Before their eyes, a tornado a hundred meters thick had formed at some unknown time, howling and slowly approaching the Mountain of Bones like a Teleport pillar of heaven. It twisted and turned its ferocious body, and white mist poured into the hurricane pillar continuously, making the diameter of the wind pillar grow larger and larger, slowly enveloping the entire Mountain of Bones.
An immense and irresistible suction force arose from the towering vortex of wind.
Huge blocks of ice were constantly being thrown up from the three frigid abysses. The chill was so palpable that even though Sun Fei had retreated to the center of the mysterious space, he could still feel the cold air piercing his face like steel needles. The cold was beyond his comprehension. If he hadn't been fully activating his Sun Fei's fire magic, he would probably have been frozen into a zombie by now. At the same time, large amounts of hot air were gushing out from the dense, spiderweb-like cracks in the ground. The orange-yellow [ Earthcore Flame ] also appeared and disappeared intermittently, radiating terrifying heat. Even the stone ground seemed to be softening and melting.
These two completely opposite extreme forces clashed in a life-or-death struggle within the mysterious space.
The collision of heat and cold has evolved into a series of meteorological wonders.
Sun Fei should have immediately opened the Teleport to leave this place, which had become extremely violent and dangerous. However, deep inside, a voice from somewhere seemed to be calling to him: Stay, stay and you will gain something beyond your imagination...
It was an extremely strange feeling, faint yet present, like the call of a blood relative.
Sun Fei wasn't the kind of person who would recklessly risk his life for a benefit; on the contrary, he was usually very cautious. However, at this moment, for some reason, he was determined to stay. He took out a rope from his spatial storage and tied himself tightly to the thickest and sturdiest stone pillar not far from the Mountain of Bones. He gripped the pillar tightly to prevent himself from being sucked into the increasingly larger and more terrifying hurricane pillar in the distance. At the same time, he frantically circulated his magical power to resist the alternating attacks of the ever-changing abyssal cold and the heat from the underground crevices.
This is an extremely painful process.
Despite being protected by the seventh-tier green armor set, [ Arcanna's Tricks ], the abyssal chill and the fissure heat were far from simple energies. They easily penetrated the armor set and entered Sun Fei's body. This agonizing torment was almost unbearable for a human, much like the feeling of being tempered by the [ Hulk Potion ]—one moment Sun Fei body was frozen solid, the next it was half-cooked. However, Sun Fei could clearly feel that under the alternating destruction and transformation of these two diametrically opposed energies of extreme cold and extreme heat, his strength seemed to be slowly increasing. This was different from leveling up by killing monsters in the Diablo World, where every cell in his body was undergoing instantaneous destruction and Revive, with impurities constantly being destroyed and eliminated by the cold and heat...
Surprisingly, Sun Fei remained clear-headed throughout the ordeal. He stared intently at the Bone Mountain, now completely shrouded in the hurricane, because the magical call he had heard earlier had originated from there.
At this moment, the dark abyss was still spewing ice and cold air even more frantically, while the cracks in the rocks on the ground were also emitting heat. The collision of these two completely opposite energies continuously produced thick white fog and violent air currents. Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the space inside the mountain, and meteorological wonders appeared one after another, forming a micro-cycle of harsh climate.
The diameter of the hurricane's wind column grew larger and larger, eventually completely enveloping the Mountain of Bones. As the hurricane's tearing power increased, the Mountain of Bones emitted a cracking sound, and huge bones were torn out by the wind, spinning wildly with the wind column.
Gradually, more and more skeletons were torn apart by the Whirlwind and began to spin violently in the air.
Sun Fei discovered a very strange phenomenon. For some reason, since its formation, the hurricane, no matter how it changed, always swirled in the very center of this mysterious mountain space—that is, on the Mountain of Bones—never leaving even an inch. As the wind grew stronger, the entire Mountain of Bones was eventually swept up, and the white bones danced in the wind like rice husks, firmly sucked into the sky at the very center.
This is the source of that terrifying suction force when we first stepped into the passageway after entering the iron gate.
For nearly twenty days, Sun Fei had been pondering the source of that terrifying suction force. Now the truth was revealed: it was caused by the hurricane-like meteorological phenomenon resulting from the alternation of hot and cold temperatures. This hurricane clearly surpassed any level of wind force that Sun Fei knew in his previous life, so it was not surprising that it produced such a terrifying suction force.
As the entire Mountain of Bones was torn apart and hurled into the sky by the hurricane, Sun Fei saw what lay beneath it.
It appeared to be a pile of bone fragments ground into powder, exposed after the intact skeleton under negative pressure was lifted into the sky. However, because the powdered bone fragments were so light, they were also blown into the sky almost instantly.
