Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 378 Dimensional Space
Last day of June.

The sky was clear and the air was fresh, the breeze was gentle and the sun was shining.

The Nazca Altar, sealed for hundreds of years, welcomed its new guests—Xu Shen, Mo Fan, and Shaga.

Because of the sacred texts, Yu Mian and Tang Yue will be placed in the next batch.

A dimensional glow flashed.

Amidst the Nazca Lines' furious roar, Xu Shen vanished from the center of the altar, only to reappear in a...

Xu Shen never imagined that the teleportation array was actually located above a solid layer of rock.

True physical suppression.

Such immense pressure would likely crush an ordinary person into a bloody pulp in an instant.

Fortunately, they came in one by one.

Otherwise, given Shaka's small stature...

Xu Shen, still shaken, struggled to open his arms and slowly stood up, creating some space for himself.

After a while, Shaja and Mofan entered one after the other.

The two stared in disbelief at the towering Xu Shen.

"Stop standing there, dig!"

Mo Fan has also had many lucky breaks. Although his physical abilities are not as good as Xu Shen's, they are still very strong.

The two of them, one supporting and the other digging, worked together quite well.

A brownish luster shimmered in Shaka's palm, and an earth-elemental star trail instantly took shape.

However, the highly practical [Earth Wave Teleportation] in this magical plane couldn't even shake the rubble beneath Xu Shen's feet.

Xu Shen said helplessly, "Shaka, don't bother. There is no magic power in this world. Even if you manage to conjure up the star constellations of forbidden magic, you won't be able to draw upon the power of heaven and earth in the slightest."

"Ok."

Shaja felt a little regretful; she really wanted to do her part.

However, the excessively thick rock face was still a bit too much for her.

To make matters worse, the air here is so thin it's practically negligible.

She could feel herself having trouble breathing, but she endured it because she didn't want Xu Shen to worry.

After a while, Mo Fan also felt a bit of chest tightness and dizziness.

As for Shaka, she had already fainted.

Xu Shen was anxious, but he knew that there was no use in being anxious.

Time passed little by little.

He stepped on the rubble that Mo Fan had dug out and gradually climbed up, and could clearly feel that the strength required to support him was getting less and less.

"Mo Fan, just hang in there a little longer, I feel like I'm almost at my limit!"

Xu Shen glanced at Shajia, whose face had turned pale, gritted his teeth, and pushed harder.

Finally, he punched through the last layer of earth, and sunlight squeezed in through the rubble and dust.

The three were able to see the light of day again.

Mo Fan plopped down on the ground, breathing heavily.

"A familiar scent... but unfortunately, it's not a familiar world."

He wrinkled his nose, muttered to himself, wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes filled with a mixture of disappointment and complexity.

Xu Shen disregarded everything else and pulled Shajia, who had already fainted from lack of oxygen, to perform artificial respiration.

After a while, Shaka's purplish skin gradually returned to its rosy color. Before her eyes were even open, her nimble little tongue was already drowsy and habitually slipped into Xu Shen's mouth.

Sensing that Shaka seemed to be regaining consciousness, Xu Shen pried open her eyelids. Her clear, amethyst eyes shone brightly, showing no signs of dimming. He could look at her endlessly.

The mage's physique was extraordinary after all. The half-hour of suffocation did not cause irreversible damage to Shaka. Xu Shen breathed a slight sigh of relief and began to cooperate with her invasion.

"Brother, that's enough."

Saga Yong was defeated in less than three seconds and shyly pushed Xu Shen away.

Now, the three of them finally had time to observe this new world.

This was a vast, empty field, with no one around. The sky was hazy and filled with an unpleasant smell of sulfides, tar, and other substances.

Xu Shen sat down and looked inward.

Although the demonic energy has disappeared, the primordial spirit remains, and mental power can still be used.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Divine sense swept across the contract space.

The blood cocoon enveloping Apas absorbed the mountain of dimensional diamonds methodically, its transformation process undisturbed in the slightest.

The little fairy huddled up listlessly.

Ever since the victim's talent inexplicably awakened, it seems to have grown increasingly fond of maintaining its dragon form.

"Fox Mother, where is this opportunity you speak of?"

Inside the contract space, the little fox, who had been sleeping for ages, finally opened its eyes. Its amber eyes seemed to reflect the starry sky, making it incredibly beautiful. "In this world, find any quiet place where you can cultivate in seclusion, and I will teach you the true Qi Refining Method."

Xu Shen was taken aback: "The real Qi Refining Method?"

"Ah."

The little fox stretched lazily, yawned, shook its soft white fur, changed its position, and fell asleep peacefully again.

Xu Shen remained silent in deep thought.

He had long sensed that something was wrong with the Qi cultivation method he had learned.

Unexpectedly, something really wasn't right.

Mo Fan stretched and said, "Let's go. Since we can smell this, we shouldn't be too far from the city."

His tone was calm and confident, as if he knew this world very well.

Xu Shen was a little confused, but trusting in the guy's character, he didn't hesitate and picked up Shaka to follow.

"Brother, I can walk by myself."

"I know."

"Then let me down."

"Don't let it go."

"why?"

"Don't ask, just feel it with your heart."

"Oh……"

Mo Fan is still quite reliable.

As the unpleasant smell intensified, the three began to see the outline of the city.

The houses, some tall and some short, are scattered about, with occasional huge chimneys towering high, from which thick smoke billows out.

The railway tracks extending into the city are roughly similar to the bullet trains on Earth.

The three people's strikingly different attire as outsiders aroused the curiosity and vigilance of the city's native inhabitants.

More and more people rushed over and surrounded the three of them.

Some unruly men had their chests bare.

Xu Shen saw the Li Fan flower emblem printed on their chests.

This ancient mark is a symbol of the ancient Native American tribes.

As expected, their guess was correct. The survivors from that time reached this dimensional space through the teleportation array guarded by the Nazca Lines, forging a different path and developing a unique civilization.

The two sides exchanged a string of words in Spanish.

Xu Shen's face was stiff from smiling, as he tried his best to portray himself as harmless.

However, the language barrier makes facial expressions particularly pale in their ability to convey emotions.

A local foreigner standing in the back row enthusiastically held up a stick-like object that was thin at one end and thick at the other.

The people in front made way, and Xu Shen and the others also saw these strangely shaped sticks.

Strangely, Xu Shen had never seen them "hold" the sticks like this before—the thin end pointing at the three of them, and the thick end resting on their shoulders, and he had no idea what it was for.

"Get out of the way! It's a gun!"

Mo Fan's expression changed drastically, and he tried to pull Xu Shen and Sha Jia aside.

However, it was still too late.

"boom!"

Flames shot out from the muzzle of the gun.

Xu Shen instinctively stepped in front of Shajia, raised his hand and grabbed, revealing many broken copper marbles in his palm, emitting an unpleasant smell.

Mo Fan's face stiffened.

I almost forgot about this guy's abnormal physique.

The craftsmanship looks like something from the 18th or 19th century; it's nothing compared to Xu Shen's, let alone his.

"That's it?"

Even if Xu Shen couldn't understand what these people were saying, he could roughly figure out what they were thinking from their actions and their panicked expressions.

He wasn't angry.

I was just curious about these strange long sticks.

It's not surprising that its power is enough to damage even servant-level demons.

However, those who possess them are just ordinary people.

This is quite rare.

Xu Shen thought of many things in an instant.

Old Mu, the 404 Chamber of Commerce is probably going to make a fortune.
