Chapter 238 : Chapter 238

Chapter 238: No matter what, it's the witches' fault.

“What is that?”

At this moment in the sea domain, because the sea domain had gained the Fallen Land out of thin air, although this wasn't a feat accomplished by the Sea Race, it could be barely considered an achievement done through the Sea Race's means.

Even the Sea Race did not expect that the group of witches from the Witch Academy, in order to help them complete the ritual to obtain the Sea's Marvelous Crown, would actually go as far as to submerge the Fallen Land!

This was simply insane, but regardless of whose hand completed it, in short, this piece of land, the Fallen Land, was now tacitly owned by the Sea Race.

Besides the Sea Race, they did not believe any other academy had more of an advantage in the sea domain than they did.

And under such circumstances, the Sea Race naturally couldn't just stay in the sea domain and be idle fish.

The sea domain was their home base, and in the current stage, in their perception, there was nothing that could threaten this place, so they rightfully stepped onto the land.

And… they once again made contact with the Elves and the Beast Academy.

The initial contact, naturally, was to “denounce” them for Yvette's death.

At this moment, the Elves and the Beast Academy were still busy with the great fire, and it could be said that they were truly in a terrible fix, especially since their own World Tree had been broken and set ablaze.

The cost of extinguishing the burning World Tree was much higher than stopping the forest fire, but the Aphrodite Elves had no choice but to do so.

After the initial contact, the relationship between the Sea Race and the Elves emerged from the misunderstanding.

But cooperation was still slightly difficult.

And at this moment, the Fish-persons near the sea domain of the Fallen Land discovered the abnormality in the sea and immediately prepared to go back and report it.

The filthy seawater spreading from the Fallen Land was like mud, emitting an indescribable stench to them, the Sea Race.

Upon entering that stretch of sea, even the blessings provided by the great sea to the Sea Race were ineffective.

Even after entering this body of water, their movements became sluggish, as if every wisp of water was rejecting them.

And such a sea domain was still spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye!

If left unchecked, then at this speed, it would only be a matter of time before the entire sea domain was “polluted.”

The source of all this was from the Fallen Land, and this piece of news needed to be delivered as soon as possible.

And this news was indeed quickly relayed back to the Sea Race Academy, but as the team leader, Enala had already left the sea domain at this moment.

The temporary team leader also had a headache after receiving this news, but no matter what, they needed to personally go and confirm it.

And at this moment, after meeting up with the dwarves, we also began our official joint advance.

Facing the people from the other academies, it could be said that we were completely unstoppable, but soon we also encountered a huge problem, which was that the War Fortress could greatly save magic power and allow everyone to traverse the Ancient Battlefield region, but such a huge existence would also attract many Phantoms of the Past.

When the number of these things increased, it created a terrifying effect.

In addition, the War Fortress had been damaged by the witches before, and under excessive use, the War Fortress finally broke down.

“Damn it, is the power system broken again? I said we shouldn't have used the boiling water method!”

“If not boiling water, then what! Use your brain instead?”

“I think we should have used tracks to replace this complex forward structure in the first place.”

“Stop arguing! You argue over every little problem, are you trying to be a joke for the Witch Academy?”

At this moment, Ai Ke also stood up, and this roar directly silenced a group of dwarf boys.

“I'll go check it, two people come with me to take a look.”

“Ai Ke, is there a problem?”

At this moment, Minian also walked in and asked.

Her lively personality got along well with the dwarves.

“Yeah, it'll be fine after a check-up, it's nothing.”

“You have to go outside for the check-up? It's all Phantoms of the Past and terrifying sandstorms outside now, I'll go with you.”

“Okay, thank you for your trouble.”

Ai Ke did not refuse, because now was not the time to be stubborn.

When help was needed, one shouldn't be soft-hearted.

After all, the Dwarf Academy and the Witch Academy were now grasshoppers on the same boat.

Even they were shocked by the witches' so-called map-clearing plan, but since they were also participating in it, they naturally had to contribute to it!

