I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 259 Goals and Betrayals

After a brief mental simulation, Jemin reached the same conclusion as Levin Mills: "In this way, the search area will increase exponentially, and we can no longer advance in the same formation as before."

“So I’ve decided to divide the wizards into two teams,” Levin Mills said, revealing his idea.

"The wider and higher area above will be searched by our more coordinated team members."

"The relatively narrow area below will be searched by you (the recruited wizards)."

After hearing the arrangement, Jemin and the others had no objections.

Although it is obvious that the wider area is more likely to have access to more resources.

However... firstly, these people are inherently weak; they can barely protect themselves, but their ability to cooperate in combat is almost zero.

Secondly, as recruits, their primary task was to complete the mission of searching for the 'Lost Wizard,' not to find treasure.

Moreover, given their capabilities, it would be better for most of them to cooperate and support each other rather than disperse.

In that case, we might be able to search faster in this narrow area and perhaps even obtain more resources.

So Levin Mills' proposal was settled without any objections or controversy.

……

……

The next day, the two teams of wizards began to proceed separately, strictly following the plan agreed upon the day before.

Because of his superior strength among the recruited wizards, Jemin was elected as the temporary captain.

He led the remaining ten wizards, who had also been recruited, to explore the lower part of the space along a predetermined route.

This space, located below the distorted area, is much smaller than I had imagined compared to the previously empty and desolate region.

After careful exploration, they confirmed that the width of this space might only be a dozen kilometers.

So the wizards stopped scattering and instead gathered together to form a battle formation and advance together.

That way, at least they can look out for each other.

As soon as Jemin entered this area, he could clearly sense that something was different.

Perhaps it is because of this special "inverted trapezoidal" spatial shape that a large amount of matter is able to gather at the bottom.

The clouds beneath their feet finally transformed from their previous illusory and uncertain state into a slightly more "substantial" form.

Although this soft "ground" is of little use to wizards who can fly freely.

But at least when they're resting, they have a safe place to stay.

After searching the area for several more days, Jemin noticed that their search area was becoming increasingly narrow.

The width of the entire space has increased from the initial dozen kilometers to several kilometers.

As the space continued to shrink, the density of the originally pure white earth beneath their feet increased, and various other colors even began to appear.

This means that the density of matter in this area is extremely rich, and there is even "surplus" matter to produce "pigments" that can absorb specific light.

Naturally, the area is becoming increasingly rich in biological and mineral resources.

They encountered more and more different biological communities along the way, and of course, the strength of these communities was also gradually increasing.

However, this is where the advantages of having these recruited wizards gathered together become apparent.

The team combat power that a wizard squad can demonstrate is unmatched by a single wizard.

Even if they occasionally encounter certain special species that are difficult to deal with, learned wizards can quickly find their weaknesses and devise ways to deal with them.

The only regrettable thing is that as the amount of material resources has increased, the amount of pure energy resources has decreased significantly.

Jemin speculated that the high-value energy resources in this area should mainly be found in the high altitudes where matter is scarce.

Therefore, Jack and Levin Mills should have acquired a relatively large quantity of these resources.

However, according to the message from Jack, the area they were searching had also changed.

In contrast to Jemin's situation, the area that Jack's team needed to inspect above was getting wider and wider as they went deeper.

In order to conduct a more thorough inspection, Levin Mills and his team had to significantly slow their advance.

Thus, without realizing it, a speed difference emerged between the search team in the sky and the team advancing rapidly below, creating two distinct gradients that were far apart.

After discovering this, Jemin felt a vague unease.

But he had no reason to describe his unease, and through the mosquito network, Jemin observed that Jack and his team were indeed working very diligently, so he didn't say much.

That day, the wizard team led by Jemin was surprised to find that the size of the area they were exploring was shrinking rapidly as they continued to move forward.

In fact, it quickly formed a space that was narrow and deep, like a canyon, with solid cloud-shrouded cliffs on both sides!
Correspondingly, the vertical height of this space seemed to be rising rapidly without end. Soon, it exceeded Jemin's maximum perceptual range.

