Chapter 66: Sacrifice to the Dragon
After the convoy had been marching for half a day, the crowd began to gradually become scarce, and the whole team began to speed up, quickly leaving behind one small town after another, and the sides of the road that could not be seen gradually began to become desolate.
Everyone walked for several days, although the white horse under Liu Yunfeng's crotch was abnormal, running like the wind, and it was very good-looking and unusually stable when it ran, but even so, after a few days, Liu Yunfeng still couldn't hold on, his whole body was sore, and his buttocks were even more numb
Every day at sunset, they would look for a suitable place to camp, and unload the necessities of life such as tents and food from the wagons that had been at the back of the procession, and the camp of a hundred or so people was as orderly as a small barracks, and everyone did their own thing in an orderly manner, and in the smooth and mechanical days, a kind of nervousness slowly began to grow, slowly surging between everyone.
Gradually, the road was gone, and the weeds were soon replaced by bare gravel.
At dusk that day, tents were erected in a small camp under a continuous mountain range, and Meryl and her party finally arrived at the destination of this trip after a long journey of several days!
"The badly wounded red dragon was in that mountain range, and I was probably the only one left who saw it at the time," a middle-aged man wrapped in bandages muttered to the camp as he looked at the mountains in the setting sun like a monster with teeth and claws.
Meryl stood beside the middle-aged man with her hands in her hands, looking up at the mountains in front of her, her face calm, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Miss, do you really stop thinking about it?" The middle-aged man's voice was a little frightened, and there was some worry.
"Hmm!" Meryl nodded, her voice seemed to remain as calm as possible, "If we can succeed this time, Yu Gong, our branch can go to other continents to develop, the resources of this continent have been exhausted, and there is not much future." In private, I hope I can help my mother. Meryl turned around, and in the setting sun, there were faces full of excitement in front of him, "Brothers, tomorrow, we will go into the mountains and slay the dragon!!"
Liu Yunfeng and Blanco sat by the tent and watched the excited mercenaries, not knowing whether to call them naïve or really ignorant.
The other party is a fire attribute dragon, even if it is in a near-death state, I am afraid that it is not something that this group of people can shake, and it can probably destroy them by spewing out a spark at will
Not far from them, Uncle Blue Snow looked at Meryl with a complicated face, and was silent for a long time, he took out a sharp dagger from his arms, and took out a bow and arrow from the arrow basket behind his back, and began to carve something on it
Except for the three of them, almost all of them stood with Meryl looking at the drooping red sun on this mountain range, looking in the direction of Liu Yunfeng, each of their faces was slowly disappearing into darkness, and the night was slowly falling!
Finally, the last ray of sunlight was also swallowed by the mountains shaped like fierce beasts, and everyone's figures were drowned out by darkness, Liu Yunfeng suddenly had a strange feeling, these vague figures seemed to be no longer touchable.
In the air, there was a strange roar faintly in the direction of the mountains, and a trace of heat was slowly floating
After a night of silence, and at dawn the next day, everyone got dressed and went out of the tent early, and after bringing only enough dry food and water for the day, everyone left all the horses and vehicles in the camp, and went out of the camp gate, led by the middle-aged uncle who was wrapped in bandages, and they followed a rugged path that was not a road at all, into this monster-like mountain.
As everyone gradually entered the depths of the mountains, the temperature of the air had risen significantly, and the plants began to become scarce, and the occasional little green was also those that were extremely heat-resistant.
As they went, all the vegetation vanished, leaving a bare rock, on which it was hot, and waves of heat rose from the ground.
"It's strange, isn't this a wild continent full of demonic beasts, why haven't you seen any of them?" Liu Yunfeng asked the question in everyone's mind.
There was only silence in response.
Meryl's face sank like water, this situation was somewhat unexpected by her, obviously, I am afraid that things are not as simple as imagined, looking at the bald mountain in front of her, which has nothing but rocks and dirt, a trace of bad premonition began to hover in her heart, looking at the surrounding situation, if this dragon just relied on its natural aura to turn this place into this appearance, then its strength is simply terrifying, even if it does not move there, just this unimaginable fire element, can make most people unable to get close.
