Chapter 188 Long time no see, do you still remember me?
"Roar!"
Countless roars gathered into waves of sound, echoing over the canyon.
Interspersed with deafening thunder.
The blazing lightning almost dyed the sky above the canyon a layer of blue and white.
Hundreds of Thunder Abyss giants held battle axes made of condensed lightning, their bodies covered with fine arcs of electricity, as if they were wearing lightning armor, and they charged at the two wizards fiercely.
Surrounded by giants, Shang Tao and Peng Ji were covered in cold sweat and felt a bitter taste in their mouths.
They secretly sneaked into Luo Lei Valley to collect some of the blood of the Thunder Abyss Giant for experiments. They thought it would be easy to capture them. Who would have thought that they had just sneaked into the place where the Thunder Abyss Giant usually rested. Before they could do anything, they heard a roar. , and immediately they were surrounded by the Thunder Abyss giants.
It was as if these Thunder Abyss giants had known that they were coming and were ready to wait for him.
The leader of the Thunder Abyss giant looked at the two of them with extremely hateful eyes, as if he had killed his son, which really made the two of them confused.
Shang Tao and Peng Yi are both second-level crystallized wizards, and their strength is not weak. They can face the siege of hundreds of second-level Leiyuan giants, including a third-level Leiyuan giant leader, and they still support each other. Clumsy, embarrassed.
If Shang Tao didn't have a third-level magic weapon in his hand, which made the leader of the Leiyuan Giants quite afraid and did not dare to attack with all their strength, they would have been unable to withstand it long ago.
But even so, under the siege of the Thunder Abyss giants, their mental energy was consumed rapidly, and it seemed that they could not last much longer.
"Damn it, we can't go on like this, we have to find a way to break out!" Shang Tao shouted anxiously.
Peng Yi's cheeks twitched and he gritted his teeth.
Of course he wanted to break through, but he had to be able to do it.
The terrifying leader of the Thunder Abyss Giants was watching eagerly next to them, ready to attack. Once they showed the slightest sign of wanting to break out and escape, they would definitely be attacked head-on.
For a moment, Peng Yi couldn't help but feel a little desperate.
But at this moment, Peng Yi suddenly saw the leader of the Thunder Abyss giant suddenly turning his head, looking straight into the distance, and then roared, and his majestic body rushed towards the distance like a stream of water.
The sudden turn of events stunned Peng Yi and Shang Tao. They looked in the direction in which the giant leader of Leiyuan rushed, and found that there were three more figures at the entrance of the valley.
There were two men and one woman, led by a young wizard who looked to be twenty years old at most.
What's even more surprising is that there are three haggard Thunder Abyss giants suspended out of thin air below the three of them, their bodies bound by silver metal.
Only then did Peng Yi and Shang Tao understand why the giant leader of Leiyuan was so excited.
What surprised them was that when faced with the fierce leader of the Thunder Abyss giants, the young wizard seemed very calm and did not see any movement from him. Countless silver metal liquids suddenly appeared and quickly condensed into a metal spike, followed by lightning. .
The next moment, metal spikes wrapped with lightning shot out.
boom!
The Thunder Abyss giant rushed in as if it had been hit by a meteorite. It screamed and fell backwards at a faster speed than when it came. It hit the rock wall hard, and its huge body was almost entirely embedded in the rock wall. Dark blue. There was even a shocking wound on his chest and abdomen.
"Level 3 wizard!"
Peng Yi and Shang Tao looked dumbfounded and filled with shock.
Being able to severely damage the giant leader of Thunder Abyss with one blow must be at least a level three wizard.
The young wizard in front of him turned out to be a powerful third-level wizard!
After knocking away the leader of the Thunder Abyss Giants with one blow, the young wizard put down the three Thunder Abyss Giants and left with the other two without looking back.
The Leiyuan giants in the canyon were in chaos because their leader was severely wounded. They did not pursue them for a while, and there were also flaws in the siege of Peng Yi and Shang Tao.
After coming back to their senses, Peng Yi and Shang Tao took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and fled the Thunder Valley in panic before the giant Lei Yuan could react.
