Chapter 526: An Inexplicable Crisis
readx;
Aside from the constant appearance of monstrous monsters, the Blue Swamp is definitely a wonderful place with magnificent scenery. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Strange and clumsy twisted ancient trees, clear and lovely rivers, gorgeous and beautiful strange flowers, combined with the pure blue sky, it is really a pleasure to stay in it for a while. Even Nia, who had been here once, seemed particularly excited at first. If it weren't for the uneasiness in our hearts, this would definitely be our paradise. After all, apart from the Holy Beasts, and even the Divine Beasts that only appear in legends, ordinary Demonic Beasts pose no threat to us at all.
Lying comfortably on the grass under the tree, pillowing Melina's plump thighs, enjoying the massage of Qinsi, watching Filia and them busy, coupled with Alice's cheerful laughter, my heart suddenly produced a sense of happiness. Just for the scene in front of me, it is worth any price I pay to protect.
In the space of five days, the influence of the Holy See on us seems to have disappeared. Although there have been many adventurers on the continent who want to find our Dragon Rim mercenary group, no matter what their purpose is, nothing has happened after we have deliberately avoided contact with people.
But I felt a little uneasy in my heart, and the threat from the Holy See still existed. And, since three days ago, I've been very uncomfortable as if I had been covered in a dark cloud. It's just that what happened to me couldn't have imagined it, and for this reason, including Feng'er, the three-headed holy beast was also a little irritable. At the beginning, it was precisely because of the ominous omen that flashed in my heart that Feng'er conducted a large-scale search, and thus found five holy beasts dozens of miles away, but this time, it seemed that the situation was better and more serious. Just like a storm, the longer it simmers, the more powerful it becomes.
I don't know where I got that hunch, but at least so far, it's been true. For this reason, in addition to maintaining the speed of travel, I also consciously or unintentionally took Filia and the others to take a little more detours, hoping to get rid of this inexplicable feeling by constantly changing the route. But obviously, all this is in vain, and the doubts in my heart not only linger, but even become more and more intense.
I didn't tell them this, after all, I didn't find any signs until now, let alone anyone following her or anything, and it was just a few more people who were worried about it. Moreover, if they really said it, I am afraid that they will not be as comfortable as they are now.
In fact, the swampy woods are more dangerous than the outside, as evidenced by the fact that Nia and her sisters were attacked so many times in one night. And cooking in such a place is not a suitable decision. While they were busy preparing food, several groups of demonic beasts had already appeared to attack. However, under the power of a few holy beasts, their strength is only forty percent at most, and after accompanying Alice to warm up for a while without any suspense, they also enrich our dinner.
"Brother Long, I can't imagine that this famous and dangerous place on the continent has become so beautiful, I really missed a lot of things before!"
"Be content!" Melina said, "You've been a mercenary leader for so long, and you've traveled so many places, and you're so much better than me, who can't get to be Ostre. She regrets this. After all, both Philia and Camilla sisters used to be mercenaries who traveled from south to north, and even Jean Si had traveled on the continent for a while, and she was the only one who had traveled the least.
"I used to be a mercenary, and even if there was really any beautiful scenery, the first thing I thought about was whether there would be any danger, and I didn't pay much attention to it at all. Niya said helplessly: "Besides, I didn't notice these ...... before."
Melina teased: "Yes, you always wanted to be a female marshal before, and knowing that the Ostonian Empire did not accept female generals, you decided to form a mercenary group that shook the continent." Now, are you thinking about being a dragon lady?"
"That's right. Niya had long been accustomed to Melina's ridicule, and said proudly: "I found that whether you want to be famous in the continent, or become the top powerhouse in the continent, becoming a lady of the dragon is a shortcut." ”
I frowned, glared at her fiercely, and swept her tall ** with bad intentions, and actually regarded me as a shortcut to her fame in the continent, I really deserve to fight!
Unfortunately, although she was shy and lovely at night, she was one of the most lawless during the day, and such warnings had no effect on her. She just grimaced at me and immediately continued to engage in a bickering with Melina.
I smiled wryly and shook my head, except for Alice, she was the one who made me the most helpless.
"Brother Long, look!" Behind him, Qin Si, who had been silent, suddenly said.
