Chapter Twenty-Six: Dreams: Enemies on All Sides
Because the ancient god "Fregra" of the demon wolf clan has fallen, and at the same time, the ancestor of the blood clan and the xeno-king have fallen, so the races associated with it have all lost the protection of the ancient gods of their respective races, and have long lost their status in this land.
The demons from the abyss, the common enemy of most pan-human races, are ruled by the "Demon King" Fabuti, live in the abyss, and can freely travel between the abyss and the real world, and they tend to destroy everything in the real world in order to vent their evil and depraved nature.
However, no other being except the people of the abyss itself could approach the highly polluted place, and the demonic abode had a strong infectious power that would cause any creature that came near it to fall and be assimilated by it.
Such a threat makes it difficult for the residents of the real world to unite an effective counter-attack, so they can only fight as much as possible and keep the demons' activities outside their territory.
If the strange illness in Chaoyang City is related to the activities of demons, the most worrying point for Sasriel is that there is a possibility that a new Abyssal Gate may appear nearby.
That was a devastating blow to the inhabitants of this town, and everything in Chaoyang City was vulnerable to the pollution that the Abyss Passage could bring.
Unbeknownst to her, Julie and Sarah saw the nearby extinct volcano in the rippling revelation of the stone slab after divining the source of the stone slab.
Yuri Ellie's brow furrowed again, "That volcano isn't a good place. ”
"But now that's the clue we've gotten, the clearest one."
Eury Ellie glanced at the rest of the people, she wanted to see Sasriel's demeanor, but because Sasriel had hidden his aura, it was completely impossible for her to find her in the dark warehouse, so Eurielle had to sigh: "Then let's chase it like this?" ”
"Let's go and see, if we can't cope with the situation, we can run away at any time and call for help." Sarah made a quick decision before looking at the person in charge of the stone yard next to her, "Noah, thank you for your help." I had to deal with these materials directly to prevent them from having a bad effect on others. ”
Noah nodded vigorously and patted the huge string of keys on his waist: "You have dealt with it all!" There are stones that can't be kept since there is a problem with these things. ”
Everyone knew what Sarah was going to do, so they subconsciously stepped back and left the space for her to display her extraordinary abilities.
Sarah clasped her palms together, then tore them apart to the sides, and an illusory mouth with starlight unfolded from beneath the pile of stones, and all the potholed stone slabs sank down, falling into the corners of the spirit world in an unknown direction, far away from the real world.
After all the materials fell in, Sarah slowly closed her palms again, and the illusory door was annihilated, quickly disappearing from the sight of several people, and the warehouse returned to an empty state.
Sarah flipped her hands again, and an illusory starlit door opened, narrower than the previous large passage used to transfer stones, but also more stable.
Sarah was at the forefront: "Let's go, let's go to the volcano outside the city." ”
All of them walked through the door in turn to a black earth with a faint smell of scorched smoke, with uneven gravel under their feet, surrounded by elongated plants with blackened branches, and bare withered branches stretched out to the sky like huge charred palms peeking out from under the clods of earth.
It wasn't until a shadow also came out of the door that Sarah closed the passage again.
It was only after getting closer to the volcano that Sasriel noticed a clearer aura of "depravity", which had something in common with his authority, so he could quickly sense the abnormality.
But that feeling is not strong, there is no real "abyss" passage open nearby, and there is a greater probability that there are creatures that have come out of the abyss nearby. The crater, which is a harsh environment for humans, is a good place for these demons to settle in, and it is not surprising that they would choose this place.
But are these demons really just wandering around the continent at will? Sasriel doesn't think so.
He prefers that the other party is a team that has come to spy on and even destroy Chaoyang City.
Although the "Demon King" Fabuti is the same as other ancient gods, most of the time it is crazy and tyrannical instincts, occupying the upper hand of consciousness, but in several local wars, demons also have the same well-organized "army" as the pan-human race.
This convinced Dariberg and Sasriel that Fabouti's "crazy appearance" was only part of Fabuti's temperament, but that he also had a ruthless and cunning side, and that he had enough strength and brains to organize the scattered and savage demons, and deliberately encroach on the lands of the rest of the race, deliberately spreading pollution into the real world.
Is it an accident that the other party will target Chaoyang City? Or is there another reason?
Sasriel raised his hand slightly, and a flowing shadow swirled around his palm.
If Zoya can detect it and guide Amanisis to come and cooperate, can the rest of the special high-ranking people also detect it?
