Chapter 91 The Man Guarding the Wall
Chapter 91 "The Man Who Guards the Wall"
Under the tangled World Tree, Germain and others took a temporary rest.
They took off their gas masks, fanned themselves, and took out food and water.
After the battles along the way and the killing of several Phoenixes just now, Germain's "Capacity" reached 46 points, and there were only 4 points left from the limit of "Master".
Of course, reaching "Capacity" does not mean that Germain is now a "Master".
It's just that he already has a solid foundation to become a "Master", which can be simply understood as he has the qualifications and upper limit to become a "Master".
During the rest period, Germain took a special look at the projection of the "Hunter Badge" and confirmed that there were less than two hours left before the cooling of the teleportation lantern.
Biscuit looked up and saw that he could not see the crown of the World Tree, but only the rows of bark lines.
"Little drop." She suddenly had an idea, "If we can cut down this World Tree, can your "Bulging Eye Fish" swallow it?"
"No. "Xiao Di bit a sandwich cookie, and the crumbs fell on the collar of her sweater. "The other "restriction and oath" of "Bulge-eyed Fish" is about this."
"I don't know how big the space inside it is, but it can only absorb objects with the volume of a swimming pool at a time, and then it will be forced to stop."
"If there is no such "restriction and oath", let alone the fallen world tree, it can even absorb those volcanoes in one piece."
"I see." Bisji nodded, "Not only do we have to knock down the world tree, but we also have to cut it into pieces the size of a swimming pool. The workload is really too large."
She sighed and had to give up. Just knocking down the world tree is enough to consume a lot of time and energy, not to mention cutting it.
However, Bisji still asked Yun Gu to help cut off a small piece of the root exposed on the soil layer and let Xiao Di swallow it with the "Bulge-eyed Fish".
"Let the plant hunters study it when there is a chance." Bisji said, "See what other differences there are between the world trees here and the world trees in the six continents, except for their size."
After another ten-minute rest, everyone set off again after German returned from patrolling the surrounding area.
It took them nearly a quarter of an hour to get around the side of the huge world tree, and this was when they accelerated their leap forward, which showed how huge it was.
At this time, at the end of the winding tree roots and the cracked soil, an unexpected obstacle appeared.
There was a wall between the world trees, which stood tall and tens of meters high, stretching across the place.
A little closer, they could see that the wall was full of strange patterns, surging like waves, causing everyone to have unspeakable reverie.
"There is a wall here..." Bisji murmured, "Although it is not surprising that there are intelligent creatures in the Dark Continent, I can't help but be surprised when I really see the evidence."
The four people did not touch the wall that separated the inside and the outside, but observed silently, and Bisji kept taking pictures with his mobile phone.
Jerman thought for a while and told everyone his inference.
"There are magical beasts called "gatekeepers" in the Dark Continent, and the magical beast sub-species called "guides" they summoned."
"The area where the gatekeepers are located is either the outer sea of the Dark Continent or the coast of the Dark Continent, and the guides are responsible for allowing humans to land on the Dark Continent smoothly."
"Since there is such a precedent, it doesn't seem so difficult to understand that they set up a wall on the boundary line of the World Tree. However, if this is the case..."
"There will be "people guarding the wall" nearby." Bisji followed German's unfinished meaning and continued, "Indeed, this possibility is still relatively large."
"Ah." Xiaodi suddenly shouted, scaring everyone.
She adjusted her glasses and said, "Could the palm prints left at the bottom of the Spider Valley be left by the 'Guardian of the Wall'?"
Although she looked confused, she could occasionally say something interesting.
Jermain listened and nodded, "It is indeed possible. This place is not far from the bottom of the Spider Valley. We'd better be careful."
"What should we do now?" Bisji asked, "Should we go over this wall directly, or climb up the World Tree and then go over it, or walk to the side for a distance to see if there is a passage?"
Jermain shook his head, "If the 'Guardian of the Wall' does exist, then it is unlikely that there will be a passage or a gap. Let's go over it to save time."
"Yeah." Bisji nodded and looked at Xiaodi, "What do you think?"
"I think it's better to go over it." Xiaodi agreed with Germain's plan.
Bisji looked at the last person in the group.
Yun Gu, who temporarily changed shifts with Germain and expanded the "circle" nearby to be responsible for vigilance, did not participate in the topic.
"Yun Gu?" Bisji shouted.
Yun Gu did not respond immediately, but suddenly turned around and flew towards the crowd.
"Danger!" Yun Gu looked solemn and shouted at them, "Something is approaching, a huge aura!"
Jerman and others were startled at first, and then subconsciously gathered their aura, but they looked left and right, but did not see the enemy until the aura that Yun Gu mentioned came crashing down.
The buzz-like fluctuations made the four of them feel in a daze. They even felt helpless like ordinary people when faced with the "evil thoughts" released by "psychic users".
However, when they looked towards the direction of the incoming air, which was the top of their heads, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, they still could not see anything.
Germain was suffocated for a moment, and then he saw his "pressure" soaring as if he had stepped on the accelerator.
"Pressure +20" "Pressure +20" "Pressure +20"
Before embarking on this journey to the Dark Continent, Germain also specifically asked Bisji to use "Magic Beautician Miss Cookie" to relieve himself of "stress".
He thought this was enough, but at this moment he was helplessly watching the "pressure" soar to 64 points in just a few seconds!
As the "pressure" soared, Germain's vision also gradually changed. He saw the huge black shadow and a broad palm reaching down from it!
That's it! Absolutely it!
Germain instantly realized the connection between the palm prints at the bottom of Spider Valley, the person guarding the wall, and this tall black shadow!
While Bisji and Xiaodi were still in a daze on guard against the invisible enemy, Germain was the first to react. Only he could see this palm!
"Run!" Germain shouted loudly, "It is invisible, stay away from the range covered by its energy!"
After being reminded by Germain, everyone also woke up and retreated in different directions under the pressing force.
"Stress +20"
Germain also quickly evacuated in one direction, but unexpectedly the palm also changed direction and was aimed at him.
"It's coming for me." The next moment Germain realized this, his "pressure" exceeded 100 points.
Black dark energy and scarlet halo erupted from Germain's body. It was a product of half a ring intertwined with several small arrows. The "torture" called "masochism" suddenly appeared!
He paused involuntarily, and the huge palm suddenly erupted with endless suction, sucking him up into the air and holding him firmly in the palm of his hand.
"Germain!" Someone called his name, but his ears could only hear vague murmurs. He didn't even feel that he was in danger.
The physical pain made him feel inexplicable happiness.
With a pop, the huge hand tightened, and under the horrified gazes of Bisji, Xiaodi and Yungu, German's whole body exploded into black and red air in mid-air, and dissipated with the wind!
