A howling gale mysteriously ford, instantly covering the entire teapot-shaped cave,
The surface of the shallow lake rippled rapidly, revealing the smooth pebbles below,
A large amount of water was swept up by the gale, forming droplets, swiftly rotating around the cave.
The spell attack released by Hoenhem was also sucked away by the gale,
Castle-like blazing flas were stretched into fiery red arcs,
Conical freezing cold air was compressed into a thin layer of pale gas and quickly dissolved and dispersed in the rapid rotation of the gale.
David and Amber, who had charged forward, felt that the resistance increased as they moved ahead,
The air seed solidified, every movent felt intensely hindered.
They couldn't retreat.
The sa thought appeared in their minds,
A fierce expression flashed in David's eyes,
He leaned forward, reduced his wind-facing surface, his bones cracked loudly,
His entire height strangely increased by a few centiters, and the arm holding the Judgent Spear transford into a ball of lightning beca longer and narrower, looking oddly unusual,
Clearly utilizing a skill to temporarily amplify the strength of his body.
anwhile, Amber raised the Tidal ssenger before him, the Skeleton Pirate Ship shadow behind him brushed against the lake surface,
The massive ship body drifted slowly like in slow motion, turning one side towards Su Ni Sheng.
It's now.
David's foot stomped heavily on the shallow lake surface,
With a sudden forward thrust of his arm, he hurled the ball of lightning like a shot put.
Whoosh—
A large amount of visible pure white gang qi instantly suspended around Su Ni Sheng's shadow,
The gang qi mixed in with the swiftly rotating whirlwind, slicing through the air and screaming sharply like birds.
Thud!
The gang qi fragnts collided head-on with the ball of lightning but did not shatter or cut it open,
The ball of blue lightning was surrounded by an invisible layer of soft yet resilient film, gently deflecting all gang qi, preventing it from prematurely exploding.
This was also a skill David acquired after the gate fight, never displayed in front of others.
Bang bang bang bang—
The ball of lightning bounced back and forth like a ping pong ball in the gang qi whirlwind, unable to shatter imdiately but also unable to move forward.
Suddenly,
A simple wooden arrow shot across from the cave's edge.
The arrow instantly traversed a hundred ters, penetrating the weakest part of the gale, with only minimal wind resistance deviation, reaching directly above the ball of lightning,
Then it suddenly exploded.
Large fragnts of wood blasted in all directions, forming a hemispherical barrier ahead of the ball of lightning,
In a brief interval, it blocked the relentless gang wind.
David's peripheral vision caught Liu Wu Dai drawing a bow at the cave's edge,
He tightened his face, seizing the fleeting opportunity, and abruptly clenched his palm to manipulate the ball of lightning to dart forward.
The ball of lightning accelerated so swiftly,
Su Ni Sheng's shadow, balancing against the gale and Hoenhem's continuous spells, slightly furrowed brows in surprise, just raised another hand,
The ball of lightning, having surged ten ters to her side, suddenly exploded.
In an instant, currents shot out, light shining radiantly,
The lake surface, stirred by the gale, reflected the dazzling electric light,
Enormous teapot-shaped cave darkened for countless years now illuminated as bright as day.
The light flashed away,
Once the Thunder Python Electric Snake scattered then dissipated,
The howling gale cald down,
The lake returned to tranquility, leaving behind icy traces in corners caused by Hoenhem's freezing cold air.
As the dust settled,
The machine still stood on the lake's sand dune, unscathed.
Su Ni Sheng's shadow hovered above the machine, surrounded by a shield ford by blurred air, perfectly blocking the ball of lightning's imnse power.
But the Ding Zhensi in her hand had vanished.
Su Ni Sheng's shadow belatedly looked up, seeing the Kui Ox cha appearing on the other side of the cave,
Being gently lowered by a strange man in a Dragon Head White Lab Coat—
In the instant of the ball of lightning's explosion, Li Ang rushed from the other side, lifted the Kui Ox cha, toed the ground, and swiftly retreated, rescuing Ding Zhensi.
"..."
