……

Earth Spirits?

Matthew felt a little inexplicable, wasn't this thing offered as a treasure by the Druid Order, why did he suddenly summon himself?

He had never crossed paths with the spirits of the earth.

Is it because of his super high natural affinity?

With such doubts, Matthew said to Delong with some embarrassment:

"Does it have to be now?"

"I'm afraid not now, I have to be with my colleagues."

Although Surrell did not explicitly order the first group of Alliance mages to arrive to help protect the Cross City.

Moreover, it is theorized that the four of them have repelled the disaster of the Broodmother Lotus created by the Blight Order.

In the next meteorite rain, they did not have to contribute.

But even if it is based on the most basic moral code of the heart.

Matthew also had no reason to sit idly by.

What's more, Ai Lan and the other three all plan to continue to protect Cross City in the future.

At times like these.

Each additional mage provides an additional boost.

What's more, Matthew has an army of the undead in his hands.

He is confident that he will be more helpful in the upcoming Battle of the Cross City Defense.

So he decisively rejected DeLong's request.

Delong looked surprised, and then said seriously:

"Mr. Matthew, the Earth Spirit must have summoned you for something very important.

You know, in the past few years, the Earth Spirit has barely shown up, and he is very wary of outsiders.

I don't know why he wanted to summon you, but I think he must have a very important reason for coming.

I hope you will definitely make a visit.

Maybe it won't take much time? ”

Matthew hesitated when he heard this.

If there were more mages defending the city, he wouldn't mind taking a trip.

But now this juncture retreat is somewhat of a betrayal of teammates.

And the sudden summoning of the Earth Spirit was also strange.

He instinctively resisted.

At that moment, Matthew turned back and asked the three members of the Evaporation Team:

"Is the Alliance's follow-up support only sent by Hesuo Mountain?"

"And there are only three of them in Hesuo Mountain?"

With a bruised eye, Combos replied with some embarrassment:

"When we set off, we heard that something was wrong with the hot spring prison in Hesuo Mountain, and Lord Alexander sent all the enforcers and vapor teams over, so we were the only ones who came to support first."

"Hot Spring Prison is the place where Hesuo Mountain holds extremely vicious and powerful prisoners, and according to past experience, every time there is a riot in Hot Spring Prison, it takes at least three months to calm down, so it is unlikely that Hesuo Mountain will send more people here in the short term."

"As for the rest of the South, I don't know."

Combus now has a humble attitude.

It's a stark contrast to the high-minded attitude at the beginning.

It seems that he is afraid that he will be beaten up by Matthew for saying the wrong thing.

Fortunately, Matthew didn't blame him.

He just frowned slightly.

At this time, Ai Lan also spoke:

"The Alliance's manpower is very tight, and the mages from Gem Bay and the East Coast, who might have come to support, have been transferred to the site of the Battle of Wolf Mountain."

"If I'm not mistaken, today is the third day of the battle, and the two sides involved in the battle are Lion City and the Three Towns of River Beach, and the strength of the two sides is equal, and it will take at least seven or eight days to decide the winner."

"Like the Battle of the Mossy Green Hills, the Lion City with the assistance of Danfeng Fort is now the largest force in the south, and in the past month, he has signed an offensive and defensive alliance with Deep Blue Harbor and Golden Water City, plus the small territories that the Golden Lion Barton swept before, the area of the Lion City is now more than the largest territory recorded in the history of the South."

"Because of the threat of the Lion City, the three towns of Hetan have merged into a new territory, and their strength has been greatly improved, and they are suspected to have the support of the Yongge Forest behind them, so this battle can be called the largest and highest level of war in the south. Previously, almost all the non-registered mages in the south had been transferred, and the possibility of wanting to transfer them again for a while was very low. ”

Hear this.

Hibbert couldn't help but say blankly:

"Aren't they all human?"

"If it's a human civil war, can't we let them stop for a while?"

"Let's get those mages to come and help first!"

