Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 240: Time Corridor

Views:

After the initial joy of escaping catastrophe passed, the four of them sat quietly on one side, consciously driving the source force to circulate in the blood vessels in the body, gradually recharging the consumed power. Alan received the life essence that the devil praised from time to time, and he recovered the fastest. When he opened his eyes, 70% of his source power had recovered, and even most of his injuries were healed. I just feel that when I meet Kamu again, I will have the strength to fight again.

Kamu is by no means an idle sword demon general. In order to force him back, Allen almost squeezed out all his source power. Using Flame Flash four times in a short period of time has reached the limit of his physical energy. But there are rewards, and even Kamu is unwilling to face his cutting wave with both speed and high temperature. It can be seen that the flame flash still poses a certain threat to the general-level sword demon.

But its shortcomings are also obvious.

That is, the change is not enough, and it is too fast, but because the trajectory of the attack has not changed, it is easy to be seen through in advance. In order to dodge and parry, it can be used to deal with mediocre players below level 20, but it is easy to be broken by Kamu's strong combat experience.

Allen looked at Qianjun and thought that if he could use this heavy knife to a higher level and break through the shortcoming of heavy weapons in speed, then he would be able to use the previous combat skills of turning thousands of fires with one knife." Broken Moon". If the skill of Broken Moon is combined with Yanxi Flash, it can make up for the shortcomings of Yanxi Flash's lack of changes, and it can be improved to a higher level, transforming into a more threatening combat technique.

But it is not easy to use Qianjun to that extent. Among them, the level of source power alone is a shortcoming that Allen cannot avoid. No matter how high the skills are, without the backing of strong source power, nothing can be discussed.

This is not something that can be achieved overnight, Allen had to temporarily suppress this thought, and instead focus on his eyes.

How to get out of trouble is the most important problem they are facing now.

Don't look at the door is closed, and the armor plate used in the automatic door of the power room is thickened. But if the sword demon intends to come in, it's just a matter of time. Now the four of them are in a suspended corridor, connected to the second automatic door of the power room, which is the real door leading to the power room. This corridor has a length of about 30 meters and is suspended on both sides. Looking down from the corridor, you can see that the lower part of the power room is connected by a metal cylinder, and strong currents are constantly lasing from that cylinder, turning and ejecting in the space below.

This space, including the corridor, is also filled with seven-color brilliance. The balls of colored light did not know where they came from, and they floated all over the corridor like this.

Suddenly there was the sound of the door opening behind him.

Allen was really startled, and when he mentioned Qianjun, he bounced off the ground. Looking back suddenly, Allen froze.

A double image appeared on the door, but in fact it never opened. However, a phantom of the gate showed the image of the armor plate sliding in on both sides. It's as if someone is using a projector to show a certain video, but in fact, there is no projector in the corridor.

Yet the sound is real.

Not only Alan heard it, but even Lucy and the other three woke up, and opened their eyes one after another.

"What's going on here?" Willick looked at the double image on the door in surprise.

No one could answer his question.

In that projection, the door finally opened halfway.

It can be seen that there is a battle outside the door, and it is a fierce battle. The shock waves and shouts of the explosion pierced into the ears of Alan and the others, and they even felt that the air around them became a little hot. Then some figures came in from the door, they were some sword demons!

The one in the middle was very tall, wearing an irregular and ferocious armor stomach, and a cloak with a tribal pattern painted on the back was already in tatters. The sword demon held a rough warhammer in his hand. There seemed to be some natural lines on the warhammer, with a bright yellow luster flowing from time to time. On the surface of the hammer body, a group of bright flames continued to rise and escape, as if the sword demon was holding a big torch in his hand.

Looking at the other sword demons, everyone is at the general level. This can be seen from their upright bodies. Only the sword demons at the general level will complete at least one evolution, changing their spine structure, thus forming a life form that can exert more strength.

These sword demons seemed to be on guard for something, and kept backing away. At this moment, a ball of silver light crashed in from outside the door. The demon with the war hammer roared, although it was just some kind of projection, but the sound was transmitted into the ears of Allen and others as if it were real. This cry had a penetrating power like piercing stone and gold, and everyone's eardrums hurt when they heard it. What surprised them even more was that the original projection on the sword demon's head was not the image of the sword demon, but a head with curved horns and hair spraying thin flames. The big head is covered with densely packed eyes, and the hands are like monsters with ape arms.

