Wizard: Starting with Dealing with Magical Plants

Chapter 348 Fight!

The emergency exit is located at the base of an abandoned city wall on the northeast side of Muta City. Outside is a dry moat filled with rubble and garbage. Further away are rolling hills and scattered ruins, ravaged by war.

As soon as Luo Lin rushed out, the pungent smell of gunpowder and blood hit him.

In the distance, the sounds of explosions, roars, and energy collisions from the direction of the city resembled a boiling ocean.

Nearby, all was quiet for the moment, except for the sound of the wind and the tumbling of gravel.

But he knew that the silence wouldn't last long.

"Scatter! Find cover! They'll be here soon!"

Captain Quinn lowered his voice, and with a flash, disappeared behind a half-collapsed earthen wall nearby.

Rex and Evan quickly separated. Rex leaped onto the top of a dilapidated arrow tower not far away, while Evan lay prone behind a pile of rubble, holding several rune traps that shimmered faintly in his hand.

Rowling did not seek out fixed cover.

He quickly scanned the surrounding terrain.

The terrain here is relatively open, but it is scattered with a large number of abandoned building foundations, collapsed walls, and dry gullies, making the terrain complex.

Not far away, there was a rocky area that had been swept by the previous spatial storm, making it exceptionally brittle and full of cracks.

It is here.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

The power of [Quiet Dust Star] flowed through my body, calming the agitation caused by my intense heartbeat.

The marker filter on my wrist was still scalding hot, but the connection felt icy cold, like an invisible chain, the other end of which was connected to the Grim Reapers who were relentlessly pursuing me.

The mental energy subtly spread, establishing a very weak connection with the city's remaining, sparse defense network.

This was a temporary backdoor access granted to him in advance by Master Evelyn, limited to the core jamming array.

Although most of the energy nodes were destroyed, greatly reducing the intensity of interference, the control range could be more concentrated because there was no need to worry about the interior of the city.

coming!

Several rapidly approaching, cold, ordered energy reactions came from the edge of the mental energy field!

Hunting type!

The fastest first batch!

Three dark golden streaks of light shot out from the direction of the city, like bullets flying close to the ground, instantly covering a distance of hundreds of meters, and encircling the area where Luo Lin was located in a triangular formation!

The two pairs of energy wings on their backs vibrated at a high frequency, emitting a faint buzzing sound, and the energy guns on their arms were already raised and locked in place!

"Three o'clock! The rocky area!"

Captain Quinn's voice rang out briefly.

Almost simultaneously, Rex fired a bursting arrow with a blazing tail from the arrow tower, precisely intercepting the streak of light on the far right!

Evan also triggered a pre-placed rune trap, and a thick web of shadow energy suddenly unfolded on the ground in front of him!

Boom!

The Explosive Arrow was skillfully dodged by the Hunter's nimble sidestep, exploding into a fireball in the distance.

The shadow energy net only delayed the central stream of light for less than half a second before being forcibly torn apart by its energy shield.

But that's enough time!

Luo Lin's eyes narrowed, and their mental powers instantly connected!

Centered on him, within a radius of fifty meters, countless tiny silver starlight appeared out of thin air and coalesced, transforming into a thin yet resilient energy field carrying the sedimentary rhythm of the [Quiet Dust Star].

This is a miniature quiet zone that he pre-set in this location using the remaining interference array!

The three hunting-type aircraft rushed into the quiet zone, their speed suddenly slowing down!

As if it had been mixed with viscous glue, the light of the energy shield became flickering, seemingly affected by some strange interference.

It's now!

Luo Lin moved!

Instead of retreating, they charged head-on at the hunter-type vehicle in front of them!

The power of the [Starflow Aquatic Field] erupted beneath his feet, making him so fast that he left afterimages. At the same time, his right hand drew a fine gold short blade, the blade condensing highly compressed star power with a deep silver glow!

The hunting-type weapon seemed to have not expected its prey to retaliate. Just as it was about to adjust the firing angle, its movement was slowed by the interference of the stillness.

laugh!

Roland's figure passed by it like a ghost!

