Volume 1: The Age of Dawn Chapter 67: The Taste of the World

The blue star is divided into land and water by nine.

From space, the blue planet is dotted with a yellowish gray.

It is a magnificent, splendid and magnificent continent, carrying a long history, and is called a fantasy continent by hundreds of millions of living beings.

In the corner of the mainland, a team is shuttling through the depths of a silent and dark primeval forest, and the team members look tired.

The ancient trees are towering and dense and verdant. Above the forest, dense layers of branches and foliage are intertwined. The rare little sunlight that leaked out was like brightly colored insects, as if crawling on moss and withered leaves. The fallen leaves accumulated thick on the ground, and then the rain and snow drenched mold, emitting an unpleasant smell.

The procession walked through without hesitation, and the sound of "rustling" came from behind them. From above, they were heading in the heart of the forest.

The deeper you go, the denser the forest becomes. Suddenly, a strange and magnificent sight appeared in the team's field of vision. Countless towering ancient trees stand proudly, forming a towering tree wall, as if dividing the two worlds, and it is impossible to move forward.

"Mechwarrior, go ahead and get out of the way." The order came from the mouth of an old red-haired man.

"Yes, Your Holiness."

The two gray-clothed men of the team each took out a piece of talisman paper from their arms and tore it directly.

With a bang, two huge mechs appeared out of thin air.

The mecha is four meters tall and has a pitch-black skin. Two stout steel arms, one holding a steel greatsword and the other a giant alloy shield. The mecha shone brightly in the sunlight, shining brightly.

Suddenly, two mechs stuck their shields behind their backs, holding their giant swords in both hands, and swept across the obstacles in front of them.

Countless towering ancient trees snapped in response, and fell to the ground in a messy manner, and the dust was scattered.

The team's march slowed down as a result, leaving some respite.

"Venerable One, isn't it too strange here, we have encountered countless demonic beasts on the periphery, and they have experienced bloody battles. But there is no trace of the monster in the center, why is that? A young man in black armor and carrying a greatsword asked a complimented old man with long red hair.

"Boy, you talked a lot of nonsense along the way, and you have the worst spiritual power, is this your business! Go recover quickly, don't be tired for a while! The red-haired old man shouted angrily.

The young warrior was stunned by the yell, and immediately shrank his head.

"Old man, it's been more than ten years, and your temper is still so hot. This young man has also fought hard all the way. Besides, wasn't that the same with when you were younger? And he asked, you see, you are impatient. A majestic voice came from the mouth of a middle-aged man with a majestic spirit.

The red-haired old man snorted and said no more.

The middle-aged man continued: "Your name is Ren Jian, this is the Forest of Order, one of the four forbidden lands of Tianzhou. Outsiders call this place the Paradise of Warcraft, but they only see the surface of the Warcraft rampant. Many years ago, the Holy Alliance came across an ancient book, which was written in the era of gods and demons, and after a long time of decipherment, it finally came to the conclusion that this book recorded the residence of one of the four ancient gods, the god of order, which is here, the center of the forest of order. Our team's mission is to find the treasures left behind by the Temple of Order. Do you think about it, the majesty of the gods, is it something that these spiritless demonic beasts dare to offend? ”

The young man listened and nodded respectfully.

In the midst of a brief conversation, the obstacle ahead had been broken down by the mechs, and a huge opening had been made in the lush forest wall.

At this point, the personnel have been assembled. Ten warriors in black armor stood tall, and in front of the line stood the red-haired old man and the middle-aged man from before. It can be seen that the team is led by these two people.

"Warriors, we have come with the mission of the Alliance, and we will return with honor. There is no one in the dark ahead, but we must not back down. All for the Union. The old man roared in an old voice.

"For the Union, for the Union, for the Union." The ten people shouted in unison, raised the long swords in their hands together, and waved them wantonly, full of blood.

The young guard named Ren Jian below was looking at the majestic two people in front of him with extremely hot eyes. I secretly thought that one day, I would also become this kind of person, standing at the peak of the mainland.

The old man and the middle-aged man turned and went deep into the dense forest, followed by ten people and two mechs.

