Lord Of The People: I Recruited A Mutant Succubus From The Start Chapter 259 - Cracked!

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Cracked!

The situation around them was too chaotic. Those soldiers who were conscious were also affected by the surrounding spiritual power, and their actions became a little hesitant.

Under such circ.u.mstances, a black flood dragon charged out, causing the soldiers who were conscious to not be able to react in time.

Moreover, after this black flood dragon erupted, its speed suddenly increased, and it charged forward at the fastest speed possible.

It was as if it was launching the fastest attack possible when facing an enemy.

The black flood dragon charged straight into the crimson lava at the side, and then directly sank into it!

Ao Xing roared furiously when he saw this, and his expression was filled with grief and indignation.

It would have been fine if his clansmen had died in battle, but now, they were being manipulated by such a baffling situation to send themselves to their deaths. Ao Xing found it difficult to accept this.

Ren Qi and the others were also startled. Under the impact of the black flood dragon charging into the lava, their dazed expressions instantly became a little clearer.

Everyone’s gazes landed on the lava, and there were still some doubts in their hearts.

Was this lava really real?

At this moment, a dragon’s roar sounded from under the lava. Following which, the black flood dragon that had charged in directly charged out from under the lava.

At this moment, the black flood dragon’s body was covered in flames, as if it had turned into a fire dragon.

Its body had also been completely burned. Large chunks of its skin and flesh had separated, and it looked extremely terrifying.

At this moment, the black flood dragon seemed to have completely woken up. It desperately wanted to fly over to Ao Xing’s side.

However, its body had already been burned beyond recognition by the lava. After flying for over ten meters, it directly fell powerlessly into the lava below, quickly dissolving into the lava.

Ren Qi and the others’ expressions instantly became grave.

The surrounding lava was completely real. If one fell into it, it would basically be impossible to survive.

Very quickly, Ren Qi and the others strengthened their actions against the soldiers who had fallen into a daze.

A large number of soldiers who had fallen into a daze were knocked unconscious, and the frost witch spirit’s freezing process was also rapidly expanding.

Among the soldiers who had fallen into a daze, the black flood dragons and the dark dragons were the most violent.

If they were to fly into the sky, it was very likely that they would directly charge towards the lava.

Therefore, the remaining conscious black flood dragons and dark dragons came to their side. As long as they wanted to charge out, they would be directly struck down.

As time pa.s.sed, these soldiers who had been dazed became even more violent. They began to attack the conscious soldiers who were blocking them, as if they wanted to leave this place urgently.

Under such circ.u.mstances, Bel Hermione also asked her silver dragons to come and help.

Ten minutes later, Ren Qi and the others pa.s.sed through this lava zone. Because there were more conscious soldiers, they only lost one black flood dragon.

It was still the same strange illusion. The moment Ren Qi stepped forward, the surrounding environment changed drastically.

The red lava disappeared, and the black fog in front suddenly became thicker. Ren Qi could not even see the position of Long Yi clearly.

The surroundings were also pitch-black, and he could not see anything clearly.

This pitch-black was different from the previous one.

The previous darkness was caused by black fog, but Ren Qi could still see the ground clearly. He could vaguely see the sand on the ground.

But now, it was as if the surroundings had completely sunk into darkness. Even the ground beneath their feet was pitch-black. Other than that, nothing else could be seen.

This feeling was as if they were walking in a black void.

The empty feeling made all the new lords and soldiers feel a little frightened.

This feeling that they could step into the air at any moment made some of the soldiers even hesitate to move forward.

At this moment, Long Yi’s voice came from the front.

“Don’t hesitate here. The soldiers at the back follow me closely. Then, you follow the soldiers right in front of you. Walk slowly. You must keep up. Don’t get lost in this area.”

“If you get lost here, even I won’t be able to save you.”

Long Yi’s voice calmed Ren Qi and the others down a little. The speed of the team began to slow down. Everyone stared at the figure in front of them and followed closely, afraid that they would fall behind.

