On the Seven Towers

Lockman was wrapped in a ball of light, falling rapidly in the tunnel. The ball of light was slightly smaller than the tunnel, and it was unknown what the outside was made of. It seemed very slippery and very tough, and could easily pass through the corners of the tunnel without being punctured. So even though he was falling rapidly, his body did not suffer any damage, and he could not even feel too much bumps. It was just that the ball of light illuminated the environment around the Death Trail, making him feel very dizzy and having an uncontrollable nausea. He could see the two balls of light in front and behind him, bouncing violently like the balls he used to play with when he was a child, but the two mages inside were sitting cross-legged, as if they were taking a nap. He still admired such a calm human mage.

Lockman suddenly found that even if he opened his eyes wide and looked around, he could only increase his worries, because now he was trapped in the ball and could not do anything. So he simply closed his eyes. He did not look or think, and handed his fate to this ball of light like the two mages.

The four balls of light fell rapidly on the Death Trail like glass marbles. Xiao Chen, who was walking in the front, did not leave his fate to the light ball as Rockman thought. On the contrary, he closed his eyes and used his mental power to explore the area two or three hundred meters ahead and behind. And he used magic to control the speed of the light ball.

Otherwise, after sliding down for more than ten kilometers, who knows how much the light ball would be accelerated.

These four light balls were shield magic improved by Xiao Chen on the spot. A buffer layer was lined inside the conventional physical shield, and a layer of gelatinous magic was added on the outside. The shield was transformed into a small capsule to transport four people forward.

They were moving forward on the shortcut at lightning speed, and they were many times faster than Ansaldo's convoy.

Later, Xiao Chen applied a conical light shield in front of the four light balls. The obstacles on the road ahead would be smashed by this light shield first, and their speed was a few points faster than before.

After sliding for about twenty minutes, Xiao Chen felt that the tunnel suddenly turned flat three or four hundred meters ahead. He reduced the speed of the light ball and finally slowly stopped at a cave entrance.

Xiao Chen snapped his fingers, and the four light balls burst. All four of them fell to the ground.

Xiao Chen, Luo Ling, and Evelyn didn't feel much, only Rockman leaned against the wall and fainted for a long time before he recovered.

"It seems that we are about to get out. I explored it and it should be the main road. It seems that we have completed the Death Trail, right?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Finished it?" Rockman opened his eyes wide, looked around, and walked to the entrance of the cave to look out. "I actually finished it. This is the main road, less than a thousand meters away from the capital. Your method is incredible. I never thought that a mage could walk through the Death Trail like this."

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "It's best not to try this method before reaching a high level. Otherwise, you may not be able to deal with danger in time."

"How is it? Do you think we are ahead of them?" Luo Ling asked.

Rockman said: "In my opinion, we should be ahead. This is the road they must take. As long as we wait here, we should be able to wait for them."

Xiao Chen said: "It's not enough to just wait for them. We have to create an opportunity to separate those people, and then catch one of them and ask him."

He discussed with Luo Ling and Evelyn and decided to set a trap nearby.

He used his mental power to explore the stone walls of several hundred meters around him, found a place where cracks appeared on the top of the tunnel, and used magic power to further cut these cracks to make them easier to break. Then he embedded several crystal bombs in it, and then used a soundproof barrier to wrap the bombs ten meters away.

Afterwards, he hid in front of the explosion point with Luo Ling and Evelyn. Rockman was told to just wait quietly on the side road.

Xiao Chen waited for about half an hour, during which time three groups of people passed by. When the fourth group of people appeared, Rockman said, "That's them. These people are wearing the standard armor of the Black Rock Family."

Xiao Chen looked and saw that there were indeed a few humans in the team. They were wearing black robes and sitting in two carriages, mixed in with the walking dwarf team, standing out from the crowd.

Xiao Chen and the other four watched the team pass by them in stealth mode. When they approached the explosion point, Xiao Chen used his mental power to detonate the crystal bomb on the top of the tunnel. The soundproof barrier blocked the sound of the first explosion, but the top of the tunnel still exploded on a large scale.

The landslide caused by the explosion did not hit a few dwarves, but happened to hit between the two carriages, which not only caused panic among the dwarf team, but also damaged the roof of one of the carriages.

At this moment, Luo Ling detonated a long-prepared Heart of Fear magic in the crowd. This magic was released using the original casting method, although it was a range magic. However, Luo Ling used superb skills to target each dwarf individually. Others could hardly feel the magic fluctuations, but the effect was even more difficult to resist. The dwarves affected by the magic were already panicking, and now they were hysterical. They were obviously not injured, but they ran around and shouted loudly. The already chaotic scene was out of control.

An officer of the Black Rock Family jumped off the carriage, and the humans followed them off the carriage.

"Don't panic, it's just a landslide!" The dwarf officer shouted angrily when he saw his useless warriors.

"Is this an attack?" asked the man who looked like the leader among the humans.

"No, it's just a landslide. This road is old, and such things often happen. But this time it was a bit large, and it scared these idiots." The dwarf officer replied.

At this moment, Xiao Chen detonated the second part of the buried crystal bomb.

This explosion was not as powerful as the first one, but more broken stones fell from above and hit the people who were talking outside the carriage.

The dwarf officer flexibly dodged two stones and said to the humans: "Everyone, get out of the way and retreat to the back. The things that should fall here have not fallen clean yet."

The broken stones flew in front of them, and the ground was uneven. Several humans could only flee in different directions. Judging from their movements, some should be mages and some should be warriors.

Evelyn, who had been waiting for a long time, saw a black-robed man leaping towards him and slashed him on the back of his neck with a hand knife.

The man was unprepared to be invaded by Evelyn's fighting spirit in the neck, and fell down silently. Evelyn wrapped the man with a cloak with invisible magic. He was dragged to a blind spot that had been prepared long ago.
