Chapter 502 Return to Longji Mountains
The old site of the Dragon's Back Mountains, the ruins of the Blood Lake, or the Beinz Basin - no matter what the name is, these words all show to people the huge changes caused to this area by the earth-shattering disaster that day. Now, more than two months have passed, and the parties responsible for these huge changes in the landscape have finally returned here. They will probably be shocked by the huge changes in this place.
After the teleportation halo flashed, Hao Ren and his party appeared on the ridge of the Longji Mountains. The data terminal recorded the spatial coordinates of the last time everyone left the Dream Plane, so this time it was also transmitted directly from the old address. Nangong Sanba fainted for a while after the teleportation halo dissipated, and then began to look at the surrounding mountains curiously: "Oh, what a great place. Did you take the risk here in the first place?"
Hao Ren glanced at this half-experienced demon hunter in surprise: "Yeah, you recover very quickly. You're still not dizzy after being teleported over a long distance?"
Nangong Sanba proudly raised his chest and smiled: "I have been practicing since I was a child."
Hao Ren thought he meant that he had often practiced the demon hunter's teleportation skills since he was a child, but Nangong Sanba glanced at Yuyue: "When I was little, my sister liked to wrap her tail around me and throw me around, with the electric fan on the fifth gear. Amplitude…”
Wu Yue's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Brother, you really miss the 'Big Windmill', right?"
At this time, Lily suddenly shouted loudly not far away, attracting everyone's attention: "Wow! Landlord, come and see here!"
Hao Ren quickly ran over to see what was going on, but was stunned for a moment.
In front of him, there was a huge sinkhole of unprecedented scale and terrifying appearance. The entire landform surrounded by the Dragon's Back Mountains had turned into an endless, bottomless crater. The lake and the Twisted Woodlands have disappeared, and no one can still make out the slightest bit of structure of the former landscape from the huge crater. Rock cracks that are still emitting thin steam can be seen everywhere on the steep cliffs of the tiankeng. On the west side of the Longji Mountains, large swaths of black crystals hang on the walls - glass that was once melted and then solidified. In the lower part of this large pit, among the smoke, you can see large areas of light blue crystals growing wantonly. It seems to be a newly formed crystal jungle.
The entire Beinz area has turned into a super giant basin. The former sacred lake and twisted woodland have disappeared. It is now covered with spreading crystal jungles and volcanic glass, as well as dotted with steam vents and geothermal hot springs. This is a geological change.
"The activities of the eldest son hollowed out the rock formations in the Beinz area, and the giant turtle platform expanded the area into a crater with one shot." The data terminal analyzed the cause of the formation of this landform. "The crystal jungle below should have been bombarded by psionic energy. The by-product, psionic energy is a kind of information that goes straight to the source and can fundamentally change the structure of matter and even the laws and regulations within a certain range. Those crystals are not the materials that this universe should have... they may be the metamorphosis of ordinary rocks."
"Isn't it a nether energy crystal?" Hao Ren asked worriedly, "That thing radiates a lot of light."
"Don't worry, unless it is a specialized radiation weapon, ordinary psionic artillery has no radiation residue. Within a fraction of a second after the bombardment, the radiation near the bombardment point will be reduced to a safe range," the data terminal observed while observing below The Crystal Jungle replied, "After all, cleaning the battlefield is a troublesome thing. Xiling Apostle doesn't like sloppy things."
"There seems to be something moving down there?" Lily's sharp eyes suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some shaking shadows at the bottom of the smoky crater, as well as a few neat man-made objects. "Um... and there are houses?"
"They should be mining those crystal mines." The data terminal had already noticed the movement below, but it thought it was no big deal. "Anyway, there is not much radiation anymore. Let them do whatever they want. Maybe the locals will find out what those crystals can do." Use it... Although this kind of thing is not common, it does happen. Nether energy will react with conventional substances and change them into a variety of weird products. According to the laws and specific material properties of each world, Occasionally, some things with strange effects are created. So every time the empire and army finish a battle, there will be a large group of interstellar privateers and the like driving ore ships to the battlefield to mine, sometimes in order to grab two They can even fight against a shell crater... Fortunately, regulations in this regard have been established in the past two years, and the situation is better."
