In the First World, halfway up an unnamed Atlas Mountains, Priest carefully and carefully retracted it into the carrying compartment behind the armor after his routine debriefing to the transmitter.

"There's no need to be so nervous, Captain."

On the side, the alchemist, who had been watching Priest's report, saw that the other party was cautious, as if he was holding an egg, and couldn't help but laugh easily: "Didn't we test the sturdiness of the transmitter, this thing will not break if it can block the knight's full force." ”

"Idiot, not to mention that there are many stronger beings than knights, the transmitter is the only channel we can use to connect with the mother world!"

Priest expressed his sorrow at the indecent attitude of his teammates: "If this thing breaks, we can't even ask for help in an accident - not to mention this, is the acid resistance potion ready?" ”

As he spoke, Priest greeted the mage and others who were still using various means to detect the surrounding environment not far away, signaling that he had finished reporting and could prepare to gather for the next move, and the alchemist also skillfully took out five light green potions in crystal vials and handed one to Priest.

"Fortunately, I exchanged the heart of Xudra some time ago, not only is it resistant to this acidic environment, but the speed of configuring potions with similar attributes is also nearly doubled."

"It's better to use less of this kind of Warcraft organ transformation."

Priest nodded undeniably, he took the pale green potion, and then a pure white flame lit up in his hand—it was the light of Douqi—and the Dou Qi burned along the outer wall of the magic armor, sweeping away the heavy metals and acids in the air, creating a pure environment in Priest's arm.

And the next moment, as a piece of armor bounced, a groove with a needle appeared in the arm of the magic armor, Priest inserted the crystal vial into the groove without changing his face, and he could see the pale green liquid descending at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a fluorescent green light filled his whole body, forming a repulsive force, discharging all the surrounding acid.

The original magic potions in the world of Microve are all oral types, using digestive organs to carry out magic reactions, not to mention the low efficiency of this absorption method, and the onset of action is relatively slow, with the development of technology, now all the staff of the Department of External Exploration have begun to use the injection type of potions, in addition to the fast onset of action and high utilization rate, it can also be used in an environment that is so bad that you can't even open your mouth.

Of course, if the world you are in is too bad, for example, the potion will boil as soon as it is taken out, or if it is frozen, even if you inject it, you will not be able to return to the sky, so you can only admit it.

And now the No. 1 world where Priest and the others are located is a different world that is barely too bad, but it is by no means pleasant.

Priest watched his teammates assemble, then took the potion from the alchemist in turn, and injected himself, he raised his head, looked at the gray-white metallic snow and misty acid mist floating in the sky, and shook his head in a low voice: "It's like being cast by someone to cast an acid cloud spell that envelops the world, and it is also attacked by dozens of extreme will-level magic 'Earth Flame Explosion' at any time." ”

Because the geothermal heat is directly conducted to the ground, the surface temperature of the No. 1 world exceeds 400 degrees, and the heat of high-intensity inorganic acid mixed with heavy metal mist is transpired to the high altitude - but also because there is no sun, at an altitude of about 1,000 meters, these high-heat metal acid mist will cool into snow and fall to the ground, and the temperature difference between up and down is even close to 500 degrees.

"So, it's amazing, different worlds."

On the side, the mage who had finished injecting the resistance potion sighed: "That's why I decided not to study in the Guantian White Tower, but chose to study in the Exploration Department, the world environment in this extreme environment, as long as you see it once, you will never lose!" ”

"You may not lose, but the Empire is definitely blood-earned—all right, get in the car."

Before the mage could continue to sigh, on a fairly flat platform on the mountainside, the knight had already unfolded his equipment - a four-wheeled off-road vehicle with a simple and seemingly fragile structure, but in fact the key structure was made of pure gold. He beckoned Priest and the mage and the others to come over, and everyone boarded the otherworldly vehicle.

The car has three rows, the first row is actually driving, the mage sits in the middle, holding up the shield, while the priest sits in the front seat using the holy light, and the priest sits in the back seat with the alchemist, using the detection instrument to observe the surroundings.

"Let's go!"

