Chapter 291: The Covenant of Freedom
The King of the Demon Night suddenly appeared, which made Xia Hao suddenly realize.
No wonder those Death Locusts didn't swallow them directly just now, it turned out that these Death Locusts were actually controlled by the King of the Night behind their backs!
Xia Hao didn't feel surprised that the King of the Demon Night could find him, after all, this guy used to be the owner of the Dark Secret Archive, according to what Xia Hao saw, on the Dark Secret Archive, there were several secret techniques used to find and locate the target, but Xia Hao didn't expect the King of the Demon Night to come to the door so quickly.
Mu Qing heard the shouts of the Demon Night King outside, and turned his head to look at Xia Hao: "Who is outside?" ”
"King of the Night! He's the King of the Night who captured the Wood War! Xia Hao said.
Mu Qing frowned, "What is the Dark Secret Archive he is talking about?" ”
"It was an important item that I stole from his institute, and without this item, his plot would have been greatly affected." Xia Hao's half-truth.
When Mu Qing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have decided something, and said, "Since this is the case, you must not let him know that dark secret book!" ”
Xia Hao was about to ask her if she had any way to escape, when he suddenly felt a green light appear on Mu Qing beside him, "Hold on to my hand!" ”
When the green light lit up, the voice of the Demon Night King outside the tree cave shouted angrily, "You have unleashed the Demon Escape Method at any cost!" But my locusts will find you again! ”
With the unwilling howl of the King of the Demon Night, Xia Hao only felt that the light flashed in front of him, and he and Mu Qing actually broke away from the tree hole and appeared in a sparse wood.
Xia Hao was feeling happy, but suddenly found that Mu Qing's face was pale and fell directly to the ground. Obviously, the consumption of that demonic escape method for Mu Qing was unusually large, so that she didn't even have the strength to stand.
"How are you?" Xia Hao asked.
Mu Qing said weakly: "Leave me alone for now, the Demon Escape Method has not escaped far, and the Death Locusts of the Demon Night King will soon catch up!" You go! ”
"If I want to leave you behind, that's impossible!" Xia Hao couldn't help but pick up Mu Qing on his back, and then ran forward.
But as soon as he ran far, Xia Hao found that the shadow of a dead locust appeared behind him again, and the woods in front of Xia Hao gradually disappeared and gradually turned into a plain. The sun was shining warmly, and it was hard to imagine such a flat and quiet grassland in the depths of the woods.
There is no doubt that if you encounter a death locust on that endless plain, there is undoubtedly only a dead end, Xia Hao turned around and planned to change directions, but at this time, Mu Qing suddenly spoke.
"Wait......" Mu Qing frowned, "There seems to be a fishy smell peculiar to snakes ahead, and the number is very alarming, we can lure this group of death locusts over, so we have time to escape!" ”
Xia Hao followed Mu Qing's guidance and ran into the grassland quickly, and Xia Hao was followed by a swarm of death locusts.
The grass churned, and suddenly several huge figures flew up from the ground, and then it seemed that the arrival of the death locusts caused panic throughout the grassland, and a strong fishy smell came, and the death locusts obviously found several huge figures in the air, and they immediately turned their interest to the several figures in the air.
The seemingly calm green grassland suddenly churned violently, and countless snakes appeared out of thin air from the ground, all kinds of colorful snakes mixed together, and the formation was no worse than that of the army of dead locusts.
This is simply the kingdom of snakes, from the weakest black iron tail to all kinds of poisonous snakes, even the rarest winged snakes appear in the air.
Those huge figures Xia Hao only saw clearly at this moment, these were rare winged snakes, their cyan bodies were rolling in the air, two pairs of powerful flesh wings were inserted horizontally from their abdomen, their size was huge and matchless, and even blocked the sky. As soon as they appeared, they aimed their eyes at the dense mass of death locusts.
