……

Lyra's body is undergoing an astonishing transformation.

Originally, after suffering the fire of divine punishment, her hair was burned clean, at least 2/3 of the surface of her body was severely burned, and the organs in her body were constantly failing.

Her right hand was burned to the end of her upper arm.

Both legs below the ankle were also burned.

Unfortunately, Leila failed to detect the anomaly at the altar and was confronted by the Divine Punishment Flame, and there was no high-ranking priest on the scene to dispel it for her.

But she also has a lucky place.

The first time the Divine Punishment Fire came up, there happened to be a powerful warrior monk beside her, and Li Weiqi had been using her qi to protect her critical organs and reduce the damage of the purple fire, otherwise she would not have had a chance to recite the prayer of the oathbreaker.

After that, Matthew and others successfully blew up the altar, which was equivalent to directly saving her life.

According to the normal process, Leila is in a state of high disability even when she wakes up.

And yet she was dying.

A monster deep in the shadows reached out to her.

"Twilight Creation".

In the ancient myths woven by the gods.

The Twilight Creations are a group of monsters born at the same time as the gods during the Age of Enlightenment, who came from beyond the heavens and bred their shells with all kinds of evil, twists, and weirdness that mortals could not imagine.

In the course of their battles with them, the gods discovered that they possessed a powerful divinity that was difficult to kill.

Eventually, at a terrible cost, the gods defeated the thirteen Twilight Creations and sealed them around the world.

However, as far as Matthew knows.

The Twilight Creations didn't really care about being sealed.

They felt that it was just a new dwelling for their flesh.

Their spiritual tentacles can still penetrate the seals and reach all kinds of people around the world.

So, in the first few hundred years of being sealed.

The Creatures of Twilight have always been committed to spreading their own unique distortions on earth.

And within the Seven Saints Alliance, there is such a saying:

According to this theory, the Twilight Creations are the ultimate weapons created by an extremely advanced magical civilization, and the purpose of their existence is to destroy the world.

But the world is not something that can be destroyed casually.

Even if it is a twilight creation, the destruction of the world must follow the basic laws of the rise and fall of the plane.

They must patiently wait for the world of Aindor to reach the pinnacle of supremacy, and then slowly embark on a downward slope from which it will never return, before they can grasp the opportunity to destroy the world.

This argument even raises a more radical conjecture:

That is, the power of the Twilight Creation comes entirely from the expanding dark side of the gods.

The reason why the Scourge Mage carried out the "Ascension of the Heavenly Palace" was to curb the power of the gods and the potential for the development of the Dusk Creation, thereby slowing down the rate of destruction of the world.

And from the point of view of historical development.

After the banishment of the gods, the influence of the Twilight Creation on the physical world also diminished.

There is no direct evidence to prove the correctness of this conjecture.

When Ronan introduced this conjecture to Matthew, he also frankly admitted that this conjecture was suspected of throwing dirty water on the gods.

I'm afraid that only the Scourge Mage himself knows the specific truth.

Regardless, the Twilight Creations have always been synonymous with dangerous twists.

Matthew watched Lyra's body warily.

A force from the depths of the shadow world is repairing her flesh.

Her pitch-black skin was burned clean by the divine fire, leaving only a layer of red and white flesh membrane.

The flesh was now covered in shadows, including the half of the severed breast.

She had a small stubble of short hair growing on her scalp, which looked a little sharp.

After the transformation, Leila is like a drow with severe albinism, with black and white skin, which looks extremely dazzling against both black and white backgrounds.

"I know Gaylan."

Li Weiqi said in a rare and serious tone:

"He is highly prized by the evil warrior monks of the Far East, and in recent years, even in the native land of Aindor, I have seen many warrior monks who worship Gailan."

"He gave them the power to twist their vows, so that they could obtain far more powerful and evil powers than ordinary warrior monks while twisting the precepts."

Rhaegar looked at him straight after hearing this:

"Twisted oath? Let's say eating turtles? ”

Li Weiqi smiled bitterly:

……

"It's not me, they're real twists!

Warrior monks who worship Gailan are able to twist the "Lust Ring" into "Indulgence".

They sing night and night, and they can't do without women day and day.

But if you don't keep this kind of distorted precepts, you will suffer a terrible backlash.

Many evil warrior monks just can't control their inner desires at first, but later they become slaves to their desires.

