Chapter 321: Cold Black Mist and Scorching Sun

Under the gloomy sky, a tug-of-war took place.

Although the Octopus Ancient God is stronger and has a weird attack section, it is difficult to achieve any results in the face of a fully equipped crusade team.

As for the crusade team, it was also very difficult to deal with the Octopus Ancient God.

Wounds kept appearing on their bodies, and within a short period of time, they were healed by the strong priest.

Anyway, in the eyes of Ryan, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, this was a process of "mutual grinding".

Whether the Octopus Ancient God can't hold on first or whether the crusade team runs out of energy will determine the final outcome of this battle.

After a brief observation, Ryan's eyes mainly focused on the ancient octopus god.

The power this guy has is very interesting.

It is obviously different from spirituality, and different from the power of the abyss. How should I put it, it is somewhat similar to magic, but there is a big gap.

Hmm... similar to a variant of the power of the abyss, with properties that tend to be dark, corrosive, etc.?

And the power of the crusade team is also very interesting.

Although the manifestations are different, generally speaking, the nature tends to be bright and sacred.

From this point of view, the ninth-level existence in this world is quite interesting...

Ryan's eyes were full of interest.

The Golden Tree uses the [Golden Law] to control the extraordinary path. To a certain extent, it also uses the wisdom of the entire world to explore every detail of the extraordinary path, thereby deducing a higher realm.

This is similar to the way swordsmanship that transcends realms attempts to break through.

The power of the ancient god and the power of light used by the Octopus Ancient God and the crusade team also have a similar flavor.

It was as if two opposing ninth orders spread their own power seeds across the world, creating two opposing ethnic groups, trying to deduce a higher realm of power in endless battles.

That is to say...

"The ninth-level existence in this world is antagonistic?"

"Or maybe the ninth-level existence in this world is confronting the ninth-level existence coming from the outside world, that is, the most powerful ancient god?"

Ryan spread his thoughts and speculated on the situation of the world based on past experience.

But he always felt that this world was not as simple as he imagined.

As time goes by, the situation gradually tilts in the direction of the Octopus Ancient God.

This guy's recovery ability is quite amazing, and there is something like a "pollution halo" within a certain range centered on its body, which causes the members of the subjugation team to suffer more and more damage as time goes by, until , the strong pastor can’t even come back with milk.

It seems that the results are about to come out...

Ryan shook his head and prepared to take action.

Although these people gave him a "welcome" thunder gun when he first arrived, on the whole, they were not bad people. Compared to the Ancient Octopus God, they were at least humane. We couldn't watch them die here.

But just as he was about to take action, Ryan felt something and paused slightly.

At the same time, Crystal Loli, who was protected by everyone in the center, took a deep breath. As if she had made some determination, she took out a mask-like thing from the space bag on her waist and put it on her face. .

The mask has a simple style, with an abstract sun mark between the eyebrows.

When the other three members of the subjugation team saw Crystal Loli's move, their expressions changed: "Alora, don't!"

It's a pity that from seeing to shouting, they were a little slow after all.

The next moment, extremely powerful red gold light erupted from Crystal Loli's body.

Wherever the light passes, the space is distorted sharply, and the beach on the ground appears reddish-red due to the heat of thousands of degrees.

Knowing that he could not stop him, the strong priest gritted his teeth and held up a small shelter to protect the armored man and the middle-aged man with the wallet. At the same time, he shouted at Ryan in the distance: "Go!"

On the other side, the Ancient Octopus God also stopped what he was doing and looked at this loli whose aura suddenly changed with fear.

"Who...are you?"

A strange accent sounded, but everyone present could understand it.

Unfortunately, the masked Crystal Loli had no intention of speaking.

She flew up from the large crystal, her whole body suspended in mid-air. The strong flames formed beating red-gold flames around her, and her original long pale golden hair turned into fluorescent red at this moment.

She opened her palm and pointed it at the Ancient Octopus God. The next moment, the Ancient Octopus God's eyes bulged, and a pillar of red gold flames had penetrated its body and stretched backwards, leaving a thousand-meter-long streak on the sea. The steam channel, the sea water in it, was evaporated in an instant.