At this moment, Ren Qi realized that their feet did not make any sound when they stepped on the pitch-black ground. Moreover, they felt as if they were walking on a black cloud.

However, it seemed that there was no other danger in the surroundings other than this kind of darkness.

If that was the case, it was still acceptable.

After moving forward for another ten minutes, the dense black fog around them seemed to have become less dense. Ren Qi could even vaguely see Long Yi’s figure.

This made Ren Qi and the others’ expressions suddenly tremble, and a hint of surprise appeared in their eyes.

It seemed that they were about to pa.s.s through this region?

At this moment, a mournful voice suddenly sounded from the right.

The mournful voice traveled from near to far and quickly spread downward. It was as though the owner of the voice was rapidly descending.

Very quickly, the mournful voice disappeared and came to an abrupt stop.

The surroundings once again descended into silence. However, that voice seemed to reverberate within everyone’s hearts, causing one to feel a chill run down their spines.

“What fell?” Xuan Ming frowned and asked.

“How is this possible? Aren’t we walking on the ground? We are not above the clouds. How is it possible for us to fall?” Li Tianlan’s expression was grave as she replied.

Zhao Yuheng looked at the few of them. “This place is very strange. Don’t forget about the lava just now. We still have to be careful.”

At this moment, Long Yi’s voice came from the front again.

“Don’t be affected by the surrounding sounds. Continue moving forward. Don’t fall behind!”

Ren Qi and the few of them looked at each other and nodded. Then, the troop continued to move forward.

“Ah!”

Soon, another weightless scream sounded, making Ren Qi and the others tense up.

It was a human voice.

Ren Qi and the others looked at each other and found that the new lords were all there. Moreover, the humanoid troops were in the center of the circle.

Although some humanoid troops couldn’t be seen clearly in the formation because they were covered by the black fog, they shouldn’t move to the periphery even if they were lost, right?

Soon after, a series of miserable cries rang out, causing Ren Qi and the others’ expressions to become a little solemn.

The group continued to advance, but the miserable cries seemed to have opened the floodgates. They continued to rise, as if a large number of units had fallen from the sky.

These cries continued to ring out, causing the surrounding units to become a little restless.

However, due to the suppression of the new lords, there wasn’t much of a problem.

The team continued to advance. After around ten minutes, the dense black fog around them seemed to have mostly disappeared, and the view in front of them became clear once again.

Long Yi’s enormous figure once again appeared in Ren Qi’s line of sight, causing him to sigh in relief.

The changes in the surrounding environment made Ren Qi understand that they had already pa.s.sed through the area just now.

Very quickly, all the teams pa.s.sed through the area that was covered in dense black fog just now, and entered the area with the same concentration of the black fog as the beginning.

The surrounding environment also changed back, and the ground beneath their feet returned to normal. Stepping on it would produce the sound of feet landing on the ground, and it did not have the same feeling of emptiness as before.

At this moment, Ren Qi and the others began to check their respective troops, wanting to see if any of them had fallen.

After checking, they found that five soldiers were missing.

When they asked the other troops around them, they all said that they had not discovered when they had disappeared.

Ren Qi and the others looked at each other, and a hint of shock appeared in their eyes.

It seemed that this place was indeed very strange. Those soldiers had actually disappeared for no reason.

From the current situation, the area they had just been in should be like a cliff. If they were to deviate from their position, they would fall down.

At the moment, it was still unclear what kind of situation they were in. Ren Qi and the others could only follow behind Long Yi and continue to explore the area in front of them.

“Senior Long Yi, have we pa.s.sed the trap area?” Ren Qi asked Long Yi.

Long Yi turned his head and said to Ren Qi softly, “Not yet. There are still two small areas. You should be careful.”

Hearing Long Yi’s words, Ren Qi and the others frowned slightly.

For them, they had come here for the forbidden land, but up until now, they had not entered the forbidden land. They had not even touched the edge of the forbidden land.

This was obviously something that Ren Qi and the others could not accept.

