Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds-Chapter 484 - : 484
Chapter 484: 484
Hello, Six!
The two mages who had escaped quickly contacted Kant.
After being rescued, the two spellcasters of the scouting team were thrown to a temporary camp more than ten kilometers away by Lily. Of course, they were thrown in the physical sense.
They were first thrown into the hastily constructed Holy Word Shelter, where they were baptized, disinfected, and healed from top to bottom. After confirming that they were not infected by any unknown mysterious energy or parasites, the two of them received comprehensive treatment and examination. However, due to excessive consumption of magic power and shock, they were a little exhausted. After eating something, they began to be interrogated in all aspects.
After contacting Kant, they expressed their gratitude rather excitedly. They even vaguely expressed the thought that they had to repay the favor of saving their lives, so they wanted to follow him. However, they were very tactful.
The wine-red-haired mage was called Kro Stedman, and his partner was called Ricky Ovic.
They gave Kant an accurate description of the location of the attack. Although the forest had been destroyed by artillery fire, they could still pinpoint the location with the help of the mountain range next to them.
” On foot, Your Highness.”
The heavy-armored men of the biochemical investigation team were moving forward cautiously.
The place was already in ruins. The heavy artillery had destroyed everything. The ground was filled with ruins that could not be seen clearly. They stepped on the soft and rotten soil, and strange breathing sounds could be clearly heard through the fully-sealed helmets. They were walking in this hellish scene.
” The Book of Holy Words is on alert. This is an evil place.”
” The corrosion counter has turned blue.”
“But the detector didn’t find any echo…I’ve already switched to the underground cave.”
Flames howled as Kant descended from the sky. The members of the investigation team could only see the human figure protected by the silver armor. It was the most beautiful armor they had ever seen.
Silver gauntlets, helmets, breastplates, greaves, and even battle boots. Black armor covered the abdomen, arms, and thighs. The shining metal and the black protective fabric complemented each other. Icy blue light flowed in the grooves of the armplates, shin plates, and shoulder plates. There had never been an armor of such a style among the races on the continent. It was elegant, noble, and powerful. It was forged with sparks of wisdom and tough steel.
” Gentlemen, did you find any problems?”
” No, Your Highness. We’re preparing for further exploration.”
The investigators looked away from the attractive battle suit. Each of them had their own tasks. The alchemist’s task did not require full concentration. He was responsible for explaining and communicating. Moreover, he was in the same line as Prince Kant. They were all alchemists, so it was easier for them to talk.
It was just that the difference in rank was a little ridiculous.
” Our previous guess was that there was an underground nest,” he explained.” However, the detector’s ground probe did not detect any echo. This is very strange…”
” Maybe not here?” Kant asked.
“Perhaps that’s the case…But there might be other reasons that we don’t know about.”
The alchemist controlled the mechanical dog to sniff left and right, digging through piles of ashes, trying to find a relatively complete corpse sample, but he knew that his efforts were probably futile.
Walking in this land of destruction, one could fully experience the terror of the attack launched by His Highness Kant. One thing was certain: within the range of the spell, there was no living thing. All the mutated birds had died. They died from the extremely powerful shock wave. When the shock wave swept through the dense forest, it shattered everything from the inside, followed by the burning of the flames. A terrifying power.
Was this a Forbidden Mage?
What was certain was that if the forest and mutated birds were replaced by an army, the result would not be any different. Unless it was a first-rate magical army, with the preparation and full support of the mages, they might be able to resist this terrifying attack.
However, the witnesses all said that from the time the scouting team retreated to the time His Highness Kant took over, destruction had descended from the sky in a short period of time. He had blasted the dense forest into the sky.
Damn it, even Forbidden Spells had high-speed chanting techniques?
“Strange…”
It took them about an hour to investigate the location where the two Glider Scout Magicians were attacked and the location where they were rescued. They even used two points to determine the location and made a fan shape to confirm the center of the circle. They also searched the entire area from the fan shape to the center of the circle. After two hours, they found nothing.
