Chapter 67: Ruins
There is no sun to be seen in the world of Wacana, and in the abyssal environment, it is shrouded in a bleak light all day long. Even during the day, it was overcast and bleak.
In the Wakana Forest, tall trees shade the sky, making the light dim, almost as dark as night. It is overgrown with all kinds of eerie plants, and it is crawling with colorful insects.
Zuo De stood quietly on a towering ancient tree, looking at the mysterious forest at his feet.
The number of beasts in the entire forest is much larger than when they first arrived. It seems that the remaining world consciousness sensed the malice of the demons and mobilized the beasts from further afield.
These new beasts come in a wide variety of species, from tall magical beasts to ferocious demonic beasts, and dinosaur species can be found everywhere. Zode even spotted a Tyrannosaurus rex that was five stories tall.
Ordinary animals have completely disappeared and seem to have become food for these powerful beasts. Despite the fact that the great forest was crowded with so many wild beasts, all the beasts were now quietly prostrate on the ground, only blood-red eyes flashing with hunger and thirst in the forest. The whole forest was silent, as if sleeping in the fear of death.
World consciousness is ready for a decisive battle with demons.
Since the current Zode has not yet been completely demonized, the will of the world in the forest is not too resistant to him. Zuode quietly stalked in the quiet forest, and the target was the lair of the two-headed wolf in the center of the forest.
Approaching the center of the Great Wakana Forest, Zode found that it was no longer surrounded by reckless dense forests, but with many artificial buildings.
These buildings, which have become completely entangled with plants, are large and small, but they are all covered with moss, and they almost merge with the large forest. And as Zuode walked, the closer he got to the center, the taller the fragmented buildings became.
Zode has even found a relatively intact set of giant reliefs depicting a group of wolf-headed creatures sacrificing a two-headed wolf. The delicate carvings and vivid figures in this group show that there was once a unique civilization of its own. And the totem of their faith should be the two-headed wolf.
"This two-headed wolf is really not an ordinary beast, it seems that it should be a sacred relic of the natives of the Wakana world. After the destruction of civilization, it is still guarding this place. Zode sighed.
This also means that this legendary beast may even have a hint of divinity on it. Although Zod didn't know why the wisdom of the two-headed wolf was still at the level of a beast, in Astor, the creatures with divinity were extraordinary beings, and they had some terrifying special abilities. To put it simply, the challenge of divine creatures will be doubled in difficulty.
Zuo De was a little anxious, but at this time, the arrow was on the string, and there was no room for regret. Besides, as time passed, Zuode felt more and more a sense of urgency, as if something big was about to happen in the abyss. This strange perception in the dark is not a delusion, but a hint of something that comes with the increase in the will to sacrifice to the abyss.
Ever since Zod sacrificed a special soul gem, the Abyssal Will seemed to favor him extraordinarily. Not only did he give Zuo De a precious high-grade altar seed for nothing, but he also gave him more power after each sacrifice.
After mastering the Demon Battle Castle, Zod excavated a lot of magic gems and precious minerals. After sacrificing them all to the Abyss Will, it was only in just eight months that they had grown to the point where they are today.
However, Zode's advancement seems to have reached a certain limit, and the strengthening of his body has slowed down, and he can no longer enhance his armor and flesh indefinitely. This is a normal phenomenon, and the progress of demons is usually calculated in years. It is very rare to be able to evolve to such an extent in such a short period of time.
There are also other phenomenal speed advancements in the abyss. That is to please the will of the abyss and to participate in a bloody battle, and most of the time, the two situations are actually the same thing.
Demons grow at an astonishing rate in bloody battles, and many powerful demon lords are born from bloody battles, and before that, they are likely to be nameless ordinary demons. Of course, this situation is very rare, and the mortality rate in bloody battles has never been less than nine out of nine.
Those powerful high-ranking demons are also willing to participate in the bloody battle, and they will be favored by the will of the abyss and gain even greater power.
Even some of the higher beings of other planes are willing to participate in the Abyssal Blood War, in which the generosity of the Abyss Consciousness is very famous.
Zuo De has no plans to participate in the bloody war for the time being, and he knows all this well and understands the cruelty and danger of the bloody battle. Until there is no great power, it is better to stay away from there.
Then, there are not many options left for Zuode. Although the two-headed wolf looked invincible, Zode was still somewhat sure that he could defeat it. As long as he uses the innate ability of the Abyss Worm to obtain the flesh of this legendary beast, Zuo De will be able to make a qualitative breakthrough in his strength in the shortest possible time.
Zode crept between the ruins, approaching the center of the ruins. The aura of the legendary two-headed wolf became more and more obvious, and Zuo De shielded his power fluctuations, becoming more and more cautious.
Soon, after passing through a large number of broken stone pillars, Zuo De felt a sudden brightness in front of him.
It is a vast area, and although it is in ruins, it is clear from the countless white stone pillars, grand gates, elaborate frescoes, and various exquisite sculptures that remain around it that it was once a magnificent temple.
And now, in the center of this ruin, where it was once used for sacrifice, is a huge two-headed wolf.
