Chapter 21: The Lost Land
The kingdom of God is the name given to this world by the people of the Vientiane realm, and the people in this world have more detailed names for each place. All areas prior to the First Island of Teleportation were referred to as Outlands, containing the Sea of Stars, the Sea of Infinity, the Sea of Demonic Heaven, and the floating lands and seas of countless space-time turbulences. And through the first island teleportation array, it is to enter the inner realm, also known as the Lost Land, taking the meaning of being lost by the gods. This is one of the battlefields of the Great War of Gods and Demons countless epochs ago, which lasted for many years, and finally the entire world was shattered, because the origin of the world has not disappeared, so the world can still continue in a broken state. He broke away from his original trajectory in the Zhou Tian world and drifted in the endless desolate universe, no one could accurately capture his trajectory, and no one knew where he would eventually drift to. Over the past countless eras, he has collided with different worlds, bringing resources from other worlds to the remnants of this world, and also giving the remnants of this world the possibility of leaving this broken time and space. He kept drifting, avoiding the capture of the larger world, and also wanted to find more small worlds or cosmic wreckage to repair his origin, but countless collisions and life-and-death escapes had left this world dying.
In the Lost Land, at the foot of the Firmament Mountain, countless orcs dressed in gray robes and masked faces bowed reverently under a huge newly built altar.
"Our God came down from heaven to lead God's people out of the abandoned world. He is the god of the night, the master of the light, the master of the world. He sliced through the darkness with a thunderbolt spear, and he broke through the barriers of time and space with his flaming wings...... "An old man wearing a foxskin hat and a snake bone danced his staff on a huge altar to perform an oracle.
Countless believers under the altar chanted the incantation of divine revelation, hoping that their god would come down and lead his people to the new world.
The sacrifice lasted all night, and early in the morning all the faithful left the altar with their mission. Only the old man in the foxskin hat and a few orcs dressed like him remained.
"Is there any news from the Third Elder?" the high priest asked a tall old man beside him
"The three elders have not yet delivered any new news, but according to the appointed time, the three elders should return to the Lost Land with the explorers of the Vientiane Realm this time. The tall old man beside him replied
"It's hard for him, after so many years in that world, he still remembers the mission of the gods," the high priest muttered to himself, looking in the direction of the altar
"The Third Elder is extremely talented, and back then, he was the only one who could sneak around those explorers and go to the Vientiane World. Otherwise, we don't know anything about that world. The tall old man beside him continued
"Fifth Elder, has anything changed at the altar?" the High Priest continued
"There is no change at the altar for the time being, and I have arranged for people to check it day and night. An old man with a tiger bone mask replied
"The time is almost up, and after the eighth blood moon appears, the god will come down and bring us that glimmer of life. You go there and guard it yourself, don't be surprised. You also know the characteristics of the Divine Lord, so you must greet the Divine Lord as soon as possible. The high priest commanded
"But the Land of Ruins has been very unstable recently, and the dark energy in the vicinity is increasing day by day, and I am worried that it will not be long before the altar will be swallowed by the Dark Land," the Fifth Elder said with a worried face
"If the altar is indeed swallowed up by the dark place, you will wait on the periphery, the god is the master of the dark energy, and he can calmly walk out from there. Take this Light Seed with you to prevent you from being demonized by the dark energy. The High Priest took out a jade pendant of the Sun Totem from his bosom and handed it to the Five Elders
"High Priest, this is the last seed of light, so you might as well keep it for yourself. "The Five Elders were reluctant to accept this Seed of Light.
"Don't worry about me, I'm ready to die for the Lord. You are still young, and it may be up to you to follow God and lead believers out of the lost land. The High Priest smiled as he looked at the man under the tiger bone mask
"No, I swear to the Lord of God to complete my mission and lead the believers out of the lost land. The five elders knelt reverently in front of the high priest with the seeds of light in their hands
"Alright, let's all disperse. The old man waved tiredly to a few people around him
Following the high priest's arrangement, several elders chanted incantations and left the teleportation array on the altar. The High Priest was left to sit on the ground tiredly, looking at the dark red sky in the distance, his eyes full of worry.
At the same time, on a secret altar within the Netherworld, the figure of a black cat appeared. She looked around to see that there was nothing abnormal, went to a secret compartment to get something, and once again prompted the altar circle to disappear without a trace.
After the formation disappeared, the black cat appeared in a forest full of dark energy.
"Looks like the Dark Lands are about to swallow this place. I need to hurry, hopefully I can. Otherwise, this doppelganger is too weak to do anything. The black cat muttered to himself
She pulled out a compass to make sure she was in the right direction, and sped toward it.
Not long after the black cat left the teleportation array in the forest, Akasu and Mia rushed to the forest in a panic.
At this time, the robes of Akasu and the elven girl were tattered, and there were still some blood stains in some places. Apparently, the two had just experienced a fight and escaped.
"Asu, you don't have to worry about me, run for your life, the other party is too powerful. Mia gasped for breath.
"Don't worry, I just detonated a magic weapon, those people were not lightly injured, and they won't catch up again in a short time" Akasu bandaged the wound on his calf, which was a deep arrow wound. Although the bleeding has been stopped by oral pills, the flesh and blood are exposed, and it is difficult to heal in a short time.
"These people are all using talisman arrows, and ordinary treasure clothes can't resist them at all. The other party obviously recognized us as Teng Chuan. I really don't know where that Teng Chuan offended so many enemies, and he was attacked not long after he arrived at the teleportation array. Akasu complained.
"That villain must have a lot of enemies, but they don't listen to us, and it's too unreasonable to chase and kill all the way. Mia said
"It is estimated that someone on the first island leaked the news, otherwise how could anyone know that he took Mia to the teleportation place of the ghost clan. If it was an ordinary enemy to intercept and kill, Teng Chuan would definitely be intercepted and killed in the place where he had to go to the snake clan, how could he run to the territory of the bear clan so far away from the snake clan to intercept and kill. If I didn't guess wrong, that horse-faced orc should be an undercover agent sent by Teng Chuan's enemies. I was informed of the news in advance, and I also knew that I was teleporting in the direction of the fourth island. Like this bear clan's place, there must also be interception teams near the teleportation array of the bone clan and the ghost clan. Akasu thought carefully about the cause and effect, and guessed the general truth.
"It's just that the two of us are too aggrieved to top the tank for Natengchuan. Later, we will find a place to disguise ourselves, and we can't show up as Teng Chuan. Mia continued to grumble
"Okay, you'll have to hide your blue hair then. Akasu quipped with a laugh
"You're still smiling" At this time, Mia no longer had the shyness she had at the beginning, and after a few days of coexistence, she and Akasu got along very naturally.
"According to the map, the Silver Bear Tribe should be on the other side of this forest. If we were to follow the main road, those killers would probably continue to chase after them, so we might as well walk through this forest and maybe escape from them," Akasu said, looking at the misty forest in front of him.
"I listen to you. But I remember that my father once said that the forest in front of the Silver Bear Tribe is called the Blood Forest, and there are often blood beasts in it, so we should be careful when we go in. Mia recalled.
"All right, my elven beauty, let's go. Akasu beckoned to Mia as he sang a tune, and the two of them felt as if they were going to the forest for a picnic, as if they were being chased and forced into the forest.
