"What should we do, Captain? They don't seem to be coming this way. Our previous arrangement——"
"...The president mentioned this situation before and didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but I didn't expect that such an accident would actually happen in the end - tsk, in that case, let's just implement plan B."
"Immediately implement Plan B? Isn't that a backup plan originally prepared in case the original plan fails? And our people are not fully in place yet—"
"What the hell are you still dreaming about? That's the Sky-Breaking Blade! Now let alone the original plan, even if it's Plan B, how confident can you and I be when we're completely unprepared? ? If you’re not in position, find a way to get there! Use teleportation! Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
As time goes by, the dark commotion unfolds in the corner of this stone forest. On the surface, it still looks calm, but no matter how fast and invisible they are, this "confluence" is still reaching its end. Duan Qing noticed it at the moment before - a dim light flashed in his eyes. The gray-robed magician then waved his hand and scattered several rays of light around the team. The magic light that originally bloomed was in the land under his feet. Under the restraints, it only shook twice before it instantly weakened: "——Hey, be careful."
"Is someone coming?" As everyone hurriedly formed a defensive formation, Asahi Dongsheng, who was originally responsible for opening the road and keeping sentry, was the first to ask: "Where is it? Why didn't I notice it?"
"I didn't notice it either, but the air nearby is talking to me." In the team that had completely stopped, Duan Qing, holding the elemental staff, kept looking around the dissipating magic in his hand: " They're just staring at us like monsters crawling in the bushes."
"Didn't we find nothing abnormal before? We didn't encounter any obstruction or tracking along the way." Gedman, who was blocking the front, held up his shield and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Has the detection magic that we don’t know about discovered our whereabouts? Or is the Lotu from before finally coming back and preparing to take action?”
"It's the ley line."
Looking back at Duan Qing's face, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was in the formation, read out his answer in a low voice: "Ever since I entered this emerald forest, my perception has always felt awkward. Originally, I thought It's because of the disorder of the earth's veins that you said, but now it seems——"
"This should be an imaginary simulation prototype they cast on this land by imitating the land veins of the Wind Continent." Duan Qing frowned and replied: "When we used the floating island to attack the sacred mountain, we once I have seen this phenomenon before, but I didn’t expect that they would take advantage of it and come here.”
"If they can really reproduce to that extent——"
Clang!
Before he finished speaking, a harsh knock from the front of the team broke out in the biting cold wind. A blurry figure under the dim light was also completely destroyed by Gedman's backhand sword after pressing the shield. The exposed figure appeared instantly like a summoned figure that had just been projected here: "Here it comes!"
"In other words, those guys who were stationed in the Holy Mountain at that time are now finally colluding with the Wings of Freedom here?"
The black figures appearing here silently began to become more and more numerous. These guys, who seemed to have descended from the sky, also wielded their swords and guns and silently attacked them. Duan Qing, who had to deal with attacks from all directions, then also swung his weapons. He picked up his elemental staff, and the head of the staff collided with the spear closest to him first: "And they are technically complicit."
"They were originally a group. You didn't wake up just now, did you?" The tip of the spear was then heavily knocked away by the white sword that Xue Ling Huanbing swung at random. The white-haired female swordsman then stretched out her backhand, Gu Zhuo The tip of the big sword instantly tore the body of a thief who was attacking from the side from the dark: "Although it looks very desperate, if the opportunity to preemptively attack is lost, the threat will still be reduced by more than half."
"Are you sure you didn't become stronger yourself?" Duan Qing whistled unconsciously as he watched Xue Ling Huan Bing's subsequent swords force several other enemy players back.
Dealing with these ambush troops that suddenly appeared should be within the range that we can handle easily, right? "
"But since they chose to take action here, they must have made complete preparations." Mephisto, who was on the flank of the team, reminded: "No matter what, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time."
"Should we look for an opportunity to break the siege?"
As he said these words, several dark magical radiances under his hands instantly enveloped the heads of the players facing him. The movements and postures of the players entangled by these dark magical radiances obviously slowed down. Even the sword that struck Sansheng Yutang seemed much softer: "I didn't expect it! This is a master-level power curse!"
"Darkness breaks out!"
Endless darkness then emerged from under his feet, and the ominous wind also forced all the players on this side to retreat. The screams one after another also spread outward along the direction of the dark wind, and joined with the other players. The fighting state of Xi, who was still dealing with ambush and siege, was in sharp contrast: "——Haha! Quick! Go this way!"
"Is it really appropriate to go this way? The previous path was the one you chose!" Asahi Dongsheng's questioning voice immediately sounded in the team: "And this direction - isn't this the plain in the forest that we wanted to avoid before?"
"Perhaps they are deliberately trying to give us a loophole."
Squinting at the large open space with no stone pillars in front of him, Duan Qing put away the magic he was preparing and brewing: "Including this ambush, if they had discovered our whereabouts before, why? You want to deliberately choose this time to attack us? It seems that there are many people, but they still don’t match our strength.”
"They must have something up their sleeve."
With a backhand sword, he protected the figure of the gray-robed magician who was meditating on his forehead behind him. Xueling Huanbing drove another enemy figure who was waiting for an opportunity to attack to the outside: "Simply speaking, this should be done deliberately. The trap—should we continue?”
"This is the road that our allies have worked hard to open up for us, why don't you go?" Duan Qing glanced at the other people in the team first, and then moved towards Mephisto and Sansheng Fish Pond, who had already started to move forward. Pointing from behind, "We can't abandon our allies. This is not in line with our aesthetics."
"Still aesthetic? You just don't want to admit it." As expected, his pretentious words received expressionless objections from Goldman: "I believed the origins and intentions of these two people so easily before, but now it's hard to step down and end it. right?"
