Chapter 694 Finding a Way to Open the Astral Portal
Lin Mo immediately asked:
"Pangu, report on the air quality on the Kona satellite!"
Pangu AI answers instantly.
[Test results: Oxygen levels are below the standard for Earth; high concentrations of sulfides, corrosive particles, and unknown gases are present in the air.]
Toxic to the average human body.
Without protection, an average adult can survive for 47 to 63 minutes, during which time symptoms such as dizziness, respiratory burns, and internal organ poisoning may occur.
Lin Mo looked at the surging demonic tide that was still rushing in from afar.
Countless monsters trampled over the charred mountain of corpses, like a black tide, wave after wave crashing against the defensive line.
The explosion's flames rolled across the wasteland, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burnt flesh and molten metal.
If this drags on any longer, we're doomed!
He took a deep breath and said:
"My physique is at the third level, far surpassing that of ordinary people."
"We still have healing magic, so we should be able to hold on."
After speaking, he turned to the two elven elders, who were still staring in astonishment at the vanished wormhole, and said:
"Elders, please guard the area for me."
"Don't let any demons get close. I'm going to open the astral portal."
The earth-elemental elder was the first to regain his senses, gripped his staff tightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Understood, Lord Lin Mo."
The wood-element elder nodded, his expression grave.
May the goddess of nature protect us.
He knew it! Aliens were indeed dangerous!
But it's already happened, complaining is useless, all we can do is pray that we can get back alive.
Lin Mo said to Pangu:
"Open the hatch."
"Entering autonomous control mode."
[Understood, Master. Activating.]
The Pangu mecha knelt on one knee, its chest armor unfolding layer by layer.
The moment the hatch opened, an indescribable stench rushed in, like burnt sulfur mixed with rotting flesh and blood, both sour and spicy, hitting right at the top of your head.
Lin Mo's throat tightened suddenly, and he almost died on the spot.
He immediately held his breath and jumped out of the cockpit.
The Pangu mech stood behind him, its six-meter-tall steel body blocking half of the battlefield, like a silent fortress, alert to any possible incoming targets.
The wood-elemental elder raised his staff, and pale green magic surged into the ground.
Thick vines broke through the soil, quickly intertwining and weaving a wall of roots around the area.
The vines glowed faintly, like a living fence; without a doubt, any monster that approached would be instantly crushed.
The earth-elemental elder followed up with his spell.
The earth-yellow magic spread outwards, compacting the loose rock layers and smoothing out the uneven ground, creating a flat area for Lin Mo to use in the array.
Lin Mo wasted no time.
He reached into his spatial ring and took out boxes of magic powder, then crouched down and began to inscribe array patterns on the ground.
The astral teleportation array is extremely complex.
Ordinary teleportation arrays only need to determine the spatial direction and landing point, but astral teleportation requires traversing distant starry skies and precisely locating the coordinates of the blue planet three thousand light-years away.
If the rune is even slightly off-center, the portal may fail to open, or worse, the space may collapse, endangering your life.
Lin Mo dared not go too fast and lose control, so he could only force his wrist to stay steady.
After the first circle of main array patterns was completed, a burst of fire suddenly erupted from the distant defensive line.
A giant siege beast, braving artillery fire, crashed into the outer perimeter of the defensive line. Its massive body, like a moving mountain of flesh, smashed a section of steel defense line to pieces.
As soon as it fell, the demons behind it climbed up its back, pressing down like a swarm of black insects.
Pangu's two cannons roared.
Several plasma beams grazed the outer side of the wall, burning the fastest-moving demons in the distance into charred remains.
Lin Mo didn't even look up.
The second ring of array patterns.
The third ring of array patterns.
The fourth ring of array patterns.
Time passed second by second.
Sweat rolled down his forehead and was quickly dried by the toxic heat.
His breathing became heavier and heavier, and his chest felt as if a red-hot iron plate was inside him.
While a third-tier physique is indeed far more resilient than an ordinary person, the toxic particles in the air of Kona Satellite are still gradually eroding the lungs.
My throat feels bitter and my chest feels tight.
My temples are throbbing with pain.
Lin Mo gritted his teeth and engraved the last spatial flow pattern into the ground.
Twenty minutes later, the magic circle was finally completed.
He took out energy crystals from his spatial ring and pressed them into the array nodes.
Finally, there is the space crystal.
This is the most crucial material for the entire astral portal.
Without it, the portal simply cannot function.
When Lin Mo placed the first spatial crystal into the array's core, his finger suddenly paused.
He suddenly looked up at the location of the wormhole, which had completely disappeared.
He seemed to be trying to figure out why the wormhole had closed.
As we all know, energy is conserved.
Astral portals require energy crystals to maintain, so there's no reason why the Demon race could just use their spatial wormhole for free.
The space wormhole was stable before because the demons were constantly maintaining it.
After the Great Xia counterattacked, the demons near the landing site were wiped out, and the wormhole's maintenance nodes and supplies were likely to be cut off.
If the energy supply can't be replenished, the spatial channel will naturally collapse.
So it didn't collapse for no reason, nor was it caused by the demons.
But now is not the time to think about these things.
Lin Mo put away the remaining two space crystals. As soon as he stood up, everything went black before his eyes, and he stumbled half a step.
The wood element elder next to him immediately reached out to support him.
"Lord Lin Mo, are you alright?"
The earth element elder also frowned and looked over. Lin Mo was the hope of returning, so he couldn't help but be nervous.
Lin Mo waved his hand, trying his best to stand firm, and said, feeling a little dizzy:
"fine."
"It must be because of this lousy air."
After saying that, he took out his staff and cast a holy light purification spell on himself.
A pure white light shone down from the top of the staff, like warm water flowing over the body, quickly sweeping away toxins and burning pain.
Lin Mo slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and the dizziness finally subsided by more than half.
He stood to the side of the formation, raised his staff, and began chanting the astral teleportation spell.
Sixth-tier magic power surged from his body and flowed into the array patterns along the staff.
The silver lines lit up one by one.
The energy crystal began to hum.
The space crystal also emitted a faint glow, like stars being ignited.
.......
At this moment, deep underground in the distance.
Inside a massive cavern dug out by a burrowing dragon, Kog'Gath and four seventh-tier demon lords gathered.
The cave was surrounded by rough bite marks, and the air was filled with the stench of decay and blood. In the distance, low-level demons trembled in the darkness.
Kog'Gath's massive body was coiled in the center, sensing everything happening on the surface through its domain.
P.S.: Happy Dragon Boat Festival to all my godfathers! I'm giving you free love and support. By the way, do you eat savory or sweet zongzi?
