The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 976 Familiar Operations
All the creations of the ancient elves are extremely solid and reliable due to the extensive use of magic technology, which is very famous.

But there is no so-called eternity in this world, and of course there are limits to being solid and reliable.

These mines were created thousands of years ago, and the locals close to the surface planned to develop them into residential areas and mushroom farms, so they were re-reinforced regularly with magic.

But you have to understand that the depth of the mine left by the ancient elves has not yet been ascertained. It is impossible for the locals to re-fortify the entire mine from top to bottom.

This means that the deeper the place, the less it has been repaired, and this part happens to be the 'foundation' that supports the entire mine.

It's like a skyscraper with an unstable foundation. No matter how luxurious and noble you repair the upper part, once the foundation of the lower floor has problems, it will all be in vain.

Looking at the passage on the other side of the collapse, Saili said:

"This earthquake is unusual. The mines of the ancient elves have a special earthquake-proof design. It is impossible for a normal earthquake to cause such a large amount of damage. It should be caused by other external forces."

"Did the locals play off themselves?"

"It's possible, but not high."

After all, the local people's city is above the mine, and they can be said to be very concerned about the maintenance of the mine, because if the mine collapses, the city above will definitely fall directly.

While speaking, Lin Tianci felt a gust of wind coming from behind him, like a storm caused by something falling on the ground. He grabbed the cave wall to stabilize his body, and then saw a large group of people in the mine behind him. The darkness flooded over like a tide.

The magic lamps hanging on both sides of the cave wall swayed in the earthquake, and the light flickered along with it, but the light they emitted couldn't penetrate the darkness at all, and was quickly submerged in it.

"Shadow power? This concentration... Could it be that the mine has been opened up to the outside?"

As soon as Sai Li finished speaking, Lin Tianci raised his right hand towards the tsunami-like darkness:
"Ice Wall Technique!"

With a flash of blue light, an ice wall suddenly rose from the ground, like a dam blocking the raging darkness.

The damage to the human body caused by pure shadow power is actually not particularly high. After all, it is not a pervasive negative energy, but at the speed at which that thing strikes ferociously, even pure air is enough to blow people away.

Not far from Lin Tianci and the others is a collapsed area that has been completely shattered and nothing is there. If it is lifted down, only Lin Tianci himself can still try to keep it alive, and Laventan is definitely dead.

The ceiling of the mine is very high, and the ice wall cannot be completely sealed. Lin Tianci, who lowered his head while protecting Laventan, can clearly feel some kind of high-speed airflow flying past less than three meters above his head. The darkness turned into a solid body at this time, and under the pressure of the shadow force, cracks appeared on the originally solid cave wall...

Hell, pills!
–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

They didn't recruit anyone in the underground and suddenly encountered a catastrophe such as a landslide. Lin Tian gave them a pill to feel it. In fact, it was the city government team in Bariahat who was most anxious.

The detection spell they deployed in the mine issued an alarm 2 minutes ago, detecting the infusion of shadow power with an unusual concentration.

The plane of the Lightless Realm itself is surrounded by shadow power, but the concentration of shadow power underground is basically close to the normal level. When receiving the alarm of detecting magic, everyone's first reaction is the same as Saili.

The mine has been connected to the outside due to some influence!
As I said before, some shadow monsters can also dig holes. Sometimes, either by accident or following the scent of humans, they dig holes from the ground and break into the mine below the city, and then enter the city through the densely packed pipelines of the mine. .

But this is just a coincidence. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for these monsters to dig too deep, so it is impossible to connect to a mine that is too deep. After the monsters are dealt with, the guards will completely block the entrance of the cave, but There are too many similar caves, and they will not be discovered unless monsters get in and expand, and they cannot be sealed at all.

The above situation will also cause the shadow power to pour into the mine, but the scale is very small, and this time the scale is so large that it can be said that there has never been a situation in the entire history of Bariahat.

The 24-hour guards ready to deal with the monsters immediately judged that it might be caused by a large number of shadow monsters finding a large cave that could accommodate them and then drilling into the mine.

This inference is based on past experience, and it is also a relatively reliable inference, but it is actually worse than what they inferred.

The engineering department in charge of repairing and testing the mine itself hastily came over to report. Their detection spells found that strong vibrations with unknown causes appeared in extremely deep underground areas. The lower area, that is, the mine below 500 meters, has been There has been a serious collapse, and it is only a matter of time before the collapse spreads to the upper floors...

This suddenly changed from a simple monster invasion to a matter of survival of the entire city of Bariahat.

The routine meeting that was going on was completely interrupted by this unexpected situation. The strong shock could be clearly felt on the surface. The guards patrolling the road also sent reports that some building foundations on the surface had shifted and broken.

The edge of the fracture is centered on the city hall, and the circular area with a radius of 5 kilometers occupies almost one-tenth of several huge urban areas in Bariahat.

