87. Approaching

The day of the dragon slaying conference finally arrived, and the sky was covered with heavy dark clouds, gloomy, as if there would be a heavy rain falling at any time.

Lauder mingled with the ranks of junior warriors and made their way to the outskirts of the Ash Forest.

Tens of thousands of warriors and magicians surrounded the outskirts of the forest, and Lauder noticed that in addition to humans, there were also many elves and goblins. Of course, before all the warriors and magicians, there were thousands of Bright Temple believers wearing pure white Star and Moon robes, and above the heads of these believers, there were a bunch of people of the Feather Clan who were dressed in snow-white Star and Moon robes and had a bunch of white snow wings behind them.

This time, the Dragon Slayer Conference was organized by the Temple of Light, and they claimed that the decision came from the most beloved Feather God in the Divine Domain. Seeing so many people from the Feather Clan gathered here, the people of other worlds seemed to have a reassurance in their hearts, and the discomfort caused by the gloomy weather completely disappeared.

The Yu people are here, not because they represent how powerful the people of the Yu Clan are, but because they are there, which proves that this dragon slaying conference is the meaning of the God of Light. In this case, the God of Light will definitely pay attention to this grand event, and even help in case of accidents. With the help of the Lord God, it undoubtedly reassured them a lot.

Such thoughts permeated all the warriors and magicians, and not only did they gain confidence, but they also became eager to enter this strange forest and slaughter the evil dragon.

Soon their wish will come true.

After a feather priest wearing a golden robe and a pair of pure white wings stretched out behind his back danced a prayer dance that belonged to their race in the air, the heavy dark clouds on the horizon slowly dispersed, and the sun shone from the sky, shining in the black oppressive crowd.

Countless people let out exclamations and cheers.

The golden-robed Feather Clan called in the sky, his voice was not loud, but he was blessed with magical power. No matter how noisy the crowd was, everyone could clearly hear the words of his wordsβ€”"The great feather god has descended on the blessings, and we will surely take the head of the evil dragon in this battle!" ”

His call was immediately met with an overwhelming response from the crowd.

He asked the fire mages to stand in front of the group and unleash their magical power on the cursed forest, burning the cursed haunted trees with flames. At the same time, in order to make the burning efficient and as he intended, he ordered the sacrifices of the Feather Clan to bless their Feather Clan's light magic on top of the flames.

Flames covered in a soft white glow greedily devoured the ugly, twisted trees, and the flames burned in a straight line into the depths of the forest, soon creating a wide, charred avenue.

The Feather Clan was the first to step into this avenue, followed by the believers of the Temple of Light, followed by warriors and magicians from all walks of life. A group of people entered the forest.

Ever since this group of people approached this forest, Shen Ling, who had turned into a soul body, had been observing them from a dark place. When Shen Ling saw the sacrifice of the Yu clan dancing a strange dance, he felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly returned to Ludwig's side in the ruined cave in the middle of the forest.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Ling had been in the form of a soul body for more than a year.

Throughout the year, he was by Ludwig's side all the time. Because it is the state of the soul body, he does not need to eat, drink, or rest. Every day you can also float in the air and catch up with Ludwig flying through the forest with his wings outstretched.

Over the course of a year, he saw with his own eyes that this forest, which had been destroyed by some unknown force, had become a dense ghost forest again. As early as the day he turned into a soul, he was wondering if someone was eyeing him and Ludwig, and there would be so many unbelievable things around them. When he found out that this place had become a ghost forest, he was sure that someone was definitely targeting them and wanted to trap them here, and who this person was, he also had a candidate in his mind.

Ludwig in his madness seemed to have grafted his resentment onto the forest, wreaking havoc in the haunted forest every day, destroying countless hideous ghost trees by his hard body and the flames that spit out from his mouth, but the next day, the forest would be restored to its original state.

Shen Ling flew back to Ludwig's side in the cave, he wanted to warn Ludwig, who was curled up in the cave and sleeping soundly, that he was in danger, but Ludwig couldn't see, hear, or touch him at all. In Ludwig's mind, he was long gone.

He could only paced back and forth in front of Ludwig in a hurry, praying that Ludwig would soon realize the danger and that he would be able to escape from this crisis.

Shen Ling was an atheist, and he prayed not to any god, but to the unpredictable God. It's a pity that God didn't hear his prayers.

After a few hours, Ludwig still did not wake up, and the enemy was already approaching.

Inside the cave, Shen Ling could hear the voices of people outside, and he stood in front of Ludwig in a protective posture, his heart tightened.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his head, this voice was so familiar, even though he was now in the state of a soul body, invisible tears involuntarily fell from his eyes.