After the dazzling light dissipated, a desolate and simple aura came to the face. As the years passed, the silence of the temple was finally broken by the world, and its mystery was slowly lifted.

The former majesty and splendor of the temple have long since disappeared, and the end is a ruined wall. The ground was full of potholes, and at the base of the wall lay collapsed stumps. There are only dozens of mottled white stone pillars among the rocks, which are still standing in the sky, and the style of the year can be vaguely seen.

However, contrary to its dilapidated decline, in the center of the temple stands a golden-colored statue that exudes an incomparably noble imposing. Although it has been a long time, the style has not diminished.

This is a statue of the God of Order, with a peaceful face, dressed in battle robes, armor, and holding a sacred war spear. Majestic and majestic, the spirit is flying. What he represents is one of the pinnacle existences of the Age of Gods and Demons.

The red-haired old man looked at the statue reverently, and slowly bent down the old body, and the rest of the people followed him.

"We have no intention of offending your majesty, only to bring the lost treasure back to its light. The Holy Spirit is with me. The old man leaned over and said humbly.

At this time, what everyone didn't notice at all was that the statue's eyes turned slightly, and there was a strange blood-colored light inside.

After a while, the old man raised his head and said slowly: "In the distant era of gods and demons, our human race was extremely weak on the fantasy continent, and we often faced the invasion of demonic beasts, and the demon race was enslaved, and we had no place to stand. It was with the help of the gods that human beings were able to obtain the method of opening the spiritual veins and cultivating spiritual power. Defend the race, multiply. Therefore, when the battle came, our race supported the gods without hesitation, killed the demon king, and reached a reconciliation agreement with the demon clan.

It was a war that lasted for a thousand years, the gods were almost extinct, and more than half of the living beings on the continent were killed and wounded. But fortunately, the Demon King was beheaded, and the forces under his command were brought down one by one.

This war is known as the battle of gods and demons. Stretching for thousands of years, although the process is painful and unbearable, the ending is satisfying.

It is precisely in this way that we have been able to usher in an incomparably brilliant mechanical age, which is the best era for mankind in 10,000 years. ”

The red-haired old man talked eloquently and with great interest.

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded.

The rest of the young warriors listened with enthusiasm and aftertaste. Because these things are related to the secrets of the mainland, they are very new to them.

"Alright, let's get down to business." The order came from the middle-aged population.

"Yes, Master Fu." Everyone replied in unison.

The two of them searched methodically in a group, and every trace was explored, opening up the dusty years.

Time passed slowly, and the temple was scrutinized on all sides, but the team found nothing.

The sun was shining, the confidence and enthusiasm of the team seemed to be washed away by the sun, and a restless emotion was suppressed in the hearts of the players.

The red-haired old man had a gloomy face, and the Holy Alliance had spent many years on this matter, spending countless manpower and material resources, and visiting the Ten Continents Heavenly Eye three times at a great cost. Moreover, ten elite squads were formed, and equipped with the alliance's highest-end Tianba mecha, just to find the lost order artifact.

But now the inside of the temple was empty, except for the ruins and ruins. If nothing is gained, the losses of the expedition will be wasted, and chaos within the alliance may even occur.

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but be irritable, and waved his fist angrily.

At this time, a hand gently patted him on the back, "Wang Bingyan, I'm afraid we're in trouble, control your state of mind." The middle-aged man said with a solemn face.

The old man was startled, yes, although he had a fiery temper, but in just half a day, he was so impatient and irritable, and in such a sacred place. Thinking of this, he looked around, and the young warriors had impatient expressions on their faces, and a suppressed irritability lingered in them.

The old man nodded cautiously and said, "Su Zhonglin, I'm afraid this place is not as simple as we think. ”

"All staff stop probing and rest in place." Wang Bingyan said

"Lao Su, what do you think?"

"Old man Wang, you know that I am a talisman master, and my mental strength is strong. When I first entered, I felt something was wrong with the aura, and I didn't dare to assert it at the time, but now, I'm sure, there was an extremely tyrannical aura in the place. This place doesn't seem to be like a sacred place for gods, but rather a resting place for the ancient demon king! Su Zhonglin replied

One word stirred up a thousand waves.

