Chapter 231: Wind Chimes Echoing in the Forest (End)
"Click! Click! As the crackling of wooden planks continued to sound, Chen Kai and the others saw more undead elf arms appear on the gate entwined with tree roots, which were pulling from the outside and trying to grab anything they could.
This scene is seen in almost every zombie or zombie movie, but now it's just a movie and a game. At the same time, what held these monsters back was not the barbed wire with gaps, but the roots of trees that looked a little fragile. Wooden planks turned into shards and fell under Chen Kai's eyes, and more undead elves tried to jump into the room with pale eyes.
In less than a minute, the giant sword in Chen Kai's hand had at least cut down at least four or five undead who had burrowed most of their bodies into the room. It's just that the severed body doesn't mean that this undead will die, if there is no divine power to destroy the other party's body, those limbs that fell in the council hall will continue to attack Chen Kai and them.
Chen Yi's aura had already opened, constantly attacking those undead with the power of divine purification, but even if these undead were burned by divine magic, they still did not stop destroying. The thick roots and vines were constantly torn apart, but fortunately, a few elven elders desperately spawned and even directly used spells to spread the roots out to entangle hundreds of undead. Aronel felt very sad when he looked at the undead elves entwined by the roots of the trees, there was no doubt that these undead were all residents of Lorraine Elite, and he could even recognize a few familiar people from them.
But now the two sides stood on two sides of the line of defense made of vines, one representing the remnants of the living and the other of the hideous dead. Therefore, no matter how uncomfortable Aaron and the other elven elders were, they still used extremely vicious spells to entangle these undead to death. Of course, in order to maintain the growth of these vines, Chen Kai once again contributed some fountains of life, but there were still a lot of these fountains of life in Chen Kai's backpack that were enough for these elven mages to squander.
If it weren't for the bath water that was taken out of the Demon Queen's bathtub, it is estimated that there would be no way to squeeze these elven elders out of the vines that grew in the potted plants in the council hall into such a terrifying defensive weapon. After a large number of undead were entangled, Chen Kai and the others breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know how long these roots can last, but it's always possible to support everyone for at least a few minutes.
When Chen Kai and the others were trapped in the council chamber of the City of Wind Chimes. The harrier eagle that had been released by Sulace had slowly landed in another city hundreds of kilometers away from the City of Wind Chimes. The falling harrier eagle was easily picked up from the ground by the sentinels who ran after the harrier eagle. However, before he could check the letter tied to the harrier eagle, he heard a hurried alarm bell in his ears.
The time when the alarm bell rang was almost the same as the time when the huge wind chimes rang in the city of wind chimes, in fact, it is estimated that the elven city lord of Aaron did not know about this situation, and the only one who sounded the alarm bell was basically the elven city with the ancient tree of life. Because all of the Ancient Trees of Life actually come from the World Tree, they are almost identical in their roots. Therefore, when a city planted with an ancient tree of life is attacked, the bell rings in other cities with an ancient tree of life, which has not happened for almost a thousand years.
In fact, it is estimated that even the necromancer who used the city of wind chimes as a chessboard did not know this, because if he knew, he would never choose to attack at Lorraine Illit. Originally, the necromancer thought that this place was so far remote, belonging to the northeastern border of the Elven Empire, and most importantly, there was an ancient tree of life, which was the most coveted thing by the necromancer. If it weren't for the Ancient Tree of Life, why would this necromancer nest in the Elven Realm, and it would have been dormant for more time than you could have imagined. It's just because of the ancient tree of life. His actions were valued by the entire Elven Empire.
