Chapter 15: The Old Mistake Comes Again
"Ahem, ahem, choking me!"
In the smoke and dust, I saw Zeus walking out of a pile of trees covered in filth, and as he walked, he kept beating his body.
When the mysterious man saw this culprit, his eyes immediately turned red, and he raised his staff and wanted to go up again, but was stopped by Zeus single-handedly, "Don't don't, can you rest first, aren't you still idle here, isn't the damage here serious enough?"
The mysterious man was also stunned, and put the foot back on.
To be honest, after casting the wrath of nature again, the mysterious man's physical strength has been almost consumed, and he was hit hard by a lightning strike, although the mysterious man seems to be fine on the surface, in fact, the blood and qi in his body have already surged, and his combat effectiveness has been sharply reduced.
And Zeus is no better.
Although the wrath of the thunder god is not enough to completely consume a part of his divine power, he now lives in this body after all, and he has already felt that this body has been damaged after receiving a blow from the wrath of nature before, in case he continues to fight, as soon as the physical body is broken, he will have to return to the heavenly realm, and it will be difficult to come down again when the time comes.
Seeing that the other party put away his attack posture, Zeus's face suddenly changed, and he said to the mysterious man with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful as a human being, and you can crush me like this." ”
Hearing a little bit of extraneous sound from Zeus's mouth, the mysterious man immediately showed a slight expression of relief and asked, "You are not human?"
Zeus smiled, looked up at the sky, and remained silent.
The mysterious man only reacted at this moment, and the previous killing intent and dissatisfaction with him gradually passed away with the change of his identity.
After a long time, Zeus suddenly asked, "Who are you, and how do you have the ability to draw on the power of nature?"
Although the mysterious man was reluctant in his heart, because of the identity of the other party, he still said truthfully: "My name is the prophet, a descendant of the goddess of the tree, Veroditia. ”
"What!"
As soon as he heard the name of Verodicia, Zeus immediately jumped up excitedly, and he strode forward and walked up to the prophet, "Say it again, whose descendant are you!"
Zeus's overreaction startled the prophet, and he instinctively took several steps back, until he confirmed that the other party had no malicious intentions, and then he said, "Goddess of the tree, Veroditia." ”
After receiving another confirmation, Zeus's excitement instantly turned to sadness, and he sighed: "Hey, it turns out that the familiar feeling I sensed from you before turned out to be the power of Veroditia!"
Verodicia, as a true god on the same level as the Storm Spirit, they are actually subordinate to Zeus, the king of the gods.
At the moment when Verodicia was seriously injured by a black lifeform and her godhead was destroyed, Zeus had already sensed it, but when Zeus wanted to patrol the nether realm, he was directly rejected by Yalai.
The goddess of trees, Verodicia, is a well-known goddess of beauty in the divine realm, and as long as it is a male true god, she has some admiration for her, including Zeus.
How could Yalai give Zeus a chance to be alone with her, even if the other party's godhead fell.
Therefore, Zeus, who should have come from the lower realm a long time ago, was forcibly delayed until now.
Then, the prophet told Zeus about some of the memories that Veroditia had passed on to him.
Maybe it was because Veroditia was too kind, she didn't want anyone to help her take revenge, and she didn't want anyone to set foot in the soul abyss again and act as nourishment for the other party, so she didn't tell the prophet the reason for her real fall, but just made up a reason at random.
After hearing all this, Zeus sighed very emotionally, disappointed that the Celestial Realm had lost a beautiful god, "Since this is Verodicia's own choice, then I can only choose to respect." ”
He then glanced at the Prophet and said solemnly, "Now that you have obtained the inheritance of Verodicia, then you must shoulder this responsibility and fulfill her wishes, not just to protect this place. ”
Speaking of this, Zeus looked around with some embarrassment, as if there was no need to protect the destroyed place.
"You have to look at the whole world, it's still young, and it needs a leader to command and create. Zeus changed his previous disrespectful attitude and said very seriously.
When the prophet heard this, he fell silent thoughtfully.
"The stronger the power, the greater the responsibility, and this applies not only to us gods, but also to this world, and to human beings. Zeus got up and walked slowly towards the far side of the forest.
After this battle, Zeus didn't bother to look for the trouble of the Storm Spirit, because this time in the Nether, dealing with the matter of the Storm Spirit was just an excuse, and the bigger reason was to find out the whereabouts of Veroditia.
Now that the matter has been settled, Zeus' mission is complete.
However, going back like this is obviously not Zeus's style, and it is difficult to make a trip to the heavenly realm, how can you go back like this.
Zeus had a grass in his mouth, hummed a little song, and walked deeper into the jungle.
