Chapter 635: The crisis returns, and Crystal City sees the light of day again
Before the demon man could finish his words, he saw an arc-shaped vortex appear in the middle of the cliff that had been split in half.
The swirl, which shimmered in light blue arcs, swirled with light, emitting a sword-like pattern in all directions. Heaven and earth dimmed at this time, like a bowl filled with water rippling spiritual energy in all directions, and a "yuan" character rose into the air and flickered.
Qin Hao clenched his hands into fists, looking at the energy fluctuations that flowed out like spider silk threads between the water source in front of him and the door.
Just as Qin Hao was surprised, hundreds of crystal skeletons walked out of the whirlpool, and they waved the ice-blue bows and arrows in their hands to guard the expeditionary force and those demon warships in the sky.
The scene was at a stalemate for a while, and Qin Hao no longer even paid full attention to those demons who had already been defeated, because he felt a powerful force field on those archers.
The archers were followed by seven priests in robes with stone staffs in their hands.
"Who are you? I felt the breath of High Priest Estini...... "Behind the sacrifice, a crystal skeleton man with a bow and arrow looked this way.
It's not so much looking over as turning its head this way. Although he couldn't see clearly, Qin Hao could feel sadness from her eyes, and even felt that her eyes were just decorations.
"Ainina?" Estini stepped out of the crowd and shouted at the archer in the distance, "Is that you?" ”
"You really are Estini! The High Priest is alive! The Crystal Skeleton Man archer raised his hands upwards and cheered, "Thank you, Danur!" ”
With her shouting, those sacrificial expressions became extremely respectful? Rising up, they silently chanted magic: "Danika...... ...... Llamas Nick... Antonda! ”
With the sound of chanting, an aqua blue lotus petal appeared in front of it, which was originally only the size of a palm, spun rapidly and sped towards Estini, and when it was about to meet the high priest of Estini, the petal turned into a dark blue ribbon.
Hidden in the distance of the Danur Tidal Lake, countless ice-blue crystal petals fly in the air on both sides of the ribbon.
High Priest Estini slowly stretched out his finger forward, and the next moment the human-like face gradually peeled off and degenerated, and the entire skull turned into crystal.
The dark blue ribbon curled around the High Priest's body and sped towards the Crystal Man. The ancient triangular rune that had protected her from wandering across time to Earth shone like a star above her head.
Ai Nina felt the unusually familiar aura, and bent down to salute: "Aina Kalein greets the High Priest!" Welcome home! ”
"Meet the High Priest! Welcome home! The archers fell to their knees and slammed into the ground. He looked at the high priest like a god.
"Today's expeditionary allies are gathered here, and the once closed Crystal City is reopened today! I, the Danurs, will rise! ”
High Priest Estini flattened his hands forward and took the triangus from Anina's hands.
Under the blessing of the triangular prism light, a layer of silver armor appeared on the high priest's body, and two light purple crystals slowly rotated around his shoulders. Behind him, a light purple shield slowly emerged, and in it there was a dark blue water source.
"All crystal archers ready! Martial law Danur Tidal Lagoon! "High Priest Estini gave a command to the Crystal Skull archers.
Then she stretched out her hand towards Qin Hao and Xia Duoduo: "Welcome to my Crystal City from the expedition!" ”
"Yes! High Priest! The archers galloped into the distance, expanding the entire line to a hundred miles around Nurhu.
In fact, after the first battle of the expeditionary force, the three strongest Devilman strongholds were completely breached, the battleship was destroyed, and the Ursa Major Worm people loyal to the Devilman were strangled and slaughtered.
Those weak demons retreated on all fronts, and even those demons who received the news and came to support at the first time simply retreated two hundred miles after hearing that the entire army on the front line was wiped out, so they simply retreated two hundred miles and established a defensive position in the Tanillac Mountains, the highest point on the planet Tannik.
With the exception of the Storm Troopers' elite convoys, the rest of the mage units camped in place. Good for the view around the tidal lake
Broad, it even took down the two cliffs, which were occupied by the Muyue Guardian Crusader Vanguard and the Martian Holy Light Crusader Avenger Alliance, and established the Holy Light Detection Matrix.
