Chapter 243 An Unexpected Person

The copper lamp monster has no words and cannot speak.

It took shape in an instant and rushed towards Colin at the same time!

Peng!

Under the dim red light, a little orange flame suddenly lit up from Colin's hand, then swelled in the wind, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a huge orange fireball, flying towards the copper lamp monster.

boom!

The copper lamp monster seemed to have no intelligence and did not dodge or dodge. It ran directly into the blazing fireball. Under the impact, both exploded.

The bright light produced lit up the entire dark red corridor!

Colin narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the afterglow of the explosion warily.

But until the embers of the flames disappeared and even the dust stirred up by the shock wave fell to the ground, the copper lamp monster was still missing.

Colin frowned and stepped forward.

Several broken pieces of dark copper lay quietly in the center of the fireball explosion. Perhaps due to the high temperature, there were still some traces of melting on them.

However, the degree of melting was not high and did not affect the identification. Colin could tell at a glance that this was the original shape of the monster just now - the remains of an oil lamp.

‘The bronze lamp monster... died like this? ’ Colin was a little dumbfounded.

The copper lamp monster's attack was so swift and violent that it caught people off guard. Not knowing its depth, he naturally used all his strength.

But even so, the bronze lamp monster... is too vulnerable.

"What a giant, you are so powerful!" Elf Naxi looked at these fragments and murmured in praise.

"Naxi, do you know where this is... huh?"

Withdrawing his gaze, Colin was about to ask the elf for information, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something noteworthy out of the corner of his eye.

They were a few dark copper-colored fragments, not far from the slightly melted oil lamp fragments in front of them.

They did not melt, and their shapes were clear and complete, so Colin could see at a glance——

They are also fragments of a copper oil lamp... Moreover, the fractures are smooth and flat, without any accumulation of dust.

At first glance, one can tell that it was broken into pieces only a few days ago.

‘There are other visitors here! ’ Colin reacted almost instantly.

If the oil lamp monster attacks everyone when they come here, it will leave fragments and remains after being eliminated.

There is no doubt that the fragments that can only be broken in two or three days at most represent that someone like him came here before him and killed the incoming oil lamp monster at the same time.

As for who this person is... Colin has a vague answer in his mind.

He subconsciously stroked the petals in the bag on his waist, and at the same time scanned the surroundings, searching carefully.

After a moment, Colin withdrew his gaze and walked towards the fragments of the bronze lamp.

There were no traces similar to the white flowers found nearby as he expected, but there were other traces——

A few withered vines have completely turned dark red.

Unlike the white flower, it is difficult to infer what witchcraft or natural magic was cast... The remains of these vines, especially the way they are entangled and bundled together, can easily be thought of as some kind of classic... Control magic - like vine entanglement or something like that.

Like white flowers, they are all about plant witchcraft...

Seeing this, Colin could almost make a conclusion in his mind.

The person who came here earlier and eliminated the copper lamp monster, and the person who left the white flowers on the grassland... are most likely the same person!

At the same time, Colin also faintly noticed another thing.

He subconsciously raised his right foot and moved his gaze to the sole of the boot.

The vines in front of them have all been dyed dark red, and they look obviously more contaminated than the white flowers.

If you look at this simply, it can only mean that the person came here first, and then left the white flowers outside... This inference is also logical.

But Colin had a vague feeling in his heart that that person should be heading towards the mountains just like him, and came here after leaving the white flowers behind!

But if this is the case, it can only mean that the pollution here is more intense than outside!

Sure enough, as he slowly raised his right foot, a bright red color suddenly caught Colin's eyes.

Colin looked solemn and raised his left foot.

On the thick gray boot sole on the left, just like the right, a bright red color appeared.

After doing this, before it was over, Colin took out the white flower on his waist.

This patch of white flowers that still had vitality turned completely dark red at some point!

‘A few hours ago, I checked the soles of my boots, and there was nothing unusual about them. At that time, nearly half of the white flowers were still white. ’

‘The pollution here…is indeed more intense than outside. ’

Colin couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. Although he showed no signs of being contaminated now, it was still unknown how long he could last.

The unknown...is also the scariest.

It's as if the sword is hanging above your head and you don't know when it will fall, which makes people feel anxious.

'Since that person is probably in front...'

Colin slowly raised his head. He stared at the corner of the corridor ahead that looked inexplicably mysterious under the light of red light. He hesitated in his heart whether to follow...

"Naxi, do you know where this place is?"

After a while, Colin chose to learn more information first. He turned to look at Naxi and asked.

"Here..." Naxi frowned, "Little Naxi doesn't know what this place is called."

