"What's more terrifying?" Sky asked in a deep voice as he took a step forward, staring at the still trembling Keith guard, "What the hell?"

"I ...... I don't know, but I heard that there seems to be something underneath the castle in the sky...... Something woke up......"

"Below the castle in the sky...... What has awakened?" thought of the sudden chill that came from his body as he walked on the branches of an ancient tree and looked into the depths of the abyss, and the fear on Fontel Keys' face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info It turned out that none of that happened by chance, there must have been something under the ancient tree that scared him.

The Keith guard nodded hurriedly. "Yes...... Yes, but what exactly...... I don't know...... The head of the Belle family transferred troops from all the towns surrounding the family and blocked the news. ”

"Perhaps it is because of this that we have not received a reply from the head of the Belle family. Sky turned his head to look at the head of the Kerry family and the Tyre scholars, his tone full of concern.

The Keith guard on the side still nodded tremblingly.

"Master Kerry, we may have to go to the Sky City as soon as possible. Qingkong suggested.

In fact, after listening to the guard's explanation, Kerry's eyes were full of attention. Although it is not clear what happened, the fact that the Case family was able to transfer the troops from the surrounding posts back shows that the seriousness of the matter has reached the point of uncontrollable.

"Tyre University, you and Joel immediately rush to our rear troops, and then have them rush to Sky City!" Kerry turned to the Keith guard, his tone tough. "You should be able to lead this route through the sentry posts, right?"

The guard of the Keith family hurriedly nodded yes, and he realized that the middle-aged man in front of him was actually the head of a Phantom family. Although I don't know which family it is, I don't know which family it exudes.

When everything was arranged, Kerry and Sky headed for Sky City. The apprehension in their hearts drove them to move quickly, passing through the other posts that were virtually useless, and when they reached the city in the sky, the world had just fallen into darkness.

"Open the door!" shouted Sky as he turned to the closed door.

But there was no response, leaving only its own echoes echoing in the darkness.

"No need to shout, the door is open. Kerry's eyes lit up and he said with certainty.

He turned over and dismounted and walked to the door, pushed hard, and sure enough, the door "creaked" and slowly opened.

Qingkong's face was solemn, when he left Sky City, he had seen the security force of this ancient city, and he would definitely not let the gate open so widely.

As they walked in, they were greeted by an extremely thick branch of an ancient tree that led to the sky. The Sky City had seen before that the Sky City was not in vain, but a city that stood above the branches of many ancient trees. But it was probably the first time that the head of the Kerry family had been in the heart of the Case family in person, and even if he tried to restrain himself, he could still see the shock on his face.

The two of them walked through the long natural staircase to the sky, and buildings built on ancient trees began to emerge around. But the strange thing is that there is not a single figure to be seen in the houses or the market above.

"Where have all the people gone?" could they all be ...... by the terrifying things in the guard's mouth" Qingkong didn't dare to think about it anymore, only quickened his pace to find out. But before he and the head of the Kerry family could go deeper into the city in the sky, a strange noise suddenly began to sound from the feet around them. This sound is very familiar in the sky, it is the sound of the ancient branches dancing. Sure enough, in a moment, around them, branches thicker than iron chains surrounded them......

As soon as Kerry saw such a mutation, his blue eyes immediately became solemn, and he had already condensed his magic power in his hands.

Just as Kerry was about to make a move, Qingkong suddenly shouted: "Kerry, don't!"

Although Kerry had doubts on his face, he still listened to Qingkong's words and stopped moving his hands, but he was still on guard. Qingkong didn't say much, just looked at the branches that kept leaning towards them. Eventually, when they stopped spreading, thousands of hard branches trapped Sky and Kerry inside, like a small prison cell.

But Sky could feel that the branches weren't meant to trap them, but to protect them. Just as he was thinking, the sound of footsteps and words in the distance confirmed his thoughts.

"Didn't I tell you to evacuate all the people, why are there still people trapped here, in case it comes out again......" A familiar voice in the sky slowly changed from rapid anger to a hint of fear.

After a reprimand, only the sound of hurried footsteps remained. Although it seemed that the comer had taken them for the Keys people in the words just now, Kerry had been on guard, and even Qingkong couldn't help but tense his nerves.

When the footsteps stopped, the atmosphere became even more oppressive.

"Why are you?" said the visitor's gaze through the branches of an ancient tree like an iron fence, and his tone was full of surprise.

Qingkong also looked back through the branches, and the one standing outside turned out to be an old acquaintance, Fangso Keys.

"It's me. Qingkong replied, and then his eyes signaled that he was still imprisoned.

As soon as Qingkong's words fell, the branches around him began to rise slowly, and finally returned to their original shape.

Without a barrier, Fang Suo looked at Qingkong, and suddenly he noticed that there was an older man beside him, his blue eyes startled him, as if he remembered something. However, he didn't continue to think too much, because there were more troublesome things waiting for him to deal with.

