Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 486 - 461: Passage

The Mamba School elder, after retrieving the Secret Medicine, defiantly raised his head and "glug-glug" poured all the black liquid down his throat.

He moved so fast that Tang Qi only managed to catch a glimpse of an Information Fragment.

"Curio: Originating from the Mamba School, this Secret Medicine is consumed only when the Ancient Mamba People’s tribe is breached..."

A brief piece of information was enough to explain the purpose of the black liquid.

The ensuing transformation on the elder’s body proved this point.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Scorching, destructive steam continuously spurted out from the elder’s ears, nose, and mouth, as though he intended to boil the surrounding air. Meanwhile, the elder’s body swelled crazily, and his bright red robe gradually could only cover his essential parts.

In the blink of an eye, a muscular monster appeared.

His mouth could no longer close, his black teeth and fire-breathing-like nostrils made the elder look like a freshly conjured "Demon."

"Bang!"

Action was taken without waiting or greeting others. Like a privately modified tank, his legs moved, crushing the ground and dragging the scorching steam towards the "Visares Blood Cannon."

Others acted at the same time.

The Jungle Puppet Master once again released his "Nabopu Stone," the jelly-like stone shimmering in rainbow hues, shaking slightly before unexpectedly transforming into an incredibly ugly creature, half-human, half-bird, with a skull-like head and gills on its face.

When this Strange Bird let out a piercing shriek, a peculiar storm carrying gravel, rust, and poisonous water engulfed the Blood Cannon.

"This time it’s mimicking the Duge Strange Bird from the Dark Era that ravaged the Southern Continent, capable of summoning a toxic storm, especially effective against mechanical creations."

Tang Qi glanced and made his judgment, then looked towards Reina Swinton and Timothy.

The serious female adventurer, when her long sword reappeared in her hand, a huge cloud unscheduledly appeared over the gray, gloomy earth.

Reina Swinton was solemn, her sword pointed directly at the "Visares Blood Cannon", as thunder exploded across the sky congregating into a thick beam of lightning, hammering down towards the Blood Cannon.

Boom!

Under the bright white lightning, two figures appeared unexpectedly.

Tang Qi and Timothy.

The two of them appeared above the Blood Cannon first, unlike Timothy who wielded an obsidian dagger, crude and simple, the dagger aimed directly at stabbing the "giant skull." Seeing the intense ghost light oozing from the dagger, Tang Qi had no doubt about its sharpness.

Most high-level wonders probably couldn’t withstand a stab from this dagger.

Tang Qi did not initiate an attack right away, even as the Blood Cannon was already firing at the next "strongest" contender, the Extraordinary Warrior Haisen, who despite unleashing his greatest strength.

By his side, there was the Mamba elder assisted by the Secret Medicine.

Yet it still didn’t change the fact that he was blasted into a severely injured state by the cannon.

Compared to the Earth Mother Witch, Haisen’s initial contact was not bad.

Unfortunately, the second bombardment of blood light was about to unfold.

Tang Qi’s gaze swept over the Blood Cannon, capturing streams of Information Fragments, the various components constructing the Blood Cannon should have had some flaws or defects.

But horrifyingly, whether by Special Ability or his eyes as an "Artifact Forger", what he saw was perfection.

At the same time, extremely dangerous signals began flashing in the minds of Tang Qi and Timothy.

They were too close!

Old Mayan Magic Runes, covered with unknown metals, skeletons, and human corpses, were oozing strange glows, emitting peculiar sucking waves that rolled out continuously, not like a tide, more like "quicksand" or "swamp."

The duo realized, if they didn’t leave now, they wouldn’t be able to.

They would be sucked in to become a part of the Blood Cannon, to serve as its fuel providers.

Tang Qi hesitated whether to take the risk and let Diana out for a harsh strike on the Blood Cannon, but that might invite "evil consequences"; although it was an extremely baseless intuitive hunch, in such an environment, Tang Qi exceedingly trusted his own intuition.

"Hmm?"

Abandoning the idea and preparing to employ conventional methods, Tang Qi’s eyes suddenly fell on an overlooked spot.

A special fragment flowed past.

"There’s a certain chance to damage the Blood Cannon... but also a risk of being directly hit!"

As the last word emerged, under the shocked gaze of other Extraordinaries, Tang Qi directly appeared in front of the Visares Blood Cannon’s muzzle.

As a phantom, a firearm-class Curio was drawn out by Tang Qi, almost entirely stuffed into the muzzle before anyone could see clearly.

"Roar!"

Filled with negative emotions, the Evil Dragon’s roar thundered within the muzzle.

A torrent of Molten Magic Bullets erupted.

Boom! Boom!

At that very moment, the torrent of bullets clashed with the light of the Blood Cannon.

The battlefield was right inside the muzzle of the Blood Cannon.

Evil Dragon Roar, although a high-level wonder, evidently couldn’t compare to the "Visares Blood Cannon" crafted by the Mayans with immense effort, a fiendishly unstoppable mechanical weapon, fully qualified to compete for the rank of "strongest cannon of the Dark Era."

