Chapter 167: Fire Net.

Pal’s fall was a huge blow to Callisto. Until now, the female Trialist had not completely adjusted her emotions. It was precisely because of this that she kept talking, wanting to free herself from this emotion as soon as possible.

Xiao Fen rubbed his nose again. In front of him, there was a naked strong man holding a giant shield with his back turned to him. Beside him, there was a female Trialist whose mind was not clear, chattering away. This situation looked comical no matter how one looked at it.

Xiao Fen suddenly lost confidence as to whether they could leave this harsh environment.

“You can try to think about how we can leave here. That is at least more realistic than you always thinking about that Hell Watchdog outside.”

Xiao Fen suggested thus. Of course, he could have said something better, and there was no need to be so stiff with a woman, but Xiao Fen was not a love saint, and the current environment did not allow him to consider anything romantic. Surviving was the most important thing.

“So what if we leave here?”

Callisto’s mind seemed a bit confused. The mental stimulation had damaged her more severely than Xiao Fen had imagined.

Xiao Fen slapped the face of this woman who was starting to trance out and said viciously in a low voice: “Stop feeling sorry for yourself there, stupid woman. You still owe me Gene Points that you haven’t paid back. Leave here, pay back my Gene Points, and I don’t care if you die. Before you pay me back my Gene Points, think hard for me. I didn’t cry, so you are not allowed to cry either!”

In his urgency, Xiao Fen did not care about speaking foreign languages. A string of fluent Mandarin burst out continuously. Then, regardless of whether Callisto understood or not, he reached out, grabbed the female Trialist’s hair, and pulled her to his side. His left hand suddenly extended, grabbed the female Trialist’s chest, rubbed it a few times, and asked: “Are you awake? Stupid woman, if you don’t wake up, I will start working on your body.”

“Stop it, Palin. You cannot bear the consequences of laying hands on the women of our race right now.”

Hearing Lycaon’s warning, Xiao Fen suddenly turned his head, spat fiercely on the ground, and said: “Consequences are something that can only be discussed if we are alive. If we all die here today, what is the point of caring about any consequences?”

Lycaon let out a sigh and said in a low voice: “Fine, at least please be gentle.”

Xiao Fen almost spat out a mouthful of blood. This big brother’s attitude changed too quickly. One second he was threatening, and the next second he was compromising. This looked like there was some unspeakable inside story.

Just then, Callisto’s voice suddenly came: “Move your hand away from my chest. Also, the hand on my hair, take it off too. One second late, and I won’t mind cutting both of these hands off.”

At the same time, the temperature on the left side of Xiao Fen rose sharply, while his right side felt like falling into an ice cave. The huge temperature difference made Xiao Fen feel as if his body were being cut apart in an instant, extremely painful.

Xiao Fen hurriedly let go. Only then did he realize that when he touched her chest just now, he was in no mood to feel anything, so much so that he now had no memory of what Callisto’s large chest felt like.

Whether this counted as a regret, Xiao Fen did not know. He only knew that the female Trialist beside him seemed to have switched modes, transforming from the previous delirious state to a fierce and menacing condition.

Even though she didn’t actually attack Xiao Fen, just the continuous temperature difference caused him immense pain.

Xiao Fen warned in a low voice: “Once I move, this Web will disappear.”

Callisto reluctantly stopped her temperature attack on Xiao Fen and turned her head to look outside the door.

The floating shields she had created just now were now mostly lost. More and more energy shockwaves kept rushing in from outside the door. The shields made of characters could no longer block them, and some were blocked by Lycaon’s giant shield, but looking at Lycaon’s performance, it was clear that this energy impact was also huge damage for Lycaon.

“My brother has never been very resistant to energy attacks. Although his physique has improved, in terms of resistance, our race bears Yggdrasil’s punishment.”

Listening to Callisto speak like this, Xiao Fen thought for a moment that the chatty, dazed female Trialist had returned. He suddenly turned his head to look, but saw that Callisto’s eyes were very bright, showing no trace of the previous dazedness.

“We have a huge advantage in Strength and Agility, so we don’t need to invest Attributes in these two aspects at all when leveling up. My brother chose to enhance Physique only, while I chose to enhance Spirit.”

As Callisto spoke, she began to seriously trace a dense circle in the air.

Accompanying her tracing, a translucent prototype of a Magic Array began to appear. A large number of dense characters began to rotate automatically in this circle without Callisto needing to write them.

Different from before, Callisto never stopped tracing this Magic Array. Under her depiction, this Magic Array grew larger and larger, until finally, it had to rotate automatically to satisfy Callisto’s need to write the subsequent spells.

