No one reacted when the wizard rushed resolutely towards the gate of Purgatory—for the door was clearly not fully opened, and the frenzied magical energy swirled like a storm at the entrance, and a normal person would never rush into such a thing.Lily was the first to react, she rushed out like a bolt of lightning to intercept Baptiste, who was about to fall through the gate, only to see a white shadow flash, followed by the muffled sound of metal cutting flesh and bones: at the moment when he was about to be caught, Baptiste reached out to block Lily, which caused his entire left arm to be cut off by Zigan, but his body still fell inexorably into the black-red twisted vortex.Everyone watched as the wizard disappeared into a frenzy of magical energy, his body seemed to be torn apart and reorganized countless times in an instant, endless black smoke and ashes erupted from the gate, and Baptiste's shrill laughter came from the vortex: "I succeeded!
I did it!
No one ......"
The second half of his words disappeared into a gust of wind, due to the destruction of the array of mana extraction, all kinds of magical facilities on the scene had stopped functioning, and the purgatory gate that had lost its energy supply quickly shook and dimmed, and the whirlwind that rolled up when the gate collapsed was almost impossible to approach.At the moment when the spatial passage was about to disappear completely, Hao Ren took out a small silver-white device from his personal space and threw it towards the center of the vortex, the small device flickered in a black-red storm and disappeared.The gates of Purgatory have finally disappeared completely.The previous whirlwind vanished without a trace as if it had never existed, leaving only a huge pit where the gates of Purgatory had been opened, and wisps of foul-smelling black smoke rose from the pit and merged with the surrounding fog.The previous liquid mist slowly began to dissipate, and it was clear that their previous state was also the result of magical control.It all happened so fast that it wasn't until Baptiste and the Purgatory Gates were gone that Heatherena finally couldn't help but yell: "Shit!
Actually let him run!
Actually let this bastard run away!
”Lily bends down to pick up Baptiste's fallen arm, her prey has escaped, and this is the only "trophy" left on the scene.She returned to Hao Ren with this terrifying thing, and handed it forward in a daze: "Give it to ......"
Hao Ren couldn't imagine what Lily was thinking: "What do I want this for?!"
”"Slice it......"
Lily said casually, but before she could finish speaking, the arm turned into black dust in her hand, drifting through the air in the wind.Lily shook her head regretfully, "Well, there's no way to slice it now." ”Nangong May looked at Hao Ren a little helplessly: "What now?"
”"Of course you can't just let him run away!"
Hao Ren gritted his teeth, took out the data terminal from his arms and opened the tracking screen, "I just threw a probe in, it should have passed through the gate smoothly......
It seems that Baptiste himself has not been able to be traced due to the influence of spatial turbulence, but he has successfully arrived in another dimension.Vivien, do you want to see if this is purgatory?
”Hao Ren said as he zoomed in on the image from the probe for Vivien.The picture shows a large decadent and barren world, the black earth is covered with disgusting decaying substances, and large and small hot springs are scattered on the surface, and the hot springs are surging with a dirty liquid like sludge, and the polluting gases gushing from these hot springs have turned the whole world into chaos.The probe is moving around in another dimension, so the image is constantly expanding, but no matter where it goes, all you can see is the same unpleasant and bad scenery.Although Vivien had never explored Purgatory in depth, she glanced at the first floor of Purgatory out of curiosity, and she immediately recognized the scenery inside: "That's right, this is this place."
Can you get us in?
”"It's easy to teleport in, but Purgatory is an unstable space, and it's best to open a door to ensure safe travel," Hao Ren nodded, "Now the coordinates on both sides of the gate are available, and I also have the corresponding equipment in my personal space......
Give me some time and I'll open the door. ”It was only at this time that Hethanna finally looked at Hao Ren once: "I can't see it......
You're pretty reliable at critical moments, huh?
”"He's pretty reliable," Vivien glanced at her, "it's because you're too biased. ”At this time, Hao Ren had already taken out the general equipment needed to open the portal and a few autonomic machines from his personal space.The universal device was a silver-white platform with a radius of two meters and a few accompanying accessories, roughly similar to the teleporter in the basement of the home, only a little larger.This kind of thing is also one of the common devices used by Censors: Censors often have to go deep into the barren places of the universe, and they often have to prepare a general device for this aspect when dealing with anomalous spatial phenomena.Not only can it be used to explore uncharted areas, but it is also a transport channel in case of emergency: it can be used for small-scale evacuation of personnel and material transfers.Hao Ren didn't expect to use this thing to hunt down "fugitives".Duncan and Kassandra were dumbfounded as they watched the strange equipment that Hao Ren had taken out like a trick, they knew that Hao Ren and his gang were abnormal, but this man could really surprise people from time to time.However, since Vivien and Heatherenne, the two ancestors, were watching from the side, the two curious vampires still didn't ask much.With two years of work experience, Hao Ren has matured a lot now, and he is not shy about letting people see his high-tech equipment in this situation - some alien technology, which can't expose anything.The short-lived Purgatory Gate just now has formed an energy focus here, and although this energy focus is collapsing, it can still be used as the basis for the activation of the new space gate, which can save a lot of time.Hao Ren commanded the self-discipline machine to install the equipment in the large pit created by Baptiste, and the mechanical squid worked so fast that it seemed that it would not take much effort to open the door."
Anyway, I've lived for so long, and it's the first time I've seen this kind of tactic of burrowing holes on the battlefield," Vivien looked at Lily, who was tiptoeing not far away, "What did she think at the time......"
"No matter what you think, it works anyway," Hao Ren hehe, "I don't think there is a more unexpected tactic in the world than this—but only Lily can use it, and others can't dig holes as fast as hers." ”Lily's ears twitched, and she turned her head smartly, "What do you mean for me?"
”Hao Ren and Vivian said in unison: "No, praise you." ”Nangong Sanba stood on a large rock on the edge of the high ground and looked in the direction of the town, the thick fog blocking the view, but he could still vaguely sense the path that everyone had walked before.But soon he noticed that the situation had changed: "You see, the fog seems to be starting to lift!"
”As he had said, the thick fog that had enveloped the entire ghost town was gradually dissipating, and although the sunlight had still not appeared, everyone could already see the situation in the distance.As time passed, the speed at which the fog dissipated increased, and in just a few minutes, the silhouette of the town in the distance was faintly emerging from the fog."
This fog must have been created by Baptiste as well......
Either his departure caused the fog to dissipate, or the staff that Lily had broken just now also controlled the entire barrier here," Vivien said as she looked in the direction of the town, "It looks like the entire realm is larger than we expected at first, and if you look at the 'black edge' in the distance, it should be the real boundary of the realm, and the town is only a third of it, and a large area of wilderness outside has also been pulled in." ”Hethanna looked surprised: "What kind of character is this Baptiste, who has created such a large area of alien space by himself, and has maintained it for hundreds of years. ”"It seems that if he wants to, he can wipe out any city in this world out of thin air, and this power is hard to imagine through normal learning," Vivien shook her head, "but this guy's only purpose is to go to purgatory......
Blind with such a big ability.What's so good in purgatory?
”Hao Ren didn't care what Baptiste's ambitions were, he just asked the data terminal to check the surrounding spatial data, to make sure that the place would not collapse anytime soon, and then began to look curiously at the entire vista of Domir Town: an authentic medieval town, although a little eerie, but at least an exotic scene.Then he saw a fire rising in the middle of the town."
Look over there!"
Lily immediately shouted, "The town is burning!"
