Chapter 869: High-Level Existence, Arcane Crystal Polymer

While Xia Duo continuously issued instructions to concentrate manpower to attack the Mythallar Nodes, streams of consciousness like echoes reverberated within the Mind Link.

Besides Xia Duo, there were also those who had just participated in killing the Elf Mages; at this moment, they were all more or less excited, and along with their active conscious messages, there were various emotions leaking out unconsciously.

——No way! We just killed twelve Elf Mages!

——The ashes are still there, why don't you go back and take a look!

——I didn't expect it would be so easy to kill them!

——Easy? If the Elves hadn't had some mishap just now, we might still be entangled with them!

——I wonder what the situation will be next?

……

Xia Duo himself was not affected by these emotions, but he was worried that others might become slack.

In the absence of being able to "mute" them, he filled the minds of those linked with more precise and intensive instructions, forcing them not to let their thoughts wander.

The Mythallar Node where Niya was located.

The moment Huaiyate and the others arrived, the two Elf Mages guarding the node realized that defense no longer had any meaning.

Previously, they had already been in a state of struggling to hold on, and now with another human support team, the hope of holding out was even more remote.

"Retreat!"

But Xia Duo had long anticipated the actions of these Elves, and a series of instructions were issued immediately.

Previously, more than twenty teams had been attacking the Mythallar Nodes; on the surface, it was to contain the Elf Mages guarding the nodes, and in fact, it was, but there was actually another very critical purpose.

That was to probe and detect the state of the Magic Net near the Mythallar Nodes, thereby finding countermeasures.

If it were a complete Mythallar, even if one could find anomalies, it would be difficult to find countermeasures; after all, a Mythallar is at least a self-consistent system, and if one does not know the Principles, it is very difficult to invade or even destroy it.

But now, the Mythallar was not complete, it was merely several Mythallar Nodes; perhaps there were some special aspects, but in the end, it could not compare to a real Mythallar.

It was like electronic products on Earth, with wires and circuits exposed; perhaps it was still difficult to know the secrets within, but wanting to destroy it was just a matter of a casual pull.

Of course, in the world of Magic, an incomplete Mythallar Node was not just easy to destroy; the Magic Net environment it altered was also not impregnable.

At least after Xia Duo integrated the Magic Net state information around more than twenty Mythallar Nodes, it was easy to find the anomaly points, including the differences between them and the normal Magic Net environment.

And now, making targeted adjustments was not just empty talk.

If someone could investigate all the Mythallar Nodes like him, they could also reach the same conclusion, it was just that the time required would be different.

Xia Duo had already discovered the greatest benefit of the Mind Link; although this might not be accepted by most Mages, he was indeed using this point now.

That was to gather the Wisdom of all those linked.

Although only a portion of the Subconscious could think collaboratively, compared to any single individual in the link, it was far more powerful!

If it weren't for the fact that wills could not be integrated into one, perhaps it really would be a super Spellcaster.

On Earth, there were also concepts similar to hive consciousness and gestalt, that is, multiple individuals converging into an existence with a higher perspective and higher Wisdom.

Today, Xia Duo had such a feeling; he seemed to have become a high-level existence abstractly formed by more than a hundred Advanced Rank Mages, and if he could, he really didn't want to give up this state.

It was just that he also knew that even if others were in the Mind Link at this moment, they might not be sincere about it; they were just forced by the situation to accept it.

However, in the Tower of Time, in his Territory, it might not be impossible to reproduce the current state; relying on the extraordinary thinking of collaborative thought in the link at this time, Xia Duo already had some plans vaguely in his heart.

……

The two Elf Mages preparing to flee obviously did not expect that someone could discern the changes the Mythallar Nodes made to the surrounding Magic Net environment so quickly.

Once the heart to flee was born, there was no longer any heart to dare to fight; at this time, even without the support of Huaiyate and the others, Niya's team alone was enough to take down this Mythallar Node.

The arrival of Huaiyate and the others only further sealed the final fate of these two Elf Mages; accompanied by a series of low-pitched explosive flames from the Fireball Wand, the two Elves and the large tree serving as the Mythallar Node turned into flying ash together.

At the same time, at the Mythallar Node attacked by Angelin's team, those two Elf Mages also met the same fate.

It was just that the subsequent situation was not as smooth as before.

Of course, this was only for Xia Duo himself; for others, the current situation might be even smoother, who knows.

At the two destroyed Mythallar Nodes, the two teams successfully buried the Guidance beacons; only then did Xia Duo understand what that so-called Guidance beacon actually was.

Looking at the fist-sized Arcane Crystal Polymer, filled with complex patterns inside, being taken out of the Dimensional Bag by Niya, Xia Duo suddenly felt a burst of heat in his heart.

A Standard Arcane Crystal was about the size of a finger joint, and that fist-sized one contained at least over a hundred Arcane Crystals.

If converted into the Statue from that ancient ruin in Xiaduo Ling, just that one Arcane Crystal Polymer could at least be exchanged for dozens of Statues.

And now, more than fifty teams, each team had previously received a Dimensional Bag containing a Guidance beacon, which meant that this contained at least 5000 Standard Arcane Crystals.

If they were all given to him, to what extent could his Personal Space be expanded!

If calculated according to the market price of 5000 Gold Coins per Standard Arcane Crystal, then this mission's expenditure alone exceeded 25 million Gold Coins.

Of course, it couldn't be calculated like that in reality; a Great Arcanist must find it easier to manufacture Arcane Crystals than an ordinary Arcanist, but even so, it was a considerable expenditure.

Xia Duo immediately realized that his judgment of this mission before might have been somewhat biased; this mission was not just to sharpen the bloodthirstiness of the people of the Seven Towers and let them take sides on the Elf issue.

It must also be related to the ownership of this Plane.

Otherwise, it was really hard to believe that so much cost was spent just to achieve some relatively empty goals; there must be tangible interests involved.

Besides this Plane itself, Xia Duo could not think of anything else.

……

After Niya buried the Guidance beacon, other teams also achieved results one after another, and this was also where Xia Duo thought it was not smooth.

Because, except for the first two Mythallar Nodes attacked, at other Mythallar Nodes, those Elf Mages guarding the nodes had already run away before the mobile squads arrived!

What Xia Duo considered smooth was naturally that those Elf Mages put up a desperate struggle and were then cleaned up; that would count as smooth.

In the current situation, for individual missions, it looked very smooth, but in reality, from the overall perspective, the Elf Mages must be gathering together.

Next, the momentum of offense and defense has changed!
