Joshua raised his head.
His gaze penetrated the hazy gray mist to the black sky above the distant sky. There, the blue-white thunder and lightning was raging crazily, blooming with extremely bright traces. Soon after, a rumbling low roar began. It came from a distance, and the thunder gradually became fainter until it disappeared.
But this is not the end.
Accompanied by a slight 'crash' sound, a strong wind suddenly rose from the distant land. The air flow rotated, carrying countless dust and sandstones up to the sky, forming a huge wind curtain. The gray mist all over the earth was gathered by this wind. Turned into gray rivers hanging in the sky.
The gray fog dissipated, and the vision suddenly became clear—
The strong wind swept across the flat plain, and even the people standing far away were blown by the aftermath, with their hair flying. Even Claire, who was thinking about the dangerous situation of her own power decline, couldn't help but raise her head. She saw Now, high in the sky, the black sky is rolling like a whirlpool.
Extreme cold invaded the earth at this moment. The temperature on the plains was not even mild at first, but now it has dropped to an extreme cold that is even colder than the coldest winter. The earth is covered with a layer of frost, ice crystal snowflakes. Condensing and falling in the void, in just a few breaths, the gray dust plain turned white.
If it were an ordinary person, he would freeze to death in an instant. Fortunately, here are three golden warriors and a weapon that ignores the cold and heat. Even if Claire's strength is somewhat reduced because she has lost her connection with nature, she will not be afraid. this temperature.
The chaotic changes in the distance brought thunder and wind and snow. Everyone could see a black wind pillar appearing in the distant sky. It was a tornado, and along with the tornado came heavy rain.
"Crash la la la -"
A strange and clear sound resounded between the heaven and the earth. The rainstorm approached quickly from far to near, expanding to where everyone was. Under Moria's shocked eyes, countless translucent crystals with a hint of silvery luster appeared like raindrops. Falling from the sky.
"Crystal of Steel?!"
The old dwarf could discern the nature of these crystals just by looking at them, and his beard trembled with surprise. Using golden-red fighting spirit to resist the cleaning of the crystal rain, he stretched out his big hand and grabbed a handful of crystals in his hand. The silver-white gems shone with blurred light, and the powerful and pure power of steel overflowed, which made Moria I almost couldn't breathe: "So many?! Such precious materials, unexpectedly, now they are falling like rain..."
The tone was floating. Even as the tallest rune dwarf in the North, he had never been so luxurious. Speaking of this, Moria seemed to think of something. The old dwarf looked around and murmured: "Legend, At the beginning of the birth of the world and when it is on the verge of destruction, a large amount of free steel power will condense into crystals... Could it be that this is the time you are talking about?"
"This doesn't look like the beginning of the world."
Claire whispered to the side, the green magic power condensed into the shadow of thorns, which protected her from the invasion of the crystal rainstorm. The Elf Druid's expression seemed a little unhappy: "Obviously, this world is on the verge of destruction, so There is such a strange sight, and this is the only reason that can explain why I can't feel even the slightest bit of natural force."
The power of nature is the power that comes from all living things. It is similar to the vitality in living things, but it is not the same. It is a kind of existence between fighting spirit and magic power. It is a power born in the ecological circle. It has With all kinds of strange and wonderful functions, druids can rely on it to spawn trees, transform species and plants, and obtain better offspring and seeds.
Generally speaking, as long as the ecosystem exists, the power of nature will not disappear, but now Claire cannot feel its call, which is enough to prove that this world has long been dead and there is no longer any life.
And Joshua was bathed in the crystal rain, letting these hard gems hit him, making a banging sound. On his side, the red fighting spirit held up a rain cover to help Rin resist falling from the sky. crystallization below.
He stretched out his hand and caught a steel crystal. Joshua keenly noticed that the gray fog around him had completely disappeared, and the gradually decreasing energy in his body had also improved, but as time passed, Both the steel crystals that landed on the ground and the crystals he held in his hands were rapidly turning black and red, until finally, they all turned into the same one he found on Yingying's body before.
Moria and Claire naturally noticed this first point. Even Rin turned to look at the warrior with a surprised expression. Joshua nodded and said: "It is indeed the same breath. It seems that we have The steel crystal examined came from the current crystal rainstorm."
After saying that, he continued to look up into the distance.
In the distant sky, black clouds were still rolling, and tornadoes and blue-white thunder continued to flash.
That's where the crystal rain spreads, and... what exactly happened
Thinking doubtfully, all this is beyond the scope of Joshua's experience. Even if he falls into the abyss at the end of chaos, it is very different from this world. At this time, he is going to use the system to take a look at this What exactly is going on.
When you turn on the system, countless messages immediately flood the screen.
[You have entered the apocalyptic world: Kallis of Famine]
[This world is suitable for human survival, and you do not need to pay extra costs for survival.]
[warn! This world is eroded by Chaos and is very dangerous!]
[warn! The world is on the verge of destruction and is very dangerous!]
[Introduction: Kallis was a once glorious magical world that gave birth to a great and glorious civilization. However, in a disaster that occurred more than 1,100 years ago, the civilization became extinct and the world gradually fell into destruction. abyss.]
[Status·Chaos Erosion: The breath of chaos erodes your body, causing your body to gradually weaken, your perception to decrease, and all attributes to drop by one level. (Due to the Unburnt Fire property, you are not affected by this status)
—breathing and decay from the end.]
[Status·Mana Energy Loss: The surrounding low-energy environment affects your power, causing the upper limit of your magic, fighting spirit and various special energy slots to temporarily decrease.
- Being imprisoned in a prison without miracles is the greatest pain for the strong.]
[Status·Fireless world: A world of burned-out ashes, without a soul or any life. Unimaginable loneliness and rejection from the world torture you. You need to pay soul points to maintain the light of your existence.
—When civilization collapses, life becomes extinct, when wisdom disappears, and order ceases to exist... This is the day when the fire will be exhausted.]
The situation looked very critical, and Joshua couldn't help but frown.
But now, the two states of magic energy loss and fireless world are displayed in gray, which means that they have been temporarily stopped and replaced by a state called [Purification of Steel].
[Status·Purification of Steel: The power of steel from the beginning of creation will re-erupt in the end of the world, and it can still be effective even in a world without fire. Banish most negative states.
—The pulse and counterattack of the world is the will of steel]
"It seems that this world is really on the verge of destruction."
Seeing the original three negative states, Joshua couldn't help but think that the erosion of chaos, the loss of magic energy and the fireless world undoubtedly proved that the world was on the verge of destruction, and even the existence of magic and soul could not support it. , but the final purification of steel proves that the world is at least still trying to save the situation, which is somewhat salvageable.
After confirming the current situation, Joshua turned around and said to Moria and Claire, who were still observing the crystal rain: "You two, I think we should move in that direction."
As he spoke, he pointed in the direction where the thunder and tornadoes had appeared before. Since the vision became much clearer, everyone could see that there were many peaks and hills in that direction.
"Why?"
The old dwarf was still looking at the steel crystal in his hand reluctantly. This time, it was Claire who was the first to raise doubts.
"Because that's the only place with light and movement in this desolate world - the crystal rain of steel also spreads from that direction. Besides, don't you think your physical condition is much better now?"