'I don't know what it's called...'

Colin paused for a moment and asked two more questions:

"Little Naxi, is this still the same place? Have you been here before?"

"This is where it used to be, it's just a door opened... little Naxi hasn't been here before."

The elf replied with some confusion.

As if she was afraid that Colin wouldn't understand, she explained again:

"But this place is different from the place where little Naxi met the good giant. The door opened there is different. It has gone to another place, but it is still in the original place."

"Can you still open the door and take me out?"

"Of course you can." Little Naxi immediately replied, patting her chest, but as if thinking of the initial accident, a trace of panic flashed across her face, and she quickly tried to concentrate.

A little green light suddenly appeared from Naxi's slender fingertips, and then quickly expanded into a fist-sized aperture.

The elf tentatively went over to take a look, then flew back with a proud look on his face and emphasized:

"Look, what a giant, little Naxi can really open the door, isn't it amazing!"

Colin nodded, feeling relieved.

At least it's not a new desperate situation.

As for what Xiao Naxi explained before, although it was a bit vague, he almost understood it based on the knowledge he had learned.

If you guessed it correctly, the space here is a subspace, a companion subspace to the alien space outside that is suspected to be the kingdom of elves!

The alien space is like a huge bubble, attached to the boundary wall of the main plane.

Within different spaces, especially in some relatively large different spaces, there are usually many associated sub-spaces.

They overlap with parts of the different space, but do not interfere with each other.

The biggest difference is that they are included in the different space and are in a superimposed state, while the main plane and the different space are in different positions.

Therefore, if the elf is right, then this should be a subspace somewhere!

But thinking of this, Colin still has some doubts in his heart...

‘Why did I suddenly come to this dimension? ’

If this is the kingdom of elves, then these subspaces should be properly managed, with specific entrances and exits.

'Perhaps... it's because after the elves migrated from here, the subspace was not maintained, so they changed their positions, and then they happened to fall into it...'

boom--

Um? !

Just as Colin was thinking secretly, a slight crashing sound suddenly came from a distance.

The sound was extremely subtle, almost undetectable.

‘Is it an illusion? ’

Colin stopped thinking and subconsciously raised his ears.

boom!

Bang bang bang!

After listening carefully, with the powerful strength of the Ultimate Knight, he finally caught a slight but real sound.

He turned his head and looked at the corner of the corridor in front of him again. Under the dark red light, even the dark and deep shadows were tinged with red, making it weird.

"Let's go, Naxi!"

Colin let out a breath of turbid air, no longer hesitated, blessed himself with silence before the sound disappeared, and flew forward quickly.

Under the influence of silence, he was like a gray ghost, moving quickly and quietly through the dark red corridor!

Turning the corner, you are greeted by a tall arch. Even though it is a bit dilapidated at the moment, the original grandeur and splendor can still be seen.

The columns on both sides are tall, and the reliefs on the arches are exquisite. One of the two door panels is open at the moment, and the other is also half-open.

Through the open door, you can see a hall filled with tables and chairs. The tables and chairs are all different, but they are all exquisite and beautiful, full of artistic atmosphere.

This scene also made Colin more certain of his previous guess - this must be the companion subspace of the Elf Kingdom space.

Just like the dilapidated corridor, the gorgeous hall is also in a mess at the moment, with damaged and collapsed tables and chairs everywhere...

The center of the hall was also in a mess, with broken tables and chairs scattered everywhere, but what was incompatible with the surroundings was that these marks looked very fresh.

Colin cautiously entered the hall and crossed forward at a suitable speed.

However, it seemed that the previous visitor had cleared the obstacles, and no new monsters appeared until he flew out of the hall.

The same was true for the rest of the journey. Colin moved quickly in the direction of the sound, but he only saw traces of battles and never encountered other monsters.

It was precisely because of this that Colin, who had a clear road, almost reached the fastest speed.

In this way, about seven or eight minutes later, the sound of the fighting that had not stopped had become clearer... as if it was right in front of you!

Colin stared ahead.

The gorgeous and classical corridor extends to the outdoors here, becoming more intense. There is even a trace of purple light coming from above the outdoors, dividing the corridor into two distinct sections.

Colin fell down silently, and continued walking forward nimbly and quickly like a vigorous cat.

Soon, we arrived at the boundary between the outdoor and indoor areas of the corridor.

Since he had not learned any hidden voyeuristic skills, Colin took a deep breath and carefully stretched out a fragment of the bronze mirror from Margaret's storage ring from his feet.

