The cave they were in didn't look that solid. Under the impact of this explosion, will it...
Thinking of this, Benjamin almost had his hair standing on end.
"Quick! Go back! Go back into the secret passage!"
He shouted as he summoned more water films to block their heads. Almost as soon as he completed this move, the entire cave seemed to be unable to withstand the impact and began to collapse.
Stones mixed with soil fell down like shoddy buildings that had suffered an earthquake. If Benjamin hadn't prepared the water film, they might have been buried in the soil at this moment.
But... Despite this, Benjamin still felt very strenuous.
"Get out quickly! I can't resist for long!"
The whole world is shaking, there is a rumbling sound in the ears, and almost no one can maintain balance in this situation. Benjamin couldn't help but summon more water vapor, forming a strong wind, pushing the people on their side to run away.
"That Scarlett and the others..." The king was pushed away by the steam and couldn't help but look back.
There was a cloud of smoke and dust, and nothing could be seen clearly.
"Leave them alone! I can't save them!" Benjamin urged loudly.
The king was pushed by the steam, and the whole cave was shaken so violently that he soon staggered around and could no longer run. Benjamin could only try his best to use magic to lift most of the people and fly outside.
However, there was another roar.
Benjamin's head hurt, as if a thousand pounds of weight were pressing on their heads. He looked up and saw that it was not just the rocks and soil that had collapsed. The entire cave wall was pressed against the water film, as if the sky was directly pressing down on him. Benjamin felt like he couldn't breathe at all.
Oops... Oops, I feel like I can't bear it anymore.
He didn't know how much weight he was holding up with his magic at this moment, but maybe the entire mountain was about as heavy as that, right
Benjamin's face almost turned red, and he could only use his last bit of strength to support some of the people and fly outward.
At the same time, the ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked, revealing bottomless darkness. Some soldiers who tried to run out missed the point and fell into the dark abyss, and various screams were heard.
As for Benjamin, he couldn't hold it any longer at this time.
Why... I haven't flown out yet...
When they entered, they thought the cave was a bit small, but if he could have predicted the situation, he would never have complained like this.
"Hold the person next to you and don't let go!"
Eventually, Benjamin felt his will was overdrawn. Using magic to carry an entire cave is not something ordinary people can endure. Therefore, before his mental power was completely exhausted, he used the last water balloon technique, which together with the water film around him, formed a huge bubble and enveloped everyone in it.
Then, the huge water ball that enveloped nearly a hundred people quickly fell with a deafening roar and disappeared into the darkness. At the same time, without the last obstacle, the rock wall collapsed like a collapsed building, and the entire cave was completely filled in at this moment, as if it had never existed.
The noisy underground of the palace finally calmed down at this moment.
I don’t know how long it took...
"Hey, wake up! Wake up!"
"Well… "
"Benjamin, open your eyes quickly, you will be washed away if you fall asleep again. Hey! Did you hear that? I hold you in my hand and burn incense religiously..."
Benjamin woke up suddenly.
He suddenly sat up from the ground, feeling dizzy and tinnitus. He was inexplicably wet all over and couldn't relax for a while.
"Stop being in a daze and move quickly." The system urged him again in his mind.
Benjamin rubbed his temples, took a deep breath, and slowly came back to his senses. He remembered the last second before he lost consciousness. The bubbles fell rapidly, and his vision was completely swallowed up by darkness, and he could not see anything. After that, he remembered nothing.
He probably wasn't thrown to death or anything, just fainted.
what about now
He moved his aching body, but it was nothing serious. He probably wasn't killed by the fall. The blisters he created before fainting seemed to have played a lot of role.
But...it's so dangerous!
Who would have thought? The spellcasting by a group of mages actually caused such terrifying elemental movements in the cave. Under the series of explosions, the entire hole collapsed.
He really wanted to question the system. Is this what the so-called "will be counterattacked" means? Does this guy understand the meaning of the word backlash? But he also knew, what would be the use of asking? Benjamin could even imagine what words it would use to answer.
Forget it...just get used to it.
Just because the system hasn’t cheated people for a while doesn’t mean it won’t cheat people again in the future.
Shaking his head, he stood up and began to observe his environment. This place is still underground, but the space is much narrower than the cave just now. The walls are covered with moss and emit a slight fluorescent light, which is the only source of light in this underground world. There was a feeling of fluid flowing at his feet. Looking down, he seemed to be in a very shallow underground river.
This is... After the collapse, he fell into another, narrower underground world
Benjamin felt a little uneasy. The original underground cave was already very deep. How long did they fall after the collapse? Can you still go back
As for the safety of other people, he wasn't too worried.
Because, under the fluorescent light of the moss, he could vaguely see that there were many people lying in this underground stream. One, two... The soldiers didn't know clearly, but the mages brought by Benjamin were still there, and some were being washed away bit by bit by the current. Benjamin hurriedly dragged them ashore. The king's figure was also among them, twitching and twitching, obviously still alive.
Just stay alive.
Benjamin felt much more relaxed at that moment.
Thinking about it just now, it was really an unforeseen disaster. The queen's mage cast a spell, causing them to suffer as well. Fortunately, nothing happened. Let's wake the person up and find a way out.
After feeling his mental strength, he found that he was not too overdrawn and had recovered a lot just now. Therefore, Benjamin summoned one healing water balloon after another and smashed it at the unconscious people around him, hoping to wake them up as soon as possible. .
However, he soon discovered something was wrong.
Among these mages... it seems that there are not only his subordinates, but also some unfamiliar faces.
"Is this mage a subordinate of the queen?" Benjamin frowned, pointed at a strange mage wearing a robe, and asked in his heart.
"Yeah." The system said, "Not just this one, the one on the left... and the two in front, they are all the Queen's men. Keep your eyes open when you save people."
"I thought they were all killed in the initial elemental explosion."
"I'm lucky, so I can't do that."
“…”
Benjamin looked towards the mages.
Those mages belonging to the Queen looked obviously in a much more miserable state, and there were even many wounds on their bodies, which may have been caused by the elemental riots. However, the most noteworthy thing is... they are still alive.
If they were alive, that meant the queen was alive—at least not dead yet.
Survive an explosion like that? How can it be
Benjamin felt a little weird.
After the elemental riot, smoke and dust filled the sky, and nothing could be seen clearly. The water element sensing method was limited, so he didn't know what happened on the other side, and couldn't figure out how the queen survived.
However, looking at the current situation, the Queen and her mages may also have fallen here.
Thinking of this, he immediately sensed everything around him. If they can find the unconscious Queen and take the opportunity to control her, and at the same time control the entire Icol, then their defeat was not in vain!
However, after searching around, there were only about a hundred unconscious people nearby. And among these hundreds of people, there is no queen.
"Did you notice the Queen while I was falling?" He asked the system again.
"I didn't see it." The system replied. "Maybe they fell to a different location, or maybe they were washed away by the water. Who knows? The enemy mages you just rescued were also washed away by the water. "
"… All right."
Benjamin had no choice but to give up the idea of capturing the queen and continue to wake these people up.
