Chapter 2: The Demon Dragon
Damn thieves must have known about the Forest of Aurus.
Chasing the villagers, they stopped as they saw them get closer and closer to the Forest of Orus. They knew that the Forest of Aurus was a place of death, and that those who entered it would surely die. The gloomy aura emanating from the dense forest had stopped them from catching up.
This means that the villagers are free from the pursuit of thieves. But it also means that the villagers have entered the land of death.
Forest of Aurus.
After getting rid of the thieves, the villagers finally had a respite. Aiji looked at the villagers who had fled, most of them were old and young, women and children, and they were all injured. Many of them still have a disheartened face, which undoubtedly upsets Edge's heart.
But he had already led the villagers to take the first step. Now, he can't be allowed to retreat.
Taking a deep breath, he said to the gathered villagers, "Now that this is the case, let's move on." Those bandits who have lost their conscience will not let us go easily, so we have no way to retreat but to move forward!"
At this time, a little girl said in a childish voice: "But Brother Age, there is already the Forest of Aurus in front of you. We all know that it eats people, and those thieves will not dare to chase after them, so why should we go in and die?"
"Woo, Anne don't be eaten by monsters. The little girl began to cry.
"Little Annie!" said Age, reassuring her, "There's no way around it, don't you cry, okay?, and I'm sure the robbers won't leave easily, so we can't retreat." ”
"Why?" little Anne wiped her tears, stopped crying, and the child's face changed quickly, but she raised her head curiously and asked Age.
Edge looked back at the village destroyed by the thieves, and there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes. But he didn't want to scare little Annie, and he also wanted to ease everyone's emotions, so he quipped: "Because little Annie, you are a beautiful embryo, you know, in this era, beautiful women are always in demand." Men don't care about waiting a little longer in order to hug a beautiful woman. ”
"You ......" Little Anne is already more than ten years old, although she is still childish, but she is already sensible. Hearing Aiji's words, she blushed and pouted, "Brother Aiji, you hate it, Annie ignores you!"
"Haha. Edge looked at little Anne's angry look and laughed.
Then everyone who was originally dead and silent also laughed when they saw Edge and Little Annie like this, and everyone was in a much better mood.
However, little Anne is indeed a beautiful embryo, and at a young age, she has begun to show girlish characteristics. She has light black half-curly hair and a face like a pink carving, which is really beautiful. It is absolutely certain that in a few years, she will definitely be a beauty that will fascinate men.
After laughing, everyone had to face reality. In fact, Edge knew the reason why they had to enter the Forest of Orus, in addition to the thieves not retreating, there was another problem with food.
The villagers fled in such a hurry that they didn't bring any food with them. Now the back road is blocked by thieves, and there is no way to return to get food. The only place where food can be provided is the Forest of Aurus in front of us.
"I'll lead the way in front, let's lean together, don't get separated!, if you still have the strength, walk outside, protect our family!" After resting, while it was still dark, Edge asked everyone to set off for the Forest of Aurus.
There was silence in the Forest of Aurus. In this case, it is very likely that there is some vicious demonic beast entrenched inside. It was its territory, and other monsters did not dare to step into it. Agi took precautions and walked forward step by step.
Arriving at the entrance to the Forest of Aurus, he stopped and said, "Everyone wait here first, and I'll go in and see what the situation is." Of course, everyone should bless me with good luck. ”
"Brother Age...... "Age was about to enter the Forest of Aurus, and little Anne ran over and hugged his hand, reluctant to let him go.
Edge chuckled, touched her head, and said, "What's the matter, little Annie, aren't you mad at me?"
"Raw. Little Anne bowed her head and whispered, "But I can't bear Brother Aiji." ”
Edge closed his eyes and took a few breaths, he was also reluctant to let everyone go. But in this case, someone has to step up. As the only adult and young man among the villagers, he had to take on this responsibility.
"Don't say anything unlucky!" he patted little Anne on the head, like a big brother caring for his sister. Then he admonished, "Anne, you have to take good care of everyone until I come back, you know?"
Little Anne was glad that Edge trusted her so much that she didn't feel like an adult. She nodded heavily at Edge, "Hmm!" in response.
