Chapter 679 Deadly Countdown

Lana felt they should be able to handle it easily in two days.

Given the rate at which these tentacles are strengthening, they may eventually be forced close, but at least they can withstand it.

However, those tentacles don't reason with them or gradually increase their intensity.

Seeing that even with increased corrosive power, the barrier of the 'virus' was still not broken, the tentacles of the immune system quickly became active, and a large number of tentacles completely covered the space.

Everyone felt the temperature around them rise sharply.

If the initial temperature was likened to a fever of 38°C, and the first subsequent increase was 39°C, then now it has directly reached 41°C.

Of course, this is just a metaphor; the actual temperature is much hotter.

The scorching heat forced all the mages, including Celia, to expend more magic to combat the temperature.

If an ordinary person were to survive here, they probably wouldn't last more than ten minutes.

Celia wasn't sure of the exact temperature, but it was probably around fifty or sixty.

She also joined the fight against corruption.

"If this continues, we may only be able to hold out for another day and a half."

Lana frowned and looked at Celia.

"Miss Xi, are we really not going to try another approach?"

Celia said, "If you want to try, you can. I'll be waiting for you here."

"I think we should listen to Miss Xi and try to get through these two days."

"No, I think that while we still have the resources, we should try other methods."

"Then should I attack these things?" Lana asked impatiently.

Celia nodded. "Whatever."

Although the two days were a bit tough, Celia felt that with her total amount of magic power and the way she used it, she might not be unable to withstand it.

Therefore, it's not a problem to let these people do it first.

What if we discover a way to avoid spending two days grinding away?

With Celia's permission, Lana raised her hand and swiftly cast a fifth-order spell through the puppet.

The entire space, except for the enormous monster at the center, was shrouded in emerald green magic.

These magical powers quickly condensed into fine threads.

Moments later, the threads solidified and instantly strangled all the tentacles!

Numerous tentacles burst open, filling the entire space with strange slime before slowly sinking into the ground and disappearing after a moment.

The entire underground space suddenly became clear.

Lana showed a look of relief.

She felt all her frustration vanish.

That's what I want.

Although they are sorcerers guarding the royal court, only a few are actually skilled in defense.

Nature-based magic focuses on control and attack, with very few defensive spells.

Furthermore, its spell defense is no match for ice magic, let alone earth magic.

Therefore, forcing them to only defend and not retaliate is really frustrating.

However, her pleasure only lasted for less than three minutes.

Soon, more tentacles appeared on the surrounding cave walls.

These tentacles are different from the ones that were just strangled.

Their colors became darker.

Lana looked at Celia.

Celia nodded.

So she didn't hold back and used a spell again.

The same natural elements, the same fine threads and strangulation.

But this time, Lana's expression was not one of relief, but rather one of seriousness.

"These tentacles are now more defensive."

The captain said irritably, "See? Miss Xi said it can't be solved this way, but you insisted on trying."

Lana gave an awkward smile: "I was just wondering if there's any limit to how many tentacles there are. If we kill them all, would that solve the crisis?"

Celia said calmly, "Yes, killing them all would solve the problem. So, have you dealt with the beast tide?" Lana opened her mouth, but didn't say a word.

Then, new tentacles appeared again.

This time the color is darker and the corrosiveness is stronger.

Everyone looked at Lana, who knew she was in the wrong, so she said, "You all go and try other methods. I'll stay here and help Miss Xi resist the corrosion of these tentacles."

The captain nodded: "Okay, the rest of you, follow me. We'll lure some of the tentacles away and see if we can prevent them from corroding us."

The captain briefly explained his thoughts.

It's simply because they feel that running away consumes far less magic power than defending.

If these tentacles fly slower than them, they can keep circling in this 'underworld' without taking any precautions.

That should be enough time to get through the two days.

Celia didn't say anything, she just nodded and agreed to their attempt.

Then, the group immediately left, flying off in all directions.

Celia hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

"Why did you split up again?"

Lana said, "It's better to split up. If we all run in a group, we'll just become targets."

"However, this is a system. You can think of it as a person's body. No matter where you escape to, you are inside the body. These tentacles can emerge from the cave walls at any time. Whether they split or not, the danger is different."

Lana shrugged: "Then they'll just have to pray for the best."

Time passed slowly.

After Celia joined the defense, Lana found that the pressure she faced was similar to, or even less than, the pressure she felt when defending with others.

As if she knew how to slow down the corrosion, she could conserve magic power as much as possible.

at the same time.

The captain is sprinting through the underground passages of subspace.

After he rushed out, his first thought was to look at the tentacles behind him. He saw the tentacles rushing over, but their speed was no match for that of a fifth-tier mage, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he brought it up again very soon.

Tentacles began to appear on the surrounding cave walls.

These tentacles didn't just emerge from behind him, but also from the front, blocking his way.

Fortunately, it took some time for these tentacles to form an impenetrable encirclement, so he quickly bypassed them and continued forward.

However, it wasn't long before he discovered that the path ahead was blocked by tentacles.

The tentacles seemed to know which path he wanted to take, so they blocked the entire way, forcing him to stop.

"As expected, this method won't work either."

The captain shook his head, preparing to retreat, only to find that his rear was also blocked by tentacles.

"It seems we have no choice but to break through it head-on."

The captain frowned, took a deep breath, and immediately transformed into a drill, burrowing into the tentacle.

Numerous tentacles exploded.

Not long after, he returned to the vast space where Celia was.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Lana asked.

The captain shook his head.

"This method won't work."

"Tell me what happened?" Celia asked curiously.

The captain told the two what had happened to him.

Lana's expression changed.

"Then what about the others...?"

"The current strength shouldn't pose a threat to fourth-tier mages for the time being, so they should be fine."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure rushed out from between the tentacles and crashed down in front of the three of them.

"save……"
