But it's a crack!
A tortuous crack like the one in a cracked stone!
Just like that, it suddenly appeared on the surface of the blood-red light ball.
Before everyone could react, the crack suddenly stretched and expanded, and continued to extend a large number of fine branches, covering half of the surface of the light ball in a blink of an eye.
If something is suddenly full of cracks, what usually happens next?
obviously……
“Snap!”
The blood-red full moon exploded with a loud bang.
Like a hatching eggshell, a large number of fragments emitting crimson light burst out, splashing in all directions.
Since it is an incubating eggshell...what kind of thing will be born from it?
Qi Ji saw a familiar scene through the huge gap.
It was... dull, monotonous, restless, and grayish-white.
But this time, the gray and white colors, which were both dense and thick and ethereal and illusory, did not stay obediently inside the blood moon like they did in the "shaft" of Mountains End.
The moment the Crimson Moon's shell was broken, they seemed to have lost their restraints and swarmed out from it!
These gray strange things were endless, and soon they filled the space between the blood moon and the four people, and continued to spread without any sign of diminishing!
"Not good! Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly..."
"brush!"
The expressions of the three men changed drastically, and they immediately activated the magic they had prepared long ago, causing themselves to retreat violently.
However, they were moving very fast, and the gray tide spread even faster! Before the three of them could move far, the gray tide, like a river bursting its banks, swallowed up everyone in an instant.
Faced with all this, Qi Ji just floated aside without making any reaction.
After the three figures disappeared in the gray-white waves, she followed closely behind and was swallowed by the surging gray.
====================
A new week, please like it!
Chapter 473: Promotion on the Battlefield
"Shasha, Shasha..."
It's the feeling of water drops hitting your face.
It was not the kind of sharp, heavy, violent water drops, but rather a drizzle as soft and soothing as fine yarn, like a breeze. It felt cool and comfortable on the face.
With such a gentle touch, Hill's consciousness gradually became clear, his vision gradually emerged from the darkness, and an extremely faint light seeped in from behind his eyelids.
"Well……"
She couldn't help but frown, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she felt a little upset. She wanted to turn over to avoid the strange touch on her cheek.
But when she was about to move, extreme soreness and fatigue rushed from every muscle in her body to her brain.
"……what!"
The feeling of numbness, swelling and pain instantly brought her mind back to normal from the chaos of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, and the memory of her previous experience was always present in her mind.
She remembered that she had been diving into the "abyss" with Great Elder Julian, Deacon Ottilia and the messenger of the "True Creator" - the cloaked girl 105!
At the end of that adventure... She only remembered that the strange blood-red ball of light deep in the "third layer" suddenly burst, and an overwhelming gray-white mist emerged from it, engulfing everyone.
Then, she knew nothing.
"I'm alive?!"
After recalling all this, she immediately opened her eyes, and at the same time, despite the extreme fatigue of her body, she supported herself on the ground with her elbows and tried her best to sit up.
A faint gray light came into view, and the first thing she saw was an extremely messy pile of tree wreckage.
Large tracts of deformed gray-white trees were all uprooted and collapsed to the ground. The thick, sickly, pale trunks had obvious signs of bursting, as if they had been crushed by some extremely terrifying force.
"Hmm, this is... 'Gray Field'?"
Turning his stiff neck and looking around, Hill found that the range of the tree debris was about ten meters, forming a circle with a diameter of about thirty meters.
Outside this "circle" are relatively normal gray-white trees that were not crushed by the mysterious force.
And I am exactly in the center of this "circle".
"It stinks... Weird, why am I here?"
The extremely pungent smell rushed into the girl's nose, making her hold her breath.
That was the stench emitted by trees that had been contaminated and eroded by the "rust plague" and were severely damaged.
Not only are the sap and wood structures of these plants toxic and cannot be eaten or used as building materials, the smell is almost impossible to dispel or cover up.
The sky was already bright at this time, and it was probably still morning.
A fine drizzle drifted down from the lead-black clouds. Although it was comfortable when it fell directly on the skin, my clothes were soaked by the rain. I didn't know how long I had been exposed to the rain before I arrived, but it was quite uncomfortable to have it stick to my body.
"Hey-"
While standing up with difficulty and observing the current environment, Hill quickly determined that this place was not near the ruined city, and was probably not close to the effective sphere of influence of the Last Kingdom.
This was because she could neither see the tops of the tall tower-like buildings in the ruined city nor the headlights of the church towers that were the landmark of the Last Kingdom.
This can only mean one thing...
Danger.
Extremely dangerous!
Being far away from civilization means that if you encounter any threat, there is no force that can help, support or save you.
In the "Ash Fields" full of dangers and rust curses, the thing that is most abundant is... "threat".
For example, evil spirits.
"How on earth did I end up in a place like this?"
Hill stood there vigilantly and rested, his heart full of doubts.
She was clearly inside the "third layer" of the abyss, which was unknown how deep... Why did she run to a place far away from the ruined city and the last country after waking up?
