Wizard: Starting with Dealing with Magical Plants

Chapter 261 The Hidden Crisis in Blackrock Town

Inside the rift, the distorted remnants of order, the purifying radiation, and the corrupting energy of death barely maintain a fragile, dynamic, and terrifying balance.

If a new, sufficiently strong force with an order-oriented nature is injected into it from the outside, will it disrupt this balance, intensify the internal energy conflict, and thus disintegrate the cracked structure from within?

Even though Yue Yinhua wasn't around, the power of [Jingchen Star] itself possessed strong settling and stabilizing characteristics.

By combining this understanding of the rule structure within the [Disintegration of Order] spell model, it might be possible to simulate a powerful stabilizer or rule-based disturbance, injecting it into the key nodes of the cracks.

This is more sophisticated and dangerous than direct destruction, requiring a profound understanding of energy and rules.

However, having just experienced a core resonance with the aberration, Rolin has gained a completely new understanding of the confrontation and guidance at the level of rules. Now, facing this small crack, he might as well give it a try.

He silently calculated the pulse cycle, waiting for the next relatively flat period to arrive.

Below the platform, the roars and collisions of monsters could be heard incessantly.

The air was thick with the stench of sulfur, blood, and chaotic energy.

Baha sat quietly on Rolin's shoulder, his six eyes fixed on the crack, seemingly keeping watch for him.

Time passed second by second.

Finally, the energy flow gushing from the main fissure weakened significantly, the light dimmed, and the pulsation entered a period of calm.

The ferocity of the monsters below also decreased. Although they were still crowding and roaring, the frequency of their attacks on each other decreased.

It's now!

Luo Lin suddenly stood up and pressed his hands towards the main crack two thousand meters away!

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the [Quiet Dust Star] shone brightly, its power of settling and stabilizing being pushed to its limit!

At the same time, the spell model of [Disruption of Order] has been reconstructed with unprecedented precision. Its goal is not to disintegrate, but to guide and inject!

A point of starlight, refined to its extreme and imbued with a deep silver-gray hue, illuminates the fingertip. Within the starlight, countless tiny rune phantoms, representing specific stable rules, come into being and disappear.

"go!"

With a low shout, the silver-gray starlight flew out of his hand, as if it had a life of its own, drawing a precise arc, avoiding the turbulent energy flow spreading from the outside, and plunging into the main crack, into the core and most chaotic node of the energy pulse!

The moment the starlight entered, the entire main rift trembled violently!

Immediately afterwards, the originally chaotic energy flow inside the crack was like a piece of cold water that had been thrown into a red-hot iron, instantly boiling, clashing, and violently colliding!

Grayish-white, dark red, bluish-white—various lights flashed, intertwined, and then vanished wildly!

The rock wall at the edge of the crack made a teeth-grinding cracking sound, and more rocks fell!

The monsters at the bottom of the valley were startled by this sudden change and froze for a moment. Then they burst into even more terrified and frantic roars and began to scatter and trample each other!

Roland stared intently at the crack, focusing all his mental energy on maintaining the starlight that acted as a "powerful stabilizer," guiding it to continuously react with the chaotic energy within the crack and exacerbate its internal conflicts.

It's like throwing a small piece of catalyst into a room filled with flammable and explosive gas.

The effect was even more intense than expected!

The energy conflict inside the crack escalated rapidly, evolving from simple collisions into small-scale, localized energy annihilation and eruptions.

The cracks began to twist and deform, and the ejected energy flow became intermittent and extremely unstable!

At this rate, it won't be long before the main rift closes itself due to the complete collapse of its internal energy structure.

It could even cause small-scale collapses!

It worked!

However, just as Rolin was about to breathe a sigh of relief and withdraw his mental energy, another unexpected event occurred!

Deep within the main rift, at the center of the boiling, conflicting energy vortex, a faint, yet incredibly powerful, dark golden light with a cold, metallic quality suddenly flashed!