In this situation, there is absolutely no time to think about what to do. The government immediately decided to evacuate all the residents in the area. The parents of the students who were watching the live broadcast in the square in front of the city hall, no matter how worried about the safety of the children below, would not I had to get out of all these dangerous areas quickly under the driving of the guards.

There was no time to pack up, and everyone escaped from home or work empty-handed. At this time, they could clearly see layers of cracks emerging from the buildings in the fractured area, and the entire circle The slabs are full of huge and terrible fracture marks.

In the end, people outside the cordon saw that the central area of ​​Bariahat was broken into countless fragments like a shattered glass plate, and finally fell into the seemingly endless darkness below. Only the ancient elves What was left, the crystal pillar supporting the entire city was still standing there firmly.

The whole process did not exceed 30 minutes. As for how many people did not have time to evacuate...

No, it should be said how many people were lucky enough to evacuate. In just 30 minutes, how easy is it to evacuate a circular area with a radius of 5 kilometers?
What's more, because of the limited living space, the population density of Bariahat is much higher than that of ordinary cities.

But at this time, people have no time to be sad or frightened, because the guards discovered that a large number of shadow monsters poured upwards from the pits in the collapsed area like a tide...

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Go back in time a bit—

Lin Tianci didn't know what the state of the city above his head was like now, he only knew that if he didn't think of a way, the girl Laventan would definitely be sold below, and she might become a fossil after thousands of years.

The shadow force passing through at high speed has a strong driving force and penetrating power like a water knife. As soon as it rushed over, the ice wall erected by Lin Tianci was full of cracks. It is too weak compared to the power of natural disasters.

But weaker than the ice wall are the cave walls on both sides of the mine.

When the shadow force coming at high speed encounters the ice wall, it will spray upwards and to the left and right sides because of its obstruction, and because of the narrowing of the exit, the spraying speed is faster than before.

The principle is similar to that if you pinch a water pipe that keeps spraying water, the sprayed water can be sprayed farther.

As soon as Lin Tianci pressed Laventan to lie down, he saw the darkness composed of shadow power sweep across the ceiling above his head and the cave walls on both sides, and there was a sharp friction sound almost at the same time.

At that moment, he felt that the stone under his feet seemed to be tilting...

Laventan screamed and hugged Lin Tianci's thigh tightly, which saved the effort of catching her. Brother Lin hurriedly took out the seven-treasure colored glaze from his arms, and saw a flash of inspiration, and the colorful colored glaze stones turned into a handful of steel wool balls like wire.

He threw this thing on the surrounding stone wall, and under the boost of the illuminated magic aura, the ball of 'steel wire' rapidly expanded and increased in value, and the thread ends shot into the stone wall like anchor bolts.

The golden thread was originally a magic weapon for restraint and control, but it was unexpectedly used as a rope for its first appearance.

But as long as it can be used, don’t worry about this style of painting. Besides, Brother Lin doesn’t have time to think about these things now, because the ground they crouched on has been completely tilted, and it has almost become a seventy-degree shape. come over.

If there is no gold thread to fix it, the two of them will definitely fall directly into the bottomless abyss.

"Hold on tight, don't let go!"

Lin Tianci yelled at Laventan, who was clutching his robe and thighs. I don't know if the girl heard it. There were deafening explosions everywhere in my ears. The sound of rocks breaking apart was louder than bombs. Only a little bit of Laventan's scream can be heard mixed in with these explosions.

Turning his head now, Lin Tianci can clearly see the huge crystal pillar supporting the entire city, and the original mine layer that is constantly collapsing around the load-bearing pillar, which is always emitting a faint blue light at the far end of his field of vision. If so, you can even see some screaming figures falling into the abyss below...

It can be said that Laventan was very lucky. It just so happened that because of the improvement of his cultivation, Brother Lin gave Qibao Liuli a golden thread shape. Otherwise, he would have no other means to fix himself on the rock. Even the gecko wall talisman couldn't stick to it at all.

Not to mention Laventan who was holding Lin Tianci's thigh, even Brother Lin himself felt like he was swinging on a swing, and it was an extremely dangerous swing. He was hung on the rock wall and dangled back and forth. Almost bumped their heads against rocks or were covered in gravel falling from their heads.

How many casualties there are, and how much the loss is is not something that Lin Tianci can consider. Now he just hopes that the shaking will subside as soon as possible, and then find a way to get Laventan up.

What?College selection?

It's such a juncture, and if I choose a fart, I'm afraid the entire Higher Magic Academy will fall from the top!

And we often say that blessings come without pairs, this is because there is an even more damning saying that misfortunes never come singly.

Lin Tianci, who was hanging on a swing by gold thread on the rock wall, moved his ears, and he heard such a sound coming from an unknown distance below him.

--boom!

- Whoops!

Damn, this voice is so familiar...
