Above the gray fog

However, in this doomed situation, the goddess of luck favored the girl again.

The door behind her was kicked open.

A middle-aged man holding a flaming long sword strode in. He was burly, with clear muscle lines, and each muscle contained great power.

There was a deep scar on the man's face, extending from the left eyebrow to the right cheek, giving people a sense of fortitude and ferocity.

His strength was also Sequence 4. Behind him, there were two Sequence 5 and three Sequence 6 strongmen.

After seeing the enemy in the house, the team quickly dispersed and formed a blockade.

"Chaos waste hiding in the city, I found you!" The middle-aged man raised his long sword, and the blade burned with blazing flames, directly igniting the air.

Others immediately followed suit, and the weapons in their hands flashed different lights.

An invisible barrier unfolded in their actions, and the whole world suddenly lost its color and became like a black and white oil painting.

The edge of the barrier flickered with a faint light, forming a series of gorgeous and complex patterns, like a carefully woven net, covering the entire space.

The girl was also surrounded by this colorless world, and her time seemed to be suspended.

No... It's not as simple as time pausing.

Lin Shan thought about it and understood the changes around him.

The barrier they activated intercepted a moment of past time and pulled it to the present and fixed it.

In this moment of past time, the battle can be carried out unscrupulously.

No matter how much damage is caused, once time returns to the present, all damage will be restored to its original state in an instant.

Lin Shan understood this principle, but he didn't understand how these relatively weak creatures did it?

And it seems that they are not worried that the enemy will destroy this fixation.

The confrontation lasted less than a second, and the battle broke out in silence.

The flaming long sword swung out a blazing flame, like a fire dragon tumbling in the air, rushing straight towards the outer god.

The Sequence 5 and Sequence 6 behind the middle-aged man also attacked at the same time. Their attacks were unique. Some froze the space with frost, and some tore the air with lightning.

Lin Shan watched with great interest.

The energy they used had absolutely nothing to do with the characteristics of authority.

It was a kind of primitive energy, a primitive energy that he had never seen before.

It was essentially just one kind of energy, but it could be divided into many different elements.

As Lin Shan continued to observe, a little bit of past memories gradually surfaced.

The agent, the faded one.

The God of Loss of Color - Gray Apollon

Is this energy gray?

But gray should focus on defense, and it is impossible to split so many elemental powers.

There is only one possibility left, white.

So, the primitive energy that the creatures in this world can use is white, and the characteristic of white is that it can split different elemental energies and combine them into different attacks, similar to magic.

What is the name of the oldest god who can represent white?

He seemed to have heard of it.

"Chongming - the origin of white." Lin Shan said to himself.

The Lookout is from this camp. Lin Shan has heard from the captain of the Lookout that they are following Chongming.

I wonder if the Lookout has any connection with this world...

In just a short moment, Lin Shan has analyzed a lot of useful information.

Facing the siege of the crowd, the Outer God roared, and the hair and tentacles on his body grew wildly.

The blazing dragon of fire was caught by the Outer God.

And crushed mercilessly.

The attack was frustrated, and the middle-aged man did not stop, but retreated immediately.

Behind him, the attacks of two Sequence 5 and three Sequence 6 have also arrived.

One of the Sequence 5 is a woman, wearing ice-blue armor and holding an ice crystal spear.

Every time the spear is thrust out, countless ice crystal arrows will condense in the air and shoot densely at the Outer God.

Another Sequence 5 is a strong man wearing a brown battle robe and holding a pair of thunder and lightning hammers in his hands.

Every time he swung his hammer, lightning would explode in the air, forming a network of lightning.

The three Sequence 6s each had their own characteristics.

A tall, thin man in a black cloak, his movements were as swift as the wind, holding a double-edged dagger in his hand, his attacks were as fast as lightning, and each slash was extremely accurate, aiming directly at the vital points of the Outer God.

Another sturdy warrior, wearing heavy armor and holding a huge shield, was mainly responsible for defense.

The last Sequence 6 was a short old man holding a staff and wearing a dark green robe.

His attack method was unique. Every time he swung the staff, countless vines would grow on the ground, and the vines would entangle the enemy like a living thing, restricting its movement.

The Outer God was beaten back by these attacks and was even a little flustered.

Lin Shan quietly observed all this in his bones, his heart full of doubts.

Even a Sequence 6 minion could fight a Sequence 4 Outer God here. Although the gap in strength was still huge, according to Lin Shan's common sense, a Sequence 4 could easily kill a Sequence 6 with a single glance, so there would never be such a fierce battle as now.

Something was wrong, this world was very wrong.

"Get out of the way!"

A middle-aged man shouted from the back.

Hearing the sound, the five people in front of him retreated immediately.