The adamantine dagger traced a tricky arc, not aiming for the thickest part of the armor, but precisely piercing the junction between the base of its energy wings and its torso.

That's a relatively vulnerable point for hunters, where mobility is crucial!

The [Silent Star] power attached to the short blade acted like an invisible wedge, instantly disrupting the energy flow at the node!

The right energy wing of the hunter-type suddenly stiffened, its light dimmed, and its entire body lost its balance, tumbling and crashing into the pile of rocks beside it!

At the same time, Captain Quinn sprang up from behind the earthen wall, his scimitar whistling through the air as he slashed fiercely at the neck joint of the Hunter-type vehicle on the left, which was slowed down by Evan's trap!

At the same time, Rex's second armor-piercing arrow also struck, aiming straight for the last hunting-type head sensor!

*Pfft! Clang! Sizzle!*

The hunter on the left was slashed into the gap in the neck armor by Quinn, sparks flew, and its movements were stiff.

The one in the middle was hit in the head by an armor-piercing arrow. Although it did not penetrate, its sensors were damaged, and its movements became noticeably erratic.

Three hunting-type vehicles were all damaged in a single encounter!

Although far from being destroyed, the threat has been greatly reduced!

However, before Rolin could catch his breath, an even heavier and more terrifying sense of oppression suddenly descended from the direction of the city!

The Wutai executioners, like mobile metal fortresses, broke through the dust and appeared in sight with steps that shook the earth!

Their target was clear; the cold, data-driven gaze instantly locked onto Luo Lin!

Immediately afterwards, a sharp whooshing sound came from the sky!

Another seven or eight hunting drones came from different directions to flank us!

Further away, even more violent tremors and the sound of metal tearing came from the direction of the huge pit.

Those three annihilation-type units are about to break free!

A truly desperate situation!

"Go! Retreat deeper into the rocky area!" Captain Quinn roared at Rolin, forcing back the wounded Hunter with a single slash.

Without hesitation, Rowling turned and rushed toward the rocky area riddled with cracks.

The terrain there is more complex; broken boulders can serve as cover, and the unstable ground may limit the movement of heavy units, such as execution units.

Rex and Evan fought and retreated, using arrows and traps to slow down their pursuers.

The group quickly retreated into the rocky area.

Beneath your feet are loose gravel and bottomless cracks, and above your head are jagged rocks.

Behind them, pursuers were hot on their heels.

An execution vehicle charged ahead, ignoring the terrain, its heavy metal feet stomping on the rocks, directly...

The fragile rock layers were crushed and collapsed!

It raised its right arm, and the dark golden energy blade shone with a dazzling light. A huge crescent-shaped blade of light roared out and swept across a large area in front of it!

"Get out of the way!"

Luo Lin's pupils contracted, and he unleashed the full power of [Starflow Aquatic Field], lunging backward behind a giant rock!

Quinn and his two companions also used various methods to dodge.

Boom!!!

As the blade swept across, several houses-sized rocks were cleanly sliced ​​open and shattered!

Rock fragments shot out like cannonballs! Dust and smoke billowed everywhere!

Rolin poked his head out from behind the rock, covered in dust and his ears ringing. The power of the execution type was truly terrifying; it was impossible to fight it head-on.

We must find a way to limit them, or—make use of the environment!

His gaze swept over the deep, bottomless fissures in the ground, with loose rocks constantly falling from their edges.

An even more outrageous plan took shape in his mind.

"Captain Quinn! Rake! Evan! Buy me some time! I need ten seconds!"

Luo Lin shouted into the communicator, while his mental energy surged out wildly. He was no longer just controlling the preset quiet zone, but began to fully communicate with the rocky land beneath his feet, which had been ravaged by the spatial storm and whose energy structure was extremely unstable!

The power of [Quiet Dust Star] was pushed to its limit, no longer merely settling and stabilizing, but attempting to guide the already violent and chaotic ley line energy and residual spatial turbulence in this area!

This is an extremely dangerous operation; a slight misstep could backfire, resulting in being devoured by the out-of-control energy.

But he had no other choice.