Could it be that the gray mist at the end was the cause?
Where are Elder Julian and Deacon Otilia? Where is Master 105? Where are they all?
All kinds of doubts hung over her mind like a dark cloud, but the current dangerous situation forced her to put these doubts aside and focus on the real dilemma.
She briefly checked her body and found that she was not injured, which made her feel a little relieved.
And he was very lucky. Although his body was very tired, his spiritual state was still good. It was probably because he got enough rest during the coma.
This allowed her to maintain her most basic combat capabilities...
"Oh no, my backpack is gone!"
She suddenly realized something and reached back, but only felt her empty back.
"It's finished..."
The girl's face turned pale instantly. That backpack was filled with almost all her spellcasting materials!
Now that everything is lost, and 105 is not around anymore, she can no longer enjoy the multiplier blessing of the Starlight Ring. For a mage like her who is only an "apprentice", it is difficult for her to cast spells quickly without auxiliary materials...
If you encounter an evil spirit, who would give yourself the opportunity to slowly meditate, chant, and draw spell diagrams?
Her heart sank to the bottom, and at this moment, a faint rustling sound came from behind her.
"!"
If her body wasn't so tired, she would definitely jump three feet high!
Turning around quickly, she saw a patch of ash-white bushes at the edge of the "circle" shaking slightly, and it was obvious that some living creature was about to appear behind it.
Hill was now completely desperate, knowing that even if she prepared to cast the spell immediately, it would be too late. But she still did not completely give up the desire to survive, and concentrated all her energy, trying to get her mind into the state of casting the spell.
"boom--"
An orange fireball immediately rose in front of her, hovering quietly waiting to be ignited. Bloody rain fell on it, and was constantly evaporated by the blazing flames. Puffs of white mist were looming.
"Eh?!"
The expected cumbersome and tedious preparation process did not happen, and the spell was cast immediately!
Only then did she realize... her spirituality had obviously been refined to a higher level than before, and her spiritual power had become a little stronger.
Perhaps it was because of the intense combat that took place after entering the abyss with Team 3 yesterday morning? It was precisely because of the experience of facing a truly life-threatening and desperate situation that her spiritual power was enhanced.
Moreover, because he had obtained a three-fold increase of 105 when he had explored the abyss with the Great Elder and others last night, he had experienced in advance the feeling of having extremely abundant spiritual power.
So even if she lost that enhancement, she would be able to quickly find techniques to use her spiritual power at a higher level.
Simply put... now, both her spiritual power and her understanding of spiritual power have reached the level of a "true master"!
She is already an entry-level magician!
Once you enter the ranks of true mages, you can get rid of the limitations of external auxiliary materials to a large extent if you want to cast spells quickly!
Having personally experienced the improvement in her own strength, Hilton felt a lot more at ease. She kept the fireball aimed at the swaying bushes, and would shoot as soon as the evil spirit showed up!
The next second, a black figure pushed aside the bushes and emerged.
"brush!"
Hill threw the fireball without hesitation and hit the figure instantly!
"Boom!!!"
There were flashes of fire and explosions! The bushes were reduced to ashes, and even a few nearby trees shook violently, leaving charred scars on their pale trunks.
"Did you finish it?"
After the hit, Hill did not take it lightly. He mobilized his spiritual power to condense a bigger fireball again.
She was not sure how much damage her fireball would do to the evil spirits. After all, there were many different types of evil spirits, with different sizes, vitality and defense capabilities. No one could guarantee that they could kill them with one blow.
The flames caused by the explosion gradually died down, and the dark shadow slowly emerged from the flying dust.
"The first thing you did after upgrading was to use me as a target to test your skills? Don't be so impatient."
Qi Ji waved his hand to brush off the dust on his cloak and said in some confusion.
Chapter 474 Three Directions
The next chapter will be updated around nine o'clock.
====================
"what!"
When Xier saw that figure, he was immediately stunned and stared at her for a long time. It was not until Qi Ji was about to walk in front of him that he shouted out in surprise:
"Master 105! You are here too?! That's great!"
"I woke up a few minutes earlier than you did, so I went to scout the area."
Qi Ji brought out a story he had made up long ago and explained it. He lied without blushing or breathing heavily, and looked so confident that the listeners had no doubts at all.
"I see."
Hill nodded. With her companions by her side, she felt a little more relaxed, but still asked anxiously:
"Excuse me... Lord 105, do you know what happened? Aren't we on the third floor of the Abyss? Why are we here? Where are the Great Elder and Deacon Otilia?"
She was also very anxious because the situation was too strange, and asked several questions in one breath.
"Well...it's a long story."
Qi Ji placed an object in his right hand in front of his lower abdomen. The corners of his mouth on the half of his face that was revealed from under the shadow of his hood turned down slightly, as if he was thinking about something seriously. After a few seconds, he said quietly:
"I don't know much more than you do. After being engulfed by the gray mist, I also lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was lying in this strange place just like you."
As she spoke she gestured with her hands.
