Chapter Twenty-Five: A Different World Full of Secrets 7200

Worst!

When he heard the spiritual voice that reached his heart, even the five people present didn't hear what it said clearly, and his heart suddenly felt bad.

Explore the Atlas for five extremely dangerous anomalous signs—eerie broken ruins, conspicuous ancient ruins, frequent energy fluctuations, abrupt increases and disappears, and finally, the voice of the heart of unknown origin.

Not to mention the first four - the existence that can forcibly break through the self-protection will of intelligent life and directly instill information into the other party's brain, either has extremely advanced research in the mind, or the strength is at least a few realms higher than the explorer, if the explorer who hears the voice of the heart has no means to deal with it, most of them are more than lucky, and even the soul cannot be saved.

"Beware, this should be an automatic defense measure for the ruins of an ancient civilization!"

When the unknown being said 'activate automatic defenses', Priest, who reacted, immediately yelled and turned and ran decisively.

But now, the violent energy flow is like a whirlpool, converging at the top of this unknown mountain peak, and the free energy in the air is plundered, and even forming an energy vacuum, Priest immediately senses that the magic armor on his body has lost all power, the engine has turned off, and the energy pool is empty, and it has now not only failed to provide itself with additional strength bonuses, but has become a heavy burden.

So in the next moment, he directly activated the exit device, using the pure mechanical power built into the armor to catapult himself violently, and then escaped from the metal area as fast as he could.

Click, click, click! The sound of four consecutive exit device activations sounded, and the other four members of the elite team also did not hesitate to get out, and the five people immediately turned around without any communication, and ran and even flew in five completely different directions, reducing the chance of being caught as much as possible.

But can it be so easy to run away?

"—Begin the implementation of the full purification protocol."

As soon as the words fell, an unknown existence calling itself 'Akralfa Hub' launched an attack in a hurry.

I saw that in the next moment, with a faint wave of time and space fluctuations, everyone who had already run thousands of meters away in just a few seconds returned to the original point in an instant—the five humans who had taken off their magic armor were stacked together like garbage placed indiscriminately, forming a pile, and everyone's eyes were full of confusion.

How...... How did you come back again?

Just as Priest quickly figured out that this was probably some kind of extremely advanced and exquisite teleportation spell, the attack of the Akralfa Nexus was ready.

On the top of the mountain, the surging energy condensed into a substance, and between breaths, a dark blue pulse of light appeared in the air like a nova, surrounded by tens of thousands of different colors of energy radiation, forming a brilliant brilliance far more brilliant than all gemstone facets, but under this beautiful light, there is a high-energy magic flow that can turn all material existence into nothingness.

"Oops, the shield is not there...... But try it anyway."

At this time, Priest still had no intention of giving up resistance, he was at the top of the pile, so he could get up immediately as soon as he turned over, and the young warrior stood in front of his teammates, forcibly mobilizing the fighting energy in his body, and building a fighting spirit shield in front of him as quickly as possible - but Priest himself knew that without a physical shield as the main body, no matter how strong his fighting spirit was, it would never be possible to block the blow that gathered all the free energy within a radius of several kilometers around.

"It's over, my life is ......" Behind Priest, the mage's eyes seemed to have begun to appear, he originally wanted to bless his captain with a few spells, but in this energy vacuum area, as soon as his magic appeared, it was immediately shattered and sucked away by the surging energy stream, and no spells could be released.

"Damn, I've already thought of a very handsome epitaph, and I don't need it now!" The alchemist was crushed to the bottom of the pile, and the demonic beast organs on his body could not exert any strength because of the lack of magic power, and he complained bitterly: "I want to be buried on a cliff surrounded by the sea on three sides——"

"Am I going to be burned to ashes with this crow's beak and the reformer?!" The priest who was crushed by the knight was already in despair, but when he thought of his fate being so miserable, he suddenly became furious: "Never! Saying that, he actually burst out with a power far superior to that of the ordinary golden primary rank, and it was a breakthrough in the formation, temporarily advancing! I saw that the surging holy light and Priest's fighting qi were mixed together, condensing into a brilliant light golden giant shield.

