Although Yohad's voice was low, the powerful ninth-level saints present could still hear his words clearly.
Alculus's eyes moved slightly, and then a flash of surprise flashed across his face.
It looked at Yohad on Jilinget's head, and then quickly glanced at Zhang Xiaoman who had flown back. It made one or two incomprehensible grunts in its mouth, and then became speechless.
On the sidelines, McAvoy watched this scene thoughtfully.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he, the organizer of the association, had so many things that he was not doing well.
"Perhaps he will be a better leader than you."
Elf Queen Regina stood beside him and spoke softly.
McAvey nodded imperceptibly, a flash of relief flashing across his face.
"If we can come back alive this time, I hope he can lead you to continue on..."
His words were filled with a feeling of loneliness and helplessness, as if he had already foreseen his next fate.
Regina pursed her lips twice, her face full of worry, as if she wanted to speak but didn't know where to start.
"Haha, it's okay. I feel that my physical condition is still very good now. Don't worry, at least until this crisis is over, I won't die so easily."
"..."
Everyone soon started on the road again.
The time now is noon in this world, and they are still about 30,000 meters away from reaching the top of the mountain.
If you follow normal mountain climbing, it is almost impossible to climb a mountain tens of thousands of meters high in half a day.
But today's climbers are some of the most powerful beings in the world. They possess ninth-level extraordinary strength. It is not difficult to accomplish this feat with this power.
The three giant frost dragons climbed very fast, especially Alculus. After what happened just now, it seemed to have become more relaxed.
At least in terms of rushing, there is no negative emotion like at the beginning.
As for Gillinget and Pujecrus, these two dragons seemed to have been affected to some extent. They no longer complained from time to time, but followed Alculus as they climbed the mountain with their heads buried without saying a word.
It can be seen from their eyes that the two dragons seem to be a little distracted, as if they are thinking about something in their hearts, a little absent-minded.
The height of everyone is constantly increasing, eight thousand meters, nine thousand meters, ten thousand meters...
When they reached an altitude of 12,000 meters, the surrounding temperature had dropped to a very cold point, and the air pressure also dropped, making it difficult to breathe.
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be in a coma by now, but the people present are all big guys of their respective races. With the protection of a piece of energy, they can still barely resist the environment here.
However, the three giant dragons are now in an undead state. They have no special feelings about this. On the contrary, the cold environment makes them feel much more comfortable.
This means that everyone has the Frost Dragon as a substitute. Otherwise, even if they can resist the harm of this environment, at least the speed will definitely decrease.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the people around him and began to think about whether to take out the last few Corona combat uniforms in his storage ring.
This thing allows an ordinary person to directly carry out activities in space. It is the existence of this kind of combat uniform that gives him the confidence to enter the Kingdom of God alone.
After all, McCarvey and others do not have the concept of a vacuum environment. They may have experienced the coldness of the sky when flying before.
But for a person who has no concept of space, he can never imagine what kind of place it would be at an altitude of more than 40,000 meters.
But at this moment, with the climbing of three giant frost dragons, when everyone completely crossed the clouds and reached an altitude of 15,000 meters, the surrounding temperature and air pressure gradually began to recover.
This surprised Zhang Xiaoman. He never expected that the nearby environment would suddenly change. This was completely unreasonable.
"What's going on? Why is the temperature of the environment rising? The air seems to be showing signs of backflow. Shouldn't these gases be settling down?"
Zhang Xiaoman murmured a few words to himself. This scene was seen by Hilna on the side, which made the latter show a puzzled expression.
"Lord, what's wrong with you?"
Hilna didn't understand.
Although she didn't know what happened, she at least understood that for the living, shouldn't they be happy when the temperature rises again? Why does the other person have such an expression?
Zhang Xiaoman looked at him, shook his head gently, and said it didn't matter.
He couldn't explain the structure of the planet and the composition of the atmosphere to a native who didn't know anything. He could only wave his hands and pretend that nothing happened, while he secretly increased his vigilance.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. The strange environmental structure of this world makes him a little unsure now.
Everyone continued to move upward.
Weird environmental changes have been happening since they crossed the cloud area. Later, the surrounding temperature even began to exceed the surface.
Twenty thousand meters, twenty-five degrees.
Twenty-five thousand meters, thirty degrees.
At 30,000 meters, the temperature reached over 40 degrees.
"What's going on? The temperature is getting higher and higher as you go up..."
Zhang Xiaoman's eyes were fixed on the sky above his head, and he began to think quickly about the possibilities of everything that happened.
"Could it be that...this is caused by that barrier...?"
He suddenly thought of an explanation. It might be because of the existence of the forbidden air barrier that it interfered with the operation of the planet's atmosphere at some level, causing abnormal air pressure and rising temperatures in the troposphere. .
Fortunately, a temperature of forty degrees is not an unacceptable high temperature. Although this temperature is difficult to reach in the hottest summer, it still does not have much impact on everyone.
Immediately afterwards, when the height of everyone rose to 35,000 meters, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly felt that the surrounding light began to become a little abnormal.
A strong light shines in front of the eyes, especially from the area of the sun. The light seems to become extremely dazzling in a short period of time, making it difficult to open your eyes for a while, let alone look directly at it.