Su Ni Sheng's shadow once again glanced at these bizarrely dressed travelers from a Different World, her serene brows furrowed slightly, slowly raising her hand.
Boom boom boom boom!
Her actions interrupted by the sound of cannon barrage.
The enormous Skeleton Pirate Ship shadow fired during its drift turn,
The cannon muzzle at the front spewed flas,
A variety of projectiles created a continuous rain.
Whether it be the origin of the Skeleton Pirate Ship, the ghosts aboard it seed comparable to modern computerized firepower command and control engineering,
Each shell could precisely cover Su Ni Sheng's shadow's location,
And as the ship gradually completed its turn, cannons at the rear started firing, never ceasing, evoking a gratifying sensation of the dreadnought era.
Boom boom boom boom!
The bombardnt lasted only two rounds over thirty seconds, yet felt like an eternity,
Amber, looking slightly pale, waved the Tidal ssenger's scimitar, dismissing the Skeleton Pirate Ship's shadow, gulped down a vial of magic potion,
After drinking, his face appeared even worse.
This area remained an anti-magic area,
And the surrounding air seed like a reborn ghost, ferociously absorbing stray energy.
As soon as the magic potion was taken out, after a few seconds, most of its effect dissipated.
Considering the frequent usage of magic potions could lead to resistance, reducing the effect of potions restoring spirit energy value,
Players on site could directly calculate the approximate total spirit energy value they could still use.
The battle was far from over,
Dust and smoke from the shelling dispersed,
Sand around the Wishing Machine was directly leveled, exaggeratedly sunken, filled with scorched color, gently emitting smoky heat,
Yet, the Wishing Machine remained unhard under the shield's protection,
The shield itself, after facing two rounds of cannon barrage, only slightly dimd in color.
"She seems unable to stray far from that machine."
Hoenhem said solemnly, "We attack the Wish Machine."
No matter what kind of existence this virtual shadow of Su Ni Sheng is, the opponent's power undoubtedly surpasses any player present,
even the Desolated Lion from the Lost World couldn't withstand a volley of spherical lightning and Skeleton Pirate Ship cannon shots unscathed.
Transcendents of this level aren't weak in terms of mobility,
since the opponent hasn't moved, it's likely he cannot leave the area where the Wish Machine is located—the shadow itself is ford by the light projection of the Wish Machine,
possibly, if the Wish Machine can be destroyed or its light projection halted,
it might be possible to eliminate Su Ni Sheng's shadow.
Hoenhem's lips murmured as he recited the incantation, rapidly flipping through the Book of Sand, stopping at a certain page.
He obviously used quick casting and multiple casting techniques, with just one tongue, his mouth could utter whispers like a crowd of people.
The players present were already accustod to daily life dancing on the knife-edge, a tacit understanding was shared among them without much communication.
Hoenhem is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of spellcasting magic professionals in the current killing field ga,
As a mber of the Clock Tower Mage Association, he had received complete and perfect mystical educational training, and the Book of Sand in his hand was a special tool of unknown quality,
capable of directly releasing spells without reciting lengthy incantations and performing all sorts of gestures.
When he used quick casting and multiple casting techniques to recite an incantation for over five seconds and yet hadn't finished howardfull interrupted his speech,
the others instantly understood Hoenhem was accumulating power to release a powerful high-level spell.
David's expression fell, he opened his right hand, and the Judgent Spear that had exploded as spherical lightning pinned to the wall flew back on its own,
his left hand retrieved a toy-sized miniature pyramid from his backpack, tossing it in front of everyone.
[Na: Pharaoh's Protection]
[Type: Magic Tool]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Special Effect: Geb's Protection. When placed on the ground, it forms a hemispherical force field that transfers part of incoming attack damage into the soil, lasting 3 minutes. The transferred damage depends on attack strength and soil solidity]
[Consumption: None]
[Cooldown Ti: 8 hours]
[Usage Conditions: None]
[Remark: After use, it will last up to three minutes and can be interrupted prematurely. After complete release or premature interruption, it automatically recharges, taking 8 hours to recharge, shortened under strong sunlight]
[Remark: Geb of the Heliopolis Ennead, the power of the land's quake, imprisoning the souls of evildoers, preventing them from entering paradise]
As soon as the small pyramid hit the ground, the front imprinted with the image of a green man with a goose head emitted dim light.