After leaving Thunder Valley, Peng Yi and Shang Tao breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. Without taking a moment to catch their breath, they hurriedly chased after the young wizard again.
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment."
Pei Ze paused when he heard the voice and turned around to look.
Peng Yi and Shang Tao came closer, with smiles on their faces, and said: "My name is Peng Yi, he is Shang Tao, we are from Star Alliance Blue Bay City, thank you for your help just now." Blue Bay City
?
Pei Ze's expression moved slightly, and he remembered that this wizard city seemed to be not far from Chenxi City, and there were many contacts between them.
"You're welcome." Pei Ze waved his hand.
He actually didn't want to save the two of them. He wouldn't bother to save two strange wizards he didn't know for no reason.
It was only when the leader of the Leiyuan Giants discovered him that he rushed over like crazy and he had no choice but to fight him off. It was just a coincidence that he helped Peng Yi and the two escape.
Peng Yi asked cautiously: "I don't know who you are."
"My name is Pei Ze, from Dawn City of the Star Alliance."
Peng Yi and Shang Tao had already guessed that Pei Ze should also be from the Star Alliance. After all, in the multiverse The only wizard civilization is the Astral Alliance, and more than 99% of the wizards are from the Astral Alliance.
What surprised the two of them was that the person in front of them actually came from the neighboring Chenxi City.
After learning that Pei Ze came from a neighboring city with friendly relations, Peng Yi's smile deepened. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that Shang Tao next to him had a strange look on his face, and he was slightly surprised.
"What's wrong?" he asked his friend in a low voice.
Shang Tao did not answer his question, but stared at Pei Ze and said hesitantly: "Your Excellency, have you ever participated in the competition between Red Lotus City and Chenxi City?"
Pei Ze glanced at him and nodded slightly: "I I did participate."
Peng Yi also reacted at this time, looking at Pei Ze in astonishment with wide eyes.
Pei Ze?
Is this person Pei Ze from Dawn City?
It is said that he was promoted to wizard at the age of seventeen, and then it took less than two years to break through and become a genius of the second level wizard?
Peng Yi never expected that a wizard he met by chance in the Shadow Realm would be the famous genius wizard from Dawn City.
Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces, Pei Ze was a little surprised: "Do you recognize me?"
Peng Yi and Shang Tao looked at each other and nodded in unison.
The latter explained with a smile: "Your Excellency's reputation has long spread to several wizard cities around us, and I estimate that there should be many wizards in the entire Star Alliance knowing about you now." "What should I say?"
Pei Ze said now I was really surprised.
It makes sense that the wizards in Blue Bay City have heard of him. After all, Dawn City and Blue Bay City are not far apart, and the two sides have close contacts.
But to say that his reputation has spread throughout the Star Alliance is a bit unbelievable.
Pei Ze is self-aware. Although his strength far exceeds that of many of his peers and is far ahead among the younger generation in Dawn City, when it comes to the entire Star Boundary Alliance, he is far from outstanding.
There are countless geniuses in the Star Alliance, and the 19-year-old second-level wizard can only be considered outstanding among them.
Among other things, most of the direct descendants of those rule wizards were promoted to third-level wizards at the age of eighteen, and some even became elemental wizards before they were twenty years old.
Compared with these people, Pei Ze's current achievements are not outstanding.
Of course, with the omniscient eye, he believed that he would be able to catch up with those people sooner or later.
Seeing Pei Ze's confusion, Peng Yi explained with a smile: "In two years' time there will be a battle of the Holy Ring that happens once every twenty years. According to the rules, only third-level wizards who are twenty years old and under can participate in the battle, and our Blue Bay City, And you, Chenxi City, plus Red Lotus City, there are only two and a half people who meet the qualifications to participate." The
Battle of the Holy Ring is famous throughout the Star Alliance.
It originated from an ancient wizard's tower called the Tower of the Circle.
This wizard tower is said to have been left behind by a powerful wizard in the Dark Ages. After it was discovered by the Star Alliance, it was specially transformed into a venue for the Battle of the Holy Circle to select outstanding young wizards.
