Barrier of Light

Sangzhou Cave is an isolated island on the south coast of Nanzhou.

Since the awakening experiment enveloped Sangzhou Cave, this isolated island has completely lost contact with the outside world... [Deep Sea] has taken full control of everything here, and the deep water area has allocated sufficient computing power to [balance] this area. chemical] processing.

The Church of Storms and the Holy City Research Institute strictly controlled the entrances and exits.

these past three years.

No one has ever set foot here.

"squeak……"

Gu Shen and his group were walking through the dense forest when a huge, plump black shadow scurried past.

Sangzhou Cave has absorbed a large amount of source material along the coast of Nanzhou, and the spiritual link of the [Deep Sea] has caused most of the creatures in this island to undergo extraordinary awakenings, even rats.

The one that just passed by was close to half a meter.

In the jungle, you can vaguely see the dense layer of black ash floating in the sky blocked by forest leaves, and the towering volcanic cone in the distance.

"That volcano is called 'Tanyao'."

Vyas opened the way in front and said seriously: "Actually, what Mr. Adam said is not quite accurate... This is not actually an 'active volcano'. To be precise, it should be a 'dormant volcano'. The residents of the South Cave of Sangzhou Cave have records , the last volcanic eruption was five hundred years ago."

"The federal government just revised the definition of dead or alive volcanoes last year."

Adam said calmly: "Anything that has erupted within six hundred years is considered an 'active volcano'. The bill was passed in the upper city and was proposed by me. Nowadays, volcanic areas with hydrothermal activity and jet phenomena around mountainous areas are considered 'active volcanoes'." '."

"..."

Vyas remained silent.

"The extraordinary source of energy is becoming more active, and the volcanic recovery may be stimulated." Adam explained slowly: "The purpose of changing the name is to remind the local residents not to lower their vigilance."

"Okay." Vyas continued to explain: "The reason why it is called 'Tanyao' is that it is said to have erupted five hundred years ago. It was too dazzling. This isolated island was originally directly connected to Nanzhou, and was later forcibly forced by the ancestors. Cut off. Of course, these are all rumors. There was no [deep sea] at that time, and the means of image retention were limited, so the history of that year cannot be accurately verified."

"The division of Sangzhou Cave is actually surrounding the active volcano Tan Yao."

"The inner ring is divided into four large areas, southeast, northwest, and nearly 100,000 residents... Because it is located in a remote area, the Church of Storms does not look down upon the local residents, but the small sects under the church do not dislike it, so this place has become a small The denomination promotes the missionary field of its members.”

Vyas lowered his eyebrows and said: "Before the awakening experiment started, the four major areas were actually in fierce conflict..."

"Is it because of competition among churches in the interior of Southern China?"

Gu Shen thought.

He remembered his previous experience in Xiyin City.

The Church of Storms in Southern Continent has cultivated many small churches, and the Church of the Evening Bell, which secretly steals slates in the tundra, is one of them... The Tower of Source is raising gu, and the Church of Storms is the same, but it is just "raising gu" by the two major forces. The means are just different.

This is also related to the behavior style of the two gods.

The Tower of Source controls order, while the Church of Storms advocates chaos... There is essentially no difference in the reasons why the two of them do this. They are both seeking the greatest "interests" for themselves.

"right."

Vyas had a complicated expression, "The competition among the sects in the interior of Southern Continent is very fierce. Although they also believe in the 'Storm', the churches have been in a state of 'battle' all year round in order to seize resources and consolidate their positions. Over the years, Sangzhou Cave has become like It’s a small chessboard, and the Church of Storms doesn’t like it, but other churches are very interested... So the four areas are filled with dense sectarian struggles.”

He sighed deeply: "Because of the 'indulgence' of the Church of Storms, many small sects poured in, and Sangzhou Cave was once in great chaos, and almost lost the value of mining and utilization."

Nanzhou is indeed like this.

Baixiu rarely spoke: "That's why the Church of Storms agreed to experiment with the 'Awakening Act' here."

This place has been abandoned.

Might as well... sell it to the federal government as a favor.

"I think that's probably it."

Vyas's face was full of self-mockery.

He grew up here, but saw with his own eyes that Sangzhou Cave was poisoned by fanatical beliefs...

Nothing can be done.

"The irony is that after the bill was finalized, all those small sects withdrew from the competition. They did not leave any 'residents' and no longer continued to recruit believers."

Vyas took a deep breath, "I guess the Church of Storms' final solution to Sangzhou Cave may be to destroy it... The South Continent Council has acquiesced in the 'death' of this isolated island. Even without the Awakening Act, its life will be The countdown has begun. If something goes wrong in the awakening experiment, it doesn't matter, everything here will be a thing of the past. The South Continent Council will completely 'erase' this island from the Five Continents territory."

"Don't you have any faith?"

Gu Shen suddenly asked.

"No."

Vyas shook his head and said coldly, "My parents died at the hands of the church, and my brother and sister... were no exception. When the fighting in Sangzhou Cave was at its fiercest, I hid in the cave. , stayed up for seven days and seven nights, and at that time I felt that all these people were devils."

