1776 Mentor

A cold glint flashed in Smiller's eyes, and the source power exploded with all his strength without reservation. It wasn't that there was enough under this bulge of the ground to make him go all out, the burst of source power was just a warning. The Imperial General's cone spear lit up with purple lines as his source power erupted, like purple snakes wrapped around the cone spear, Smiller stabbed down, and the bulging earth dragon immediately exploded, something flew into the air from inside, and then fell to the ground and ran out of breath.

It was a quirky creature, the size of a hound. The head is flat, covered with bone armor, and the skin of the body is grayish-white, with eight arthropods like spiders on both sides. Now dead, the limbs are closed, and the death is strange.

At this time, the ground rose one after another, and the earth dragons quickly rowed in the direction of the camp. Smiller snorted, and didn't draw his conone gun, but unloaded the greatsword behind him. One flipped back and fell towards the camp, and the mid-air greatsword swept out a dark purple crescent, and the crescent moon landed on several earth dragons, which could be stopped in front of them, and the shape of the earth dragon slammed into the crescent moon head-on.

The accuracy of the calculations is impressive.

The crescent moon was cut down, leaving a bottomless ravine in the ground, and the earth dragons reached the ravine, and could no longer pass through. Looking through the dark deep ditch, the end of the earth dragon was constantly gushing out of the blue-yellow liquid, billowing down.

After Smiller's eruption of source force warning, Ruijin and his team emerged from the tents. They couldn't undress and were fully equipped, but before they could make a move, a cold wind suddenly blew through the camp. Then, centered on the camp, a circle of ice spikes emerged from the ground. Not only did the ice spikes pierce the ground, but they also brought strange creatures out of the ground. They struggled desperately, but could not break free from the ice spikes, and finally hung on them and died.

This wave of attacks ended suddenly, and it ended suddenly. There weren't many monsters attacking the main one, and it ended in a blink of an eye with the help of Smiller and Shiro.

Eren looked at one of the monsters, and suddenly felt something, his eyes lit up, and the golden light streaked through it. The scenery of the forest swept back in Alan's eyes, and finally landed on a pair of gray eyes with no pupils.

At the same time, a scream rang out from the depths of the forest. A humanoid creature with gray skin and crouching on a tree suddenly fell. Its eyes looked as if they had been burned by flames, their sockets were charred black, and the tissues inside had been burned to the ground.

Smiller flashed when he heard the cry, and after a few moments, he used his conone gun to bring the humanoid back and nail it to the ground.

Alan walked over to take a closer look, it was a lizardman, but it was different from the kind of giant lizard man with large size and red scales that Ruijin had encountered. The gray lizard was about the size of a normal human, with no scales on its body, and only a diamond-shaped crystal embedded in its forehead on its head. It doesn't have a tail, and even, it doesn't see any fighting ability.

It was still struggling under the Topone, both hands trying to hold it up. Alan crouched next to it, and it sensed Alan's presence, opening its mouth towards Alan, revealing two rows of fangs and making a threatening cry.

"What the hell are you?" Alan asked, not expecting an answer, not wanting to spit a word out of the gray lizardman's mouth.

"The Mentor will kill you, intruder!"

Suddenly, the crystals on its forehead lit up, and the crystals made a burst sound, and the energy aura that was boiling from it was very strong. Just as the energy shape was about to explode out of control, Alan reached out and took off the lizardman's head, and then swung it out, which was already a hundred meters away in the night sky.

Rumble!

A fireball suddenly exploded in the night, and the flames were rolling, illuminating the trees below red.

Alan clapped his hands and laughed: "It's funny, it's actually an intelligent life." Mentor? What's that? ”

He looked at the monster on the ice spike and said, "These things can burrow into the ground, and they look like spiders and lizards at the same time, so let's call them crypt spiders." So far, creatures that have appeared are lizards, snake people, monitor lizardmen, gray lizardmen, and this burrow spider lizard. It's a whole population, it can be like these creatures, different types, their division of labor is completely different. ”

"Lizards are supposed to be used for reconnaissance, and snake people and monitor lizardmen are combat arms. The gray lizard man didn't participate in the battle just now, and if he observed it from a distance, it should be the eyes and ears of the mentor. Then it has the ability to detonate the crystal and create an explosion, which should be recorded, and the next time you encounter this kind of thing, you will kill it first, so as not to cause trouble. ”

Alan stood up, looked into the depths of the forest and said, "Finally, there is the mentor, whether it is him or it, in short, the other party knows that we are coming." However, it seems that the other party does not intend to deal with us in the Night Forest, so they just sent a wave of crypt spider lizards to test us. In this case, his big deal should have stayed outside the forest. ”

"Go to sleep." He clapped his hands and led Lucy back to his tent.

