After synchronizing the current situation with the members of the action team, Xia Duo confirmed the situation with the two intelligence agents who were also in the Lingsi network of the action team:

"Has the time-related signal in the northwest detected by the monitoring center disappeared?"

"That's good!"

Although Xia Duo was more than 90% sure that the time-related signal northwest of Evereska came from the secret base of the demons in the Ansai Mountains where he was currently located, he was slightly relieved the moment he got the real confirmation. .

Next is the signal source to the south.

"Has the exact location of the southwest signal been determined?" Xia Duo asked again.

"It still takes a while, but it will be ready soon!"

"The accurate location will be synchronized to the Lingsi network immediately."

After replying, Xia Duo no longer delayed, but issued spellcasting instructions to the members of the action team. Although the exact location of the target has not yet been locked, relevant preparations can be made in advance, such as preparing for teleportation and advance detection.

At this point, it is actually real combat, because the time-related ritual corresponding to the signal source in the south has most likely exceeded the critical point of random intervention, and it needs to compete for control of the ritual through spell confrontation before it can be safely eliminated.

"Teleport!"

The time difference corresponding to the end of the ceremony is at least 10 to 20 minutes.

Now those mages are all summoned temporarily, and even less often they are used as auxiliary spell-casting tools. With or without Xia Shao centrally commanding, even doubling the number of people will be very useful.

This is the first critical point of the ceremony. If it is exceeded, there is still a chance to stop it. Half an hour is also considered a critical point. Beyond this time, it is possible to successfully stop it unless Xia Duo personally participates.

At that time, the difference had not yet passed the first critical point. Directly breaking the ritual was extremely unlikely to cause unpredictable consequences. War spells were obviously applicable.

So Mr. Xia quickly adjusted the direction of the detection spell, and he saw a scene similar to the Ansai Mountains at the last moment. This was a scene in the Wattina Mountains on the border of Salvin—

The essence of that spell is a spell-suppressing field, which can smooth out the twisted state of the magic network string within a certain range and restore the original flowing state.

The last moment, the scene behind Mr. Xia's eyes changed. In just a moment, I noticed that it was the strange feeling brought to me by the direction of the spiritual thought at close range. Especially, the detecting spell was far worse than the abnormal direct vision.

…

It belongs to the perceptual state of few modal fusion.

But time is running out now, and the demon will give me time to quickly retrace my memory, so I barely have any determination to send the spellcasting instructions on the mountain wall network.

While simultaneously constructing the spellcasting position, the first test was sent to Lingsi who was nearby -

War spells may not be used for scrying, but can war spells be used for the time-related ritual to stop the demon descendants?

And at this time point, if Mr. Xia directs the action, he will not have the chance to try twice at most.

【Dispel magic】!

It's just that casting spells on human flesh is better than casting war spells. Mr. Xia changed several spells in succession, and finally found something normal, but only had some vague inspiration.

But now is not the right time to trace the subconscious mind. Unfortunately, at that time, the monitoring center had not locked the location of the signal source. It was not very accurate, but it was not enough for use.

In other words, in addition to preventing the time-related ritual, the next task for Young Master Xia's team is to remove the protection of the demon base first!

For example, in the situation that Mr. Xia is encountering now, he has clearly used various detection spells to determine that there is no primitive forest in the world, no matter how unusual it is.

The members of the action team must work together to cast spells to fight against the demon mage, and Xia is the only person who can do it.

…

The first is wide-area detection, not war spells, but rough detection in a small area. It is possible to continue to use war spells, but Xia Shaoer is not keenly aware of the subtle psychological changes of the action team members in the mountain wall network. .

But this time can only be one hour at most. If it exceeds one hour, then even if Xia Duo makes multiple copies of himself and can fully communicate with each other and cast spells together, there is no way to stop him.

So even though it has only been about two minutes since the signal was discovered, it will actually take less than a minute for the ceremony corresponding to the signal in the south to pass the first critical point.

At that time point, even if Mr. Xia was involved or not, the members of the action team must have studied the time-related ritual in advance, and there was no small chance of successfully stopping it, but there was only one chance.

A place of spiritual reflection, and the seemingly pristine forest scene inside.

Therefore, even now, Mr. Xia still cannot use the robe of longing to use war spells to detect information from far away. I did not continue to do that, but chose to take care of my companion's emotions.

Illusion enchantment!

The last moment, this place was very spiritual, and bursts of light and shadow distortion suddenly appeared on the surface. Seeing that scene, it was just Mr. Xia, and the unanimous judgment of other mages was instantly transmitted from the mountain wall network -

For example, combining the magic network with the traces of life cannot detect the caster, but it requires two detection spells. At the same time, the caster also needs to be able to understand the two detection results, and unconsciously perform a comprehensive analysis of the two detection results.

But the same thing is that there is no camouflaged caravan guarding the Ansai Mountains on this side of the Vatina Mountains. Mr. Xia guessed that maybe because the demon base here is still in a complete state, there is no need for additional transportation. security personnel.

Of course, all other times are counted from the end of the ceremony, but from the end of the discovery of the time-related signal.

But when I went there in person and took a look in front of me, I felt a strange sense of dissonance. I felt that the scene I saw behind my eyes was not real, but at most it was artificially modified or disguised.

However, detecting spells have different tendencies, such as detecting fluctuations in magic nets, traces of life, residual spiritual light, direction of airflow, etc. However, seeing it directly with the naked eye in person is essentially just vision, and also includes various senses of the body.

Just when Master Xia was casting the spell, the staff of the Demon Intelligence Room finally arrived at the far end of the destroyed Demon Base. However, Master Xia did not negotiate with us, but synchronized the information in the Qiangde network. Find out the results.

According to the location information synchronized later by the monitoring center, the signal source is probably at the southern border of Qiangdeshu, which does not mean that the Ansai Mountains where Mr. Xia is now is sandwiching Qiangdeshu.

It must be special. At that time, Young Master Xia might trace his memory and look for the subconscious information of the moment when he felt different, so that he could know the reason why it felt normal.

However, few-modal fusion perception is a comprehensive analysis of a small number of sensory states from the beginning. It may be like a detection spell for a single item, but for simple situations, it can produce something far beyond the detection spell. intuition.

Therefore, when Mr. Xia chose to detect the direction, he unconsciously chose the mirror-symmetrical position of the demon base with Salvin as the center.
