Chapter 127 Caged Bird
Chapter 127 Caged Bird
"Hahaha, it's too late, too late."
"You are dead. Prepare to become a sacrifice to the Great Black Devil."
Seeing the movements of Ivan and others outside the bone pit, Melinda and Allen in the pit showed disdainful and crazy smiles. As long as they sacrificed these people and the civilians outside to the Great Black Devil, they could obtain a large amount of pure spiritual power feedback and become official wizards in one fell swoop.
As expected, once the magic attacks launched by Ivan and others touched the light on the bone pit, it was like hitting a wall of glue, being blocked and beginning to melt rapidly.
Inside the bone pit, the apprentice's corpse remained unchanged, while the huge bodies of the two demonized beasts shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. The life essence they contained was being quickly extracted. It was obvious that they were being used as sacrificial items, which made people outside shudder with fear.
got windy.
A black wind blew up from the pit of bones, giving people an ominous feeling.
The black wind grew from small to large, from light to heavy, changing with every breath.
"What should we do?" Walban felt that he couldn't stay for long, as if he was late, something big might happen.
"Give me another half a minute." Heidi didn't dare to be distracted at all. She concentrated on communicating with the power of the outer protective array. As long as she could successfully attract that vast power, all the changes before her would be solved.
This is why the wizards in the academy are confident in handing things over to her, as she has the key power to smooth over the situation.
However, her token can only be used once, and this would be the perfect time.
Unfortunately, her speed could not keep up with the speed of the incident, and the wind began to blow in all directions.
This black wind contained a lot of weirdness, and it could shake everyone's mental strength. When hit by the wind, Heidi's mind was immediately disturbed, causing her expression to change drastically.
"withdraw!"
Walban noticed this and gave the order to retreat without hesitation.
Although Heidi was unwilling to give in, she took a look at the increasingly thick black wind in the bone pit and could only temporarily avoid the attack.
late!
It's too late!
As they began to move away, the black wind suddenly grew stronger and stronger, turning into a surging tornado that quickly swept towards the people around them. In the blink of an eye, it covered everything around, trying to pull them back into the pit of bones.
This time no one was spared, not even Heidi.
In the crowd, Ivan's head suddenly sank, as if he was back to the time when he broke through the third level. He suddenly couldn't feel the existence of his body. In another instant, he found himself again, but it was too late. His body had been caught in the black wind and was drifting with the wind.
He tried to struggle, but it was of no use. His body had no leverage and his mental strength was still being suppressed. He could only mobilize about 30%.
The situations of other people were no different. He saw quite a few figures, including the very powerful Walban and Melinda who had just initiated the sacrifice. This person had confusion and fear on his face, and was not as calm as before.
It seems that the two of them did not expect the current situation. Could there be other masterminds behind the scenes?
In the blink of an eye, Melinda was submerged in the black wind.
Except for the apprentice, all the surrounding stones, bones and other things were blown away by the black wind.
Ivan sighed, what is going on?
At the moment he could do nothing but drift with the wind, waiting for the wind to stop. The next second he felt himself bumping into something soft, and before he could react, a pair of long legs stretched out from behind and tightly wrapped around his waist.
"If we can calm down later, I'll need your help." This was Heidi's voice, and the two of them just bumped into each other.
"Okay." In such a situation, Ivan naturally had no other distracting thoughts.
After a long while, the two were thrown out together by the whirlwind, and returned to the ground in a mess, rolling into a ball.
On the side, Cook looked at the two people hugging each other in a weird posture, and his eyes widened. "Where is this?" Heidi pushed Ivan away and stood up quickly.
"I don't know. How could we tell the direction in the situation just now? But we should be trapped in some rune magic array." Cook shook his head. He arrived only one step earlier than the other two.
The two began to look around. All directions were blocked. The black wind turned into a cage, trapping them inside.
There were only three of them here, and the others must be in the same situation.
"It seems like we are really being used as sacrifices."
Considering what was said by the person who activated the formation before, they had no idea what was happening.
Heidi tried to use the token to communicate with the protective formation of the Kanda Magic Stone Mine. She tried several times, but finally shook her head dejectedly in the face of the two people's expectant gazes. The connection was cut off by the cage.
"If we can blast open a crack, perhaps we can draw the power of the Kanda Magic Stone Mine."
After hearing her say this, the three decided to give it a try. As a result, when their spells hit the black wind barrier, it seemed as if the spells were absorbed. The black wind barrier remained motionless, no matter how they tried.
Obviously this approach doesn't work.
"Let's take a break first, calm down, and think of other countermeasures." Ivan suggested.
"Okay." Heidi nodded.
She was actually feeling tired after the series of battles just now, so she sat down on the ground without hesitation, took a mental power replenishing potion in the left hand and a mana recovery potion in the right hand, and then began to meditate and rest for a while.
Ivan was not as rich as her, so he could only meditate and check his insect nest. Fortunately, he had been dodging during the previous battle, so his mental strength and magic power were not consumed much, and the insect nest was safe and sound.
If someone could see the entire rune magic array, they would find that there are four cages in total.
Including the corpses, the enchanting group, hunting team, and foreign apprentices, a total of twelve apprentices, were evenly dispersed into various cages, like prey to be slaughtered.
"Melinda, what's going on?"
In another cage, Alan, Melinda and the body of an apprentice were placed together. Alan looked at Melinda with anger on his face and was about to take action.
Logically speaking, they should be standing in the middle of the formation at this time, presiding over the sacrifice, instead of falling into the cages around them.
No one knows better than them what it means to be in prison.
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Melinda yelled. Her face looked very ugly at this moment. The final change was different from what she expected. "Am I not here with you? Do you think I want to?"
On second thought, Alan's expression relaxed a little.
"In the end, the formation lost control. It was like someone had taken it away. I suspect - I suspect -" Melinda calmed down a little. Thinking about what had just happened, she realized that there was something strange about it, which made her suspicious.
"Impossible, we have all witnessed and experienced it ourselves, the Great Black Demon cannot be fake," Allen retorted.
"Anyway, something is fishy." Melinda thought about everything carefully, but she couldn't figure out what was fishy, which made her very distressed.
Alan and Melinda discussed it for a while but couldn't come to a conclusion.
"Children, it seems that you have a lot of questions that you can't figure out."
When the two were confused, a somewhat familiar voice sounded beside them.
The two of them couldn't help but look over and found that a figure that only existed in their memory appeared not far away, looking at them with a smile on his face.