Unless the "genuine" Evil Dragon Roar appears, there isn’t much comparability.

But the legendary power that Tang Qi replicated could withstand at least half a second.

And that half second was enough.

Because the next moment, the Visares Blood Cannon unbelievably... burst.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a blinding extreme cross radiance, raging on the battlefield for an instant, thick smoke billowed from the muzzle, and that extremely dangerous aura, began to slowly dissipate.

Including the severely injured Haisen, a few exchanged glances, all seeing the incredulity in each other’s eyes.

A creation capable of wiping out a squad of Professional Transcendents was resolved with such a simple method?

They all turned their astounded and skeptical gazes towards Tang Qi. Among countless adventure stories in the Extraordinary World, many plots are quite similar, including one called "playing possum," where some mischievously powerful Transcendents pretend to be weak and erupt at the crucial moment.

Upon reconsidering the critical information provided by this "Weak Chicken Wanderer Alchemist," it seemed to fit those plots quite well.

As a member of the Mysterious Side, it indeed was quite mischievous. Tang Qi instantly understood the meaning behind their gazes.

I’m not pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. In the Extraordinary World, isn’t hiding oneself necessary? Like Reina and Timothy also do this, let alone me who is dealing with the darkness hidden in the shadows, exposing my strength now would make me a target.

Sighing, Tang Qi nonchalantly withdrew his hand from the muzzle.

The "Evil Dragon Roar" appeared in his hand, but Tang Qi had cast an "Illusion Spell" on it temporarily.

In the eyes of the other Transcendents, its appearance became much more exaggerated and fierce, vastly different from the original.

This was to prevent being recognized, though Tang Qi didn’t think his fame had reached a level known throughout the Southern Continent.

However, the Mysterious Daily had, without his consent, given him a title as one of the "East Federation Six New Stars," which compared to his other titles like Genius Polymath or Witch School Principal, was too adolescent and very intimidating.

The disguised Evil Dragon Roar appeared even more terrifying and barely justified how Tang Qi momentarily resolved the "Visares Blood Cannon."

Seeing that others no longer looked at him with strange gazes, Tang Qi communicated a thought to Gluttony, inquiring about its appetite today.

If possible, could it swallow this Blood Cannon?

Unlike the curios that filled the ancient city but were actually trash, this Blood Cannon was genuinely a Big Killer, even in the Dark Era it was something many Transcendents would covet.

Just as the thought was transmitted, a strong sense of alarm suddenly arose.

Tang Qi instinctively looked back, only to see that the supposedly extinguished, smoke-billowing muzzle, began to gather red light again.

The eye sockets of the giant’s skull surged with ghost light.

The human corpses used to decorate the Blood Cannon all twisted their heads, opening their white-eyed gazes towards Tang Qi and Timothy.

"The Visares Blood Cannon inside the Mayan Ruins can hardly be destroyed by external forces... It will actively kill its attackers!"

"Go!"

Without any hesitation, Tang Qi was the first to flee.

The so-called "attacker" was probably not Timothy, but himself, Tang Qi.

As he turned to flee, a terrifying red light locked onto him through the air.

Tang Qi’s internal Molten Magic burst forth, instantly escaping, and his entire being turned into a Fog Arrow, rushing straight towards the distant Corruption Tower.

Almost simultaneously, the majestic, towering Sky Tower finally reached its time limit.

"Self-purification begins..."

"Boom"

A pure black light surged from inside the floating pyramid.

Accompanied by cries and wails of intense mental pollution, echoing around the pyramid, those rotten flesh, green fur, and human faces rapidly melted under the black light, turning into trickling wastewater, flowing down from every side of the pyramid.

The side facing the crowd was the first to drain completely.

Tang Qi didn’t need to remind anyone when the true "Sky Tower" appeared, the extreme terror, capable of affecting the spirits and minds of Professional Transcendents, momentarily vanished.

A path!

Or rather, a passage, suddenly revealed itself below the pyramid.

It was a passageway consisting of numerous gray light points, dark and full of unknowns, leading into the depths of the heavenly pit.

If there were a choice, even risk-loving Transcendents would probably not enter such a passage.

But at this moment, there obviously was no second choice.

Under Tang Qi’s subtle control, the other Transcendents entered first, and he was the last.

Even before entering the passage, Tang Qi deliberately slowed down.

Boom!

The radiant glow of the Blood Cannon burst out explosively, and in a flash, it was about to strike Tang Qi.

But in that instant, the terrifying blood light seemed to encounter some force’s suppression, and after two "hissing" sounds, it ultimately turned into two sparks, falling on him and then extinguishing.

Witnessing this scene, Tang Qi’s expression instantly changed, his pupils constricted.

Without waiting to ponder further, an irresistible suction force suddenly emerged from behind the passage, swallowing Tang Qi in.
