Chapter 459: The Evil of Horror
Chapter 459: The Evil of Horror
There are not many level three wizards who are fortunate enough to participate in the exploration of the astral realm. There are only seven people, divided into two teams. In addition to Ivan's team, the other team is in a certain protective area. They are not ordinary young wizards.
Ivan and the other two were closely guarded by Hotes, while the other four could only rely on themselves.
However, there are so many arcane wizards around and they are not far away, so I don't think there will be any big problems.
After the Star Gate was successfully activated, the arcane wizards kept throwing something into the spacious door. After a long time passed, there was still a vast chaos in there, and there was no obvious movement.
"Boss, why don't you go to the front? In fact, you don't have to guard us. We, the Five-Colored Demon Robes, are not vegetarians." Morris couldn't help but hissed.
Hotes used his own power to isolate himself, so he was not afraid of disturbing others.
He was bored and wondered if the boss was protecting himself and Ivan, or Tanya next to him? What was the relationship between the two? This question was worth pondering.
"Either shut up or say something valuable. You are not here to chat." Hotes glared at him.
Maurice shrank his neck, then winked at Ivan secretly, his expression was more eloquent than words.
Ivan glanced at him speechlessly. How could he still be in the mood to gossip at this time?
Ivan ignored him so as not to ruin his impression among the arcane wizards.
"There's some movement."
After a while, Hotes took the initiative to speak out a reminder.
Almost at the same time as he spoke, a red glow appeared on the gate of the Star Realm, indicating that there were changes there, and violent waves also happened to be set off inside the gate.
"Well done!"
President Doradoli took the lead and raised his hand heavily towards the empty space in front of him.
The confrontation was over in an instant, and he saw a special net in his hand. The fine net tightly wrapped the creature that had poked out of the star gate. The creature's true appearance was revealed only at this second.
A long snake covered with strange star patterns.
The long snake had more than a dozen finger-thick bodies, each with a snake head, and the whole body was in a special transparent state. No matter how cunningly the snake hid, it was caught in the trap of President Doradoli.
"Be careful." Hattie Xia Luoxi reminded.
"I know. In my hands, this thing can't do anything." Doradoli understood what he meant and didn't try to be stubborn. He immediately mobilized the prepared forces around him and tried his best to suppress the thing in his hand.
Suppression, sealing, disinfection, purification, etc., this set of processes was done very well until the snake was sealed up.
However, Doradoli treated a small snake so seriously that some people behind were confused, especially Morris. If the boss hadn't told him to shut up, he would have asked questions long ago.
Of course, Hotes noticed his puzzled look.
"You don't think the Star Gate is just a simple gate, do you?"
"Connecting to the Star River is only its most basic function. It can also emit a certain kind of power light as bait to attract creatures from a large area nearby. Otherwise, think about it, given the vastness of the Star River, the exploration efficiency would be much lower."
"Secondly, the Star Gate can leverage the power of the world of Danera, causing creatures that cross over to be strongly suppressed, temporarily suppressing their power to between 50% and 10%, and suppressing their bodies to a very small size.
In other words, this long snake that can become invisible may look only this small, but its actual size is definitely beyond your expectations."
After listening to Hotes' explanation, the three of them suddenly understood.
No wonder that snake just now looked so uncoordinated!
What kind of star gate is this? It's clearly a death trap used for hunting.
"However, this arrangement consumes a huge amount of energy, so much that it hurts the arcane wizards, so it can't last too long. When you go forward to try your luck, the bait will be removed first, and the suppression force on the door will depend on the situation, and may retain one tenth or one twelfth."
Hotes added immediately.
"That's good, otherwise I'd be worried that I'd be dragged into the door." Morris breathed a sigh of relief.
Ivan thought of another problem. Someone once said that the technology for making the Star Gate was still immature. Now it seems that this is not entirely true. After all, nothing can be perfect.
In front of the Star Gate, after President Doradoli set a good example, other arcane wizards soon made some gains.
The celestial creatures that were attracted were caught one by one.
Due to the suppression of the power of the Danera world, Ivan could not see clearly what was happening behind him. He could not see the original appearance of these celestial creatures, nor could he tell how sophisticated the methods of the arcane wizards were.
“Roar!” “A trap! I’ll fight you.”
Of course, among the creatures that crossed over from the Star Gate, there were also some that were not completely suppressed, and they exploded in front of the Star Gate. Other arcane wizards came forward to help in time, and together they suppressed the chaos.
Some were even more cunning, cutting off their arms in order to survive, and hastily fled back to the long river of stars.
In this special space, the situation in front is becoming more and more tense, while the situation in the back is still leisurely.
"Your Excellency, do all creatures in the astral world speak Chaos Language?"
Ivan discovered that the Chaos Language spoken by some celestial creatures was different from the language he inherited from his righteous star ancestors. It sounded familiar but he could not understand it.
"Can you understand Chaos Language?" Hotes asked back.
"I know a little bit." Seeing that the three of them were looking at him, Ivan nodded.
"It is said that the Star Realm is adjacent to a strange place called the 'Chaos World', and the language of the Star Realm originated from this. The Chaos World is extremely vast and has more than one language, so the common language of the Star Realm is actually a Chaos language. What you know should only be one of the Chaos languages."
Hotes didn't ask too many questions and just explained the reason.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for clearing up my confusion."
Ivan understood. This made sense. No wonder it sounded so confusing.
Just as he was about to ask the next question, an unusual noise suddenly came from not far away, coming from a four-man team in the protection area on the other side.
"Boom!"
Among the four people, two of them launched an attack and ambushed the other two third-level wizards.
Fortunately, everyone invited here was fully prepared. At the critical moment, the two people who were attacked had arcane-level shields raised on their bodies, which saved them from danger.
"Damn it!"
"You are crazy!"
The two were terribly frightened and looked extremely embarrassed.
The two people who launched the sneak attack showed no remorse, and judging from their attitude, it was obvious that they would not stop.
"I'm afraid an evil entity has sneaked in. I'll be back soon." Seeing that everyone in front of the Star Gate was busy, Hotes had no choice but to go and deal with it.
Without waiting for the three to reply, he had already dodged to the other side, blocking the conflict.
"retreat!"
However, as soon as Hotes left, Ivan immediately realized that something was wrong. There was an extremely disgusting smell approaching. He quickly signaled the two to retreat together and retreat to the depths of the purification area.
The two men did not suspect anything, and Tanya also sensed something, so the three of them quickly retreated.
Ivan also subconsciously slapped out a palm of the Black Demon's Hand, and the black flame palm with red glow blocked the front.
“Die, die, die—”
Under the combined effects of the purifying light and the black flame palm, a vague and distorted shadow revealed traces, with a hideous face, scarlet eyes, and an entire body filled with the intent of death and killing.
Just looking at it makes people feel uncomfortable, as if someone is pulling themselves into the shadow of death.
Seeing this, Ivan's mind was tense to the extreme, as if facing a formidable enemy, and even the Silver Moon Blade floated out.
"puff!"
With a slight sound, another palm fell from the side, crushing the distorted shadow into pieces and destroying it on the spot.
It was indeed Hotes who had returned.
"How dare you be so rampant with such evil thoughts?"
His expression looked a little bad at the moment, especially when he noticed that Tanya was still in shock and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
