The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again
Chapter 228 Capture
Hold your breath and concentrate.
Jiang Liujing looked forward intently.
The light paused above the waves, and only the slowly undulating and shifting edges confirmed that it was still moving.
"The source of life loves pure things, and wherever it passes, all impurities are purified." - This is the characteristic of the source of life recorded in history.
During a catastrophe ten thousand years ago, it was thrown into the polluted water source by the incarnation of the God of Law and became the key to saving lives.
"What pure thing can attract it here..." Jiang Liujing frowned and thought.
Speaking of purity, the purest of all humans is a baby. Life at the moment of birth is purest, like the ground after a night of heavy snow, white, empty, and quiet.
But it was obvious that Jiang Liujing couldn't conjure up a child for it. He couldn't give birth to one now, could he?
"Doesn't the Source of Life also like elves? How about we take that elder hostage?"
Mo Ya rubbed his hands together, looking at the Great Elder as if he were meat on a chopping block. This was the only elf here, so who else could be the bait?
The elder is old, but his ears are still good.
Hearing this, he smiled kindly and said, "You want help? Then I'll help you."
He swung out a magic rope with his backhand, tied Mo Ya's feet, and threw him towards the ball of light.
"Damn it!" Amidst Mo Ya's panicked cry, the ball of light suddenly shone brightly. It paused for a moment as if in response to a stress, and then shot out like a rocket launcher, so fast that not even a shadow could be seen.
It ran away, but Mo Ya was still falling. The disadvantage of the Earth Element was that if something unexpected happened, you couldn't escape.
But he is not alone. He has accomplices, no, companions.
"Xiao Jing!"
Mo Ya didn't even turn his head, just looked at the sky and shouted from his chest and throat.
Behind him, where he couldn't see, Jiang Liujing raised his right hand, slightly bent the knuckles of his slender index finger, and a stream of cold air shot forward.
The cold air was like a white blade breaking through the waves, passing through the lake at an extremely fast speed, and the water surface was frozen into ice wherever it passed.
In just a breath, the temperature in the air became as cold as winter.
Feeling the support of his companions, Mo Ya fell down with his face up, his breath condensing into white mist in the air.
Before his body fell to the ice, he quickly recited the spell, slammed his palms in front of his chest, and constructed countless square three-dimensional hollow rock blocks out of thin air.
Facing the ball of light moving rapidly in the air, he shouted: "Want to run? Seize it!"
The intense light of magic power instantly exploded in the air, and the cubes suddenly collided with each other with a dull collision sound as he shouted.
The remaining power rippled in all directions, and the unfrozen water surface was stirred up by huge waves, which crashed into the shore with a heavy splash.
It was not until the waves dissipated that everyone's vision became clear again.
Jiang Liujing looked up and saw that the sky above the lake had been completely cut into pieces by rocky spaces. It was as if they were not standing in an empty space, but in a seamless honeycomb.
The source of life that was originally fleeing at a rapid speed was now trapped in a small space, and only a faint light could be seen through the sealed rock wall.
"It actually worked?" Andway was quite surprised as he looked at the glimmer of light.
It's true that Mo Ya was the best at setting traps among them, but this was the source of life they had spent so much time searching for. How could he be caught so easily?
Andway suddenly felt that he could do it too.
Mo Ya coughed and climbed up from the ice with a grin on his face.
He wasn't some weirdo like Wen Xun who practiced physical training part-time, but a real, fragile magician. The fall from mid-air was quite a heavy blow to him.
But he was clearly very pleased with his move. With a wave of his hand, most of the unused rock space shattered and disappeared, leaving only a small portion, which Mo Ya lovingly wrapped around the Source of Life layer by layer, just like the winter quilt. Now, even the faint light was completely gone.
"Am I awesome?" He turned around with a grin, wanting to show off to Jiang Liujing and get some praise from his roommate.
Jiang Liujing is usually too versatile, and Mo Ya rarely finds an opportunity to show off in front of him. For a moment, he is like a puppy wagging its tail wildly.
Jiang Liujing looked at him with amusement and helplessness. Mo Ya was obviously much older than him and was an adult in the mainland's cognitive scope, but his behavior was much more like a child than his.