The death locusts and snakes were all alarmed by each other, and Xia Hao took this opportunity to flee into the depths of the grassland.
Behind Xia Hao, the snakes and the death locusts fought together.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, they each suffered a large number of casualties, but for the large number of dead locusts, such casualties could not stop them at all, and the battle continued to rage.
The swarm of Death Locusts on the ground and the swarm of snakes had come into contact, and the snakes sprayed poison and swept their tails, while the Death Locusts rushed forward and rushed into the depths of the snake swarm without stopping.
The fierceness of the battle made Xia Hao, who looked back and died during the escape, staggered, this kind of large-scale battle scene was extremely cruel, but it was rarely bloody, because all those things disappeared where the death locusts passed.
A few breathing snakes suffered heavy casualties, although there were also large corpses of dead locusts on the ground, but the number was almost negligible compared to the steady stream of dead locusts.
Xia Hao saw that his back was completely covered by an army of death locusts, and the overwhelming army of death locusts slapped over like a black wave.
Mu Qing muttered, "It's terrible! Such a large number of dead locusts are simply unstoppable! ”
As he spoke, the snakes were swallowed up again. In the distance, an endless army of dead locusts is still pouring in this direction, and they seem to be everywhere. If this continues, the demise of the serpents will almost certainly be destroyed!
This green grassland is quite large, and the number of snakes is far less than that of the army of dead locusts.
The winged snake is like two sprayers in the air, constantly spraying venom, as if their venom is not exhausted, and the army of death locusts has begun to die in large areas, but the death locusts that have gone forward are still sweeping forward, the winged snakes in the air finally can't spray venom, they scream sharply in the air, and those snakes on the ground are still being slaughtered.
At this moment, a vague scent of orchids wafted out, and Mu Qing first realized that something was wrong.
"Do you smell a strange scent?" Mu Qing sniffled, she was the first to notice the smell in the air, and the army of dead locusts on the ground seemed to also sense this abnormal smell and became more agitated.
"Scent?" Xia Hao finally smelled the fragrance, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly felt weak and crumbling.
Is this scent a poisonous gas? Xia Hao had this thought in his mind, and immediately took out the antidote, and poured a bottle himself, and the dizziness dissipated.
Mu Qing also suffered from the fragrance poison gas, Xia Hao put Mu Qing down, looked down, and saw that her body was stiff, her eyes were dull, and her lips were squirming and trying to say something.
Xia Hao poured a bottle of antidote to Mu Qing to remove the poison of the aroma, and they glanced at each other and looked towards the battlefield in front of them. The place where the snakes and the death locusts fought, even if it was extremely far away, Xia Hao still saw a huge python at a glance, and the winged snake in the air compared to it was as small as a mosquito.
"That's the Orchid Viper King, and that strange scented poisonous gas is what it emits." Mu Qing said.
The Orchid Viper King is definitely a behemoth, not only has the protection of indestructible snake scales, but also has infinite power, and what is even more terrifying is that this thing will also release gas poison, which makes people defenseless unless they don't breathe.
The Orchid Viper King is like an Optimus Prime-like figure standing tall in the air, dozens of meters thick, but the length is not visible, because it can entrench its body together, and it is really like a mountain, it is covered with delicate blue scales, like a frosted work of art; Its belly is golden-yellow, and the lines on it are broad and smooth; Those blue eyes radiated a breathtaking light, and its appearance immediately changed the current situation.
The Orchid Viper King simply spewed a thick column of blue water into the air - if this was its venom, the blue column of water immediately floated in the air, filling the air with the scent of orchids. This gaseous venom is not like a jet of venom, they have no form, as long as you inhale these venoms, your whole body will be paralyzed, and after a long time, your whole body will stiffen and die.
The army of death locusts rushed forward in waves, and fell in wave after wave, and countless death locusts stepped on the corpses of their companions and bravely moved forward, but they could not reach the body of the Lanxiang Viper King at all, and the poison attack was extremely fast, and the middle person would be stiff and difficult to move within ten meters.