At the invitation of the High Priest, Qin Hao and Xia Duoduo entered the Crystal City. Completely different from the human defenses, this is a city-state carved out of a huge crystal mountain range, as the name suggests.
The entire city-state is a three-dimensional three-tiered structure, with the outermost edge being the archers' defensive line, the middle floor being the residents' quarters and jewelry shops, and the mouth level being the command apparatus and schools.
Thanks to the crystal's refractive index of light, it does not appear dark in the city-state. Instead, the entire city is sprinkled with romantic elegance of light purple.
Despite this, the desolation could not be concealed, and the cross-shaped road stretched from the command apparatus to the defensive line. Except for those winding paths, the main road is tight enough for three people to walk side by side, and the ground is even more potholed and rugged.
"My lord, the conditions here are quite simple, please Haihan, my lord." The high priest said with an apologetic look on his face.
"It's okay, if you have something to deal with, you can do it first." Qin Hao shook his head slowly, and only then did he say when he saw the crystal people talking towards the high priest.
Although Xia Duoduo's gossip heart is burning, he also knows that the current high priest has returned to the tribe and is no longer the crystal cat who was coerced by himself. I'm afraid now she has a lot to say and do. He and Qin Hao have always been outsiders, and there is a lot of inconvenience here, so he pulled Qin Hao towards the distance.
"Thank you Guardians for your concern, we'll talk about it later, and there is nothing to hide from the current battle situation, on the contrary, we should thank the two Guardians for leading the expeditionary force to recover Tannic." The high priest bowed to Qin Hao and Xia Duoduo and said very sincerely.
"In this case, it is still mainly about consolidating the battle situation." Qin Hao thought that the expeditionary force had already established a defensive line on the two mountain cliffs, and even captured the two-moon position around the mountain cliffs in one fell swoop.
"What the Guardian Lord said is to order the archers to be stationed at a hundred miles of the Holy Lake! Order your scout squad to attack and connect with the clans! Order the High Priest to go to the Island of Hearts to rebuild the temple! The High Priest quickly analyzed the situation, and in a moment thought of a response.
"Back to the High Priest, the Ice Crystal Turtle bloodline has been passed down." Ainina, who was on the side, said in a trembling voice, as a hunter, she naturally knew that the ice crystal turtle was such an excellent companion, not to mention that these little turtles were all descendants of her partner.
"Have the turtles grown up?" Estini recalls the moment when he dragged the corpse of the Ice Crystal Turtle back to the Lake of Hearts, and his mood instantly relaxed.
"Excellent! Very good! Perhaps the High Priest and the human have been in the voice for too long, even in the form of a crystal skeleton, Xia Duoduo can still feel endless joy from it: "The archers will not be lonely in the future%"
"My lord, apart from us, there are still several rebel armies in Tannik, one of which is the Winged Maiden. It's just that their situation is not good, and even after their leader was imprisoned, the whole morale became sluggish and no longer stopped a decent attack. It's like a complete disintegration. ”
A priest beside Ainina stepped forward and whispered to the high priest, after learning that Qin Hao and Xia Duoduo were here to help her, looking at these friends who had made good friends with the high priest, the stone hanging in her heart also fell to the ground.
These warriors are very powerful, even more powerful than the Zerg and Devilmen left behind by Tannick now. It may not be long before the whole territory of Tannic will be liberated, but these adults will not stay here for long, even the Tennic expedition Virgo galaxy with Tannic as a springboard, or even the constellation Ursa Major that has become a forward base for the Zerg.
"Winged maidens, they're still here?" The High Priest thought of the coalition forces that had been allied with the Crystal Skeletons with a smile on his face, if the Winged Maiden could regain air supremacy again, use her strong magical affinity to summon sacred magic arrows to pierce the body of the Ursa Grada Worm, and use her agility to break through the encirclement of the Great Bear Cicada...... Natanic would be liberated again in a very short time.
It's just that now that the leader of this viress is in captivity, it seems that it is time to act.
"Yes, sir! In addition, the ice wall gate has become precarious under the day and night attacks of the Zerg, and the magic barrier should be opened as soon as possible to clear the Zerg, or at least reinforced. The other priest glanced at Aina and lowered his head and whispered.
