When the wizard decisively rushed towards the gate of Inferno, no one could react. That was because the gate was obviously not fully open. The wild magic energy at the entrance of the gate was like a storm. Normal people would never rush into this kind of thing. Lily was the first to react. She dashed out like a bolt of lightning to intercept Baptiste, who was about to fall into the gate. A white shadow flashed by, followed by the muffled sound of metal cutting through flesh and bone. Baptiste reached out to block Lily, which resulted in his entire left arm being cut off. But his body still fell into the twisting vortex of black and red.
Everyone watched as the wizard disappeared in the chaotic magical energy. His body seemed to be torn apart and reassembled countless times in an instant. Endless black smoke and ashes spewed out of the gate. Baptiste's harsh laughter came from the vortex. "I did it! I did it! No one — "
The second half of his sentence disappeared in a gust of wind. Since the magic extraction array was destroyed, all the magic facilities at the scene had stopped working. The Infernal Gate, which had lost its power supply, shook rapidly and dimmed. The whirlwind that the gate created when it collapsed made it impossible for anyone to get close. Just as the dimensional passage was about to disappear, Hao Ren took out a small silver-white device from his dimensional pocket and threw it into the center of the vortex. The device flickered in the black-and-red storm and then disappeared.
The Infernal Gate was finally gone.
The whirlwind from before disappeared without a trace as if it had never existed. The place where the Purgatory Gate had once been opened was left with a huge pit. Wisps of stinky black smoke rose from the pit and blended with the thick fog in the surroundings. The liquid-like mist also began to dissipate. It was obvious that their previous state was also the result of magic control.
Everything happened too fast. When Baptiste and the Infernal Gate disappeared, Hessiana finally could not help but curse. "Sh * t! He got away! That bastard got away! "
Lily bent down to pick up Baptiste's arm. Her prey had escaped. This was the only "trophy" left at the scene. She returned to Hao Ren with the horrifying thing and handed it to him in a daze. "Here …"
Hao Ren couldn't imagine what Lily was thinking. "Why would I want this?!"
"Cut it up …" Lily said casually, but before she could finish her sentence, the arm turned into black sand in her hand and drifted away with the wind.
Lily shook her head regretfully. "Well, there's no way to cut it now."
Wuyue looked at Hao Ren helplessly. "What do we do now?"
"Of course we can't let him get away!" Hao Ren gritted his teeth. He took out the MDT and turned on the tracking screen. "I've just thrown a probe in. It should be through the gate. It seems that I couldn't track Baptiste due to the turbulence of space, but I've arrived in a different dimension. Vivian, come and take a look. Is this Inferno? "
While speaking, Hao Ren zoomed in on the image transmitted by the probe for Vivian. On the screen was a large, decadent and barren world. The black earth was covered with disgusting rotting matter, and hot springs of all sizes were scattered all over the ground. The hot springs were filled with mud-like dirty liquid, and the polluted gas that gushed out from these hot springs dyed the entire world into chaos. The probe was moving around in the different dimension, so the image was constantly expanding. But no matter where it extended to, they could only see the same unpleasant scenery.
Although Vivian had never explored Inferno, she had taken a glimpse at the first level out of curiosity. She immediately recognized the scenery. "Yes, this is the place. Can you send us in? "
"It's easy to teleport in, but Inferno is an unstable dimension. To ensure safety, the best way is to open a gate." Hao Ren nodded. "Now we have the coordinates on both sides of the gate, and I have the corresponding equipment in my Dimensional Pocket. Give me some time. I'll open the gate."
Hessiana finally looked at Hao Ren. "I didn't expect you to be so reliable at the critical moment."
"He has always been reliable." Vivian gave her a sideways glance. "It's your own prejudice."
At this time, Hao Ren had already taken out the general equipment and a few autonomous robots from his dimensional pocket. The general equipment was a two-meter-radius silver-white platform and some supporting accessories. It was similar to the teleporter in the basement at home, but a little bigger. It was also one of the common devices used by inspectors. Inspectors often went into the barren lands of the universe and had to deal with unusual spatial phenomena. So they often had to prepare this kind of general equipment. This device could not only be used to explore unknown areas, but it was also a transportation channel in emergency situations. It could be used for small-scale personnel evacuation and material transfer.
Hao Ren did not expect to use this thing to pursue a "fugitive."
Turcan and Kassandra looked at the strange equipment that Hao Ren took out like a magic trick. They knew that Hao Ren and his gang were abnormal, but this man could always surprise them. But since the two ancestors, Vivian and Hessiana, were watching, the two curious vampires did not ask much.
With two years of work experience, Hao Ren was now a lot more mature. He did not shy away from letting people see his high-tech equipment. It was just some alien technology, and it would not expose anything.
The short-lived Inferno Gate had formed an energy focal point here. Although this energy focal point was collapsing, it could still be used as the basis for activating a new dimensional door. This would save a lot of time. Hao Ren directed the autonomous robots to install the equipment in the big hole that Baptiste had made. The robotic squids worked very efficiently, and it seemed that it would not take long for them to open the door.
"I have lived for a long time, but this is the first time I have seen such a tactic of digging holes in the battlefield." Vivian looked at Lily, who was standing on her tiptoes not far away. "What was she thinking?"
"I have lived for a long time, but this is the first time I have seen such a tactic of digging holes in the battlefield." Vivian looked at Lily, who was standing on her tiptoes not far away. "What was she thinking?"
"No matter what, it works," Hao Ren said with a smile. "I guess there is no more unexpected tactic in the world than this. But only Lily can do it. No one else can dig holes as fast as her."
Hao Ren and Vivian said in unison, "No, he's complimenting you."
Nangong Sanba stood on a large rock at the edge of the highland and looked in the direction of the town. The thick fog blocked his vision, but he could still vaguely sense the path that the group had taken before. However, he soon discovered that the situation had changed. "Look, the fog seems to be dissipating!"
Just as he said, the thick fog that shrouded the entire Ghost Town was dissipating bit by bit. Although the sun had not appeared yet, everyone could already vaguely see the situation in the distance. As time passed, the speed at which the fog dissipated increased. In just a few minutes, the outline of the town in the distance could be vaguely seen through the fog.
"This fog should be created by Baptiste. Either his departure caused the fog to dissipate, or the staff that Lily broke is also controlling the entire enchantment here," Vivian said as she looked in the direction of the town. "It seems that the scope of the mysterious realm is larger than we expected. Look at the 'black border' in the distance. That should be the real border of the mysterious realm. The town is only one-third of it, and the vast wilderness outside is also included."
Hessiana looked surprised. "Who is this Baptiste? He created such a large dimension all by himself and maintained it for hundreds of years."
"It seems that if he wants to, he can wipe out any city in this world. It is hard to imagine that this power is accumulated through normal learning." Vivian shook her head. "But this guy's only purpose is to go to Inferno. What a waste of his power. What's so good about Inferno? "
Hao Ren did not care what Baptiste's ambition was. He just asked the MDT to check the surrounding spatial data to make sure that the place would not collapse anytime soon. Hao Ren then began to look at the distant view of the town of Domir curiously. It was an authentic medieval town, gloomy but at least an exotic wonder.
Then he saw a fire in the center of the town.
"Look over there!" Lily immediately shouted. "The town is burning!"