Faced with Hibbert's naïve questioning.

Ai Lan smiled bitterly:

"War is never something that can be stopped."

"Some mages may be in the process of rushing to the Warden Heights, but the mages in charge of the ruling still have to stay put, otherwise if unexpected factors occur in this battle, it will not only damage the reputation of the Alliance."

"The war is going to get completely out of control."

Hood sneered:

"The war was meant to get out of hand, and only the high-ranking lords of the Silver Council felt they could control everything."

"Yes, absolute violence can suppress many things, but it cannot erase the soul of those who resist."

"If you want me to see, sooner or later, the alliance will have to ask for its own hardship!"

Ai Lan persuaded softly:

"This is the decision of the legendary mages, so you better not question it casually."

Hibbert kindly reminded:

"There is no need for this, Ms. Ellen, I support Mr. Hood."

Hood would have been quite happy.

Until he heard the next sentence:

"Anyway, he doesn't have a few days to live, and he can say whatever he wants."

This made him so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, and even his bald head looked a little shiny.

"However, the Silver Council should be clear about which is more important, and the follow-up reinforcements will arrive in an hour at the latest, so you don't need to be too pessimistic."

Ai Lan hurriedly said.

Hood was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said to Matthew:

"There you go."

"Since the spirit of the earth wants to find you, there must be an important reason."

"Don't worry about what will happen to us here without you, we can stabilize the situation."

said.

He cleared his throat:

"I'm the oldest of the first mages to arrive, and for my sake, I'll take over the command for the time being."

"Matthew, you should go to the Earth Spirit first and see what the Earth Society has to offer you;

Hibbert, you are tasked with observing and guarding the southern neighborhoods of Cross City;

Ailan, you go and keep an eye on those territories to the north.

Remember, observe and procrastinate, and try not to fight.

If an enemy breaks in from outside the city, use control spells, harass spells, and don't put yourself in danger.

After all, the main material realm is still our territory, as long as we can delay the time and wait for the support of the alliance, all problems will be solved, understand? ”

The faces of the three were different.

But in the end, no comments were made.

Combus next to him asked weakly:

"What about us?"

He gestured to the other two companions beside him.

Hood said angrily:

"Someone has to go out of town to negotiate with those robbers and bandits, right!?"

"You guys come out of town with me!"

Matthew hurriedly said:

"Mr. Hood......"

However, Hood stopped him:

"I'm an old man dying of death, and no matter what accident happens, it's not worth pity;

The three of them are damn scum, too, and it's time to make some positive contributions to the Alliance.

As for you, you are not the same.

As long as you young people are alive, it's not a big deal to let the gods succeed in reincarnating.

Maybe they're not growing as fast as you are.

When the time comes, this land will still be up to us.

That's it.

In a word-

Live well! ”

All three were a little moved.

Hibbert's eyes moistened slightly.

Hudeton showed a look of disgust:

"Don't chirp, you're a genius, geniuses don't need to shed tears for others, you should be selfish, immerse yourself in your own world, and fully exert your potential, which is what geniuses should do."

Matthew stepped forward and gently hugged Hood:

"You must also be careful when you go out of the city to negotiate with those people, and you don't have to duel them with a certain mentality."

"Because I actually have a secret method of prolonging life here, as long as you return safely, I will share it with you."

Hood suddenly looked surprised:

"You kid can't be lying to me, are you?"

Matthew smiled and shook his head:

"I forgot to tell you, in addition to being a necromancer, I also have some accomplishments in the natural realm."

Hood showed a look of relief, and then patted Matthew on the shoulder heavily:

"Good, good!"

"Wait until I come back safely!"

said.

He grabbed the three members of the evaporation team who were hanging their heads and flew quickly towards the eastern sky.

At this time.

There have already been a few meteors falling over the shield.

Boom Boom!

Loud whistling and crashing sounds alarmed everyone in the city.

The civilians who were still evacuating and fleeing watched in horror.

