Chapter 249 Danger, Opportunity
Crown and his partner bent over, leaning on their knees with their hands, breathing heavily.
The straight-line distance from this place to the meteorite crater is not far, but the two of them have consumed a lot of physical strength and energy.
The evil of this polluted land is obviously different from the evil god that Crown encountered in York Town. York Town showed strong spiritual pollution, while the spiritual pollution here is not very strong, but it can give people strong psychological hints.
Let the creatures that set foot on this land move closer to the meteorite crater and absorb the vitality of the creatures. The vitality of the organisms in this area also passes very quickly.
The purpose of the evil god in York Town is to distort the creatures and transform them into evil god servants. The evil creatures here are to suck the marrow from the bones and devour everything of the prey.
Fortunately, Crown believes that the creature is far from reaching the level of the evil god, otherwise they should have been a handful of dust when they came into close contact with the meteorite.
Looking at the gradually changing landform boundary in front of him, Crown's breathing gradually became even, and the consumed physical strength began to slowly recover.
"How are you now? Can you walk?"
Nick shook his head and responded breathlessly: "I need to recover for a while."
He took out a bottle of holy water and drank it, then lay down without any image:
"Just now I felt that if I lay down, I would never be able to stand up again, but now I don't have that feeling.
What should we do next? The airship crashed and we couldn't contact the archbishop in time."
I thought today's mission was a relatively low-risk exploration mission, but I didn't expect it to turn into a life-and-death escape in the end.
"At present, it seems that the monster hidden in the meteorite has no ability to walk independently and can only move in this abnormal area, so don't worry about it for now, just hold on and wait for help."
Crown sat on the ground and summoned a golden wall. When he released the golden light, he felt a lot of feedback and now he had to confirm the actual situation.
[Golden Light Spell: 53173/100000; Level 2]
Fortunately, it was not without gain. He consumed a lot of Sunfire Liquid and increased his proficiency by more than 3,000 points. Although he took a big risk, he finally came out alive.
Unfortunately, the crew of the airship and the two priests accompanying them became food for the evil creatures for no apparent reason.
Clown found a shadow, crossed his legs, and began to visualize the Golden Light Mantra.
Clearing his mind, the bright moon shone on him, and then he found that there were many more light spots of different colors on the full moon, like snowflakes that could not be cleared on a TV, with a "sizzling" noise.
'The influence of that thing has not ended yet. '
Clown lost the mind of visualization after a sudden enlightenment. They were not far away from the meteorite now, and they could not relax at all. They had to move away as soon as possible and then try to remove the influence.
He opened his eyes and prepared to call Nick to leave immediately.
He saw that Nick had sat up and stared at the crystallized and twisted grass in a daze.
He took a step forward and checked his teammate's eyes. He found that the other party's eyes were rational, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Nick sighed slightly, pointed to the front and said:
"Just now I was psychologically suggested again, Fanny was calling me to enter again.
After I broke free from this suggestion, I checked my condition. I was spiritually polluted, not seriously but very hidden. You also felt this pollution, right?"
"Yes, let's go, leave as soon as possible, the farther the better."
I don't know whether they will be psychologically suggested when they are close to this area, or whether they are affected by the evil mark. Anyway, the farther they run, the safer they will be.
The two of them determined the direction and left quickly.
In the meteorite crater, a funnel-shaped light band rose.
The light band rolled and twisted, showing different colors every second, and the branches of the crystallized tree also lit up with colorful phosphorescence, magnificent and evil.
When Clown and the other person walked farther and farther away, the light band returned to the meteorite, and all the visions disappeared immediately, as if everything just now was a dream bubble.
Clown and the other person ran all the way, and the trampled weeds and thorns told that someone had just passed by.
The two men came to the mining area, entered it and asked for two war horses.
Watt, the head of the mining area, was full of doubts, wondering what the two bishops were doing, and they made themselves so embarrassed.
The bishops' hair and faces were covered with a layer of floating dust flashing in different colors, their clothes were also dirty, and their pants were torn by something.
Crown described the topography and plant characteristics of the meteorite area and warned:
"Pass the order down, a strong pollution source has been found in the southwest of the mining area, and no one is allowed to enter the polluted area."
"Yes, sir."
Watt understood that the bishops had gone to the polluted area, and he never expected that the two bishops were almost killed by the pollution source.
"We must pay attention to it, that area is very dangerous."
Nick warned again, and then the two bishops got on their horses and marched towards Hammers City.
After returning to the central church of the Sanctuary, Nick said:
"I'll prepare the purification ceremony and praise the Lord of Fire. We still have a few high-level materials stored. I'll find you two."
Crown shook his head: "Not for now."