After confirming that everyone was in their place, the tall knight suddenly showed a smile of 'I had wanted to do this for a long time', and he stepped on the magic door hard - and suddenly, the four wheels of the off-road vehicle that were originally vertical immediately rotated and deformed, turning into a wheel-sided, rotor-like structure!

Buzzing! A quick but slight humming sound, accompanied by a strong wind mixed with a jet of magic, the 'dirt bike' flew like this!

"A driver who doesn't want to drive a flying car is not a good rider!" A knight who had never touched a horse in his life laughed, and then drove the speeding car that had been suspended for nearly ten meters and sped forward, if you looked from the air, you could see an oval point of light with a magical shield flying in a straight line, rapidly towards the edge of the Otherworldly Mountain Range.

"Don't forget our mission! The goal of this operation is to find the existence of a unified large information base——! ”

Priest in the back row was afraid that the knight would start racing in the other world, so he hurriedly reminded: "Let's go to the area where the geological changes are relatively peaceful to collect magic radiation, don't mess around!" ”

"Don't worry, it's just a rare practice, it's just a little exciting."

Indeed, although the knight's car drove fast, it did follow the instructions of Priest and the others, heading towards the area with fewer volcanoes and earth cracks, and soon, after about an hour and a half of high-speed travel, when the energy reserves of the flying car were about to be exhausted, the group that had left the Otherworldly Mountains for nearly two hundred kilometers came to a gentle metal plain.

Because there is no surrounding volcanic eruption, there are no metal clouds to cover the sky, after making sure that there is no danger in the surrounding area, everyone skillfully got out of the car, and then began to set up some more important exploration equipment on the plain, and began to collect all the magic fluctuations around on a large scale.

The process of collecting and screening valuable information was boring and boring, and several hours passed in a blink of an eye, but the elite team had already been tempered countless times, and they didn't feel any hardship, and soon, after collecting the surrounding magic radiation information, the mage came to Priest's side with a frown with a magic group containing a large amount of data: "Captain, I didn't find any abnormal magic radiation on the surface...... Aside from the high-energy reactions brought about by volcanic eruptions and underground lava, there are only a few fluctuations in the terroir contained in the heavy metal acid cloud cycle in this world. ”

"Not on the surface? Does it mean that there is something in the sky? ”

As soon as Priest heard this, he knew that his teammate had something to say, and the mage nodded, his brows furrowed, and his expression was serious: "That's true...... There is no sun or stars in this world, so there are no noisy magic fluctuations, so that anomalous radiation in the sky is especially noticeable. ”

Speaking of which, without the mage continuing to speak, the others also understood, and the five members of the elite team raised their heads in unison, looked at the 'Dark Rainbow' that had been rising and setting in the sky for a week, and then fell silent.

"I said, could it be that rainbow in the sky that is the 'information base' that Lord Earl is looking for?"

The knight was straightforward and directly said everyone's suspicions, and in this regard, Priest could only nod: "Very likely...... Use Aerial Detection. ”

Since the target is not on the surface, this is the only way, and after a while, everyone chooses a flat metal floor, and then begins to pull out various parts from the package, and begin to assemble a strangely shaped magic machine.

Although it is said to be a strange shape, if any earthlings see this scene, they can easily find that what Priest and others assembled is a pocket-sized rocket! However, this rocket is not made using technology, and its appearance is engraved with various sacred light runes, in other words, it is a holy light rocket.

The use of holy light as the power source of the miniature high-altitude detection rocket is the best choice confirmed by Joshua after many tests - although it is said that the holy light is not as explosive as the fighting energy, nor is it as malleable as the magic power, but compared to the fighting energy, the holy light is more durable, compared to the magic power, the holy light is more stable, in the different worlds, only the holy light is more universal, but because of this, it does not have any special effects.

Ten minutes later, with a dazzling burst of holy light, the Holy Light Rocket carrying the high-altitude detection magic weapon rose into the air in a blazing white pillar of light, and the rocket could be seen separating one by one, sending the topmost detection magic weapon into the sky.

After the estimated time was almost there, Priest, who was in control, decisively answered the signal, giving way to a scene with snowflakes in the control light curtain on the surface, and the other four members of the exploration team stood behind Priest, holding their breath, waiting for the results sent back by the detector.

However, the result left them puzzled.