This valley is not deep, everyone walked not far, and gradually there was a bloody breath floating in the air, this breath, as they moved forward more and more thick, one of the mercenaries unconsciously vomited out, even if they were used to seeing the scene of flesh and blood flying mercenaries, in this kind of bloody atmosphere that is thicker than the battlefield, the color is not very good-looking, and finally encountered a big detour, after turning around carefully, everyone was shocked, in front of them, there was an open area, they were just a little stunned for the huge empty area that suddenly appeared in this valley, the next moment, all eyes involuntarily stared at the huge blood-red shadow.
In the very center of this piece of heaven and earth, there is a huge figure, it is a red dragon about a hundred zhang in size! It has a pair of huge wings, which are tucked behind its back, and its blood-red body, thick and thick scales are clearly visible, at this time its body is coiled into a ball, hiding its head in its tail, although its eyes are closed, its expression is hideous, the corners of its mouth have been cracked, and there are some huge scars on its body that look a little terrible, flowing down the wound, and the blood seems to never flow endlessly, dripping on the ground.
People were all attracted to the huge creature, but after recovering from their senses, then, if it was shocking just now, then there was a terrifying fear.
I saw that this empty valley was full of the stumps and severed arms of countless demonic beasts, the white bones, and the rotting flesh on the bones, attracting vultures to swirl in the sky, and some vultures were standing on the white bones, pecking at rotten meat.
The earth is even more dark red, soaked in countless blood, exuding bursts of bloody breath, blown by the breeze, permeating this valley, not dispersed for a long time, perhaps because the blood is too thick, so that everything here is full of tyranny.
"What's that?" suddenly one of the mercenaries exclaimed.
With his exclamation, everyone found that under the corpses of these countless demonic beasts, there were countless palm-sized grooves winding, and dark red blood slowly flowed inside, and these countless blood grooves, if viewed from above, formed countless complex inscriptions, and these inscriptions were built into a huge magic circle, and that dragon was the center of this magic circle!
Do you sacrifice to a dragon?
"Who is so generous?" Meryl bit her lip, her face a little pale. Her eyes were fixed on the huge circle in front of her. Her pupils shrank suddenly, and with a wave of her hand, all the mercenaries behind her leaned towards the nearest rock wall when they saw this gesture, hiding their bodies.
Meryl leaned against the rock wall and closed her eyes, revealing deep exhaustion.
"What's wrong," Liu Yunfeng stepped forward and asked softly.
"Let's go back, I'm afraid someone reported the matter in advance, and they have already come first. And even if they don't come, we're afraid we won't have much of a chance. Meryl opened her eyes and said a little decadently.
Uh, Liu Yunfeng was confused, why did this girl suddenly want to open it, but also, this behemoth is indeed not something that these people can move.
He poked out his head, and sure enough, at the other end of the valley, a crowd of black oppressors poured into the huge magic circle, there were thousands of people! They surrounded the huge red dragon that was emitting heat like a fireball, and nearly a thousand people only surrounded the huge body of the red dragon in a sparse circle.
"!!"
With a loud shout, a burst of bright light erupted on the giant bow in the leader's hand, and in a thunderous roar, the arrow shot towards the sleeping dragon like lightning!
As the man's bow and arrow departed, everyone roared, and the sound of the dragon's breathing was instantly suppressed. For a while, crossbow arrows, darts, elemental bullets, and all long-range attack methods were all thrown out towards the dragon's wound by everyone, and the next moment, all the martial artists who fought in close combat burst out of their aura and rushed towards the red dragon like crazy!
And several of the elemental holders also started the next round of holdings.
There was an inaudible sound of "click", and the long thunderous arrow came first and shot to the side of the red dragon, but it was broken into two knots a few meters away from the red dragon, and the broken arrow immediately ignited flames, and was burned to ashes in a blink of an eye.
When the leader saw this, his face couldn't help but turn pale, "Could it be??"
"Buzz!" The sound made people's whole body tremble, but when they saw those warriors rushing to the dragon's side, they saw patches of red ripples in the air, and they were blasted back faster than when they came
On the huge and hideous dragon head, the closed eyes slowly opened, and in an instant, everyone felt that although the heat on their bodies was unbearable, the cold hairs on their bodies couldn't help but stand upright. In those huge emerald green eyes, they were covered with countless bloodshots at the moment, and the red linear pupils seemed to hide boundless killing!
