"Cough cough, cough cough cough... damn it."
Countless falling gravels spread in all directions along with the continuously flying dust, completely submerging the surface of the high platform. Duan Qing, who was blown aside by the air waves, took a long time to get his body out of the rubble. After breaking free, his hard gaze fell on the surface of the rock formation above the high platform: "Can street signs also be used as traps? Your imagination and control over this place seem to be higher than I expected." "
"We have long wanted to experiment with the effects of overloading these magic circuits, but we have never had the chance."
Above the smoke and dust that made it difficult to see, the mysterious voice that came from nowhere was still buzzing back and forth like a fly: "The experiment was suddenly delivered to the door! Hahahahaha!"
"Do you dare to reveal your identity?" So Duan Qing could only shout loudly into the dust and darkness that followed: "Is it the Wings of Freedom? Or the Knights Templar?"
"Huh?" There was a moment of doubt in the buzzing voice: "I thought it was just three tiny ants, but I didn't expect it to be a group of ants who know the secret? Where did you hear these names?"
"Just a random guess."
Understanding that there was no point in hiding, Duan Qing simply stood in the dust and smoke that had not yet dispersed: "I didn't expect that you actually have something to do with them."
"Sometimes it's not a good thing to have a good brain, little guy." There was a sense of disdain in the echoing buzz: "In order to make you shut your mouth, we have to kill you now. Woolen cloth."
"It's like you haven't done anything dirty before." The hidden arm slowly stretched into his arms, and Duan Qing's eyes began to look around: "If it weren't for... ahem... if it weren't for us If we responded in time, this explosion might have killed us."
"Being able to dodge the attack just now is indeed beyond my expectation. After all, I am very satisfied with the effect of the 'overload explosion' just now." The buzzing echo said disdainfully: "But -"
"I'm more interested in how you got here."
The vibrating sound then began to appear on the soles of Duan Qing's feet, and finally turned into a strong vibration that lifted his entire body away: "Where did you break in from?"
An earthy yellow light flashed in front of Duan Qing, forming a rock spike where he had just stood. The attack like earth magic did not end with the disappearance of the magic energy, but appeared instead. It emits a metallic glow that is different from earth magic. The violent vibrations of the floor being lifted up suddenly spread towards Duan Qing's position along with the upward extension of the cold metal. Finally, the torn steel skeleton was completely displayed in front of everyone, like an electric current line. The same magic front flashed on the surface of the steel bar for a moment, turning the iron block that was originally as hard as iron into a soft snake head that swallowed back and forth: "Before you die, answer my last question - —Did you come in through the entrance just now?"
It seems they don't know about the subway train yet.
Such thoughts flashed through Duan Qing's mind, and Duan Qing flew away to avoid the swing of the "snake head" that suddenly stabbed him in front: "I was teleported in, what do you think?"
"Teleportation spell? Impossible."
The metal coiled snake swung rapidly in the air in a huge arc, and then left a deep mark on the surface of the ancient bluestone floor: "There is magic protection around the center, and no teleportation spell can pass through."
"If you want to enter this area, you can only use 'walk'."
Scenes like whipping began to appear in the direction where Duan Qing flew and disappeared again, and at the same time, there was the harsh sound of the metallic light falling to the ground again and again: "Unless...well, Did you activate that thing?"
The voice was blurred in the air for a moment, and seemed to have turned to another direction: "Is it...that...go and see..."
"They don't seem to be able to monitor the operation of the subway."
The voice belonging to the codeword Ninglan then quietly echoed in Duan Qing's ears, like an elf in the night, wandering around vaguely: "But Ninglan didn't find any figures around, nor did he find any enemies. , they should be controlling all this from further away."
"No magic can achieve this level of remote control. They probably used some system or device." Duan Qing, who was rolling back and forth, replied loudly: "If I guessed correctly——"
"It should be the defensive formation we saw outside, right?"
It seems that Duan Qing's question was not heard. The mysterious voice from above did not give his answer for a while. On the dark high platform, there was only the creaking sound of the metal iron block being bent, and its The harsh friction sound the machine made when it hit the ground: "... accidentally... messed up..."
"Go check it out! Now!"
The last roaring sound suddenly became clear, and it seemed that the soul voice from above finally returned to its position. The metal strip that repeated the mechanical attack then had its own soul again, and suddenly it brought the surrounding slate fragments with it. Lifting up suddenly: "Intruder! Accept your fate!"
"Go to hell!"
The mutated buzzing sound turned into a manic shout, and several other metal iron bars rose from the ground and suddenly shot towards Duan Qing's position, leaving no room for dodge in an all-round attack. The metal-colored stormy waves completely submerged the gray-robed magician's location. Instantly appeared in front of the metal frame, and the silhouette belonging to the dark language Ninglan staring ahead also appeared on the periphery of the encirclement. The hands that originally wanted to rescue the next moment were blocked by the appearance of a light blue water curtain. And stopped in mid-air, accompanied by Duan Qing's muffled shout that seemed to come from the depths of the distant water: "...Flowing Water Barrier!"
"Explode the armor!"
The dull sound suddenly turned into a clear roar, with a large amount of water flying around the dim platform. Different from the continuous heavy rain that was falling over Tania, at this time The spreading water has a powerful impact that even the beating of metal cannot resist. The metal and steel that crashed down seemed to be unable to break through the blockage and squeeze of this layer of high-pressure water flow. Finally, under the action of this powerful force, they broke into metal fragments all over the sky. The cracked old iron bars were then mixed with countless shocking things. Incredible magical energy criss-crossed and shot into the depths of the dim high platform space: "What? How is this possible?"