The air was filled with fragrance, and the army of Death Locusts spread layer upon layer of green grass, the last remaining group of snakes retreated behind the Orchid Viper King, and the winged snakes returned to the group of snakes, surrounded by a thick layer of dead locust corpses.
But even so, the Death Locusts still rushed towards the Orchid Viper King without flinching.
The Orchid Viper King continued to crush the Death Locusts with his body, although the Death Locusts were stronger than steel, but under the pressure of the Orchid Viper King's huge body, they were still not spared, and they were directly crushed into meat sauce.
The most effective means of killing the Orchid Viper King is undoubtedly the poisonous gas, but the poisonous gas it sprays cannot be endless, but the death locusts seem to be endless, like a tidal wave.
Finally, the venom of the Orchid Viper King was finally squirted.
Without the protection of the Venom of the Orchid Viper King, the only remaining snakes around were quickly eaten up by a rush of death locusts, leaving only the lone Orchid Viper King.
As the Death Locusts continued to attack, the first Death Locust landed on the body of the Orchid Viper King, and they could not gnaw on the snake scales of the Orchid Viper King, so they crawled all over the body of the Orchid Viper King, looking for its weakness.
More and more death locusts jumped on the body of the Orchid Viper King, they were extremely fast wrapped around the Orchid Viper King, the copper skin and iron bones of the Orchid Viper King were really strong, and the strength of the Death Locusts could not leave a trace on it, they could only climb up the body of the Orchid Viper King.
The Orchid Viper King rolled and shook on the grassland, squashing the Death Locusts on his body, but more Death Locusts continued to pounce on him, completely enveloping the Orchid Viper King.
Finally, some dead locusts had already climbed the head of the Orchid Viper King, and they soon discovered the soft eyes of the Orchid Viper King, so they did not hesitate to burrow into the eyes of the Orchid Viper King, followed by the second and third ......
Although only a very small number of Death Locusts burrowed into the body of the Orchid Viper King, it was enough! The Death Locust passed through the body of the Orchid Viper King, and the Orchid Viper King began to shake violently, its eyes had begun to flow blood, and the eyes that were still radiating blue light just now became two blood holes, and two lines of blood remained along its golden abdomen.
The Orchid Viper King struggled violently, its arrogant head finally couldn't resist the pain in its body, and its whole body fell to the ground with a bang, and after a loud bang, the overlord of the Orchid Viper King was devoured alive by the little death locust!
The body of the Lanxiang Viper King slowly deflated, leaving only its still beautiful snake skin exuding amazing charm in the sun, Xia Hao, who inadvertently looked back and saw this scene, but he didn't feel the brightness of the sun at all, his heart was cold for a while, the overlords of the Lanxiang Viper King's generation were all folded in the hands of the Death Locust, which was really terrifying.
"Even a near-invincible existence like the Orchid Viper King has been devoured by the Death Locust, if you want to stop the King of the Night, I'm afraid the only way to ask for help is to ask for help from Free City!" Mu Qing said.
Xia Hao was still running wildly at this time, he glanced back at the situation in the distance in his busy schedule, and asked, "Does Liberty City have a way to deal with this death locust?" ”
"Free City, as a gathering place for hundreds of tribes in the Dark Forest, is very old, and there must be a way to crack the Death Locust!" Mu Qing also said confidently.
Xia Hao said: "Then we will go straight to Liberty City now!" ”
"You put me down!" Mu Qing suddenly said very firmly.
Xia Hao put Mu Qing down as he said and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Mu Qing's expression was solemn, he reluctantly stood up, then looked back at the army of death locusts that were getting closer and closer, and said, "You have to promise me one thing!" ”
As she spoke, Mu Qing's body shone with dazzling green light, condensing into a diamond-shaped emerald green crystal in front of her.
