Chapter 453: Secret Ritual (2-in-1)
After the pale werewolves captured their prey, they still chose to retreat.
Werewolves are a hierarchical species, and what their superiors say is extremely authoritative.
When they returned to the cave lair, the ground in the depths of the lair was now painted with runes glowing with a dark green light, and there was a large 'skylight' open at the top of the cave, so that they could directly see the stars in the night sky when they looked up.
In the center of the circle is a majestic pale werewolf, at this moment the energy of the hexagons of the circle is poured into the werewolf along the runes on the ground, and the pale werewolf in the center has his eyes closed, and there is a scar on the right eyelid.
"I have something to report to you!"
"I'm sorry, but my lord is currently in the middle of a ritual, so I can't be distracted from your report for the time being. If you have anything to tell me, I can relay it to you when you recover. The gray-robed werewolf in charge of guarding the circle said.
"When we were hunting today, we noticed the smell of new creatures in the upper reaches of the Silver Pine Forest, but we didn't startle the snakes, but came back first to report it."
The gray-robed werewolf couldn't help but nod: "Well done!" Now is the critical moment of transformation, you must not drop the chain, and anything must be decided after the ceremony is over. ”
The werewolf glanced at the painful wolf king in the center of the circle with worried eyes, and couldn't help asking, "It should be successful this time, right?" ”
The gray-robed werewolf nodded firmly: "What I found this time are all high-quality starlight stones containing the essence of starlight, plus the cold air of the silver pine forest, the energy should be enough for adults to recover their bodies." If we can't restore ourselves to our original appearance, then we really have to accept the fact that we are cursed for eternity and eternity. ”
Soon the stars rose, projecting the starlight through the cave dome and sprinkling it on the wolf king.
All the energy poured into the wolf king's body, and his body continued to expand and expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Whew!"
The wolf king felt that his body could no longer withstand so much energy, so he had to vent the energy from his body through a roar.
The sound spread out through the cave 'skylight', and the fishmen who were far away in the upper reaches of the silver pine forest had already rested, when they suddenly heard a terrifying wolf howl from the sky, and the fish-man guards on duty at night on the watchtower immediately knocked on the shells, and soon all the fish-man populations along the line for one kilometer heard the sound, and immediately ran out of the wooden houses, many of which still had weapons in their hands.
Both Ben Bo Ba and Fathead Fish also woke up, and soon the Captain of the Fishman reported to the two of them.
"Leader Qiyu, the voice is coming from the downstream direction, and the first is the voice heard by the Ninth Brigade."
The fathead fish said excitedly: "That's right, this must be the voice of the pale werewolf!" ”
The fathead fish is even more curious about the gods at the moment, and he knows everything without being to the Silver Pine Forest. This is more than it realizes.
Pember thinks the same way, the fish-people in the upstream zone have been completely explored, and indeed found some traces of biological activity, but they have never seen biological entities, which is why Pember and Fathead are so worried, the enemy hiding in the shadows is always the most terrifying.
But now that the werewolves have revealed their location, they can work on their next steps.
"Now that we know the location of the Pale Werewolf, I think it's even more important to take the initiative." The fathead fish is now extremely worshipful of the gods, and since the gods say to be careful of the pale werewolves, then you must be careful. The Fish-Man tribe is not weak now, and it is better to take the initiative than to retreat and defend.
Ben Bo Ba also agreed with the fathead fish's suggestion, at least now that he knows the place, how can he investigate it on the spot.
"Then you guys stay in the camp, and I'll go out to scout and see what the situation is." Benboer summoned the bat, and the Fishman clan was the only one with a flying mount, and the bats would not let other Fishmen ride without its control.
Without waiting for the others to agree or not, Ben Boba stepped onto the bat and flew in the direction from which the sound came.
The silver pine forest is high to the bottom, and the fishmen need water, so they camp in the upper reaches of the ground.
In addition to the fish in the water, other animals that can satisfy the stomach have been preyed upon by the pale werewolves, so the pale werewolves gradually migrated to the low-lying places, and there are caves to shelter from the rain, which have been developed and dug for many years to form the scale of the current connecting caves.
Pemberba's eyes continued to patrol, eventually spotting an anomaly in a gap in a 'rubble pile'.
Urging the vampire bats to lower their altitude, the scene in its field of vision becomes clearer and clearer.
