Chapter 461 Feeling sad
Chapter 461 Feeling sad
It's just a matter of luck. There is not much time left for the seven of us, only the last half day.
Four arcane wizards stood guard closely by their side to support them. Not everyone can enjoy such high treatment.
Even though he felt his efficiency was extremely low, Ivan did not slack off at all. He threw down spiritual power crystals one after another, trying to explore more locations, wider directions and areas as much as possible.
Sadly, everything seems to be in vain.
I don’t know how long it was before Tanya suddenly screamed, echoing throughout the small space and attracting attention.
"Tanya, disconnect!"
Then, Hotes' voice sounded.
Ivan was also awakened, and the mental crystal he was controlling shattered.
He realized belatedly that he had just fallen into a state of inexplicable anxiety. His mood became very impetuous, a little eager for quick success and a little self-deprecating. He always felt that all his work would be in vain in the end.
"The long river of the astral world is majestic and mysterious. It is the origin of all life. Although your exploration will constantly wear out your mental strength, it will also be tempered in a unique way. This will have many benefits for your future cultivation."
Doradoli explained at the right time.
That's it!
Ivan and the others were thoughtful. Wizards always had their own purposes in everything they did. It was really unreasonable to waste half a day trying their luck.
Now I realize that this arrangement was well-intentioned.
Ivan noticed the situation on the side. Tanya's face was obviously pale, which was very different from other people. It showed that she had to endure more.
Combined with her performance when she encountered the evil spirit before, it seems that she was left with very serious trauma from that attack, which has not healed to this day.
"It's definitely not an ordinary serious injury. Even after treatment, it will leave terrible sequelae, which will definitely have a great impact on the promotion to level 4."
"Hortes said she was deposed, and that was not without reason."
Seeing Tanya like this, Ivan felt sympathetic for a moment.
He thought about the time when he was attacked by the Elemental Lord during the Storm Crossing. If President Hardy had not been on the Cloud Shuttle, the consequences would probably have been even more catastrophic.
Either you die or live a life worse than death.
Thinking of this, his desire to be promoted to level four became more urgent. Only by becoming an arcane wizard could he be able to control his own destiny and not be afraid of any evil tricks.
Ivan took a deep breath, then condensed a crystal of mental power and threw it into the long river of the star realm, allowing the undercurrent of space to erase it.
After a while, the mental power crystal was annihilated.
Another crystal condensed and projected towards the Star Gate.
Annihilation.
Cast again.
-
Time passed quickly, and Ivan mechanically repeated the same actions, trying his best to keep his mind calm and remain neither arrogant nor impatient.
So did everyone else, including Tanya, who didn't back down.
After being persuaded by Hotes, Tanya stopped trying to be stubborn and would stop to adjust herself for a while when she couldn't control her emotions anymore. After that, she would put in the mental crystals to combine work and rest.
However, the group of third-level wizards still gained nothing until night fell.
"It seems like there is something." Long after nightfall, Morris's hesitant voice broke the silence at the scene.
"Wizard Morris, if it is there, it is there, and if it is not there, it is not there. What do you mean by 'seems to be there'?" President Doradoli said unhappily.
"Yes, it's just a stone." Morris scratched his head.
"That's not an ordinary stone. You better keep it steady and don't let it down at the critical moment." President Doradoli came to his side and placed one of his hands on the crystal ball.
In just a few seconds, he pulled a smooth stone with a diameter of two meters out of the Star Gate and dropped it deftly to the ground on one side.
"A good harvest. This is a star stone of medium purity. It consumes a lot every time we activate the star gate." He introduced with a smile.
"Hey, looks like I'm lucky." Morris glanced at the others with a bit of pride. This was the only reward he had received since noon. "It's useless for you to keep it. Hand it over to the guild."
President Doradoli waved his hand and put the thing into his bag.
Morris was dumbfounded. He didn't even have time to look at the item before it suddenly disappeared.
He was afraid of President Doradoli from the bottom of his heart and could only look at the president hesitantly, hoping that the other party could understand what he meant. Unfortunately, President Doradoli ignored him.
The others ignored him and each of them gathered their efforts in their hearts, trying to salvage something in the last few hours.
At this time, Ivan had already gained a lot of experience. Thinking that there was not much time left, he decided to give it one more try so as not to end up with all his hard work in vain.
The next crystal still did not rush forward, but instead went with the flow, accelerating towards the distance along with the momentum of the undercurrent of space.
If you succeed, you will gain a wider space for exploration; if you fail, you will immediately lose a spiritual power crystal.
Just like before, he failed again and again, but the failures came even faster, and his expression became tired at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"call--"
After a moment, Ivan heaved a long sigh with a tired look on his face, and went to the back to rest with the crystal ball in his arms. This was the first time he needed to rest, as he had previously relied on his recovery power to get by.
Seeing this, the arcane wizards did not say anything to stop it.
The others also noticed it and soon guessed the reason. Their eyes lit up and they all followed suit, starting to struggle for one last try and really try their luck.
"Come again!"
After recovering, Ivan jumped up from the ground, took a few steps to the Star Gate, and resumed his old work.
He had just used the undercurrent of space to cast the spiritual power crystal far away, and it was not without any gain. In fact, he successfully reached farther places twice, and his perception became doubly blurred each time.
However, the galaxy is vast, and until the crystal is annihilated, nothing is gained in the end, and the harvest fails again.
This undoubtedly gave him some encouragement.
"Wizard Ivan, be careful not to over-exert yourself and damage your foundation." Seeing that he was eager to try, Hotes reminded him.
"I understand." Ivan nodded solemnly. He was not carried away.
Then, a new spiritual power crystal passed through the crystal ball and fell into the long river of the star realm through the star gate. The crystal drifted with the flow for two or three seconds, looking for an opportunity to flow into a certain exciting and flying undercurrent in space, and then rushed to a farther place with the undercurrent.
In less than three seconds, the mental power crystal was annihilated.
He was not surprised at all and immediately cast a new crystal.
New crystals are deployed quickly, and the results are fed back quickly, so his deployment experience is increasing little by little.
"Are there any more astral creatures?"
"Why not? Never mind. It's too much trouble. It's a bit inappropriate now."
"There are stones."
"I'll do it. Not bad, not bad. You guys should work harder."
“——”
The exploration method became more radical and the effect was indeed higher.
Or maybe their luck played a role, and after a while someone came forward to discover different things, and quickly dragged the valuable ones back to the Star Gate.
Things that require a big fuss were given up after consideration.
The creatures in the star realm are not weak. They did not get into the star realm gate on their own. It takes a lot of energy to deal with them, which is not worth the effort.
Seeing that others had made some gains while his own results remained the same, Ivan was not annoyed. He had already tried his best and there was nothing he could do if luck just wasn't on his side.
