Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

The old vampire, who was the mayor of Cangxing City, spoke slowly, still having the mind to savor the coffee on the table.

After sealing the bamboo forest, these powerful adventurers had a premonition that the City of Bones would one day reappear, but they never expected it to be today.

Originally, the old vampire wanted to give Amat the location of the royal tomb so that he could explore it.

However, due to the withering of the bamboo forest and the full emergence of the City of Bones, his plan went wrong, so now he simply went along with it and allowed Amat to fully develop that area.

"Aren't you worried that the Fountain of Youth will fall into the wrong hands? You've been hiding behind the scenes for so many years, I don't believe that the entire Cangxing City will completely obey your orders in the face of this extraordinary treasure, especially now that there are so many outsiders here."

"It's alright, with me here, the Cangxing City area won't change."

The old vampire was very confident in himself. After all, there was only one medium-level dangerous area and four low-level dangerous areas in the vicinity of Cangxing City. The resources produced by these dangerous areas could not support strong people.

As the legendary powerhouse who single-handedly created Cangxing City, the old vampire is one of the strongest beings in the Cangxing City area. His life level of thirty-eight allows him to crush all the groups in Cangxing City with his own strength.

Moreover, his old friend, who had been exploring various dangerous places for many years, had also come at the invitation. His combat strength was even greater, and he was now preparing to enter the royal tomb to assist Amat.

"Whether it's those adventurers from other places, or that pile of skeletons in the royal tomb, or even the newly emerged King of the Bamboo Sea, none of them can stir up any trouble here."

Chapter 191 The Power of the Ever-Changing Nature of Matter

"How was everyone's rest? Ready for a big push?"

The elite squad appeared ahead of the city guards. They had completed their exploration of all the outer bone towers and were now heading straight for the royal tomb.

Before entering the royal tomb, they still had one last hurdle to overcome.

The city guards in the bamboo forest have found the entrance to the royal tomb, but it is not the cave that Bell discovered, but an exceptionally large official entrance guarded by many white bone towers. To enter through the main gate, one must pass through these white bone towers guarding the main entrance of the royal tomb.

This was a massive undertaking, and even with the strength of the city guards and the church, they did not act rashly.

Their plan was to spend at least three days breaching the gates of the royal tomb before sending an elite team inside to explore.

They set up various fortifications on the ground and were ready for positional warfare.

While the city guards and the church forces launched their assault on the gates of the royal tomb, Bell, deep underground, was adjusting the ultra-wide-area magic array he had set up.

Bell estimated that it would take him about three days to restructure the ultra-wide-area magic circle.

In an instant, Bell, who was hiding in the bamboo forest, and the city guards who were attacking the dungeon head-on were both busy, and the bamboo forest was filled with a lively atmosphere.

"However, once my magic circle is set up, these adventurers and city guards should be cleared out of the bamboo forest."

While constantly adjusting the magic circle he had previously set up, Bell indicated that once the magic circle was completed, it would be best to avoid having any outside adventurers in the bamboo forest.

Firstly, these outsiders do not belong to the overall environment of the bamboo forest, and their presence within the bamboo forest would affect the effectiveness of Bell's ultra-wide-area magic array.

Secondly, Bell decided to spare these human adventurers, because if they were left inside the activated ultra-wide-area magic circle, they would surely die.

It's important to understand that Bell's ultra-wide-area magic circle was not safe; its purpose was to manipulate time, thereby enabling him to use the Bamboo Sea region to annex the City of Bones.

After activating the ultra-wide magic circle, Bell himself will not stay in the bamboo forest to prevent his own safety from being compromised.

As Bell continued to ponder and the city guards steadily advanced, three days quietly passed.

When the numerous white bone spires that stood at the official entrance of the royal tomb turned into ruins, Bell returned to the area directly below the royal tomb and activated the core of the ultra-wide-area magic circle.

This time, Bell was more serious than ever before. He used [Army Condensation] to imbue himself with the consciousness of all the skeletons in the royal tomb.

"I will give you your freedom."

He muttered to himself that the desire for freedom was the key to Bell's ability to unite these skeletons using [Military Force Cohesion].

All the skeletons yearn for freedom, and Bell promises to give them freedom.

"The world was not created by any person or any god; its past, present, and future are an eternally burning living fire."

Reciting the skill evaluation of [Fire-Loving Wisdom], Bell, with the help of the Skeleton Clan's will, activated the skill to an unprecedented level.

Flames rose from his body, transforming under the catalysis of magic.

It formed an upward-spiraling tornado that struck the bottom of the royal tomb.

This place has been carved by Bell into a honeycomb-like structure, with numerous magical symbols engraved on the surrounding stones to aid Bell's flames in burning.

"Heaven and earth are the furnace, and all things are the copper; yin and yang are the charcoal, and creation is the craftsman."

The bard's professional abilities, through the power of his writings, influenced the world's will.

In an instant, the flames burning with magic changed from crimson to a void with black edges but almost colorless interior. The white bone structure that formed the foundation of the royal tomb collapsed into ashes under the burning of this almost void flames.

This is the first step in activating the Belna Ultra-Wide Magic Array, which will involve destroying the royal tomb, the core of the array.

The royal tomb also contains all sorts of treasures, as well as a massive amount of death energy, but Bell knows that these are things he cannot take with him.

