The sound of tapping footsteps continued to echo in the not-so-wide passage.
Nanna and her group were still walking unhurriedly toward the top of the arena, as if they were exploring a castle that had been abandoned for a long time.
The arena has a total of nine floors above ground, and there is also a huge warehouse underground.
But unlike ordinary buildings, the height of each floor of the Arena is not the same.
Basically, it becomes more spacious as you go up.
For example, the height from the fourth floor is almost twice that of the first and second floors.
This has no other meaning, it is just to satisfy the needs of the powerful for their exclusive boxes.
In order to show the family's power and financial resources, the exclusive box they rent cannot be too simple.
It is usually as luxurious as possible.
A higher ceiling will also give them enough space to install a gorgeous suspended ceiling.
Nanna and her party reached the fourth floor smoothly.
Apart from the dim light, they did not encounter any interceptions or traps, and there were not even any traces of the battle.
However, under the current situation, being too quiet means something is wrong.
The dark passage is like the open mouth of an evil beast, waiting for the four of them to walk into the trap carefully laid out by it.
Even though Elder Bei was full of words, in fact, his clay stand-in dolls still didn't show anything special.
They just gathered everyone into a group and followed Elder Bei's footsteps like children.
Other than that, they basically didn't do anything else.
Helu didn't understand this very much.
He could do this simple co-control himself.
There was no need to put in so much effort to get some substitute magic vines to enter, which also cost him a lot of mental power.
However, after careful observation by Wu Tong, he still discovered something unusual about these clay stand-in dolls.
Elder Bei had done nothing since he released those black vines.
He just followed Nanna forward silently.
But those stand-in dolls are more intelligent than Elder Bei.
These little guys seem to be very interested in the surrounding environment, always turning their heads to peek around from time to time.
Especially when encountering a fork in the road, Wu Tong found that they would always freeze for a moment, as if they were considering which path to choose.
This kind of humanized action is obviously not what normal puppets should do.
Instead of saying that they are stand-in puppets, it is more appropriate to think of them as ten dogs, and Elder Bei is obviously their owner.
This does not mean that puppets must be very rigid.
For example, some magicians who prefer puppet spells will regard puppets as their own clones.
They can transfer their souls to the puppets through secret methods and control the puppets to fight on their behalf.
That is, It's like replacing a driver shell.
However, only soul mages with extremely powerful spiritual power can do this kind of thing.
Elder Bei should not have this ability.
Furthermore, even if Elder Bei was a part-time soul mage, he would not be able to tear his soul into pieces and stuff them into these ten clay stone men.
Then the reason for this situation can only be those black vines, but it is difficult to imagine that those vines have their own intelligence, and they are just divided.
But other than that, I really can't find any other reason.
Nanna was very competent as a guardian knight.
It was as if she had not seen those clay stand-in dolls.
She had been walking at the front dutifully, carefully guarding against attacks that might appear at any time.
After walking up three floors in a row, the arena was completely empty and not even a ghost was seen.
Nanna had no room to perform for the time being.
It would be a good thing if this situation could be maintained.
Anyway, their target is the control room of the magic defense array.
It would be the most ideal situation to be able to reach the target without interference.

But after reaching the fourth floor, the situation suddenly changed dramatically.
As soon as they stepped onto the fourth floor, there were waves of nauseating smells in the air, not only the sulfur smell unique to the demons, but also the stench of rotting corpses and the thick smell of blood.
"Is it a barrier?"
After asking about the stench, the great magician Helu frowned, raised his long staff on the ground, and sent out a small earth-yellow shock wave.
It can be clearly seen that the weak shock wave seemed to hit an invisible wall of air when it moved to the stairs, and dissipated after a slight shock.
Helu's actions can be understood by the other three without explanation, because there was nothing unusual on the third floor, but as soon as he got to the fourth floor, he could smell such a strong odor.
This must be because of the barrier. block.
However, this barrier is very special.
It can isolate energy waves, smells, and perhaps sounds, but the four of them did not notice it when they penetrated the barrier.