"What's going on, why is it still dark?"

The alchemist looked at the flickering snowflake screen in the light curtain, and the pitch-black scene behind the snowflake screen, and couldn't help but wonder: "This is already 10,000 meters in the air - and even rising, and it can't even touch the dark rainbow?" ”

"yes, and the size of that dark rainbow hasn't changed at all."

The mage was a little incredulous, and he said softly, "The high-altitude probe has risen to an altitude of 20,000 meters—the gravity here is relatively low, and the propulsion speed is faster than we thought—but the size has not changed, which means that." ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head: "The distance to explain the target is much farther than we imagined." ”

Priest didn't join the increasingly heated discussion among the team members on the side, he just stared at the various data fed back from the light curtain - at this time, the high-altitude detection magic weapon had risen to an altitude of nearly 30,000 meters, which was originally impossible, because according to Microf's standard power, the magic weapon would be captured by gravity and fall back to the earth due to lack of power when it rose to a height of about 10,000 meters.

But now...... Because the dark rainbow was above their heads at this time, the detection magic weapon located in the sky actually got rid of the gravitational pull of the earth in an instant, entered a weightless state, and then flew directly towards the rainbow that shone with colorful brilliance!

“…… Can't pull it back. ”

Priest entered the regression command several times in a row, but the distance was too far, and the adder was completely weightless, so it had no effect at all, and he could only helplessly watch the camera gradually become blurry in the process of flying towards the rainbow, he and his teammates looked at each other, and could only sigh and laugh at himself: "At least the magic weapon is still working - maybe it will be able to get close to that rainbow in a few days?" ”

In the final analysis, this small setback is not a big deal, it is just a loss of a high-altitude detection magic weapon, Priest and the others have long been mentally prepared, after all, this is an alien world, no matter what happens, it is not unusual.

But just as the elite team and the others began to prepare to set up camp on the metal plain, preparing to explore and collect data in more depth in World One the next day, they were completely out of control, and there was a strange change in the footage of the high-altitude detection circle flying towards the depths of dark deep space.

In the shadows of no sun, in the darkness of darkness, there is a misty and illusory 'black mist' passing from the front of the camera...... It also seemed to want to approach the dark rainbow in the distance, but it seemed to be worried about something, and never dared to approach.

And this scene, no one noticed.

On the other side, the world of Karlis.

Continuing to observe the light curtain for the whole night, even if the entire silver goblin community was asleep, Joshua and Karlis, who were still watching, were still in high spirits.

"A barren world is a barren world, and there is really nothing to be gained."

At this time, Joshua was holding a light curtain in his hand, which recorded all the detection results of the world where the eight exploration teams were located, and above, the worlds of No. 2, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6 and No. 8, were completely barren worlds, without anything of value, and they all had a red cross on their backs. Only the three worlds of One, Three and Seven are circled by red brushstrokes.

Joshua looked at the information of these three worlds and muttered, "Except for the No. 1 and No. 3 worlds that may have clues to the information base, only the water-rich world of No. 7 is worth mentioning...... This plane, which is almost entirely composed of oceans, seems to have no core of metal and rocks at all, and is a real super water world. ”

This is completely opposite to the world of Kronos, which has completely evaporated from the ocean, that is, the hometown of the dragon girl Lisa, Joshua feels that there is a lot of room for maneuver, maybe in the future he can consider trying to open a temporary portal so that the resources of the two worlds can be exchanged.

Needless to say, the metal-rich world can be used as a mineral base, but I don't know how many valuable ore veins there are, whether it is worth opening a permanent portal to connect, other barren worlds are really too barren, but the ice world is worth mentioning - after all, it can be made into an eternal cold air storehouse. The world is in absolute cold, and it is very difficult to find such a large refrigerator.

"This ocean world is very similar to the 'Abyss Realm' that your Microf World connected back then. It's the mother world of those Abyss Demon Dragons. ”

On the side, the Steel Python stared at the information of the Water World, and it nodded slightly: "However, the Abyss Realm has been determined to be destroyed, and this world is obviously recovering itself, and even giving birth to basic life, it should be that the impact was not big at the beginning, so it has been relieved." ”

"Yes, Kuro should like it, it's all a world of water, and even dragons can move freely."