The outdoor part of the corridor should be located in the courtyard. It seems to be to allow travelers to better get close to the complex plants that were originally in the courtyard but are now only remnants. The corridor has no railings, but only carved columns at every other section. .

Therefore, as soon as the bronze mirror is stretched out at this moment, the scene outside is immediately reflected on it.

'this……? ! ’

The next second, Colin could hardly suppress the shock in his heart when he saw the scene on the bronze mirror.

In the courtyard on the right side of the corridor, countless flower monsters made of paint, like copper lamp monsters, are currently besieging a young witch.

The number of those monsters is so large that they are almost inexhaustible... Witches are like boats in the storm, and may be destroyed by the surge at any time.

However, this is not the point!

Colin took a careful look at the appearance of the witch on the bronze mirror again.

Blonde hair, young and beautiful girl appearance...

‘Senior Lilian…? ’

Although he couldn't believe it, Super Brain still reminded Colin accurately of the appearance of Lilian's girl whom he had only seen once during that advanced night!

‘No, not necessarily! ’ Colin’s face suddenly darkened, he let out a breath of turbid air, put back the bronze mirror, and temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​​​going out for support.

boom!

The sound of fighting outside became more and more intense, and it was also mixed with the muffled groan of pain from the wizard.

There was a look of struggle on Colin's face, and he suddenly thought of the elf armor he was wearing - it was given to him by mentor Atbold when he parted, and the mentor was senior Lillian's grandfather.

Colin thought of the strange situation that had crossed the barrier before, and suddenly felt that Lilian's appearance here was not an unacceptable thing.

What's more, no matter whether the wizard in front of him is Lilian or not, as long as she comes from the outside world, it represents the hope of leaving!

If you see the opponent being destroyed right now, then you may not be able to deal with the monster in front of you alone.

Uh-huh!

The thoughts in my heart went through like lightning.

Colin took a deep breath, took small steps, and drank at the same time:

"Senior Lillian, let me help you!"

Teng!

A huge blazing fireball shot forward!

"Colin?!"

Lilian turned around, surprise showing on her embarrassed face.

Unlike the young Colin, as a veteran first-level wizard, she subconsciously performed the detection witchcraft.

"It's really you?" Lilian was even more surprised. She had never thought that she would meet an acquaintance in this place, and it was also Colin!

Colin was about to speak.

Click click click——

But the flower monster next to him would not stop attacking because of the meeting between the two, and a monster rushed towards Lillian!

"Be careful!" Colin warned subconsciously and waved his hand again to shoot a fireball.

boom!

The flower monster shattered in response.

Colin was about to step forward and continue to help.

"Don't come over!" However, Lilian quickly stopped.

"The monsters that can be produced in the garden here are endless, and they will increase with the number of intruders. After you come in, within three to five seconds at most, a large number of monsters will appear. If no one stops, none of us will escape. Not coming out.”

Colin was startled.

But the next moment, he suddenly had a countermeasure in his mind.

"Senior, I have a way! Trust me, just run away later!"

Lillian glanced back at Colin, showing hesitation, but finally nodded vigorously.

Teng!

The next moment, a huge fireball slowly moved towards Lilian.

Teng!

The next second, another one appeared.

Colin cast three fireballs in succession in one breath!

These three fireballs were connected like a long snake, opening a passage for Lilian.

"Senior, try to get to the edge of the garden now!"

"The closer I get to the edge, the more monsters there will be." Lilian said quickly, but without hesitation, she walked out along the path of the fireball.

As she said.

As her position got closer to the edge of the garden, dense new monsters emerged from the ground and blocked her path.

In just a moment, those fireballs were crumbling under the successive attacks of the monsters.

Moreover, the strength of monsters is also increasing rapidly.

Colin's eyes were focused, now was the most critical moment.

Teng!

Behind Lilian, the first fireball that had penetrated deep into the garden suddenly expanded and stretched. After a moment, a fire element suddenly appeared.

As Colin thought, the sudden appearance of this new intruder really changed the entire garden.

The fire element attracted great firepower, and countless monsters continued to pour out.

The next moment, Lilian was the first to feel the change.

Of the monsters in front of you, once you kill one, half of them will appear immediately, but now only half of them appear, and the speed of reappearance has become slower!

As a result, the number of monsters in front of her finally stopped increasing and began to decrease!

Lilian seized the opportunity and moved forward.

However, the trapped fire element did not last long, and was quickly extinguished like a candle by countless garden monsters.

But Colin had already responded. He squeezed his own magic power, and soon, the second fireball also turned into a fire element.

In this way, relying on the attraction of the fire element.

Lilian finally crossed the short distance of tens of meters in the garden with difficulty and successfully escaped.