The rules in the anomaly management manual did not apply. The investigators were a little flustered. They communicated for a while and said helplessly to Kant,” Your Highness, it seems that this matter has exceeded the scope of field investigations. We need another plan…”
” We can’t find any clues by searching directly,” the alchemist explained.” We have to return to the camp and start studying the mutated samples to confirm the nature of the infection. We have to make a reverse sniffing device to find the nest…”
Kant was slightly disappointed, but he knew that he could not rush this matter.
Just like Stella said, leave it to the professionals.
He nodded and said,”Alright…” I’ll send you back? Flying back is faster.”
In the communication channel, the few of them laughed at the same time.” Although His Highness Kant’s invitation is very tempting, let’s wait until next time. We have come into contact with too many corrupted environments. We need to carry out strict purification work according to the rules before we can return. We will walk another route back to Lucius ‘Word, who is in charge of receiving us. We can also carry out a second investigation along the way…”
Kant did not care about the purification work. His spiritual power spread out to envelop the outer wall of the battle suit. He only needed to extract it once, and it was more effective than any purification spell.
“Then I’ll still escort you,”he said.
“Please allow us to agree to this suggestion.” The team leader smiled and said,” It couldn’t be better.”
” I’ll let you try flying next time,” Kant said.” It’s much better than walking.”
The heavy-duty agents should be using helicopters as their means of transportation. Hot air balloons were nothing.
The investigators laughed again.” We don’t quite agree with this statement, Your Highness Kant. We’re no strangers to flying…” To be honest, we would rather walk forever.”
Kant was curious. Before he could ask anything, he heard a Spell Caster in the team shout,” Something’s not right!”
Everyone was shocked. Kant activated his shoulder cannon, the Defenders raised their shields, and the Priests began to press their hand valve to inject air into the Holy Water sprayers. Everyone assumed a defensive stance and looked at the spellcaster.
” That’s not right.” The spellcaster staff member held the detector and walked a few rounds on the spot before shaking his head.” Something’s not right.”
“What is it, Scholar?” The Alchemist asked,” We didn’t find any problems.”
” But don’t you think that’s the biggest problem?”
It was as if this sentence had completely awakened the confusion in the spellcaster’s mind. He turned around abruptly.” His Highness Kant’s spell attack has almost completely wiped out this dense forest. The vegetation and creatures on the surface have suffered devastating damage. Such an explosion and shock wave will definitely affect the underground structure.”
” At least within a certain depth, the insects and small creatures in the soil will be killed by the tremors. The natural loose structures, the nests of insects and ants, the underground waterways, the tunnels excavated by small creatures, and other underground structures will completely collapse and compact. The impact will be reflected on the surface, which is a certain degree of collapse. However, we haven’t found any such signs. Don’t you think that such a perfectly fine problem is very problematic?”
The investigators were suddenly moved.
” I suggest sending a request for reinforcements to the command center, requesting for airdrop excavation magic devices and related scrolls. It’s best if it’s hosted by a high-level spellcaster from the Earth School of Thought. We should try drilling…”
The leader of the investigation team voiced his opinion.
“Don’t even think about it!” Jalus ‘voice sounded from inside the battle suit.
Perhaps the memory of digging hard in the muddy, wet, dark soil with some roots under Moani had left a psychological shadow on the Transformers.
Kant landed slowly.
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble.” He squatted down and pressed his hand against the ground.” Let me try.”
His spiritual force penetrated deep into the soil.
It spread downwards.
Ten centimeters, fifty centimeters, one meter, 1.5 meters, two meters…Then, he encountered an obstacle.
It was obviously soil, but it felt different from before. The composition and essence of the soil were more complicated and mysterious, and the elemental structure and complexity increased exponentially.
” There’s something wrong with this soil,” Kant said.
“Please be careful, Your Highness.” The investigators did not emphasize that Kant should pay attention to safety and protection. After all, he was a Great Alchemist and a Forbidden Mage. There was no need for weaklings like them to remind him.
