Chapter 792 Fire
When the wizard rushed towards the gate of purgatory resolutely, no one reacted - because the door was obviously not fully opened, and the crazy magical energy was swirling like a storm at the entrance of the gate. Normal people would never rush here. Plant something inside. Lily was the first to react. She rushed out like a bolt of lightning to intercept Baptiste, who was about to fall into the door. A white shadow flashed past, followed by the muffled sound of metal cutting off flesh and bones: He was about to be killed. The moment he was caught, Baptiste reached out to block Lily, which caused his entire left arm to be cut off at the root, but his body still fell into the black-red twisting vortex irresistibly.
Everyone just watched helplessly as the wizard disappeared into a frenzy of magical energy. His body seemed to be torn to pieces and reorganized countless times in an instant. Endless black smoke and ashes spewed out from the door. Baptiste Harsh laughter came from the whirlpool: "I succeeded! I succeeded! No one..."
The second half of his sentence disappeared in a gust of wind. Since the formation for extracting magic power was destroyed, all the magic facilities on site had stopped operating. The gate of purgatory that lost its energy supply quickly swayed and dimmed. When the gate collapsed, the The whirlwind is almost impossible to get close to. At the moment when the space channel was about to disappear completely, Hao Ren took out a small silver-white device from the portable space and threw it towards the center of the vortex. The small device flickered in a black and red storm and then disappeared. .
The gate to purgatory finally disappeared completely.
The previous whirlwind disappeared without a trace as if it had never existed. There was only a huge pit left where the door to purgatory once opened, and wisps of foul-smelling black smoke filled the air from the pit, mixing with the surrounding thick air. The fog merged together. The mist that flowed like liquid before slowly began to dissipate. It was obvious that their previous state was also the result of magic control.
Everything happened too fast. It wasn't until Baptiste and the gate of Purgatory disappeared that Hesiana finally couldn't help but yell: "Shit! You let him run away! You let this bastard run away!"
Lily bent down to pick up Baptiste's arm that had fallen to the ground. Her prey had escaped, and this was the only "trophy" left at the scene. She carried the terrifying thing back to Hao Ren and handed it forward blankly: "Here..."
Hao Ren couldn't imagine what Lily was thinking: "Why do I want this?!"
"Bring it and slice it..." Lily said casually, but before she could finish her words, the arm turned into black sand in her hand and scattered in the air with the wind.
Lily shook her head regretfully: "Well, we can't slice it now."
Nangong Wuyue looked at Hao Ren at a loss: "What should we do now?"
"Of course we can't just let him run away!" Hao Ren gritted his teeth and took out the data terminal from his arms to open the tracking screen, "I just threw in a probe and it should have passed through the gate smoothly... It seems that because of the space The influence of the turbulence failed to trace Baptiste himself, but he has successfully reached a different space. Vivian, come and see if this is purgatory?"
As Hao Ren spoke, he enlarged the image from the probe for Vivian to see. What I saw on the screen was a vast decadent and desolate world. The black earth was covered with disgusting rotten matter. Hot springs of various sizes were dotted on the surface. What was surging in the hot springs was as dirty as sludge. Dirty liquids and polluted gases spewed from these hot springs dyed the entire world into chaos. The probe is moving around in the different space, so the images transmitted continue to extend, but no matter where it extends, all everyone can see is the same unpleasant and bad scenery.
Although Vivian had never explored Purgatory in depth, she had glanced at the first floor of Purgatory out of curiosity. She immediately recognized the scenery inside: "Yes, this is the place. Can you send us in?"
"It's easy to teleport in, but Purgatory is an unstable space. To ensure safe travel, it's best to open a door." Hao Ren nodded, "Now the coordinates on both sides of the door are already there, and I also have the corresponding coordinates in my personal space. Equipment... give it some time, I'll be responsible for opening the door."
Hesiana finally looked at Hao Ren at this time: "I can't tell... you are quite reliable at critical moments, right?"
"He is quite reliable to begin with," Vivian glanced at her sideways, "It's because you are too biased."
At this time, Hao Ren had already taken out the general equipment needed to open the portal and several autonomous machines from his personal space. The general equipment is a silver-white platform with a radius of two meters and some supporting ancillary components. It is roughly similar to the transmitter in the basement of your home, only larger. This kind of thing is also one of the devices commonly used by censors: censors often have to go deep into barren places across the universe and deal with abnormal space phenomena a lot, so they often need to prepare general devices in this area. This device can not only be used to explore unknown areas, but also be used as a transportation channel in emergencies: small-scale personnel evacuation and material transfer can be completed by it.
Hao Ren didn't expect to use this thing to hunt down "fugitives".
Duncan and Cassandra stared dumbfounded at the strange equipment that Hao Ren took out like a magic trick. They knew that Hao Ren and his gang were abnormal, but this man could really surprise people all the time. However, since the two ancestors Vivian and Hesiana were watching from the side, the two curious vampires still didn't ask any more questions.
With two years of work experience, Hao Ren has matured a lot now. He does not shy away from letting people see his high-tech equipment in this situation - it is just some alien technology, nothing can be exposed.
The short-lived purgatory gate just now has formed an energy focus here. Although this energy focus is disintegrating, it can still be used as the basis for the activation of the new space gate, which can save a lot of time. Hao Ren directed the autonomous machinery to install the set of equipment in the large pit created by Baptiste. The mechanical squids worked very quickly, and it seemed that they could open the door without much effort.
"Speaking of which, in my long life, this is the first time I have seen this tactic of making holes on the battlefield." Vivian looked at Lily, who was tiptoeing in a daze not far away, "What on earth was she thinking at the time?" …”
"No matter how you think about it, it works," Hao Ren chuckled. "I guess there is no more unexpected tactic in the world than this - but only Lily can use it. Others can't dig holes like her." speed."
Lily's ears twitched and she turned her head smartly: "Are you talking bad about me?"
Hao Ren and Vivian said in unison: "No, I'm complimenting you."
Nangong Sanba stood on a big rock on the edge of the highland and looked in the direction of the town. The thick fog blocked his sight, but he could still vaguely sense the path that everyone had taken before. But soon he noticed that the situation had changed: "Look, the fog seems to have begun to lift!"
Just as he said, the thick fog that shrouded the entire ghost town was dissipating little by little. Although the sunlight still had not appeared, everyone could already see the situation in the distance. As time went by, the fog dissipated faster and faster. After just a few minutes, the outline of the small town in the distance was vaguely revealed from the fog.
"This fog should have been created by Baptiste...either his departure caused the fog to dissipate, or the staff that Lily broke just now also controls the entire barrier here," Vivian looked over. Looking in the direction of the town, he said, "It seems that the entire secret realm is larger than we initially expected. Look at the 'black edge' in the distance. That should be the real boundary of the secret realm, and the town is only the third one." One-fifth of the area, the vast wilderness outside, was also brought in.”
Hesiana looked surprised: "Who is this Baptiste? He actually created such a large-scale alien space by himself and maintained it for hundreds of years."
"It seems that if he wants, he can wipe out any city in the world out of thin air. It's hard to imagine that this power can be accumulated through normal study." Vivian shook her head, "But this guy's only purpose is I just want to go to purgatory... I've lost all my ability. What's so good about purgatory?"
Hao Ren didn't care what Baptiste's ambitions were. He just asked the data terminal to confirm the surrounding space data to confirm that the place would not collapse in a short time. Then he began to curiously look at the distant view of the entire Dumir Town. : An authentic medieval town, although a bit eerie, at least it is an exotic scene.
Then he saw a fire rising in the middle of the town.
"Look over there!" Lily shouted immediately, "The town is burning!"
