Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 67: Another Earthquake?

It's cooled down.

With just a wave of the hand, time within a ten-meter radius will freeze.

only…

Wang Ji glanced at the second seat's hand.

He wore three spell rings on his left hand.

At higher levels, spell rings are not very common, or even extremely rare.

Firstly, there are very few materials that can withstand high-level forces, and the process is so complex and precise that even Wang Ji cannot wholesale them.

Secondly, there are higher-level spells; these spells can be cast with a wave of the hand, no slower than Wang Ji's quick casting.

For high-level players, spell rings are mostly useless, a waste of resources, and unnecessary.

But if a high-ranking person were to wear this...

Thinking of the high-ranking person who suddenly disappeared in the laser, someone whose name seemed to be Joward, Wang Ji began to have some doubts.

If it were an ordinary person, Wang Ji would try to take off the ring.

But these magical arts masters are very cunning and won't make such a small mistake. Their shields are connected to everything on their bodies, including clothes and rings. Without breaking the shields first, they can't do anything.

It can effectively prevent pickpockets.
However, if the shield can be broken, then the rings become irrelevant; breaking the shield means a complete stomp.

Should we start fighting?

Although I may not win, I will definitely not lose.

No matter how strong the person in front of you is, with resurrection and portals as a safety net, even if you are instantly killed, you can resurrect on the spot and make a strategic retreat.

Putting yourself in that situation, even if Wang Ji were to kill himself, he would find it difficult.

I feel at ease.

Wang Ji slightly raised his hand, but was interrupted by the second seat in front of him.

He suddenly said, "I can tell you're very confident, and that confidence seems very familiar to me."

"If you are willing to sign a contract and pledge allegiance to the Empire, then I can guarantee that you will become the third seat, and your ideal community can continue to be autonomous."

"Even the matter of you killing Joward and Albert can be temporarily waived."

"Don't worry that I'm lying to you. I think it's worth it to fill the gap between the two of them."

Wang Ji smiled.

"How arrogant."

“I’ll return these words to you verbatim. Oh, no, I need to make some changes. After you surrender, I will settle accounts with you for what you’ve done. You’d better not have done too many evil deeds.”

"Ah."

The second seatmate gave a cold laugh and said, "You're as childish as you look."

"They're just like those naive students who've been locked up in a cage since childhood, spouting righteousness and right and wrong, unaware that in this world, self-interest is what determines everything."

"Don't argue with me, child. You can talk about ideals here and build your ideal community, isn't it because your fundamental interests haven't been touched?"

“You have the ability to guarantee that, that cannot be denied, but when your interests are truly threatened, I suspect you will be more anxious than anyone else.”

"I'm giving up my interests to accommodate you, and you still don't know what's good for you and are ungrateful."

Do I really have to put it so harshly?

"Use your brain, young 'sage'..."

Wang Ji shook his head and didn't listen to him continue.

"You're hopeless."

"They consider themselves smart and superior, yet they do the most foolish things. They are narrow-minded, with only a tiny vision in their minds, filled with nothing but self-interest."

"Perhaps some of what you said is true, and perhaps in your field, you do have some magnanimity."

"But you don't have the courage to take any step outside of your understanding."

"I've always been reluctant to speak about the scum of the empire."

"But since you've already said so much, I'll give you one more chance to ask one more question."

"How long has it been since you lost contact with your so-called Archmage of the Temple, Osvid?"

"... "

The second seat was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and said, "It seems there are some restless people in the palace."

"you know too much."

The second seatman suddenly took a step back, but Wang Ji quietly slapped him first.

Time pauses!

"Ok?"

What a thick shield!

When the shadow of the lacquer struck the person in front of him, even Wang Ji was somewhat surprised.

This person's shield is twice as thick as the previous two, which translates to an energy level of at least 13.

It's not easy to break.

But even if it's difficult to break, it has to be broken.

"Level 10 Shadow Bind, break!"

Wang Ji tensely maintained his usual maximum output, frequently triggering his star abilities, applying poison, decay, and weakness all at once, while blue lightning crackled, specifically targeting one person. Even so...

After nine seconds of high-density bombardment, the shield still had a small portion remaining.

Time resumes its flow.

Swah——

The moment the time stop ended, the second seat in front of him suddenly disappeared.

But unlike the high-ranking one who escaped last time, it seems he went to another world.

This time, Wang Ji did not lose track of his target.

He looked towards the capital and saw that the second seat had already entered the city, instantly teleporting him to a tall, ancient-looking tower.

"Cough, cough..."

At that moment, he was coughing up blood while keeping a wary eye on Wang Ji.

"So that's how they were killed."

"It almost killed me, and this feeling of weakness... like plants withering and turning to ash, my life force is slipping away."

Snapped.

A ring shattered.

"Hmph, I must say, it's an interesting power, but I bet you can't use it continuously for a while, right?"

"And distance is also your weakness; it seems that attacking you would also trigger some rules."

The second seatman stood atop the tower and said to Wang Ji, who was far away, "It's tricky, but also very interesting."

The sound wasn't loud, but Wang Ji heard it.

This is a targeted long-range sound transmission.

Although he is more accustomed to using network communication, Wang Ji also knows this method.

The two began to communicate remotely.

"So what? Do you dare to step out of your tower?"

"Do you dare come over?"

"Come here."

"Why don't you come over?"

The situation has reached a stalemate.

Both of them had a bunch of wicked ideas in their heads.

Wang Ji wasn't in a hurry; he was waiting for things to cool down.

As for that high-ranking second seat...

Wang Ji's gaze shifted slightly.

Another companion of his arrived.

The two stood together on the tower, their eyes fixed on Wang Ji on the horizon with extreme vigilance.

Seeing this, Wang Ji suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

A few years ago, these high-ranking individuals were still aloof and unapproachable, and I didn't even dare to show my face. They were truly annihilated the moment I showed my face.

Even the obsidian walls couldn't withstand the power of their casual swings; they blew up Hellgates one by one.

But now, just by standing here, he has made the two of them afraid to leave the capital.

Although this is mutual.

Since the two of them weren't coming out, Wang Ji didn't really want to go in either.

Those two seemed to have something to rely on.

What does Beijing have to offer?

Wang Ji wasn't very sure and didn't want to try.

We still know far too little about the capital city…

Boom!

Just as they were locked in a stalemate, the earth suddenly trembled, and everything in sight seemed to be shaking. Wang Ji's attention was immediately drawn to it, and the two high-ranking officials in the capital also turned their heads to look around.

Another earthquake?

"We can't stop them! We can't stop them! Hurry!"

A figure hurriedly flew to the capital and rushed towards the two high-ranking officials who were confronting Wang Ji.

"What can't be stopped?"

The second seat frowned and said, "Is there anything more urgent than the sages of the ideal community watching from the outside?"

"you…"

"What, what sage? Never mind all that, look south, look south now!"

The high-ranking official, who had suddenly returned, shouted in a panic, and even Wang Ji couldn't help but look curiously in the direction he was pointing.

"That is…"

what?