The middle-aged man swung a flaming long sword and slashed it out. The flames were like a rage from the sky, directly splitting a crack several kilometers long and dozens of meters deep on the ground.

The ground was burnt black by the flames, and the buildings on both sides of the crack were roasted red.

The force was a little wrong.

Lin Shan noticed something wrong at first glance. The full force of Sequence 4 should not cause only such a little damage.

After careful observation, Lin Shan gradually understood the secret.

The low damage was not because this world had a strong suppression force. The strong in this world were always strong, but the distance between the strong and the weak was shortened.

The fundamental reason was that this world itself was too strong!

If the void membrane in other places was a layer of plastic film, the membrane here was an alloy steel plate.

Sequence 6 could only make a scratch on the membrane, but Sequence 4 could only make a small cut.

Because of the strength of the world itself, the gap between different life levels was shortened.

The Outer God showed a sinister smile and took the knife again.

"Black Abyss!"

As the Outer God whispered, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the originally colorless world.

The black shadow expanded rapidly, dyeing the entire world into a deep black.

A huge black hole opened up in the sky, and dark liquid continued to pour out of the black hole, like an endless abyss spreading downwards.

Unknowingly, the black liquid had submerged everyone's ankles. They tried to rise into the air, but found that their bodies were imprisoned and unable to move.

"Use long-range attack!" The middle-aged man ordered, his voice like thunder.

The woman in ice-blue armor launched the attack first, and the ice crystal spear flashed with cold light, shooting countless ice arrows directly at the Outer God.

The man holding the thunder and lightning double hammer followed closely, and the thunder and lightning burst in the air, forming a thunder net, covering the enemy.

However, all attacks were blocked by the "ash" on the Outer God's body and could not cause fatal damage.

The black liquid continued to climb and spread to the knees.

All the team members looked ugly and painful.

The tall and thin man with double daggers suddenly had black liquid flowing from the corner of his mouth. His face was pale and his eyes were full of despair.

"Ah!" With a shrill scream, his body suddenly exploded and turned into a ball of blood mist.

The life of Sequence 6 ended at this moment.

The middle-aged man roared, and the flaming long sword in his hand slashed down fiercely, cutting off his legs directly from the knees, and blood gushed out.

He abandoned his broken legs and rushed straight to the black hole in the sky.

The Outer God tried to intercept from the back, but was restrained by his teammates below with long-range attacks, and tried his best to buy time for the middle-aged man above.

The next moment, the middle-aged man's flaming long sword drew a blazing arc in the air and slashed at the black hole.

The black hole was split in half in an instant, but then exploded. The terrifying airflow rushed the middle-aged man to the ground fiercely, smashing a nearly 1,000-meter-long pit.

"It's a trap!" Someone exclaimed, but it was too late.

The huge explosion blew everyone away, only the Outer God stood firmly in place.

The next second, the Outer God disappeared and instantly appeared behind the woman in ice blue armor who was flying backwards. His tentacles were like sharp blades, slashing across her neck and instantly separating her head from her body.

The woman's soul left her body and tried to escape, but was hooked back by the tentacles of the Outer God.

Just when the soul was about to be destroyed, a pillar of flame suddenly shot up into the sky not far away, and the blazing fire spread outward, destroying an area of ​​dozens of kilometers in radius.

The middle-aged man jumped out of the flames, his figure like a blazing fire god, and instantly appeared behind the Outer God, slashing with a knife.

This knife directly cut off dozens of tentacles on the Outer God, and caused charred lava to appear at the broken ends, which could not be restored in a short time.

At this time, the Outer God was obviously no match for the middle-aged man who was ignited by the flames.

He fought and retreated, and had the intention of escaping.

The flaming long sword and the tentacles kept fighting in the air, and every collision erupted with earth-shaking energy fluctuations, causing the small range of heaven and earth to tremble.

Just when Lin Shan was about to get sleepy.

The middle-aged man seized the opportunity and stabbed the flaming long sword straight into the heart of the Outer God.

The Outer God let out a shrill scream, and the dark tentacles broke one after another. Black liquid poured out like a waterfall, dyeing the entire sky black.

"Quick!" The middle-aged man roared, and the other team members below took out a thumb-sized gourd from the package around their waists.

As they chanted, energy ribbons of different colors emerged from the gourd, intersecting in the air and finally entangled with the Outer God.

The Outer God roared and struggled hard, and several energy ribbons had obviously been broken.

The middle-aged man pulled out the flaming long knife inserted in the heart of the Outer God, and also took out a jade gourd from his waist and smashed it directly at the Outer God.

The space where the Outer God was located suddenly twisted, and the space trembled like water waves, creating an indescribable sense of distortion.

The tentacles were like a tide being attracted in the twisting, and they poured into the jade gourd one after another.

As the Outer God was sucked into the gourd.

