The dense black fog and death energy swirled around, the blood-red encircled Forest White Giant City stood tall ahead.
Amid the battlefield booming with magic cannon fire, Leo Ray's tension was evident when he heard responses from Xiao Jing and Little Jie.
Since the aura of the God's Stone suddenly emerged from beneath the ground, it could only mean one thing: something must have occurred underground, which prompted the awakening of the weakened Stone Spirit.
After all, if it were in a completely dormant weak state, even Tier 6 Xiao Jing and Little Jie wouldn't be able to sense the aura of the weakened Stone Spirit.
Thus, coupled with my recent speculations, the situation is apparent that there might be other measures the enemy has against us.
Though I don't know what those specific measures are, the danger is very likely from beneath the ground!
"Your Majesty of the Humans, what's wrong?"
Noticing Leo Ray's anomaly, Loris and Sina cast puzzled glances over.
"Both of you, cease the attack, let's leave this area first."
Leo Ray didn't have time to explain, immediately nodded towards them.
"Understood!"
Though bewildered, the two quickly conveyed Leo Ray's command.
After receiving the command, just as our magic cannon fire ceased, the troops hadn't managed to retreat when the ground beneath suddenly shook violently, causing many strong individuals to struggle to keep their footing, swaying back and forth.
Fortunately, Leo Ray promptly notified about potential anomalies underground, so the strong individuals weren't overly panicked, quickly adjusting their steps and swiftly fleeing backward.
In the blink of an eye, after our troops moved several hundred meters, abruptly, an upheaval occurred.
With the tremors intensifying, suddenly the entire ground collapsed, rapidly plunging downward.
This colossal collapse covered the entire area where our troops stood, undoubtedly a monumental upheaval.
Facing the sudden void beneath, before everyone could react, an overwhelming pressure descended from above like an invisible giant hand slamming down on all our strong individuals.
Caught off guard, the physical-type strong individuals needless to say, even the magic-type strong individuals and flying beings like the Fairies, Dragonborn, and others couldn't move their wings and wing membranes at all.
"It's the Gravity Imprisonment Array suppression!"
Just as Sina's astonished voice fell, our troops were swiftly plunging down along with the ground.
Fortunately, our force comprises a multitude of wise magic mentors and grand magicians, various convoluted chanting arose.
"Group Floating Technique!"
"Anti-gravity Shield Wall!"
"Sylph's Protection!"
"Light Wind!"
...
Under a series of high-tier group spells' cushioning, our descent noticeably slowed, and the unstoppable gravity suppression also diminished.
"Soft Giant Tree Growth!"
"Mana Giant Mushroom Bed Cluster!"
"Bouncing Magic Flower Bed!"
"Wide-area Vine Networking!"
"Forest Hand!"
...
Then, with the collaboration of strong individuals proficient in plant magic like Shuert and treant race, Mandra clan, wood, and Flower Fairy Race, they directly created a bizarre soft magical forest at the descent's end as a buffer zone.
Shortly, Leo Ray felt himself land on an extremely soft, thick cushion, hopping off from a giant magic mushroom.
Looking around, nearby strong allies also safely landed through successive magical buffering, although the sand and dust from above stirred up a cloud of haze.
As for the black fog overhead, it seemed notably distant, undoubtedly implying our party had arrived in an underground space.
Witnessing this, Leo Ray, amidst his trepidation, couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Though the distance to the surface wasn't very far, under the sudden fierce gravity magic suppression, even such distance could turn a caught-off-guard Tier 5 Powerhouse into pulp.
Luckily, our strong individuals excelled in utilizing multiple buffering and protection measures, else the consequences would be unimaginable.
"What a venomous trick!"
Loris, with a dirt-covered face, jumped off a magic vine net, shook his thick mane, spat angrily: "No wonder we didn't see any opponent's magic traps on the way, those cunning bastards were brewing something big here!"
"Thankfully, Your Majesty of the Humans timely sensed the danger from beneath, allowing the generals some preparation, else it would have been much worse."
Sina, much more composed, gracefully slithered over, looking at Leo Ray: "Once again, we're indebted to Your Majesty."
"Desert Leader, there's no need for such courtesy, it's because everyone showcased their abilities, with one buffering measure after another, we could remain unharmed."
Leo Ray faintly chuckled, then abruptly thought of something, blurting out: "Did you both notice something?"
"Indeed, the Lich must die!"
Loris's anger evidently undiminished, spat once more.
"Your Majesty of the Humans, you're suggesting the enemy's gravity formation seems to have dissipated, correct?"
Rolling her eyes at Loris, Sina responded: "This way, returning to the surface becomes easy."
