Chapter 1373 - 1373 The Impact
1373 The Impact
Ji Xiaobo saw that the time was almost up and quickly gave a look at the people beside him.
Whoosh!
More than a dozen necromancers stopped casting their spells at the same time, and the barrier blocking the entrance of the fallen corridor instantly disappeared!
What?!
Outside, everyone, including Qiu Hai’s team of soldiers, was stunned. Viona’s pupils constricted.
!!
It was completely different from what they had expected.
The moment the barrier disappeared, not only did a high concentration death realm aura not gush out from the fallen corridor, but the undead aura that had acc.u.mulated in the outside world poured into the fallen corridor in the opposite direction!
This extremely strange contrast made the Holy Paladins who were maintaining their battle stance stand rooted to the ground for half a second.
What was going on?
Could it be…
Qiu Hai stared at the entrance of the fallen corridor in front of him, and a strange thought appeared in his mind.
Could it be that the aura of the death realm in the entire fallen corridor had been cleaned up?
The aura of the death realm outside was actually denser than that inside, so this was why the aura of the death realm surged into the fallen corridor.
Qiu Hai turned his head and looked straight at Ji Xiaobo.
Was it this kid? What did he do?
If he really had the ability, why didn’t he solve the problem earlier? Why did he have to do this only now?
Hehe.
Ji Xiaobo couldn’t hide the smugness on his face when he saw the expressions on the faces of the people from the Holy Court.
If it weren’t for the fact that there were outsiders present, he would have laughed out loud long ago.
The Holy Paladins of the Holy Court gradually came back to their senses. They looked at each other and then at Viona.
Two hours ago, they had clearly seen the fallen corridor filled with a high concentration of the aura of the death realm.
Viona stared at the entrance of the fallen corridor and her expression became grave. She knew very well that something must have gone wrong inside the fallen corridor.
What exactly went wrong?
If the Necromancer a.s.sociation had the ability to deal with the aura of the death realm, they would have done so long ago. Why did they have to wait for them?
Was there such a need?
The gentleness on Viona’s face disappeared for the first time and turned into a serious expression. She waved her hand to stop the release of the holy barrier and said, “Let’s go in and take a look at the situation of the death realm crevice.”
“Yes, sir!”
The guardian knights of the Holy Court had ashen expressions as they escorted Viona into the fallen corridor.
Qiu Hai also waved his hand, signaling for the Federation soldiers to continue. He also wanted to know what happened inside the fallen corridor!
Qiu Hai quickened his pace and walked to Ji Xiaobo’s side, asking in a low voice, “What did you do?”
Naturally, Ji Xiaobo wouldn’t betray his teammates. He chuckled, “Hehe, I can’t reveal the secrets of the heavens. Anyway, it’s Brother Fang’s suggestion. We work together. He’s the main force, and I’m the support.”
“Fang Heng?”
Qiu Hai raised his eyebrows when he heard that. Then, he suddenly understood and had a feeling that this was the case.
If it was Fang Heng, it would make sense.
He raised his head and looked at the group from the Holy Court who was rushing toward the center of the fallen corridor. He suddenly felt a trace of sympathy for them.
Fang Heng and Ji Xiaobo were two time bombs that specialized in causing trouble, and their explosive power was multiplied by several times. The Holy Court was really unlucky to encounter them.
The deeper the party went into the fallen corridor, the lower the concentration of the aura of the death realm around them.
It had even reached an unbelievably low level!
The faces of the Holy Court’s group turned darker and darker, while Qiu Hai’s mood became better and better.
Good fellow!
Had the aura of the death realm in the fallen corridor been cleared to this extent?
How did they do it?
He thought about the results of the half-month wait.
The missions a.s.signed by the higher-ups could also be successfully completed.
Qiu Hai’s mood gradually became uneasy.
He arrived at the central hall of the fallen corridor, where the death realm crevice was.
Everyone stopped again and carefully stood at the entrance of the hall to size up the inner area.
Where was the death realm crevice?
In the middle of the pitch-black hall, a figure could be vaguely seen standing. Beside him was a tall, semi-spherical object.
Whoosh!
Viona gently raised her hand, and the ball of light appeared in her palm. It slowly rose into the sky, illuminating the entire hall.
It was Fang Heng!
Qiu Hai’s eyes lit up when he saw the person in the middle of the hall.
Beside him was …
It was a semi-spherical building made of brick walls. It was about a meter tall and surrounded the original location of the death realm crevice.
To everyone’s surprise, only a tiny amount of the aura of the death realm was leaking out from the crack in the stone bricks.
What was going on? The death realm crevice was sealed in the stone bricks?
The people from the Holy Court looked at Fang Heng in unison, their eyes revealing a vigilant look.
Qiu Hai immediately looked at Fang Heng and shouted out, “Fang Heng!”
“Officer Qiu, you’re here too.”
Fang Heng smiled and nodded at Qiu Hai, “Sorry, I ran into some trouble in the game trial and was delayed for a long time. I came over to help as soon as I came out.”
Qiu Hai walked up and looked at the building that looked like a fortress made of stone bricks next to Fang Heng. His eyes revealed doubt and admiration. He didn’t bother to chat with Fang Heng and asked directly, “Fang Heng, what is this?”
“Oh, you mean this? It’s a magic array that I accidentally found during the trial. It can absorb a large amount of the aura of the death realm. I thought it might be useful, so I memorized it. I tried it immediately after I came back. As expected, the effect is quite good.”
Li Shaoqiang and the soldiers of the Empire brought by Qiu Hai looked at Fang Heng silently, as if they were listening to him brag.
Qiu Hai also knew that Fang Heng was talking nonsense.
The barbarian realm’s trial? There was no magic array that could absorb the aura of the death realm!
But was that important?
Qiu Hai didn’t care about this and asked, “Fang Heng, how long can the magic array last?”
“A long time. At least six or seven days.”
Qiu Hai’s pupils constricted a few times when he heard this. His expression changed as he raised his hand.
The Federation soldiers behind shouted in unison, “Yes, sir!”
“Pa.s.s down the order. Seal off the fallen corridor and guard the sealed fortress 24/7. No one is allowed to approach without my permission!”
“Understood!”
The two Federation teams immediately went forward and surrounded the fortress to protect it.
Viona’s expression changed several times. She took half a step forward and said, “Commander Qiu Hai, this is different from what we agreed on.”
“I’m sorry.”
Qiu Hai said apologetically, but his expression didn’t show any signs of remorse. He said coldly, “As a commander, I have the right to make a judgment based on the current situation. Opening the seal again will lead to uncontrollable consequences. I will not allow anyone to destroy the stability of our Eastern region.”
“Good! Officer Qiu is right!”
It was rare to see Qiu Hai so unyielding. Ji Xiaobo, who was hiding in the crowd, shouted out loud and took the lead to applaud.
Qiu Hai turned around and gave Ji Xiaobo a cold glance. The latter’s face froze, and everyone fell silent.