“I'll go get a few more people…”

“I'll go too.”

At this moment, I pushed open the door and poked my head in, speaking to them.

Although the War Fortress was advancing steadily, it was still a bit slow for me.

Our speed of advance was even slower than the speed of the erosion's advance.

Of course, all of this was like a domino effect.

When we tried to use this method, this threat would also devour us along with it.

“Big Sis Xiao Han! With Big Sis Xiao Han, it will be much safer!”

Minian immediately became excited when she saw me come in.

“I'm battle support in the first place. I haven't done anything for so long, I'm afraid people will start talking.”

I pushed open the outer door of the War Fortress and was immediately greeted with a face full of sand.

“Big Sis Xiao Han is so amazing, no one will say anything about you.”

But I didn't respond to Minian's words at this moment.

The situation outside was a bit tricky.

If I wanted these dwarves to have a safe space for their so-called check-up, I had to at least ensure that they wouldn't be disturbed by the sand.

And I immediately constructed a super-large energy shield.

“The sandstorm has stop… okay… spells are really amazing, I would have applied to the Witch Academy if I knew.”

Ai Ke was the first to crawl out at this time, carrying her precious tools and preparing to go for the check-up, “Um… your name is Yang Yuehan, right? I heard them call you Big Sis Xiao Han, can I call you that too?”

“No problem.”

“Okay then, anyway, thanks for your help.”

Ai Ke didn't waste any words, because she knew that there were more important things at the moment, and there was no time for her to waste on words.

And my gaze at this moment also looked at the Phantoms of the Past in the distance.

They were suppressed by the firepower of the War Fortress, but now that the War Fortress had stopped, this firepower was a bit insufficient.

And after the alliance, we also roughly learned about their inventory.

This thing was completely consuming the underground warehouse of the original Forged Ancient City Ruins, and it was not infinite.

And this was when I needed to do the cleaning.

At this moment, I thought of the one-way, all-around protective shield of the Wizard Tower back then.

If I had that, I wouldn't have to go outside the shield.

But even so, I also didn't need to go outside, as long as the spell effect was outside.

For example, the Floating Spell, this was where the advantage of having diverse methods was demonstrated.

“Little Han.”

“Hm?”

I turned my head and found that the one who came out next was not Minian, but Tan Han, followed by Minian.

“What's the matter?”

“This big guy has stopped now, and Ai Ke can't guarantee how long it will take to fix it, but we can't afford to waste this time.”

“You want to take people over to continue clearing the map?”

I continued Tan Han's words and asked.

“Yes, I do have this intention, I just came to ask for your opinion.”

“What opinion can I have? Of course, we should do whatever is best.”

I shrugged and said, not knowing what purpose Tan Han had in deliberately running over to tell me this.

“If I take them to continue clearing the map, you saw what happened before, we encountered great resistance from the other academies, so if I go, then the score…”

“Surpass me? Then surpass me, you think I care about this?”

I turned my head away and no longer faced this question.

This was a very serious trade-off, concerning benefits.

If she continued to hesitate and dither, then I would also change my attitude.

“Thank you, but I will maintain a certain balance. I will take those few with not many points with me. If nothing unexpected happens, at the final moment, I would like to have another match with you. After that time… I wasn't satisfied.”

“As you wish.”

I can only say that I was very satisfied with Tan Han's answer.

As expected, Tan Han really knows how to conduct herself.

However, the so-called 'that time' she mentioned referred to the time she fainted in the Dream State, but that long battle was not publicly disclosed.

So when they heard Tan Han say this, everyone thought Tan Han was referring to the first match of the competition.

For most people, that was a regret, but for Tan Han to bring it up at this moment, it also fulfilled the unwillingness of the senior sisters in the audience, and it also represented Tan Han's absolute confidence in this exchange competition!

If at this moment, Tan Han still didn't have such absolute confidence, then that would be what's wrong.