The next moment, the faded world began to restore its color, the blue sky and white clouds reappeared, and the sun shone on the earth again.

All the destruction was left in the past, and the present was not affected at all.

The rubble and debris on the battlefield disappeared like a phantom, and the world regained its tranquility.

After returning to the present time, I saw hundreds of people floating in the air outside the barrier, waiting for battle, and everyone's expression was deeply solemn and vigilant.

In the sky, a huge eye occupied the entire sky, and countless tentacles grew around the giant eye, and the tentacles were like ferocious snakes, slowly wriggling.

The sight of the giant eye is as real as it is chilling.

Its existence oppressed everyone, and its huge size and strange shape caused deep fear to the creatures in the city.

After the barrier disappeared, for some unknown reason, the giant eye also slowly disappeared, as if it had never existed.

The sky returned to calm, but the fear of being stared at could not be dissipated for a long time.

Chaofan in the city is still suspended in the air, observing the surroundings vigilantly.

The girl gradually regained consciousness, but due to the passage of time, she did not remember everything that had just happened.

She looked around and saw several people putting pieces of meat and body parts into a black box.

This scene should have made people feel frightened, but her heart was as calm as water. After all, what she witnessed that night was far more terrifying than what she saw in front of her.

After sorting out the last piece of minced meat, the middle-aged man sighed softly, "If I could have done it earlier..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the woman next to him, "Don't say such things anymore. It's already been agreed. How much life do you think you have left to burn?"

The middle-aged man looked sad and put away the black box. He glanced at the girl and then told the strong man wearing heavy armor and holding a giant shield, "Send her to the reserve camp. At least there will be food and drink." ”

"Okay." The strong man nodded and walked towards the girl.

The strong man's burly body looked particularly huge in front of the girl, like a moving iron tower.

The girl looked petite and helpless, and the difference in body shape seemed like a world of difference.

The strong man knelt down and tried to look as kind as possible, "It's a pity that your family is no longer here. Come with me. I will take you to the reserve camp, where you will be taken in."

The girl stepped back in horror, but there was already a cold wall behind her.

She shook her head desperately, her eyes full of rejection.

The strong man frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Don't want to go? Do you have somewhere else to go?"

The girl nodded immediately, then slowly took off the pendant around her neck and turned its back towards the strong man.

There were a few small words engraved on the back of the pendant. The strong man took a closer look and read: "Tower of Ivory - Yerut."

The strong man's eyes widened.

The Tower of Ivory, the Tower of Knowledge in Beiliyuan, the origin of all kinds of advanced scholarship.

Although the Ivory Tower located in Hope City is only a small sub-tower, it is still an important presence supporting half of the sky of Hope City.

The name "Ivory Tower" alone was not enough to surprise the strong man, because he was an elite student who graduated from the Ivory Tower.

What really shocked him was the name "Yerut."

Jerute - the owner of the ivory tower behind the high wall of hope. This signature is undoubtedly written by the tower owner himself.

The strong man stood up and said softly to the girl, "Little girl, wait here for me for a while."

After speaking, he quickly walked towards the middle-aged man and briefly reported the situation.

The middle-aged man glanced in the girl's direction seriously, "In that case, then you should send her to the Ivory Tower. The old tower master is unpredictable, and this girl may be special."

The strong man nodded, walked back to the girl, stretched out a thick arm, and said as gently as possible.

"Sit on my arm and I'll take you to the Tower of Ivory. The Tower of Ivory is in the high-walled inner city. It's a bit far away. Remember to tell me when you're tired."

The girl hesitated, but only for a moment. She raised her legs and carefully sat on the strong man's strong arms. She still held the bone stick tightly in her hand, as if it was her only support.

When the strong man saw that the girl was stable, he smiled and patted her on the back, and then threw the giant shield high into the air.

The giant shield spins in the air.

The strong man bent his knees slightly, jumped suddenly, and landed on the giant shield accurately.

Using the giant shield as a mount, the strong man took the girl and flew towards the center of the city.

During the flight, the strong man looked down at the girl on his arm from time to time to confirm her condition.

There was surprise in the girl's eyes, but more importantly, tenacity. She clutched the bone stick tightly and looked forward firmly.

After two hours of flight, the sky gradually turned blue.

When they approached the central area of ​​the city, the strong man took out a token and printed it in the void in front of him.

A cross light lit up on the token.

The next second, the giant shield seemed to have entered the dimensional space under the pull of this power and disappeared instantly.

"Hold on tight, the inner city is ahead."

The girl grabbed the strong man's arm tightly, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

"We have arrived. The high-walled inner city is connected to 17,363 outer cities. It is the largest gathering place of the Beiliyuan human race."

Human race?

The bones in the girl's hand fluoresced slightly.

What does human race mean?

Not just look alike?