There was also a warrior monk who worshiped Gailan who confessed to me on his deathbed, saying that in fact, later on, he didn't want to be near a woman at all, and even wanted to vomit when he saw a woman.

But there was no way, the twisted oath forced him to indulge in joy, and he could only repeat the boring vow day after day.

Do you know how he died in the end?

Because of his inner resistance to the twisted oath, he has actually lost his "transcendent dharma body" as a warrior monk.

And in the numb behavior day after day, he accidentally contracted a strange flower willow disease, and finally fell ill and died violently!

A warrior monk died of disease?

Can you believe it?

Of course, I think this could also be that Gailan was dissatisfied with his yang and yin violations, and finally lowered the punishment.

And with this warrior monk as an example.

The other evil warrior monks didn't dare to slack off any longer.

Some of them drank wildly, some murdered people, and some indulged in lust, and they became slaves who distorted the precepts.

You see, although I am also bound by the precepts, it doesn't hurt for me to break the vows once in a while.

Although many people defect to the evil gods or the Twilight Creation in a desperate situation, they may also understand in their hearts that it is just drinking to quench their thirst, and what they get now will have to be returned sooner or later in the future. ”

……

After saying this, Lee Weiqi looked at Leila with some pity and sighed softly.

At this point, the shadow on Leila's body gradually receded.

The force that had hung her in mid-air gradually became soothing.

More than ten seconds later.

She opened her eyes and muttered:

"I see, reborn?"

It's just that she doesn't seem to have much joy in this new life.

"Thank you for saving me."

She adjusted to her body in place, then grabbed the clothes Matthew had thrown away, and quickly put them on.

"What happened to you while you were unconscious?"

Matthew asked.

Lyra's condition didn't look too bad, at least she was sane.

"Shadows, endless shadows, at the very bottom of that darkness, there was a voice that promised me to be born again, I was already confused, that voice was like a lifesaver for a drowning man, I had no other choice."

Leila whispered.

Matthew comforted:

"No one here is going to blame you for your choice, and in that situation, anyone would make a move to survive."

Leila gave him a grateful look.

Li Weiqi asked solemnly:

"So Gaylan reshaped your flesh, did He let you do anything?"

Leila hesitated for a moment, as if thinking.

"Yes, He said three things to me."

"The first word, He wants me to be His eyes, He promises not to hurt me, He will not affect the people around me, He just wants to see the mortal world now."

Hearing this, both Lee Weiqi and Matthew subconsciously shook their heads.

Neither believed Gaylan's nonsense.

"What about the second sentence?"

Li Weiqi asked.

"In the second sentence, his original words are, "Help me ask the warrior monk next to you, ask him if he is interested in joining my shadow sect, I can help him become a legend, if he wants to bargain, you let him make any conditions, and I will also appropriately relax the requirements on the precepts", this sentence seems to be for you.

Leila looked at Lee with a strange expression.

Li Weiqi smiled:

"Then I'd better choose Beaulong."

"What about the third sentence?"

Matthew asked curiously.

Unexpectedly, Leila's expression became even more strange, and she turned her head to look at Matthew:

"The third sentence is - help me ask the necromancer next to you, if he would be interested in joining my Shadow Legion.

As long as he nods, I will help him become the new god of shadows and ascend to the supreme throne of shadows!

Let him not care about the portal, it is also common for necromancers to work part-time as shadow mages;

And let him not worry about the camp, the world always misunderstands me, I am actually a very good talker.

Of all the Twilight creations, I am the kindest one, and that's a well-known fact, and you can ask him to inquire if you don't believe me. ”

After speaking, she paused:

"This must be said to you, Matthew."

Matthew rolled his eyes, smiled and declined:

"Forget about the Shadow Throne, let's let Mr. Gaylan ask for another master."

At this point, Rhaegar interjected dissatisfiedly:

"What's going on with that Gaylan? Doesn't He ask the rest of us? You didn't ask Him what conditions He could give me when I was recruited? ”

Leila replied honestly:

"No, He doesn't seem to notice your presence."

Rhaegar was furious and was about to draw his sword.

was persuaded by Li Weiqi's good words:

"The shadow world is not a fun place, Gailan is sealed in the shadow world, don't listen to him brag, besides, the monsters in the shadow world are elusive, and the speed is very fast, you probably haven't had time to wipe the sword oil in the past, and your life will be gone."