"It's just a flowing water shield. How can it have such a strong physical defense?" The voice floating in the sky was filled with a strong sense of unreality: "What kind of magic are you doing?"
"This is indeed just a water shield." Standing with his hands hanging in the center of the explosion point, the gray-robed magician named Linyuan Duanshui replied with a slightly panting voice: "It's just been slightly strengthened by the magic disc. It’s a little bit of added spice…”
"strengthen?"
"My long-term research is not in vain."
Reaching out to hold up the magician disk in his arms, Duan Qing's eyes roamed back and forth on the aqua-blue brilliance that was constantly flowing on the surface of the disk: "These lines... they are related to the magic circle I am learning. In fact, it has the same effect, as long as some of the points can be properly stimulated, the magical effect it simulates can be enhanced."
"In words that only us adventurers can understand, this is called talent tree enhancement." He stretched out his hand to hold the center of the light that was like a connection between constellations, and then slowly took out one of the faded water magic gems: "I His hand speed is very fast, and it is not difficult to instantly select the two talents of 'Magic Defense Strengthening' and 'Shield Strength Increase', as long as he can figure out the functions of all the nodes on this disk - "
"It is also possible to use the power of explosion to block instantaneous damage."
A serious light flashed in his eyes, and he placed another water magic gem he took out in the center of the disk. Magic light spots like the starry sky suddenly appeared when the gem was connected to the disk. , shining with an extremely bright ice blue light in Duan Qing's hands. The icy blue energy, which was more obvious than before, quickly spread around with Duan Qing as the center, and finally turned into a frozen torrent rushing along the top of the earth-shattered ground. The azure aura also brought with it a visible freezing effect. The special effects covered every inch of the surface of the high platform, completely blocking the metal steel bars that were still twisting around: "The enhanced freezing technique should last for a while."
"You, you don't even think about escaping!" As if giving up the idea of manipulating these metal skeletons, the buzzing voice floating in the sky said angrily: "I will overload all the magic circuits here! You will be buried here forever. In the land!”
"Damn it, keep a straight line when doing things, so we can see each other again in the future." Feeling the vibrations gradually starting to appear around the tunnel, Duan Qing looked up at the sky and asked with disbelief: "Lian Tania's safety, you guys Don’t you care?”
"What does Tania's life and death have to do with us? Wouldn't it be better for them to just be destroyed? Hahahahaha!" He laughed wildly before crushing the insect to death, and the mysterious buzzing sound became excited again: " Rejoice for this, experimental subjects! You will soon be the first fertilizer before Tania's destruction! You - Huh?"
The laughter that gradually became rampant stopped abruptly, and along with it was the scene of strong vibrations all around that suddenly stopped. The stirring magic elements that dispersed in the air gradually became more intense with the appearance of a certain golden light. Calm, and finally gathered around Fula like fish water returning to the sea: "The magic circuits here are very complicated, and it will take a certain amount of time to analyze and understand these magic structures, but since someone is willing to activate them, then naturally I will not let go. Take this chance.”
"Sorry, this area has been taken over by me." She shook off her rich golden hair, and her faint gaze came to the sky above this area: "This gentleman who doesn't know where he came from - this place is no longer here. I need you."
"How, how is it possible? How could you do such a thing? You-"
The wild voice turned into a scream of terror, and then slowly disappeared in the gradually becoming blurry feeling. The golden light surrounding Fulla also slowly disappeared as her long hair fell, and the accompanying There was also the pair of hands pressed against the wall that she withdrew: "It seems that the sound transmission system has also been cut off... Hmm."
"The signal of magic seems to be coming from that direction." Ignoring the shocked looks from Duan Qing and Duan Qing behind her, she stretched out her finger pointing in a certain direction: "That should be where these humble ants are hiding. place."
"Then, um...don't you plan to go to that place?"
Watching the other party start to walk slowly in the other direction, Duan Qing, who hurriedly followed, put away the disk in his hand: "This seems to be the opposite of the position you just found, right?"
"They are not the targets I am looking for. What does their life and death have to do with me?" Looking back at Duan Qing's face, Fula's extremely noble and beautiful face remained as calm as ever: "As long as she doesn't do anything excessive. , do you care about a group of ants jumping around at your feet?"
"This, this..." Duan Qing opened his mouth speechlessly: "Okay, the series of attacks just now may not be able to enter your eyes, but -"
"As long as it can be proven that their existence is related to your search goal, you should agree with our proposal, right?"
Duan Qing said this on behalf of Duan Qing. The person who was guarding the side, Ningyu Ninglan, walked forward in two steps. She looked at the face of the dragon lady with extremely serious eyes. After a while, she pointed behind her in the direction they came from and said : "Judging from what the mysterious man just said, he and the organization behind him obviously know the existence of that train. They may have just sent people to trace it in the direction of the train we just took."
"They must know about those dragon monsters." The player dressed as a maid then squatted down, as if feeling some kind of shock approaching: "A person has been hiding here for a long time, and knows about the existence of those dragon monsters." organizations, it is difficult to conclude that there is no connection between them.”
"..."
As if she was thinking about whether what Ningyu Ninglan said was correct or not, Fula stared at her and Duan Qing's faces with a fixed gaze. Her golden pupils, which seemed to have no pupils, moved slightly after a while. , gradually walking towards the direction she pointed before: "That makes sense."
"Then catch these ants first, and then ask them."
