Chapter 385

The dizziness of cross-plane teleportation had not yet completely subsided, and Jie Ming and Wei Aola's feet had just touched the ground, not even having time to see the surrounding environment clearly, when a foul wind mixed with a piercing whistle smashed down toward their heads!

"Hmm?!"

"Careful!"

Both of them are veterans of many battles, calm despite the surprise.

Almost at the same moment they sensed danger, Jie Ming pointed like a sword, and a condensed spatial distortion force field pushed upward like an invisible barrier.

And Wei Aola was faster; she didn't even look up, just waved upward casually, and a shockwave containing her unique law power arrived first!

BOOM!!

A giant meteorite with a diameter of over five meters, wrapped in scorching flames and earth elements, was hit by these two forces simultaneously less than ten meters above their heads, instantly bursting into countless scattered gravel and sparks, like a short meteor shower.

Only then did the two have a chance to observe their surroundings.

They found themselves inside a building similar to a laboratory or observation station, but the dome of the building had been smashed into a hideous big hole.

Through the hole, they could see that the sky outside was not the peaceful and serene sky they had expected, but a chaotic battlefield where various energy beams were intertwined and explosion firelight flashed frequently.

Fortunately, the defensive magic array engraved around the laboratory seemed to be still stubbornly operating, emitting a stable energy halo.

That meteorite just now, even if they hadn't reacted, would probably have been deflected or blocked by this layer of defensive force field.

"What the hell is going on?!" Wei Aola's willow eyebrows stood up, and after looking at Jie Ming, the two flashed their figures simultaneously, flew out from the hole in the dome, and hovered in mid-air.

After coming out, the scene before them made both of them stunned.

Not far away, a ball of light that was constantly changing between crimson, azure, and earth yellow, emitting violent elemental fluctuations, was fighting fiercely with a giant monster flower twisted and intertwined by countless thick vines, blooming with mental pollution ripples at the top.

The ball of light sprayed lava rays and frost storms, while the monster flower waved thorny vine whips and constantly sprayed spore clouds capable of corroding energy shields.

The aftermath of their battle plowed the surrounding ground into a mess.

And this was just a tiny microcosm of the grand battlefield.

Jie Ming subconsciously unfolded the "Reconnaissance Eye" and various reconnaissance wizardry, and his field of vision expanded rapidly.

Within his perception range, this continent they were on seemed to have fallen into an all-out war!

One side of the battle was light-state creatures composed of pure elemental energy, and the other side was strange and varied living plants that seemed to have been endowed with crazy vitality.

Energy light cannons and explosive spores bombarded each other, and the strange sounds of elemental wailing and plant snapping intertwined, forming a chaotic and cruel symphony.

The appearance of Jie Ming and Wei Aola, these two "uninvited guests," was like dripping cold water into a boiling oil pan, instantly attracting the attention of many "residents" on the nearby battlefield.

Immediately, several "Flame Walkers" composed of flickering firelight and several "Howling Venus Flytraps" with sharp teeth and waving thorns turned their directions simultaneously, emitting meaningless mental fluctuations and electromagnetic radiation, and rushed toward them!

Although they couldn't understand their specific language, through mental perception, Jie Ming clearly captured the meaning conveyed by both sides:

【Light Elemental Creatures】: "Quick! Beat those two ugly, asymmetrical flesh monsters to death!"

【Living Plants】: "Monsters! These two flesh monsters without roots, without branches and leaves, and with monotonous colors are so ugly! Purify them!"

Jie Ming's mouth twitched slightly; he was still calm about this kind of "insult" based on racial aesthetics.

But Wei Aola beside him, after clearly receiving the mental meaning of words like "ugly" and "monster," turned red with anger, and her silver-gray long hair seemed to want to move without wind!

"You... said who is ugly?!"

It is said that a girl's blushing wins over everything; Jie Ming didn't even need to make a move, and Wei Aola, in her rage, grabbed into the air toward the creatures rushing over!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no gorgeous elemental light.

But those Flame Walkers and Howling Venus Flytraps rushing over roaring froze instantly!

Immediately after, they let out "screams" far more miserable and painful than during the battle!

The flames on the Flame Walkers flickered uncertainly, their forms twisted and collapsed, emitting piercing electromagnetic shrieks.

The vines of the Howling Venus Flytraps twitched frantically, their sharp teeth opened and closed, exuding extremely painful mental ripples.

What was even more terrifying was that this pain seemed to be contagious!

Further away, some other elemental creatures and living plants that originally intended to support their companions also fell from the sky or went limp on the ground without warning, joining this silent yet incomparably miserable painful wailing meeting!

For a time, the frontal battle in this area actually stalled eerily.

The elemental creatures and living plants that still had the ability to act, as if they had seen some extremely terrifying existence, shouted frantically with mental waves.