Edgey walked into the Forest of Orus with peace of mind.
The forest was quiet, with thick trunks entwined with dense rattans. The terrifying thing is that the ground is full of white bones, many of them fragmentary, and some of them are whole skeletons. Among these white bones, there are both demonic beasts and humans.
Looking at this eerie scene, Aegie was glad that he didn't bring the villagers in. Otherwise, everyone will definitely be frightened, and it will also lead to panic among everyone.
His purpose was to come in and look for food, and for that he did not make too many stops. But after walking some distance, he found that there were no other animals in the forest except for the eerie bones and trees. This means that there isn't much food in it. I had to find some edible trees to make food.
To do this, he crouched down to look for edible plants, and it was then that he noticed a strange phenomenon.
The ground was filled with all kinds of white bones, except for humans, the rest were monsters of different sizes. So the very obvious question is, what about the magic crystal nuclei of these dead monsters?
Any demonic beast has its magic crystal nucleus, and when it dies, it will definitely leave behind the magic crystal nucleus. And there is not a single magic crystal nucleus on the ground full of demonic beast bones right now, isn't this worth being suspicious?
It can be guessed: as rumored, the humans who entered here and the monsters that came here were killed by the undead of the demon dragon. Then the slain Demon Beast should leave the Demon Crystal Nucleus. Because the magic crystal nucleus is useless to the undead, what the undead need to survive is the soul. But the strange thing is that the magic crystal nuclei of the dead demonic beasts are gone. It was clear that these crystal nuclei had been deliberately taken away.
Aegie was curious about this, who took so many magic crystal cores? If it was a demon dragon undead, what did it want a demon crystal core for?
Curiosity caused Edge to forget about finding food, and he sensed using the elemental sensing magic that a wandering mage had taught him earlier. Soon, he felt that an incomparably powerful elemental aura was emanating from a place not far away, which must have been emitted by the gathering of countless magic crystal nuclei.
He immediately walked that way.
He saw an ancient tree that was incomparably huge. The ancient tree is extremely lush, and its branches are tens of meters long, like a small stone mountain covered with moss.
Age was amazed at this, he didn't expect such a huge tree in the world. This must be an ancient tree! Otherwise it would never have grown this big. An ancient tree is like a house!
Upon closer inspection, he noticed a huge hole in the roots of the ancient tree.
He walked towards the hole. The size of the ancient tree makes this cave very deep.
Curiosity drove Edge, and he headed into the cave. He was even more surprised that there was no darkness in the deep cavern. The more you go inside, the more you see a little bit of light.
When he got to the end of the cave, he couldn't believe what he saw: an egg? a black egg?
It was a black stone, but experience had taught him that it was indeed an egg!
This black egg is as long as two meters long and as wide as one meter wide. How could there be such a huge black egg in the world?
Surprised, he saw the giant black egg surrounded by a nucleus of magic crystals. However, the magic power of those crystal nuclei has been almost consumed. Judging by their emaciated shape, all the mana they had stored had been drained. 、
Could it be that this egg has absorbed the magic of so many magic crystal nuclei?
However, the person who killed the Demon Beast and brought the Demon Crystal Core here wouldn't be this black egg, right?
Apparently impossible.
So...... Suddenly, Edge felt a creepy sensation, like being stared at by a poisonous snake. He stopped all speculation and slowly turned his head to see what was behind him.
Turn your head ninety degrees and feel some angry beast gasping for breath! Turn your head one hundred and eighty degrees and see!
"Ahh
Edge cried out in panic, and ran with all her might. He saw a huge black head, the head of a legendary dragon. This head is floating! It has no physical body, it's an undead!
In other words, it is the dragon Undead Orus.
Yes, that's right! All the weird phenomena make sense. Edge figured out the truth of the matter at this moment. The floating dragon head was none other than the dragon undead Aurus. It was the one who killed countless humans and monsters, and it was the same one who brought the magic crystal nucleus into the tree hole. And it's doing it for the sake of that huge black egg!
That egg is definitely not simple. If there is no guess, it is the egg of the magic dragon. Or what the dragon needs to be resurrected!
Aegie ran, hoping to escape. Ran into the dragon undead and saw its eggs again. It will never let him go!
