Chapter 123 Earth Dragon Turns Over
The sound traveled very quickly through the empty tunnel. Hundreds of people immediately turned around and ran towards the exit.
The originally solid black iron tunnel was shaking constantly.
Irregularly shaped black gold nuggets fell one after another before anyone attacked or excavated them.
It hit the transparent protective circles one by one, bounced twice and then fell to the ground.
"You must not step out of the protection circle." Xie Zhizhi said in a calm voice. Fortunately, just in case, the first-level awakeners were inserted into the team at intervals to ensure that they could escape unscathed if an accident occurred.
Everyone was nervous, but luckily the water wasn't too deep, so they walked quickly and everyone was outside in less than a minute.
When he walked out, he found that the sky was painted with ink. In the pitch-black sight, he saw colorful balls of light emitting faint light being hit by rain in the protection circle.
"What a rain!" someone exclaimed.
As soon as it came into contact with the rain, the mud on the ground began to sizzle slightly, which was obviously acid rain.
Earthquakes and acid rain followed one after another.
The sky was as dark as an endless abyss, and extreme winds swept in.
In the distance, two black iron transporters happened to fly back. Without the protection of a first-level awakener, their bodies were slowly corroded by the acid rain while their wind absorption capacity was upgraded, like two chickens drowned in soup.
The surrounding mountains and valleys began to shake violently and sink, and the mountain they were on also shook and sank. Heavy rain water seeped into the cracks, and cracks appeared on the ground.
Xie Zhizhi staggered to steady himself, and pushed the people in his protection circle into the protection area of other awakened people.
She used her wind power to grab the two guards in the sky who were exposed to the rain because they had no protective shields, and brought them down into the protective circle.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
"I don't know how long the earth dragon will last. What if I lose my balance and fall into the gap?"
Xie Zhizhi heard Wang Xi's worried words, lowered his eyes, and saw that the cracks on the ground were getting bigger and bigger. He just focused his mind, kept jumping, and stood on the ground that had not cracked yet.
"You are all a little bit light, so please get under the protective shield and head upwards towards the mountain. Don't fall into the cracks!"
As soon as she said this, hundreds of people, like hawks, led by their master, flew to higher mountains to support themselves.
Xie Zhizhi looked at the shocking and tragic scene around him and said, "Xuzhou, Ping'an, use your devouring power to get out of the protective circle. Any stone that touches it will be devoured."
After three consecutive days of being outdoors in the dark, the two of them absorbed divine power faster than she had imagined. This way, the protective circle was not attacked by stones and could be maintained for a little longer, which also gave them a chance to exercise.
However, other divine powers cannot lock onto a target and hit it, which is far less useful than swallowing.
Xuzhou and Ping'an did as they were told. One by one, dark balls of light shot out of the protective circle, and any stone objects they fell on would be destroyed.
People inside the protection circle were safe and sound, but outside the protection circle there were thunderstorms, mountain subsidence, landslides, and fierce winds.
Low-rise houses in the distant city also collapsed.
"Miss, I wonder how the housekeeper and Jingzhe are doing?"
Xie Zhizhi was also a little worried, but there were also first-level awakeners left there, so their lives would not be in too much danger. But she didn't know whether the camp would fall apart.
This place is some distance from the camp, I hope it's just an aftershock.
While running for her life, she did not forget to control her mind and put the fallen treasures into the space.
Fortunately, this magnitude 5 earthquake lasted less than two minutes.
The mountain stopped splitting and its sinking speed slowed down until everything settled down.
The rain was still falling and the thunder was still roaring, but everyone felt as if they had escaped death.
At this time, they were all standing on the highest peak of the iron mine, standing crookedly.
The mountain below was cracked into countless abyss-like cracks that could not be explored to the bottom. Some cracks formed two cliffs facing each other, and there were bottomless caves underneath.
Xie Zhizhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately there was a protection circle.
"We must return to the camp as soon as possible before the protective circle is melted by acid rain."
However, it is not so easy to go down the mountain now. There are too many cracks. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss and it will be difficult to get out.
