Chapter 170 Senior, help me!
"By the way, do you know what this is?" Jiang Shaoxu took out the glass bead that Li Wei had given her. Boss Wu was the only super-level mage here, much more powerful than them, and with the broadest knowledge. He might know something.
"This thing?" Mr. Wu held it in his hand and examined it carefully. He even tried to test it with magic energy, but no matter what he did, it didn't change. It was just a nicer-looking glass bead.
Returning the glass bead to Jiang Shaoxu, General Manager Wu shook his head and said, "To me, it's just an ordinary glass bead. The only difference is that it's a bit prettier than the average one. Did he give it to me?"
This "he" naturally refers to Li Wei. Jiang Shaoxu only took it out after meeting Li Wei; if it were before, she would have shown it to him long ago.
"Well, let's leave it at that for now. This was given to Su Ming by an old man from his hometown."
Mr. Wu nodded. "Su Ming, you're that kid who came recently, right? I wonder what this is, going to such lengths to send him something like this."
"Let's go check that out there, keep up," said General Manager Wu, and started running.
There used to be a patch of black ice in the sky, but it's gone now. Something might have happened. Once everything is alright, they can move around freely again.
The group exchanged glances and silently followed in Mr. Wu's footsteps.
They have nothing left to do, and fighting against the Nine-Headed Serpent is beyond the capabilities of people of their level.
They ran there, so there was no need to expend any magic power; Mr. Wu was waiting for them ahead.
When they arrived, Mr. Wu stopped at a fork in the road.
"You're all here, right? Come up and we'll talk," said Mr. Wu, then jumped onto the roof.
The others jumped up as well. As soon as they got up, they saw the scene below: some disgusting black insects were writhing and moving in a certain direction.
That place was encased in a black sphere, and no one could discover what was inside that black sphere. In the middle was a cube of black ice.
"This is-----?"
They could hardly believe that so many insects had appeared here, and that inside—
"Yes, you're not mistaken. There are indeed people releasing magical auras inside, probably defensive magic. We just can't see them because they're surrounded by black insects. It should be inside that black sphere, and the magical aura is very chaotic, indicating there are quite a few people, probably high-level mages or something similar," Mr. Wu said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's save them. They'll all die once these bugs break through their defenses," Mu Bai said.
"Don't rush, didn't you notice?" President Wu stopped Mu Bai, placed his hand on the air in front of him to test the distance, and then punched it.
After the punch, water gushed from Mr. Wu's hand as he tried to move forward, but he was blocked after a distance, as if something was obstructing him.
"See? There's an invisible wall blocking our way. Even if we wanted to get through, there's no way to do it," Mr. Wu said helplessly.
This wall is so soft that even super-powerful magic might not be able to break it.
"Those insects are also magic; they seem to be able to absorb magical energy. I could sense them glancing this way when we came."
"They probably knew they couldn't get out, so they ignored it," Mu Qianjin said.
"Let's go to the other side." The group moved to the black sphere, where they could more clearly feel the worms wriggling.
Moreover, some places would emit wisps of flame and some light, which confirmed that there were people inside, but these traces of magic would soon be swallowed up.
"What should we do? There's still an air barrier here, we can't get in." Jiang Shaoxu tried as well, but still couldn't get in.
"A space-type mage? But it doesn't quite seem like one," Mr. Wu murmured. "You guys step aside a bit, I'll try using some high-level magic."
Protected by light magic, Su Ming remained suspended in the air, unable to come down. He also told the others about his condition.
They didn't say anything about it, they were all busy consuming the insects outside, and they would die when their magic energy was exhausted, so who would have time to gossip?
Some people have already started to feel dizzy, which is a sign of their magic power failing. They must find a way to leave as soon as possible, but unfortunately, the only super-level mage, Ancestor Legend, is still asleep and shows no signs of waking up.
"Damn it, I finally managed to cultivate to the level of a high-level mage, am I just going to die here?! I'm not reconciled!!!" someone shouted in despair.
Su Ming also wanted to come down and help, since if one of them died, they would all die, but there was really no other way.
I seem to sense a familiar presence; perhaps it can help resolve our current predicament.
Xiaoqing had been searching for a solution without speaking, but now she suddenly shouted in Su Ming's mind.
"What's that aura? Is it outside? Can we make contact?" Su Ming asked hurriedly.
【I--】
Rumble—
Before Xiaoqing could finish speaking, the ground suddenly shook violently, causing many people to lose their footing and fall to the ground, and even their defensive magic almost broke down.
However, no one was disappointed, nor did anyone shout impatiently; their excited expressions revealed that everyone was very happy.
They sensed a strong aura of lightning magic; this power was not something a high-level spell could produce, it was definitely a super-level spell.
They all realized that there was a high-level mage outside.
"We're saved!!" someone shouted excitedly.
"Can you hear us, seniors outside? We're trapped! Please, seniors, save us! There are five of us, all high-level mages. We'll meet any conditions you have!" someone shouted.
The earth-shaking tremors lasted for a long time, which made them realize that there were definitely people outside, and that only lightning-type super-level magic could achieve this effect.
"There's a wall of air outside. Hold on for a bit, I'll try to break through it." A deep, old voice came from outside, which made everyone inside perk up.
"Alright, we've held on! Seniors are out there trying to find a solution. We can't afford to collapse during this time!" someone shouted excitedly.
The sound wasn't loud, as if part of it was blocked by the air barrier, but even a sound as faint as a mosquito's buzz was exhilarating.
A mid-level mage like Hanbing can leave their high-level mages helpless, but he absolutely cannot affect a super-level mage. The gap between the two is already on a completely different level, and it is impossible to stop him by relying on evil methods alone.
They were already fantasizing about how, after they left, they would use magic more cleanly and efficiently.
They were full of vigor and vitality, with not a trace of lifelessness in the room.
Everyone is waiting for the rescue from their seniors; there has never been a more exciting time than now.