After all, they had already lost several soldiers so far.

If they were to say that they had encountered enemies and suffered losses, it wouldn’t be that hard to accept.

However, they hadn’t encountered any enemies yet, and even lost so many troops. It was still hard to accept for Ren Qi and the others.

Tian Jizi asked, “What should we do now? Should we continue to follow them?”

Zhao Yuheng said, “We can only follow them now. Even if we want to go back, we don’t know how. We can only continue to follow them and take a look. After all, we came here for the forbidden land.”

Ren Qi also nodded and said, “That’s right. The purpose of our visit this time is the forbidden land. Before we reach the forbidden land, we shouldn’t be discouraged too early.”

Xuan Ming said, “Sigh, now we can only hope that there are really good things in the forbidden land. Otherwise, it would be a waste of our efforts if there’s nothing there.”

The others also nodded slightly. Now that they had no other choice, they could only continue forward.

Ren Qi’s eyes also flickered slightly. He had just asked Long Yi if they had already pa.s.sed the trap area, but the other party had said no.

There were still two small areas.

That is, the situation of the areas was similar to the previous lava area and the area where the troops fell…

“We have to be careful next. There are still two more areas that are as dangerous as before,” Ren Qi said as he looked at Zhao Yuheng and the others.

Zhao Yuheng and the others nodded, and their expressions became a little solemn.

Soon, the group continued to move forward. The black fog in front of them became increasingly thinner, as if the surrounding black fog was slowly disappearing.

After pa.s.sing through the first few regions, Ren Qi and the others’ expressions had already become tense. Even though there was no movement around them, their hearts were still extremely nervous.

“We are about to enter the next region.” Long Yi’s voice came from the front, causing the expressions of the people around them to become even more tense.

Soon, Ren Qi and the others entered the next region.

The density of the black fog here was much lighter than before, as if some of the black fog had been filtered out.

The reason why Ren Qi and the others were certain that they had entered the next region was because the surrounding environment had once again undergone a great change.

A huge stone bridge appeared in front of them. It was very wide. Even if all of their troops were to go up, there would still be a large amount of empty s.p.a.ce around them.

“Everyone, be careful!” Ren Qi looked at the few of them and said.

After what had happened just now, the expressions of the surrounding people tensed up. They gathered their troops together and slowly arrived at the stone bridge in front of them.

Ren Qi suddenly realized that after entering the stone bridge area, the mental energy that affected their minds seemed to have disappeared. They could no longer sense it.

Just as Ren Qi was feeling a little puzzled, Long Yi ahead slowly stopped in his tracks.

Soon after, Ren Qi saw that Long Yi had summoned all the dark divine dragons that surrounded them to its side.

“This is the stone fall area. The stone fall area doesn’t have the effect of insanity, but it’s more a test of luck.”

“Huge rocks will occasionally fall from above the stone bridge ahead. If you’re not careful, you’ll be directly crushed to death by the rocks. It’s still very dangerous. All of you have to be careful.”

“In addition, I’m not sure when the rocks will fall. All of you have to be ready to deal with the falling rocks at any time.”

The sound of Long Yi’s voice caused Ren Qi and the others to be startled.

Before Ren Qi and the others could imagine what kind of huge stone would land, Long Yi, who was in front of them, brought the surrounding dark divine dragons and roared furiously.

A wild wind gushed out from the mouths of Long Yi and the others. It immediately scattered the relatively faint black fog in front of them.

Subsequently, the scene on the stone bridge in front of them was reflected in Ren Qi and the others’ eyes.

It was a long stone bridge with no end in sight.

On both sides of the stone bridge were cliffs that were hundreds of thousands of feet tall. They were very dark, as if one would be completely devoured if they fell into them.

Subsequently, everyone saw the stone that Long Yi had mentioned that would fall!

Not far in front, a huge stone that was almost the same width as the stone bridge suddenly fell from the black fog above and directly smashed onto the stone bridge.

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, the stone bridge directly cracked where the stone fell!
