The various abandoned industrial facilities all over the land prove that the Tarta in the past was far less desolate.If you look at Tia's side from a very high point in the air, you will see that it is a beautiful sphere wrapped in blue and green.The blue ocean surrounds the lush continent, and the vast snow-capped mountains to the north of the Dhafts continent are like putting a snow-white hat on the plane.The rays of the sun pass through the endless space, and finally descend on the land in a warm gesture, giving birth to a soft light.This picture is like the impressionist oil painting that prevailed at the end of the First Republic of the Union, revealing a vicissitudes of life and an indescribable beauty.If you could see the town of Tarta from that aerial view, it would be just a tiny spot of earthy yellow in a vast expanse of verdant greenery.In the past, this earthy yellow was as shiny and attractive as a topaz.For more than a thousand years spanning three republican calendars, the town of Tarta was one of the most prosperous areas in the Commonwealth.Because after the first great reconciliation between the only two regimes on the human continent - the Rising Sun Federation and the Dandelion Empire, the highest concentration and best quality elemental ore in the entire continent were discovered here.At that time, Tia's face had just entered the era of elemental technology.Since then, although the Federation and the Empire have been fighting non-stop, and the tense antagonistic relationship continues to this day, for many people in the Federation, the thirst for elemental ore has gradually exceeded the thirst for defeating the Empire and expanding the territory - whether it is military, industrial or people's livelihood, all kinds of machinery that rely on alchemy runes to operate, need elemental mines as energy.As a result, countless merchants, workers, rich and poor flocked to this border town in the western part of the Federation, and all the industrial chains around the mining of elemental ores were quickly established around this town.However, all this ended with the complete declaration of the depletion of elemental veins in the Talta region fifty years ago.The people who came in like water at the beginning also faded as quickly as flowing water, leaving only such abandoned factories, abandoned mines and pits.No one will ever set foot in these abandoned mines again, except for Luo Songxi, who used to beat horse bandits and run away.In the past five years, he has become very familiar with these extensive underground mines, which have helped him save him countless times, and this is his underground labyrinth.He was surprised that today's horse bandit actually chased after him with an elemental searchlight.The last wave of horse bandits who dared to chase into the mine were led around the endless mine several times by him, and then he never found his way out.Or they had a chance to find a way out, but from the third day they were trapped, the horse bandits began to kill each other for survival resources, and as a result, they all died in the mine without Luo Songxi's action.When Luo Songxi went back to pick up the corpses, he saw that there were few complete corpses along the way, including roasted palms and bitten thighs......
Luo Songxi was so frightened that he couldn't care about anything, and ran while spitting.This day ranked seventeenth in the 100 worst days of his life.Luo Songxi thought to himself, should I do it again this time?
It's a big deal not to pick up the corpses, anyway, their valuable things are already in my hands.So he slowed down.This mine is connected to the excavation tunnel of the largest elemental mine in the town of Tarta.Luo Songxi carefully kept a relatively safe distance from the horse bandits, dodging the fire of two elemental muskets from time to time.After a few turns, it has entered the depths of the tunnel.Luo Songxi glanced behind him twice, and found that those stupid horse bandits really only cared about pursuit, and they didn't even make a mark along the road.He was smug when he suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong in the tunnel today.After humans abandoned these tunnels, various burrowing animals took over the underground labyrinth.The most common haunts here are cave lizards, and when Luo Songxi used to pass through these tunnels, every few steps he could see a slippery creature hiding in a corner and staring at him.There are also much more eyeless spiders and cave beetles.But today, under the illumination of the elemental searchlight held by the horse bandits, Luo Songxi didn't even see the smallest ant.Luo Songxi was terrified in his heart, and a sense of danger from his intuition took over his whole body.Shake off those bandits and get out of here!
He made up his mind, accelerated abruptly, and his figure swished away from the light behind him, and in the darkness he flickered from memory, turning into a fork in the road in front of him.He had a great memory, and he remembered that the fork in the road was a path that slowly ascended to the ground, but as soon as he turned around, the original path was gone.Luo Songxi only felt that his feet were empty, and he couldn't hold back his momentum, so he fell down.The distance of the fall was actually not long, but Luo Songxi already felt the restlessness of the elements in the air, and a low shout: "Someone, be on guard, turn on the lights!"
”Luo Songxi didn't know even the slightest bit of elemental magic, but he could feel from the agitation of the elements that there was at least one magician of no lower rank here—at least no worse than Old John.He didn't dare to make any movement in the air, took out a jar from his waist and smashed it to the ground.………… The pursuing horse bandits suddenly lost their traces of Luo Songxi, and were in the midst of a chaotic acceleration, when they suddenly saw a bright light in a cave in front of the left, and thought that the "Reaper" had an accomplice in ambush here.But are these outlaws the ones who will back down?