At this moment, here at the Aphrodite World Tree.

After learning the truth of the relevant matters, their goal also collectively turned to the witches.

Since they had a common enemy, their so-called interests also became aligned.

Whether it was Yvette's death or something else, misunderstandings that were not conducive to cooperation needed to be resolved.

“What did you say? The witches are starting to make big moves again?”

After obtaining the intelligence, Mona, the team leader of Aphrodite Academy, immediately felt uneasy.

According to the intelligence actively provided by the contestants who were revived in other places in the forest, the Witch Academy was making big moves again.

The Witch Academy had officially joined forces with the Dwarf Academy, driving a huge mobile fortress out of the Ancient Battlefield, and began to carry out indiscriminate clearing with a large group of Phantoms of the Past behind them.

And the places where that super-large mobile fortress passed turned into an Ancient Battlefield, and this was the result of the witches' conscious guidance, in order to shrink the current competition space of the exchange competition.

Although the Elf did not believe that the witches had the means to control the erosion of the Ancient Battlefield, she soon thought of the hidden rules of the ritual.

The Sea Race had the ability to launch a tsunami on the land, so what about the witches?

But she quickly denied it.

Not necessarily, if the Witch Academy had this kind of means, it would be impossible for them to drag it out until now.

According to her impression of those lunatics from the Witch Academy, they would have definitely done it from the very beginning.

Perhaps they had discovered other hidden rules, but this intelligence was still doubtful, but it was certain that the Witch Academy was making big moves.

But just guessing would lead to no results.

She had to cooperate further with the Sea Race.

The fire in the forest was already at their doorstep, and they could not sit back and wait for death.

No matter what method was used, rain, water-type spells, as long as the fire was brought down.

Even if it meant cutting off an arm to survive, using a tsunami to submerge that forest, it was not impossible at a critical moment, but doing so would really affect their living environment.

But if they sacrificed the forest of the Beast Academy, it wasn't unacceptable either.

After all, the relationship between the Elves and the Beast Academy was not absolutely solid.

If the Beast Academy was given a chance, they would also sell out the Elves without hesitation.

And just as the Elves were about to have an in-depth discussion with the Sea Race representative, Enala, the strange phenomenon in the distance suddenly caught their attention.

Even the natural disasters and strange phenomena of the Central Ancient Battlefield could not cover up that sky-obscuring cloud of smoke.

“It's volcanic ash, that should be the Dragon Blood Nest, right? I heard it's full of active volcanoes,” Enala said.

“Yes, an active volcano wouldn't erupt for no reason like this, and on such a large scale. It's probably the witches' doing too,” Mona said in a low voice.

“These witches are really… they've turned a perfectly good exchange competition into this.”

“Now that all the students from Holy Angel Academy have been eliminated, and I heard that the Wizard Academy's Wizard Tower was destroyed, I think there's really a need for us to cooperate. Otherwise, if the Witch Academy comes with overwhelming momentum, none of us can play with them alone.”

“Your intelligence is quite sharp.”

“It's just something I got out of the mouths of those resurrected guys.”

At this time, here at the Dragon Blood Nest, in order to drive out the resistance of the contestants from other academies in this area, Tan Han led a group of witches to directly detonate the active volcano cluster here.

This was originally a lava zone, and after being subjected to external pressure, the eruption was actually not far off.

Under Tan Han's deliberate guidance, the flowing lava was no longer the focus.

The sense of deterrence brought by the volcanic ash filling the sky would bring a more intimidating threat than the behemoth that was the War Fortress.

The volcanic ash from an active volcano eruption in the world could bury a town, and at this moment, the erupting volcano on the exchange competition map could personally bury this Dragon Blood Nest and active volcano zone.

The scorching lava here and those gold and silver treasures would be buried along with it.

The decorative gold coins and treasures that the Dragon Blood Nest had fought for at the Dragon Blood Nest became a joke at this moment, as everything was covered by a thick layer of volcanic ash.

