The sandstorm came very quickly. If Rex hadn't prepared in advance and designed such a metal house, they would have been annihilated in the sandstorm no matter how powerful they were.
The atmosphere in the room was heavy. The black sand kept whipping the metal house in the storm. The magicians were calculating silently how long the metal house could last.
"This is the material for the battle puppet's shield. There's also 1/10,000th of red copper and 1/240,000th of thorium. It's half a meter thick. However, the innermost layer is just steel, half a meter thick. "Rex gave the exact data of the metal house.
"If the sandstorm doesn't stop, this house can last for six hours." Salin calculated the safe time first.
The magicians all heaved a sigh of relief. The sandstorm couldn't last for six hours. Even if it lasted for such a long time, it wouldn't stay in one place forever.
"Something is attacking from outside." Neris put her ear on the wall and listened carefully.
Everyone's expression changed. It wasn't strange that the magical beast could sense the life behind the half-meter-thick metal. What was terrifying was that the magical beast attacking the metal house appeared in the sandstorm.
How powerful must the magical beast be to survive in the sandstorm? Salin knew that level-nine magicians could, but level-nine magical beasts might not. That was because magicians were humans with intelligence and could use many techniques that magical beasts didn't. In this world, strength didn't mean victory. The magic core of a level-nine magical beast could definitely store more power than the magic string of a level-nine magician. However, it was impossible for a level-nine magical beast to kill a magician.
"Don't worry. Fish are born to swim. Even if humans learn, they can't beat fish. The magical beast outside might be the type that can survive in the sandstorm. "Rex saw that everyone in the room was scared, and quickly reminded them.
Crack … Crack …
The creature outside kept gnawing at the metal house. However, this magical beast probably wasn't the type that ate metal. After gnawing for a long time, the magicians didn't notice anything wrong from the vibration of the wall.
If a magical beast created a deep pit somewhere, it would definitely cause a change in the frequency of vibration. Although the magical beast outside was ferocious, it couldn't eat metal, which made everyone feel more at ease.
The gnawing sound suddenly stopped. The sand hit the wall, but it was unusually quiet. Suddenly, there was a loud noise. The Magicians controlled the sound wave in time, otherwise everyone would have been knocked unconscious. The metal house was hit by something and actually rolled on the ground.
A bulge appeared on one of the walls.
This time, Rex couldn't stay calm anymore. The metal house was connected to the chains underground. At the end of the chains, the black sand had already been melted and solidified by fire magic. This attack directly tore the chains apart.
Roar!
A desolate voice rang out, but it went far away. The metal house lost its anchoring and was swept up in the sandstorm, flying into the air. This terrifying power was even stronger than the storm on the sea.
In the depths of the ocean, a storm could overturn a warship that was more than two hundred meters long, but this sandstorm actually brought a lump of metal flying in midair.
At this time, the difference in strength of the people in the house could be seen. Byrne was still standing on the ground in the tumbling house, like a metal statue cast on the ground.
Rex stood close to Byrne. It was hard to tell if she was relying on her own strength or if Byrne was helping her. She was also very calm.
The spear in Grizzly Bear's hand was stabbed into the ground. A pair of huge hands held the spear tightly, so that he didn't roll all over the ground. Zola also stood there calmly, but he was very nervous.
Neris supported Salin, and Salin pulled Sicar. The three of them and six feet firmly held onto the ground, but they were using three different kinds of power.
Neris's shoes were transformed by the transformation spell. In reality, she was barefoot. Now, the nails on her feet had already dug into the metal floor, so she was very stable. A layer of ice appeared under Salin's feet, freezing him to the ground. Sicar simply grabbed onto the two of them without using much force. His body was like glue, soft, sticking to the ground. She used a technique that Salin didn't know.
Spikes popped out of the metal boots of the two Black Iron Sword Saints. So did their gloves. Leaning against the wall, their limbs were all fixed. The Swordsmen all crouched down, using the magic array on the Spirit Snake Armor to stick to the ground.
The four demons followed the Swordsmen and lay down. They were very clear-headed, and their fixed positions just happened to surround Salin.
Elena suffered the most. She used Earth magic to raise a rock spear from the ground. She hugged the rock spear to stabilize her body.
Rex glanced at Salin. She was very familiar with this feeling. In Rafael's Magic Tower, when the two of them had entered the metal pillar, they had passed through a long passage. In the passage, the two of them had rolled around as they slid, and Rex had vomited until she was a mess.
Rex looked at Salin, but found that Salin was looking at Elena. She felt a little disappointed.
Although Elena also had the strength of a Level-5 Mage, her body wasn't as strong as Rex's. It was very hard for her to hold the rock spear. They didn't know when the sandstorm would end, because the metal house had already been swept up in the air. It was impossible to wait for the sandstorm to pass. It might take a long time.