Some people can't help but kneel and pray.

Those who have already fled have quickened their way to flee.

The druids shouted at the chaotic crowd.

The northern part of the city.

The dense crowd slowly moved towards the cavern area.

Depression and panic fall from the trees on both sides of the road like autumn leaves.

It falls on people's hearts.

Heavy as a mountain.

Matthew took a deep look at the fiery horizon.

Then he turned around and followed Delong towards the Holy Oak District.

……

Astral Plane.

On the curved surface woven by countless colorful light nets.

A funnel-shaped space is shrinking inward and expanding outward.

Beyond the funnel.

Countless points of light are hidden in the meteorite rain, waiting for an opportunity.

Bang bang bang!

Despite not being able to hear the sound.

But when those lifeless stones and flames hit the surface.

Those who witnessed this scene seemed to remember such a voice in their hearts.

Obviously.

This huge funnel was formed by the meteorite rain hitting the permanent barrier.

And the inside of the vulnerability.

Thirteen golden nets were unevenly distributed.

These networks act like filters, blocking larger meteorites and meteors, while smaller ones penetrate further down.

Silently.

More and more points of light began to try to cross the first giant net.

The first batch of points of light just collided with the network.

His body begins to burn uncontrollably.

It was finally reduced to ashes in a terrible wail.

It was the wailing of an angel on his deathbed.

No one can hear them.

Perhaps only a few years later will there be similar reverberations in a cosmic storm.

With the passage of time.

More and more meteorites and points of light poured into the funnel.

Without hesitation, the angels headed for the land they had been thinking about for hundreds of years!

"It's tragic."

In the formation.

Ronan let out a low sigh of emotion.

The golden giant net in front of him is the super spell "God Hunter Cross" solidified by the Scourge Mage.

This spell is designed specifically for gods and creatures from the outer planes.

Humans passed unscathed.

But if a creature with divinity forcibly breaks through, then it will definitely face the end of ashes!

This group of angels is smart enough.

They seized the opportunity of the meteorite rain.

Under the cover of meteorites, the defense density of the Hunter's Cross will be affected.

It doesn't have to strangle all the angels.

But you can kill most of them.

"How many have you died?"

Ekmond asked.

"More than 2,000, less than 2,500, the number of angels in this batch is more than we imagined, I just don't know which old ghost sent another batch, it is expected that there should be more than 800 angels who finally arrived on the ground."

Ronan's tone was rather heavy.

"What about Vasnov?"

Ekmund asked again.

"He is still breaking through, after all, he has been the master of Tianlun Palace for a short time, and there must be a lot of good things in his hands, even if he separates the godhead, he can last longer than ordinary angels."

"At present, he is in the ninth level, and it is estimated that he will last until the eleventh level at most, this is the record left by the original Lord of Glow to hit the permanent barrier, and the God of War should not be stronger than the original Lord of Gloss."

Suriel recounted calmly.

"I have a bad premonition."

Linde's voice rang out:

"Although Vasnov likes to create impulsive and reckless characters, he himself is actually very cautious, and he dares to take the lead in attacking the God Hunter Cross, he must have a certain certainty."

Surier said calmly:

"Of course, no one will really send them to death, let alone gods who are greedy for life and afraid of death."

"It's just that we don't have a deeper level of control over the permanent barriers, and we can't go anywhere except for the formation."

"Vasnov's life and death are not up to us, but the Cross of God Hunter left by himself and the Scourge Mage."

The other three were silent.

In fact, they know very well what Suriel said, but now they are trapped in a permanent barrier in disguise, and they have to find something to say.

"It's so boring, why don't you make a bet?"

Ronan yawned.

Ekmond glanced at him:

"Well, I'm betting that Vasnov will make it to the ground."

Ronan asked with interest:

"I don't think he can do it."

"What do you say about bets?"

Ekmond smiled and said:

"If I win, you can share with me the last part of the Goddess of Magic's secret treasure you have kept privately."