Wu Tong also tried to make one or two small fireballs to test the effect of the barrier, but after considering his current situation, he finally gave up on this plan.
However, now that the enchantment has been discovered, according to experience, it is better to solve it as soon as possible.
Maybe an inconspicuous enchantment can change the situation at a critical moment.
"Can the two masters remove the barrier?"
After thinking for a while, Wu Tong asked.
It is better to leave this kind of technical work to professionals.
The theoretical knowledge of the great magician is definitely better than that of him and Nanna.
Helu subconsciously glanced at Elder Bei and saw that the latter had no response.
He had no choice but to cough twice and stand up.
Under Wu Tong's expectant eyes, he slowly said: "I don't know what to call my little friend."
"Well, just call me Zhuque."
Wu Tong then remembered that he hadn't introduced himself yet, and it was indeed not polite in front of the elders.
Nodding, Helu explained: "Suzaku, you probably don't know yet.
Barriers are divided into two types: barrier core and non-enchantment core.
According to the current situation, what we encountered is a barrier with a core. , it cannot be solved without finding its core.”
Although he is rugged and not very smart, Helu is also a very kind person and has a good heart.
Otherwise, he would not have easily fallen into Felin's language trap.
Seeing that Wu Tong knew little about the barrier, Helu explained it in detail.
A coreless barrier is a method of magical defense, which is equivalent to using magic elements to create an invisible magic wall to block attacks from the outside.
A more powerful one can even prevent enemies from entering the barrier.
The most representative coreless barriers are various magic defense shields.
Although they have control rooms, they can also be regarded as coreless barriers because they can be completely broken through with brute force from the outside world.
As for the enchantment with a core, as the name suggests, you must first have the core of the enchantment.
The core of the enchantment can be a living body or a magic item, and the existence of the enchantment depends on the core of the enchantment.
Theoretically, if the core of the barrier is not found, the barrier will not be destroyed.
Of course, if the core energy of the barrier is exhausted, the barrier will naturally be lifted automatically.
From this point of view, a barrier with a core can also be regarded as a field.
Barriers with energy cores are usually not used as magic defense shields.
They are more like radars or jammers.
Depending on the effect of the barrier, people entering the barrier will be affected differently.
For example, if you want to rely on this kind of barrier to deal with Heru, it is best to set up a barrier that restricts earth elements.
Heru's performance will naturally be affected.
However, the core of the barrier must be found.
The inability to remove it with brute force is not the most distressing part of this barrier.
The most troublesome thing is that this barrier can be moved.
As long as you carry the core of the barrier, you are carrying a realm with you.

When encountering an immovable barrier, the worst case scenario is that you just don't go in.
As long as you don't enter within the range of the barrier, no matter how powerful the barrier is, it will be in vain.
But when it comes to such a movable barrier, there is nothing one can do.
Of course, the technical content of this kind of enchantment is very high.
Generally, no magician would make himself the core of the enchantment.
That would be too much of a burden on oneself.
But if you want to use magic props, the prerequisite is that you have a powerful enough treasure to use.
Ordinary magic props cannot support the huge energy consumption.
Those treasures that can be used as the core of the barrier usually have another name called artifact.
Now that there is an artifact, it's not enough to just use it to attack the opponent.
Few people will be bored enough to use the artifact to create a barrier, which will not be able to exert the strongest effect of the artifact.
"So Suzaku, you should understand."
Master Helu patiently gave Wu Tong a theoretical lesson.
Of course, this also meant to defend himself.
In Helu's view, if he didn't explain clearly and just said that he was powerless, the two juniors Wu Tong and Nanna would probably think that they were not good enough.
Having lost face twice in a row, even if Master Helu cannot save his face, at least he cannot lower his image any further.
Especially after discovering that Wu Tong was a novice in magic, Master Helu felt that he had to explain himself.
"Oh, that's right."
Wu Tong nodded.
Master Helu said it so clearly that it was impossible for him not to understand.
But compared to the barrier, Wu Tong cared more about another thing Helu said.
Since this is a barrier with a core, it must be what its core is.
According to Helu, if that thing is not an artifact, it is at least a treasure.