Wang Bingyan's heart suddenly turned uproar, and he suddenly remembered the rumor, just as he was about to speak.

Suddenly, a mutation occurred. The floor of the temple trembled violently, and a crackling sound sounded from the ground, and in an instant, rubble flew all over the sky, and the broken pillars and walls fell one after another. The dilapidated temple was nearly destroyed.

A behemoth burst out of the ground, accompanied by a series of high-pitched and piercing screams, and soared into the sky. The monster was nearly 100 meters long, and under the ugly and hideous black head, it was a bloated crimson body, and the hard scales were covered with sharp bone spurs, which spewed outward, making its size appear even larger, and below it was a dense black giant foot, shaking at an extremely high frequency. It is surrounded by boundless evil energy, like a monster coming out of the depths of hell.

The warriors were all extremely stunned: "Although they have gone through bloody battles and killed countless demonic beasts, they boast of boundless courage. But they had never seen such a monster, and they did not have the courage to fight it. ”

"Damn, why is there such an ancient beast as the Thousand-Footed Demon Centipede. Their clan has long been extinct in the era of gods and demons, why! Wang Bingyan roared angrily.

"Open the aura barrier and be ready to sacrifice yourself at any time." Su Zhonglin quickly issued an order, and it was obvious that he didn't have much hope for dealing with this creature.

So, everyone moved to find their best position to fight.

The thousand-footed demon dragon didn't move, just looked at the little ant wriggling below casually, its red eyes full of banter and mockery.

Time passes, stalemate, stalemate. The members of the team clenched their swords, and the tension in their hearts could be seen in the beads of sweat that kept pouring down their faces. The two mecha warriors were on call at any time, and the middle-aged man and the red-haired old man looked solemnly at the huge beast. They did not dare to give orders to fight, preferring to spend it like this.

"Whoosh."

Strange noises shattered the eerie silence.

At this moment, the thousand-footed demon dragon moved, and it was extremely agile. It roared, flung its giant tail, and slammed it into the place where the three warriors were. They didn't even have time to dodge, so they could only inject all their spiritual energy into the barrier and raise their spiritual swords to defend.

With a bang, the dust flew, and a large pit of tens of meters was smashed out, and the scene inside the pit was extremely miserable.

Two spirit swords were smashed alive, and the other was stuck diagonally into the head of one person, their armor shattered, and scarlet blood spread wantonly, and all three died.

"Beast, die." Wang Bingyan jumped like thunder. The tragic death of the young man angered the old.

"Spiritual skill, Nine Pillars of Flame." The red-haired old man snorted. He raised his hands, and a fiery red appeared abruptly above him.

The air was suddenly extremely hot, and a circle of hundreds of meters of flame nets surrounded the thousand-legged demon centipede, and countless boiling pillars of fire fell from the sky, falling straight into the net one by one, and crashing into the body of the demon centipede.

The blazing heat, the endless pillars of fire, made the magic dragon tumble underground.

The boiling and tumbling flames seemed to roast the body of the demon dragon, and the flame net continued to shrink.

"Sss The magic dragon roared in the sky.

It jumped directly into the towering web of flames and disappeared without a trace.

Wang Bingyan laughed and quipped: "You guys are blessed, let's get ready to eat barbecue." ”

Hearing this, everyone was relieved.

"No, it's not that simple." Su Zhonglin said worriedly.

I saw that a huge hole in the flame net was torn open, and the thousand-footed demon dragon crawled out of it.

In the scorching of the infinite flames, its crimson body became brighter, its head slightly lowered, and the eyes of the fierce beast looked down at everyone. I saw it open its mouth and spew out a fireball tens of meters downward.

The warriors were terrified and scattered for hiding.

At this moment, a person rose into the sky, and a spirit rune floated in the air.

"Kai." Su Zhonglin drank lightly.

An illusory wall of boundless seals appeared out of thin air, blocking the murderous fireball.

There was a boom and a fireball exploded, and everyone was unscathed.

The demon dragon roared in dissatisfaction, boom, boom, boom, and it spat out three fiery fireball bullets in a row.