The knight, who was shot away by the sudden burst of holy light from the cleric, muttered inarticulate in midair, "I think we can still salvage ......"

Just when everything was chaotic, it looked as if the team of five was about to come face to face with the terrifying-looking pulsing nova.

The condensed magical light in mid-air suddenly dimmed.

The stream of destructive energy that is about to be launched dissipates.

The Plunder frenzy, which forcibly loots all surrounding energies, also ends directly at the same time.

The elite squad, ready to burn the last spark of life, looked up at the top of the mountain blankly, but never waited for the attack or death to come.

However, they heard a voice that was as cold and stiff as a machine without the slightest emotion.

"After the energy is gathered, the target is locked, and the purification and chemistry are started. Mistake! > < Mistake! > < Mistake! > ,< Index CPU ...... This is not a valid address! > - Forced to skip the attack confirmation process - Cannot be skipped - . The opponent is not a Chaos Monster and cannot launch a purification attack. ”

"The Accra hub restarted the observation system and began the second scanning and positioning work."

Very fast, if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear what is said at all After the end of the heart, an invisible ripple quickly swept towards the five people present, everyone wanted to block it, but no matter what the means were useless, the fighting spirit, magic, and holy light could not stop this seemingly gentle ripple at all, and it could only be swept through the whole body.

"The target has been detected as a 'half-blood'...... The main bloodline foundation compliance degree is 99.7%, which is within the normal margin of error, and does not exist chaotically. Remove the 'Hostile Marker', grant Level 4 clearance, temporarily suspend the 'Kill Procedure' and open the 'Interrogation Procedure'. ”

"The target detected is 'Warcraft Chimera'...... 27.15% human, 18.85% elf, 12.45% hydra, 14.6% dinosaurus, and 10.25% ...... unknown higher monster dragonfly. Identified as an indigenous Microf creature, the 'hostile marker' was removed, the 'pet' permission was granted, and the 'extermination procedure' was temporarily suspended. ”

Suddenly, everyone present heard a completely different cold voice, and after that, this cold voice seemed to fall into some strange logical error, and once again began the endless loop.

“…… What's going on? ”

Even a psychic like Priest was at a loss - he was just ready to die, so he stood in front of everyone.

You must know that the world they are in has a very strange energy wave, or some kind of extremely special isolation barrier, which can block all communication signals, whether it is the official transmitter equipped by the empire or the repair light pillar given by Lord Radcliffe...... It means that if everyone encounters danger this time, there will not be a legendary powerhouse passing by to save everyone from fire and water, and Priest's most optimistic idea is probably that the soul abyss ball can save their souls and wait for the imperial rescue team that arrives later to reshape their bodies.

After all, no matter how sluggish the imperial officials are, they won't have found out that their group has lost contact.

"I guess...... Could it be something wrong? ”

The mage leaned on his staff, stood up straight, and replied with some shock: "After all, it is an ancient creation, and it has been buried into a mountain by the earth, so it shouldn't be strange that something went wrong for such a long time......"

It's not that the five members of the exploration team didn't think about taking this opportunity to escape directly, but not to mention that everyone is still magically locked now, and there is a high chance that they will be teleported back, and more importantly, everyone is afraid that their actions will stimulate this obviously abnormal ancient civilization creation - if it doesn't say a word next time it directly shoots a magic death light, the five people present will turn into five clouds of ashes.

So we can see a very strange scene, which appeared halfway up this unknown mountain—on the mountainside covered with moss and shrubs, five human beings who did not dare to move, and one after the other, most of them, were made of' The spiritual communication of the composition swept across a radius of dozens of kilometers.

Only the alchemist had not fully reacted so far, and he was still struggling with the words he had heard before.

"I said, what's going on with this 'Warcraft chimera' and pet permissions?!" He said angrily: "I'm obviously a human-elf half-blood! At most, a little blood and internal organs have been replaced! ”

And just when everyone was nervous, not knowing whether to stop where they were cautious, not to stimulate the Ruins Intelligence, or to quickly take advantage of the opportunity to escape, the Ruins Intelligence seemed to have finally ended the long-term cycle of errors and restored normal communication capabilities.