It's too childish to desire to be praised and recognized.
Although he thought so in his heart, Jiang Liujing was still prepared to praise him in action.
He had just opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, his expression suddenly changed, and his pupils shrank slightly as he looked at the place behind Mo Ya.
——He saw a deep and long crack suddenly appear on the rock wall.
As if it was some kind of omen, the entire rock space suddenly shook violently, and then collapsed and shattered.
Gravel and rock fragments splattered, transforming into tiny specks of yellow magic that dissipated into the air. The Source of Life flew out from it, heading straight for Jiang Liujing.
The clarity of the goal, the rapid speed, and the unstoppable momentum made Jiang Liujing instantly envision the fanatical fans following him in school.
But the force of the attack was obviously not that of the enemy—Jiang Liujing heard a sharp tearing sound in the space along the way.
If this had penetrated his defense and hit him, he would have been in dire straits. Fans wouldn't do such a thing.
The light is now before our eyes.
There was no time to dodge, and no preparation to dodge.
Jiang Liujing looked solemn, staring straight ahead without saying a word.
Chi had stood behind him without him noticing. His broad hands rested on his shoulders, supporting him firmly, like an unshakable mountain.
"Don't be afraid."
The young man's voice was always calm and steady, and it seemed that nothing could make him feel afraid.
He was a sharp spear, a protective shield. The surging flames behind him suddenly transformed into two enormous wings, a brilliant golden light flowing like lines across the crimson flames. The wings closed, just enough to conceal the young man's figure.
Despite coming into close contact with such a blazing flame, the fragile human boy was not burned or consumed.
He even had complete freedom of movement. The flame that protected him was not a cage that imprisoned him.
With a loud bang, the two collided for the first time. The light was deflected outwards, and the flames covering the broad wings also dissipated a lot.
The light paused in mid-air for a moment, then suddenly rushed down again.
"Whoosh-"
Jiang Liujing closed his eyes, completely ignoring the light rushing towards him from the outside world, and chanted the spell quietly.
In his hand, he held a staff, a bare staff without any gemstones or carvings, and its extraordinary and special nature was revealed only by its material.
Just how powerful was the Source of Life? Jiang Liujing couldn't judge. But it was at least stronger than him, or even stronger than him and Chi combined.
That is the power accumulated over tens of thousands of years. If the Source of Life really wants to kill him, Jiang Liujing cannot resist it at the moment, and it will be useless even if he calls out Ah Jin.
However, Jiang Liujing suddenly opened his eyes and raised the staff in his hand.
He did not sense any murderous intent from the ball of light.
Rather than killing him, everything we've been through now is more like a test of our qualifications.
The contract shared ideas, and Chi cooperated by stomping his right foot heavily on the ground, and several walls of fire rose from the ground in an instant.
It wasn't for attacking, but to block the view. The proficiency of the spell shocked Vita, the real fire mage standing beside him.
"We really don't need help?" He couldn't help but confirm with the Elf Elder again.
"You can't help." The elder shook his head.
Watching the battle in front of him, he slowly said, "The Source of Life cannot be taken away just because you want to. It has already chosen him as a test subject, and no one else can interfere."
Mo Ya pointed at the flames that were distorting the air in the field and said, "Can't interfere? What is that Chi?"
Chi was more than just interfering; he was practically becoming another major force in the battle. Was the Source of Life too blind to see him?
However, the Great Elder was also confused by this and could only speculate: "Perhaps they were too close, and the Source of Life judged them to be one and the same? Or perhaps it wanted to conduct a two-person test this time."
The Source of Life will occasionally give past seekers the opportunity to challenge it, but it is always aimed at one person, and anyone nearby will be eliminated in advance.
The Great Elder also saw Jiang Liujing and Chi in this state for the first time, but no matter what, the three people next to them were definitely not allowed to interfere. They were not invited to the test.
The wall of fire blocked out all sight from the outside world, and everyone's voices were drowned out by the crackling and swirling of flames. All that remained in the world observable to the naked eye was fire, the source of life, him, and Chi.
Jiang Liujing's body suddenly surged with a strong magical elemental power. He had already realized that although the source of life was attacking him and Chi at the same time, its real target was only him.