Quinn saw the almost tangible silver starlight suddenly emanating from Rolin's body, and his tightly closed yet seemingly burning eyes, and instantly understood. A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of this usually calm Darkblade captain.

"Rex! Evan! Hold them off for ten seconds, no matter the cost!"

"clear!"

With a roar, Rex leaped out of his hiding place and, no longer conserving his arrows, rained down all the remaining explosive arrows, freezing arrows, and armor-piercing arrows on the pursuing execution and hunting types!

Evan went berserk, activating and throwing all the one-time rune traps and explosives he carried!

Captain Quinn charged directly at the executioner at the front, his scimitar blazing with dark red aura flames. He used offense as defense, frantically attacking the leg joints in a near-suicidal manner, attempting to slow its advance.

Boom! Bang! Bang!

The explosion and the flashes of energy collision instantly engulfed the entrance to the rocky area!

Rick and Evan were quickly injured and thrown away by the shockwave of the explosion.

Captain Quinn was also struck by the Executioner's Sweep, causing him to cough up blood and fly backward, crashing into a pile of rubble.

But their sacrifice bought precious time!

Roland's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open! A silver light flashed in his eyes like a galaxy exploding!

"Earth's veins collapsing due to resonance!!!"

With Luo Lin's full mental guidance and the detonation of the power of [Quiet Dust Star], a hundred-kilometer radius around him...

Within meters, the already fragile rock structure instantly reached the point of collapse!

The earth groaned under the strain, trembling violently!

Countless bottomless cracks spread, expanded, and connected at an alarming speed!

Rumble! ...

As if the sky had collapsed and the earth had caved in, the ground of the entire rocky area suddenly collapsed downwards!

It wasn't a localized collapse, but a large-scale, overall collapse!

The execution-type, the hunting-type, and the three annihilation-type vehicles that had just climbed halfway out of the deep pit all lost their footing and, along with countless boulders and soil, plummeted into the newly formed, even deeper and more terrifying giant sinkhole!

For a moment, the dark golden figure tumbled and struggled amidst the billowing dust and falling boulders, trying to grab onto something with its energy wings or arms, but in the face of such power of heaven and earth, the individual's strength seemed so insignificant!

Roland is also on the verge of collapse!

But he was prepared. At the last moment, he used the Starflow Water Field to spray upwards with all his might, while using his mental power to control several falling boulders as stepping stones. Like a fish swimming upstream in a waterfall, he narrowly escaped the core of the collapse and rolled onto a relatively safe protruding rock shelf.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, obscuring the view.

The deafening roar lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually subsiding.

Luo Lin lay on the rock ledge, panting heavily, his body feeling as if it had fallen apart, his star power and mental energy nearly exhausted.

That last blow almost drained him dry.

He struggled to lift his head and look at the newly formed, enormous sinkhole, which was over two hundred meters in diameter.

As the smoke and dust slowly settled, one could vaguely see the bottom of the pit filled with boulders, as well as some figures that were buried or stuck in the cracks between the rocks, still struggling and flashing with a dark golden light.

Success! — At least temporarily, most of the enemy has been trapped, including the three most troublesome annihilation-type tanks.

But the cost was heavy.

Captain Quinn, Rake, and Evan — their fates are unknown.

Moreover, there are bound to be some who slipped through the net.

Sure enough, from the smoke and dust, two slightly disheveled but still radiating a chilling killing intent, dark golden figures slowly climbed up from the edge of the pit.

One execution-type unit, its left energy wing broken off;

A hunter-type aircraft, its leg armor severely deformed.

Their data streams locked onto Rolin on the rock shelf once again, and without any hesitation, they dragged their damaged bodies and launched another attack!

Luo Lin gave a wry smile.

This is truly a fight to the death.

He reached into his robes with trembling hands and grasped the small metal box containing high-purity [Star Essence].

Now, this may be the last chance.

There was no starlight, no safe environment, and not even any guardians.

Only a desperate situation, and two approaching death gods.

He opened the box, tilted his head back, and swallowed the drop of essence inside, which resembled liquid starlight and emitted violent energy fluctuations, in one gulp!

come on.

Either break through in dire straits, or—perish.

There is no third way.
