Chapter 121: Breakaway and Escape (345th update)
Chapter 121
"In my name, great spirit of the blue sky, please release all your power!"
The sound of the maple tree seems to be the whisper of gods, melodious and mysterious, echoing between heaven and earth.
In an instant, the maple leaves fell quietly.
A brilliant green light rose up from between heaven and earth, like the dawn breaking through the darkness, illuminating the entire battlefield and bringing an extremely overwhelming momentum!
On the other side, the alien creature controlled the scales, golden light shone, and the Lord of the Furnace was swallowed up by the power of the scales and completely absorbed.
And the next moment, the golden light once again shone on the alien creature itself, the balance shook slightly, and a terrifying energy wave erupted.
Even though Alder had already activated the hidden backup energy and released the strongest power.
However, at this time he was still being strongly suppressed, and every star in his starry robe was still shining brightly, trying to break free from the restraints.
However, at the same time, the alien creature stroked the golden scale in his hand as if it were a treasure, with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Ding! The light on the golden scale suddenly shone out, directly suppressing the starlight on Olde's body, making him unable to move, as if he was firmly imprisoned under the power of the scale.
"Um?!"
There were starlights flashing in Olde's eyes, and the starlights impacted the golden light from the outside world, but they could never shake this power.
At this moment, the murderous intent in the eyes of the alien creatures became colder.
However, just when the situation seemed to be settled, maple leaves suddenly floated between heaven and earth, one after another, as if a gorgeous maple leaf rain was falling.
Then, a low chant came from the void, echoing in every corner.
The spirit of the blue sky soared into the sky, emitting the most dazzling blue light!
The cyan light was like a mighty force, sweeping across the sky and rushing straight towards the alien creature! This attack came so swiftly and violently, with almost no warning, and neither Olde nor the alien creature had expected such a sudden change.
Boom! The green light hit the golden scale like thunder, making a clear and loud sound.
Snap!
In midair, the golden scale was broken by the powerful impact and split into two halves. The fragments scattered everywhere, and the light of the scale disappeared completely! "This scale is a reflection, so it is naturally not as good as the real Azure Spirit... Lin En, I have one last request from you. If you have the chance, use the Azure Spirit to seal my body... If it doesn't work, then protect yourself first and take me away..."
The maple tree's voice gradually faded away, and the last utterance carried a deep warning.
"Take advantage of this moment, before he gathers the scales again, and finish him off!"
As these words were spoken, the maple tree quietly disappeared and merged into the brilliance of the spirit of the blue sky.
Lin En's eyes flashed, and he was sure that the maple tree was really burned out and could not harm him anymore.
"Next time I sign a contract with someone, I will make sure to summarize each clause in detail to prevent such situations where I betray my teammates at the last minute..."
Lin En watched the maple tree disappear, thinking in his heart...
…………………………
Lin En put away the Spirit of the Blue Sky and turned his gaze into the distance.
Maple's all-out attack brought a turning point in the situation. Olde successfully broke free from the suppression of the scale, and the alien creature was blown away by the aftermath of the shattered scale.
Lin En took a deep breath and gathered his mental strength. Following the guidance of his mental strength, Ifgrid passed through the flesh and blood and spread deep into the earth.
At the same time, green light flashed on Lynn's body.
That was the effect of the first-level defensive magic "Echo of Vitality", which strengthened his defense so that he didn't have to worry about being attacked.
He whispered a few runes and released a spell: "Wind Spell!"
Suddenly, the energy factor of the wind element filled the air around, and Lin En's speed increased like the wind. He rushed forward with the wind under his feet.
With the help of the Wind Walk Technique, he quickly approached the place where Olde was fighting with the alien creatures.
Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the ruthless and emotionless Olde in front of him, and silently said in his heart: "As long as he doesn't use alien methods..."
Lin En took light steps and stomped hard, causing the entire earth to shake and the ground veins to move.
A thick tree root emerged from the ground like a snake, stretched rapidly forward, and directly attacked the alien creatures.