【Light Elemental Creatures】: "Careful! It's an ugly flesh monster that can spread invisible pain! Quick, go back and report to the elders!"

【Living Plants】: "Terrible! The ugly monster will make us tie ourselves into knots! Run! Go find the Mother of the Forest!"

They retreated in panic, like a tide, leaving this area, which was temporarily filled only with "pain," to Jie Ming and Wei Aola.

Jie Ming raised his hand to release several Black Giant Priests, pointed at those strange creatures that were constantly twitching on the ground and whose forms were on the verge of collapse, signaling them to control and collect them, preparing to search their souls for information later.

After doing all this, he turned to look at Wei Aola, who was still angry, his tone carrying a trace of weirdness: "Senior sister Wei Aola, your friend... is the maintenance of the 'ecological environment' here usually this unique?"

Wei Aola was also full of confusion and innocence at this time, shaking her head vigorously: "Not me! When I came last time, Xingzhui's 'Hundred Flower Garden' was clearly a very beautiful and harmonious place! There were glowing gentle mushrooms and singing flowers everywhere, and cute little spirits! It was not this ghost look of the end of the world at all!"

Jie Ming began to seriously suspect: "Senior sister, are you sure you didn't enter the wrong teleportation coordinate? Did we accidentally break into some strange plane that is currently at war?"

"How could I enter the wrong one!" Wei Aola jumped with anger, subconsciously slashing a hand knife at Jie Ming's head, making a "thump" muffled sound.

Subsequently, she also held her hand and gasped—Jie Ming's head, which had been tempered through a hundred battles, had a hardness comparable to high-tier magic metal.

Looking at Wei Aola's reaction, Jie Ming rubbed the top of his head, which he didn't feel at all, and scratched his head in confusion.

It seems the coordinates are correct; this is indeed the plane of Wei Aola's friend.

But this scene...

"Could it be that an invading army from another plane has launched an invasion?" Jie Ming guessed.

As this thought flashed through his mind, even he couldn't help but gasp "hiss," and a look of undisguised brilliance instantly erupted in his eyes!

Invasion?

For a wizard who owns a private plane, this... how is this different from walking on the road and having military merit and rare materials and research samples fall from the sky?!

It's simply a gluttonous feast!

However, Jie Ming also knew that the probability of such a good thing as "pie falling from the sky" was too low.

The top priority is to figure out what happened here.

As long as the Black Giant Priests are brought back, the souls are searched, and everything will come to light.

However, before the Black Giant Priests returned, Jie Ming and Wei Aola sensed a powerful life aura rushing into their alert range at high speed almost at the same time!

Both of them immediately became alert, energy condensing secretly.

But soon, they relaxed again.

Because although that aura was powerful, it was not any of the chaotic creatures sensed before; its energy structure was stable and orderly, carrying clear wizard characteristics.

Moreover, Jie Ming felt that this energy structure... vaguely had a trace of familiarity?

The next moment, a fierce red light lit up in the sky, like a meteor falling to the ground!

The red light approached rapidly, revealing its true body—a powerful elemental spirit composed entirely of pure fire elements, with a body that carried a few characteristics of a Western dragon!

It exuded heart-palpitating high temperatures, and wherever it passed, the moisture in the air was evaporated.

This flame dragon elemental spirit landed with a bang, shaking the ground slightly.

But after it landed, its massive body contracted and solidified rapidly, turning into a small dragon form, like a delicate red gem, floating in mid-air obediently in the blink of an eye.

And the figure that had been protected in the core position of the elemental body also clearly appeared.

That was a petite girl with smooth silver hair like moonlight and clear azure eyes like high mountain lakes.

Her power contained a powerful affinity for life and nature.

Several small spirits or elemental spirits of various shapes, flickering with soft light, were flying and circling around her like loyal guards and partners, forming a sharp contrast with the broken scene of war everywhere.

Seeing this familiar face, Jie Ming blurted out subconsciously:

"Anya?"

The person who came was exactly Anya Xingzhui—one of the super geniuses with Tier 10 talent whom he had met a few times during the elite trial of the Nuolun workshop years ago!

A girl who is good at summoning and driving elemental spirits and magical beasts, and has perception and understanding of life and soul that exceed ordinary people.

Wei Aola also leaned over from the side, looking at Jie Ming and then at Anya, surprised: "Eh? Do you two know each other?"

Jie Ming nodded: "Met a few times during the graduation trial."

Subsequently, he looked at Anya even more suspiciously: "However, Wizard Anya, why are you here?"

Wei Aola patted Jie Ming on the shoulder, her tone carrying a trace of emotion that "the world is really small": "No need to guess, let me introduce. Anya, is exactly the direct descendant of that friend of mine, and also her most important assistant and student now."