"Notice: Dear Citizens of the Glorious United, the Accra Space-Time Hub is not allowed to enter the Temporal Hub due to the erosion of Chaos. From Initially, the Accra Space-Time Hub will enter an emergency lockdown phase, suspending all transmission, transit, consignment, and courier services, and the lockdown will last until . Thank you to all citizens for your cooperation. ”

At first, the voice seemed a little dull, stiff, and completely cold and mechanical, but soon, the voice became soft, sweet, and very gentle young female voice, and the unknown voice of the heart changed so quickly that no one in the elite team immediately reacted to what it was saying.

And the second time, that is, a few seconds later, Priest's eyes suddenly widened, and he gasped and whispered, "I understand! ”

He listened to the familiar and familiar language that appeared in the depths of his mind, at most it was the Microf lingua franca with a little accent problem, and thought of the environment around him that was exactly the same as the Microf world, and Priest recalled some of the things that his teacher had casually mentioned to him, some about the black fog, and some information about the final battle of the last era, and he finally figured out what all this was all about!

But before Priest could excitedly turn his head and explain to his teammates the truth about all of this and why he and the others had failed to teleport, the sweet and gentle female radio voice of the Accrava Space-Time Hub reappeared.

"Hello, dear Citizens of the Glorious United, your authority does not come to area, if you can't in Before leaving, we will take some unpleasant measures. ”

“< Time error >. ”

Rumble!

In the next moment, without any waiting or preparation, with an invisible repulsion erupted violently, the five members of the elite team, along with the magic armor they put aside, and the wreckage of the flying car, were all like balls, and were sent away from afar—because the five of them were standing very close, everyone was not thrown in different directions in an emergency, but joined hands and turned into a whole, and was blasted into the dense forest at least a few kilometers away.

And in the middle of being blown away, in mid-air.

Priest forced his eyes open in the strong wind, and he saw a strong light burst out from the inside of the mountain, and it broke through the clouds, turning into a straight white pillar of holy light, standing between heaven and earth.

With the appearance of the pillar of light, the originally majestic mountain crust began to crack inch by inch - the rock crust of several meters, even tens of meters thick, burst into dense cracks, and dazzling magical brilliance flowed out of these cracks, filling all the cracks like water.

Then, there is the collapse.

Tens of millions of tons, heavy rock formations that had been condensed for thousands of years were faded like loose clothes by the huge metal structure in the middle of the mountain range, and it could be seen that the whole earth was shaking violently, because this did not happen here.

It can be seen that in the distant other directions, one after another holy pillars of light stand straight up, supporting the heavens and the earth, and countless towering mountains crumble, revealing the true form hidden behind them for an unknown amount of time.

Bang la - smack!

Priest didn't see the end, for the flying quint had already fallen into the forest, and they were like a stone through the dense foliage, and then fell firmly on the soft humus, knocking out a huge crater between the dusty earth.

If it weren't for the fact that the five members of the elite team were all golden powerhouses, they would be seriously injured if they didn't die if they fell this time.

In fact, Priest and the others were not injured at all, and everyone quickly got up in a mess of moans and complaints, and then checked each other's status.

"What the hell is this?"

After checking the surroundings, there were no beasts or enemies, and after making sure that everyone was not injured except for being startled fiercely, the clergyman who was so frightened that he broke through did not know whether he should be happy, killed or angry, he clenched the crystal ball in his hand, his expression was also mixed, and the strength was so strong that he was worried that he would crush the ball: "Since teleporting into this world, I haven't encountered a slightly normal thing!" What a strange forest, the primitive elven natives, those terrifying moons in the sky, and this neurotic 'hub'...... What the hell is this place?! ”

Everyone else also opened their mouths to complain, venting their dissatisfaction and fear in their hearts - although the five of them are all professional exploration team members, and their psychological quality is absolutely excellent, but they have encountered so many stimuli in a short period of time that even an iron man can't help but complain.