The phantom of the ferocious beast followed the sword demon's hammer, and also rushed towards the silver figure rushing in from the door. The two collided violently, bursting out an invisible flame of source force. The loud noise like hitting a mountain roared endlessly, shaking the expressions of Alan and the others. When the ray of light subsided a little, there was a large lump of sparking iron lying on the ground. It looked like it should be some kind of metal machine, but it was smashed flat by the knife demon. The sword demon kicked him out of the door and called repeatedly. A general rushed to the door and closed the door with the system inside.

The sword demons breathed a sigh of relief. The sword demon holding the warhammer should be their leader, or even a certain generation of chiefs from the tribe currently occupying the holy site. He made a gesture, and turned around with five or six generals and walked towards Allen and the others. Knowing that these were phantoms, the four of Allen felt nervous. It wasn't until their shadows passed by the four of them that the phantom disappeared suddenly.

Allen stood still for a while before smiling wryly, "What did we see?"

Lucy frowned in thought, and said after a while: "Remember that record we saw in the data room? The captain of the Erza said that the ship's warp accelerator had malfunctioned due to the out-of-control Sentry, which caused them to deviate from the changed the course, and thus came to the star of the underworld.”

"Are these projections related to the accident?" Willick asked.

"I'm afraid that's the case. I think that when the Erza made an emergency landing on Pluto, not only did the engineers on board not have time to repair the accelerator, but they also caused even greater damage." Lucy looked up and said, "Your Earth's interstellar navigation technology, It also adopts our warp space theory. Warp space is a special space that is one or even several dimensions higher than the real universe. It is similar to a wormhole but not like it. Matter can move forward quickly in this space. It is the main method we use to cross the star field."

"As we all know, the warp space can not only cross the star field, but also serve the purpose of long-distance shuttle. At the same time, it also affects time, so we are in the warp

When you travel in space at a high speed, you will find that it seems that you only spent a short time in space, but in fact many days have passed. "

Allen said: "The image just now?"

"The accelerator is damaged. It is very likely that part of this space, or even all of it, is in the warp space. In this corridor, I suspect that time and space are not stable. I am afraid that it was already like this when these sword demons came in. Under such a condition, when they use a lot of source power to fight, there is a high probability that the space will record it. It is also possible that we traveled through time and space and saw a certain scene that happened at that time." Lucy looked at it suspiciously Looking at the corridor: "In short, I doubt whether everyone can reach the other side of the corridor."

"How could it be impossible to reach it? It's only a few tens of meters away." Willick said.

Allen suddenly picked up the beam gun at his feet, and threw it forward. He threw all his strength, and the beam gun should have reached the end of the corridor without hindrance. However, after the beam gun flew seven or eight meters, it suddenly disappeared into the air. This weird scene made several people stunned on the spot, and a few minutes later, the beam gun suddenly appeared and fell from above their heads, and was caught by Willick.

"Damn it," Willick murmured.

"Sure enough, the time and space here has become unstable. But after so many years, the force field of the warp space is weakening, otherwise this beam gun will disappear forever. But the problem is, once we accidentally enter a certain space-time gap, But I don’t know where the exit will be. It’s okay if it’s still in the corridor, but if it falls directly into the reactor below…” Lucy didn’t need to say any more, and they all knew how serious the consequences would be.

Willick's face suddenly collapsed: "Then we can't move an inch?"

"Not necessarily. You also saw just now that the light speed gun flew more than seven meters away before disappearing. In other words, this distance is at least safe." Allen said.

Lucy shook her head and said: "You mean to use things for pathfinding, but it's not safe. Let's not talk about whether the space-time gaps inside are fixed, even if they are fixed. If we want to cross over, we have to bear a huge burden. risk. When the warp space is stable, the mana starship sails in the space at the corresponding speed, and offsets most of the influence of the warp space with the speed, so that it can safely reach the preset destination. In this On the basis of the theory, and deduced in reverse, it is not difficult to conclude that if the space is unstable, even if our speed can offset the impact of space, who knows where the exit will be and how much time has passed?"

"Among them, the most terrifying thing is the unpredictability of time. Have you ever thought that it would be fine if only a few minutes passed. What if ten years or even more years have passed by the time it comes out. Once the moment exceeds our lifespan Limit, we will die immediately when we leave the space!"

The expressions of Allen and the others were quite ugly immediately.

At this time, another exclamation sounded from the front of the corridor, and then a new image appeared.

It's still the sword demons, but one of the generals seems to have betrayed everyone. In the image that appeared, the general holding a battle gun was pulling the spear out of his companion's chest. The chief let out a roar of horror and anger, and swung his warhammer at the general. The general raised his gun and immediately fought fiercely in this corridor.

The four of Allen looked at each other, completely unaware of what happened