These words made Rhaegar glared angrily.

Seeing that Leila was in good health, Matthew advised her to rest for a while, she had just been reborn, and the mental and physical consumption was great.

Lyra didn't refuse, she took the biscuits and water from Matthew's hand, and found a place to take a nap after eating.

Li Weiqi said that he also needed to meditate and rest, but in fact he sat next to Leila, faintly warning and watching.

That's exactly what Matthew wants.

He didn't completely let down his guard against Gaylan, either.

"But if Lyra's claims are all true, then Gaylan was actually attracted by me and Lee Weiqi, and saving her was just a stop?"

This is not good news.

Matthew's high-level personality is now under a bit of a star.

The scariest thing about this thing is that it snowballs -

It's almost like a god staring at a mortal.

Another god came closer:

"What are you looking at? Let me take a look at it too? ”

So in the future, all kinds of demons, purgatory lords, dusk creations, etc., will also come to join in the fun.

The thought of that scene makes Matthew feel stressful.

He's just a third-order mage.

"The exposure rate has been a bit high recently, and I will try to keep a low profile in front of these bigwigs in the future."

Who knew he was just thinking so.

A line of information swiped in front of him.

……

"Hint: You and your squad destroyed the altar of the Great Demon Trier (the End of the Ancients) in the form of a big explosion.

A nearby fungus tribe and a snot dragon hiding in a pile of stalactites witnessed the whole process.

It is expected that in the near future, the story of the "Demolition Team Fighting Demons" will be widely spread in the dark regions and the Immortal Peach Spirit Realm.

Your squad's regional legend (Dark Region/Immortal Peach Realm) +1;

Your Race Opinion (+1 for the Fungi Tribe/+1 for the Snot Dragons);

Trier (Midnight God) has +20 aggro!

The Twilight Creation, Gaylan, has an eye on you!

Twilight Maker Bruch has an eye on you!

The Queen of Midnight (Arcane Wilds/Elven Overlord) has an eye on you!"

……

"What do you mean? Is it a bad thing to not go out in Aindo, but a good thing to spread thousands of miles? ”

Matthew couldn't laugh or cry.

He got up and looked around, there were ruins and rockfalls everywhere, where were there any traces of the fungus tribe and the snot dragon?

How can you be seen wherever you do good deeds?

It's okay to be seen, it must be spread out to enjoy it, right?

What made his scalp tingle the most was the last wave of attention to the three consecutive companies.

The two Dusk Creations, one Fairy Sect Master of the same level, were most likely attracted by their own destruction of the Midnight God's altar.

At this time, Matthew realized what a reckless thing it was to destroy the altar of a god!

This not only represents the hatred of the parties, but also means that they will be focused on by other big brothers and sisters of the same personality!

"Gailan has already taken a face-to-face, Bruch is not famous, I don't know which realm he is, and that midnight queen is most likely the sworn enemy of the midnight god, the domains of the two almost overlap, in the context of the ascension of Tianlun Palace, the strength that the fairy sect master can show may be stronger than the righteous god."

Matthew learned from the pain, and when the matter of the Bailong Sect was resolved, he returned to Rolling Stone Town to plant trees with peace of mind.

If he doesn't become a legend, he will never come out to make trouble again!

Present.

He instructed the Horned Zombies to speed up the removal of falling rocks.

It didn't take long.

Rhaegar walked over:

"I've just checked the original road, and although it looks like it's blocked by the rockfall, it's not that bad."

Matthew had a toothache when he heard it.

He wanted to ask Leggar whether he was powerful or not, but the words still became:

"Then I'll take a look."

"According to my experience, this level of landslide, as long as there are tools, it is easy to dig a channel, that is, when digging, you must always be careful to avoid secondary landslides."

This time, the lord finally spoke:

"My suggestion is to dig back the way you came, you happen to have the manpower, and I happen to have the tools."

said.

He pulled out a dozen shovels from his storage ring.

Matthew's eyelids jumped, and he couldn't help but ask:

"How big is this storage ring of yours?"

Rhaegar casually gestured three fingers.

"30 cubic meters?"

Matthew was envious.

"Three cubes!"

Rhaegar said proudly:

"This is a gift from Seve last year, and I bought it with the little coffer she saved herself, hehe, but I secretly returned the money to her afterwards."

