Peerless Allure: Nine Series Summoner

Chapter 297 Disputes Appear
Ling Lan stepped forward, cautiously probing.She originally thought that this would be a transparent barrier, but she did not expect that it turned out to be an invisible wall.

The slender fingers slid across the invisible wall without any strange feeling.

Ling Lan was curious for a moment, bent her fingers and tapped on the wall twice, but didn't hear any sound.

After inspecting the barrier several times back and forth, Ling Lan still didn't find a way out.

She planned to go back to the Golden Square, thinking carefully about what was going on, and when she turned around, she saw a dozen pairs of eyes from the mercenary team looking at her expectantly.

Ling Lan shook her head amusedly and helplessly, and randomly picked a fringe area to sit cross-legged.When the mercenaries saw this, they couldn't help lowering their heads in disappointment.

"Oh, it looks like we're trapped here." Someone sighed heavily, and the broken pot fell to the ground.

After finally defeating those stone monsters, they thought they would be able to live in peace by leaving here, but they didn't expect that the only exit was blocked—the despair in the hearts of the mercenaries can be imagined.

"How about, let's look elsewhere to see if there are other exits?" Some people are unwilling to give up, and they are unwilling to sit still, wanting to find a new way out.

"Quick! Run! The city gate is ahead!"

The mercenaries were about to discuss and decide whether to stay and wait or find another way out when panicked shouts suddenly came from the city.

The mercenary team immediately became alert and looked in the direction of the sound.Everyone automatically and consciously clenched the weapons in their hands, ready to fight.

The sound of chaotic footsteps was getting closer, and in the next second, a group of distraught mystic masters appeared in everyone's field of vision.

I saw them running away while looking back nervously, as if they were afraid of being caught up.

The mercenaries observed carefully and found that these people were covered with wounds and their clothes were torn and torn, as if they had escaped from somewhere, and they didn't know what danger they encountered while hunting for treasure in the city.

The group of mystic masters didn't even look at Ling Lan and the mercenary team, and ran straight to the gate of the city.

The speed of their escape was so fast that the mercenaries didn't even have time to warn them, the person who ran at the front bumped into the invisible barrier.

"What, what's going on?!"

Perhaps because of the force of the impact, the man's forehead swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.While grinning and covering the wound, he screamed as if he had seen a ghost.

"What's going on? Why can't you get out?"

Seeing this, the people behind the team slammed on the brakes and stopped.Some of them went forward to check the situation at the barrier, while others looked warily at the direction they came from.

Until now, these people seem to have the demeanor and courage of some senior mystic masters.Their previous performances made people feel that this was a mess.

The few mystic masters who were in charge of surveying the barrier quickly returned to the team dejectedly, and after a while, there was a low howling sound.

It seems that these mystic masters already know this cruel fact - they are trapped here.

After a while, two or three teams escaped from the imperial city.Looking at their rag-like clothes and the criss-cross wounds on their bodies, one can tell that they must have experienced a fierce battle in the city.

……

By the time all the treasure hunting teams returned from the city, it was already dark outside.

From the gap in the open city gate, the explorers who sat cross-legged on the Golden Square could see the black night sky and the cold blue moonlight outside.

It was late at night, but no one felt sleepy.After a long death-like silence, discussions gradually spread from the square.

The explorers felt that it was not an option to sit still like this, so they talked about the situation encountered in the treasure hunt in the imperial city, and they could be regarded as exchanging ideas.

After a friendly exchange and discussion, they initially came to a conclusion—those weirdos in institutions would not leave their range.

In other words, as long as they avoid the places in the city where agencies are arranged, they are safe.

"Let me tell you, since we already know the source of the danger, there is nothing to be afraid of! As long as we avoid those mechanism monsters, can we continue the treasure hunt?"

A somewhat excited voice came from the crowd. Ling Lan followed the reputation and saw that the person who spoke was a young and vigorous mystic master.

As soon as this remark came out, someone immediately echoed loudly: "I think this little brother is right. Instead of waiting here, why don't you go in and give it a try!"

The lean, middle-aged mystic stroked his small goatee in agreement.His inverted triangular eyes were shining brightly, and he looked like an "old fritter" in the market.

Some people were immediately moved.They looked at their companions aside, unable to make a decision for a while.

But soon there were voices of opposition from the crowd.

"I think, let's wait here. Maybe at some point, the barrier at the gate of the city will disappear! If you miss it, I don't know how long you will have to wait..."

The female mystic who spoke seemed to be in her thirties.She was wearing a light beige dress with a gentle temperament.

"The old man thinks that what this girl said makes sense. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, it is not a wise move to go to the mountains with tigers."

The oldest mystic master in the crowd also expressed his opinion.But as soon as he finished speaking, someone refuted him.

"Stay where you are, who knows if you will encounter new dangers? Instead of wasting time meaninglessly, it's better to walk around and try your luck."

... For a while, the two factions disagreed and were at a stalemate.

The radical mystics advocated that everyone should unite and return to the city to continue the treasure hunt.They think that since they have figured out the source of the danger, they can just avoid it carefully, so why stop there?
On the other hand, the conservative mystics felt that they shouldn't go back to take risks again, it would be too hasty to do so.

Even if the barrier blocking the gate of the city has not disappeared, after half a year expires, the entrance and exit of the treasure land will be opened again, and everyone will be able to teleport out safely.

This has been arguing for more than half an hour, and neither party can persuade the other.

In the end, those who were willing to stay in the Golden Square and continue to wait accounted for one-third of the total number of mystic masters.They decided to practice on the spot, waiting for the opportunity to leave.

But most of the remaining people couldn't wait for a moment, and returned to the city to continue the treasure hunt.

Ling Lan and the mercenary team are also in this third of the conservatives.
