In the end, Ding Ling was unable to find Cao Tai either.

Cao Tai avoided Ding Ling's pursuit agilely. She had over a thousand subordinates, but she couldn't catch a single blind person.

Ding Ling did not reveal any signs of depression, but behind her, the backbone of her subordinates all bowed their heads in silence.

There must be someone helping Cao Tai, otherwise he wouldn't be able to escape Ding Ling's chase. However, no one said this because whatever they said now seemed to be an excuse. An excuse would only make the failure that had already happened seem paler.

In the end, the Taoist Qu walked out. He came behind Ding Ling, and stood very close to her.

"Don't worry, we will definitely find Cao Tai." The Taoist Qu comforted her.

Unexpectedly, Ding Ling laughed directly: "I'm not worried. Everything has just begun."

From the weak girl to the leader, Ding Ling had only taken the first step.

At the same time, the second wave of attacks on the base had already reached a white-hot stage. It was different from the first wave of attacks, as this wave of attacks had cut straight to the point.

The fact that the Magi in the black tower could manipulate the energy of spells that mortals could not see gave them the upper hand. Most people still haven't figured out how they died until their hearts were pierced or a big hole appeared in their chest. But the disadvantage of numbers was that the Magi had no choice but to face it. The Magus King left with his most elite disciples, the remaining people brought a few servants, unable to quickly clear the endless stream of intruders.

What's more, there were also capable mutants among the invaders.

For the Magi in the stronghold, the death of one person was a huge loss that they could not bear.

"Let's return to the barrier!" A servant suggested.

"How can the black pagoda retreat in front of a mortal!" Their dignity as wizards prevented them from doing such shameful things.

However, the truth was that even if they wanted to retreat into the barrier, it would be too late.

The huge barrier left behind by the Magus King, named "Modern isolation", enveloped the entire plant like a light purple soap bubble.

The soap bubble would eventually burst, but no one had expected it to happen so soon — and as the wizards battled the intruders, the barrier protecting their backs suddenly broke.

What happened? Although mortals could not see it with the naked eye, almost everyone present could feel the effect of the barrier disappearing.

The faint feeling of disgust that had been lingering in his heart for so long had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

In the eyes of Magi, all of this was as shocking as the arrival of the apocalypse.

The gigantic light purple barrier suddenly vanished in the air. There were no signs of energy leaking or dissipating. This meant that this was not the barrier's natural destination.

Every Magus knew, there were only two possibilities for the Modern isolation to suddenly disappear like this. The first was that the Magus King himself had removed the barrier. But why would the Magus King remove the barrier at this time? Had their king betrayed them? They didn't even dare to think of such a possibility.

The other possibility was also ridiculous, and that was that their king had died.

After the caster dies, the sorcery he left behind will disappear.

What had happened? Amidst their shock and bewilderment, the Magi fell into a huge disadvantage.

They never would have thought that outside of Coastal City, near the Qingyu Lake, there would be an intense battle happening at the same time.

The nine Python in the lake linked together and became one. The unity of the nine beasts allowed them to better coordinate their attacks, and each snake head shared its own vision.

One of them was dragged into the water by the Python and drowned to death. Right now, his corpse was floating on the surface of the lake, floating up and down with the waves. One of them was pierced through the chest by the teeth spat out by the Python, and died instantly. The other person had his lower body bitten off, and had to wail on the shore for a long time before slowly dying.

The remaining six people formed a hexagonal formation, and around them floated many purple energy pillars. This was a trap they had set long ago, it could greatly weaken that terrifying infernal energy.

As for the Magus King, he used the Sickle floating in the air, constantly summoning and controlling the black Sickle to attack the Nine-headed Giant Snake.

Under the crowd's siege, the Nine-headed Giant Snake was not much better off. Four of the nine snake heads had already closed their eyes, and the four snake heads had lost their vitality, but as a part of their bodies, they were still controlled by the other snake heads to fight. As for the other parts of the snake's body, they were also riddled with scars. Many of its scales had already fallen off, and lines of bloody scars had been carved out from the sharp teeth of the Sickle.

Floating in the air, the Magus King was the opponent that the Nine-headed Giant Snake was most afraid of and gritting its teeth at. Even though almost all of the snake heads were focused on him, all of the Sickle s were his eyes and ears.

The Nine-headed Giant Snake did not realize that the wild beast was a beast after all, but the thing that was truly restricting it was the six people standing on the shore. The large formation formed by the six of them had greatly weakened the Nine-headed Giant Snake's killing intent, causing its attack and speed to drop significantly. If they could first take care of these seemingly harmless people, and then deal with the Magus King in the air, then the Nine-headed Giant Snake might have a chance of survival.

But its stupidity had determined its fate, killing three of its disciples in one battle was the biggest achievement that the Nine-headed Giant Snake could do.

If nothing went wrong, then in less than an hour, Magus King and his disciples would work together to defeat this Nine-headed Giant Snake. Unfortunately, the more stable a situation was, the easier it was for mistakes to occur at critical moments.

As time passed, Fei Li's physical strength began to gradually run out, and a corner of the formation that he controlled for the six people also began to loosen up.

"What the hell are you doing!" Andrea sensed that something was amiss with Fei Li and anxiously shouted out, "Now is not the time to be absent-minded!" He still vividly remembered the brutality of that Nine-headed Giant Snake, losing three disciples at a time. This was something he had never encountered since he joined the black tower.

However, Fei Li's body had already started to sway, and it looked like he was about to run out of energy.

The formation they had set up should have been shared among the nine of them. Now that the pressure was averaged over six of them, it was indeed a lot more difficult than usual. However, Andrea did not feel any difficulty at all. From what he sensed, maintaining the array was not difficult, even if there were two more people missing, he could still easily deal with them. But when Andrea looked at the others, they all revealed expressions of pain.

What happened to them? Andrea did not realize that it was not because they had become weaker, but because he, who had absorbed Peter's power, had become too strong.

Finally, Fei Li was unable to persevere any longer. His lips became pale white, and his clothes became soaked in sweat.
