Chapter 371 370. Helpless
"Did Ilos really say that?" Eko stared at Salian in front of him, his tone full of disbelief.
After the encounter, Salian no longer held back in front of the captain of the guards, telling him everything he had seen and heard before, including his conversation with the teacher and the contents of those horrifying information blocks.
"So this madness that's spreading everywhere now is also caused by him?" Eko's voice trembled slightly with anger.
"I'm afraid... yes." Salian nodded with difficulty. He hoped so much that all this was not true.
"Is he crazy?!" Echo's low roar echoed in the empty darkness. "Leave now? Leaving now means plunging headfirst into the continent's conflicts, fighting those forces to the death. In the end, just like last time, let the uncontrollable human hero become the final winner?"
"Just for this reason, he didn't hesitate to destroy the entire dungeon and kill over forty of my elite rangers! And now he's planning to sacrifice even more elves?!"
"I must kill him with my own hands!" Eko became more and more angry as he spoke, with murderous intent boiling in his chest. He wished he could immediately stab Ilos' chest with both knives and get to the bottom of things.
However, trapped in this strange invisible cage, he had great strength but nowhere to vent it, and could only clench his fists until they made a creaking sound.
"Sallian," Echo suppressed his anger and placed his hope on the young mage, his eyes filled with eager anticipation. "The black wall blocking us suddenly disappeared. Have you found a way? Do you have a way to figure out how to leave here completely?"
Salian could only shake his head helplessly: "I didn't do it. I don't know what happened."
"Maybe someone else has found a way. The most urgent thing is to see if we can gather everyone together!" Eko quickly calmed down and made a judgment.
Salian extended the brilliance of illumination to its limit. The soft light dispelled the darkness and began to search for traces of his companions in this void.
Eventually, they found another student of Ilos.
Unfortunately, the disappearance of the Black Wall had nothing to do with him, and Ilos didn't even try to recruit him.
But they couldn't find the last person, Seldan.
The last section of the black wall surrounding the sacred tree area is still standing.
Now, it seemed to them that either Seldan had removed most of the Black Wall, but he himself was still trapped in the last area.
Or, Seldan had already chosen to stand on Ilos' side and left early, and the black wall disappeared for another reason.
But no matter what the truth is, they are stuck in a helpless deadlock.
In desperation, they could only turn their eyes to the static black information blocks in the space, trying to find clues from them.
However, this is undoubtedly a rather painful method, as not all information blocks contain only a few lines of information like the three diary blocks.
These blocks were of different sizes, and the one that had initially caused Salian so much pain was even considered smaller among them.
Every touch and every message received is a torture to the spirit.
Even though the three of them had tried their best to pick the smallest blocks and took turns bearing them, they were still overwhelmed by the massive amount of information.
It wasn't long before they were forced to stop this near-suicidal behavior.
Salian only felt dizzy, with all kinds of chaotic images and broken sounds flashing through his mind. He couldn't concentrate at all, and even the awakening spell had little effect.
The other mage was in a worse condition, he had fainted.
Even Eko, although he clenched his teeth and didn't say a word from beginning to end, it could be seen from his pale face and slightly trembling hands that he had reached his limit.
But after going through such tremendous pain and torture, they gained nothing!
They saw more tragic scenes after the fog enveloped the world, but found no information on how to escape.
Salian felt a wave of despair.
The teacher obviously did not intend to let him starve to death here. In other words, before he starved to death, the teacher's plan was probably completed.
If we consider that they will need time to rush over to stop the teacher after escaping, then the time left for them to act will be even more urgent.
But now it seems that it will be difficult for them to find a way out in this limited time.
Salian could only lie powerlessly on the cold ground and pray silently in his heart.
I hope his sister can be smart for once, realize that something is wrong, and cleverly stay away...
…
In the only corner still isolated by the black wall, countless huge information blocks are suspended in the void.
Puji is also in this corner.
The black wall that isolates those elves is essentially information, and Puji can pass through it directly.
In this last corner, there are many blocks that are dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the information block about the foggy scene that Salian first saw.
Even if they saw this kind of information block, they could only choose to bypass it. Trying to interpret it directly would be tantamount to seeking death.
The scout whose mushroom cap was not aimed at it flapped its wings and flew back and forth from one block to another without stopping.
Not every block was analyzed in detail. Lin Jun chose to receive them first, then take a look at them. If he felt that it was not what he was looking for, he would throw it into a corner and analyze it slowly later.
Only when I come across something that might be related to controlling a dungeon will I take a second look.
A large amount of information was piled up, but fortunately it was not enough to make Lin Jun feel stressed.
Compared to the empty one, this time it can be said that there is no risk in collecting information.
Moreover, although most of the information was thrown into the corner like garbage after Lin Jun glanced at it.
But in fact, the ratio of useful information in this space is much higher than that in the empty space.
Even if it is a meaningless picture or a few incoherent words, it is still countless times more meaningful than the pure garbage information in the normal abyss that is like rolling your face on the keyboard.
With Lin Jun's quick analysis, he actually figured out how Ilos controlled the transmission.
Because the sacred tree is rooted in this static abyssal space, any abyssal ritual used within the sacred tree will inevitably be disturbed, lose its original function, and turn into connecting the sacred tree with this space.
Part of the control over the dungeon is obviously found in the sacred tree.
In other words, as long as Lin Jun performs an abyss ritual, he can also invade the sacred tree.
Of course, success will not be so easy, but only by taking this step can we see the next step.
…
In the elf camp, a pile of materials was handed over to Pelager by Seldan.
"Are you going to set up some kind of magic circle? But what can you set up? The teacher actually gave this to you..."
Seldan was speechless. It wasn't that he looked down on his best friend, but he was just a ranger. He had some spellcasting skills, but they were only at level two or three at best.
It's okay to add some magical power to an arrow, but it would feel very forced to set up a magic circle, even the lowest level one.
Pelagle just smiled and said, "Come and see for yourself. I guarantee it will surprise you!"
And when Pellagor jumped out of his backpack of arrows in front of the sacred tree sapling and began to use those materials to draw a magic circle, it was indeed completely beyond Seldan's expectations!
He was horrified to find that this was not a backpack at all, but a disguised Pooji!
Before he could recover from his shock, Pelager pierced his abdomen with an arrow...