The ancient octopus god's wound was filled with red flames that kept beating, causing it to cry out in pain: "This, this is?!"

"You humans are crazy! You even dare to get your hands on this thing!"

A roar of pain mixed with an angry curse came from the mouth of the Ancient Octopus God. It seemed to be aware of the source of the power of the red-gold flame and hurriedly prepared to escape.

However, it was too late.

A Lolita with flying red gold hair appeared behind it and inserted one hand into its back.

"Click."

There was a sound as if something was being forcibly tightened. Starting from where Crystal Loli's hand fell, dense golden-red veins spread to every corner of the Ancient Octopus God's body.

The ancient octopus god who was trying to escape stiffened up, with uncontrollable fear in his eyes. Immediately, Crystal Loli's right hand suddenly pulled out, and a dark, ink-like heart that resembled a heart, but was actually some kind of crystal, was caught by her. Just pull it out.

The light in the eyes of the Ancient Octopus God completely dimmed, and his body began to petrify from the feet up, turning into a gray-white stone sculpture in a very short period of time.

Holding the black heart crystal in one hand, Crystal Loli turned around and her eyes fell on the three strong priests inside the shield. There was a flash of struggle in the red-gold pupils.

But soon, this humane emotion was suppressed by the red gold flame and became indifferent.

The red gold flame ignited, and Crystal Loli raised her palm to face the three priests under the shield.

"Almost."

A gentle voice sounded.

Ryan appeared next to Crystal Loli and tapped her shoulder lightly with the knife.

The next moment, the powerful Crystal Loli rolled her eyelids and fainted.

At the same time, the mask on her face also fell off, and at the edge of the mask, there were red tentacles twisting in panic, trying to escape.

But soon, Ryan's hand pinched the mask, causing it to completely freeze.

The three strong priests not far away stared blankly at the scene in front of them, feeling that their world view had been impacted like never before.

…

After a while, a barbecue grill was set up on the edge of the beach.

Several large octopus tentacles were placed on top, and they were roasted by the flames, making a "sizzling" sound of oil coming out.

The burly priest, the middle-aged man in the leather jacket and the man in armor sat together in a somewhat reserved manner, like students sitting in rows in front of a teacher.

Ryan took a bite of the grilled octopus tentacles, and then spat it out with a "poof" sound.

Isn’t this too unpalatable?

It tastes good, but the taste is too weird.

With just one bite, Ryan put the octopus-type ancient god on his forbidden list.

Throwing away the grilled octopus tentacles in his hand, Ryan looked at the three strong priests and smiled.

Just as he was about to say something, the strong pastor, who was so frightened by his "smile", fell to the ground and said, "Excuse me, sir. I, we... will definitely compensate you, and please forgive us." ”

Forehead……

Ryan was speechless.

The burly pastor looked tall and majestic, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be a man with such a strong desire to survive.

Looking at the other two people who were about to imitate, Ryan's mouth twitched slightly and he waved his hand: "I didn't want to do anything to you."

"You must have noticed that I am a traveler visiting your world, so I would like to ask what the situation is like here. Why do you even have such a thing as an ancient god?"

"Besides, you guy, the communicator hidden in your cuff should be something similar. You can leave it alone. I don't mean any harm to you."

Hearing Ryan's words, the burly priest straightened up without changing his expression, with a respectful expression on his face: "My lord, you misunderstood. I just informed the recovery team to come over and deal with the ancient god Alpheus... cough cough , which is what you call the Ancient Octopus God."

"The Ancient God, even after death, still contains extremely terrifying pollution. If it is not handled properly, the consequences will be disastrous."

Ryan was noncommittal and lightly tossed the mask in his hand.

"In addition, about our world..." The strong man priest smiled helplessly: "We often have visitors coming here. There are many visitors like you, and those like you who are able to communicate may wish to come back to Sanctuary City with us. Later, the city lord will communicate with you in person?”

"You must have noticed that the black mist in the air is infecting our bodies and souls all the time. If we don't go back in time, the consequences will be very serious."

