If someone were to stand at the highest point of the Alchemist Association, they would discover that the sky above one of the peaks was covered with dark clouds, while the other peaks were clear and sunny. This was a stark contrast.
Unfortunately, because of Lin Bai’s matter, as well as the city Lord, Yan Hua, and the others, everyone had heavy tasks on their hands and could not spare time at all. Therefore, naturally, no one noticed that this group of disciples was in deep trouble.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, like a surging torrent. They couldn’t even make out north, south, east and west let alone finding the direction to leave. It was already good enough that they could protect themselves from being washed away by the current.
Everyone hurriedly climbed higher, and the ground under their feet was gradually submerged. They observed that the direction of the current was extremely unusual. If they were really washed down, they didn’t know where they would go. Therefore, they used their spiritual power and grabbed onto
something that could be attached to them.
“Ah! The skyheart grass has been washed down.”
Because of a moment of carelessness, a herb basket was accidentally washed away by the rapid current. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace, and there were several skyheart grass in it.
A companion saw this and hurriedly reached out to grab it. He almost fell into the current. If it were not for the people around him who quickly pulled him out, he might have also disappeared.
“You don’t want to live anymore! If the skyheart grass is gone, we can still go pick it. If you are gone, where can we find you?”
That person was still fearful. Fortunately, there was a fellow disciple whose spiritual artifact was shaped like a boat and was usually used for traveling. He did not expect it to come in handy this time. The few of them sat inside reluctantly and looked at the rapid river.
They originally wanted to take a boat to leave, but the current was too fast and they could not circulate their spiritual power at all. In addition, there was an inexplicable energy fluctuation in it. Not to mention taking a boat, they would be affected easily even when flying on a sword. They fell into the
flood.
An absurd thought rose in everyone’s hearts. It was clearly a mountain, but it was as if they were in an endless sea at this moment.
The few of them sat on the boat and circulated their spirit energy one after another, supporting the boat so that it wouldn’t be washed away by the water. It was extremely difficult to move forward, and they had tried it before. They almost capsized the boat, and some of them even fell into the water and
choked on a few mouthfuls of water. However, it was fortunate that they were rescued.
This path was not feasible at all, so the few of them could only give up. The originally beautiful mountain peak had become an isolated island that trapped them.
“What should we do now? We can’t just sit here and wait for death, right? If this continues, the water will rise sooner or later and drown us.”
Seeing that the water level was rising bit by bit, it would not be long before these spiritual artifacts would not be able to support them. Everyone was worried.
“This shouldn’t be. Logically speaking, why isn’t there any reaction from the surrounding peaks when there’s such a huge commotion? It’s as if they didn’t notice anything.”
Everyone also noticed this strange point. “That’s right. Someone should be coming to save us now. Why isn’t there a single person?”
“Quickly contact the elders. See if you can contact them.”
Everyone took out their voice transmission talismans and realized that the message couldn’t be sent out at all. All the methods used to transmit the message had failed. Everyone’s faces were ashen and they revealed expressions of despair.
“If this is the case, won’t we drown here without anyone knowing?”
“Could it be that we’ve encountered a ghost formation? Why can’t the message be sent out?”
Some people didn’t believe in this. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t contact the people in the outside world. It was as if there was an unknown force that isolated them. This place had become a small dimension.
The people in the outside world didn’t know what was going on, and they couldn’t bring the news out.
Someone revealed a desperate smile and said dejectedly, “Looks like we can only wait for those senior brothers to come and help us collect our corpses.”
A deathly silence pervaded the crowd. Just as everyone had given up hope and were prepared to welcome death, someone noticed that the water level was slowly receding.
“Look! isn’t the water receding a little?”
Everyone quickly stretched their necks and craned their necks to look. “As expected, the water seems to have receded. Don’t tell me we don’t have to drown!”
The receding water was inexplicable, just like when it came. They did not know where it came from, nor did they see where it went. It was as if it had all been absorbed by the ground.
‘When the receding water was almost gone, everyone was so happy that they wept and cheered. “That’s great! Heaven will never give us certain death. It seems that god can’t bear for us to die here.”
They had walked through the gates of hell a few times and were almost invited by the king of hell to drink tea. They did not dare to stay too long and did not care about the skyheart grass. Their priority now was to save their own lives.
“I don’t dare to stay any longer in this damned place. Who knows what will happen next?”
Although the leader of the group was eager to complete the mission, his life was still the most important. He did not dare to say anything else and everyone hurriedly left.
At the same time, the temperature became even lower. White smoke came out of their mouths. The few of them gathered their clothes and immediately had a bad premonition. They hurriedly circulated their spiritual energy or used flying magic treasures. They scrambled to leave this place.
‘They were afraid that if they were even half a step late, they would be left behind.
No one turned their heads, so they did not notice that the faint blue crystal was rapidly spreading toward the mountain peak. It was as if there was a mysterious and powerful force that occupied this mountain peak. If they were even a step late, they would probably be covered by it.
The leader immediately reported the abnormality and energy found in the mountain peak to the elder in charge.
Elder gG turned pale with fright when he heard that. “What! There’s actually such a thing!”
“I’s absolutely true. We definitely won’t take this matter as a joke..”