“Excuse me, what’s wrong?” asked the spellcaster in the team.
Kant activated his ability and sent his mental power into the soil. The soil on the surface was broken down by an invisible force, as if it was being swallowed by a giant mouth in the void. When it reached the depth where it encountered obstacles, a small hole was formed.
“Try again,” he said.
The mage extended his probe, and in the next second, the sensing device on the handle of the probe immediately turned golden. It buzzed and emitted a strange sound, as if… Dragon Roar.
“Dragon!” the investigators shouted.
At the same time, a dragon’s roar sounded in the sky. The white dragon roared down, and the wind blew. Lily hovered in the air and transformed into a human. Her pale golden hair fluttered, and her black dress fluttered. Miss Dragon landed steadily.
Ah Xing was still hanging on her body, his arms around her neck.
She picked up Ah Xing as if nothing had happened and threw him to the side. Ah Xing jumped up and down to hide behind Kant. He wanted to do the same thing, but his battle suit flashed a few times. Ah Xing stopped and stood to the side.
“What happened?” Lily asked. I can sense the aura of Draconic Magic.”
Kant pointed at the hole he had dug out.
Long Niang walked forward and raised her foot to step on the ground. The surrounding soil rolled like a tide. Large pieces of soil were raised out of thin air and scattered in the surroundings. The hole had expanded several times.
Then, she jumped in and walked a few steps, observing with rapt attention.
Then, he jumped out and walked around, picking up a few bushes that had almost been burned to ashes.
Then, he sneered.
“There’s a hole here, a very big hole…He didn’t know why it was exposed, but it looked like it had experienced some kind of impact…But dragons fill them up.”
” Not only did you fill it up, you also used a spell to hasten the growth of plants and cover up the defects of the surrounding plants, making it look the same as usual. If you investigate the growth rings of the plants, you should be able to find traces of forced growth. However, they were all turned to ashes by your spell, so there’s no difference.”
“It’s probably him,” Lily snorted.
“Who is it?” Kant asked.
” That little fool [beep–], the scum dragon who has designs on me.” Lily frowned.” They’re the only ones who can do such delicate work like growing plants and healing natural wounds…”
Ah, it was his rival in love.
“What kind of dragon is it?” Kant asked curiously.
Lily glanced at him in surprise, as if Kant was asking where the sun rose from.
“Didn’t you say that it would hasten the growth of plants and heal the wounds of nature?” She replied,” Of course it’s the green dragon.”
“.. Pfft.”
“What are you laughing at?”
“I… I don’t know.” Kant pursed his lips.” That’s strange.”
He was clearly having a lot of fun playing Invincible Heroes 3. Green Dragons were level-7 soldiers from the stronghold forces. They were produced by Dragon Cliff and could be upgraded to golden dragons. They were immune to level-1 to level-3 spells…He didn’t feel anything back then.
Why was he smiling now? What did I experience?
“.. Crazy.”
Lily quickly picked up some of Kant’s words. She narrowed her eyes and looked down at her feet.” I want to see what this little idiot is trying to hide.”
She raised her foot and stomped on the ground.
“Wait!” Kant and the investigators shouted at the same time.
In the next moment, the earth shook violently, and the soil that had been strengthened by Draconic Magic collapsed. Countless pieces of soil flickered with the last luster of magic power and fell down. There was indeed a deep cave below.
A faint purple light shone from within.
A certain scent spread out. Lily took a whiff and revealed a surprised and intoxicated expression. She subconsciously walked down, but the next moment, she suddenly came back to her senses.” Something’s wrong with this thing!”
A holy light that dispelled evil appeared on her body, dispelling the purple evil.
Lily was a silver dragon.
The silver dragon abhorred evil like an enemy. It was born from the light, holy and pure, and was born to oppose all evil.
A loud noise came from the underground of the cave, as if something terrible was approaching.