Because the Ancient Tree of Life is too important to the Elven Empire, there is only one Ancient Tree of Life that the entire Elven Empire has. If this necromancer had the idea of the Tree of Life, perhaps this would not be the case, because although the Tree of Life is rare, it is not connected to the ancient trees of life in the entire Elven Empire. Therefore, when Runmaran was attacked, the Elven Empire needed layers of information to know about the terrible things in the village located on the northeastern border. However, the towns with the Ancient Tree of Life are different, even the youngest Ancient Tree of Life is linked to the Ancient Tree of Life of the entire Elven Empire, once a Ancient Tree of Life is attacked, it will send an alarm to the cities with Ancient Trees of Life in all directions at the moment when the alarm bell rings.
When the alarm bell rang, the sentinel holding the harrier eagle quickly rode towards the place where the alarm bell rang, and the ancient alarm bell made the entire elven empire begin to wake up. If Barbat's attack on Runmaran was a slash in the flesh of the ancient Elven Empire. So now Keno, the necromancer, is acting like digging the foundation of the Elven Empire. The former attracted the wrath of the Elven Empire, but it was not a crazy revenge, while the latter, that is, the actions of the Keno Mage, were as if they wanted the life of the Elven Empire. Almost at the moment when the bell rang, the demigods who had been said to be sleeping in the Ancient Tree of Life in several important cities of the Elven Empire opened their eyes at the same time.
These elven demigods had only recently wreaked havoc on Ness with the power sealed in Nero's necklace. Almost smashed the opponent's realm world, but this time he found that a necromancer had run to his own territory to make trouble. Although these elven demigods were trapped in the Ancient Tree of Life, they would basically be doomed as long as they came out of the Ancient Tree of Life, but as long as they were within the scope of the Ancient Tree of Life, they were almost equivalent to gods.
When they opened their eyes, these ancient trees of life instantly emitted a rich green light of life. The leaves began to sway like emeralds. These rich life forces finally converged, forming a majestic aura comparable to the power of the gods, and shot towards the Ancient Tree of Life of Lorraine Illit. When Chen Kai and the others were trapped in the conference hall, an emerald green cloud in the distant sky was rapidly drifting over. Finally, as the wyvern flew slowly, it landed on the huge ancient tree of life.
The next moment, Chen Kai and the others suddenly found that the Ancient Tree of Life not far above their heads suddenly emitted a rich green light, and then one by one the elven projections shining with green light appeared above their heads out of thin air. There was no doubt that when these green shadows appeared above the Ancient Tree of Life, Keno, who was slowly drinking red wine, instantly spurted a mouthful of blood-colored wine directly from his nose.
"This is Raippi! Rascally!! "There is no doubt that in the eyes of a certain necromancer who treats the whole of Lorraine Illit as a chessboard, the actions of these elven demigods are complete cheating. But regardless of whether the other party cheated or not, when these hidden elven demigods appeared, even if the other party was projection Keno, a necromancer, he could only roll up the cover and prepare to sneak away. He is a mage, and he is also a necromancer that everyone shouts at, if he doesn't run away now and wait for someone to find out, then there is no doubt that it will be too late. Running away like this would likely be a sneering for Ness. But no matter how shameful you are, it's better than losing your life.
"This time you are ruthless, but next time it may not be!" Dropping this cruel sentence, Kino directly tore open the space door and prepared to sneak away at the moment when the projections of several elven demigods were not completely constructed, but the next moment, the rich natural power directly tore through the void and projected it towards his location.
"Don't want to run! You damn necromancer!! The blow from the enraged was absolutely terrifying, and even the entire sky was lowered by the attack, and the only feeling that Keno had in the middle of it was that this time it looked like he was going to bleed profusely. It's just that he is definitely not a person who dares to fight hard, as a very life-saving necromancer, he has almost cultivated the ability to escape to the extreme. In fact, Keno is the only one of the several undead spellcasters in the Dark Council who has not used his new body, and his body is still the same as the original, which is a very strange and even miraculous thing among necromancers.
After all, with the means of a necromancer, they could occupy a fresh and young body at any time. Instead of using his old and decaying body, but in Keno's opinion, such behavior is not much. Necromancers are supposed to have fun fiddling with corpses, but that pleasure shouldn't extend to fiddling with their own bodies.
