Chapter 2138 The Devil Behind the Scenes
Seeing this situation, Lin Jiu had no choice but to walk towards the elemental balance array. This task was not easy, but the biggest problem was similar to the previous task, which was how to break through the defense line of this chaotic natural element.
The previous task also required considering bringing other people in, so he had to find a way. Now that he was alone in this task, this biggest obstacle was equivalent to non-existence. Lin Jiu approached the elemental balance array against the chaotic natural elements.
If a different contractor were to carry out this task, unless that contractor also got the elemental erosion immunity potion from Xi Lei, this difficulty would probably be able to escape the punishment of "forced execution".
Even Lin Jiu, who had the elemental erosion immunity ability, could feel the different elemental forces tearing his body apart when he stepped into the chaotic natural elements, as if he was going to tear him apart.
Without any obstacles, Lin Jiu approached the elemental balance array and took out five elemental crystals of different elements from the storage space, which were the rewards issued by the previous task. When he entered the elemental land and saw the situation of the elemental balance array, Lin Jiu felt vaguely that these five elemental crystals were used here.
Asking Xi Lei and Talin for their ideas was because Lin Jiu wanted to see if there were any other ways. The result was also very obvious, that is, he had to use these five element crystals.
The element balance array is in a state of operation and balance, and additional power is needed to guide it. And this additional power must be of the same origin as the elemental power in the element balance array, and the general elemental power gathered together cannot do it. Then in the Yimi Continent, in addition to the power of several major elemental marks, the elemental crystals condensed by the group of alchemists can meet this standard.
Lin Jiu looked at the element balance array and quickly understood it roughly. It was not because of how high his attainments in this area were, but as Xi Lei and the others said, this element balance array was really a natural formation formed by the convergence of the power of the five major elemental marks. The composition was very simple, and he could easily understand the operating rules.
After understanding the rules, he also understood the place of dynamic imbalance. He only needed to place the elemental crystal in his hand on the appropriate node, and then the corresponding natural element would be attracted by the elemental crystal, thereby restoring the normal long-distance trajectory, and would not be mixed and intertwined like now.
With the simple operation rules, Lin Jiu easily found the right nodes and placed the five element crystals on them. It soon took effect, the operation dynamics of the element balance array began to change, and the mixed operation trajectory gradually began to split.
At the same time, a force burst out from the element balance array and enveloped Lin Jiu. In a trance, Lin Jiu saw the five elements forming a powerful elemental storm.
I saw the trees on the ground begin to resonate, their branches intertwined with each other, as if conveying some mysterious information. The spirit of wood turned into green light, wandering through the forest, bringing endless vitality and hope to the land.
The flames were like a long-imprisoned mad dragon, finally breaking free, and rushing into the sky with endless anger and enthusiasm. The flames danced wantonly in the storm, dyeing the sky a gorgeous orange-red, as if it was the warmest welcome ceremony. The flames licked every inch of the air, releasing suffocating high temperatures, making the earth feel the hot soul.
The water turned into surging waves, rushing from all directions, forming a sharp contrast with the flames. The water droplets condensed into beads in the air, and were instantly torn into mist by the strong wind. The fusion of water and fire produced steaming mist.
The wind shuttled between fire and water with a whistling sound, linking them closely together. The wind was sometimes gentle and sometimes violent, as if it wanted to roll the whole world into its arms. Under the blowing of the wind, the flames became more blazing, the water flow became more turbulent, and the whole world was shocked by this power.
The earth embodied its most significant feature, tolerance! It contained other elemental forces and was stable. The natural element storm was fierce, but it did not bring disaster to the Yimi Continent, but removal. The elemental storm was fighting against the dark magic power that eroded the Yimi Continent.
Lin Jiu came back to his senses. The elemental balance array in front of him had almost recovered, and even the violent natural elements surrounding it had calmed down a lot. But it was still the same as before, and it did not calm down completely so quickly.
Although he lost five element crystals, Lin Jiu could feel that his affinity with the five elements of wind, fire, water, earth, and wood had greatly increased. Standing in the same place, he could feel the closeness of the five elements around him.
In any case, it was good to have a harvest. Even if there was no harvest, paying five element crystals to complete this task was within his tolerance.

[Hunter main task · element balance has been completed... Rewards are being issued...]
[Task reward "element blessing" status has been turned on. ]
...
Lin Jiu checked and found that there was indeed an extra status effect on his body, which was the reward for this task. This "Elemental Blessing" status effect was actually limited in time. However, this effect was also very helpful to him, or it was prepared for the next round of tasks just like the five elemental crystals.
Elemental Blessing Effect: Protected by natural elements, when you and your teammates are in the Annihilation Abyss, the abyss erosion effect is weakened by 80%, and the duration is five natural days.
You don't have to guess that the next round of the main task is to go to the Annihilation Abyss. The Annihilation Abyss is the area where the Well of Annihilation is located, and it is also the primary area for the erosion of the secondary derivative energy of the abyss. It has a high density of dark magic power, and entering it will naturally be eroded by this abyss energy.
If an ordinary person enters it, I am afraid that he will become an eroder or a demon creature in a few seconds. The huge army of demon creatures in the demon camp was created based on the situation of the Annihilation Abyss.

…
A cold and desolate ruin. Rocks and gravel piled up here, but there was no sign of life. The cold wind formed by the flow of dark magic power roared out from the depths of the abyss, with a biting chill, as if to deprive all temperature.
Deep in the abyss, around the Well of Annihilation, here, the elements are not non-existent, their power is distorted and amplified, forming all kinds of indescribable wonders. Sometimes, flames will burst out from the ground, illuminating an area; sometimes, ice will suddenly condense and freeze everything.
