Daylight broke quickly, and a bright red sun could be clearly seen slowly rising from below the horizon, its crimson light spreading across the orange-red earth.

"Get up, everyone, we're going into the ancient ruins city." Nan Jue urged everyone to get up early.

Xu Fang slowly opened his eyes and walked out of the tent.

After packing their things, the group set off. The black storm had transformed into a colossal monster, seemingly right before their eyes.

After passing through a cluster of ruins, Xu Fang discovered that apart from a pile of seemingly ancient stones, there was nothing else in this ruined city except for the astonishing black storm of lightning that was particularly eye-catching.

Yellowish dust swirled in the air, along with some extremely dry grass clippings and pebbles.

You can also feel the powerful airflow carrying a suction force, drawing these things closer and closer to the lightning storm.

"The wind force is only around level seven or eight," Guan Yu said.

An eight-level gale would be unbearable for most people, but everyone present was a high-level mage with young and resilient bodies, so they could withstand it without any problem.

In contrast, the lightning storm is much less friendly; its power is probably no less than that of a super-level spell. If Xu doesn't use his trump cards, he will most likely be struck to death.

After searching the ancient ruins for a while, they found nothing but a pile of broken stones.

"Damn it! No way! Who the hell said this is untouched virgin land?" Zhao Manyan cursed.

Ai Jiangtu said, "You're free to do as you please. Come back here to meet us within one day. If you can't find us, we're leaving."

Everyone had no opinion.

Xu Fang looked at the lightning with a thoughtful expression.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.

“There’s something good in here,” Xu Fang said confidently. “Look closely, these lightning bolts are a restriction!”

Jiang Shaoxu examined it carefully and exclaimed with delight, "That's right, it's exactly the same as that wooden fish! There might be some treasure hidden inside!"

Because of Jiang Shaojun, Jiang Shaoxu was already very interested in forbidden areas and ruins. He didn't care about whether it was dangerous or not, he was determined to go in today!

Chapter 284 An Incredibly Awesome New Magic!

“The two of us aren’t enough.” Jiang Shaoxu looked at the continuous flashes of lightning and immediately said, “Call Zhao Manyan and let the lightning strike him.”

"If we call on Nan Jue as well, we can break the restriction," Xu Fang added.

"Mo Fan seems to be able to handle a lot of trouble, so add him too!"

"Jiang Yu's giant rock beast is also quite sturdy, so let's take it into account."

“Ai Jiangtu…Ai Jiangtu is one thing, but he also has to stay outside and look after those few idiots.”

Once the chosen people were selected, they began recruiting others to join.

Mo Fan, needless to say, is a self-destructive enthusiast.

Zhao Manyan is a hypocrite; he says no but his actions speak louder than anyone else's.

Jiang Yu only cared about Ye Luosha Feifei; it wouldn't be a big problem if the giant rock beast slashed a couple more times.

Nan Jue's enthusiasm for the ruins is even more intense; he's itching to go even if Xu Fang doesn't say anything.

Once the team was assembled, everyone prepared to enter the lightning barrier.

"Be careful not to get separated, keep the formation."

The area was windy. Visibility was actually very low, and communication devices were further hampered by lightning. Amidst the deafening bird calls and the rumbling wind, communication relied solely on shouting.

Xu Fang was a sound-based mage, and his voice was audible to everyone: "Zhao Manyan, activate your shield! Mo Fan, summon lightning!"

The two did as instructed, carving a path through the lightning barrier. The wind grew stronger and stronger, strong enough to shake even a warrior-level creature.

El Niño crawled out of the Whale's Mark, its hands gripping Xu Fang's shoulders, its little head tilted back, and the beastly shadows surrounding its body opened their mouths wide, as if they were swallowing the gale.

After being exposed to too much wind, his once-delicate head was now shaped like a potato boy.

"Damn, this little guy is awesome." Zhao Manyan laughed. He could tell that it was some kind of water-type creature, and he wondered how Xu Fang had subdued it.

—But its potential is far inferior to my wooden fish magic weapon!

"Everyone, get out of my defensive range. The wind force is now equivalent to a mid-level spell!" Zhao Manyan shouted triumphantly.

"Just a mid-level spell..." Mo Fan said arrogantly and disdainfully.

"You can try what it feels like to be attacked by mid-level magic every second," Zhao Manyan said.

Mo Fan thought for a moment and then shut up.

A continuous barrage of mid-level magic attacks is even more terrifying than high-level magic alone, and its destructive power is unimaginable!

With Zhao Manyan's escort, the group finally arrived safely at the restricted area filled with yellow lightning.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

El Niño was buzzing close to Xu Fang's ear.