At this moment, Sun Fei's eyes widened, an expression of disbelief flashing in them.
Because he saw a complete magic array appear beneath the powder and bone fragments. It was a magic array that was still in operation, releasing five-colored light, tearing through the void, and forming a deep blue Teleport. This Teleport was extremely similar to the Teleport in the Diablo World. It was an oval blue ball of light more than two meters high, with a faint deep blue luster like flowing water, just like a solidified amber.
At that moment, the call from a blood-related kinship grew stronger and stronger.
Sun Fei was now completely certain that this friendly exchange originated from the deep blue Teleport he had obtained.
What is it behind the door that is Summon to me?
Almost instantly, Sun Fei felt an overwhelming urge to break free of the cables binding him and rush into the Teleport to see what was happening. However, at the critical moment, his last shred of reason allowed him to restrain himself. Without a doubt, breaking free now would mean being swept into the terrifying Whirlwind and instantly shredded into mincemeat by the rapidly spinning, sparking ' Demon Remains' —sharp enough to rival divine weapons. He would have no chance of reaching the relatively calm eye of the hurricane and getting close to the magical Teleport.
We have to think of another way.
Sun Fei forced himself to calm down.
Two or three hours later, the speed at which cold air and ice blocks spewed from the frigid abyss slowed down, and the heat energy emanating from the cracks in the rocks on the ground gradually subsided. The direct consequence of the weakening of these two forces was that the violent air convection began to slow down, the torrential rain overhead gradually subsided, the lightning and thunder disappeared, and the hurricane-force winds in front of Sun Fei began to weaken.
Then, just as Sun Fei had predicted, all the changes came one after another.
As the hurricane weakened, the enormous skeletons that had been torn apart and swirled in the air began to fall to the ground. The largest and heaviest skeletons fell first, crashing onto the magic array and Teleport below, but without causing any damage. As the wind subsided, more and more skeletons fell and piled up, and a new mountain of bones was reforming. The hurricane was like a pair of nimble giant hands, placing each bone in the most suitable position, with the diameter decreasing as it went up, until finally forming the peak of the mountain of bones.
Then the flying bone fragments fell down and scattered across the mountain of bones.
Although the hurricane weakened, it continued to compress and shake the new mountain of bones. Bone fragments and powder, in this shaking, eventually 'sedied' and disappeared at the very bottom of the mountain of bones through tiny gaps... Finally, the hurricane disappeared, and all the bones were compressed tightly and joined together, and the new mountain of bones was finally formed.
Sun Fei was dumbfounded.
uncanny workmanship!
This is truly a masterpiece of nature!
So this is the origin of the tower-shaped mountain of bones. It seems that every twenty days, the cold abyss and the fiery springs in the rock crevices erupt, creating a mysterious meteorological spectacle within the mountain's interior, and at the same time reshaping the mountain of bones. This explains why, when Sun Fei first discovered the mountain of bones, it was spotless, as if it had just been built, leading Sun Fei to believe that some unseen creature was secretly constructing such a sinister and terrifying mountain of bones.
Remembering the magical array and Teleport that had been imprisoned beneath the mountain of bones, Sun Fei attempted to dig a passage through the bone mountain to enter, but it was far too difficult, almost impossible. The ' Demon Remains ' were densely intertwined, and he could only barely pull out a few from the surface. Moreover, they were incredibly hard, and even Sharp Sword could not break through them.
"It seems I'll have to think about it more carefully later!"
After trying for a while, Sun Fei decided to give up. Perhaps when he became truly powerful, he could withstand the force of the hurricane, or even break through the Mountain of Bones and enter the Teleport. But for now, it was clearly impossible!
Sun Fei also benefited greatly from this meteorological spectacle. His physical body was tempered by the contrasting extreme cold and heat energies of the abyss's cold air and the hot air from the rock crevices, increasing its strength by at least 100%. Originally, Sun Fei's physique was already very special, and even taking the [ Hulk Potion ] had little effect, but unexpectedly, it was enhanced again under these conditions.
For Sun Fei, the increase in strength has immense benefits.
This means that the power of the seven classes in the Diablo World can be more fully unleashed.
Sun Fei returned to the Diablo World to recuperate.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed. During these ten days, Sun Fei repeated the same things as before: killing monsters to level up, using the flow of assassin's True Qi to open up Dou Qi channels to create secret manuals, helping Charsi design and craft equipment, and learning various magical knowledge from Sister Akara and the lecherous old man Cain...
A month has passed, and he must leave the pass and return to Chambord City!