A minute later, a huge Magic Array with a diameter of at least 5 meters appeared in front of Xiao Fen. Although he could not understand the characters, Xiao Fen could clearly feel that this Magic Array depicted various energy changes.

Temperature, electromagnetism, waves; these things were all expressed through characters in the Magic Array, and these characters also seemed to be expressing their original meaning through this huge Magic Array.

No need to understand the characters to know the meaning, no need to understand the language to know what was said.

Seeing this Magic Array, Xiao Fen suddenly remembered a huge human Disaster recorded in the underground library.

The collapse of the Tower of Babel.

That was a period of completely erased history. At that time, there were not many Awakened among humans, and they were powerless to transfer this Disaster. Ultimately, accompanying the disappearance of the Tower of Babel, a human civilization that had once reached the peak in the Energy system also vanished without a trace.

Just as Xiao Fen’s thoughts were wandering, that huge Magic Array tilted at 45 degrees slowly detached from Callisto’s control and stood up.

Subsequently, this Magic Array began to rotate continuously. The layered Magic Arrays rotated in the opposite direction to the adjacent layers. Even if separated by a layer rotating in the same direction, the rotation speed was completely different.

This scene looked incredibly chaotic, yet it was unified in a single Magic Array, appearing well-arranged. The huge contrast made Xiao Fen feel chest tightness just by looking at it, with an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

Staring at her Magic Array, Callisto suddenly said: “Relying solely on ourselves, we absolutely cannot leave here safely. There are too many Hell Creatures. Unless we get external aid, someone must go out to seek reinforcements.”

“I can drive this Magic Array for 5 minutes, letting my brother rush out under my cover. If there were people escorting you when you came, then believe me, these people are waiting outside the door, ready to come to the rescue at any moment. The premise is that their numbers must be very large, very, very large, enough to drown out these Hell Creatures and completely clear out this courtyard.”

Callisto paused, then continued: “However, you must have sufficient conditions to make those humans fight for you. If only a few people come in, our fate will still be unavoidable.”

Xiao Fen thought for a moment and whispered to Lycaon: “Lycaon, go behind me. There is a wooden sign there. Although it’s broken, it can be pieced together. Take this sign out and show it to the people from the Eastern Depot. They will naturally know what to do.”

As soon as the words fell, the huge Magic Array beside Xiao Fen began to make a buzzing sound. Then, a beam of intense heat energy shockwave shot out from one of the rings of this Magic Array.

It seemed because of the vibration of this shockwave, the entire Magic Array trembled slightly, and a part of the characters and rings suddenly disintegrated.

However, this scene was quickly ignored by Xiao Fen. Before his eyes, the second beam, the third beam, and even more energy shockwaves were continuously erupting from the Magic Array. Each beam of shockwave made the entire room light up.

Under Callisto’s control, this Magic Array was like a huge magical Gatling machine gun, continuously emitting low booming sounds. A large number of energy attack spells were poured out like rain towards the space outside the door.

Restricted by level, a Trialist within Level 3 cannot possess a Level 2 Skill. In other words, a Level 3 Trialist can possess at most three Level 1 abilities, and the level of Energy Impact is also only Level 1.

Therefore, no matter how complex and detailed the Magic Array created by Callisto was, or how many energy attack methods it contained, the level of the Energy Impact beams released by the Magic Array was always only Level 1.

One or two Level 1 Energy Impact beams might not be able to deal a fatal blow to Level 3 Filth Creatures, but Callisto’s Magic Array did not care about the level of the Energy Impact beams, but rather the quantity of these Energy Impacts.

When a large number of impact beams appeared one after another in a Magic Array, the result would be incredibly terrifying. The killing and suppression rendered the long-range attacks of the Filth Life outside, which had constantly threatened Xiao Fen, completely non-existent.

In just over ten seconds, the large magical firing turret created by Callisto fired at least seventy or eighty Energy Impact beams at the world outside the door.

These Energy Impact beams easily plowed a complete passage in the space outside the door. In this passage, only the bright moonlight remained. Even the blood that had once spread everywhere on the ground had long since disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Fen suddenly turned his head to look at Lycaon. The strong man before his eyes was now rarely showing some hesitation.

Xiao Fen did not know where this hesitation came from, but Lycaon did not let Xiao Fen worry for long. Countless Bone Spurs suddenly exploded from the surface of his body. In the next second, his huge body charged out of this room. The steel spurs finally formed on Lycaon’s body even shattered the doorframe of the hall.
