Chapter 113: The Underworld XIII
But seeing that the Spirit King turned around, bursts of golden light faintly emanated from his hands, and in the blink of an eye, the destroyed throne was restored again. After he sat down, he spoke, "Before that...... Have you ever heard of a battle between our clan and that demon? ”
"Well, a little bit of that." Zhen Shifeng replied respectfully.
"More than 100 years ago, in the Battle of the Dry Forest Plains, the assault army led by the king himself broke through the core defense line of the demons, and at the same time launched a fierce duel with the underworld lord Fereus, and finally was able to seal it, and the demon army was scattered. However, at that time, the king had not really become the king, and there was still one general who could be equal to the king, and he was known as the demon spirit knight -- Orphenn. ”
When the name Offen was mentioned, the Spirit King's face obviously changed slightly, no longer having the previous arrogance, but more of a gloomy and melancholy feeling.
"The strength of this demon spirit knight is by no means inferior to this king, and there are not a few who have made meritorious contributions to the enemy on the battlefield, but because of the identity of his original clan, coupled with the merit of this king in sealing the underworld, after the deliberation of the senior management of the legion, it was finally unanimously decided to elect this king as the new lord. Naturally, this incident aroused strong dissatisfaction from Orpheon, and the Necromantic and the Original were divided into two factions, and a civil war and rebellion that lasted for half a year began. ”
"However, how can the little rebels of the original clan be the opponent of our necromantic legion, after the failure of the rebellion, Orfen led the remnants to flee, but then they took away the spirit crystal that sealed the Hades, and there was no trace of it."
"Not long ago, we finally learned the whereabouts of Orphein, the Forest of Origin, the oldest part of the Underworld Continent, which is full of miasma all year round, and the Necromantic people cannot enter or leave it. Despite this, the brave Necronomicon warriors still bravely entered the forest regardless of life and death, and there were no less than hundreds of people who died in the forest, after all, the sealing spirit crystal was still in the hands of the rebels, once the two Demon Yuan clans joined forces and unsealed it, the Hades Lord would definitely make a comeback, and then there would be no day in this world. Therefore............"
"So you plan to send the two of us into the forest to retrieve the sealing spirit crystal to relieve the danger of the common people, right?" Without waiting for the Spirit King to finish speaking, Zhen Shifeng interjected directly.
"That's right, although the miasma of the Forest of Origin is extremely deadly to the necromantic race, other races can enter and exit it safely and soundly, and you humans also have this power, so it is only fitting that you go and recapture the sealing spirit crystal."
After listening to the Spirit King's request, Thor couldn't help but feel a chill, if the strength of the Demon Spirit Knight could be comparable to the Spirit King, I am afraid that he would definitely have no return. This is clearly an impossible task, and the risk of preying on the tiger's mouth is too great.
Zhen Shifeng also felt entangled, since the front and back were dead, then he might as well quit now and enter the next script without wasting time.
Of course, these two people have a spirit in their bones that they are unwilling to admit defeat, and they will never give up lightly until the last moment, even if there is a dead end ahead, they will give it a try, and there will be no loss when the game is over.
"The worries in your hearts, this king naturally knows that if you really want to fight with Na Offhin, even if you have ten lives, I'm afraid it won't be enough for him to kill."
"Then you're going to let us die!" Zhen Shifeng couldn't help muttering.
"But what you don't know, the Forest of Origin is far more vast than you think, and even if Orpheum has the ability to reach the sky, it will be even more difficult to detect the existence of two humans in the dense forest. Therefore, you have the opportunity to sneak into the forest to steal the sealing spirit crystal, rely on this spirit crystal detection stone to locate the location of the sealing spirit crystal, plan the best route, I believe you will be successful! ”
Saying that, the Spirit King casually threw the probe stone to Zhen Shifeng, in his opinion, this is already the final bottom line for human beings, if they are still toasting and not eating punishment wine, then ............ Just one word -- death!
"I'm really crazy, and I'm willing to serve His Majesty the Spirit King, and I won't hesitate to go to the soup and fire!" Zhen Shifeng did not hesitate, or he was not qualified to hesitate at all.
"Very well, what about you, human?" The Spirit King set his sights on Thor again.
For the fight just now, Thor still has lingering palpitations, as the so-called big husband can bend and stretch, he naturally doesn't want to care about these anymore, so he saluted: "Command!" ”
With an uproar, a space-time gap suddenly cracked above the main hall, and the dazzling light of the Dao Dao shot straight down, and for a while, the surrounding air trembled. Zhen Shifeng and the others recognized that this was the space-time passage that the Flame City Lord used to teleport at the beginning, and now they also had to pass through the passage to the unknown Origin Forest.
"Don't be lazy, if you have a fluke mentality, hmph, you should know the consequences." The Spirit King didn't forget to warn him in the end, and the expression on his face was quite serious, "Go, can you make this king look at you and other humans with admiration...... Oh, and one last thing, the Demon Knight Orphen has now changed his name, and his name is - Butcher of Death! ”
…………………………
The River Styx, the birthplace of all creatures in the underworld, is also the only vast river that runs through the entire continent, and as the source of the beginning of the River Styx, the Forest of Origin is named after it.
At this moment, at the highest peak in the forest, a familiar figure stood on the peak and looked into the distance, and after a long time, he couldn't help but let out a helpless lament. That's right, he was the one Zhen Shifeng who met the BUG-like super boss in the script of "Sea of Phantom Trees", and it was also a terrible existence that made him suffer a guillotine. Unlike later costumes, the Death Butcher is now wearing armor and holding a giant axe, less fat and more imposing, although he still has a rather exaggerated sack on his head to hide his mysterious and special eyes.
Suddenly, one of the original clan guards hurriedly ran in front of the Death Butcher, panting and said, "Tell the general, just now I detected the reaction of the space-time rift about a hundred meters away from the border of the forest boundary, what should I do?" ”
"Oh? Could it be that those guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead are coming to die again? "The 'guys' in the mouth of the Death Butcher naturally refers to the advance army of the Necromantic Clan, and this is not to be feared at all, the miasma in the forest alone is enough to make them return to the west in an instant.
"But...... This time it seems to be different, judging from the detection of the space-time rift, it is not the Necromancy! ”
Hearing this, the Death Butcher trembled violently, and his confidence in his words was obviously a little insufficient, "No, I didn't expect them to send people from foreign tribes to act for them, I really don't know whether to be happy or worried." ”
"Order, order all units to prepare for battle, and at the same time activate all the organs and facilities in the forest, and be sure to annihilate all the enemies before they enter the warning circle!"
……………………………
When Zhen Shifeng and Thor left the main hall, on the throne, the Spirit King Morini fell into deep thought. Immediately, a middle-aged man wearing black scale armor came out behind him, and at the same time knelt down and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, why didn't you kill those two humans just now, do you want to ignore the prophecy of the Mirror of Moxus?" ”
"Hehe, it's a pity to kill them directly, it's better to let them play with Offhin, maybe there will be unexpected results!" The Spirit King sneered at first, and then his expression returned to normal, "But the human who cast the sword qi storm just now does have some ability, and only one move can affect my soul. It's best to retrieve the Seal Spirit Crystal, and it's good to not get it back and lose both with Orphen in the end. Whatever the outcome, this king will be the winner! ”
"The characters are ready, so let's get started!"
