In the dark space, a subtle light shone through the corner, and Sarias regained consciousness, and then every tingling sensation in her body flooded into her brain, causing her to moan uncontrollably.

"You're awake," a weak voice came from the light.

Saliyaz raised her head with difficulty, and her eyes followed the direction of the sound, only to see Ayton still leaning against the corner as before the light disappeared, but a pool of blood was already flowing around her body.

It was only then that she remembered that as she was about to start digging the tunnel, the shadows of the past reappeared in her mind, and the killing, biting, and beastly instincts in the darkness took control of her body.

Looking at the scene in front of her blankly, Saliyas's lips moved, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth, and moved her eyes to scan the surroundings by moving her eyes through the light, only to find that it seemed that because of the fight just now, the cave collapsed a lot again, and her head seemed to have been hit hard again, and the pain was incomparable, and she wanted to reach out to wipe it, but found that her limbs had been tied together by ropes.

"Look, it's good now, it's collapsing again," Ayton's sarcastic voice came again.

Hearing this, Saliath's breathing became rapid again, and she gritted her teeth, flipped over with her shoulders to support herself, looked around again, and then closed her eyes tightly, trying not to let herself fall into that panic.

At this time, the stomach is still full, and there are many days to live... As long as he doesn't do it.

The atmosphere was once again depressed, and Ayton shook his head, struggling to get up, the short but fierce battle had kept them a little further from the exit, and because of his carelessness, the free labor did not dare to be used anymore.

Hell knows she's claustrophobic, a dark elf!

The subtle air seeped in through the cracks in the stones, and the magic lamp that was originally given to Saliyaz was affected and destroyed in the battle, but fortunately there was another storage space, which was much stronger than digging in the dark, and the wound was also cracked in the battle, fortunately, he knew a little healing magic, otherwise he would have lost most of his physical strength.

It's just that the left arm that has been corroded by the breath is still aching faintly, and it seems to be infected. Ayton suddenly thought of the liquor he had been buying at the tavern, and if that one was still there, he could clean the wound, but it was taken by the mammoth orc who came out of nowhere.

But now that he has enough water and food, he doesn't believe he won't be able to dig it up for the rest of his life!

It's just that Ariel outside doesn't know what's going on...

At this time, the two girls were staring blankly at the collapsed mountains in front of them, which almost buried the clearing, and there were no signs around, indicating that Ayton must not have left.

Ariel clenched her hands tightly, tears couldn't help but fall and pull down, Luna walked a few steps forward, came to the most collapsed area, and couldn't believe that she picked up a few heavy stones, but in the face of the two or three meters high gravel pile in front of her, the effect was a drop in the bucket.

"Brother!Where are you!!"

The voice came to Ayton, who was digging with his bare hands, through the stone wall, his face froze instantly, and then he was so surprised that he slapped the wall and shouted, "Ariel!

However, in her heart, she immediately thought about whether she would attract the attention of the surrounding creatures by yelling outside?! Although the probability is very low, if there is really a powerful creature such as the ghost dragon nearby, it will definitely be useless for her to expel the feces of the demonic beast in her hand, after all, someone is yelling here, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not arouse suspicion.

"Don't worry, I'm fine! I'll be able to come out later! Protect yourself first"

The two women outside glanced at each other, both of them saw the surprise in their eyes, Luna looked at the pile of rubble, and was about to shout, but was stopped by Ariel in a low voice: "Don't shout anymore, dig in this direction, you will definitely be able to save my brother"

She was a little excited, but Luna endured it, planning to talk to him when she saw him. But at this moment, there was a sudden change in the sky.

The night sky that was originally shining with starlight, the dark clouds rolling without warning, the howling wind, the roar during and even the roar of the cave - Ayton felt abnormal and quickly shouted, "What's going on?!"

Salis, who closed her eyes, also heard the conversation between the two, and opened her eyes in surprise to look at Ayton, who had excavated a figure, and her heavy mood was a little more relaxed, but it seemed that something was going on outside...

The two women on the gravel looked up at the dim sky at the same time, the thick and low atmosphere was breathless, the red light flashed through the dark clouds, and waves of heat beat on their faces with the wind.

"I don't know, brother, what's going on—" Before Ariel could finish speaking, a choking smell of sulfur suddenly filled the air, and the earth seemed to have lost all its moisture, and all the moss and shrubs everywhere had turned into flying dust droplets.

The already twisted black trunk withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had been polluted and demonized by an evil force, which was extremely strange. In the face of this kind of power, the strength of the individual seems to be so small and pitiful.

In an instant, several overlapping magic arrays suddenly appeared in the sky, each of which was the size of a seven-pointed star array, and its effect range was comparable to the seventh-order magic released by Laurent that day, but in the center of it was an eight-pointed star array with a flashing red light, but if you look at it from a distance, this is actually a super large nine-pointed star array composed of all the magic arrays...

"Ariel, leave me alone, you run first!" Ayton roared three times, but Ariel outside didn't seem to hear it, her red eyes looking at the sky became a little dull, and a small circle with a radius of one meter appeared above her and Luna next to her.

"This—" Luna was about to say something in disbelief, when a flash of white light flashed and the whole person disappeared in an instant.