"I guess I kind of understand where we are now."

And after everyone complained and vented, Priest, who had not spoken and seemed to be sorting out his thoughts, said: "I think we should be in some hidden 'glorious heritage'. ”

Glorious heritage, after the information of the Glorious Age is gradually popularized, is a concept proposed by many scholars, it generally refers to all the relics, ruins and wonder buildings left behind in the Glorious Era, even the half-dimensional small world like the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground is also regarded as the Glorious Heritage, not to mention the typical Glorious Heritage of the Great Database.

Hearing this word, everyone immediately understood what Priest meant, and the mage touched the magic crystal inlaid on his staff, and after calming down a little, he calmly agreed: "Well, now that I think about it, there are indeed many clues to prove this...... We should have reacted from the moment we realized that the forest around us was exactly the same as our hometown. ”

"Yes, this is the edge of the world's galaxy, and no one can make this identical forest except for the Glorious Era." The alchemist no longer bothered about his authority being pets, and he nodded, "But what's the matter with those elves?" ”

"Those elves may be some people who accidentally ended up here."

Priest said lightly, he turned his head to look in the direction where the Akra Fat Hub was before, and frowned: "Before, when that relic intelligence was notified, it was mentioned that it is a 'space-time hub', which can be used for teleportation, transit, consignment, and courier...... The last two words are difficult to understand, but the previous teleportation can explain why we didn't return to the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground after activating the 'Return Beacon', but came here. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but immediately understand - during the Glorious Age, before the completion of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, there was no doubt that it also had its own teleportation network, and after the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground was completed, it would undoubtedly include all the previous space-time hubs into its jurisdiction.

It can even be said that the body of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground is not the half-plane located around the Mycrof world, but the incomparably developed space-time system of the entire Glorious Civilization!

"In this way, in fact, we have indeed returned to the 'Microf World' under the jurisdiction of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Place, and the return beacon has indeed made no mistake, and we have successfully teleported!"

Even the knight, who had never been very sensitive in this regard, understood what was going on, and he said with a smile: "Because this place may be the colony of the glorious civilization before!" It's just that there is a distance of more than half the world from our hometown. ”

"Not necessarily."

Hearing this, Priest shook his head, he sighed, pointed to the nine 'moons' that were still very conspicuous in the sky, and said helplessly: "You will put the colony here?" That's what a madman does! I suspect that the elves, like us, came to this place by accident! ”

Without waiting for the priest to ask, 'What the hell are those elves?' Priest directly analyzed: "I once heard my teacher, that is, the lord, say that at the end of the Shining Age, there were a large number of private adventurers who set off for other parts of the world's galaxy after reporting to the coalition government, and began to adventure or colonize. Among them, the elves are the most numerous, and they roam the void in the power of the sun in the sun boat. ”

"Countless elven colonists have actually taken root in many worlds, but after the final battle, no one can contact them. To be honest, I suspect that these elves are the descendants of those colonists in the first place, and they came here by accident, like a large database floating in the void, or similar to the failure of teleportation like ours...... This is pure speculation, though, but only this guess can explain why these elves are dressed...... So primitive. ”

Although Priest almost understood why he came to this place after this explanation, there are still many things that have not been explained...... For example, what is the strange barrier that separates all signals? Why does it exist, isolated from the inside and outside? Why did the nine-headed behemoth in the sky hang in the sky, and how did they die?

Why does this mysterious world, located on the edge of the world's galaxy, exist? What is the purpose of the Shining Age that it has placed a space-time pivot—look at those pillars of light in the sky, maybe there is more than one—here?

There are so many questions, but the answers are hard to find. Priest and his party pondered for a while, but they didn't come up with a reason.

"Speaking of which, we can be regarded as encountering two 'dangerous anomalies' this time."