At this moment, the alien creature's expression became extremely ugly.
The shattering of the balance caused him to lose the powerful force that supported him, and the suppressing effect of the Poem of Withered Wan came back on him, causing him to feel extremely weak and uncomfortable.
If he hadn't been holding the scale fragment tightly in his hand, he would have been seriously injured by Olde's punch due to loss of strength, or even killed instantly.
With the help of the remaining power in the fragments, his strength was barely maintained at the level of a formal wizard, but it was still far inferior to his previous complete state.
However, just as he was about to continue absorbing other fragments to maintain his strength.
Suddenly, the ground cracked open, and a huge branch suddenly emerged from the ground like a python, rushing towards him ferociously and swiftly! "Huh?!"
The alien creature's expression suddenly changed, and its body tilted sharply, barely avoiding the direct entanglement of the tree root with one side of its body.
However, a tree root still grazed his thigh, as if a sharp sword had cut through flesh, causing flesh and blood to splatter and gushing out like a fountain.
It was not the body of the Bloodline Wizard that he took away, but the body of the Nature Wizard, which was still fragile, and the flesh and blood could be easily damaged by such an attack.
However, the alien creature took advantage of its split-second reaction and rolled sideways, raising a cloud of dust.
At the same time, he quickly grabbed a piece of scale fragment that was stuck on the ground.
The moment he held the fragment, the weakness in his body was slightly relieved, and the wound on his thigh began to show signs of recovery.
At this time, the tree root quickly retracted and returned to the ground. Lin En was already running at full speed and happened to witness this scene.
"We can't let him recycle the fragments!"
Lin En made up his mind, and at this time, Olde rushed towards the alien creature again, interrupting the latter's idea of retrieving the fragments.
"Olde has no personal emotions or thoughts at the moment. Instead, he is my best helper. Let him help me contain the alien creature, and then I will go and retrieve the fragments."
Lin En made up his mind and immediately turned around and rushed towards the scale fragments not far away, trying to pick them up.
However, the fragments contained a strong alien aura and energy. Although Lin En could use the alien language to try to control it, after using it, he would most likely be targeted by Olde.
However, at this moment he was holding the Spirit of the Blue Sky in his hand, so he shone it directly at the fragments.
The next moment, as if taking a photo, a maple leaf floated gently out from the spirit of the blue sky, and the fragment of the scale suddenly disappeared.
There were faint traces of debris left on the maple leaf. Lin En's heart moved and he immediately put the maple leaf away.
While Alder was fighting with the alien creature, Lynn took the opportunity to collect the remaining fragments, moving quickly and decisively.
…………………………
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, Lin En had collected more than 80% of the fragments.
Because of the restrictions imposed by Alder, the number of fragments in the hands of the alien creatures could only barely maintain the level of the peak of the first-level wizard.
Now, it's time to take action against that alien creature!
At this moment, Lin En licked his lips, and with the help of the Wind Walk Technique, he quickly turned around and attacked the alien creature.
With Alder's assistance, Lynn only needs to control his Ifgrid to attack from a distance.
At this point, Alder rushed towards the alien creature, forcing him into a dead corner.
A cold light flashed in Lin En's eyes, and his mind moved. Under the ground, the roots of the tree suddenly twitched and rushed towards the alien creatures!
With a "swish" sound, the two tree roots cut off the flesh and blood on the waist of the alien creature like a pair of scissors. Blood splattered everywhere and the scene was extremely bloody.
Lynn and Olde worked together to suppress the alien creatures.
Even though he relied on the strength of a peak first-level wizard and barely managed to avoid being defeated, it was obvious that he was on the verge of collapse.
However, just as Lynn was about to launch another attack, a sudden violent shock broke the situation.
Boom! Above the sky, the azure blue sky was like a flawless sapphire, quiet and deep.
However, under this beautiful sky, a tiny black dot suddenly appeared.
Then, the black spot gradually expanded, forming criss-crossing black lines, like a huge spider web that slowly cracked.
Snap!
Snap!
