Chapter Seventy-One: The Demon Dragon and the Gate of the World
It took Andrari three full days to clean up the supplies she needed to carry.
The only thing that made Andre a little unbearable was the strange life that was conceived in the pool of blood in the field. In any case, the inexplicable life in it was conceived by its own blood, and the idea itself originated from a dream given by the blood-colored thorns. Now that I think about it, this slow-growing guy in the blood pool might be a great guy!
After all, it was the strange dream that deliberately guided me to do something, and maybe it contained some special meaning.
It's just that none of that matters anymore. What will happen to this unborn life, which was originally pinned on by Andrei with high hopes, in the future, Andrei can no longer provide him with more shelter.
In order to avoid the prying eyes of the Abyss Lord, tomorrow they will move their clan to the top of the mountain, leaving this homeland where they have lived for most of the year, and the life in the blood pool can only be said to be a regret caused by fate......
The next day was a morning of hope, and every member of Andrari looked in good spirits. They were covered with bottles and jars, and their four-legged and feathered followers followed the pace of the team. According to preliminary estimates, the elders of Thornleaf Village already understood that Andre probably wouldn't be able to bring as many elves and dwarves as they wanted, but they were still willing to give some hope to the young people who had never seen their homeland with their own eyes. The old men who had been banished here for the victory of the war also wanted to bring the news of their present to their relatives in the other world - they were still alive, and although they still missed Garlandia's hometown, they still built two prosperous villages in the Demon Realm.
Five hundred years is enough to make those elven warriors who once fought bloody battles become old, and the ancestors of the dwarves who experienced that epic war have returned to the earth.
......
Before the bustling procession reached the mountainside, Andrei saw two uninvited guests coming in his direction from a distance.
Why are they called two-seaters, of course, because they are completely worthy of the word!
They were the two giant dragons that had once appeared in the sky above Andrari, the Thunder Whale!
Andre didn't know if he was mistaken, but judging from the comparison of body size, it should be the legendary creature that the two heads once had a relationship. If he had to say that there were many such guys in the vicinity, Andre felt that it was a scenario that he could not imagine.
Fortunately, some rangers have repeatedly confirmed through the "Eagle Eye" magic that these are the two demon dragons who visited Andrarui on the night of the meteorite recovery, and there is nothing strange about them. Otherwise, Andre couldn't help but wonder if these two guys were sent by the Evil Eye Lord to destroy him. After all, the timing of these two behemoths is really a bit of a coincidence.
The speed of the two-headed dragon didn't seem to be fast, but that was only for their immensely large size. For the larger "adult" demon dragon, the entire Shattered Sky Mountain was probably no more than the size of a house in the eyes of mortals, and apart from the vast and boundless sea of heavy clouds, the space that allowed it to operate unbridled was really limited.
A quarter of the way to the top of the mountain, the "little one", who was less than half the size of an adult demon dragon, began to play around Andrarui's team. Although it was careful not to hurt anyone, the oppressive feeling of its size alone was enough to make climbers feel weak in their legs. The "poultry and livestock" with wings or claws were so frightened that they lay on the ground and refused to move.
......
The crowd finally reached the top of the mountain, but the two demon dragons were still hovering in the sky between the Shattered Sky Mountain and the Chongyun Rift, as if they were waiting for something and were not in a hurry to leave.
Andre was a little strange, these two guys seemed to have received the news, as if they saw this time and ran over to join in the fun. Their size was large enough to hide the clouds and the sun, and almost all the creatures living in the Shattered Sky Mountain hid and trembled and did not dare to speak. This also allowed the huge team to be unhindered by the beasts of the Shattered Sky Mountain throughout the journey.
-- This is the powerful deterrent power of the demon dragon.
It's just that no matter what kind of mood the two guys above are in to join in the fun, the action that has been arranged still has to continue.
......
While Andre did his best to keep the black-purple rift slowly forming, the juvenile Thunder Whale that was wandering aimlessly seemed to have discovered some interesting new toy. Slowly lowered his head and leaned over its huge head comparable to a skyscraper in a daze, just when the crowd was commotion and wanted to avoid it, Andre suddenly felt the pressure given to him by the ancient altar suddenly became much easier!!
- The young Lei Huang Whale used his powerful magic power to open the chasm that was not enough for the Flame Demon to pass through!