I don't know how long it took or how far I walked, but suddenly there was a series of noisy sounds in the forest.
Zeus stepped forward in confusion, and when he looked closer, he saw that there were dozens of people in the forest, carrying the corpses of demonic beasts on their backs, and loading them on a huge wooden cart.
"Hurry up, there's another one here!"
"Whoever gave me a hand, this kobold is too heavy. ”
"Haha, Lucas, haven't you eaten enough today, you can't even move a kobold. ”
Between the busy, there is talk and laughter from time to time, and the sound of urging keeps coming, which seems to be happy.
At this moment, a guy who looked like the leader of the team suddenly roared at the crowd, "Hurry up, everyone, it's getting dark soon, I don't want to walk in this damn forest at night." ”
As soon as everyone heard this person speak, they immediately stopped talking and laughing, and sped up the pace to carry the corpse of the demonic beast to the car.
Seeing these people, Zeus didn't want to pay attention, but when he was about to turn away, a shadow, like a star in the night, suddenly crossed Zeus's eyes.
I saw a young woman with a beautiful face and a plump figure, coming from the crowd.
With her jade-like skin, near-perfect facial features, feminine figure, and crisp breasts and buttocks that have a great impact on any man, as soon as this woman appeared, it was like a meteorite hitting the earth, and Zeus's entire mind was thrown into chaos.
The woman stepped on broken steps, came to the leading man, and said in a soft voice like a light bell: "Father, it is usually difficult for us to hunt and kill a beast, let alone any magical beast, why did so many corpses of magical beasts appear at once today." ”
The woman pointed to the corpses of the demonic beasts that were about to be completely filled with wooden carts, obviously today's harvest completely broke her cognition, making her a little difficult to accept.
The man touched the back of the woman's head and replied with love: "Ruth, there are some things that even I can't explain, and today we have harvested at once, enough food for the whole tribe to eat for several years, isn't it? ”
While speaking, Zeus's whole person was already fascinated by Ruth's speech and demeanor, his eyes were blank, and his body walked towards the other party a little uncontrollably.
At this moment, there was a sudden roar of a wild beast in the forest, which immediately frightened everyone present.
The man in the lead reacted first, pulled out the wooden spear at his waist, and shouted at the crowd: "There is a wild beast attacking, hurry up and gather here to the wooden cart." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a man who was a little far away from the crowd had just thrown the beast carcass on his shoulder, and was about to return to the wooden cart when a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the bushes behind him and dragged him into the bushes in one bite.
With a scream, everyone sat down on the ground in fright, unable to get up.
In the eyes of these people, they have a natural fear of forests, especially those villages or tribes that are not guarded by elemental messengers, and whenever they encounter a beast attack, they often suffer heavy losses, countless casualties.
If you are unlucky, it is not impossible to wipe out the whole army directly.
So when they saw a beast attacking, they were scared one by one, not to mention any combat effectiveness, and their legs were so weak that they couldn't even escape.
Seeing this, the man in the lead drew his spear and rushed to the front of the crowd.
Although he seemed quite calm, in fact, his hands were shaking and he was about to lose his grip on the spear.
But he can't help it, as the leader of this team, he must stand up, otherwise this team is really finished.
In the bushes, there was another sound of squirrel, followed by a sound of flesh and bone chewing that was enough to break everyone's mind.
The spear in the man's hand shook even more, because he knew very well in his heart that no matter whether it was a demonic beast or a beast that rushed out, their chances of winning were almost zero.
In the midst of everyone's desperate gaze, a huge beast covered with thick feathers and looked like an eagle rushed out of the dense forest covered in blood.
The moment he saw the giant beast, the man's eyes were quickly filled with dead ashes.
This is a carnivorous beast called the Owl Beast, and although it has not yet evolved into a magical beast with magical attacks, its fierce reputation is far superior to that of some ordinary magical beasts.
The beast looked at the crowd covered in blood, as if it was picking the next target in the crowd.
Suddenly, its gaze rested on Ruth's body, and then its wings fluttered, and it slid in a low altitude posture, rushing away in the direction of Ruth.
Seeing this, the man in the lead immediately shouted at Ruth, "Ruth, run!"
However, the speed of the beast is so fast that it can be compared to humans.
Ruth watched the beast rushing towards her, and suddenly turned pale with fright, her legs weakened, and she sat down directly on the ground.
"No!"
The screams of the leading man suddenly resounded throughout the forest.
However, just when everyone thought that Ruth would definitely die, a strong shout suddenly sounded from the dense forest, "Animal, dare to do something to such a beautiful woman, let me die!"