The Fish-Man tribe also has priests who absorb natural energy, so Ben Boba recognized the circle at a glance and saw the pale werewolf in the center of the circle.
With his backhand, Pember pulled out the trident behind his back and jumped from the bat to the rock on the cave.
Fish-people's feet are webbed, and falling from a high place can absorb shocks. Although there was no sound when he landed, Benboer underestimated the werewolf's sensitivity to smell, especially the smell of a new creature that had never smelled before, and it was like the brightest star in the night sky.
But the wolf king is now in the middle of the ceremony, and he can't be distracted and reminded.
Pember noticed that the fur on the fluffy pale werewolf was shrinking little by little. The hair of other creatures grew little by little, but the hair of this werewolf slowly shrank into the pores, and its body and face were slowly changing.
Benboba had never seen such a situation before, and couldn't help but stick out his head to take a closer look.
The Wolf King's heart was racing, and he felt like he was gradually turning back into human form. Once successful, then the fate of all the races can be changed to wolves.
The other werewolves were a few meters away from the ceremony, and their eyes were full of excitement when they saw the leader gradually recovering.
After two generations of hard work, we are finally going to succeed today!
The wolf king's body was fully recovered, and someone outside the ceremony wanted to howl and cheer, but was quickly stopped by the gray-robed werewolf.
"Don't be impulsive, the body has to have an adaptation process before it changes back to human form, if there are mood swings at this time, the energy cannot be fixed, and it is very likely to fall short."
The other werewolves were all silent, suppressing their excitement.
Although Pember doesn't know what the werewolves are doing, Pember understands a truth. The more the enemy wants to do something, the more they can't do it!
Ben Bo Ba picked up a pebble, weighed it, aimed and threw it hard, and smashed it directly on the head of the wolf king.
As soon as the wolf king, who had just recovered his body, opened his eyes, he saw a stone hit the door of his head, and it smashed on the door of his head with a 'snap', and half of his face was splashed with blood.
"Come on, enemy attack!"
The wolf king covered his eyes with both hands, and blood oozed from between his fingers.
The gray-robed werewolf was the first to rush up to support the wolf king, and looked up to see Pember through the 'skylight'.
The pale werewolf had never seen such a small creature, and subconsciously regarded it as an inferior creature.
"Catch it! Hurry up! The gray-robed werewolf immediately pointed at the Ben Bo Ba, and the rest of the werewolves all howled and jumped up from the nearby rock wall to catch them.
"What do you think, sir? Now you must stabilize your energy and stabilize your emotions! The gray-robed werewolf continued to say while holding the wolf king.
But the wolf king is drenched in blood at the moment, and the energy in his body has reached a critical point, and it is not easy to stabilize it now.
Soon, white hairs appeared from the pores of the smooth skin, the limbs and face changed again, and in just a few breaths, they turned back into werewolves.
Transformation failed!
Looking at the hexagonal energy stone again, it has been shattered into powder at this moment, and it is integrated with the loess.
The gray-robed werewolf's face turned pale, this is the hedron that the werewolf has carefully searched and cultivated for twenty years, and it has been destroyed at this moment, and the last hope for the werewolf to turn back into a human is gone.
"Grab it, catch it for me!"
The werewolf who had gone out to hunt before smelled this smell and hurriedly leaned in and said, "Elder, this is the smell!" I told you about the new creatures that appeared upstream, and this is it! ”
Upstream!
The gray-robed werewolf's eyes were red like bloodthirsty at the moment, "All werewolves obey orders!" All go to the upper reaches of the Silver Pine Forest and strangle all this creature, leaving no one alive! I'm going to bury them with our extinguished hope! ”
When Pember saw the werewolf catching up, he was huge, athletic, and powerful compared to the fish-man.
The two creatures are not at all on the same level in terms of physical qualities.
Fish-people have no advantage on land.
Ben Boer jumped onto the vampire bat and hurried upstream.
The wolf howls behind him kept coming in waves, and after the werewolf chased it out, he found that this little bit could fly, sniffing and smelling through the forest with the smell.
In the middle of the night, many animals were startled by the large-scale werewolves, and chickens and dogs jumped in the forest.