"If I lose, I'll share with you a part of the Goddess of Magic Vault I found."

Ronan was a little dizzy at first.

Immediately puzzled:

"Does the Goddess of Magic have any other secrets?"

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Where did you find it?"

Facing Surier's slightly disdainful gaze, Ekmond said without blushing and without a heartbeat:

"Anyway, I found it, it depends on whether you bet or not."

Ronan thought for a moment:

"Then bet, I'm useless for the rest anyway......"

Ekmund smiled on the surface, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.

Right now.

Linde suddenly said in a loud voice:

"That's not right!"

"Why did he rush from the ninth level to the thirteenth level all at once?"

Everyone was a little surprised.

It is important to know that the Cross of the Hunter consists of a total of thirteen levels, each of which is a golden giant net.

On the surface, it looks pretty much the same.

In fact, the intensity is very different.

The giant net of the twelfth level is enough to strangle the god mage!

And the thirteenth level is even more devastating!

Because they were in the middle of the formation, they could see very clearly, but they saw Vasnov, who had turned into a golden armor idol, pushing a huge meteorite and rushing to the deepest part of the funnel!

That moment.

Hundreds of golden-winged facelings appeared around him!

These Facelings and Angels are similar in structure, and are pure spirit bodies.

And in the moment of seeing these Facelings.

All the mages were excited.

"Golden Heavenly Divine Wings!"

Surrell whispered, a longing glint in his eyes.

Golden Celestial Wings.

This was one of the Scourge Mage's signature spells back then.

She was able to summon thousands of Golden Celestial Divine Wings from the Xenodimensional Dimension in an instant.

The strength of this creature is somewhere between strong and weak divine power.

But it only takes a battle formation composed of a dozen Golden Heavenly Divine Wings to easily strangle a god with strong divine power!

Even at the peak of the God of War.

It is impossible to face so many Golden Heavenly Divine Wings!

"He's dead!"

Linde frowned:

"Unless he can become weaker than the angels......"

The voice did not fall.

Just when the Golden Heavenly Divine Wings wrapped the God of War with water.

Vasnov shook off the meteorite he was pushing in his hand.

The next second.

He looked up to the sky and smiled.

Blazing light erupted from within him—

Rumble!

Silently.

Vasnov's body collapsed and shattered into hundreds of pieces!

Some of the fragments were repelled by the gravitational pull of the plane and flew upside down.

Others are sinking rapidly and falling into the main material realm.

Surprisingly.

The Jin Tian Divine Wings, who were originally gathered around, saw this scene and chose to stand by and watch!

They didn't stop the shards that had fallen into the mortal world!

"What's the situation?"

Vasnov chose to explode with the Godhead, and his consciousness shattered into hundreds, sinking along with the fragments of the Godhead...... The point is, why didn't the Golden Heavenly Divine Wing stop those fragments? ”

Ronan was surprised.

The other three had the same expression.

Surreel immediately mobilized the authority in the formation and asked the leader of the Golden Heavenly Divine Wing.

The latter just glanced at the mages and replied coldly:

"He has already chosen to live to die, so why kill them all?"

"And his consciousness will become an idiot for a long time after he is exposed, are you afraid of an idiot?"

"Besides, there is a question mark over whether these godhead fragments can find a suitable host.

The order given to us by the master is to intercept the gods who are trying to cross the line, not to intercept an idiot. ”

The mages were speechless.

In fact, at their level, they faintly guessed the intention of the Cataclysmic Mage.

Back then, she was fully capable of completely destroying the gods, but she didn't do so, and just chose to go into exile.

Therefore, she must have understood that one day the gods would return.

"So this scene, is that what she wants to see?"

Linde muttered as she looked at the flames burning in the sky.

Ronan was puzzled:

"Do you think Vasnov knew about this situation in advance, or did he really give it a go and unexpectedly succeed?"

No one could answer him that question.