"Why did you come back?" asked Fang Suo quietly, as if he was afraid of waking up something.

"What the hell is going on here?" asked Sky, staring at him. In fact, when he saw Fang Suo standing here, Qing Kong's heart was already a little relieved.

Fang Suo looked at Kerry beside Qingkong, hesitated.

"We're here to help you, no matter what happens. ”

Qingkong didn't lie to him, the army of the Tulin family was coming not far outside the city, and no matter what happened, Qingkong thought they would solve it.

Fang Suo's frowning brow, as well as the complicated look in his eyes, all indicated his hesitation.

Suddenly, there was a loud roar beneath their feet, like a beast trapped for a thousand years raging underground.

This sudden situation caused the eyes of Fang Suo and the two clansmen beside him to be filled with fear, and Fang Suo hurriedly shouted for Sky and Kerry to follow him. As the roars grew louder and louder, the sky finally felt where their fear was coming from, and the thick branches beneath their feet began to vibrate violently, as if some behemoth was constantly crashing under their feet. Needless to say, both Sky and Kerry knew that it must be something terrible in their mouths.

The group shuttled through the vibrating branches of the ancient trees, and the sky did not know where Fang Suo would take them. But at this time, he didn't have time to think about that, so he could only follow them closely, while also being careful not to be shaken into the abyss by the violent fluctuations.

Running in a hurry, they finally stopped in front of an unknown place in the sky. He panted as he looked at the countless thick branches in front of him, as if there was something else in them......

Fang Suo didn't have time to catch his breath, and his mouth kept muttering something, and then the countless branches in front of him began to roll up. It was as if a huge waterfall was swimming upstream, and such a spectacular scene made Qingkong forget the danger under his feet for a while, and even Kerry was a little stunned.

After the branches rolled upwards to a certain extent, the sky could see the pomp and circumstance in front of him clearly...... What he didn't expect was that there was really a hole behind this barrier, and the space that could accommodate it was so huge. What's even more incredible is that all the people of the Keyes who haven't seen each other all the way are behind the barrier formed by these countless branches.

"Don't be stunned, get inside!" Fang Suo shouted in a hurried voice when he saw that Qingkong was still standing there.

Only then did he feel the vibration under his feet getting stronger and stronger, so he hurriedly ran inside, and immediately after, the countless branches behind him surrounded them again.

Entering the barrier, the vibration under his feet actually disappeared, although he could still hear the roar outside, but here it made Qingkong feel inexplicably safe. Fang Suo and the others were still paying close attention to the movement outside the barrier, while Qingkong was adjusting his breathing, and Kerry was patrolling here. He saw countless people of the Keith tribe carrying the necessary daily necessities, doing what they usually did at home in this empty space, but everyone's eyes were full of fear. Finally, his gaze extended into the distance, and he was suddenly drawn to a huge statue, a huge statue of an elk wearing a multicolored crown.

"Is this the place of the deer god?" Kerry's eyes sparkled.

Fang Suo, who was still watching the movement outside, heard Kerry's question, and slowly turned his head with a wary face: "How do you know?"

Kerry didn't answer, but continued, "The Deer God's place is a well-known sacred place for the Keith family to pay homage to their ancestors, but there is one of the most unknown secrets - it is also the safest refuge for the Keith family. Unless they are threatened with a catastrophe that threatens to wipe out their race, they probably won't hide here. ”

"Who the hell are you?!" Fang Suo's tone seemed to warn Kerry to stop talking any further, after all, it was a family secret, but it was said from an outsider's mouth.

"He's the head of the Tourin family, Kerry Tourin. A distant voice answered Fang Suo's question, and it also attracted everyone's attention.

This name suddenly frightened Fang Suo, of course he knew about the famous Tulin family, but he didn't expect that standing next to him was actually the head of the Tulin family! When he came back to his senses and looked at the source of the voice, his expression suddenly became respectful, and his body bowed slightly.

And just at the statue where Kerry's gaze rested, a few people walked over. Qingkong glanced at it, and when he saw a girl with a beautiful face among several people, the heavy worry in his heart finally dissipated, and that was the deer he had been thinking about. But he was also keenly aware that Lu'er's face was a bad expression at the moment, with worry and fear.

Lu'er didn't see that Qingkong was there for the first time, but when she saw her little empty brother, she was first surprised that she was wrong, and finally after confirming it, she ran over and threw herself into his arms. Ignoring the gazes of those around him, especially Kerry's meaningful looks, he caressed the deer's back, which was constantly heaving slightly.

With that came the owner of the House of Case, the head of the House of Belle. and Rose Case, whom he had met several times, the wife of the head of the Belle family. He was also moved by Lu'er's behavior, but the expression on his face was fleeting, and he turned to Kerry, who was also the leader of the family.