In other words, Chi can help him, but what it really wants to see must be shown by him, and he must end this battle.
Jiang Liujing gripped his staff tightly, and the seal that Sang Mo had placed on his body quietly opened. All the magical elements that had been dormant in his body for years, rarely used, suddenly rushed out like trapped beasts from a cage.
The red and fiery fire element.
The azure and tranquil water element.
The green and lively wind element.
Golden holy light element.
A deep purple and violent thunder element.
Dark yellow and calm earth element.
The green and new wood element.
All the elements rushed out cheering, celebrating their restored freedom, and lingered around the boy affectionately.
Clusters and clusters of brilliant light condensed as if they were substantial, and then flowed along the boy's arm into the staff.
The divine wood staff possessed an incomparable philanthropy, perfectly compatible with every element. The empty top seemed to be filled with a concentrated core of elemental magic, and seven bright magic arrays of different colors emerged around the staff.
The magic circle slowly rotated. Jiang Liujing looked up and stared at the ball of light above his head.
His body was filled with more power than ever before, and along with that power came a surge of confidence. Jiang Liujing even felt a surge of arrogance, as if this was his destiny.
Let your body stay on the ground, while your heart soars to the sky, overlooking the vast world.
"Seven elements unite into one, destroying the sky." He chanted.
At this moment, he is not himself. He is a performer who wants to play the music of destroying the sky. His body is his most perfect piano, and magic power is his strings, which turn into countless notes gushing out in the ethereal singing.
Dazzling beams of light shot out from the seven magic circles at the same time. The colorful beams of light gathered into a milky white point in mid-air, and then exploded like fireworks.
Brilliant colors flooded the entire sky, and a powerful energy wave spread out with Jiang Liujing as the center.
Chi didn't expect that he could make such a big noise. His expression changed and he hurriedly released more flames to cover the surroundings, but there was something that reacted faster than him.
The surface of the ball of light at the center of the energy wave's impact was shaking like water waves, and an invisible barrier instantly swallowed up and covered the space they were in, and the huge movements were forcibly hidden before they could be transmitted to the outside world.
The Source of Life created a clever illusion. To those outside, all they saw was the same unchanging wall of flames, completely unaware that the people inside had moved to a different location.
After releasing his powerful attack, Jiang Liujing's eyes were completely dyed golden.
He raised his hand, and the number of the seven magic circles around the staff increased again, doubling to more than twenty, densely packed and occupying the entire surrounding space.
The surrounding magical power surged extremely quickly and violently, as if a storm was about to come.
Tyrannical, a word that has nothing to do with Jiang Liujing's personality, but this is the only word Chi can think of now.
He could even feel his own magic power being robbed, as if a terrifying vortex had appeared beside him, its immense suction swallowing everything—
Jiang Liujing was losing his mind and frantically trying to grab all the magical elements in the air.
Even beings more powerful than him seemed unable to escape this predatory power.
Chi was secretly shocked by the strange Jiang Liujing in front of him. His strength, his coldness, his madness made him seem subtly different from the Miaomiao that Chi was familiar with.
Chi could no longer hear Jiang Liujing's voice from the contract. At this moment, Jiang Liujing seemed to have only the instinct to fight.
More than twenty magic circles glowed brightly beside the young man, with terrifying momentum, indicating that the next attack was about to come.
On the contrary, the light around the source of life in the air dissipated a little, and the light became weaker, revealing a little of its true appearance.
It is said to be a fruit that fell from the mother tree, but the corner that is exposed at this moment looks more like crystal clear crystal, with a rich and soft silver color.
Before the artillery fire fell in the magic circle, dozens of extremely thin silk threads suddenly sprang out from its body, connecting to the magic circle and Jiang Liujing.
A rich breath of life was poured in along the silk thread, and almost the next second, Jiang Liujing's body suddenly stopped.
The golden frost in his eyes melted away, revealing the dark true color of the earth below.
His sanity returned.
Chi could feel that the black-haired boy was stunned for a second, as if he had just woken up, looking around with confusion, uncertainty and hesitation.
The man who was so fierce just now suddenly turned into a vigilant and uneasy little rabbit.