Cracks appeared one after another as the black line extended, just like the blue sky began to tear apart at this moment! The huge tearing sound shook the surrounding area like thunder, and the roaring sound waves shook the entire [landscape].
Whether it is the towering mountains, deep forests, vast grasslands, or tranquil lakes, all the scenes are shocked at this moment.
The sky cracked! Even though everyone knew that they were not in the real world, but were trapped in a strange space, the solidity of this space was beyond anyone's imagination.
Even the previous terrible witchcraft - [Poem of Withered Wan], only tore apart the maze level of space, suppressing the strength of everyone to the level of a third-level apprentice, but did not tear apart this strange space.
At this moment, the sky actually cracked! Lin En and the alien creatures were shocked by this scene almost at the same time. They all looked up and stared at the torn scene above the sky! As the cracks continued to expand, the figures of wizards in black robes slowly emerged.
Every time a figure appeared, it was accompanied by a powerful and oppressive mental force sweeping down.
The crack became wider and wider, and sharp mental forces shot out from it, locking onto Olde!
"That kind of badge..."
Lin En's pupils suddenly shrank. He saw the badges on the black-robed wizards' robes and recognized their identities: "They are the wizards of Furnace Stone!"
The Crucible Stone is the most powerful dark wizard force close to the Soul Eye Crucible. It has many powerful Morning Star wizards and is far more powerful than the Soul Eye Crucible.
"What a mess..."
A wizard in a black robe spoke coldly, his eyes swept over Lin En, Olde and the alien creatures, and said lightly: "The [Landscape] that we sealed up in the beginning has caused such a big trouble..."
"These damn law enforcement wizards are causing trouble for us again... Fortunately, we have blocked all the information here, so that these law enforcement wizards cannot connect to the formation. Otherwise, they will attract the attention of the Wizard Council again..."
Another black-robed wizard spoke, with murderous intent in his words, and he floated in the air and slowly told something.
Hearing this, Lin En's eyes narrowed. Maple Shu had said before that Alder must be used, and he thought that Alder would play a big role.
But now it seems that it was the people of Furnace Stone who were behind this, which prevented Alder from acting as a law enforcement wizard...
"Let's get that law enforcement wizard out. That's the end of the matter regarding this [landscape]. As for the others... kill them all! They were the ones who attracted the law enforcement wizard here..."
Another black-robed wizard spoke, full of murderous intent, his mental power surged, directly sweeping across the entire [landscape].
"Okay, I'll take the law enforcement wizard away, and you guys deal with the rest..."
A dark wizard nodded, and with a flash of his figure, he flew towards Lin En and the others.
Hearing this, Lin En's pupils condensed slightly, and his face under the hood looked extremely ugly.
[Landscape] Broken, the passage opened wide, and the dark wizards of the Furnace Stone suddenly came here.
Lin En thought he was saved this time. He even thought that the furnace stone was the help called by the Spirit Eye Wizard. After all, they all belonged to the dark wizard force...
But from their indifferent voices, it seems that these dark wizards are not here for the Spirit Eye Wizard...
Of course, they also want to deal with the [landscape] here, but their methods are completely different.
I didn't expect their "solution" to be to take away the law enforcement wizards first and kill all the rest...
The Furnace Stone is a powerful dark wizard force located in the heart of the dark wizard territory. They act decisively and brutally.
Besides, they didn't come here just to solve the [landscape] problem...
It's about solving the problem of law enforcement wizards...
By the way, Lin En and the others who entered the [Landscape] would be dealt with by them...
The dilemma Lin En faced at this time was how to survive in front of a group of extremely powerful dark wizards? These people had not been weakened and suppressed by the previous Poem of Withered Wisteria, and still possessed all their strength.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Thoughts surged like a tide, and Lynn's mind was in a mess.
He couldn't even see through the strength of those black-robed wizards in the sky, the gap in strength between them was too big.
At this moment, he felt helpless towards the unconscious Maple Tree. Maple Tree probably never expected that a force like Furnace Stone would appear in his plan...