Linde glanced down at the thousands of golden lights scattered into the world under the funnel:

"With so many angels dead and extraordinary energy falling into the world, Aindo estimates that there will be another group of strong people."

"I hope that among these people, the main force that will resist the gods and monsters of the outer plane in the future will be born......"

Surrell said softly:

"Yes."

"I've just predicted the trajectory of the Gods of War fragments, and most of them will follow the meteorite rain to the Watcher Heights and the Far North Floating City."

"The affairs of these two places should not be worrying about us for the time being."

At this time, outside the multi-curved surface, in the endless darkness, a large number of white and vast light spots appeared.

There are also some outlines that look like whales or flying elephants in the points of light.

The mages' expressions all became very serious.

Because they know.

These creatures are astral scavengers drawn to the withered angels.

Among them are the notorious astral termites, the ravenous baleen whales, and the legendary creature Bone Flyer.

These monsters alone are not difficult to deal with.

But it takes a bit of work to clean it up.

The mages lifted their spirits and began to manipulate the outer formation spells of the Permanent Barrier.

Death, and it continues.

……

Cross City.

St. Oak District.

Beyond the lush walls of oak trees and the scorched earth smell of swords.

Matthew crosses the atrium of an old building.

This is the temple of the Earth Spirits.

The Druids of the Earth Society are similar to the Moonlight Society, in that they both observe the ways of nature and worship the gods associated with the natural realm.

At first they worshipped the god of the earth.

Since the death of the god of the earth, the object of worship of the Earth Society has been changed to a natural spirit who followed the Earth Society back then.

That is, the spirit of the earth now.

"At the end of the path ahead, there is the entrance to the underground sanctuary, which is the last guard, and only two archdruids are allowed to enter that area, even within our Earth Society, with the exception of you, of course."

Delong pointed to the path ahead and said:

"I can only send it here, and I wish you a pleasant conversation with the Earth Spirits."

Matthew nodded.

After verifying his identity with the two guards in front of him, he went alone to a deep garden.

The garden is home to a myriad of exotic flowers and plants.

There are no gardeners pruning here, so all kinds of plants grow very freely.

But vaguely, they follow a certain tacit understanding and law, and they do not encroach on each other's living space.

So Matthew could barely find the path that led deep into the garden among the overgrown weeds.

He walked for a while.

There was an abrupt stop.

In front of it is a crooked old locust tree.

The roots of the locust tree are very thick, like a huge millstone, and the branches on it appear to be dotted with stars, not very prosperous.

However, it wasn't the old locust tree that made Matthew stop.

Rather, it is the shadow under the locust tree.

Although the shadow itself does not have any abnormal movements.

But Matthew still keenly captures the beastly life hidden within.

He slowed down and walked over silently.

A moment later.

The moment he stepped into the shadows.

A somewhat familiar voice sounded in his ears quickly:

"Don't go any further, Mr. Matthew!"

The silhouette of a humanoid creature emerges from the shadows.

Matthew looked surprised.

Even if it's just the outline.

He can also recognize the identity of the other party:

"Leila? How did you end up here? ”

Shadow Oath Bearer Lyra!

It was Matthew who had sent her to the Warden Heights to find Eli's whereabouts, and in later letters, Leila said that she was seriously injured and needed to find a place to recuperate, and Matthew came to Cross City and tried to contact her, but ultimately failed.

Unexpectedly, this drow warrior actually came to the depths of the underground sanctuary!

"I didn't come to you, I just used the power of the shadows to remind you of the trap ahead!"

Leila's voice was very anxious, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to finish speaking:

"Listen to me first, don't go through that door, don't go in!"

Matthew looked up.

Not far from the depths of the trail was the entrance to the Underground Sanctuary that Delon had mentioned, the door in Leila's mouth.

"What's the situation? You speak slowly. ”

Matthew realized that something was wrong.

"While I was investigating the Scourge Order, I accidentally bumped into Mr. Eli, who was fighting the Queen of the Whalers, so I went to help, but that woman was too powerful, and neither Mr. Eli nor I was her opponent."