A massive fire that shattered the material structure completely incinerated and corrupted these rare treasures and death energy, transforming them into the purest energy that was poured into the ultra-wide-area magic circle designed by Bell. This was one of the energy sources for activating the ultra-wide-area magic circle.

The idea of ​​a super-wide-area magic circle is not unheard of in the long history of mages.

However, any mage with such a vision will face a problem: even if the designed ultra-wide-area magic circle can be self-sufficient after activation, where can such a large amount of energy be found to activate the magic circle before activation?

It's important to understand that the energy generated from the burning royal tombs is still insufficient.

"It's a pity about my luck attribute, but it's a necessary sacrifice."

The Azure Tear ring, which can enhance the wearer's luck attribute and restore energy for the wearer in critical moments, has been removed from Bell's tail. It's time for it to leave Bell's side.

The core of the Azure Tear is a gem containing a massive amount of energy. For an individual, the energy contained in this gem is virtually inexhaustible; no matter how much one squanders it, it will never run out.

However, for the entire bamboo forest region, the energy contained in the Azure Tears can only barely increase the regional energy concentration.

The Azure Tears were thrown into the flames, shattering into a string of blue powder. The massive energy made these colorless flames extremely intense, transforming them into pulses that surged outwards from the location of the royal tomb, illuminating the various magical markers that Bell had set up along the way.

The round stones, which had already been engraved with magical symbols, were now linked together, emitting a mysterious vibration.

The royal tomb above was still crumbling. Bell sensed the changes in the flames and acted at the right time. With a grab of his hands, he twisted and deformed the five-colored flames that were still under his control, creating a ring-shaped gap in the flames.

"Mr. Bell, we've arrived!"

The skeletons, who had been waiting deep within the royal tomb for a long time, seized the opportunity and leaped down from the undead gap above, jumping directly into the bottom cavity dug by Bell through the flames.

It was here that they discovered the royal tomb rules that had previously restricted them had disappeared. There were no longer any rules restricting their movement, nor any strong desire to kill any living beings outside.

The skeletons are free.

"I know you have a lot to say, but now is not the time. You should leave!"

Bell disconnected from the skull

The spiritual link between the skeletons and the race allowed them to quickly leave the underground. He had previously dug an exit passage for the skeletons, and given their speed, they could appear on the ground five kilometers away in just over ten minutes.

Bell knew that if the skeletons stayed here, he could continue to control the increasingly raging flames by using the [Army Condensation] state.

But doing so would jeopardize the safety of the Skeletons, something Bell didn't want to see.

See you later.

The skeletons said something solemnly, then disappeared from Bell's side.

After they disappeared, the flames that Bell controlled with his mental power suddenly expanded, filling the entire underground. The flames here were so fierce that Bell could hardly control them.

A large amount of energy was released from the depths of the royal tomb, and the small round stone magic circle that Bell had laid deep underground was activated.

A vast number of small magic circles overlapped each other and gradually formed medium-sized magic circles. These medium-sized magic circles then continued to circulate and combine, forming large-scale magic circles.

When magic circles with different effects are combined, they eventually form extremely complex and diverse wide-area magic circles.

"At this time, we also need a force with long-term influence."

Bell had previously acquired a large number of magic scrolls, which not only laid the knowledge foundation for him to construct magic circles, but also brought Bell a key power.

With a wave of his hands, Bell extended his will and took out the complex magic formula he had prepared beforehand. This was a magic formula that transformed raging flames into flames with special effects.

The raging flames currently in use have undergone astonishing transformations under the constraints of the magical formula.

The flames no longer surged, nor did they ignite anything.

These flames turned into eerie white phosphorescent lights, losing their terrifying high temperature.

But this does not mean that it has lost its power; rather, the power of these flames has been restricted to a specific aspect.

These flames are like maggots clinging to bones, impossible to extinguish using conventional methods, but they do not threaten the survival of ordinary people.

It only ignites bones, which possess Bell's power to burn into bone meal that promotes plant growth.

Bell never forgot that beneath the bamboo forest lay a unique environment called the Bone Mound, a mound that enclosed the city of the dead and contained a vast number of bones.

"These flames will continue to decompose the bones, turning them into nutrients while also providing energy for this ultra-wide-area magic circle."

The Azure Tears and parts of the Royal Tomb served as the first energy source to activate the Ultra-Wide Area Magic Array.

The bone mounds and the vast starlight are the daily energy sources of this ultra-wide-area magic circle.

In Bell's plan, this magic circle will operate for thousands of years to aid in the recovery of the bamboo forest.

The effects of wide-area magic are numerous, such as increasing the magic concentration in an entire area, enhancing the growth efficiency of plants in that area, and increasing the probability of animals transforming into magical beasts...

Clearly, if the magic circle were to actually activate, humans and other extraterrestrial beings would not allow such a dangerous place as the Bamboo Forest to recover unchecked for thousands of years.

At this point, it is necessary to activate the core function of the ultra-wide-area magic circle: time acceleration.

这 是

Bell conceived the idea while researching the time dilemma: if one day in the outside world equals ten years in the bamboo forest, then no force could stop the revival of this perilous place.

But Bell is still unable to manipulate the power of time. He can't even make good use of the remnants of time, so he can only inscribe them into his body to construct a seemingly plausible time dilemma.