"I'm right, right? Belle walked up to him, his resolute face showing a tiredness that he had never felt before.

"Long time no see, Lord of Belle. "Remember the last time you visited, you turned my people away, but now your doors are open to everyone." ”

"Yes, our Keys family never turns away friends, and those who are turned away are people with ulterior motives, and we don't welcome them!" Belle responded to him in a cold tone. The "last time" that Kerry was talking about was on the eve of the outbreak of the Battle of Zhongzhou, and he sent people to persuade the Keys family to return to the Tulin family, but Belle made him eat the closed door.

Kerry's face instantly darkened from Baile's words, and his proud personality made it impossible for him to bear such insinuations.

The smell of gunpowder is getting stronger, and Qingkong can only let go of the deer lightly, Kerry brought it himself, and he wants to come forward to ease the tense situation.

"Lord of the Belles, please forgive us for coming to the realm of the nobility suddenly......," Qingkong said respectfully, "but we are here to learn that the Case family may be in trouble and in need of assistance. For this reason, the head of the Cree family gathered a large number of troops of the Tulin family, and they were on the way to come. ”

After Qingkong finished speaking, Kerry's expression began to improve significantly, and even his proud expression was revealed, as if he was waiting for Belle's gratitude. But the words of the head of the Baile family poured cold water on Kerry and Qingkong.

"The army can't help us...... This may be our case's problem. Belle's tone was no longer mean, revealing a hint of helplessness.

Qingkong suddenly felt a trace of fear entangled in his heart, the phrase "the army can't help us", he could feel that the head of the Baile family was not unwilling to accept Kerry's assistance, but real helplessness.

"What the hell is going on?Lord of the Belles, we can only help you if you tell us. Qingkong asked. He knew that the answer might be worse than the attack of the Dark Alliance, which could be driven away by the army, and it made the Lord of the Belle family so helpless.

Belle's face was much older than before, and he hesitated for a moment but said, "You come with me." ”

With that, Belle turned and walked inside. After glancing at the head of the Kerry family, Sky Sky followed. Belle went deeper and deeper, and it seemed that there was no end to this so-called place of the deer god. No one spoke along the way, except for the hurried footsteps of a few people, and the occasional roar from underfoot. Lu'er's body trembled slightly, and Qingkong didn't know if she was afraid or something else, but he was tightly around her, hoping to give her a sense of security. Around them, every stretch of the road would be filled with the Keys who had been housed here, each of them with fear on their faces.

I don't know how far I walked, but the vision in front of me suddenly became wider, and Qingkong realized that the road just now was actually just a passage to somewhere. And where it leads, the sky has not had time to imagine that terrifying roar began to appear again, as if the trapped beasts of hell were struggling to escape. And most disturbingly, soldiers of the Keith family began to appear around. They haunt the gaps between the thick branches, and hundreds or thousands of them cannot fill the area. Each of them looked down with a bow or a crossbow, and without these two weapons they also held their spears in their hands, as if neither the sword nor any other weapon would be of any use here.

Belle led the group to a halt at a very high branch. It was already night, and the moonlight was sparsely falling through the unattainable branches overhead. Qingkong looked around through the moonlight, and the soldiers around him were not moved by the roar under their feet, or perhaps they were used to it. With a flick of Belle's hand, the thick branches under everyone's feet began to move, and the soil that had been consolidated for many years began to crack, and the two thick branches began to tear apart to the sides, and then a huge crack appeared in front of them at their feet.

Qing Kong's eyes looked at the rift in front of him with horror, and he felt the coldness coming from below, more darkness and fear. With this rift, the inexplicable roar became clearer, and it seemed to be accompanied by the sound of thunder.

"What you want......" Belle led the group to the edge of the rift, and looked cautiously.

Qingkong's gaze was extremely cautious from the face of the head of the Belle family, and then he looked down. At first, it was just endless darkness and cold wind, but as he continued to lean forward......

"Be careful, Brother Sora......" Lu'er's voice was full of worry.

Sky and Kerry clinging to the edge of the rift, their gaze sliding from one side of the dark abyss to the other. Suddenly, a blinding blue light suddenly burst out from the bottom of the abyss. Seeing this, Qingkong, Kerry and the others all wanted to retreat immediately, wanting to leave the edge of the rift, but the expression of the head of the Baile family signaled them not to panic. Sure enough, before the blue light could continue to attack, the inside of the rift suddenly changed, and countless branches came across like a dense net to intercept the chaotic blue light. The blue light touched the branches of the ancient tree, which were as hard as iron, and with a piercing sound, they sent out sparks, like the sparks splashed by the blacksmith's hammer frantically smashing on the iron tools, but the color of the sparks was a cold blue.