He wanted to try to use the Golden Light Spell to remove the pollution first, maybe there would be unexpected gains.
"Okay, if you need anything, let me know at any time. I'll go prepare the ceremony."
Nick knew that his friend had a special physique and could make a potion to remove pollution, so he didn't say much.
The two separated, and Crown returned to his room, sinking his consciousness into the sea of consciousness.
As he expected, there were countless phosphorescent light spots in the sea of consciousness, and these light spots continued to approach the three "stars" in the sea of consciousness.
The Hourglass of Time and the Fire Cube are more or less attached to some light spots.
The only thing that is not contaminated is the gold and silver crystal ball that represents the golden light spell. The crystal ball radiates two different kinds of light outwards, and the phosphorescent points that are close to it are slowly purified.
Once you leave that highly polluted area, you won't suffer continuous pollution, and you may be able to complete self-purification just by relying on your will of light.
Croun breathed a sigh of relief. This proved that he was not defenseless against the unknown evil thing inside the meteorite.
It's still too weak. If I had silver-level strength or a Sun Thunder Seal, I might be able to inflict heavy damage on that evil thing.
Crown rubbed his temples to relieve his tired spirit, and then began to meditate on the golden light spell.
The bright moon shone silently, and those phosphorescent spots interfered again. He suppressed his discomfort and continued to visualize...
Two hours later, Crown finished his visualization, got up, moved his hands and feet, and took a short rest.
Now the colorful phosphorescent spots during his visualization have been reduced, and every time he completes a cycle of visualization, he will feel some warm currents dissipating into his body.
He summoned the golden wall and checked the proficiency of the Golden Light Spell, and found that it already had 53,489 points.
Yes, two hours of visualization will give me more than 200 points of proficiency than normal. If I can ensure my own safety and go to the polluted area every day, my proficiency in the Golden Light Spell will increase rapidly.
The contaminated area was dangerous, but it might turn into an opportunity, and Crown began to think about the possibilities.
The Sun Thunder Seal requires Warm Jade, which cannot be obtained in a short time, so the most realistic option is advanced silver.
He still had some molten fire potions in his hand, and taking Nisei could also improve his proficiency in breathing techniques. He felt that it would not be difficult to raise the flame breath to the critical point in a short period of time.
When the creature advances to silver, it will be improved in all aspects, and it should be able to fight against the evil things in the meteorite.
Crown decided to wait for the Archbishop to test the depth of the evil before executing his plan.
Before that, he only needed to consume all the molten fire potion in his hand.
Having determined his goal and his body relaxed a lot, he continued to meditate on the Golden Light Mantra, first purifying the remaining pollution in his body, and then swallowed the proficiency in his mouth.
. . . .
Rhine City, Holy Fire Cathedral.
Flanders stood in front of the window, watching the hurried passers-by in the church.
On the day when the strange celestial phenomenon occurred, he dispatched two airships to participate in the search.
One of the airships has returned. They discovered the contaminated area from a distance and immediately came back to report it. The area was 120 kilometers away from the Rhine City in a remote mountainous area.
There was also an airship heading to Hamers City, which was closer to the Rhine City, but no news came back.
Two days have passed, and they will still get assistance from Hamers City, so there is no reason for anything to happen.
He comforted himself in his heart, but the ominous premonition in the Archbishop's heart became stronger and stronger.
Unable to wait here any longer, Flanders called his personal guards and ordered:
"Notice it down and ask all the bishops who remain in the city to come and hold an emergency meeting."
"As you command, Archbishop."
Soon, all the available bishops were present in the church conference room.
Flanders stood up and said in a deep voice:
"Bishops, after a strange celestial phenomenon occurred in the early morning two days ago, I immediately dispatched two airships..."
He briefly explained his arrangements and subsequent feedback, and then said:
"I need to go to Hamers City immediately. During my absence, Cavendi and Daniel will be jointly responsible for church affairs."
Savazi stood up and said, "Archbishop, I am willing to go together so that we can take care of each other."
Flanders shook his head. If his guess was correct, a third-level transcendent wouldn't be able to help much.
"I can do it alone. Please maintain order in Rhine City."
After arranging everything, Flanders left immediately.
Cavendi felt a little uneasy. His son-in-law worked in Hamers City and he didn't know if it was safe. If something happened to the other party, his daughter...
Under the setting sun, the roar of the airship filled the sky above Hamers City.
In the office, Nick was overjoyed, thinking that support had finally arrived!
Crown also heard the noise of the airship. After finishing the visualization cycle, he walked out of the room and found Nick already waiting at the door.
“Let’s go to the landing field, the Archbishop must be here.
Now you will know what kind of monster is lurking there. "