When there were no more obstacles here, the Phantoms of the Past from the Ancient Battlefield would not be polite to it.

“Time to go, let's go to the next area,” Tan Han said to them while supporting a shield.

Time passed bit by bit, and the behemoth in the Ancient Battlefield was still not repaired.

This was within my expectations, and I also felt that Tan Han's decisive departure before was the right choice.

It was getting late, the sun was already setting in the west, and the second day of the exchange competition was about to pass.

Although I had been maintaining the shield and cleaning up the Phantoms of the Past, the consumption was actually not very large.

And there were others here helping me and providing recovery potions.

Of course, they also had their own little thoughts, for example, Minian, who talked the most.

They would ask me for tips on using the spellbook.

Even though they had experienced many battles, it didn't mean they had completely mastered the use of the spellbook.

They didn't have such terrifying Spirit Vision and could only grope their way forward slowly.

Although I couldn't teach them how to mod spellbooks, there were many other usage techniques for spellbooks, such as fast casting, multi-casting, how to use it to shorten the interval for the next use as quickly as possible, when to release it to achieve peak power, and so on.

These were things that others needed to try and compare repeatedly, spending a huge amount of time and experience on, but what I saw through my Spirit Vision could directly get to the most fundamental problem.

And the guidance I provided was actually the same as that of the Witch Academy's practical combat teachers.

The Transcendent Witch teachers also used their transcendent-level foundation to help students quickly master the use of the spellbook.

Today was another day of not eating much, just drinking some water and eating some compressed biscuits I found to fill my stomach, and that was it.

Now I'm starting to miss yesterday's cat rice.

I wonder if Yu Mengrui and the other little cat girls are okay in the forest.

I hope the fire doesn't affect them.

I should think about other things for now.

I wonder if Tan Han will come back.

The environment inside the Ancient Battlefield destined that the visibility would not be high, and the situation outside could not be obtained.

“Ai Ke? You're up? Is it fixed?”

I turned around and saw Ai Ke climbing up, and asked with some surprise.

“Almost, because there were no parts to replace, we made one on the spot. It took a lot of time. I'm not good at physical labor, so it should be about done when they're finished.”

Ai Ke wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the sun that was about to set.

“Sorry, for delaying for so long because of this. It's almost night, and the environment at night will be even worse…”

“It's nothing, a rare break.”

“Uh… can fighting with Phantoms of the Past all the time be considered a break?”

Ai Ke asked.

“Simple and repetitive consumption of magic power is already a break compared to my previous experiences. Go in quickly, it's still quite dangerous outside.”

“Okay, then I won't be pretentious. When those guys come up, let's all go in together.”

I looked at the final sunset.

Today would probably end like this, right?

I could sleep inside this big guy at night, which was better than sleeping in the wild.

It was already this time, so there shouldn't be any accidents like at the Blood Pool Ancient Castle and the Flying Floating Island.

And at this moment, Enala, who was discussing further cooperation plans with the Elves, couldn't sit still.

Because while she was having a good talk here, she suddenly saw a Fish-person running over.

Because the news that the Elves had reached a cooperation with the Sea Race had already spread, no one would attack this Fish-person who suddenly ran here for no reason.

But he brought a piece of news that greatly shocked Enala and all the Elves.

An inexplicable pollution had appeared in the sea area of the Fallen Land.

The temporary team leader led a team to investigate and found a large number of undead-like existences at the bottom of the sea.

It was suspected that there were still hidden rules triggered in the Fallen Land, which led to the erosion of the sea area.

And the scope of this impact was still expanding without any sign of stopping.

“Damn it, I knew those witches couldn't be so kind as to help us… I didn't expect them to be waiting for us here!”

“Pollution of the Fallen Land's sea domain?”

The Elves were also very surprised.

If the Sea Race was also in trouble now, even if they were tied down by trivial matters, what about their cooperation?

And this was also done by the Witch Academy?

Did those damned witches even calculate this?