Angleweed clearly understood, but he didn't know the point, and the intense fear that existed in his heart was also a reaction that I ended up exploiting......
Sasriel looked at the team in front of her, as Eurie was holding up the mirror and drawing a circle in the direction of the crater, while Sarah frowned and shook her head in disapproval.
"I can give them the good luck they need, or the guidance." Zoya tilted her head, staring at Sasriel with one eye, waiting for his permission.
"It's inefficient, isn't it?" Sasriel smiled and shook his head, "It takes time for a seed to take root and grow, and for human beings, it is such a difficult road to explore the application of extraordinary power. ”
Zoya stopped talking, and this was the last time he offered to help the weaker humans. Zoya didn't remember them more than being weak, and he still couldn't understand what Darzyborg wanted him to see.
There was an easier solution, and Sasriel should have been aware of the source of the matter, but he still let these people explore slowly.
The leader of the team was temporarily replaced by Eurie Ellie, and Sarah focused more on guarding the surrounding environment, which was hardly inhabited except near the mine at the foot of the mountain, and they were now halfway up the mountain, approaching the more dangerous crater.
Even if there is no definite enemy, there are often wild and extraordinary creatures in this hostile environment that can pose an unexpected threat, so Sarah will not be careless.
Abram was less alert, and his walk by his mother's side was enough to make him feel safe. Abram had never been near a volcanic area before, and he couldn't contain his curiosity as he kept turning his gaze to look at the dead trees that were as black as the palm of his hand.
Suddenly, something pierced the ground and wrapped its grip on Abram's ankle.
He was the lowest-ranked person on the team.
Abram's eyes widened, but before he could react, the ground under his feet had collapsed, his ankles were being dragged and his body was falling straight down.
Yuri Ellie snorted, flicked her hands, and invisible spider silk flew out of the air, quickly wrapping around Abram's upper body, which was still exposed to the ground.
Abram kicked his leg hard, trying to shake off the shoe off his foot so that the thing could roll it away and let his leg go, but Abram's cobweb-bound upper body remained motionless, trying to hold Eurie steady.
And Sarah's expression was much darker now than when she reprimanded Abram harshly, and an illusory book appeared under her eyes, slowly flipping: "I came, I saw, I recorded!" ”
Sarah raised her hands in a gesture of hugging something, and she looked towards the glowing shadow of the sun above Chaoyang City: "O dear Lord, I pray that your glory will appear!" ”
"The Darkless Realm" is activated.
Bright, clear light burst from Sarah's body and spread outward, illuminating every corner around her, and even deep into the ground, forcing the creature that faintly radiated filthy power to let out a howl.
Although the demigod-level skill recorded in this way did not affect Sasriel at all, it still caused the shadows around him to surge in the light, making an extra shadow appear in the area full of pure light.
The thing wrapped around Abram's ankle came loose, and the invisible spider silk pulled Abram out of the dirt as if it were a turnip.
Abram was thrown directly to the ground by Yuri Ellie, and after rolling half a circle, he quickly got up and pulled out a rough short knife from his waist, and the young man did not relent, but carefully retreated to the side of several members of the "Starlight", and kept himself inside the circle as much as possible.
Sarah is not really an extraordinary person in the "Sun" path after all, the "Darkless Domain" she unfolds is only about ten meters in radius, and outside of this power to purify darkness and depravity, the ground shook slightly, and one after another thin and thin claws crawled out, bringing out the twisted body as thin as a long rope below.
Their skin clings to the slender skeleton, showing a strange dark black pattern, similar to a lizard that has been elongated more than ten times in size, with a mouse-like pointed beak, a gray beard and sharp teeth that can penetrate the human arm, and brown soil foam mixed with green saliva, slowly dripping to the ground, emitting a faint sour smell.
"Demons in the form of earth snakes, the number is ...... More than fifteen, less than twenty. Beware of their ability to escape into the ground and move flexibly, as the clods of dirt they spit out can be toxic if they get saliva-stained. It is advisable to fight quickly and never disperse. ”
One of the members of the "Starlight" standing behind Sarah simply swept over the enemies that suddenly appeared, and quickly gave a judgment on the scene. As a "polymath", his abilities are complemented by the amount of knowledge he has, and his knowledge of the enemy is also a reinforcement of himself, so he will take the initiative to become the intelligence center of the team.
Sarah nodded slightly, and slowly closed her hands: "The enemy is a demon, mainly to clear the money, pay attention to conserving physical strength." ”
Everyone else, including Eurie and Abram, responded decisively at the same time: "Yes! (End of chapter)