Following the direction of her finger, I saw Lian Rou and Elder Hai Lian, who seemed to be performing some kind of ritual. Lianrou drew a very strange pattern on the ground. It seems that it is a beautiful girl squatting and kneeling, just a few simple curves, clearly depicting that wonderful figure. However, in addition to the blurred face, the girl's figure was full of strange magical patterns, which made what should have been a very moving pattern look very strange. At this time, Elder Helen was kneeling reverently on the ground in front of the pattern, as if praying for something. Lian Rou pressed one hand on top of her head, the other to her heart, and whispered strange language, which was the dark language I had heard in the first place.
"What are they doing here?" I asked Feng'er with a telepathic voice.
"It's a last prayer for Miss Helen. Feng'er said strangely. Because Lian Rou has always called Elder Hai Lin Auntie, and she is commensurate with Sister Lian Rou, she is plain and inferior to Elder Hai Lin, which naturally makes her very dissatisfied. Therefore, she has always called Elder Hailin and Little Girl, so as to find some balance. "They probably thought that Miss Helen would not see the night tomorrow. "The Dark Race is beautiful at night.
"Hehe, then let them be!" I had already noticed that Elder Hailin's face was a little wrong, and it was estimated that the internal injury had flared up again. In the past few days, the attacks of internal injuries have become more and more frequent, so Lian Rou and her thought that she had no surgery. Moreover, tomorrow is the time when Elder Hailin's bloodline is backfired, and with her current situation, it is impossible for her to survive safely. That's why they perform such rituals, right?
In fact, although I dare not say that it will be successful, it is definitely not difficult to stabilize her injury. The only problem is how to find the key to breaking the Dark Clan's seal. At the beginning, Lianrou was by mistake, but this time I wanted to find a solution that suited any dark clan, and it was certainly not easy. However, I don't want to tell them right now that the chance of survival is not always available, and I would like to see how Elder Helin reacts then. Speaking of which, I'm also a person with a lot of bad tastes!
"Brother, what is Sister Lianrou drawing? It's so strange!" Alice had already attracted attention, and ran over interestingly.
"It's a ritual of their people. Before I could answer, Feng'er had already replied, "This one she painted is the image of the first saintess of the Dark Clan." Legend has it that she is the closest god to the gods, and her strength is not even much worse than that of the dark god. Therefore, in addition to the totem of the dark god, this is already the most solemn ritual of the dark clan. ”
"Oh!" Alice seemed to know what was wrong, but she also knew that she couldn't disturb them now. However, in my opinion, a god's acolyte is a devout believer who believes in a certain god and is chosen by God to be his acolyte. In a sense, the Holy Daughters of the Holy See belong to the Divine Servants like Lianrou, the Dark Holy Maiden, but they are barely substitutes now.
"Brother Long, is Elder Hailin's injury really so serious that it is irretrievable?" asked Niya suspiciously.
I laughed, and at the same time, Jeansi and Melina.
"If Xiao Tian really can't save Elder Hailin, how can he still look relaxed and comfortable until now?" Seeing that Niya was a little confused, Qin Si explained with a smile: "I really thought that she couldn't be saved, probably only Elder Hailin and Lianrou were the only two people, right?"
My smile suddenly retracted, but my expression changed drastically, and the uneasy feeling in my heart suddenly intensified at this moment. That threat seems to be looming again. At this point, I finally understood that this was definitely not my own hallucination, but that there was really some unknown danger that was constantly approaching me. At the same time, the dragon scales that had been quietly placed in my space ring, and the dragon scales belonging to the Kali patriarch took the initiative to summon for the first time. You know, if it weren't for something urgent, the Karek patriarch, who has always been lazy, would not have taken the initiative to contact anyone, not to mention that I could still feel a trace of anxiety from that quick call.
"Xiaotian, where are you now?" The figure suddenly floated, and under the surprised gaze of Qin Si and them, I had already burrowed into the tent on the side and used the dragon secret method to establish contact with the Kalie patriarch. It's just that his first sentence made me a little confused.
"I've just entered the Blue Swamp and am going to find a Tree of Destruction inside. I replied honestly. "Is something wrong?"
"Don't ask anything now, take your people back to Dragon Island right away. Patriarch Kareh said eagerly.
"This ......" I said strangely, "Hasn't Dragon Island always forbidden the Terrans on the mainland to set foot in it?, will it be a little inconvenient for me to take them back?"
"I can't care about that much. The Kali patriarch shook his head and said, "I don't want you to take any more adventures because of them, so it's better to bring them back to Dragon Island." ”