Salin simply cast a Water Pattern Shield on Elena. A huge bubble wrapped Elena and the rock spear. Although Earth magic could be cast, the house was made of metal and was in mid-air, so it would dissipate very quickly.
After casting the Water Pattern Shield on Elena, Salin released twelve ice spikes, surrounding Elena.
The rock spear collapsed. The huge bubble formed by the Water Pattern Shield shook a few times between the twelve ice spikes and was firmly frozen together.
Elena nodded at Salin gratefully. Although the rolling couldn't really hurt her, she indeed didn't have a good way to deal with it. If she rolled around in front of a group of Swordsmen, it would be very embarrassing.
The metal house flew in the air for more than an hour before falling with a bang. Everyone was prepared, so no one was hurt. The Swordsmen, who were dizzy from the fall, quickly woke up after the Mages cast the Spring Rain. Their fatigue was also gone.
What was worth mentioning was that no one vomited.
"How do we get out?" Salin asked Rex. The metal house was pieced together by modules. Even water couldn't seep in. If it weren't for the Mages who were using wind spells to create fresh air, these people would've been suffocated long ago. But under the attack of some unknown monster, one of the walls of the house was deformed.
It was no longer possible to use a magic formation to open this metal lump. Rex laughed bitterly and said, "We'll have to rely on you."
Actually, the rest of them could also grind the wall open. It was just that Salin's water didn't use up magic strings and was very fast. They didn't know what dangers were outside, so they had to maintain their fighting strength.
Salin patted the calabash at his waist. Green water flew out and started drilling holes in the wall. The hardness and toughness of the metal wall were close to the metalized rock in the temple. However, Salin only used half an hour to cut a one-meter square hole.
First, two Swordsmen quickly went out, followed by Grizzly Bear.
The Mages were the last. When Salin walked out of the metal house and saw the situation outside, he felt lucky. The black sand had already worn away half of the extremely hard metal wall. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to dig an opening so quickly.
In other words, the Mages' calculations were wrong. The metal house had lost half of its thickness in less than two hours in the sandstorm. In four hours, the black sand would definitely penetrate the house.
"This doesn't look good!" Nelis looked up at the sky. There were clouds in the sky. The clouds were very thin. Strangely, the sun couldn't be seen. It wasn't strange that there were clouds in the desert, because it would rain too. However, there was no sun in broad daylight. Salin felt like he had entered the Hell of God's Punishment. Everything became strange.
The thin clouds were still gathering. Rex looked back at the huge metal house. Salin immediately understood that the metal was very valuable, but the house was too big. Rex's mental power couldn't be completely absorbed.
"I'll cut it. You calculate the position."
Salin didn't waste any time. He continued using water to dismember this life-saving metal house. Rex took out a magic compass. He wanted to determine his position, but he found that the needle in the magic compass was spinning randomly. He couldn't measure his specific coordinates at all.
The Mages had already looked around. There was no danger for now. There was a huge pit in front of them. The landscape here was like the Gobi Desert. The black sand was very shallow.
Rex immediately took out a magic chariot and let the Mages get on first. Salin took the time to release the Skeleton Warhorse. Rex released the remaining dozen battle puppets as cannon fodder to protect everyone at the outermost perimeter.
"Unable to calculate the position."
"What do you mean by unable to calculate the position?" Salin's hands didn't stop. He was still cutting the metal.
"The compass doesn't work. There's no sun in the sky. I can't calculate it even if I want to use stupid methods."
Every Mage who knew alchemy had a magic clock. If there was a sun, they could calculate their geographical coordinates based on the position of the sun and the current time. However, there was no sun right now.
"Are we lost?"
"Whether we're lost or not, we have to leave immediately." Rex looked at the metal house that hadn't been dismembered yet. How much armor could this house make?! Even if they could extract red copper and thorium from the metal, it would still be a huge fortune.
If everyone worked together, they could disassemble this metal house instantly. However, the consumption of sword energy and magic strings couldn't be replenished immediately. The clouds were still gathering in the sky. Once it rained, no one could be sure that there wouldn't be hundreds of millions of fish eggs in the huge pit in front.
"Salin … Throw it away." Rex looked back reluctantly and stepped onto the magic chariot. Now was not the time to be stingy.
Salin was also helpless. It was precisely because this metal was too good that he couldn't cut it quickly. If it was just ordinary pig iron or beginner steel ingots, his level-four water current could cut it as easily as cutting wood.
There was already some moisture in the wind. Salin withdrew the water current and pulled Shika and Neris onto the magic chariot.
