Chapter 1123: Chapter 1125 Suppression_1 Chapter 1123: Chapter 1125 Suppression_1 Song Jian sent a thousand tree elves into the shattered Divine Realm, whereupon a dense woody aroma immediately permeated through the realm, carrying hints of fresh grass and wood fragrance in the air. One could even faintly hear cheerful songs and laughter.
His mind lingered in the Divine Realm only briefly before Song Jian withdrew and refocused his attention on the small town shrouded in black fog before him.
Having obtained no useful information from the strange old lady's soul, Song Jian could only continue to explore deeper into the town.
He was now certain that this town wasn't transformed from an Abyssal Fortress, but that some mysterious and unknown force was entwining itself here. However, there must be an Abyss Fortress here; otherwise, there was no explaining the plethora of Abyssal creatures.
“Find the Abyssal Fortress, destroy it, then leave here as quickly as possible…” Song Jian stood by the fountain, constantly feeling like countless eyes were openly staring at him, unabashedly fixing their gaze upon him. This set alarm bells ringing nonstop in Song Jian's mind.
Song Jian hesitated for a long time in the square before deciding to delve further into the town. As he continued forward, his figure entered the rolling black fog and was no longer visible.
Not long after Song Jian had left, cracks began forming on the ground of the square. In the blink of an eye, it looked as though it had weathered thousands of years; the solid stone slabs had eroded beyond recognition, revealing the dark brown soil underneath. The clear water in the fountain turned to a murky blood-like substance in an instant, emitting a strong stench of blood.
On the other hand, the Song Ya trio, following their original path to leave the town, had been walking for over half an hour but still couldn't find a way out, plunging them into a sudden panic.
“Based on our speed, we should have left this town ten minutes ago…” Song Ya's complexion turned ugly. In the game, she wasn't afraid of facing a powerful boss; what she truly feared was when strange things happened. If you encountered a boss, you might escape, but these bizarre occurrences would spell death for nine and a half out of ten players.
“Have we encountered a ghost hitting the wall (Ming Jie Zi Fu vaelpnnd AEtaev)?” Yu Rui said nervously, his magic staff releasing bursts of lightning to illuminate the surrounding path.
Yu Rui also kept taking out palm-sized mechanical beetles from his inventory and scattering them around. It seemed that Yu Rui wasn't just an Arcanist; he was also a mechanic with the ability to create and control mechanical creatures.
Guo Zhiqiang tightly held his shield and longsword, protecting the two in front. He was the strongest shield in the team, and as long as he stood, nobody on the team would die.
Above his head floated a pale green light elf, which, every few seconds, released a beam of light that fell upon his head. It not only restored his lost Vitality Points but also immediately applied various buffs. At that moment, Guo Zhiqiang's status bar was filled with over a dozen buffs.
Originally, Song Jian thought the absence of a healing class was the biggest weakness of this three-person team, but now it appeared they had already compensated for that weakness. They simply hadn't revealed it in front of Song Jian previously.
But now, ever since they had realized they were in such an eerie state, they had revealed all their trump cards. Otherwise, in this environment, it was all too easy to die without getting a chance to play those cards, which would be an unbearably vexing way to die.
The three of them explored cautiously, always keeping their attention on their surroundings, fearing any danger, but they failed to notice the eerie black shadows emerging on the ground, resembling the tentacles of some creature. These shadowy tentacles had already wrapped around Song Ya and her companions' ankles, yet the trio was utterly unaware. As time passed, the shadows began to creep up their legs, and unbeknownst to them, Song Ya and her companions' calves had turned completely black…
Song Jian continued to advance, the black fog growing denser around him. Where he could once see four to five meters ahead, his scouting range had now shrunk to about one meter, and his perception was suppressed as well. In this moment, Song Jian was like someone blind despite his open eyes.
Song Jian's mind had tensed to its limit, ready to take refuge in the Shattered Divine Realm at the first hint of anything amiss. In such a strange environment, preserving one's own life was the utmost priority.
But as he moved forward, no monsters appeared to attack Song Jian, yet the undisguised scrutiny set his nerves increasingly on edge.
Just then, Song Jian suddenly spotted a towering structure ahead. Amidst the swirling black fog, he could only discern the rough outline of the building, but even that was enough to surprise him.
This structure was at least thirty meters tall, clashing with the architectural style of the surrounding town. Most buildings in the town consisted of thatched huts, with the tallest being stone three-story buildings that did not exceed ten meters. This building stood out conspicuously amongst the others in the town, giving it an exceptional presence.
As he continued forward, the structure's silhouette grew clearer, and Song Jian was astonished to realize that it was indeed an Abyss Fortress. The original black pyramid had now transformed into a castle constructed of huge black stones, with sharp spikes jutting out everywhere, giving it a rugged look akin to a ferocious beast crouching on the ground, ready to strike at any moment.
It was hard to believe that the stone fortress before him had evolved from the high-tech-styled black pyramid of before.
What surprised Song Jian was the sight of bizarre black tendrils on the surface of the Abyss Fortress, binding it tightly like ropes, with massive black bulges pulsating like the hearts of giants.
From within the Abyss Fortress, strong Abyssal essences were continuously drawn out, merging into these bulges, and numerous tentacle-like shadows from the ground were eroding the fortress, having already spread to one-third of its structure.
“What, what is going on here…” Song Jian's face wore an expression of astonishment as he gazed at the colossal structure before him.
The once frightening Abyss Fortress appeared to be suppressed, and judging by its appearance, it seemed to be slowly integrating with the entire town.
“If even the beachhead of the Abyssal Hell invasion can be subdued, what kind of power is hidden within this town?” Song Jian suddenly felt his skin tighten all over, a great sense of dread enveloping him completely.