The three scorching sun-like balls slammed into the seal wall at great speed, ushering in Su Zhonglin's deep eyes, unfazed.

With a bang, the sparks scattered in the sky, gorgeous and bright.

Wang Bingyan smiled below: "It is worthy of being a Fu Zun, as soon as the honorable spirit rune comes out, it is like a wall to the sky." ”

The magic centipede opened its eyes like bronze bells, as if in disbelief, it moved its dense black feet, and quickly crawled to the edge of the seal wall, striking hard.

"Little centipede, after fighting for so long, it's time to rest." Su Zhonglin smiled casually.

With a wave of his finger, a spirit rune flew directly above the magic centipede.

He made a few knots with great speed, and then folded his hands.

"Confinement. Envelope. ”

The spirit rune burned, and a towering giant tower fell from the sky, directly pressing on the striking demon centipede. It looked up, its eyes full of fear.

The giant tower fell to the ground without a sound. The centipede was sucked in.

Under the scorching sun, the tower shone with a golden glow.

"Haha, the honorable seal, everything can be sealed, the old man is a long insight." Wang Bingyan said domineeringly.

The members of the team were full of admiration and gratitude, and they looked at the talisman with fiery eyes.

With a wave of Su Zhonglin's hand, the golden giant tower gradually shrank, and finally became a spirit rune engraved with a red centipede, which was simply a miniature version of the ancient beast, the thousand-legged demon centipede.

"Old guy, I've lost a lot this time, two supreme-level spirit runes, or precious defense and sealing spirit runes, my old bottom has been hollowed out. The amount of money you Holy Alliance has given me is far from enough. Su Zhonglin said angrily

"Haha, I'll definitely report to the alliance and compensate you as appropriate. And you've sealed an ancient beast, and if you sell it, you'll make a lot of money. Wang Bingyan said.

"Hehe, old man, I don't think it's that simple, this beast is too weak. According to records, this kind of murderous thing, in the era of gods and demons, can beat the existence of several emperors! We have a supreme realm, a Fu Venerable, even if it is hit hard, it is not invincible to us, this is too incredible. Moreover, why did such beasts appear in the place of the gods? Su Zhonglin said in a low voice.

Wang Bingyan thought about it, and stopped talking.

Su Zhonglin frowned, and said, "Why, Lao Wang, I came here this time to see your face, otherwise you think that the Holy Alliance can invite me, but I trust you, what do you want to hide from me?" What can't be said! ”

Wang Bingyan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Old Su, it's not what you think, what can I hide from you." It's just that I thought of a ridiculous remark that might have something to do with it, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"Say, maybe you'll have a clue."

"The place where the gods died is also the place where the demon king rests." Wang Bingyan said.

Su Zhonglin looked surprised.

"It's awkward, it's hard to understand, it's something I heard from a crazy old Taoist when I was traveling in my youth, and I thought it was strange at the time, so I wrote it down." Wang Zhonglin said lightly.

"The place where the gods died, the place where the demon king rested." Su Zhonglin muttered in his mouth, falling into deep thought.

Wang Bingyan turned his head to look at the soldiers who were placing the corpses, his expression darkened a little, and his eyes turned to the sky.

…………

"I seem to have thought of something, old man." Su Zhonglin said with a heavy face.

"Huh?" Thoughts are pulled back to reality.

"When the gods and demons are in war, which side are the beasts loyal to?"

Hearing this, Wang Bingyan suddenly woke up, and a monstrous wave turned in his heart, and he swallowed his throat with difficulty: "Where the demon king haunts, there will be fierce beasts with him." ”

Su Zhonglin nodded and said, "This is not a level that we can touch, let those old guys take care of it, and withdraw it." ”

Wang Bingyan thought about it and responded.

Just as he got up to gather his team, on the statue of order in the center of the temple, an extremely strange black spar drilled out from the top of the statue's head.

Everyone looked at this strange scene.

Wang Bingyan and Su Zhonglin were full of horror, and said with difficulty: "Demon Crystal! ”

"Quick, Sound Stone, request for support!"

There was a burst of shouting.

A warrior listened, and without the slightest doubt, took out the sound transmission stone on his back.