Every major wizarding city will actively participate in the Battle of the Holy Ring.
Just because the wizard city where the victorious wizard is located will receive massive resources from the Star Alliance in the next twenty years, and the rewards will be extremely generous.
Not only can they get great glory, but they can also gain massive benefits for the wizard city where they are located. The geniuses of the Star Alliance naturally flock to the Tower of the Holy Ring.
Pei Ze raised his brows and showed a clear smile: "It seems that I am the half."
Shang Tao smiled: "Your Excellency, you have broken through from the first level to the second level in less than two years, and you have also surpassed the level. He has killed many third-level aliens and is not inferior to third-level wizards in terms of strength. In two years, it should not be difficult to advance to the third-level wizard. Many of our wizards in Blue Bay City believe that Dawn City will participate in the Battle of the Holy Ring in two years. The representative wizard must be you."
Pei Ze refused to comment. None of the regular wizards in Dawn City have direct descendants, so if he can advance to the third level wizard, he is indeed the only one who meets the qualifications to participate in the Holy Ring War.
No wonder many wizards in other wizard cities in the Star Alliance have heard of his name.
The reason for being brave is to collect intelligence on competitors in advance.
After chatting for a few more words, Pei Ze was ready to leave.
After learning that Pei Ze's destination was Aowo Castle, Peng Yi and Shang Tao shamelessly proposed to go with them. They happened to be going to Aowo Castle as well.
Pei Ze didn't refuse.
So the group set off towards Ovo Castle.
After knowing that Pei Ze was the genius wizard in Dawn City, Peng Yi and Shang Tao became obviously more enthusiastic, and they almost cultivated a relationship with him along the way.
Although they belong to different wizard cities, if they can make friends with a promising genius wizard like Pei Ze, they may benefit from it in the future, so the two of them are very active.
Pei Ze knew it, but didn't show anything.
When the sky turned slightly yellow, the group returned to Ovo Castle.
After exchanging secret marks, Peng Yi and Shang Tao said goodbye and left with satisfaction.
Pei Ze took Su Ya back to the Rainbow Hotel.
Turning to look at the counter, Idar was not there. There was only an Argonian standing conscientiously behind the counter.
Pei Ze took one look and then looked away and returned to his room.
Previously, in order to create dragon patterns and analyze the ability to predict the appearance of the dark realm, he had put it on hold. Now, in addition to improving the dragon egg texture, he only had this task, so he naturally had to accelerate it with all his strength.
So in the following time, Pei Ze stayed in the hotel and concentrated on practicing while waiting for the task to be completed.
After more than a month, under the dual acceleration of the dragon pattern and the secret method of visualization, his mental power increased much faster than before.
By the time the ability analysis was completed in the Dark Realm, Pei Ze's mental power had soared to energy level 264.
In addition, the Omniscient Breathing Technique finally broke through to the eighth level, causing his physique to suddenly increase to 285 energy levels, officially breaking through to the fifth level legendary realm.
The fifth-level legendary knight is enough to compete with the first-level crystal wizard, and Pei Ze's body has been strengthened many times, and the awakened power of the thunder element far exceeds that of the same-level legendary knight in both quantity and intensity.
Now, even if he doesn't cast spells or use various trump cards, he can still confront the second-level wizard head-on with just his physical fitness and elemental power. This kind of power is absolutely unbelievable among legendary knights.
After all, even wizards find it difficult to fight across levels, let alone legendary knights challenging high-level wizards.
"We already have the means to break through the darkness. It's time to deal with the Pei family."
Pei Ze looked out the window, a faint light flashing in his eyes.
He jumped out of bed, opened the door and walked to the corridor outside.
After leaving a letter to Su Ya and Peng Yan, he left the Rainbow Hotel directly.
The Netherland Plain is too dangerous. Even if he had the means to predict the emergence of the Netherland, Pei Ze was not sure of protecting Su Ya and Peng Yan, so he was not prepared to take them there.