Several members of the team threw the bodies outside the camp, but Smiller remained outside the camp with a gun in his hand. Ruijin also symbolically left two team members on duty, and the others all returned to the camp to rest.

The flames are burning, but in this cold place, the flames can't provide much temperature, they are more than lighting.

The firelight fell on a withered figure, his body hidden in tattered black robes. I don't know how many years the black robe has been used, and the body of the robe is tattered, more like some strips of cloth. On the black robe hung a string of chains made of animal teeth, seven or eight chains hung high and low together, and as soon as he moved, the animal tooth chains bumped. He walked to a well that was three meters long and wide. From here, there is a crack in the ground that leads to the abyss. From time to time, a purple-cyan light flashed from the depths of the cracks, and the outline of something in the light could be faintly seen.

"Mentor." A stiff voice said, "Our team of ground spiders and an observer have been killed. ”

In the firelight, it was a lizardman. Not particularly tall, just like a normal human. But it gives it a strong feeling, and its body is draped in armor made of a mixture of bone and metal, painted in various colors. It carries a war hammer made of pitch-black wood with a lizard-like motif carved into it.

It half-knelt in front of the emaciated figure, its warhammer on the ground, its flat head lowered, its long, serpent-like tongue spitting out from its mouth.

"It's normal." From the hood of the black robe of the guru rang out hoarse, a hoarse voice said, "Because our master is here, but as I told you before, we have to be our own masters. But to do that, we have to pay a terrible price. ”

"No matter how big the price is, it's worth it." The lizard shouted, "Since Kana has given us wisdom, we should understand that no species of wisdom wants to be a slave to others. We should have our own freedom, even if it is against the Children of Dawn. ”

"Yes, that's something I've been thinking about for years. The civil war of the Dusk Clan, why should we be dragged into it? Is it because one of them created us? The mentor shook his head and said, his voice getting louder, "No, it shouldn't be like this. They also waged war to get rid of the Creator, so why do we have to obey orders, can't we fight against them? ”

"No, we have to fight against fate, against the fate that Kana has imposed on us. We must break the shackles that have been placed on our people and be our own masters! The mentor said loudly, "Let's use the home field that Kana has set up to protect this treasure trove, and in turn become a weapon for us to kill our master!" ”

"Scarf, go. Inform all warriors that the battle of fate is about to begin. Let's use our blood to create an era of freedom for future generations! ”

The lizard man said in a deep voice, "Do as you command!" ”

After he left, the mentor looked into the deep well and whispered, "I know you can hear you, Kana, this is not how we should have ended. Nor should your will be used only to increase the power of the Children of Dawn, and I have found a vessel to hold your will. You will recover in another way, and then, with me, create a new era. ”

It took three days for Alan and his party to finally get out of the forest. As the trees thinned, the Rattlesnake team members all showed relaxed expressions. After all, there is a lot of psychological pressure to walk through the forest, and you don't know where the enemy will suddenly appear from, which makes the team members maintain a slight sense of tension all the time.

Walking out of the forest, there is a high slope in front of you, and from here, you can see a vast plain below. In the distance, a silver belt was faintly visible, dividing the plain in two, and it was supposed to be something like a river.

Just below the high slope, there is a city. That's right, it's the city. Humble houses made of stone abound, and you can see the city's complex streets and empty squares. At the rear of the city there is a spectacular stone tower with many doors and windows. But because of the distance, even Alan couldn't see what else was on the stone tower. However, at first glance, this stone tower is the tallest building in the city, and it is clear that its status is not ordinary.

"Is it the city of creatures?" Lucy couldn't hide her surprise.

Alan squatted down on the high slope, stretched out his hand and stroked the green grass on the ground, and said, "Obviously, this is an intelligent race, and it is not surprising that it can build a city. But did you find that half of the figures in the city were also indebted, was it abandoned early in the morning, or did the inhabitants of the city move out of this place? ”

No one can answer this question.

Allen raised his head again, still unable to get in touch with the Void here, the opponent's home field was amazingly large. But just think that Alice can hold up the home field that envelops the entire Legacy, and if there is another treasure trove here, then it is not surprising that such a large home field is not at all.

Alan stood up and pointed to the city down the slope and said, "Let's go, let's go there first." ”
