Chapter 1: Disaster
"Whew~!"
The blood-red sun hung high, and the scorching heat scorched the earth mercilessly, distorting the air slightly.
The sky is blue and vast. Herds of thunderbirds and beasts soared unscrupulously between the heavens and the earth, their eyes empty. The aura of the superior that naturally emanated from the whole body startled the birds and beasts in the forest below trembling slightly, and they didn't dare to move. Fortunately, the group of thunderbirds and beasts was not interested in them, but only glanced at them lightly, and then flapped their wings and flew high, turning into countless black dots and disappearing into the sky.
And on the other side of the forest, the roars and screams were mixed together to shatter the sky! At a glance, there was a dense army of rats! The sound was sharp and piercing, and it shattered the sky!
The gold-eating rat went crazy, grinding its teeth, and all converged in the same direction.
And at the center of that convergence was a group of humans!
The hundred or so gathered together in horror. With all kinds of weapons in hand, he slashed outwards like crazy. All kinds of magic and vindictive spirit rushed to the outside and sprinkled on the ground. Immediately, there were countless deaths and injuries, and wails were everywhere!
Look at the gold-eating rats all over the ground, sometimes burned by the flames, sometimes frozen into ice sculptures. Coupled with the flame dragon hovering overhead, the gold devouring rat group was unable to break through the defense line for a while, endangering the crowd.
On the treetop of a hundred-year-old giant tree not far away, a half-human-tall gold-eater rat gritted its teeth and stared at a young man with a disheveled hair in the center of the crowd.
It was him! It was the boy who killed his own child, and he killed his only heir. And it's the king of the gold-eating rat swarm!
There were two gold devouring rats standing behind the Golden Rat King, one of them raised his head and squeaked softly, and when he saw the Golden Rat King bowing slightly, he stood up straight and let out a piercing scream!
Suddenly, thousands of gold-devouring rats in the forest were red-eyed and pounced on the crowd even more frantically. The pressure on humanity suddenly increased dramatically. Accidentally, several gold-devouring rats broke through the defense line and desperately tore at the surrounding humans!
"Ah~!don't~!"
"Ahhh~!"
The screams rang out! More gold-eating rats poured into the crowd!
Humans panicked, desperately slaying the frenzied gold-eating rats. After losing more than 20 lives, the gap was finally filled with difficulty. That's when people were given a breather. It's just that the price in exchange for this is too great.
At this time, a middle-aged swordsman waved his sword and shouted, "Protect the eldest young master, let's get out of here quickly!"
As if they had a backbone, the people completely obeyed the arrangement of the middle-aged swordsman, and slowly walked towards the outskirts of the forest step by step. The Golden Rat King naturally found out about this scene, and he was even more angry at the moment, screaming like crazy.
The entire swarm of rats instantly boiled, and they pounced forward even more defensively!
How could this be? Why did this happen? The boy watched this happening in a daze.
He was stunned and afraid.
The young man's clear eyes revealed intense guilt and fear. I watched as the guards around me fell in a pool of blood one by one, being torn to pieces by the cruel gold eaters. The boy was furious, but helpless. With his strength, he can't stand up for a moment. Any one of the guards here is stronger than him. I am nothing more than a burden to them. It's almost the same if you don't add to the mess, how can you help?
"Uncle Ska, I'm sorry!"
The middle-aged swordsman was shocked when he heard this, turned his head to look at the young man beside him, and finally squeezed out a smile on his stiff face, and said, "Young Master Arnold, this is what we should do." ”
The young man's heart hurt like a knife.
We should do it. Yes, it was because of Skar that they tolerated their willfulness and came with him to the dangerous 'Alga' forest. Even if it was just the outskirts of the forest, it wasn't where he was supposed to be. What's more, he also provoked a juvenile gold-eating rat and killed it.
As a result, it didn't take long for countless large and small gold-eating rats to suddenly emerge from this forest. When he saw the conspicuous Gold Eater Rat King, he knew that the identity of the juvenile Gold Eater Rat was not ordinary.
Another round of attacks from the Gold Eater is here!
"Quick, magic attack!"
"Fire Dragon Attack!Ice Array Ready !!"
Scar almost roared out. Even with his strength as a 'high-level swordsman', he couldn't help but feel a little powerless and hopeless in the face of such a fierce rat tide.