"The woman seemed to be interested in Mr. Eli and took him away after knocking him unconscious, while she was so hostile to me that I was almost killed by her, and it was the power of the Dusk Creation Garan that blessed me at the critical moment."

"He has taken me into the shadows, and I have been spared my life for it, but on the condition that I either become a slave to Gaylan forever, or do something for him."

"Until then, I won't be able to escape the shadow realm."

Leila's voice was calm.

There was not the slightest frustration at being controlled by the Twilight Creation Gailan.

"What are you going to do for him?"

Matthew asked.

Leila said quickly:

"It doesn't matter, the important thing is that I learned from Gaylan that something went wrong with the Soul of Nature enshrined in the Earth Society, and that he had secretly imprisoned the two Great Druids, the Voice of the Earth and the Silver Wolf!"

"I don't know more information, but there must be something wrong with the Earth Spirit, I know that you have always had a great relationship with the Spirit of Nature, and I was worried that the Earth Spirit would not be good for you, so I waited and finally ran into you......"

Something is wrong with the Earth Spirits?

Two Grand Druids in captivity?

Matthew chuckled.

But Leila's current situation also made him hesitate.

So he asked:

"What did Gaylan tell you to do?"

Leila was silent for a while, and said with some confusion:

"He wants to talk to you."

"This is too dangerous for you, so I am not willing to carry out His orders, even if you become His slave, I do not want you to risk your life."

Speaking of which.

Her voice suddenly became panicked:

"Get out of here, and remember, stay away from shadowy places for the rest of the ......"

Lyra's words weren't finished.

The shadow under the oak tree suddenly began to expand rapidly, quickly enveloping Matthew!

"Horse ...... Repair ......"

An extremely distant voice rang out.

"Let's talk......"

Matthew's heart began to twitch, and a feeling of extreme pain rose from the bottom of his heart.

But in an instant.

This feeling is diminished.

Because at that moment, a small space-time crack suddenly appeared on Matthew's shoulder, and a light fairy came out of it.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Matthew!"

"Do you have time to listen to me tell the story of the mad second hand today?"

The little stream looked at Matthew expectantly.

It's different from before.

Matthew noticed that this time there was a mini alarm clock on the chest of the stream that was clicking away.

The alarm clock goes every time.

Matthew was a little dizzy, and some strange desires suddenly appeared in his heart to vent.

Madness and shadows.

The two major realms are fighting each other, locking Matthew to the death.

Matthew took a deep breath.

is planning to open up its own field to compete with it.

But at this time.

A cute bear suddenly crawled out of that door.

"You're finally here, all the noble guests of nature's souls, Mr. Matthew."

"Looks like you're in a bit of trouble and need my help?"

The bear beckoned to Matthew in a cute manner.

However, Matthew felt a very rotten smell in it.

It's like a pile of corpses that have been stinking and rotting for years!

……

"Hint: Your ability "World Events" captures the vision of "God of War's Fall" (click here for details).

Warning: You are anchored in the following four areas -

Shadow (Twilight Maker Gaylan / Medium Lyra)

Madness (Dusk Creation Madness Second Hand / Medium Stream)

Earth (Fallen Earth Spirit Bell / Medium Bear)

Guardian (??? ）」

……

"Huh?"

Matthew was just about to open a field and run away, but he unexpectedly found that there was a fourth field that enveloped him.

It is also this field that has resisted erosion from different angles.

"Whose domain is the guardian?"

This thought had just crossed his mind.

A strand of gray hair suddenly appeared at the edge of his vision.

"You seem to be very interested in my student, so you must have prepared a meeting gift for him in such a hurry, right?"

"Let me see your sincerity, slug, little alarm clock...... And the Rypi Bear. ”

……

It's too late, change it first and then fix it, there may be a bit of a typo, I'll fix it again as soon as possible.