Joshua didn't really care about it at first, but after thinking about it, he suddenly nodded and said, "Next time I have a chance, I can go over and play - this world is indeed quite interesting." ”

After all, even he couldn't create all kinds of substances and raw materials out of thin air, if Joshua wanted to ignite the furnace of the heart of the melt, he would naturally need a lot of raw material elements, and it would be bad for the local environment to absorb water from the old and dazed sea, but if it was a water world composed entirely of sea, then it should be no problem to take a little water.

The taste of those bonanza worlds should also be good, and it can be relatively easy to supplement the intake of metal elements...... Just as Joshua was thinking about the replenishment of resources in the future, among the eight light curtains suspended in front of him, another one suddenly changed, which immediately interrupted the warrior's train of thought, making him raise his head and look at the changed screen.

"It's World Three."

After seeing the world number, Joshua couldn't help but lift his spirits, and looked at the record from the light curtain seriously—after all, this may be the world where the big information base is located, and it must be carefully examined.

But what he saw was a detailed analysis report of the local special metal particles passed back by the No. 3 World Exploration Team.

This may be more valuable to the Empire or the McCrove world, but for Joshua who only needs raw materials, it is meaningless, but out of basic responsibility, Joshua still read this report carefully, and then ...... He froze.

"What's wrong, Joshua?"

Karlis, who was watching the unfortunate exploration team of the No. 5 Icy World struggling to survive in the minus 100 degrees of temperature, noticed that Joshua suddenly stopped chatting with him. In this regard, it turned its head to look at the warrior in confusion, and at this moment, Joshua suddenly stood up from his seat, he picked up the report with his left hand, stretched out his right hand, and in the palm of the warrior's right hand, the power of steel was surging, and he was recovering the material on a microscopic level according to the data transmitted back by the third world exploration team.

"It's so similar!"

Joshua stared at the report in front of him, and he muttered in a low voice, "It's almost exactly the same - but it's not sure yet, the data isn't detailed enough!" ”

The substance in the palm of Joshua's right hand had roughly condensed, it was a small mass of loose dust, but Karlis couldn't see what it was, and the only thing that Steelpython was certain of was that it was not something that could be formed by the normal evolution of the world.

At this moment, Joshua closed his eyes, and a gray-silver light began to flow on the surface of his body, and he began to mobilize the power of steel with all his strength, crossing the almost infinite distance of the multiverse, directly resonating with the repair pillar of light in the package of the exploration team located in the third world of the Dark Realm!

Dark Realm, World No. 3.

At this time, the third team was driving an off-road vehicle on the desert plain composed entirely of metal particles, and they were collecting data about the surrounding environment, and planned to find a relatively solid flat rock ground to camp on.

However, with a flash of silver brilliance, the captain of the third team let out an exclamation - because the armor compartment behind his magic armor suddenly burst open, and a silver pillar of light flew out with him, falling heavily to the ground, and suddenly, the off-road vehicle driving at full speed immediately turned back, ready to recover the materials of the exploration team that accidentally fell and his own captain.

Then everyone found out that what was left behind was actually the repair light pillar that they had complained about before, and this repair light pillar had opened itself and was now erected directly on top of the metal desert.

"What's going on? How did this repair pillar open on its own? ”

The leader of the third squad was supported by the mage, and he stood up from the metal gravel in a drowsy state, he looked up, looked at the repair pillar of light, and complained a little inexplicably: "Is it possible, we got an inferior product?" Startled me, I thought I had been attacked by something. ”

"It's supposed to be an experiment, isn't it normal for something to have an accident?"

On the side, the mage of the third squad comforted: "The earth refining gold master over there will explode every time he makes a new invention, as long as you have seen it, you will know that it is 100% of the problem that the test product has an accident, and sooner or later you will get used to it." ”

"Goblins, it's shocking – I know that, of course, but it's from Moldavia...... That's it. ”

At this point, the captain saw that the rest of his teammates had already gotten out of the car and approached the location of the repair pillar, and he couldn't help but sigh and said, "This place is pretty much the same—I guess we're still some distance from the edge of this metal desert, so let's set up camp here." ”

To be honest, just as their third team conducted their second high-altitude reconnaissance, everyone discovered that this metal desert was most likely not the remnants of some high-level magical creation...... Because it was so big—a vast area of 20,000 square kilometers was full of such metal deserts, and its reserves were so large that everyone almost thought that the instrument was broken.

