a boast, but recognized by the five major military districts.
Outsiders only know that the First Military District is the most mysterious and the most difficult to enter, but they don’t know why.
Only the top brass of the military district knows that within the military district, the best supplies and the most powerful talents are given priority to the First Military District, but at the same time, the First Military District also undertakes the most dangerous tasks.
Every year, the card masters of all military districts go out of the defense line to kill evil spirits, on the one hand to protect the defense line, and on the other hand to earn blood crystals.
But most of them will only be within fifty kilometers of the defense line, and can only return in time if they encounter danger.
Only the First Military District is different. They have to go deeper, and even have garrison bases a hundred kilometers away from the Feilong Defense Line, and there are three of them. The
purpose of the constantly advancing garrison bases is to find the continent outside the Saint Ross Continent to see if there are similar people trapped by evil spirits like them.
This plan has been in progress for more than 20 years. The five major military districts have worked together. The First Military District has lost countless elites, but has only advanced a hundred kilometers.
But no matter what, the First Military District cannot be breached so easily.
Lius instinctively felt something was wrong.
At this time, Qin Ke and Li Chengji also came back.
Both of them were dejected.
Leus asked, "What? Not going smoothly?"
Qin Ke sighed, "We have tried everything, but we can't get into the map. Principal Li and I analyzed that the Chigui has most likely entered the map, and we don't know if there are other evil spirits..."
Baker had just led his men to kill the evil spirits and came in without taking a breath. Hearing this, he stood up and said, "What should we do? My students are still in the map!"
Leus said, "Principal Baker, please be patient, we will definitely find a solution."
He paused and told them the news that the Feilong defense line had been broken.
Baker's body shook and he almost fainted.
He never thought that he was still happily looking forward to winning the four-school league a few days ago, but he heard two pieces of bad news in a blink of an eye.
Qin Ke hurriedly supported Baker.
Lius comforted him, "Don't worry, Principal Baker, Gwen has already rushed back. With him in charge, Mosca Academy will be fine..."
Baker was confused and wanted to go back to school right away, but he couldn't let go of Xiao Qiong and the others. Both sides were his students, and he was very concerned about them. He even felt a little regretful. If their grades this year were not so good, and they were eliminated early like before, maybe they wouldn't have encountered such a thing.
The other two principals were also comforting Baker.
But Qin Ke knew the inside story, and looked at Leus suspiciously: "How could the Feilong defense line..."
Leus shook his head, indicating that he would discuss it later, and then looked at the others: "Whether it was the invasion of evil spirits or the blocking of the map, it was very suspicious."
Baker and others immediately reacted: "Did Admiral Leus find anything?"
Leus said: "I did find something."
As he said that, he released several surveillance videos. These people were the ones who were swallowed by the blood cattail and caused the riot.
According to the surveillance, these people had no intersection, and the only thing in common was that they had all been out of the city.
Several people were watching attentively, and suddenly Baker shouted, "Wait a minute."
Leus pressed the pause button: "Principal Baker, what's wrong?"
Baker looked at the figure in the surveillance and said doubtfully, "This... seems to be a student of our college..."
This shocked everyone.
Baker was worried that he had recognized the wrong person, so he called Wright again. Wright confirmed, "Yes, this is Julian, a senior student in our college."
"What's going on?" Qin Ke asked impatiently.
Baker then told them what Isaac and the others had reported before. When she heard that Julian went to the training hall of Falcon College, Mrs. Hollis was also stunned: "How can it be related to us?"
But she quickly called several students who were recuperating at Falcon College and learned what happened from them.
Hearing that Julian actually told Fakken College about the weaknesses of his own college team, Baker was furious.
However, Leus asked very carefully, and heard from Wright that after Isaac and the others followed Julian out of the city, they watched him disappear on the spot.
"Disappeared?" Qin Ke couldn't help but raise his voice.
On the continent of St. Robert, there are still some ways to make people disappear on the spot. Although it is a bit broad, it is also a direction after all.
And when Julian appeared again, he turned into a bloody cattail.
Combined with the breach of the Feilong Defense Line and the encounters with other military districts, no one present believed that this was just a coincidence.
"But, these are just students! What's the use of targeting them?" Mrs. Hollis couldn't help but say.
They are just a few card masters who haven't graduated yet. There are card masters who are better than them in previous years. Who would go to such great lengths to deal with them?
Unless there is something in this map that was not in the four-school league in previous years...
Qin Ke and Leus thought of the same thing: "UR card."
Everyone was stunned.
In fact, they all thought of it, but they still couldn't believe it.
When Xiao Qiong just drew the UR card, not only the other three colleges, but also the five major military regions paid close attention. However, after a long time, they found that Gu Xingmian seemed to be no different from others except that he ate something strange. He was even a waste and was not even as good as ordinary God cards.
Card masters all respected strength. Seeing him like this, they gradually cared less.
Although Gu Xingmian later showed new strength and changed their minds, they just thought that this was the ability of the UR card and did not think much about it.
"If the mastermind is really after the UR card..." Leus frowned, "That means the UR card has abilities or values we don't know about."
Although they didn't know what it was yet.
Leus made up his mind: "Mobilize people, rescue them all no matter what!"
Qin Ke nodded: "Leave it to me."
He quickly left the room.
Only everyone was left with frowns on their faces, looking at the screen, where the flight camera was working diligently, sending the images of Gu Xingmian and the others, and praying in their hearts.
In the map, Gu Xingmian and the others rested for a long time. Although their mental strength did not recover that quickly, at least their physical strength was better.
It has been six hours since they came in. The end time of the game has long passed, but still no one came to rescue them. Everyone has given up. It is likely that as Song Nanting said, something happened outside and there is no time to take care of them now.