It's the voice of the phoenix.

"Mermaid cub, you still want to protect Ludwig in the way you are?"

"Is that you, Phoenix?" Shen Ling looked up at the black and slimy rock wall at the top of the cave and asked tremblingly.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't me? Haha, I didn't expect you to become a soul body, it's really gratifying, congratulations."

"What is there to congratulate Xiao Ling on becoming a soul body?"

A gray and cold and low voice also appeared, Shen Ling's body trembled even more, tears kept sliding from the corners of his eyes, but his mouth cracked into laughter.

"Where did you go before? Why can't I reach you as soon as I wake up?"

"Our soul body is the soul power that stores the soul power in your body, and if your soul and body are too far apart, you can't hear our voice."

Ash's answer made Shen Ling have doubts in his heart. "Who took my body? Why did he take my body?"

"Your Body ......"

Phoenix's answer was interrupted by a cold voice.

"That's it." The voice was not loud, the tone was very cold, and it was not an order. But the phoenix immediately shut up, and Shen Ling didn't know why, he was subconsciously afraid of this voice and closed his mouth.

The voice said slowly, "Shen Ling, I think you know my identity."

Shen Ling nodded, and replied one by one, "I think only God can have the ability to destroy a forest overnight and regenerate the forest overnight. And that prophecy also said that the mermaid and the red dragon would give birth to the son of the devil. I don't know why you want to reincarnate the Demon God, but you have the ability to send the merfolk out of the Divine Realm, and let the merfolk who sent them find the Red Dragon and combine with it...... Even among the main gods of the divine realm, there is only one main god who can do this."

Over the course of a year, combined with what he had heard and seen in the Divine Domain, and the information he had received during his time in the New Galactic Empire, he had fully understood whose masterpiece it was to trap himself and Ludwig in this place. He was just glad that this person didn't abandon him and Ludwig as two wasted chess, at least for a year, this ghost forest became a protective place for him and Ludwig.

The man chuckled, not knowing whether it was mockery or approval. Whatever it was, his laughter was filled with the compassion of a powerful Lord God for his people.

Shen Ling was nervous like never before, this god who didn't know where he was now was the last straw for him and Ludwig. And the only one who could send him and Ludwig back to the New Galactic Empire, he could only hope that the Lord God would be willing to give them a little favor.

At this time, every minute and every second was torture for Shen Ling, and entrusting the fate of himself and his lover to others was the most painful thing he had ever encountered in his life.

Finally, the torture ended after Shen Ling felt his soul being twisted and sucked away by a wonderful power.

He returned to his body, and his overly white body had been lifeless for too long, and he couldn't move, but the uncomfortable feeling soon ended. Soon he felt himself regain control of his body and sat up.

As soon as he looked up, his gaze made contact with the mysterious man standing in front of him. The bright light emanating from the man pierced his eyes, and he immediately turned his head away, not daring to look at him again. But the fear of his lover's comfort prompted Shen Ling to kneel in front of the man and plead, "Please save Ludwig." ”

The man didn't answer him, but the mermaid maid with a beautiful and gentle face standing beside the man answered Shen Ling's plea for him.

"You don't have to worry."

The mermaid's words carried a magical comforting power, which made Shen Ling's heart that had been hanging high let go.

……

At the moment when Shen Ling's soul body left, Ludwig immediately sensed that the warm energy that had been by his side had disappeared. He wandered around in a panic, and finally let out a bitter and desolate howl in the cave.

Ludwig howled in pain from Shen Ling's soul leaving him, but in the ears of the group of people outside the cave, it was the dragon threatening them. Thinking of the strength of the dragon from this terrible ghost forest, some people were timid and retreated.

Of course, the followers of the Feather Clan and the Temple of Light would not let these people go, and they began to preach the teachings, promising everyone that this time the action was for the Feather God, and that the Feather God would bless everyone involved in the action.

As the supreme deity enshrined in the Temple of Light, the feather god has become the existence of the highest god in the god domain in the hearts of almost everyone in the god domain.

Since the people of the Temple of Light dare to pack tickets like this, there must be a meaning of the Feather God in it. The retreat was unanimously despised by the other warriors and magicians, since even the greatest feather god did not believe in it, a group of cowards who were greedy for life and afraid of death.

The team moved on.

Another dragon roar resounded through the eerie forest, and everyone in the team raised their guard. I heard someone shouting: "Dragon... It's the dragon! ”

The dragon, whose soul was covered in a layer of hard fiery red iron scales, rushed out of the densely tangled canopy of tall trees, and spat out true dragon fire into the crowd in anger.

A fierce battle between the dragon and the strongest among men began.