"After all, she is not yet an adult, and I plan to let her save that pocket money for herself and keep it as a dowry in the future."

"Where's your bag? It doesn't look bad, how big is it? ”

When Matthew heard this, he touched his super version of the magic method bag with some weakness, and then weakly took out a finger.

Rhaegar smiled and patted him on the shoulder:

"One cubic is not bad, at least you earned it by your own efforts."

"You're still young, you'll get better later."

Let's talk about it.

Rhaegar dropped his shovel and walked away triumphantly like a victorious rooster.

Matthew was left alone to face the pile of falling rocks, silently suffering like a thief in his heart.

……

Three hours later.

The clanging noise finally came to an end.

The Horned Zombies managed to remove the pile of falling rocks, and the path to the surface was open to everyone.

Matthew ended this high-quality short break, and his mental power and mana recovered a lot, and he could continue to fight.

The rest of the people, including Leila, are almost recovered.

The crowd didn't stop any longer, and went straight to the surface exit.

Along.

Leila took the initiative to tell Matthew what she had learned:

"Blinken is weak right now, there's no doubt about that.

He's been collecting blasphemous books, and according to Edson, he wants to defile a tomb with that book in exchange for incredible power.

That's a kind of ...... The power to transcend life and death.

I overheard it in a private conversation before their trade. ”

Matthew's face was solemn when he heard this.

A power that transcends life and death?

So Blinken already knew that it was the tomb of King Mingtan?

No wonder his previous negotiation rhetoric was ineffective.

But why is it this time?

Matthew asked:

"In addition to the task of building the altar, does the Scourge Order have any other actions?"

"Like, coming to the rainforest or something?"

Leila shook her head decisively:

"Probably not, the number of the Scourge Sect is not as large as you think, and after these two blows, the Southern Branch will basically be demolished and rebuilt."

"I'm sure no one from the Scourge has been on the surface during this time."

Matthew was weird.

When I went to Dalong Lake that day, I saw a group of Cataclysmic Cultists and members of the Wind and Sand Thieves Group fighting.

Thinking of the Wind and Sand Bandits, Matthew suddenly realized that this group had barely appeared in the rainforest, except for the frequent appearances in the rainforest at the beginning.

He asked Su Ya.

Not even the Rainforest Spirits could find any trace of them.

There are no dungeons either.

This indicates that they have most likely withdrawn from the rainforest.

"Someone is muddying the water in the back!"

Matthew's mind was sharp, and his mind quickly sketched out a near-complete picture of events.

It's just that some fragments still need to be filled.

But now is not the time to think about that.

The Worship of the Dragons is the number one enemy of the rainforest.

They must seize the time of Blinken's weakness and attack the Worship of the Dragon!

After leaving the surface.

The group picked up Xiuyi, who had regained his mobility.

With Suya's permission.

Matthew led everyone through the node of the Black Banyan Dream to complete the long-distance teleportation in the rainforest.

Just thirty minutes.

They reached the southwest from the middle of the rainforest.

At the edge of the rainforest.

The silhouettes of factories resembling lumber yards are faintly visible.

Outside the factory, there was a large pile of towering trees that had been cut down.

And inside it's brightly lit.

Matthew looked at the sky.

It was close to midnight.

He flew over the factory in the form of a raven, and found that there were still a large number of dragon-worshippers working all night inside!

But see them constantly coming and going in and out of a huge building.

Every dragon worshipper who came out of his arms was holding round eggs!

"That's ...... Dragon eggs? ”

Matthew wanted to get closer.

Who knows that this is the right time.

A sharp arrow tore through the air, brushed Matthew's feathers and flew over!

"Get out of here, this isn't the place for druids to take care of."

On a high platform.

A half-elf archer in tight leather armor warned coldly.

"Xiao Yi, you are always so soft-hearted, if I shoot as accurately as you, this druid may have become my new favorite."

In the factory under the high platform.

A shadowy necromancer walked out with a staff in hand.

He was followed by a massive monster.

Matthew's eyes narrowed.

That's a ......

Bone Dragon!

……

"Hint: You discovered the 'Dragon Farm' (the base of the Cult of the Dragons).

You've encountered the half-elf archer Erasema (LV16)!

You've encountered the necromancer Jennings (LV14) and his bone dragon (LV14)!"

……