The priest rejoiced: "The magnificent ancient ruins, and the mysterious voice of the heart—worthy of the name, it is indeed extremely dangerous! ”

The so-called five dangerous anomalies of the Department of External Exploration, the eerie broken ruins, the conspicuous and spectacular ancient ruins, the frequent energy fluctuations, the abrupt increase and disappearing scenes, and the voice of the heart of unknown origin, in fact, correspond to the "areas where there is obviously a huge threat", "the very conspicuous but always existing, the absolutely extremely dangerous ruins inside", "the environmental changes that cannot be estimated to be dangerous", "the abnormal time and space", and "absolutely strong, can endanger the unknown existence of the exploration life', once these abnormal situations are encountered, they are basically either dead or injured, which is the experience summed up by generations of adventurers with blood and tears.

"At least none of us are dead now, and that's a blessing."

Priest stood up, he beckoned everyone to stand in line, and then decisively ordered: "Although our magic armor was sucked a lot of energy by that hub before, we also carried a lot of backup energy...... In addition, almost all of our supplies are in the reserve of magic armor, so now our first goal is to find ......"

Whoosh——!!

Priest shut his mouth, then immediately hid behind the surrounding trees, on the lookout.

For just now, a sharp arrow flew in front of him and nailed it into the trunk of the tree.

The other four immediately sought shelter to avoid possible hidden arrows...... But soon, everyone realized that it was all useless work.

Because the primordial elven war songs are coming from all directions, and they are approaching rapidly.

Bang la la la -

Because it is not safe to hide behind the trees, the five people who formed a ring defense formation back to back to each other, watching the countless black shadows in the forest jumping between the branches, they could clearly sense that there were at least eight hundred elves surrounding their position, including more than two hundred silver-level and four gold-level.

“…… Is this pouring out of the nest?! ”

The mage felt a battle comparable to that of the original beast tide, and said in astonishment, "Just to deal with a few of us? Why bother - we didn't do anything! These elves are crazy, aren't they?! ”

"I didn't say anything!" The knight hurriedly emphasized, "I've been quiet since just now!" ”

But no matter how shocked, no matter how unbelievable, it was the truth—they had just escaped from the jaws of the Akrava Nexus, and in the blink of an eye, they had fallen into a group of elves who were still in the primitive age.

"Kill it?" The alchemist took out a bottle of alchemy potion from his bosom, and he said in a deep voice, "Although it is a little late, it is not too late. ”

"Wait a minute." Priest narrowed his eyes, he keenly noticed that the elves around him did not seem to be very hostile, he clenched his fists, and whispered, "As long as we have the heart, they can't stop us - see how it goes." ”

However, to the surprise of Priest and the others, the elves in the front row did not attack them immediately...... They just locked onto the crowd with their bows and arrows in silence, as if waiting for the follow-up.

Soon, people came.

In Priest's senses, four gold-level elves were approaching their location together, their steps heavy and powerful, and they were approaching step by step.

And just as the dense branches and leaves were swept away, the gold-level deer crown spirit led by the leader appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the two sides looked at each other.

The middle-aged elf with a somewhat tired face looked surprised.

“…… Mankind? ”

He stared at the elite squad who were not wearing magic armor and were now wearing simple leather armor, and couldn't help frowning, the deer crown elf used a very standard, even very elven accent tone and said to himself: "You guys...... Not a Chaos Monster? ”

The deercuff elf's voice was tired and incomprehensible.

But no one answered his words.

In an instant, the eyes of the five members of the elite team changed from a relaxed vigilance to an extremely serious solemnity, and the leader of Priest subconsciously clenched his fists, as if he was about to charge directly in the next moment.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the elf's left arm.

There was a black, wriggling scar like a shadow. If you don't pay attention, it's probably easy to ignore or take it as some kind of birthmark - even if it's a magic pattern, after all, don't elf druids like to do it all over their bodies with all kinds of strange magic patterns?

But those who came from the Outer Exploration Team would not ignore it, and those who had trained under a certain Chaos Enemy Lord would not ignore it.

The aura, viscous and evil, was like life, eating away at the surrounding atmosphere and the flesh of the deercrest elves like a plague...... But it is not life, it is not a germ, not only does it not have the slightest life, but it ruthlessly destroys everything that exists around it.

It is the murmur of nothingness, the prelude to destruction.

- This is the breath of chaos.