Ariel's face changed suddenly, and she turned her head to look at the collapsed place, her mouth just opened, and her figure disappeared in place.

In other corners, the surviving Cleveland of the Water Branch, the remnants of the Light Branch, and all the people who mistakenly broke into the Desperate Forest appeared on their heads, and without exception, a magic array appeared above their heads, and they were immediately teleported away without the ability to resist.

Only the Holy See troops who were far away, St. Eudora sensed the anomaly in the sky, stepped out of the carriage and looked at the sky, and then glanced at the cardinal not far ahead. The two of them clasped their hands together at the same time in prayer, and soon a large, holy barrier of white light appeared above the team.

With a muffled sound, the barrier shattered, but everyone who accompanied them was not teleported away, they all looked at the sky, and then remained quiet, except for the remaining Yaolan students, who were frightened and wanted to shout to leave, but were persuaded to retreat by the fierce eyes of the surrounding papal knights.

"Sister Eudora, what's going on outside?" an ethereal, childish voice came from the carriage, and the delicate face of the little priest looked at her through the white curtain.

Eudora shook her head, a solemnity on her brow, and Scott walked over to the cardinal in front of him, who whispered a few words in his ear. Soon the order was delivered.

Speed up...

And the initiator of all this, the dark elves, was forming a circle, warriors and archers outside, magicians inside, looking without pity at the begging students who were surrounded in the middle.

Nearly 100 dark elf mages, led by Elder Marfasse, Daisy, and Seventh Order Great Elder Gladus, performed bloody sacrifice rituals.

The nearly two hundred and more Bright Blue students and a sixth-order mentor who were captured were all bound here, and the blood vessels in their bodies exploded like popcorn, and the blood gushing out of the seven orifices boiled like boiling water, and then turned into blood and shot into the black stone tablet in the center, and the filth all over the ground dyed the robes on their bodies bright red.

Starry Night shivered and hid behind Lisa Tower, watching this scene happen, and the delicate body of the veneer seemed to be about to fall down at any time. She could see the battle just now, under the attack of the dark elves, the dean of the water branch finally fell in a pool of blood, dead and dead.

Just as the Yao Lan student was almost dead, a crack finally appeared in the stone tablet, and then, there was a dull loud noise in front of him, and the closely connected mountains and trees were slowly moving away, and a smooth avenue was magically opened in the middle, as if the master here was welcoming their arrival.

The crowd of dark elves erupted in a frenzied cheer.

"The ritual is complete" After completing the spell cast, Graders's face was visibly more wrinkled, and he said in a weak tone to the shadow behind him.

"Good work, Grand Elder Gladus"

"For the sake of the development of the community, it should be"

“......”

Suddenly, the sound of slight footsteps came from behind her, and Shaperina lifted her hood and turned her head to look behind her, and three figures slowly stepped out of the shadows.

"Why are you here now" The people who came were three humans, two in black robes and one in a white robe, Shaperina had a trace of displeasure on her face, but suddenly turned her eyes on the black-haired girl in the white robe: "This is the robe of the Bright Blue Academy, and she is also your person?"

"She's my daughter," Angus said in a slightly hoarse voice.

Shaperina was noncommittal, and shifted her gaze to another black-robed man. "My scouts report that the people of the Holy See have entered the forest, and they should have noticed what we had just done. ”

"So we must first eradicate all those self-righteous lackeys of light" opened up an unfamiliar face, his appearance was older than everyone else, his voice was more hoarse, and his cloudy pupils seemed to have no trace of emotion.

"This place won't last long, and the entrance will be closed in about two days," Chaperina said coldly.

"But they're only two thousand six, and we—" Serma moved out of her place, and behind her stood a row of black-robed men whose faces could not be seen clearly.

"There are two thousand people in total, and with you dark elves, it should be enough for three thousand."

"Three thousand two, to be exact," Shaperina's eyes flashed, and she was still unsure whether to seize the treasures in the secret realm first, or ambush the approaching Holy See troops first.

Suddenly, there was a deafening roar of beasts from the secret realm, followed by a group of black tides surging towards the dark elves and cursed cultists stationed at the entrance, and the currents were canine-like creatures that looked like wolves, but did not belong to any species known to man.

Their scarlet eyes make no secret of their bloodlust, their powerful limbs covered with barbs, and their sharp claws and teeth seem to easily shred human bones.

"Soul Eater, sure enough, this place is contaminated," Angus whispered the name of the creature. "It seems that there are still many creatures from ancient times in this place, which is very good."

"Ready for battle" Shaperina turned her back and organized the Blood Shadow Hunting Group to set up a formation.

Angel, who had not spoken, watched her departing back, and then swept her gaze to the dark elves inside, during which she spotted a striking starry figure, but the latter did not notice her. Angel opened her mouth, but finally followed in her father's footsteps.

A few hours ago, she managed to escape from the pursuit of the dark elves, walking alone in the forest, escorted by two corpses, fortunately not in danger of life, but she lost her way in the forest due to her poor independence, but accidentally met her long-looking father.

The father and daughter didn't cry when they met, just a plain greeting, and then Angel followed him until now...