"It's a magic dragon that is good at manipulating spatial powers!" Marcerien's expression suddenly became extremely excited, "It's here to help! What are you still doing in a daze!?Hurry up and get through that portal!Let Andrarui's friends get first!Hurry!......
The loud cry of the Druid Elder woke up the crowd, which had been somewhat confused, and Garuda and Mora respectively picked up the two marsh birds that were lying on the ground because they were frightened, and rushed into the door of the chasm, which had become the size of a stone house.
Whatever their purpose for reaching the top of the Shattered Sky Mountain today, judging by their actions alone, even the dwarves and elves would like to believe that it was the great will of the abyss.
Otherwise, why would these two powerful demon dragons that no one could command choose this time to help the Children of the Abyss!?
"Hurry up, hurry up!" I don't know if it's because the demon dragon forcibly opened this spatial rift, in short, Andre felt that the altar under his palm began to tremble uncontrollably. The obsidian in front of him, which was more than three meters square, seemed to be extremely unstable due to the full load of magic.
"Your Highness, we're here to help!" several dwarven elders quickly gathered around, although they couldn't help the Children of the Abyss stabilize the rift and inject mana, but with their magical talent on the rock, they could stabilize the physical structure of the altar itself to a certain extent.
But even so, the surface of the altar peeled off one after another with irregular fragments of obsidian, which seemed to be suspended around the entire altar as if they were not affected by gravity...... Andrarui's team was still nervously and orderly passing through the spatial gate.
All of them were staring intently at the change in the rift...... With the last dozen or twenty cowards and the leader behind him in the ranks, the Children of the Abyss felt as if the pressure he was under was approaching its limit.
And the Lei Huang Whale, which was motionless and maintained the stability of the rift, also let out a high-pitched cry at this time, as if urging these little people on the top of the mountain to move faster!
In just a few minutes, cold sweat had almost soaked Andrei's whole body, and a huge crack appeared on the surface of the altar that ran through the entire boulder!
Barton Graystone knew in his heart that he, the son of a wanderer who cherished his homeland, would probably never have the opportunity to witness the scenery of Garlandia in his life, but he decided to try it hard, even if it was just one person!
"Barot, carry this on your back!" Without saying a word, the Grand Elder of the Greystone Clan hung the leather strap from the ebony box beside him onto the young dwarf's back.
"Elder......" Suddenly, the elder became so serious that Barot seemed a little overwhelmed.
"Don't talk nonsense, listen to me! You are the first one of us who came into contact with this group of demon friends! If fate is destined for only one person to follow them back to that hometown that we have never seen with our own eyes, no one will be ......more suitable than you," Barton quickly confessed all kinds of trivial instructions in the ear of the junior.
"I'll take you to your mother!" the dwarven elder saw that there were still a few cowards left before the rift, and he began to shout impatiently, "Quick! Take Your Highness Andrew!
Suddenly, the young dwarf carried the wooden box on his back, lifted up the Children of the Abyss, who were almost unstable due to the depletion of his magic power and the overcasting of spells, and rushed into the door of space that everyone present longed for in three steps and two steps!
In a trance, André only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and then he passed through a curtain of water that made him uneasy, and the water curtain seemed to wash away the cold sweat on his body, but it also took something important from him......
Barot, who was bent on moving forward, only felt that something seemed to be peeled off by the blurred light curtain on the body of His Highness above his head, and when he finally rushed out of the entire passage and looked back, he saw only a beating black shadow......
The rift that flashed with arcs began to shrink violently, and the altar that the dwarven elders had fought so hard to hold on to was shattered into rubble in just a moment. The moment the rift closed, a ball of pure dark magic light suddenly emerged from it. It throbbed like a conscious soul, greedily absorbing the light around it, and was sucked into its mouth by a huge demon dragon that chirped with joy......
"What is that?"
"It seems to be the core of the magic condensed by the laws of the abyss...... Marcerien replied uneasily, and the only person here who is qualified to have that thing is the children of the abyss who have passed through the gates of the world.
"I hope His Highness Andrew, he will be safe. ”
At this time, André Gesareth, who had lost consciousness, had slowly sunk into another vague and confused dream...... (End of Volume 1) PS: Volume 2 is still dominated by territory building and the exploration of laws and powers......