"Call, call, here's the exploration team, request for support, request for support."

The sound transmission stone sank into the sea, and there was no response in the slightest. The warrior continued to try.

Su Zhonglin's heart couldn't help but sink, it must have been interfered with by that damn magic crystal.

At this time, on the statue below the magic crystal, there was a boundless demonic qi surging, and a layer of terrifying aura came out of the statue.

"Little ants, welcome to me, hahaha." An eerie sound came from the idol.

"Burn, natal fire."

A blue flame that exuded a terrifying temperature scorched the magic crystal mercilessly.

The magic crystal flickered incessantly, as if it was about to be dissolved.

"Good nourishment."

The blue flames suddenly diminished, and gradually only a faint flame remained.

"Nope." A miserable cry came from Wang Bingyan's mouth. His face turned even paler.

"Nine thunderstorms." Su Zhonglin threw out three talismans.

Boom, countless terrifying Heavenly Thunder Pillars slammed into the Demon Crystal.

"Hmph, disgusting thunder and lightning. However, the attack is too weak. ”

The thunder and lightning roared, violently destroying the magic crystal, and the thunder net that spread for tens of meters made a tearing sound, declaring its majesty.

But the shard was still unscathed, flickering, forming small swirls around it, unscrupulously absorbing the thunder and lightning from the sky.

The thunder and lightning dissipated, leaving behind a desperate crowd.

"It's been so long, it's time to replace me." The strange sound came again.

I saw a surging demonic aura surging from the statue of the god, covering the sky.

The magic crystal suddenly exploded, and a three-meter-tall monster emerged from it.

Its whole body was covered with long black hair, two tentacles protruding from its hideous head, scarlet eyes, and a pair of blood-red wings on its back, and the demonic aura around it was monstrous and trembling.

"I, the Demon Lord of Chaos, Hasius, have returned to the world after a long eternity." Its strange mouth was open.

Wang Bingyan and Su Zhonglin smiled bitterly, they discovered the most secret thing in the era of gods and demons, this matter is probably related to the life and death of the mainland race, but then they met the demon king, I am afraid it is too late to make it public.

"Everyone, try your best to escape, and those who survive will report the Demon King's appearance to the Alliance." Wang Bingyan shouted angrily.

"Keep them all."

An invisible barrier of demonic energy covered the sky above the temple, and everyone unleashed their spiritual skills and tried to break it, but it was all in vain.

"Lao Su, you come to open the demon array, and we will deal with the demon."

"Okay."

"All warriors, it's time for us to fight for the Alliance." Wang Bingyan roared.

"Formation, mechwarrior charge."

Two huge mechs moved, and a giant cannon appeared on their chests.

Launch, thunderstorm.

Two beams of light struck Hasius straight at him, and the two mechs charged with their giant swords.

Hasius withstood the cannon fire unscathed. I saw it wave its arms to resist the giant sword.

Boom, the monster arm collided with the giant sword, the dust flew, and the huge impact caused the two mecha to fall into the sky, and the demon king did not move.

The demonic energy condensed, and two Void Demon Dragons shot out of Hasius's hands.

With a bang, the mecha exploded, and shards of steel poured down with flesh and blood.

"It's kind of interesting, it's your human masterpiece, it's a pity it's too weak." It screamed.

The death of their comrades aroused the anger of all the living, and they stared fiercely at the monster in front of them with blood-red eyes.

"Combined Spirit Skill, Giant Spirit Sword Slash."

The seven members of the team raised their swords, and a huge spirit sword formed above it.

They are all people who have awakened the golden spirit vein, they are sword cultivators, and they are also powerhouses in the Grandmaster Realm, and the power of this combined attack technique can be cut by half a step sage.

"Boring."

Hasius looked at the giant sword in the air, didn't even move, opened his mouth, and swallowed the giant sword directly into his abdomen.

The hearts of the people were like ashes.

"Die, beast." A burst of applause.

Wang Bingyan's natal spiritual fire was absorbed by the magic crystal, so he kept accumulating strength and finally broke out.

"Firefall."

Countless huge meteorites that covered the sky, flames wrapped like tails, fell from the sky.