Immediately afterwards, a cold, incongruous energy, carrying a clear intent to investigate, traced back like a venomous snake along the mental connection that Rolin had not yet fully withdrawn!

That thought was cold, efficient, devoid of any emotion, and filled with an inhuman sense of logic.

It "saw" Rowling.

Then, a very brief message was transmitted, which almost froze Rolin's blood: "Detected — Benign rule interference behavior — Coordinate marker — Backup protocol activated — Recycling procedure — Standby —"

The message abruptly stopped, and that chilling thought vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.

But on Rolin's wrist, the pale blue dot that had been marked by the "Heritage Protector" mechanical spider, suddenly began to burn intensely without warning, emitting a piercing, cold luster that shared the same origin as the dark golden light!

Immediately afterwards, deep within the main rift that was about to collapse, space suddenly twisted violently, and an extremely unstable miniature spatial vortex, barely large enough for a fist to pass through, was forcibly torn open and emerged, enveloped in dark golden light!

At the center of the vortex, something dark golden seemed to be slowly being "spit out"!

Luo Lin's expression changed drastically.

Damn!

Deep within that rift, there was actually an automated beacon or teleportation node connected to the Observer Legacy Advanced Protocol?!

Did my intervention just now inadvertently activate it?!

It's marked itself, so what is it going to send over?!

Recycling procedure?

What are we recycling?

Moonflower?

Or is it—myself, the benign rule-maker?!

Without any hesitation, Luo Lin forcibly severed all mental connections with the rift, and without even bothering to observe whether the rift would collapse or what would happen, he turned around and rushed back to the cave crevice he had come from!

We must leave here immediately!

Back in Blackrock Town, take Ellie and Moonflower with you, let's go right away!

That dark golden "thing," whatever it may be, is a million times more dangerous than those ferocious monsters outside!

Dark golden light flickered deep within the crack, and the miniature spatial vortex, like a greedy wound, was trying to drag something from the unknown beyond.

The burning pain at the wrist mark was sharp and piercing; it was definitely not a kind one.

Without any hesitation, Luo Lin turned and rushed back into the crevice of the cave he had come from, moving so fast that he created a gust of wind.

Only one thought was in my mind:

Leave! Leave immediately!

The phosphorescent stalactites in the cave cast shimmering shadows under the hurried footsteps.

Baha took flight from his shoulder and led the way, emitting a rapid, low, hoarse cry.

Passing through the narrow crevice, we returned to the middle layer of the canyon. The roars of the monsters outside were still chaotic, but compared to the cold threat brought by the dark golden light, these sounds seemed much more normal.

Rolin no longer checked whether the main rift had collapsed, nor did he have any intention of continuing the fight.

He unleashed his full speed, rushing outwards like an arrow released from a bow, following the route he had come from.

If you encounter a monster blocking your way, avoid it if possible. If you can't avoid it, deal with it using the most swift and decisive methods, striving for a quick victory and never getting entangled.

The path that should have required caution was now being forcibly traversed by him at an almost brute force speed.

Before the chaotic monsters could even react, the figure had already swept past them, leaving behind only a few corpses that quickly fell to the ground.

When we burst out of the canyon, it was already close to the darkest hour before dawn.

There were faint lights and shadowy figures moving around the fence in the direction of the town, as if they were still on guard.

Without stopping, Luo Lin's figure transformed into a blurry shadow as he sped towards Blackrock Town.

The burning sensation on my wrist gradually subsided and disappeared after I left the canyon for a while, and the mark disappeared again.

But that cold, locked feeling lingered in my heart like a leech, impossible to shake off.

Recycling process — on standby —

This means that the activated thing may not be able to arrive immediately, or it may need to meet certain conditions before it can actually start.

But the threat is already hanging over our heads.

We must get Ellie and Moonflower out of Blackrock Town as soon as possible!

We can't stay here any longer!

Not only because of the monster tide, but also because of this retrieval threat originating from the Observer Civilization's advanced protocol, which could arrive at any time!