All the wizards became cautious.

He dispatched all the "Fireflies" under his control to search the surrounding area carefully.

They were surprised to find that this area, which seemed so suitable for life, was strangely devoid of any living creatures.

Jemin couldn't help but activate his all-seeing eye, risking damage to his soul, to carefully observe whether there were any ambushes nearby.

But the result was the same as the previous investigation: nothing was found.

After drinking a bottle of healing potion, Jemin looked at the others: "What do you think we should do?"

The group looked at each other, and after confirming that the surroundings were indeed safe, they decided to continue.

After an unknown amount of time in this seemingly endless canyon, Jemin suddenly sensed that some of the "fireflies" flying at the forefront seemed to have entered an extremely open area!

Even with his current mental strength, he couldn't get the Firefly to explore the boundary of that area, no matter how hard he tried.

the most important is……

"Strange, it seems like something is blocking our way. Is it a spatial barrier in this distorted space?" Jemin wondered.

The other wizards also sensed this through the shared perception and shook their heads in confusion.

Without much hesitation, the group quickly walked in that direction.

Upon arriving at the vast space discovered by the "fireflies," everyone was awestruck by the sight before them.

Leaving the narrow, misty canyon, beneath our feet lay a vast, white, and barren plain, as flat as a mirror, stretching as far as the eye could see.

On the far sides of the earth, extremely thick white fog rose vertically as if cleaved by a giant axe.

These white mists formed a magnificent landscape resembling mountains, like two giant walls connecting heaven and earth!

Everyone prepared for battle and continued advancing towards the area that the scout fireflies could not penetrate.

After a long time, they finally arrived at a place not far from that area.

When their vision broke through the layers of white fog and they saw the scene before them clearly, everyone was stunned.

Behind that impenetrable "spatial barrier" sat a wizard who looked badly injured and in a sorry state.

Jemin couldn't see the other person's blood-stained face clearly, but he could still sense the subtle aura emanating from him.

Feeling the vast, abyss-like aura, Jemin couldn't help but swallow.

From his perception, the person in front of him... was actually a level four wizard!

The arrival of Jemin and his companions also alerted the wizard who was healing.

Or rather, those fireflies had already alerted him.

Seeing the unfriendly look in the other person's sharp eyes, Jemin was just about to step forward to greet them and explain their purpose.

Then he saw the wizard suddenly raise his hand towards all of them!

"careful!"

"avoid!"

A cacophony of shouts erupted nearby!
Upon seeing the wizard's blatantly aggressive actions, the other wizards reacted quickly, either raising shields in defense or using magic to conceal themselves.

Despite the vast difference in strength between the two sides, everyone instinctively prepared to resist or dodge the attack that the level four wizard was about to launch!
Only after a moment of stunned silence, Jemin's pupils contracted sharply, and he decisively activated "acceleration"!
Then, relying on the extraordinary reaction speed brought about by the "acceleration", he suddenly turned around quickly!
A massive shield unfolded in the direction from which it had come from, a direction that was once deserted!

Boom! ! !
With a deafening roar, almost as soon as Jemin turned his head to raise his shield, he saw a series of attacks coming from the direction he had come from.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and all the attacks hit the newly deployed shield!

At the same time, the terrifying attack from the fourth-level wizard behind him had already landed silently!

But his target wasn't Jemin and his friends.

Instead, it was Jack and his group, who had attacked Jemin and his friends earlier, and who had somehow arrived here!

As the fourth-level wizard clenched his fist, a large area of ​​space began to distort wildly!
By observing the changing shapes of the surrounding white mist, Jemin could clearly see the spatial distortion that covered the entire sky!
However, this attack, which was enough to instantly kill a level three wizard, missed its target!

Levin Mills and his group seemed to have anticipated this, and as soon as the fourth-level wizard's attack landed, they all retreated, precisely avoiding the area of ​​spatial distortion.

Jemin slowly stood up from the aftershocks of the explosion.

His gaze pierced through the distorted space, fixed on Jack, whose expression was icy cold.