Don't say it's him, even the thunderbirds and beasts have to retreat when they see it.
Suddenly, the aura of the forest gradually became tyrannical. The rat tide can't help but pause.
But at the urging of the Rat King, the rats pounced on them again.
But the speed of everyone is not slow, the strong fighting spirit erupts in an instant, and the momentum is also rising, like a sharp blade out of the sheath, fierce and compelling!
"Huh~!"
I saw that above everyone's heads, several huge fire snakes quietly emerged, and the scorching heat suddenly swept in all directions!
The fiery snake was as thick as a bucket, and its nine-meter-long body gave people a sense of oppression. As the giant fire snakes entwined with each other, they brought up raging flames and scattered towards the army of gold devouring rats on the ground!
At the same time, a faint blue mist filled the ground at some point. The figure of human beings is gradually disappearing from time to time. I heard a low shout from the crowd, and the water mist on the periphery seemed to be boiling, surging endlessly! A little bit of ice slag quickly condensed on the hair of the gold devouring rat!
"Huh~!"
"Click--!
For a while, two strange voices sounded one after another.
Like the scythe of death, the fiery serpents harvested the creatures running on the ground without stopping. All the gold-devouring rats that were contaminated by the flames only had time to let out a terrible scream, and then they turned to ashes in a short breath.
Where the mist spreads on the ground, all the ice sculptures are turned into ice sculptures. When the breeze blows, it is a 'click', which crumbles into a little ice slag and drifts away with the wind.
The action of the rat colony was also paused. Humanity was also given a brief respite.
However, the good times didn't last long, and the magic skills of mass destruction required a lot of mana. With a cup of tea, the faces of only two magicians became more and more ugly.
It didn't take long for the two of them to hold on, so they withdrew their hands one after another. Everyone's faces turned pale in an instant!
If there is no range of magic damage, how can they resist so many gold devouring rats, no matter how strong the swordsmen are, even if they are not bitten to death, they will be exhausted to death.
At this time, more and more gold-devouring rats emerged, and the formation made people's scalps tingle and cold sweat!
The boy was tightly guarded by everyone in the center, and any gold devouring rat that tried to approach would be attacked even more like a storm.
The young man's face turned pale, and the pain in his heart from the vigorous clenching of his hands made him feel even more remorseful.
"Mother, please bless us!"
The young man's expression was in a trance, and his left hand couldn't help but hold a jade plaque hanging around his neck. The jade plate is about five centimeters in size, the whole body is white, there is a faint streamer swirling on it, the surface of the jade plate is smooth like a mirror, except for holding it in the hand will come a warm feeling, there is no other peculiarity.
However, it was such a seemingly ordinary jade plaque, but it was given to him by his mother in an extremely solemn way before she died.
The boy is extremely dependent on and loves his mother, and since his mother died, the boy has pinned all his nostalgia for his mother on this jade plaque. Nature cherishes it very much, and almost never leaves it.
And at this time, at this time of life and death, the dark side of the young man's heart finally broke out!
He hated his father, and he hated his family more and more. Just because he was a waste, a waste of cultivation! For sixteen years, the young man had endured the white eyes and insults of all of them.
And what is even more painful for the teenagers is that they forced their mother to death, hating those people for their ruthlessness towards their mother and son. And among these people there is also their own father, the cowardly father!
The only thing the boy feels sorry for is his Uncle Ska, who is his uncle's henchman!
Uncle, are you okay? Arno misses you! I'm afraid I'll never see you again, right?
The boy smiled self-deprecatingly, ignoring how urgent and dangerous the situation was. Or rather, he has completely given up resistance!
I saw that the young man glanced at the jade plaque on his chest, and then raised his head and slowly looked around, as if he wanted to remember all this.
Watching the people around him fall one after another, there were fewer and fewer guards. The middle-aged swordsman was also becoming more and more crazy, screaming and pulling the young man back.
As for what the middle-aged swordsman shouted, the young man couldn't hear it anymore. As if he had seen his own death, his eyes slowly closed. And the foul-smelling fangs were getting closer and closer to him, getting closer and closer. There was always a faint smell of blood and faint moans in the air......
And not far away, three faint figures hid behind the big tree, looking down at all this with cold eyes......