Ryan frowned slightly.

Of course he felt the infection of the black mist, but the intensity of the infection was too low. To him, it was no different than nothing.

But looking at the faces of several people turning pale, I thought this thing would be quite harsh to deal with.

"Okay."

Ryan said nonchalantly: "It just so happens that I also have something I want to talk to someone like you who can talk to me."

"Thank you for your understanding." The strong pastor breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't tell the strength of the young man in front of him, but even Alola, who was wearing the "Fire Mask", was subdued by this man's move. His strength was far beyond his imagination.

But no matter how powerful this person is, once he enters the city of refuge, he will definitely not be the opponent of the city lord.

Of course, the burly pastor doesn't have any bad intentions.

It's just that he, who has been walking on the edge of danger all year round, instinctively wants to return to the safe place in his heart when facing danger.

Ryan saw through it without saying anything, he just smiled and threw the crystal loli to them, but the flame mask was still in his hand.

The three strong pastors turned a blind eye to this.

"I don't know what you call me, sir. My name is Rasul, and I am the captain of the fifth exploration team of Asylum City. These two are my teammates. The one in armor is named Oleg, and the one in leather jacket is named Hughes."

"As for the girl you just saved, her name is Allura."

"Just call me Zifeng." Ryan habitually used his previous pseudonym.

"Lord Zifeng." The strong priest nodded: "Please come with me. Sanctuary City is not very far from here, but it is still hundreds of kilometers away. If you cannot return before dark, it will be very dangerous in the wild."

"The concentration of black fog will increase dozens of times at night."

After some explanations, the strong pastor took out a whistle from his pocket and blew it hard.

With a loud whistle, a carriage made of physical energy appeared.

"Lord Zifeng, please."

"On the way, I will give you a preliminary introduction to the situation in Sanctuary City."

……

After driving for several hours, the energy carriage gradually calmed down.

Ryan got off the carriage and looked at the Sanctuary City in front of him with a flash of admiration in his eyes.

The outer wall of the Sanctuary City is built of black rocks over a hundred meters high. Some kind of spells should be engraved inside, which makes it have a series of functions such as magic suppression, solidity, and purification.

Through the city wall, you can see the chimneys that are taller than the city wall, emitting thick smoke.

In addition to the chimneys, the most conspicuous position in the entire Sanctuary City is the city lord tower that is a thousand meters high in the center of the city.

At the top of the city lord tower, there is a huge cluster of flames, burning and emitting heat. From a distance, it looks like a miniature sun.

With his eyes fixed on the city lord tower, Ryan's mind emerged with the basic situation of this world that the strong priest introduced to him along the way.

The name of this world is unknown, but because there are often visitors from the outside world and the ancient gods are rampant, let's call it the ancient god world.

The sky of the ancient god world is covered with black fog all year round. Only the "Torch Cities" built on dangerous land are the pure land where humans can live.

Originally, this world was not like this.

But since the ancient god first descended thousands of years ago, everything has changed.

Pollution, curse, degeneration, darkness, decay...

This world has become devastated, and humans, and even other creatures, are only a few thousand.

Fortunately, the ancient gods need humans as slaves, so they did not kill them all, but kept the remaining humans in captivity as "livestock".

The Dark Age lasted for hundreds of years until the sky covered with black fog was torn apart by a sudden scorching sun.

The battle between the cold black fog and the extremely scorching sun lasted for hundreds of years and continues to this day.

The followers of the cold black fog are the ancient gods, while the extremely scorching sun is a powerful individual called the "Sun God Clan".

In this process, humans were saved and protected by the flames, and have survived until now, and gradually have improved.

And the Torch Cities were built in this process.

The battle between the cold black fog and the extremely scorching sun caused the space wall of this world to become very strange. Some places are very thick, but some places are very thin. People from the outside world often come to this world.

Gradually, the Torch Cities became the bridgeheads for communication between this world and the outside world.

When Ryan heard this, his mouth twitched.

I think he should be the "lucky guy" who hit the extremely thick world wall.