Hao Ren was amazed when he heard this, thinking that it was indeed a fight between gods. And Nangong Sanba was already confused at this time - he had followed here in a daze, and he was still confused about what Hao Ren and his gang were doing. He wanted to find someone to ask, but he was dragged away by Wuyue before he could speak. He paused: "Brother, you can ask again when you get back. Just follow me now."
"This place has completely changed... I don't know if the Kingdom Knights are still there," Hao Ren then thought that after the shocking incident in the Beinz area that day, the situation in Horleta may have changed dramatically. The Kingdom Knights and the The Church Knights may have undergone huge changes. "Where can we find Marshal Ofra?"
Just as Betsy was about to make a suggestion, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from a certain direction: "Wait a minute, someone is coming."
The data terminal slipped into Hao Ren's pocket, and Doudou quickly jumped in along Hao Ren's collar. However, the figure wandering over from the mountain road was not a stranger, but someone he had met once before, or even The old werewolf who fought side by side for a while - the werewolf general beside Marshal Ofra, Elson Eben.
The old werewolf obviously didn't pass by by chance. He saw Hao Ren and his party from a distance. At this time, he greeted with a smile: "You are indeed back - strange people from a foreign country."
"Ganqing also has an inexplicable title." Hao Ren was in a good mood after unexpectedly seeing an acquaintance, and he greeted him with a smile, "Have you been waiting here for us?"
Elson was obviously waiting here specially, but he was a little surprised to see Hao Ren and his party suddenly appear. The old werewolf curiously looked up and down at the foreigners in front of him. This group always appeared and left suddenly. Moreover, the guy who caused many incredible events made him full of curiosity, but he controlled his doubts well and answered Hao Ren's question with a smile: "This is what Ofra told her before she left. He said that you will appear here again sooner or later, and in order to prevent unnecessary trouble when the time comes, we have specially cleared the area near the main peak of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range. The Kingdom Knights are stationed here, and we have been waiting for you."
Nangong Wuyue said casually: "The dignified general is guarding here personally. You don't mind wasting human resources."
"The Beinz Basin is now the focus of attention on the entire continent. The kingdom and the western tribes are all staring at this place nervously. A general is needed to lead the army here," Elson shrugged, "I'm just waiting here by the way. It’s just you—after all, the werewolf’s nose is very sharp, and I’ll be the first to spot anything that appears on the mountain.”
When Lily heard this, she immediately nodded her head happily, her racial pride of belonging to the werewolf aroused again. Speaking of which, this girl is really convenient. She can switch between being a husky and a werewolf seamlessly. When she needs to be fashionable, she will say she is a werewolf. When she is hungry and gnawing all over the room, she will say she is a husky. The field is simply a mixed bag...
"I don't know if there is any problem with our 'identities' here," Hao Ren asked with a smile, "I'll tell you the truth - we have missions in 'this world' and have to move around. But we don’t want to cause trouble.”
Elson nodded: "Your feats in the Dragon's Back Mountains are obvious to all... Well, at least Ofra and I witnessed it together, and with the guarantees of the four masters, I know you won't have any problems. Oh. Fula left a message before she went back. If you come back, I will directly arrange for you to go to the capital to meet her. She has the next arrangements. But then again...the four masters are not with you?"
"They are busy catching wild rabbits all over the world where I am," Hao Ren shrugged. "We just stopped by to show our faces. We have just been liberated by another race elsewhere."
Elson: "?"
"Ahem, this is a professional terminology in my field. Don't go into the details." Hao Ren felt Vivian pinch his back, and he quickly coughed twice, "Since there is no problem... then take us there first." Let’s find a place to stay, let’s talk as we walk.”