"Later...I awakened my extraordinary abilities..."

That is already a very distant thing.

In the struggles of many churches, ordinary people have no choice, but the same is not true for extraordinary people.

"There are some 'neutrals' on Sangzhou Cao Island. They took me in and cultivated me... The church washed the island with blood. They practiced medicine silently. Compared to the 'storm', they are the real rescuers."

Gu Shen thought.

Among the list of Ancient Literature Society Nanzhou compiled by Chu Ling... there are several "lost persons". Perhaps among these "neutral people" are members of the Ancient Literature Society?

Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine that in this place where the Storm Faith is densely populated, there are still people who would do such a thing.

Gu Shen asked slowly: "Are these 'neutrals' still there?"

"certainly!"

Vyas replied subconsciously, and then he looked a little nervous, "I don't know...three years have passed. I hope they haven't changed their address."

"We are going to the South Cave now, near the 'Ice Sea'."

Vyas said: "I was born there. There are dense forests outside the mountains surrounding Sangzhou Cave, and ferocious beasts are rampant. Before the church came, this place was very backward, and people made a living by hunting..."

Gu Shen can probably guess what the life of the indigenous people in Sangzhou Cave is like.

Chu Ling had captured photos of this place before.

The level of science and technology remains where it was two to three hundred years ago.

"After the church came, although it brought 'struggle', it also brought relatively advanced technology..." Vyas said sincerely: "At least before I left, streets and urban areas had been built in Nancao."

…

…

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound from the gate of the base of the Holy City Research Institute.

The Suzaku Divine Envoy with a gloomy expression grabbed the collar of a base extraordinary person and asked coldly: "What did you just say? Say it again?"

"Sir Suzaku..."

The extraordinary person looked pale: "Researcher Adam... was kidnapped..."

The face of the Suzaku Divine Envoy was extremely ugly.

Before the World Conference ended, he rushed over——

Among the four divine envoys, he should be the fastest!

But he was still late. Someone was one step ahead of him. [Deep Sea] retrieved the image of the base a few hours ago. Suzaku saw a few blurry shadows, among which there was a person he was very familiar with.

Gu Shen!

"Quick, keep adjusting...have they entered the office?"

Suzaku ordered in a low voice and continued to retrieve the video, but found nothing.

The camera in Adam's office was destroyed. As for the content of the conversation, Chu Ling "understood and processed" it from the moment Gu Shen stepped into the office, and the content had been damaged.

But that's enough.

"Gu Shen kidnapped Adam?"

Suzaku took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and after receiving a positive answer, he was ready to leave immediately.

"Tsk."

At this moment, a very light laughter sounded from behind the base.

Suzaku turned around.

He saw a group of extraordinary beings wearing Beizhou Origin Armor entering the base. As the discussions at the World Conference came to an end, the Church of Storms in South Continent decided to release its authority, and elites from all continents would gradually be stationed in Sangzhou Cave.

The blasting roar of air currents sounded in the distance.

There are several source energy boats hovering over the base of the Holy City Research Institute on the North Shore. Transcendents from North China rarely act alone. For this stationing mission, the Church of Storms is only responsible for providing half of the extermination force, and the other half needs to be brought by itself. Beizhou directly dispatched the idle "Legion Fortress".

"Isn't this the envoy from the upper city?"

The man who spoke was tall and cold-looking.

They are the defenders of Luoyin City Fortress.

The "Wild Dog", one of the three dogs under the command of Archduke Zhuxue!

The wild dog sneered lightly: "Why did I see the God Envoy beating someone when I came here? Aren't we here to help?"

Suzaku let go of the transcendent's collar and said coldly: "...Get out."

A pun.

As soon as these words were spoken, the extraordinary beings behind Wild Dog all raised their hand cannons.

He raised his hand slightly to stop his subordinates' actions.

"We are civilized people, don't use force." Wild Dog said calmly: "It is not good to do anything here. If the base of the Holy City Research Institute is demolished, Mr. Zhuxue will be angry."

"Ah……"

The Suzaku Divine Envoy smiled softly.

Soldiers are very fast, so he came in a hurry, but the Central Continent's large army had not arrived yet.

He looked at the densely packed energy boats behind the wild dogs, and was ready to rush into Sangzhou Cave at any time.

Suzaku knew.

It won't be long before the transcendent from the upper city will arrive.

In this Sangzhou Cave mission, the four continents will inevitably collide.

He said expressionlessly: "Since it's Zhuxue's dog, it's better not to bark randomly when you leave Beizhou... If you get into trouble for your master, be careful and you won't be able to bark for the rest of your life."

Wild Dog looked at Suzaku calmly.

next moment.

The huge figure suddenly stepped forward, and the majestic wind howled. This pure man from Luoyin City, who hated trash talk the most in his life, was in front of the Suzaku Divine Envoy in an instant.

He just punched.

Suzaku's pupils contracted.

This guy's speed is so fast...it's like teleporting!