"You want to come?"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

"Okay, then you go." Xu's approach to raising children is all about trust; if the child says yes, then he'll take them out for a walk.

El Niño couldn't wait to get closer to the barrier, puffing out his little mouth as he began to suck.

To put it simply, a restriction is a wall made of offensive magical energy, requiring several times the strength of the restriction itself to destroy.

It also has a door and a key. Once you find the door and the key, the restriction isn't actually that scary or inaccessible.

However, El Niño operates in a completely different way from the two mentioned above.

To put it simply, it's like they used some method to remove the honeycomb paper inside the gate. Without the filling, the gate's defensive capabilities plummeted.

"It's... drinking the wind?" Nan Jue asked in shock.

She felt she was quite knowledgeable, but she never imagined that a restricted wind force would be gulped down like milk by a delicate little baby!

"This child is so easy to raise," Mo Fan said enviously, touching the little Yan Ji in the contract space with his mind.

Little Flame Princess remained unmoved.

Mo Fan sighed sadly.

El Niño, having had its fill of the wind, returned contentedly to Xu Fang's embrace. Xu Fang then took out the spirit seed fragment he had obtained from Wang Qi and gave it to El Niño as a dessert.

······

The storm and lightning were dealt with by El Niño, and the fierce winds turned into ordinary winds without any spiritual energy, greatly reducing the pressure on everyone.

Nan Jue moved closer to the barrier to study it carefully.

She gently hovered her hand before the turbulent, restrictive lightning, using her heart to feel and listen to the rhythm of the restriction—how it worked, where its energy came from, whether it was cyclical or random, and if cyclical, when was it weakest…

Xu Fang, who was watching from the sidelines, felt something and subconsciously reached out his hand, imitating her and activating his own sound-based magic power.

The stars connect with each other, and the golden stars and the transparent, colorless star rings complement each other.

In an instant, the entire barrier was exposed to Xu Fang, as if his underwear had been stripped off.

Xu Fang looked at it carefully, like a strange uncle, from top to bottom and inside to outside.

"This is a mid-level combination skill in the sound system!"

Xu Fang's face was full of joy.

Analysis!

That skill is freaking awesome!

With this thing, restrictions, magical tools, and core magic arrays become meaningless to Xu Fang.

Xu Fang only needs to provide magical energy; the solution will be devised by the power of sound.

The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of mental energy; the more complex the task, the greater the mental energy required.

A terrifying water-based array like Dean Xiao's, capable of intercepting emperors, could completely drain Xu Fang from his current state!

Besides, if you want to copy it synchronously after Xu Fang's analysis, you have to rely on your own skills; you really can't do it without some basic knowledge.

This restriction is no ordinary item.

It's too much of a waste to just expend one's own mental energy, so Xu Fang chose to act as Nan Jue's strategist, proposing several key solutions and leaving the main part for Nan Jue to worry about.

"Yes, absolutely right!"

"I can't believe I didn't think of that."

"Well done, Xu Fang! You've been keeping a low profile all along!"

Nan Jue's eyes lit up as she praised him repeatedly. She had thought that Xu Fang's ability to make elemental instruments was already quite impressive, but she hadn't expected him to be even more amazing!

"Alright, stop praising him. Zhao Manyan is about to be struck dead," Jiang Shaoxu urged.

Zhao Manyan, who was holding up his shield, was almost crying. Damn it, if you really care about me, please turn around and even look at me once, okay?

—You're treating me like a part of your lovey-dovey game, I, Old Zhao, am not afraid to say a word against you!

With the restrictions lifted, everyone eagerly went inside.

The forbidden lightning diminished, and suddenly everyone vaguely felt as if they were passing through a waterfall curtain. After encountering some resistance, the view ahead suddenly opened up...

A green field and a vast sea of ​​flowers appeared abruptly before everyone's eyes, like an oil painting, leaving them all stunned.

"So beautiful..."

Jiang Shaoxu and Nan Jue were immediately captivated; the fairytale-like dream scene was simply too enchanting for them!

"There's another city ahead!" Jiang Yu shouted.

At the end of the sea of ​​flowers and green space ahead, there is indeed a small town. The colors are very vibrant, like a scene from a European or American music video, passionate and beautiful.

"This is a separate space."

"This is the real ruins of the ancient city!"

Stepping into this secluded city, it's hard to believe that it has been sealed off for so long.

The entire town was still filled with the unique fragrance of flowers and plants, without any sense of decay. The huge black storm was like a wall of time, freezing this independent space in the past.

"Look at this."