That light rose and stead, covering Hoenhem's head,
the other half fell into the soil, scurrying like worms penetrating deep into the ground.
Moreover, David retrieved another tool from his backpack—an oversized water gun in yellow-green color.
He held the gun, aid the nozzle downward, and pulled the trigger at the soil,
only to see the nozzle spray a clear water source, which lted into soil crevices upon contact.
Clack clack—the soft sand beneath their feet emitted a series of crisp sounds,
under the water gun's effect, it rapidly solidified, becoming as hard as reinforced concrete.
This water gun, rely an excellent grade tool with average effects, shoots out spring water that petrifies and hardens objects it touches, maintaining the state for a while.
It can serve as an auxiliary tool usually, strengthening a door plank,
also useable against low-level enemies, though ineffective on magic-resistant monsters, at most making their hair stand upright as if sprayed with hair gel, provoking them.
However, [Pharaoh's Protection] can achieve a synergistic effect with this water gun,
the forr can transfer received damage into the soil,
while the water gun hardens the soft soil, forcibly creating an environnt suitable for [Pharaoh's Protection], producing an effect greater than the sum of its parts.
Geb ntioned in [Pharaoh's Protection], one of Egypt's nine gods, the god of earth,
after the water gun hardened the ground, the toy-like pyramid imdiately exuded more apparent thread-like light.
"..."
From afar, the virtual shadow of Su Ni Sheng lightly trembled her eyelashes,
she blinked indifferently, slowly opening her originally outstretched hand, joining her forefinger and middle finger like a sword.
Dong!
The air in the cave vibrated fiercely as if it were a magical beast's heart,
as Ding Zhensi, who was taking ergency repair parts from his pack to fix the Kui Ox cha, his hair stood on end,
with no ti for final testing,
he hurriedly jumped into the cockpit, slamming his palm onto the restart button.
Vroom——
Inside the cockpit illuminated with red light,
the fully rebooted Kui Ox cha system imdiately started working, showcasing all data of Su Ni Sheng's virtual shadow with ticulous precision.
Identically,
the virtual shadow before him was completely identical to Su Ni Sheng of the real-world Heterodox Academy in appearance and deanor,
yet the energy response of the shadow was drawn extensively lower.
"How is that possible?!"
Ding Zhensi cried out in astonishnt, the energy contained within the Su Ni Sheng shadow before him was rely equivalent to a Lv21 second-tier player,
not even matching Ding Zhensi in a Kui Ox cha, let alone Hoenhem and others present.
Yet, her energy utilization efficiency was maddeningly high.
In the sensors of the Kui Ox cha, Su Ni Sheng's virtual shadow was like a black hole ravenously absorbing energy, deftly maneuvering the scattered energy in the air, concentrating it at her fingertips.
Comparatively speaking, among the people present, Hoenhem was rely a brute in her presence in terms of energy manipulation.
Is this the previous life of Su Ni Sheng recorded in history...
No ti for much thought, Ding Zhensi urgently shouted: "Careful, she's about to swing the sword!"
Sword?
Where's the sword?
The question was imdiately answered—
the mighty energy flow rapidly coalesced at the fingertips of Su Ni Sheng's virtual shadow, morphing shape, ultimately extending into a slender pure white sword nearly a hundred ters long.
Slash!
In the players' horrified gaze, she swung her arm as if practicing swordplay, very casually.
The hundred-ter sword blade commanded like an arm, slashing across, advancing slowly,
before the sword reached,
the abundant sword qi had already erupted in advance,
the huge cave shook violently, its resilient rock walls, unknown of how many years it stood, sharply split by the sword qi!
The teapot-shaped cave's upper rock wall was lifted half a ter by the sword qi,
sunshine penetrated from the half-ter gap,
the group clearly saw the misty cloud layer and the snowy mountains outside the rock wall—the cave wasn't buried deep underground but stood atop a snow-covered mountain summit.
