The system is the proficiency panel

Lin Ji's consciousness spread like ripples, quickly passing on this discovery to the other six people. His voice rang in everyone's mind, calm and steady.

"Everyone, I found that the rules of Aetherius are suppressing our attack range. Don't think about killing the enemy in large numbers, that will only waste spiritual energy."

Xiao Ningxue was the first to respond. She stood in a water curtain, her hair as white as snow, and with a tap of her fingertips, the originally turbulent water suddenly became stagnant a thousand meters away, as if restrained by an invisible force. She frowned slightly and transmitted her voice with her consciousness.

"Husband, I've also discovered that after the water array exceeds a thousand meters, the water that was originally easily controlled is difficult to control. It seems that something is always hindering me."

Feng Tian snorted coldly, and flames swirled around him, but he still couldn't break through the range of a thousand meters. He tried to increase the output of spiritual power, but although the power of the flames increased, the range did not change at all. He responded unhappily.

“No wonder the size of the flames didn’t change no matter how much I increased my spiritual power output. The rules of this damn place are really troublesome!”

Yun Shitian smashed dozens of skeletons with one punch. The golden armor was stained with dark green flames, which were corroding his armor. He gritted his teeth.

"The flames after these skeletons exploded are so disgusting that they can even corrode my golden armor!"

Before he finished speaking, a strange wave of magic suddenly struck, Yun Shitian's movements froze, and his eyes instantly became empty. He turned his fist without warning and blasted towards Dao Yan's back!

"Killing the sky?"

Daoyan's predictive ability allowed her to detect the abnormality in advance and take Yun Shitian's attack in advance.

Yun Shitian suddenly came back to his senses and looked at his hands in surprise.

"Daoyan, I...I don't know either. I seem to have been controlled just now?"

Cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he felt a wave of fear in his heart. Fortunately, Daoyan had the ability to predict the future, otherwise he would have been injured by the attack just now.

Lin Ji's eyes darkened, and his spiritual sense came again.

"The enemy's magic is very strange. The powerful ones can control the mind for a short time, and even turn Feng Tian into a small animal for a few seconds. Everyone must be careful and don't disperse!"

Yun Shitian's mouth twitched when he heard this.

"Becoming an animal? I don't want to experience that!"

Feng Tian, ​​who was being used as an example, had a bad look on his face. Flames surged around him, burning the approaching skeletons into ashes. He didn't even dodge the dark green flames after the explosion, as it was of no use to him anyway.

Although the seven people lost the ability to annihilate the enemy on a large scale, they were still able to slowly clear out the enemies around them with their strong strength.

Because of the fog, the remaining believers could not see the battle situation in the distance, but they could sense that the skeleton army and their companions were decreasing rapidly. However, none of the enemy symbols were extinguished, and the priestess had not returned.

A black-robed cultist knew something was wrong and said tremblingly.

"The altar has been moved. There is no need to defend this place anymore... Saving your life is the most important thing!"

Someone took the lead, and the rest of the believers also fled. They left the skeletons behind and fled to the surrounding areas of Shadow Valley. Although those skeletons had no intelligence, they were quite powerful. They were summoned by the priestess' staff, and each one was comparable to a level 6 warrior. After death, they would cause corpse explosions, and dark green flames would splash everywhere, corroding everything.

Seeing this, Lin Ji said coldly.

"Don't chase them, deal with these skeletons first!"

Without the interference of the believers, everyone quickly concentrated their firepower to clear out the remaining enemies. The battlefield gradually returned to calm, and the embers of the battle slowly extinguished at the entrance of the canyon. The dark green corrosive flames still burned tenaciously in the cracks of the rocks, making an uncomfortable "sizzling" sound.

Lin Ji raised his hand and swung out a water curtain, extinguishing the last few flames. As the steam rose, his eyes swept across the battlefield - the white bones on the ground shone coldly in the moonlight, and several abandoned black robes were scattered everywhere like withered leaves.

"Cleaned up."

Xiao Ningxue put away the formation, with beads of sweat on her white hair. She tapped her fingertips lightly, and three healing water patterns sank into Mo Ying's bleeding right arm, Qing Yu's corroded robe hem, and the shocking crack on Yun Shitian's golden armor.

"The injuries are not serious, but the corrosive toxins require special treatment."

Then Xiao Ningxue walked to Lin Ji and said softly.

"Husband, these rules have a significant impact on us. If the opponent's average strength is higher, we will be in trouble. We need to be more cautious in our next actions."

"Yes."

As Lin Ji spoke, he gently wiped the sweat from Xiao Ningxue's forehead with his hand.

Daoyan closed her eyes and concentrated, the foreseen scenes flashing through her mind like a revolving lantern. When she opened her eyes again, a trace of silver light remained in her pupils.

"Lin Ji, these believers are retreating in a disorganized manner. They have no intention of escaping to the Shadow Valley at all... This is not right."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ji walked over, picked up a piece of bone engraved with bloody runes with the tip of his sword, and frowned.

"Indeed, these people escaped too easily. They don't even want to leave Shadow Valley?"

Yun Shitian moved his newly healed arm, and the golden armor made a crisp clashing sound.

"If you ask me, just charge in! Wasn't that priestess lured away by Master Pu? Now is a good time to take down their lair!"

"Reckless man."

Feng Tian crossed his arms and snorted coldly, flames dancing at the ends of his hair.

"What if it's a trap? The green fire from the skeleton explosion just now almost burned through Mo Ying's arm."

Daoyan looked around, and her eyes finally fell on the entrance of the deep canyon. She stroked her sleeves, her fingertips trembling slightly, as if she was sensing something. After a moment, she turned to Lin Ji, her voice clear but with a hint of solemnity.

"Lin Ji, as Shi Tian said, the outcome of Pu Zhenren's battle has not yet been decided. It is not a good idea for us to wait here. Why not take this opportunity to enter the canyon and find out what is going on?"

She paused and glanced at Feng Tian.

"Feng Tian has an immortal body, so he is the best person to explore the way first. If there is an ambush, your space movement can also provide timely rescue."

Feng Tian raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his fiery eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure. He crossed his arms and snorted coldly.

"You want me to be the bait? You have a good plan!"

Yun Shitian patted his shoulder and grinned.

"Who made you so tough? With your fighting style, if it were me, I'm afraid there wouldn't be anything left."

Feng Tian shook off his hand and turned his gaze to Lin Ji, with a questioning look in his eyes. Lin Ji pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Daoyan's suggestion is reasonable. Fengtian, your ability is indeed the most suitable for this mission. If there is any danger, I will take you away immediately."

Seeing that Lin Ji also agreed, Feng Tian curled his lips, but did not refute in the end. He moved his wrist, and a blazing flame rose around his body, reflecting his slightly rebellious profile.

"Okay, but if you find anything good, let me pick it first!"

Lin Ji laughed.

"nature."

Feng Tian said no more and turned to walk deeper into the canyon. The flames spread under his feet, dispelling the shadows along the way. His back looked particularly lonely and proud in the firelight, but also revealed a reassuring strength.