In order to protect his body, Kino wore a robe covered with various protective spells, and when he tore open the spatial door, he felt that he was locked by some kind of power. Therefore, he did not hesitate to activate the protective spell on his body, directly threw his magic robe out, and then curled up into a ball and rolled directly into the space gate.
When the terrifying attack collided with the robe thrown by Kino, the entire city of wind chimes trembled in an instant, and a huge roar and terrifying shockwave spread out in all directions. Chen Kai in the conference hall, the only thing they felt was an earthquake. The ground trembled with terror trembling. Although this tremor was short-lived, it was very destructive, at least Chen Kai heard the sound of houses collapsing.
"I hope this chamber will hold up!" Chen Kai leaned against the wall and said softly, and then saw that there was suddenly a clear crack on the wall beside him. The cracks that spread in all directions seemed to several people to be almost doomsday.
"I'll go! Chief! You've got a mouth for a crow! Fei Yun looked at the cracked wall and quickly waved his hand towards the ecliptic, but this kind of crack could not be repaired even if there was more zodiacal magic. The only thing he could do was stuff the cracks with rocks to make it look less hideous, but it didn't help the overall structure of the walls at all.
"......" Looking at the wall full of cracks, Chen Kai covered his mouth very depressed. And when he looked up, the shadows of the elves that appeared above his head had disappeared, as if they had never appeared. Except for that terrifying roar, and now the cracks in the walls. It's as if nothing happened.
But whether it was Chen Kai who stayed in the council hall or the undead who stayed outside and lost control, they all knew that the situation was different, and the necromancer Keno who rolled into the space door also knew that the situation was different. After a burst of spatial fluctuations, he rolled out of the spatial door in an extremely wolf manner, and the terrifying natural power that had just landed on his front foot erupted outward from the spatial door like a fountain.
After laying a dozen protective spells in front of him, the necromancer was able to block the terrifying aftermath of the attack, and he himself was blasted out of the path by the impact for a full hundred meters before stopping. When the necromancer wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth, he had a smile on his face that would last his life.
"! If you want my life as Lord Keno, you elves of Rippi are not qualified! Anyway, where is this? It was only at this moment that the necromancer slowly came back to his senses, as if the spatial door he had opened in a hurry was random, and the huge pyramid-like structure not far behind him had never been seen before. What made him feel even more stunned was the figures around him who gradually gathered around, as a mage, he could clearly feel the strong magic power on the other party's body, and those artistic magic tattoos made the undead spellcaster born of this mage feel surprised.
However, although the necromancer was surprised by these mages with magic tattoos, it did not prevent him from judging the situation and noticing that he was not in a good situation. So he subconsciously wanted to tear open a space door and leave. But to his horror, he found that the void around him was imprisoned.
"Confinement!! Silent!! "As the two ancient divine spells fell on this necromancer, the undead spellcaster, who occupied an important seat in the Dark Council and was almost a demigod, fell to the ground like a dead dog.
"Broken... Spellbreaker! Seeing the two guards in purple-gold armor walking towards him, the necromancer's body that had been transformed into an undead body began to tremble uncontrollably. For mages, the period of ancient magical civilization was their most glorious time, when the people who dominated the earth were not gods but mages, but because of this, in order to suppress some evil mages, those who controlled the ancient magic civilization created a new profession - lawbreakers.
They wear armor that resists spells, they wield weapons that can break most spells, and most importantly, they only master two special divine grammars: one is imprisonment and the other is silence. Imprison the magic of the mage, silence the caster's ability to chant spells, and thus turn the brittle mage into a dead dog. It can be said that as long as it is a high-level mage, it will know that the mage council that once ruled the earth. He also knows the existence of the most powerful minions of the Mage Council, the Spellbreaker.