"What are you saying? How bad it is for your teammates to hear it." Signaling Xue Ling Huan Bing to follow first, Duan Qing took Nina's hand and started to move forward: "Since you have chosen to believe, you must believe it to the end."
"I'll place my bet first as a courtesy."
Regardless of whether Mephisto and Sansheng Yutang could hear the conversation here, the gray-robed magician was already walking toward the plains on the path they opened, and ambushers were still emerging from all over the stone forest. They were also attacking their defense line like a swarming tide, and the momentum to prevent them from leaving became more and more urgent. Once again shouldering the task of cutting off the rear, Gedman, who was guarding the rear of the team, then pursed his lips and directed the Asahi Dongsheng's coordination method. At this time, the two players, one sword and one shield, also used the skills they had used for many days. They cooperated tacitly and used a variety of chain moves to resolve the offensive that tried to stop the two of them: "Earthquake Slash!"
"Go away! Let me stop them!"
"Stop talking nonsense, it's better to have two moves per person. The next one is 'Whirlwind Dance, right? Remember not to go in the wrong direction!"
"How long have you been asking for so much? Be careful if I make a mistake and send you back to the city - oops!"
I don't know whether it was a real mistake or the crow's mouth was at work. Asahi Dongsheng's first step in the forward whirlwind was completely destroyed by a rock under his feet. Sensing something bad, Goldman's original retreating steps Then it was changed to move forward, and the sword that was supposed to be blocked by Asahi Dongsheng in front of him also narrowly missed the surface of his back armor: "—Sliding step!"
With the impact of inertia, the arc cut by the cold front of the sword tip was cut. The heavy body of the big shield warrior turned a complete 360 degrees with a gyro-like momentum, and the folded shield was also in his whirlwind. With such steps, he replaced the long sword in his right hand. The metal sword body collided with the next tomahawk that fell in front of him: "——Charge!"
"Two consecutive cuts!"
The blade of the sword, covered with all kinds of serrations and parts, turned red as if cast at this moment. Two perfect diagonal lines were drawn in front of Gedman's waving right arm, and a crisp sound followed him. The swings of the sword sounded continuously in front. First, a sword hit the face of the battle ax in front of him, and then slashed towards the opponent's chest along the angle from which the ax handle extended: "——What a sword!"
In the scene where the opponent screamed and retreated, Duan Qing's praise followed by the falling boulder appeared next to Gedman. The big shield warrior took a deep breath and let out the stiffness caused by the charged attack. state, and then continued to roll forward under the cover of this falling stone magic: "That's it for the rear! Run, run!"
"Hey, hey! Don't leave me!" The voice of Rising Sun came from behind him. Gedman, who had already climbed up, looked back and saw that he was holding a long knife and had just turned over the magic spell. Blocked by the boulder, it rolled to the ground in an extremely embarrassing manner: "Ouch, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"
His words paused for a moment, and after noticing this abnormality, Gedman looked forward again. The gray-robed figure who had just released the aid magic seemed to have never appeared before, along with several other teammates. The figure disappeared together: "Huh? Where is the person?"
"Damn it, couldn't you have used some kind of teleportation magic and invisibility magic?" Immediately behind him, Asahi Dongsheng yelled and cursed: "You ran away without taking us two with you? Are you still considered human?"
"Can you blame others for this situation caused by your own mistakes?" Gedman retorted angrily: "Stop selling flaws! Follow up quickly!"
"Follow me? Where are you following? They are all gone!"
"Where else can I follow?"
His voice became like a muffled roar under the exertion of force, and the armor of the big shield warrior running in front made a clanging sound with his sudden leap: "Of course -"
"Follow me!"
The heavy and strong body passed through the edge of the last stone pillar and spread out in the shape of a large character in front of the boundary of the plain under the dusky sky. The next moment, the word "big" seemed to pass through some invisible background curtain. It disappeared from head to toe in a horizontal flight. Everything in front of him also changed drastically. Without enough time to react, Goldman instantly fell to the ground without even shouting out. After rolling a few times in pain, he then turned around with difficulty and raised his head, only to see nothingness. There was only one person, only the green stone pillars standing vaguely around, but none of the original ambush and chasing crowd could be seen: "What is going on - oops!"
The "background" reflecting the emerald stone pillars once again rippled violently, sending the scene of Chao Ri Dongsheng rushing toward Goldman in front of Gedman. The two of them then bumped into each other firmly, each holding his hands. My mouth and nose didn't come back to reality for a long time: "Ouch, oh, oh, oh... you, you, you, you, what's going on, you! Is there anyone in front of you?"
"How do I know... Ouch... How do I know you are at this location? I see you suddenly disappeared, I must come over to check on the situation... Oh my god, 15% of my health has been lost!"
"If you use more force, I might be hit to death by you. I lost a lot of my blood when I cut off my back just now... Wait, what on earth is going on? What on earth is here -"
"As you can see, this is also part of the barrier."
The two people's cries of pain stopped at the same time, and Duan Qing's voice sounded in his ears at the same time. The gray-robed magician not far away from the two of them seemed to have known that this kind of thing would happen. Stopping and standing not far away from them: "When we first passed through the Emerald Forest before, the light and shadow information in the barrier was also replaced by the illusion of the outer layer. This principle is true in this area.
Domain is practiced again - ah. "
The words paused at this moment, and the two people also raised their heads at the same time following Duan Qing's deliberate prompts. A darker black color, deeper than the previous hazy yellow sky, was now shrouded in the sky above their heads, and the black clouds pressed down on the city. Standing in the middle is a broken tower extending straight upward between the ruins and the gurgling water: "The premise is——"
"This place can still be called a plain."