Before everyone could come back to their senses, a giant dragon with a dazzling blue light flew from the abyss with its wings that were large enough to cover the sky. Its skull was topped with a tentacle surrounded by thunder and lightning, and its mouth was also intertwined with thunder and lightning dragon breath, and the blue anger in its eyes was like a sea of rage about to overflow. But even if it was furious, it couldn't rush over, because countless thick iron branches also appeared in its way to stop it, which also angered it even more, and then more thunderbolt dragon breath erupted from its giant mouth.

Belle seemed to sense a hint of danger, after all, there were so many scurrying dragon breaths that could not say that any one of them would cause terrible consequences. With a light lift of his hand, the crack under everyone's feet gradually closed, leaving only the roar and roar that still echoed for a long time.

"Blue ...... Kerry's eyes no longer had the same arrogance as before, only a deep shock.

"That's right. Belle replied softly. His outstretched hand grasped it tightly and then stretched out, and the cycle was as complicated as his current mood. Qingkong could see that this was a manifestation of the entanglement.

"It'...... How did you end up here?" Qingkong still looked at the ground, as if he saw the blue dragon below raging in the abyss. He has a deep understanding of the power of the blue dragon, and what happened to him when he was in Dragon Valley is still deeply in his heart. And this ...... The size of the ancient dragon was more than ten times that of the withered dragon, and the power was naturally not comparable to that of the withered dragon.

"It didn't appear, but it had been here for nearly a thousand years, and we woke it up......," said the head of the Belle family, "but fortunately, we have the power of the ancient tree to trap it underneath, but it is not a long-term solution." ”

"And what is the plan of the lord of the Belle family?" asked Kerry worriedly. It has been a long time since there has been an ancient dragon in the dragon world, and it is a blue dragon, if it is allowed to escape and ascend to heaven, then it will need to sacrifice the lives of countless clansmen to be able to quell this disaster.

Instead of answering, Bellé turned to look at Kerry with caution.

"Lord of the Belle family, you should know that this is not just your case's business...... If you leave it alone, one day it will escape and ascend to heaven, and it will be the whole Phantom Race!" Seeing that Belle did not reply to himself, Kerry said strongly.

After a moment of silence, Belle's constantly curled and stretched hand finally stopped moving, his palm spread, and he said slowly: "Before you come, we are ready to move the whole clan out of here, whether it is to defend against the Dark Alliance, or to find a new family territory." As long as we don't disturb it, the abyss beneath this city in the sky is enough for it to live. In short, the lives of the people will not be sacrificed on it, because ...... You know how much it costs!"

"No......" Hearing Belle's words, Lu'er suddenly felt very painful and had tears in her eyes.

Qingkong was surprised by her changing emotions, and a bad feeling hit her heart, and hurriedly patted her on the shoulder.

"Deer...... What's going on?"

Lu'er looked at Qingkong, Chu Chu's pitiful appearance was distressing, and her thin lips opened slightly, "It's my sister...... She ......, "The next words seem to be indescribable, and Lu'er has never been able to say them.

Sister, it was that Jenny, and Qingkong suddenly realized that something was wrong, and there was no shadow of Janine Keys around.

"What's wrong with her?" Qingkong tried not to think about the bad guess.

Lu'er didn't answer, but the head of the Baile family answered him, but his voice was full of endless helplessness and pain.

"Nier, she's down there. ”

"What do you mean, Lord of Belle. ”

Bai Lai sighed lightly, then looked downward, and said hatefully: "The day this blue ancient dragon woke up, it suddenly ravaged our Sky City, and our entire city above the ancient tree began to become turbulent. But fortunately, it was late at night, and the people were all in their own homes, but Knier was not in her own home......"

"And where is she?" asked Sky.

"Sister is in Quangu......" Lu'er took over, "She has the habit of soaking in hot springs every time she goes to bed, so ...... will ......"

The deer lowered her head, her voice getting quieter and quieter.

Belle continued, "After the violent impact of that ancient dragon, the spring valley has completely collapsed and disappeared into the underground abyss, I'm afraid Niel has ......"

"No!" retorted Lu'er tearfully, "she'll be fine, I can still feel her presence in my heart." It's just that...... It's just that my father is not willing to sacrifice the lives of his own people to risk rescuing her!"

"Lu'er, don't be so rude to your father!" Lady Rose, who had not spoken for a long time, scolded softly, "How many days and nights have your father been unable to sleep these days, do you think he is unwilling to rescue Nell......?" This is also a helpless thing. ”

Belle waved her hand, motioning for her not to continue. And Lu'er actually understood it a long time ago, but she couldn't bear the fact that her sister was trapped below, and now the family may want to abandon her and leave here, how can she not feel uncomfortable.

Looking at Lu'er's desperate eyes, Qingkong's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, and this pain also made him bite his lip violently and said, "Let me try!"
