Escape from Danger

"Gugu, it's a pity. If my injuries weren't so severe, I might have been able to carry you away from City of Mozhsuobula in time."

"But now... you should run for your life as soon as possible."

"Go find those Holy Tower Magician; perhaps they can save you."

"I've seen some low-level and Entry-Level Apprentice being recruited by them before," Owl Qi said to Saine, flapping its wings.

It's clear that this Quasi-Level Magical Beast genuinely cares about Saine.

However, due to the excessive blood loss and weakened body, it was not enough to actually help Saine.

Looking at the increasingly intense torrential rain in the sky, I couldn't help but glance towards the City North.

Although he wasn't far from the City North at this moment, given his speed of advance and the speed at which City of Mozhsuobula would be destroyed...

That would almost certainly mean certain death.

After persuading Saine, Qi once again gushed blood from under her wing, her consciousness and spirit once more entering a dazed state, and her aura grew increasingly weak.

If the destruction of City of Mozhsuobula was a relatively fortunate outcome for Qi, it meant that he might not have to endure the agonizing pain of being burned alive.

Because it may have already died before that.

Completely desperate, Saine seemed to be asking, or perhaps talking to himself, "Is there really no way out?"

Perhaps having heard Saine's question, Qi, with only a wisp of consciousness left, answered in a weak voice, "If you have Level-1 Energy Crystal, I might be able to absorb it and temporarily suppress my injuries."

"But even for Formal Black Wizard, treasures of that caliber are extremely precious resources."

"How could you possibly have..." Qi replied weakly.

"Level-1 Energy Crystal?" Upon hearing this, Saine's spirits suddenly lifted.

"I don't have Level-1 Energy Crystal, but I have this!" A dazzling, fiery orange Energy Crystal suddenly appeared in Saine's hand.

The crystal was so dazzling that it made people squint.

Even Owl Qi, who was in a state of flux, felt the relatively abundant elemental energy in front of him.

The cloudy eyes regained their clarity.

Finally, a single word escaped his throat. "Gulp?"

"Whoosh!" At this moment, meteorites fell frequently and fire rained down on the City of Mozhsuobula.

A tiny, dark figure broke through the interplay of meteorites and fire rain, flying over the City North region of City of Mozhsuobula.

Having just consumed one-fifth of Level-2 Energy Crystal, Qi's injuries and aura have noticeably recovered.

However, Energy Crystal are not something that can be erected immediately.

It is a highly effective medicine that can restore all injuries.

Qi's current state is more like using the abundant Earth Elemental energy within the Energy Crystal to suppress her injuries and forcibly give herself a breather.

It may not seem like much in the short term, but if it drags on for a while, not only will the old injuries accumulated in Qi's body completely relapse, but even the Earth Elemental energy that it consumed will backfire and harm Qi.

The best course of action now is to find a safe place as soon as possible to rest and recuperate.

It's a pity that Saine only had Earth Elemental Energy Crystal. If it were Wind Element Energy Crystal, which were more suitable for Qi to absorb and use, perhaps Qi could have been reborn after this great battle and even become a higher -Level Magical Beast.

Level Magical Beast are powerful beings whose strength is comparable to that of Formal Magician.

"Are you sure there's a hidden passage to safety in the City North?" Qi asked, as she flew around, dodging dangerous objects falling from the sky, carrying the not-too-heavy Saine.

"That's what Lina wrote in the letter she left me, and I believe she wouldn't lie to me," Saine said confidently.

"Fine, you saved my life anyway, so go ahead and try it out," Qi said in human language, flapping its wings to increase its flight speed.

City of Mozhsuobula is empty on three sides, with only the City North connected to a towering stone wall.

Normally, with the collapse of the Fluorite Vein above and the outflow of the Magma Sea, they should have fled to the other three directions as soon as possible.

The Holy Tower Magician and Surface World Knight within the City of Mozhsuobula are now rapidly retreating in those three directions.

Only Saine and Qi did the opposite.

If there were no hidden passage in the City North as Saine described, their ultimate fate would still have been to perish in the flames and underground ruins.

As the crisis drew ever closer, Saine had already lingered over most of the area around the stone wall in the City North, still hadn't found any trace of a passage, and his heart was filled with anxiety.

Another massive rain of molten lava swept past.

Thanks to Qi's superb flying skills, Saine could even feel the scorching heat of the fire rain and the sulfurous smell it contained.

Suddenly, Saine sensed something in his arms and immediately pulled it out.

It was the black handle that his mentor Moxidu had given him.

Guided by the subtle clues provided by the grip, Saine pointed to a certain area on the lower diagonal side and said, "There!"

Qi quickly flew over with Saine.

The ruins before him did not discourage Saine; on the contrary, the prompts in his hand grew stronger, and Saine's emotions became excited.

The intermediate-level magic Flame Hand was quickly unleashed by Saine amidst the chanting, and even Qi, who was injured, let out a Wind Roar.

The interplay of wind Element Power transformed the ruins before them into...

clear.

After most of the rubble and stones were cleared away, a narrow passage, no more than two meters high, suddenly appeared before them.

"Grumble, there really is a passage." Qi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Let's go in quickly!" Saine urged.

As Saine and Seven enter the secret passage, and the city descends into chaos and destruction on the countdown.

In City of Mozhsuobula, there were actually two other people who had their eyes on Saine.

"Tch, are we late?"

"I was quite optimistic about this little guy," said the Silver Armor Knight Bakda, holding a spear in one hand and a spherical object in the other.

Against the backdrop of the surrounding firelight, the true nature of the spherical object was revealed: the head of the first-level Black Magician, Kaisersen.

His wide-open eyes marked the unfinished death of this Formal Black Wizard.

However, his head is now one of the Spoils of War of Bakda's underground expedition.

Upon returning to the Knights' Hall, one will naturally receive corresponding merits and rewards.

Standing alongside Bakda in front of the ruins of a stone building was the White Robe Magician Midiqi.

He walked to the vicinity of the stone building ruins, carefully examined several sections of the stone wall that had tilted and collapsed from the inside out, and slowly shook his head, saying, "Not necessarily, this little guy still has some ability."

The sound of "Boom!" rang out again.

At this moment, what was falling above City of Mozhsuobula was no longer fragments of fluorite ore and rain of molten lava.

Instead, the entire Magma Sea was gradually pouring down!

The very edge of the Magma Sea was already dripping from mid-air, and it looked like it was about to touch the city.

"We should go. Although your Elemental True Body and my Bloodline essence are not afraid of this magma in the short term, I have no interest in taking a bath in it."

"We should also make arrangements for those Underground Human outside the city as soon as possible. I wonder if we have enough airships this time?" the Silver Armor Knight urged.

"That should be enough. Dawn Holy Tower has responded to my report."

"The Tower Master seems quite interested in that Level-4 lifeform hidden in the Yellow Sand World."

"It's a pity I have to go back to report for duty first; another group of people will be arriving then. Battles between creatures of level four and above... I'm quite interested in that too."

"Let's go!" the White Robe Magician said, picking up his Magic Staff.