High Priest
Ainina, who was still the leader of the Crystal Skulls at the time, chose to smash the scepter key refined by the Virgin Lord when she was facing the pain of losing her child......
"Just insert this key into the crystal ball, and the ice wall door will open......" The Virgin Lord's words were still fresh in his memory.
Obviously, it's time to retrieve those key fragments and reforge them to enter the magical barrier, and only by solving the Zerg behind the ice wall that has been imprisoned for countless years can the Zerg threat be completely eliminated.
"Lord Hui, the Calamity Legion has enslaved other tribes on a large scale, allowing slaves to mine, build furnaces, and build space battleships. After more than a thousand years of continuous warfare, Tannik's resources are rapidly depleting, and the Calamity Legion has built dozens of soul towers in the Demon Domain. The specific number and location have not yet been ascertained. ”
A young crystal skeleton leaned forward and said worriedly.
"What do you think, Guardian?" After hearing this, the high priest nodded, but instead did not answer, and instead whispered to Qin Hao and Xia Duoduo.
"What do you think?" Xia Duoduo stared at those crystal skeletons for a long time, never understanding the difference between them wearing similar sacrificial robes: "Can you show a sign with your name or whatever, you look like this now, I can't tell who is who?" ”
"Forehead ......", those crystal skeletons don't know what Xia Duoduo is talking about, it is extremely easy for them to distinguish another person, and there is no face blindness.
"Hmm," the High Priestess nodded, she understood Xia Duoduo's worries, and when she first arrived on Earth, every human couldn't tell the difference. She thought for a moment about how she could identify the situation at the time, and then said in a deep voice: "Those who can illusory show your characteristics, those who cannot hallucinate, please write your name on your face or wear different ornaments or clothes and weapons!" ”
With the voice, she took the lead in transforming into the handsome middle-aged woman.
The priests glanced at each other, and then transformed into Terrans of different shapes, decorations, and ages.
Just when Qin Hao and Xia Duoduo were amazed by the power of the Crystal Skeleton Man's face pinching system, Ainina also conjured up a huntress with a mask and a sassy demeanor.
Those guards have successively conjured up more alternative Terrans according to these artificial standards, tall, short, fat and thin, handsome and ugly. I don't know why, the Three-Eyed Terran is popular among these crystal skeleton people.
"Maybe this is the fashion trend in their eyes," Xia Duoduo whispered, looking at the crystal skeletons who were sweating profusely and had to transform into a series of characters, they seemed very sad, and didn't even want to accept the fact that they couldn't transform into such fashionable people.
In the end, what Qin Hao and Xia Duoduo didn't even expect was that they would march into the Virgo galaxy with the expeditionary force to subdue the entire planet. The Crystal Skull people high society began to form a fashion to transform into a human race, and those famous families even took the transformation into a space soldier as the supreme glory.
Those Crystal Skeletons who failed to transmogrify or even did not have transmogrification cells lost their original status.
However, after experiencing this subtle inspiration and clan shuffle, the expeditionary force has become more like a fish in water. Although there are still some deficiencies in language communication, I have learned about the Crystal Skull's mental senses, and I generally know what they are referring to.
"Now the main thing is to consolidate the tidal lake area and withstand the counterattack of the demons and the Zerg. We use this as an opportunity to regain the operation. As for the Gorgo leader of the bailout, there is no need to be in too much of a hurry. After analyzing the current situation, Qin Hao chose to defend and counterattack.
"Yes, rescue should not be rushed, so as not to cause unnecessary impact on the hostages." Xia Duoduo nodded in agreement: "As for those captured tribes, we will stop by and save them when we expand the defensive circle, which is not the key first task now. ”
"Then, Lord Guardian...... What to do with the Zerg behind the ice wall? Once they break through the ice wall, the area where the Tidal Lagoon is located will face their main attack. Aenina felt ashamed and uneasy at the thought of her recklessness that had broken the key to pieces.
"This ...... It's the first mission at the moment! Qin Hao took the map of the location of the two sides drawn by the high priest who was assisting on one side.