"Every citizen of Freecity has the spiritual power of the Free Covenant in their bodies, this is the spirit of the Freedom Covenant that I condensed at the cost of my life and belongs to the Wood Elf clan, you take it to Liberty City, place it on the Freedom Judgment Table, it will let all the people of Freecity see the evil deeds of the Night King!"
System: You trigger the Wood Fairy's request, do you accept the quest?
After Mu Qing condensed the spirit of the Free Covenant, his body had gradually become transparent, like a wisp of light smoke, which could collapse at any time.
Xia Hao knew that Mu Qing was obviously sacrificing himself, and he didn't have time to be sentimental, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you!" ”
"This Freedom Demon Crystal can lead you to find the teleportation array to Liberty City, for the sake of the people of Liberty City, you must rush to Liberty City!" As Mu Qing spoke, his body finally disappeared completely.
Mu Qing's sacrifice made Xia Hao sigh with emotion, although she was just a systematic character, Xia Hao felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Under the guidance of Mu Qing's condensed demon crystal, Xia Hao had a clear goal, and he moved forward as fast as he could.
Not long after walking along the grassland, a sapphire-like lake appeared in front of Xia Hao. According to the direction guided by the demon crystal, the teleportation array to Liberty City was a hundred meters east of the lake.
But as soon as Xia Hao approached the lake, he suddenly found that a thick white mist appeared in his field of vision.
The gray mist stretched against the ground, the further you went, the heavier the fog became, the more blurred the things around became, and there were strange sounds around, like something gnawing on grass, and like eating some corpse, the crisp sound of chewing bones made layers of cold sweat form on Xia Hao's back, and the chill continued to rise.
What's so strange about this fog?
In the thick fog, Xia Hao couldn't see his five fingers, so he could only wander around. In this mist, there was also a cold aura, constantly wanting to invade Xia Hao's consciousness, continuing to torture Xia Hao, and layers of cold sweat broke out in his body in just a few breaths!
"The Night King's army of death locusts is just behind, they will be chasing after them soon, I must find the teleportation array as soon as possible!" Xia Hao patted his face, trying hard to calm his head, and secretly encouraged: "I am the most handsome, no one can be more handsome than me!" What can I do with this white fog? ”
Xia Hao continued to move forward with his feelings, and at this moment, a chill hit, and then he was knocked out by a shadow.
System Prompt: You have been attacked by a Hidden Mist.
Hidden Mist Beast, this guy is the culprit who created the fog!
Xia Hao's eyes widened, and he immediately noticed that there was a figure faintly in the fog, and he hurriedly took out his war spear and flew up.
After the battle began, Xia Hao was also secretly frightened, the speed of the Hidden Mist Beast was very amazing, if it weren't for the Wood Fairy Clan's innate keen vision and strong body, he might not even be able to see the shadow of this guy!
The Hidden Mist Beast had a strong body, and it was like a phantom, constantly attacking Xia Hao.
I'm afraid I can't dodge this blow!
Looking at the Hidden Mist Beast attacking again, Xia Hao thought helplessly, at this time, he felt that the demon crystal in his hand moved, and a little light flew at an extremely fast speed, steadily hitting the head of the Hidden Mist Beast!
Arrows!
When that arrow light appeared, an illusory figure also appeared!
Muqing!
The sharp arrow light stabbed into the head of the Hidden Mist Beast, and it let out a roar and landed in front of Xia Hao.
After Mu Qing shot an arrow, the Hidden Mist Beast wanted to escape, but was stopped by Xia Hao in time, and there was also Mu Qing on the side to cheer, and the Hidden Mist Beast tried its best to escape, but it returned several times in vain, but there were some more scars on its body.
Finally, after a difficult struggle, Xia Hao slashed the Hidden Mist Beast under his sword, and the surrounding fog finally dissipated.
The figure that resembled Mu Qing also turned into a green light at this time and threw it into the demon crystal in Xia Hao's hand.
