Chapter 141. The Prelude to an Explosion
The players were highly efficient. With a target to guide them, they were more efficient than a moving company.
Some of the Elves were unwilling to leave the city, so the players simply picked up their pet dogs and ran away. He had no choice but to follow closely behind.
Some Elves stayed in bed during the day and did not want to move. The players broke in and carried the bed out.
Some of the Elves looked back at the purple-black barrier of the City Lord\'s mansion and were in a poetic mood. They stood on the street in cadence, and a few Cursemancers took turns throwing [Incantations] at them so that they could not recite a complete poem, forcing them to leave.
All of this was because the number of people saved was linked to the final reward.
As the church issued an announcement to the entire city, this event automatically became a large-scale mission. Players who received the mission could see the number of people saved by the \'volunteers\' as well as the \'expected rewards\'.
For every person saved, 1000 experience points would be invested into the experience pool. The accumulated experience points would be multiplied by a coefficient based on the number of people saved and then distributed to the players participating in the mission according to their authority.
No one would refuse to accept the reward.
Five minutes later, most of the people had already set foot on the steps to leave their homes. The black mass of people was like ants moving house, slowly moving out of the city.
The residents around the City Lord\'s mansion had all been moved away, and the building was empty. More than a dozen figures slowly appeared.
They were the flame knot\'s suicide squad.
Most of the people who could live in the inner city were either rich or noble. More than a dozen people drank all the potions in their backpacks, and their perception, agility, and weight bearing ability were all fully increased in one breath. Their eyes were shining as they rushed into the residential area to plunder.
Only a minute or two later, a deafening sound was heard from the City Lord\'s mansion!
Boom!
It was as if someone had detonated something heaven-defying. The City Lord\'s mansion erupted like a volcano, and magic energy gushed out!
This was only the beginning. The earth trembled, and the originally flat street split open. Countless streaks of pitch-black mana broke out of the ground and rose into the sky like a hurricane!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The sounds came one after another, like a musical fountain. With the castellan\'s mansion as the center, the magic pillars spread out one by one. In the blink of an eye, a dark magic cloud was interwoven above Golden Butterfly City.
In an instant, the weather changed!
As if it was the end of the world, the people who had been complaining about leaving just now all quickened their pace, and an unspeakable despair filled everyone\'s heart.
The elderly high priest stood at the back of the line.
In front of him were rising mana pillars, surrounded by black gas. The negative emotions seemed to be tangible, and under the irrigation of mana, they formed arms that struggled in pain.
He raised his staff with difficulty, and his red and white priest robe fluttered.
"Seven Holy Spirits above, we have always been blessed!"
A bright and beautiful divine light was emitted from his body, spreading out in circles.
Everyone who was affected by the divine light was invigorated, and the haze in their hearts was dispelled.
The godly light moved forward and hit the magic pillar hard, as if acid had been splashed on meat. Instantly, there was a sizzling sound, and wails that hit the soul rang out.
It would have been fine if he had not provoked them, but the moment he moved, the magic pillar was like a shark that had smelled blood. It plowed through the ground and slowly chased after him!
It was like a hurricane that had left its group, sending sand and stones flying everywhere it passed. Nothing could stop it!
The Priest was shocked by this scene. He clenched his staff with his withered hands and hit the ground hard, as if he wanted to stop the powerful magic pillar with his own body!
The small stone scratched his cheek, and just as the hand that reached out from the pillar was about to touch his body, a figure suddenly flashed out from the side and knocked him to the side!
"No..."
The Priest watched as the man was swallowed by the magic pillar. As if he had fallen into an ice cave, he rushed forward without hesitation.
"Let\'s go, are you stupid?"
The voice came from the magic pillar, and the priest could vaguely see a figure bound inside. The figure stuck its head out with difficulty and roared at the priest, "Hurry up and go, you old thing that\'s like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
The Priest\'s pupils shrank!
Char?
No one could answer his question, because the magic pillar seemed to be satisfied with its prey and turned to leave, leaving the old priest with a complicated look in his eyes. He was stunned for a few seconds before he turned and chased after the main group.
"Put me on the chimney over there."
"Yes, master."
The magic pillar obediently leaned over, and then threw Char into a chimney.
Perfect.
Char came out of the family\'s closet and ran straight to the City Lord\'s castle.
The magic pillar itself was not harmful. The sand and stones would only cause some superficial wounds, which were not worth mentioning.
The old priest was not to be blamed for his lack of common sense, but the mana disaster of this era had just begun, and they had not accumulated much experience in fighting monsters.
The mana explosion was divided into three stages. The mana in the center erupted like a volcano, and the surrounding surface was like a leaking roof. Mana seeped out from the edges.
Then, it was the hatching of the Monsters.
The newborn monsters were weak and stupid. They could only be immersed in high-concentration mana and could not fight in an away field. Therefore, their territory was spread out bit by bit, and the mana pillars were the points. When the points were connected into a line, the polygonal area contained within would instantly become a honeycomb-like incubator.
Finally, it was the third step, which was to create a nest.
A nest meant the birth of a leader, which was a true demonization. Compared to that, the previous demons were like little brothers.
Char was taking this opportunity to save Saxson. This Duke had the authority to enter and leave the Royal Court, so there was no harm in gaining his favorability.
Char was quickly passing by two rooms when he suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye.
No, it was a person, not a thing.
No, he did not mean to curse.
Anyway, he actually saw Nelwin!
\'F*ck, is this woman crazy? She\'s in the suicide squad?\'
Nelwin\'s luck was really bad. She actually met a monster that perfectly countered his archery and magic dual-training identity at this critical time. It was a Magical Mantis.
This was a monster that was extremely difficult to lock on to. It moved by jumping and had an extremely fast initial speed. It was difficult for arrows or spells to hit it. Once it got close, it would be a flash of blade light.
It was a nightmare for a weak-willed person like Nelwin!
Not to mention, this was a bug that was as tall as a human.
However, Char noticed that Nelwin\'s breathing was rapid, and there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, he was excited.
"Count your sins!"
Seeing that there was no one around, Nelwin shouted, and then actually charged straight at that Monster.
Huh?