After leaving Owo Castle alone, Pei Ze used the levitation technique and rushed towards the Netherland Plain like a meteor.
It was almost late at night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
The Shadow Realm at night was more gloomy and dangerous than during the day. Even with the cover of the invisible sphere, Pei Ze encountered four or five attacks from magical creatures along the way.
Fortunately, they were all first- and second-level magical creatures, and they were easily dealt with by him.
There are many terrifying and powerful magical creatures in the Shadow Realm, but they all stay in desolate areas far away from the settlements. They basically do not wander around the settlements, lest they provoke the three powerful beings who established the settlements and lose their lives.
So as long as you don't leave the settlement too far, you basically don't have to worry about encountering magical creatures above level three.
The secluded plain under the moonlight becomes increasingly quiet and serene, giving people a sense of peace.
Only the occasional distortion of the void that suddenly appears, breaking the silence with a slight sound, will people wake up suddenly and recall the danger of this plain.
Pei Ze took a deep breath, cast a precognition spell, and then stepped into the plain.
He did not rush forward rashly, but kept a gentle pace and moved forward cautiously, so as not to dodge and run headlong into a sudden dark place.
After walking for three to four hundred meters, Pei Ze suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart. Without thinking, his figure flashed and moved hundreds of meters away in an instant.
The next moment, a dark gap suddenly opened where he was, and powerful spatial turbulence tore through the surrounding void, forming distortions visible to the naked eye.
Pei Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had a precognition spell, otherwise things would have been terrible just now.
I have to admit that it was a wise choice for the Pei family to arrange their hiding place here. Unless an elemental wizard takes action, few martial artists have the ability to break through the blockade of the outer darkness.
It's a pity that they met the cheating self.
Pei Ze concentrated on moving forward.
The Dark Realm appeared quite frequently, almost every two or three minutes. Fortunately, most of them were far away from Pei Ze. Those who occasionally appeared around him were predicted by him in advance and avoided in time.
As the depth goes deeper, the frequency of the dark realm becomes less and less.
When he didn't encounter the dark realm again for seven or eight minutes, Pei Ze knew that he had passed through the 'barrier' zone.
He felt happy and immediately accelerated his speed and rushed forward.
About half an hour later, a towering stone wall suddenly appeared in the field of vision, stretching nearly a kilometer to both sides.
Pei Ze's expression changed and he knew he had found his target.
He stopped, raised his height and looked down. Behind the stone wall was a series of rolling buildings, and he could vaguely see figures walking between the buildings.
There are also many magical creatures native to the Shadow Realm, which should have been captured by the Pei family wizards to serve as laborers.
"The current number of wizards in the Pei family should be less than a hundred, and most of them are first- and second-level wizards. There should be no more than ten third-level wizards."
According to the information previously released by Chenxi City, among the escaped Pei family wizards, the third-level wizards There were less than twenty people.
Considering that after entering the Shadow Realm, the Pei family wizards must have suffered a lot of casualties in order to gain a foothold. Coupled with the seven third-level wizards who died at the hands of Pei Ze before, the remaining third-level wizards of the Pei family are probably less than ten. people.
But this is just a guess after all. Just in case, Pei Ze doesn't plan to show up and take action rashly.
"It's a pity that we have used up all the explosive insect crystals. Otherwise, if we throw a dozen of them, we would kill at least half of them first."
Pei Ze sighed with regret and summoned Wu Yu.
"Little guy, let's see how you behave."
The spacious hall was brightly lit.
The eight wizards sat in a circle, all of them looked gloomy and remained silent for a long time.
After a while, a gray-haired old man sighed and broke the silence.
"Zong Guang and the others have been away for nearly three months. They have not returned yet, and they have not received any news. It is probably the worst."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the wizards became more and more ugly.
A black-haired wizard said solemnly: "I still don't believe it. Lord Pei Zongguang is a third-level crystal wizard, and there are more than ten wizards around him. Even if Pei Ze has the strength to fight beyond the next level, it is impossible for Lord Pei Zongguang and the others to continue fighting." If not even a single message can be delivered, the whole army will be annihilated!"