When they reached the mouth of the cave, they drew their sabers and muskets, and shot them as they jumped down from the hole.It is a cave of about fifty or sixty square meters, and the fresh chiseling marks around it show that the cave has just been excavated.In the cavern, a large stone was built up to look like an altar, and there were coarse marks of bright red that had not dried.Since the ancient Titan language was completely lost, the sacrificial art has long been extinct in the face of Tia, and this altar is undoubtedly deeply strange.But the bandits' attention was clearly not on that, and they saw seven or eight men in gray jackets around the altar, all of whom for some reason covered their eyes with their hands and pained faces.But the gray jackets were still nervously shouting, "There are intruders, protect the altar." ”"Who can still see, surround, surround, don't let anyone run."
The horse bandits felt angry and ridiculous, in this wasteland, there were people who threatened to surround them and annihilate them without being able to fight back?
The brave horse bandit unceremoniously raised the musket in his hand, and poured small fiery fireballs from the barrel of the gun, and after one round of fire, the gray jacket had already fallen four times.At this moment, a middle-aged man in the deepest part of the cave finally recovered from a brief blindness.He was thin and had a hooked nose.Unlike his fellow men in gray jackets, he wears a crisp gray suit.Seeing the attacking horse bandits and their fallen companions, his face showed an uncontrollable anger.He raised a hand, pressed it down slightly, and quickly recited two incantations, and his body flew up like a fallen leaf, sliding in the direction of the horse bandit.The horse bandits were still shooting mercilessly, and he only raised his hand, and two walls of ice rose out of thin air, blocking all the small fireballs.Seeing this, the two horse bandits who bore the brunt of the attack abandoned their guns and drew their swords, making a charging gesture, wanting to fight him in close combat, but he only beckoned, and two flaming arrows suddenly fell from the sky, and the blazing temperature burned the two horse bandits into a piece of charcoal in an instant.The leader of the horse bandits was dumbfounded and shouted, "Sanctuary, the great magician of the Sanctuary Rank!"
Come on!
”But where they could go, a piece of ice crystal spread out where the bandits stood, and they were still struggling to take a step at first, but in a few breaths, they all turned into an ice sculpture.The gray-jacketed man, known as the Grand Mage of the Sanctuary, let out a snort of anger in his nose, and a flame spread rapidly around him, blasting the ice sculpture into a pile of black pieces.In this way, the cave regained its calm in a very short time, and only a thin figure was attached to a dim pit in the corner of the cave, which was not illuminated, and he was shocked to know why.………… When Luo Songxi was still falling, he threw out the life-saving object that Old John gave him.It was an ordinary-looking clay pot with some white powder in it.The only special place is that on the metal lid of the clay pot, a small flame explosion circle is engraved, and in the middle of the circle, a small piece of elemental crystal is inlaid.When in use, press the spring pin in the middle of the metal lid to activate the flame explosion circle, and at the same time smash the clay pot, and the white powder will burst into an extremely dazzling light in the sudden combustion.It is especially effective when used in such a dark environment, at least it can cause the enemy to be blind for a few tens of seconds.Luo Songxi didn't know what those white powders were, and these small clay pots didn't seem to be made by Old John, using one less than one, but Old John just always had these weird things.Luo Songxi had already judged that there were characters in the opponent's team that he couldn't compete with, so when he fell, he threw a flashbang as soon as he fell, and then when the flashbang took effect, he didn't take advantage of the opponent's blindness to attack at all.He didn't even have any intention of escaping—the only way to escape, and there were a dozen or so horse bandits outside.He just found a hidden position in the cave and hid in the first place, trying to let the horse bandits chasing after him fight with this group of unknown people first.But he never expected that the strength of the gray-clothed magician was so strong that he would kill twelve brave horse bandits in an instant with a snap of his fingers.Bronze, silver, gold, sanctuary, legend, this is the division method of Tia facing the cultivator, and then there is a god-like existence.How could the Sanctuary Rank, a revered great magician no matter where he was, appear in this almost abandoned land?
No, not yet on the ground, but underground.Although he has also learned some martial arts, and the martial arts are quite magical, at best, he can only be regarded as an entry-level bronze warrior.How do you stand up to a great magician who is looked up to?
And judging from the style of these men in gray jackets, they will definitely not be the ones who are willing to reason with him.As soon as he showed his head, he was 100% sure that he would be shattered into ice cubes or black charcoal by an overwhelming fireball of ice arrows.How can he get out?
The teenager who has escaped from the horse bandit pile countless times is finally faced with a dilemma that borders on despair.