Ben Bo Ba returned to the sky above the camp upstream, flying low and shouting, "The Pale Werewolf is coming, everyone is on alert!" ”
The fish people ran out of the camp one after another, and the fathead fish dragged their fat bodies and began to direct the formation.
The fish-man guards with 'new weapons' lined up in front, the novice priest who had only learned the rudimentary elemental abilities stood in the middle range, and the spear-throwers composed of fish-man civilians at the back were all soldiers.
Ben Bo Ba used the power of vampire blood to summon another bat, told the bat about what happened in the Silver Pine Forest, and then patted the bat on the head: "Go, be sure to pass the news to the master." ”
The bat hissed and fluttered its wings into the sky and disappeared into the night sky.
Pember jumped back to the ground and walked over to the fathead with his trident in hand.
"What's going on, why did the enemy come here suddenly?"
Ben Boba flew back not long after he went out to investigate, and said that there was a large-scale enemy attack, which made the fathead fish very puzzled.
"I noticed that the werewolf seemed to be performing some kind of ritual, and after the ritual, all the hair on his body had faded and he had become smaller. I didn't know what they were doing, but it was definitely beneficial, so I interrupted their ritual, so they caught up in anger. ”
The fathead fish couldn't help but stick out his thumb: "Well done!" Let's see how important this ritual is to them. ”
The more enemies that come, the more important the ritual becomes.
"Whew!"
The howls of wolves in the forest began to become clearer.
Judging from where the sound came from, the werewolves had already climbed to the middle of the Silver Pine Forest, and it wouldn't be long before they came up.
"While the pale werewolf hasn't come over yet, you tell me about the werewolf's physical characteristics, so that I can make arrangements and mobilize before the war."
"Werewolves are tall, three or four times as tall as us, and they move with agility. Stands with both feet upright, but when running it becomes a four-clawed run, with sharp claws, and is good at climbing...... That's all for now. ”
When the fathead fish heard that it was three or four times as high, his body couldn't help trembling slightly, and he immediately went to the array of fishmen and began to preach.
The fat-headed fish truthfully told the werewolf situation to the fish, and many fishmen heard that the werewolf height was three or four times that of them, their faces changed, and their momentum fell slightly, but everything was still within the acceptable range.
The fathead fish is also a psychological foreshadowing for the fishman first, don't wait for a while, when you see the werewolf at first glance, you will be directly scared, and then this formation will become paper paste. With psychological preparation, the fish-man can also become serious and reduce the probability of overturning.
"This is the first strong enemy we have encountered after the restructuring. I know that everyone will be afraid when they hear the description at first glance, and I will tell you that I am also afraid, after all, who is not afraid of such a tall behemoth? But will fear solve the problem? Can fear make the enemy disappear? No! Only by having the courage to face it can we defeat the enemy and destroy it! We are now stronger than ever, we have stronger weapons, more united spirit, and most importantly, a new leader who loves the people like a son!
The Silver Pine Forest is a wonderland for us, a god who has guided us here and told us about the Pale Werewolves. This is also a test of God's death for us Winter Wrathful Fishmen! If we can't face the pale werewolves together, then we don't deserve to live in the fairyland-like Silver Pine Forest!
I know that the leader has brought the Pale Werewolf here on purpose to test the results of our training during this time. Let's not let down the good intentions and expectations of our leaders! ”
Ben Boba was stunned, he never thought that the fathead fish could even be washed here.
These words sounded absurd to Ben Boba, but looking at the fish people again, their eyes were firm, and the fear and worry just now were swept away.
There is even an idea of behaving well in front of the leader, and he is eager to try it at the werewolf.
The fathead fish turned around and raised an eyebrow at Benboba, who quietly gave a thumbs up.
The voices of the pale werewolves are getting closer and more numerous.
The vampire bat returned to the Vitality Mansion overnight.
Drunken Moon was about to go offline when she heard the sound of a bat reporting outside the window.
Opening the window, the bat stops on the edge of the window and transmits the message of Ben Boba to Drunken Moon.
After hearing this, Zuiyue realized the seriousness of the matter, but at the same time, her eyes burned, and she seemed to have found something she was interested in.
"Let's go!"
Drunken Moon jumped down from the window, instantly transformed into a bat in the air, and the ultrasonic signal continued to spread out from the city, and the bats gathered outside the city flew out in a swarm, and flew towards the Silver Pine Forest with Drunken Moon.
