The energy beam from the black disk not only blasted out scorched earth from the ground of the ruins, but it also affected a large area of the passageway to the basement one.
The ceiling in the passageway had been polished by the passage of time. In addition, there were tough vines growing everywhere, causing cracks and insignificant cracks to appear on the stone slabs.
Originally, this wasn't a big deal, but the explosion caused by the black disk was the last straw that broke the camel's back. It caused the basement one, which was already in a dilapidated state, to experience a large area of collapse.
The entrance to the basement one from the ground was basically cut off. However, many stone slabs had collapsed and landed on the passageway to the basement one, causing the entrance to become meaningless.
A large area of the basement one had collapsed, blocking many of the passageways to the basement two. It was already beyond recognition.
No one knew that Nitro was actually still alive and was buried in a stone pile somewhere.
When he was about to step into the gates of hell, the lichens and Immortal Burning Grass had forcefully pulled his life back.
Originally, he had been in a deep sleep recovering from his injuries. However, the sudden collapse woke him up while burying him.
The moment he regained consciousness, a few words immediately popped up in Nitro's mind — he didn't die.
He raised his hand and pushed away the stone slabs on his body. Faint starlight shone down from above, reflecting on his stained face.
He had actually survived. However, he didn't feel the slightest bit of joy from surviving a calamity.
Nitro looked at the starry sky through the gap in the ceiling, as if he was a frog in a well.
The collapsed stone slabs pressed down on half of his body. However, under the protection of his psychic power, he didn't suffer too serious injuries.
He stared at the starry sky that was the size of a well. After a short moment, he sighed and moved his hands, pushing away the broken stone slabs on his body. He struggled to get up from the stone pile.
At this moment, Nitro's clothes were damaged in many places. There wasn't a single clean spot on his body. It was basically stained by a mixture of blood and dust.
He appeared to be in an extremely sorry state, but his vitality was surging.
Nitro lowered his head and looked at the bits of green left on his fingertips. He then looked at his undamaged chest and couldn't help but be amazed by the perfect effects of the lichens and Immortal Burning Grass.
It could only be said that the products of the Darkness Continent were too unreasonable. Leaving aside the fatal wound on the chest, they could even repair damaged organs...
Nitro put down his hand and strode to the wall in the tunnel. He tore off a section of the vine and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls. He only stopped after eating a few sections.
After replenishing his energy, Nitro didn't stay any longer. He drilled out of the hole and came to the surface.
Just like that, the huge black disc floating in the air entered his field of vision.
"That's …?!"
Looking at the motionless black disc in the distance, Nitro's expression turned serious.
He did not have the time to pay attention to the black disc. He only wanted to find the whereabouts of his teammates as soon as possible.
He turned around, his back facing the black disc, and strode forward.
At this moment, an aura came from behind him and locked onto him.
"Hmm?"
Nitro's right foot tapped on the ground, and his body darted forward a few meters. He then turned his ankle and looked forward.
In the night, over ten beams of light shot out from the bottom of the black disc. They were like meteors, flying toward Feng Lin with tails of flames.
Nitro's gaze turned serious. He opened his pores and released his psychokinesis, covering his body and forming an armor.
In just a few blinks of the eye, the ten beams of light landed within 100 meters of Feng Lin. Moreover, they did not make any noise when they landed.
Judging from the speed of their flight, it was a rather brilliant release of elemental skills.
Before landing, they actually managed to disperse the momentum. It could be seen that the control elemental skills were also outstanding.
The light of telekinesis dissipated, revealing ten skinny humans with white masks on their faces.
Looking at the appearance of the newcomers, Nitro's brows raised.
It was the masked men...
"This is troublesome."
Nitro felt that this was a thorny problem.
The masked men each chose a very tricky landing spot. They formed an encirclement, surrounding Nitro in the center.
Every masked person had an aura surging like flames floating on their bodies. It was extremely eye-catching in the night.
The patterns of various creatures on the masks were lifelike in the light of psychokinesis.
Their entire faces were covered by the smooth white masks. Feng Lin could not see their eyes, but he could feel their gaze.
From the gazes cast on him, Nitro felt hostility.
This was also natural.
Nitro assumed an offensive and defensive posture. His eyes moved left and right, looking for an opportunity to break through.
He did not intend to confront the masked men head-on. Not to mention how many masked men there were in the black disc, he could not deal with the ten present.
Using the strength of the masked men he encountered in the ruins as a reference, then, if there were three or five of them, he still had the confidence to deal with them. But there were ten here, so he could only run away.
If there was a possibility of winning, he had to rely on the geographical advantage. But here was an empty flat ground...
The masked men did not make a move immediately, and Nitro also took the opportunity to observe the position of the masked men.
"There is no gap at all." Nitro thought silently.
The ten masked men stood in a circle, maintaining a distance between each other. There was almost no difference, and it was frighteningly neat.
Since there was no gap, it was up to him to create an opportunity.
Nitro's expression was solemn. The direction he chose to break through was opposite to the black disc.
His right foot moved slightly forward half a step. When he was about to move, a breath fluctuation from the ground made him subconsciously stop the thought.
The scarecrow came out of the hole about twenty meters away from him and came to the ground.
The scarecrow's position was also surrounded by the masked men. His appearance caused the masked men's Qi field to be a little chaotic.
Nitro silently looked at the scarecrow coming up from the first floor of the ruins. For a moment, it was difficult to decide whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Was this a tiger in front and a wolf behind, or a tripartite balance of power?
The scarecrow first looked at Nitro, who was closer to him, and then looked at the masked men around him. For a moment, he seemed to be very quiet.
This was not a situation that could be used as an excuse to escape by going to the wrong door.
.....
The periphery of the ruins was a piece of barren land. After walking for two kilometers, they would reach a vast forest.
The appearance of the black disc made Bujand and the rest retreat decisively.
After leaving the ruins, the team entered the forest. Even when the night fell, they did not stop moving forward.
The exploration of the underground ruins had caused the team a lot of losses. More than half of the team members were sacrificed.
The silver lining was that the core members of the team were still there.
It was not time for them to leave yet.
In Bujand's plan, they had to at least bring back a kind of [Hope]. As for the [Disaster] that might be brought back along with them, it was not within his consideration at all.
This was also one of the reasons why Nitro stopped Bujand.
On the other side, the remaining members of the Hunters' Association were stationed at the edge of the forest.