Even now, the Mage Council also exists, and the inheritance of the profession of Spellbreaker continues, and it is precisely because of this that Keno instantly recognizes these two guys with special weapons. But the problem is that the current spellbreakers in the Mage Council are as weak as quails, and it is simply impossible to deal with Keno, who is almost a demigod, not to mention that just chanting two spells will make this necromancer fall to his knees in an instant. Therefore, Kino could be sure that the two spellbreakers in front of him were definitely not those soft-footed shrimp raised by the Mage Council now, and when he saw the runes of the ancient magical civilization not far away, his pale face instantly became even more ugly, but he began to rejoice again.
For any mage, the ancient magical civilization is the most glorious and splendid years of the mage, as long as the mage knows this history, he can't wait to be born in that era. It was an era when the gods were used as test subjects, and the demons were used as tools to enslave. As a mage, Keno naturally hopes to be born in that era, although necromancers were also not recognized in that era, but at least it is much better than being hunted down and almost hiding now. In fact, the biggest reason why Keno joined the Dark Council is also to be able to live in the sun and no longer be chased and killed like a dog. Only for a place that has become a dark council. Keno was very unhappy, and he wanted to study the Ancient Tree of Life in the hope of rejuvenating his body and regaining life, so he ran to the Elven Empire and spent years arranging it.
But now everything that was arranged was shattered, but he saw traces of ancient magical civilization. And it's a very complete kind. So even though Keno looked a little ugly when he fell to the ground, he had a crazy smile on his face. It was a smile of excitement, only the next moment he was dragged away by the two spellbreakers like a dead dog.
As for the necromancer who led the city of wind chimes and tens of thousands of elves who suffered a tragedy, Chen Kai didn't know what the ending was. All they knew was that they looked like they were going to be out of luck. Although these necromancers had lost their control, in order to take revenge on the elven demigods, the necromancer gave the order to attack all living creatures frantically before running away.
Therefore, Chen Kai's face was quite ugly now, because those undead elves who were blocked out were frantically hitting the wall. Looking at the increasingly cracked council hall, Chen Kai clenched his weapon tightly and prepared to meet the undead who rushed in.
"! Who were those guys just now, and who were the bastards who caused the earthquake just now! Fei Yun really wanted to catch the guy who caused the earthquake and beat the other party hard, if it weren't for the other party, the current council hall would definitely not crack even if it wasn't impregnable.
"That's it! Even if you know it, you can't do anything about each other, that's definitely the guy standing on the top of the world! Chen Kai shouted at Fei Yun, and then looked at a wall that seemed to be about to collapse, he didn't know what the situation was outside now, if he knew, he would definitely be happy about it. Because now the huge Ancient Tree of Life is slowly exuding spatial fluctuations, and one after another elves are slowly coming out of the Ancient Tree of Life.
The huge Ancient Tree of Life acts as a flash, and a huge space gate can transport the troops of the Elven Empire to any place in the empire that has the Ancient Tree of Life, of course, the consumption of the power of the Ancient Tree is very huge, basically transporting a few thousand people will consume the power accumulated by the Ancient Tree of Life for hundreds of years.
However, the elven troops of thousands of people were enough to crush tens of thousands of enemies, because those who could use the Ancient Tree of Life to transport were undoubtedly the most elite forces of the Elven Empire. When the first group of elven cavalry appeared on the land of Lorraine Illit, they began to sing ancient songs and rushed towards the enemy in front of them with the elven knives in their hands.
"To let them rest in peace!!" It was the roar and the cry of grief from the elves, who killed none other than their undead compatriots as they wielded their long knives. Looking at the undead who still maintained their elven appearance, many elven knights had difficulty raising their swords, but in the end they swung them down in a roar.
The wind chimes produced by the chimes swaying in the wind mixed with the old songs sung by the elves filled the moment with sadness, and the wind chimes in the lush woods of the city never stopped, like an elegy to the dead elves. (To be continued......)