In fact, it's not just Maple. Even Olde only said that he would complain about Furnace Stone after leaving here because Furnace Stone completely ignored the [landscape] problem here.
Apparently in Olde's mind, the Furnace Stone merely enclosed the [landscape] here and ignored it.
Then, this group of dark wizards from Furnace Stone came here at this moment, obviously not to deal with the landscape, but to enforce the law wizard Olde...
"Maple Tree, no matter how much you plan, what should we do in the current situation..."
Lin En pursed his lips. He even regretted not paying attention to the alien creature and leaving here as soon as possible...
…………………………
The situation at this time changed suddenly, beyond everyone's plans and calculations.
"Give me all the fragments of the holy relic, or we will both die here..."
At this moment, the alien creature spoke first, communicating directly with Lin En in the alien language.
"[Don't hesitate, you are not even at the first level. Once they make a move, you won't have any chance...]"
Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly. If it were any other wizard, they might feel some psychological pressure because of cooperating with creatures from other worlds.
But for him, cooperating with alien creatures does seem to be a viable option in order to save his life.
But cooperation is cooperation, and Lin En does not intend to hand over all the fragments to the other party.
The reason why this [landscape] was opened by the people of Furnace Stone is most likely related to his use of the Spirit of the Blue Sky to seal the scale fragments.
After all, if he guessed correctly, the witchcraft released by the maple tree using the spirit of the blue sky had probably exceeded the limit of level six.
But even so, this [landscape] was not blasted open.
Not long after he sealed the fragments, this [landscape] was torn apart. There must be a cause and effect relationship between them...
Even if he wanted to cooperate with this alien creature, Lynn couldn't throw out all the scale fragments in one go.
Otherwise, if the [landscape] fully recovers, won't it become the tightly sealed state it was before? I won't be able to escape even if I want to...
After careful consideration, Lin En took out the fragments and threw 30% of them to the alien creature.
Swoosh! The alien creature sucked the fragments into his palm one by one, and then he dodged Alder's attack with a flash.
"【Not enough, that's a level three creature, don't hesitate, if he comes over later, we'll all die..."
The voices of the alien creatures became more and more urgent, almost aggressive.
Lynn did not respond immediately, but threw out another two pieces of debris.
The alien creature grabbed these fragments, and the fragments of the scale in its hand gradually gathered into shape.
Boom! At this moment, a black wizard in the air finally descended. Without saying anything, he flicked his finger, and two bolts of lightning suddenly shot towards Lin En and the alien creature.
Lin En barely had time to react before he felt a sense of crisis approaching. The lightning was moving so fast that he could hardly see clearly.
He knew that even with the protection of Ifgrid and Echo of Life, he would not be able to block this attack.
This lightning magic from a third-level great wizard was enough to easily penetrate the two layers of defense on his body.
Fortunately, he relied on the spirit of the blue sky held tightly in his hands.
The lightning penetrated the space and shot out at high speed, heading straight for Lin En's forehead.
But at this moment, the spirit of the blue sky suddenly trembled slightly.
Swoosh! A beam of green light shot out instantly, sealing the lightning into a withered maple leaf, locking it tightly.
At the same time, the alien creature snorted coldly, and the fragments in its hand quickly merged to form a golden scale.
The balance seemed like a giant scale suspended in the air, emitting strong energy fluctuations, making the surrounding air heavy.
"May the great existence purify you with what it left behind in this turbid world!
The alien creature held the scales high, and his words were extremely sincere and pious.
That flash of lightning carried the terrifying power to tear apart space, shooting out like a rainstorm and also locked onto the forehead of this alien creature.
However, the next moment, the scales emitted a brilliant light! The alien creature actually sucked the lightning directly into the scales.
The next moment, even more terrifying lightning appeared on the other side of the scale, as if it was going to devour everything, and rushed straight towards the black wizard! Boom! This lightning was even more powerful and terrifying than the previous one! The black wizard had just subdued Olde with his palm and knocked him out, ready to take him away.