A violent explosion rang out, and the temple was riddled with holes. Countless large pits appeared, and flames grew.

From the thick smoke of gunpowder, a huge figure walked out.

The Demon Lord of Chaos, Hacius, stretched out its arms as if stretching.

"I'm not playing with you anymore, this king still has something to do. Little centipede, don't be lazy, come out! ”

At this time, Su Zhonglin, who was frantically attacking the demon wall with spirit runes, turned pale and spit out a mouthful of blood.

A spirit rune flew out of its bosom uncontrollably, tearing apart.

A monster fell, and it was a thousand-legged demon centipede.

"Old thing, you should die." An indifferent voice came.

A strong demonic aura struck, Wang Bingyan looked at it, and shook his head bitterly, his aura was exhausted, and he couldn't even open the aura barrier.

At this time, Su Zhonglin was seriously injured and had no time to save him. The red-haired old man was desperate.

At this moment, a figure stood in front of him, resisting the attack of demonic energy with flesh and blood.

It was Ren Jian, who had a hole punched out of his chest, and blood was pouring out.

"Great, sir, definitely, must go back." He said in fits and starts.

His eyes lost their former brilliance, and he tilted his head and fell to the ground to die.

Not long ago, this young life had fantasized about becoming a strong man, but the reality was cruel and changeable, and he had to make such a choice for the sake of the team's hope of survival. This may be the sacrifice of life in the eyes of others!

"Ren Jian." A terrible voice rang out.

Wang Bingyan roared: "Devil, today, I will kill you." ”

He was furious, his hair stood on end, and his body burned with red flames

"Take life as the guide, burn the sky."

In an incredible scene, Wang Bingyan's body gradually turned into a cluster of burning flames, mixed with angry emotions, vigorously, and went straight to the Demon King.

Hasius grinned, and with a clawing of his big arm, the flames turned to ashes.

A flame as brilliant as the sun sublimates in an instant.

Extremely cruel, Wang Bingyan fell.

Su Zhonglin closed his eyes and hung his head weakly.

"Let's all die."

Several demonic qi struck everyone, and in the face of incomparable power, they could only despair.

Explore a team that is all killed.

Hasius flew into the sky, countless black hairs tangled. It looked into the distance and said, "That great being will eventually come, and at that time, all the living beings of the continent will bear its boundless wrath. ”

With that, he waved his wings and flew off into the distance.

The sun was shining in the distant sky, and looking down from the sky without the slightest cloud, in the middle of a quiet primeval forest, a huge black centipede like a majestic mountain range, was crawling slowly, and everywhere it went, the trees were intertwined and broken...... Dirt and gravel shot out in all directions along its path, thousands of huge gastropods staggered and undulating to the ground, and cracks in the earth spread like cracks in the ice......

………………

Tianzhou, the headquarters of the Holy Alliance.

The city in the sky, suspended in the air. It is one of the most representative holy cities of the human race.

According to the history of fantasy, the city in the sky is the only floating city of the human race since the mechanical revolution. It symbolizes freedom and hope, and can withstand all enemies.

The light will live forever, and the darkness will eventually dissipate.

The morning sun is rising, the warm sunlight shuttles through the breath of the gap, the holy city is dressed in golden yellow, and the city is filled with a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere.

In the center of the Holy City, a round carved pillar rises from the sky, it is the Hall of the Sage Council, the center of the Union's power.

At this time, a golden-armored warrior hurried towards the inner sanctum at the highest point of the carved pillar. This is the council of the Alliance's Big Three.

"Report, all members of the expedition team have died."

The resplendent hall was empty, and there was a long silence.

"Why?" An old voice sounded, not losing its majesty.

"It's not clear yet, it's just that the surrounding demonic qi is entangled, and there are large demonic beasts infested."

The golden-armored warrior replied a little crampedly.

"Demonic energy!" Three voices almost rang out.

A long silence ensued.

"That's it, this matter is under my command, and I will investigate it myself."

A majestic figure looms.

Then, a black light rose into the sky and then vanished.

The golden-armored warriors retreated, and the hall fell into silence again.
