Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 60: Monsters from Another Space
The three spellcasters did not have much time to chat. After the Lord of Scorching briefly described the observation situation of the space rift behind him to the other two, three magic patterns guided by mental power immediately approached the rift and prepared to enter.

"I've been observing the rift entrance for several months now. The spatial turbulence and energy fluctuations inside are very weak. Otherwise, I wouldn't have invited you to explore with me."

In the Demonic Web plane, any impulsive and reckless behavior and choice will lead to unpredictable and dangerous consequences, which even high-level spellcasters dare not bear easily.

But the rewards from exploring space rifts are also extremely rich.

The spatial rifts that exist fixedly within the magic network often have specific coordinates that are directly projected into the real world. These real coordinates often correspond to the treasures left behind by independent ancient wizards, or the nests of some magical creatures that can physically travel between the two worlds.

As long as the explorer completes the coordinate analysis, he can grab a large amount of precious and unusual magical materials and spoils from the real plane.

There is also a large amount of magical information in the space rifts that can be interpreted by explorers. It can be said that the danger is proportional to the reward.

After Harvey and the other three high-level spellcasters entered the rift, they made sure that their positioning perception was not disconnected before slowly approaching the rift.

But he still waited cautiously for a while, making sure that there were no unexpected situations before entering the rift.

The space inside the rift was not what Harvey had expected.

There are still a small number of energy pipelines from the magic network space, distributed in the cracks like tentacles. It is estimated that it is entirely thanks to these energy tentacles that the cracks and the magic network can achieve spatial connection.

Harvey followed the location traces of the three forum members and moved forward along the area they had explored. He felt that the space rift was increasingly silent, as if it were death.

Everything was in a state of eternal stillness as if the pause button had been pressed. Except for several tentacle-like magic network pipes stretching across the sky, everything in the cracks was laid out in black and white.

Harvey flew slowly and low over the gray and cracked earth, and sensed that three magic patterns were positioned and stopped in front of a huge shadow that looked like a mountain in the distance.

……

"The location of this mountain is the only area in the entire space rift where energy fluctuations and spatial turbulence exist."

"About every half an hour, these turbulent fluctuations will suddenly appear, even spreading to the magic network plane outside the rift."

"I suspect this is the remains of a battlefield where ancient wizards fought against powerful alien creatures. There should be corresponding real-world coordinates."

The Burning Lord cautiously gave his own judgments and guesses.

The Hand of Elements asked tentatively, "So we must complete the coordinate analysis within half an hour and then decisively leave this place."

"That's right. We can't be too greedy. Being able to obtain the real coordinates of this relic is already a rich harvest." The ghost captain seemed to be cautious by nature, firmly suppressing the greed deep in his heart.

"Then let's not delay and start using our mental power to analyze and locate the location immediately!"

Harvey discovered from a distance that the magic patterns of the three high-level spellcasters were scattered and surrounded the pale mountain from different angles. A strong mental power fluctuation surged out from their magic patterns, gathering into a net and covering the mountain range.

"This is how high-level spellcasters analyze the coordinates of the magic network..." Harvey squinted his eyes and observed carefully, trying to gain some useful magical knowledge from it.

He remembered that when the Burning Lord tried to erode his mental power, he used the same method, condensing his mental power into countless tentacles, weaving them into an invisible net that covered him.

The moment the spiritual power net woven by the three people touched the mountain, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, a huge gasp was heard from the mountain, carrying a powerful mental wave that spread to the surroundings.

The three spellcasters' magic patterns lit up almost simultaneously, creating a crystalline shield that resisted the sudden mental fluctuations. The shield covering the teardrop-shaped magic pattern representing the Ghost Captain seemed to be shaky. The Scorching Overlord immediately split two beams of energy, connecting the three together and achieving synchronized shield defense.

"As expected of a legendary spellcaster, his perception and reaction speed far surpass those of ordinary mages..." Harvey couldn't help but admire secretly.

The strange mental power fluctuations immediately retracted, and after a few breaths, they immediately spread out again. This was repeated several times without stopping.

"This... the spiritual energy fluctuations of this mountain are rhythmic, as if it's breathing. Could it be alive?"

If it continues to breathe like this, the three high-level spellcasters will definitely not be able to hold on. After all, mental power is different from magic power, and it cannot be replenished at any time with charging magic stones. It can only be restored bit by bit through meditation.

Fortunately, under the guidance of the legendary spellcaster, they were still able to hold on, despite the waves of mental power that were like tidal waves.

Suddenly, a crystal blue cyclone slowly flew out from the magic pattern of the Lord of Scorching Heat. This cyclone continued to rise to high altitudes, gradually expanding and growing until it covered the sky like a tornado.

As the cyclone spun at high speed, the mental fluctuations that were originally hitting the shield were strangely pulled into the sky and were completely absorbed by the cyclone.

Harvey looked at the cyclone hovering in the sky with some envy, recognizing that it was a projection of a powerful magical weapon unique to legendary spellcasters, which could bring high-level magical weapons in reality into the magic network space to provide assistance to the spellcasters.

Mr. Scorching Lord has definitely explored the alien space rifts in the magic network more than once. His knowledge and experience, coupled with such a powerful magic weapon projection, are probably the basis for him to dare to go deep into various rift spaces again and again.

The strange gasping sounds in the mountains stopped instantly, and the fluctuations with a specific frequency also disappeared.

The three high-level spellcasters also breathed a sigh of relief, communicated with each other for a while, and decided to continue to complete the coordinate analysis while maintaining the shield.

When Harvey saw this scene, he felt that their previous caution seemed a bit unnecessary. He was afraid that this operation would not require a rookie like him, a master of disguise, to take action at all in order to reap a lot of exploration rewards.

The invisible net woven by spiritual power continued to cover the mountain until it was completely wrapped up, like a deep-sea monster caught in a fishing net.

The entire pale and gray space began to vibrate slightly, and Harvey suddenly sensed an ominous sign from the magic pattern, as if some strange existence had triggered the projection of the main star representing destiny in the magic pattern.

not good!

Harvey immediately looked towards the location of the three high-level spellcasters and found that the mountain had suddenly cracked into countless fine dark red cracks. Tiny black and red granulations and short whiskers suddenly protruded from the cracks, making the entire mountain seem to be covered with black and red vegetation in an instant.

The mountain peak made a strange shaking sound that ordinary people could not hear. The black and red granulations and short whiskers trembled synchronously at a strange frequency, as if they were swaying in the wind.

Harvey felt sick at the mere sight of it. If his real self were here right now, he would probably have goosebumps all over his body.

He felt the shock coming from the depths of his mental power and soul. His thoughts and cognition seemed to be tightly imprisoned, and even the light of the magic pattern dimmed.

The three high-level spellcasters who were closer to the mountain were in an even more unfavorable situation. The mental shields of the lower-ranked Ghost Captain and Elemental Hand were instantly shattered, and the entire magic pattern began to tremble violently. The light flowing inside flickered unsteadily, like a candle in the wind.

The Lord of Scorching Heat immediately activated his own magic patterns and plunged into the expanding cyclone in the sky, using the projection of magic tools to resist the vibration.

Harvey now had only one thought in his mind.

My teammates are about to explode. Should I retreat immediately?