At this moment he suddenly sensed something, his face changed abruptly, he hurriedly waved his robe, and immediately condensed a lightning shield behind him.
However, the lightning directly penetrated his lightning shield and landed on him with a bang, like a heavy blow from the sky.
"puff……"
The dark wizard suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body was blown backwards, looking extremely miserable.
On the other side, Lin En's expression changed slightly when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that the scale could be used in this way.
"Give me the remaining fragments and I will let you out!"
At this time, the alien creature spoke to Lin En again, and his tone was full of threats.
However, Lin En remained unmoved and just gently squeezed the Blue Sky Spirit in his hand.
The current situation is too dangerous, and everyone is stronger than him, so in this situation, only the Spirit of the Blue Sky can give him some sense of security.
"【you……】"
Before the alien creatures could continue their threats, suddenly, a powerful mental force enveloped the entire [landscape] with lightning speed.
The aura of that mental force was so powerful that it seemed to be able to distort space and directly control everything.
"Huh?"
A slight sound of surprise was heard, and then the owner of the mental power suddenly locked his target on Lin En and the alien creature.
Accurately aimed at the Blue Sky Spirit in Lin En's hand and the golden scale in the hands of the alien creature.
When that mental force swept over, Lin En felt as if he was in a world of ice and snow, and his soul was shaking violently.
The strength of the owner of that spiritual power was too terrifying. He was the strongest person he had ever seen! The alien creature's face instantly became gloomy. Obviously, he didn't expect Lin En to threaten him in return.
But now there is a strong enemy outside and he has no time to waste, so he also tells Lin En the truth.
"【10%! Give me another 10% of the fragments and I'll send you out!】"
"【Open the door for me first!】"
Lin En didn't dare to waste time, but he knew that although he was anxious at the moment, the alien creature was more anxious than him.
Therefore, he held the handful of scale fragments tightly in his hand, and his tone was cold, obviously wanting to "hand over the money and the goods".
The alien creature stared at Lin En with its deep eyes. This creature who was fortunate enough to learn his language really dared to negotiate with him.
However, after a brief moment of daze, he took a deep breath and then operated the golden scale in his hand.
A bright light appeared behind Lin En, and beyond the light was a scene beyond the [landscape] - it seemed that a door leading to the outside world was slowly opening.
Boom! At this moment, the crack in the sky shook violently again.
This time, a fully materialized mental force transformed into a huge palm, directly grabbing Lin En and the alien creature.
The powerful mental force instantly locked onto the two people, as if to imprison them in this space forever.
Faced with such a strong mental restraint, Lin En had almost no ability to resist.
However, at the moment he felt the pressure, the Spirit of the Blue Sky and the Golden Scales simultaneously emitted light, instantly releasing some of the restraints, allowing Lin En and the alien creatures to escape temporarily.
Lin En stared closely at a wizard in a black robe in the crack in the sky. The wizard in the black robe seemed like a supreme god.
He slowly stretched out his hand towards the crack below, and that hand that reached into the [Landscape] changed into an extremely huge hand, grabbing Lin En and the alien creatures like the Five Finger Mountain.
Under such circumstances, how could Lin En dare to act alone?
He pursed his lips, threw the scale fragment in his hand directly to the alien creature, and then he suddenly fell backwards and entered the bright light! At this time, behind him, the trace of a huge green tree suddenly emerged and wrapped him tightly.
Then, Lynn took advantage of this moment to descend suddenly.
At the same time, Lynn's eyes gradually lost sight of the [landscape], and the trapped space began to become more and more distant.
He vaguely saw that the golden light of the scale in the alien creature's hand became brighter after it was filled with more fragments, and the golden light almost illuminated the entire sky.
The alien creature also uttered a word, but the distance was too far and Lin En could not hear it clearly.
But Lin En read the lip language: "[I'll take you all the way, don't let them catch you, I want to get my things back myself...]"
The next moment, the cracks slowly healed, the scene in front of him became increasingly blurred, and Lynn felt a powerful pulling force completely pulling him out of the [landscape].