But the instrument wasn't broken, what they saw was real, and the metal desert was so big. If this desert was really the remains of some magical creation, then this magical creation was tens of thousands of meters tall and the size of an entire imperial province.

Soon, Team 3 set up camp around the self-activated repair pillar, and they began to check what was wrong with the pillar...... Naturally, no one can check whether it is good or bad, and can only lament that they are unlucky, and they encounter an accident that may not be one in ten thousand.

And the other time of the world, the world of Karlis.

Joshua, who activated the Repair Light Pillar and used it to directly swallow a small piece of metal particles into his body for analysis, opened his eyes wide, and he replied in a low voice from the distance of the Endless Void: "No, this is indeed the remains of a high-level magical creation - but it is not made of some huge object to disintegrate!" ”

"On the contrary, these particles are large waste particles formed by the condensation of the remains of countless smaller creations!"

When he said this, the warrior's tone was extremely conclusive, he raised his right hand, and looked at the palm of his right hand, which was rapidly perfecting the otherworldly matter according to the analysis data—he could see that a large area of dusty metal particles rose into the air under the incomparably strong electromagnetic force, and it turned into a large misty black mist, suspended at Joshua's side, and turned into a layer of hazy gaseous armor!

"This is the 'corpse' of the black mist!"

After finishing speaking, the warrior clenched his right fist, and suddenly this layer of black mist all returned to his palm, and then condensed into thousands of incomparably tiny dust and particles, and its form completely turned into the appearance of those metal particles in the third world as Joshua accelerated over time!

Yes, those metal particle deserts that occupy at least tens of thousands of square kilometers are the abandoned black fog wreckage!

On the other side, Karlis didn't know why the warrior was so serious, but it could also see that Joshua was thinking about some extremely important questions at this time, so the steel python coiled to the side, watching the other party carefully flip through the report transmitted by the Third World again.

"More than 10,000 meters of high-altitude observations, more than 20,000 square kilometers of vast area are such metal deserts, and they can't even detect the thickness of the metal desert, which means that it is 800 meters deep, to say the least."

At least, 20,000 square kilometers and 800 meters deep metal particles...... That's hundreds of billions of tons of mass! Even if his current body descended, it was only like this, and the corpses piled up here by the black mist at least had this weight, it could only be more, it could never be less!

Joshua's eyes were solemn, he raised his head, looked at the light curtain of the third world, and muttered: "In this way, the high magic power that is eleven times higher than the normal world can also be explained - the black fog itself carries a lot of magic power, if it is said that a few black fog clouds that have absorbed full energy in the Void Vortex have crashed into this world, it is not surprising that dozens of times!" ”

"But the question is, why is the black fog damaged?" Joshua couldn't figure out this problem, it was in the world of Chronos at the beginning, but with Gu Long, Barnier and William, the four legends fought together, and then they simply extinguished the black fog, although he could fight alone, but he couldn't stop the other party from destroying the world environment.

So powerful, it could even protect the Alpha Shelter from the hands of the evil gods, how could the black mist, which was the highest level of the sanctuary civilization, fall in large swaths in this inconspicuous dark realm world? Legendary high-level magic weapons can be cut like grass, how dangerous is that world?

At this moment, Joshua immediately decided to immediately recall the exploration team located in the third world - he did it when he thought of it, he gathered his spirit, created a communication magic weapon in his hand, contacted the Grantsea in the void, and prepared to ask the empire to officially end the mission of the third team.

And right now.

In World One, the high-altitude detection camera released by the elite team is rapidly flying towards the dark depths of the sky.

You can see that the rainbow that surrounds the darkness is flickering in the depths of the lightless sky, it wraps the darkness that cannot see the entity, extinguishes all light, spins and jumps rapidly, it releases a circle of spectacular waves that the human eye cannot see at all, as if it is dancing in the void

This is the 'dance' that even the sky, the earth, and even the stars will tremble with.