F * ck.
Kant raised his arms and extended his blades of light. He opened his shoulder cannon. Lili, take these people and leave first. Leave this place to me!”
The Book of Holy Words in the investigator’s hand flashed rapidly, and the priest shouted,”Strong enemy!”
This was not a battle they could handle. The team leader made a prompt decision and shouted,” We can leave on our own. Your Highness the Dragon, please stay here and help Your Highness Kant. Command center, please respond. Emergency situation has occurred. Request for air evacuation. The investigation team will leave the battlefield soon!”
Three seconds later, Stella replied in person,” Agreed! The deployment and recovery work has begun.”
The investigators immediately unhooked the equipment in their hands and connected it to the heavy armor on their bodies. This was especially true for the samples they had collected. They looked at Kant. The team leader smiled and said,” Your Highness Kant, like I said, we don’t like flying. We would rather walk forever…Please be careful.”
He lifted the armor plate of his breastplate and hammered the red button on it.
The armor on his back bounced off and fell.
The object wrapped in the armor was revealed.
It was a crumpled cloth bag, and there were ropes around it.
The mechanism was activated, and the buckle was pulled open. The Elemental Firing Pin slammed into the Air Elemental Crystal inside the bag. The Air Elemental Crystal that was compressed by the magnetic binding model exploded with a loud bang. The huge amount of pure Air Element contained in it expanded rapidly, quickly filling the balloon woven from the Air Bag Worm leather.
An inflated balloon was deployed from the back of each investigator’s armor. The light air elements that filled the balloon provided a large amount of buoyancy, which activated the auxiliary spray array on the surface of the balloon.
Carrying a long rope, the balloon rushed into the sky at an extremely fast speed. Finally, it pulled the investigators ‘bodies and brought them away from the scene, rising into the sky.
At the same time, eagles screeched in the sky, and several giant alchemy eagles flew out of the clouds. The alchemists controlling them were remotely commanding from the hot air balloon platform nearby. The giant eagles swooped down in the air. When the investigation team’s buoyancy balloon rose to a certain height, they opened their claws and accurately grabbed the handle at the top of the balloon, dragging the investigators in the air toward the camp.
” The investigators have successfully evacuated. The important goods have been retrieved.”
Stella’s voice sounded in the communication channel.
” What?” Kant stared at the scene with his mouth agape.” You guys are so good,” he mumbled.
“.. Kant?” The Second Princess asked,” How’s the situation?”
There was only a high-spirited dragon’s roar in the channel. From the observation of the hot air balloon, a silver-white dragon flapped its wings in the broken area below and immediately swooped down. White dragon breath whistled down.
Then, she remembered a strange sound. If she had to describe it, it sounded like a continuous low fart. Of course, this description was too disgraceful for a noble and elegant girl like Princess Goethe.
Kant held the M134 Vulcan machine gun and fired down. There were only sounds of broken limbs and screams. Without any obstacles, Phoenix could see clearly what was below. Strange creatures of all sizes were running fast. Their bodies were shining with the same purple light as they rushed towards Kant. He swept the Gatling gun in a circle while Lily used her dragon breath to attack in a large area. However, the attack seemed endless.
“Seal this hole first!” he shouted.
” We’ll have to fight sooner or later!” Lily said as she soared in the sky.
“You can’t say that!” Kant shouted,” If we fight earlier, we’ll fight now. If we fight later, we might not even need to fight anymore!”
“What do you mean?” Long Niang asked as she spat out her dragon breath. You want the Goethe to do this?”
“Of course not!” Kant shouted,” Aren’t the dragons from Dragon Island down there? This kind of thing, including the mutation, must have been caused by them. The dragon race wants to clean up their mess and pay compensation!”
“F * ck!” Lily shouted,” What do you mean they did it? You’re too…”
“We’ll split the money equally!”
“Seal, seal, seal!”
[PS 1: 5,000 words…] Ah, there’s something about the fitness ring…