It turns out that this demon crystal still has this effect. Xia Hao was secretly happy in his heart.
After the mist dissipated, Xia Hao's eyes swept and found that not far from the royal blue lake, there was a shining teleportation array.
"This should be the teleportation array to Liberty City!" Xia Hao thought in his heart, and hurriedly ran towards the portal.
Just when Xia Hao was not far from the portal, a large number of death locusts suddenly flew out around the teleportation array!
Ambush?
Xia Hao's face changed, but when he glanced at it, he didn't find the figure of the Demon Night King, and those death locusts seemed to be just dancing around the portal, not letting people get close there.
"It seems that the Night King has long been prepared for someone to go to Liberty City through the teleportation array!" Xia Hao felt a chill in his heart, this Demon Night King's mind was too thorough.
For Xia Hao, it can be said that there are chasing soldiers behind and there are obstacles in front of him.
"I can only force my way through!" Xia Hao took out the truck, then got in, and rushed towards the swarm of death locusts after launching.
The truck was Xia Hao's last means of defense, he hadn't taken it out before, because he felt that it was not time to fight hard, and he didn't know if the truck could prevent the attack of the death locusts, so he decided to give it a try.
The appearance of the truck immediately attracted those death locusts guarding the teleportation array, but they only flew around the truck, turning Xia Hao's vision into pitch black, but they could not attack Xia Hao.
"Trucks can really keep out the dead locusts!" Xia Hao was not too happy, because he knew that even if he could rush to the teleportation array, he had to leave the truck in order to launch the teleportation array.
Xia Hao came to the teleportation array by feeling, at this time, he was surrounded by death locusts, and he couldn't see the light of the teleportation array at all, although it was separated by a truck, but the dense death locusts made people shudder.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Hao put away the truck and groped for the teleportation array.
As long as Xia Hao's palm touched the light of the teleportation array, he could activate the teleportation array.
However, the first to climb on Xia Hao's body was the Death Locust!
The moment Xia Hao left the truck, Xia Hao's body was crawling with death locusts, which opened their mouths and tore at Xia Hao's flesh and blood. Almost a moment's effort, Xia Hao was already covered in blood, and those death locusts were stimulated by the smell of blood, and became more irritable, especially those death locusts lying on Xia Hao's body, biting harder.
Xia Hao didn't dare to stay at all, even if the number of death locusts crawling on him increased, he still looked for the specific location of the teleportation array, now even for a second, it was extremely precious to Xia Hao, the longer he persisted, the greater the hope of survival!
Survival is human instinct, and at this moment, Xia Hao's desire for survival has reached the extreme, and he does his best to fight for a glimmer of life.
But Xia Hao's eyes were completely dark, and the vision of the Rao is wood goblin clan was outstanding, and Xia Hao couldn't see even the light of the teleportation array at all!
More and more death locusts crawled onto Xia Hao's body, Xia Hao was completely wrapped in death locusts, they tore open Xia Hao's skin, biting Xia Hao's flesh and blood, along with their movements, Xia Hao's body was full of blood, but this blood would soon be swallowed up.
Time seemed to slow down countless times at this moment, Xia Hao's face looked hideous and terrifying because of the pain, and the sound of the death locusts devouring his skin was clearly audible, and it was terrifying to listen to in his ears.
Is this the end of it?
Xia Hao's steps became more and more difficult because of the injuries on his body, he had been overwhelmed by the death locusts, and from a distance, he could no longer see Xia Hao's figure clearly, and he could only see a bunch of death locusts condensed and wriggling.
But Xia Hao still didn't give up, he was still looking for the teleportation array when he couldn't see with his eyes!
Just when Xia Hao's blood volume was about to be completely emptied, Xia Hao suddenly felt that his palm touched a special force!
It's a teleportation array!
Xia Hao desperately crashed into the teleportation array! (To be continued.) )