Many wizards nodded subconsciously.
This is also the doubt that has been plaguing them these days.
No matter how powerful Pei Ze is, he can't kill Pei Zongguang and the others!
"Could it be that they encountered some kind of powerful magical creature?"
"The possibility is very small. This is not far from Ovo Castle, and those fourth-level magical creatures will not easily come here." "
It's a pity that Pei Sheng also went out, otherwise with him here, you can more or less get some information by casting precognition spells."
"Okay!"
The old man interrupted everyone's discussion and said with a serious face:
"There is no point in continuing the discussion. , Pei Kang, you take a few people out to investigate, and try to find out as much as possible the whereabouts of Zong Guang and the others, but you have to put your own safety first, we can no longer afford any loss of personnel now." "Yes, sir."
One The wizard stood up and bowed, then turned and walked out of the hall.
The old man looked around and said in a deep voice: "Except for purchasing supplies and collecting materials, no one is allowed to go out without permission." "
Our experiment has reached a critical stage. As long as we persist for a while, we will completely master the evil." After gaining strength, we will have the capital to take revenge on Dawn City. Before that, I hope you can be patient a little longer!" The
wizards looked solemn and responded in unison.
The old man's expression eased slightly, and he nodded and said, "Okay, everyone, go back."
Just in the middle of his words, the expressions of all the wizards suddenly changed.
"The defensive array is under attack!"
"There is an intruder!"
"Who is it?"
The old man stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand, and a light door suddenly appeared in front of him, and then he strode into the light door and disappeared.
The other wizards followed suit.
After passing through the light door, the wizards came to the street outside and looked up into the sky.
The defensive array has been deployed, and the translucent golden halo turns into a circle and covers all the buildings.
Outside the circle, there were countless densely packed black crows, frantically attacking the defensive formation.
"Magical creatures!"
The wizards felt a little relieved. It was just fine for magical creatures. Compared with the pursuers or wanderers of Dawn City, magical creatures were much easier to deal with.
"But what kind of magical creature is this?"
"I feel the power of death. Could it be the Netherworld Crow?"
"No, the Netherworld Crow's power of death is not that weak."
The old man interrupted everyone's conversation in a deep voice and frowned: "Now is not the time for small talk. Let's deal with these monsters first."
The wizards responded one after another with relaxed expressions.
Although they felt that these crows were not weak and numbered at least seven or eight thousand, they did not take it to heart.
After all, they have nearly a hundred wizards here, and it is easy to deal with thousands of first-level legendary magical creatures.
Soon, eight third-level wizards, led by the old man, set out to kill the crows.
Many wizards from the Pei family who came later also joined the battle.
Under the joint attack of more than eighty wizards, the crows suffered heavy losses, and nearly half of them were killed in less than two minutes.
Just when everyone in the Pei family thought the victory was certain, something unexpected happened.
A golden stream of light suddenly shot out from somewhere in the crowd of crows, hitting a third-level wizard. The latter had no time to react. His body was instantly broken down into fine particles, and he died beyond belief.
After instantly annihilating one person, the golden stream of light still had enough power to shoot towards the second person.
Fortunately, a companion sacrificed to buy a moment of time. The second wizard had already reacted and used various protective spells to block the golden stream of light.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a spear of lightning struck through the air, piercing his chest. The blazing lightning exploded, turning him into ashes and disappearing.
In the blink of an eye, two third-level wizards died.
The sudden change made all the wizards change their expressions in shock. The old man's face changed wildly. He waved his hand and released a dissociation technique in the direction of the golden stream of light, and shouted angrily.
"Who!"
scoff!
The dozen fog crows blocking the path of the gray light were instantly dissociated completely.
The next moment, a palm wrapped with lightning slowly stretched out, easily blocking the gray light. The five fingers were pressed together and the gray light was instantly extinguished.
Pei Ze, who had been hiding among the crows in advance, finally appeared and looked at the Pei family wizards with a half-smile.
"Everyone, long time no see, do you still remember me?"