If they want to leave the map alive, they can only rely on themselves.
They all drank nutrient solution before coming in, and they are not hungry now. Song Nanting took out a water flow auxiliary card and asked everyone to clean up and drink some. Then everyone stood up.
Fu Fenglin took out the long sword transformed by the auxiliary card, and put the mushroom into his pocket. He carefully revealed a part of the umbrella cover and looked outside.
According to the information returned by the spores, the red lines are approaching them.
Xiao Qiong asked Gu Xingmian to return to his spiritual body. Everyone held auxiliary cards and followed Fu Fenglin in a battle-ready posture.
Soon, they reached the edge of the area covered by the Chigui.
They could clearly see that the rocks under their feet were wrapped by those things that looked like blood vessels. On the rocks in the distance, the trees and plants withered one after another, revealing the faint red underneath.
The withered plants all over the mountains formed a sharp contrast with the gorgeous and strange red below, which made people feel a little cold.
At this time, those things were still growing and were about to approach their shoes.
Even Mo Ye, who always appreciated the strange and the aesthetic, couldn't help but take a step back: "Yue, what a disgusting thing!"
The next second, a red blood vessel-like thing jumped up from under their feet and stained Mo Ye's skin like a porcelain touch.
They had already seen the horror of this blood vessel on Louisa, so how could they let it touch them? Mo Ye's auxiliary card was powerful, turning it into a dart to nail the blood vessel to the stone, and then burned it with fire.
"It seems that this thing jumped out of the ground, everyone be careful." Song Nanting said.
As soon as she finished speaking, several more jumped up.
Song Nanting narrowed his eyes slightly, and the auxiliary card in his hand was already ready. He nailed both blood vessels to death. In his other hand, he had already taken another fire magic auxiliary card and burned them directly into ashes.
The three people from Faken Academy knew that Song Nanting was only an R card master. They were worried that she could not handle it and wanted to help her. They did not expect her to be so skillful that they were stunned for a moment.
However, Xiao Qiong and others knew Song Nanting's strength very well.
She was not only smart.
After solving these things, they did not step on it rashly. After all, it was too weird. No one knew what would happen if they stepped on it.
But these things have covered all the roads. If they want to leave, they must walk on it.
Before coming, they had a brief discussion and decided on several directions to test.
The mushroom spores can pass through it without being affected. They also tried shooting auxiliary cards, god cards, etc. to confirm that they would not be attacked from above.
Carlos flew around it on the griffon again, and there was no problem.
This made them feel a little relieved.
But they couldn't be completely assured.
According to the information sent back by the spores, this map has now become larger than when they came in before. Who knows how far the griffon can fly with so many people? If it can't hold on, they will still have to fall to the ground. If there is really something, there will be these things all around, and there will be nowhere to run.
Although, they don't have many places to run now.
Carlos took the initiative to take the responsibility of trying. If anything happens, the griffon will pick him up at any time.
He stepped on it carefully, and the feeling instantly made him frown.
It was soft and a little sticky, as if he had really stepped on a blood vessel.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
Carlos took a few more steps with gritted teeth. Except for the small blood vessel that jumped out and tried to drill into his body, it was simply unbelievable to him.
Everyone looked at his back worriedly, and Mo Ye couldn't help but said, "Captain...how are you?"
Carlos strode back and said, "Nothing happened."
Although everyone felt that it shouldn't be so easy to look at such a terrifying thing, they saw Carlos walk through it with their own eyes, and nothing happened.
Seeing that the places covered by the ghosts were getting more and more, they really didn't have much time to think, so they could only close their eyes and make up their minds, and walked up with Carlos.
Just as Carlos said, this thing is not dangerous except that the feeling is not good and some blood vessels pop out from time to time.
With trepidation, everyone followed Fu Fenglin and walked forward.
They walked very carefully, and with the example of Louisa before, they did not dare to hurt the ghosts on the ground. Even when dealing with the blood vessel-like companions, they were very cautious.
If they were physically exhausted or mentally exhausted, they would sit on Carlos's griffon or Burke's snowy owl to rest for a while.
After walking for almost two hours, they still hadn't reached the edge. According to the size of the original map, this was impossible.
Several people had to stop.
According to Fu Fenglin, this map is still very large, and the edge is almost invisible.
They thought that it was the gray fog that they encountered in the first round that divided the space into many pieces.
But Fu Fenglin quickly denied this.
In the first round, if the spores entered another space, they would lose contact quickly, but now he can still receive the images sent back by the released spores.
Everyone was very tired on the way, and they kept looking at these red things, which really made them restless.
Several people argued endlessly and started quarreling in an instant.
Even Xiao Qiong felt a headache because of their quarreling. He rubbed his forehead and tried to calm himself down.
At this time, in his spiritual body, Gu Xingmian suddenly said: [Could it be... a ghost wall? ]
Ghost wall refers to when people walk at night and cannot tell the direction, they will follow their instinct to walk a circular route and keep returning to the starting point, which looks like returning to the starting point. Or giving some targets to confuse people's sense of direction can also achieve this effect.
Some ancient formations used this principle.
Although it is a bit strange to use science to explain the alien world, this is indeed a direction that Gu Xingmian can think of.
Moreover, although they were not in the dark, there was no sun overhead. The mountain covered by the ghosts had no signs to compare with, and it was impossible to distinguish them at first glance. The red color was so eye-catching and made people anxious. It was not impossible that it affected people's judgment.
Xiao Qiong told the others what he said.
Everyone was stunned.
Could it be that this was really a huge maze, and they kept going around in circles in this maze?