"This is the work of the god of light! It must be that guy! What a cunning villain! Don't you even have the courage to fight us head-on!!"
Johad cursed angrily.
Several other people also showed solemn expressions.
The other party has obviously discovered that he and others are using the sun to attack him. If this continues, it will be difficult to guarantee that he will not be attacked by other sneak attacks in the future.
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head secretly when he saw this. He knew that this situation should be impossible.
These people are standing with themselves, and they have the ability of the Dark Star Ring. Those so-called gods should not be able to explore their location.
However, the abnormal light in the sky became difficult to explain, which gave him a headache for a while.
At this time, the surrounding temperature has increased to over sixty degrees. This environment is even higher than the hottest time in the largest desert on Aquamarine. Almost no living things can survive here for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, in the subsequent distance, almost every kilometer of height increase, the temperature of the environment will increase by about ten degrees. By the time everyone reached the top of the mountain, the temperature nearby had almost reached one hundred degrees. .
At this time, even the ninth-level saint is already a little overwhelmed.
It's okay for warriors like Yohad. After all, their physical strength has already exceeded the scope of ordinary people. This temperature is nothing to him. It's just uncomfortable because of the heat.
But a weak mage like McCarvey would have been burned by the high temperature if he hadn't turned on the shield for protection.
"No! It's too hot! I need to take off this damn armor!"
After a while, Yohad couldn't help shouting.
He quickly reached out and took off the epic armor he was equipped with, and then he felt a little better.
The temperature is now almost over 400 degrees, and the speed at which the temperature rises in the following distance is simply shocking.
Zhang Xiaoman gave everyone a set of Corona combat uniforms, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that although the effect of the Corona Combat Suit is good, if a battle breaks out later, this kind of clothing will appear very fragile. It cannot withstand the aftermath of the battle at all and is particularly easy to be damaged.
So this is what Zhang Xiaoman is worried about. If they lose the protection of the Corona combat uniform in that harsh environment later, these people may lose a lot of combat effectiveness in an instant.
"The light above is getting more and more dazzling. What on earth is that?"
Now less than 500 meters from the top, Akatus was covering his forehead with one hand, raising his head with difficulty and looking up at the sky above his head.
"I don't know, it must be some kind of formation. I think it's a trap set by the god of light. These cunning false gods must be afraid, so they use such despicable methods!"
Yohad shouted.
He still firmly believes that all this was given by the God of Light.
Although the others had doubts in their hearts, they more or less had the same idea. After all, according to their thinking logic, the only god who could control the sun's rays was the God of Light.
At this time, the sky was flashing with dazzling white light everywhere. While bringing high temperatures of hundreds of degrees, it also filled the entire sky.
Zhang Xiaoman watched this scene without saying a word, and a somewhat absurd idea gradually became angry in his heart.
"Where...is this place...?"
Now he was also stung by the strong light and couldn't open his eyes, but what he knew was that the real sky could never look like this.
At first, he thought it was like this because of the barrier, but after his perception, he found that there was no dark spiritual power in the surrounding hot light. These temperatures were all real environmental factors.
Now, there was a guess in his mind that made him feel a little unbelievable. If this guess was true, then the truth of this world would be even crueler than everyone imagined at the beginning.
"Look, what is that!"
Regina suddenly pointed to a place on the top of the mountain and shouted.
Everyone heard the sound and looked around, only to see a huge fiery red sphere being loaded into a metal container at the top of the mountain about a few hundred meters away, constantly emitting terrifying heat to the surroundings.
The size of this fireball was at least ten kilometers in diameter, and the container used to carry it was even larger, almost spanning the top of the entire mountain, occupying most of everyone's field of vision.
Previously, because the light reflected from the sky was too dazzling, they could not look directly at this place. Now when the distance was closer, they could see where it was.
"That's... a furnace!?"
Yohad, the dwarf king and senior forging master, immediately recognized the origin of that thing.
"Is that the furnace used by gods to forge artifacts!?"
Zhang Xiaoman's expression froze and his heart thumped.
"Sure enough, things seem to be developing in the worst direction..."
He secretly smiled bitterly. This was not a furnace for forging artifacts. If he guessed correctly, this should be an energy converter for thermal energy reactions.
The reason why the sky is so dazzling is not because of the irradiation of stars, but because of a unique temperature dispersion device that converts the heat of the fireball in the furnace to form large-scale illumination throughout the world.
In other words, the sun he saw in this world before was simply fake, but the huge fireball in front of him!
"The sky is fake, and so are the stars... This is not the surface of a planet at all, this is an underground space!"
Zhang Xiaoman understood instantly.
Now, everything can be explained.
Why did the surrounding temperature rise instead of falling after everyone surpassed the clouds?
Why did the air pressure not decrease, but instead maintained a relatively stable range after rising?
Why is there always a dazzling brilliance in the sky, as if there are a lot of aluminum alloy plates, and the people who are shining can hardly open their eyes.
It turns out that the key to the problem is here. This space is not a planetary boundary at all, but a giant underground cavity!
Zhang Xiaoman sighed secretly.
Although he didn't know what kind of technology the other party used to achieve this, the truth of all this was really too cruel for people in this world.
After looking at the people who were still observing the furnace, he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Telling them now will only increase their worries. Wait until this is over and then explain it to them slowly.
