Volume 1 Wind Clan Abandoned Son Chapter 118 Breath of Dawn
The canopy gradually faded from the original darkness to a touch of fish belly white.
Dawn falls.
The sudden weather changes in the Lingyuan River basin are helpless. After a summer, the tall trees grow wildly towards the sky, like tall giants looking at the ground beneath their feet.
By the end of winter, the riverbed had dried up and was littered with thorns and dead grass.
Warlock Canyon leads directly to the Lingyuan River, where there is a large area of canyon forest, withered branches divide the sky overhead into several pieces, and under the cold temperature, there are fewer and fewer ordinary creatures that can survive in the forest.
Occasionally, a few lynx figures were hidden in the dim sky that had not yet awakened, and the corpses of some reptiles could be faintly seen, rotting in the mud.
As soon as he paused, he remembered the horror of being dominated by the King of Illusions last night.
The ice arrows that he shot out with all his spiritual power slowed down in the opponent's illusion formation until they stopped......
Qi Meng could even clearly see the air currents on those arrows, stirring up tiny wisps of microwaves under the movement of the dragon.
Thanks to the mercy of his men, he was able to escape. She knew that her strength was far from that of the Illusion Patriarch, and it was better to run for her life than to resist uselessly.
As the patriarch, she had to take the lead in ensuring the safety of the spirit envoy Harriet, so she ran all the way in the direction of Warlock Canyon.
According to the pursuit ability of the illusion clansmen, they will definitely be able to find the location of the two of them before dawn.
But Ming Wei didn't have any intention of chasing after him, and he mocked mercilessly.
Qi Meng gasped for breath and escaped all night to get here.
The birds perched on the dead branches were startled by the uninvited guest and scattered in all directions, leaving behind a terrible cry.
Her mind was dizzy, and the things in front of her changed from clear to blurred, and then from blurry to ghosted, and finally she couldn't hold it anymore, and collapsed on the ground and sweated.
Dream struggled to remember the structure of the Violet Empire, the topography and vegetation density of the northeastern part of the Empire, and the depth of the area that Harriet might reach. While calculating the distance, he secretly urged the spiritual power to measure.
"Three, two, oneβ"
At the end of the field of vision, a familiar figure appeared, quickly running towards her through a bare tree shadow.
It wasn't until the man stopped in front of her that she saw Harriet's face clearly.
"Boss ......"
Harriet, too, was on the verge of exhaustion, and fell to her knees in front of Dream. Her voice was hoarse, as if someone had choked her neck.
"We can't stop...... Get out of here, the Illusionists are going to kill us...... If they find you, they'll ......."
"Of course I know, but it's shameful to run away. Qimeng struggled to sit up, although she said so, but in fact, she knew very well in her heart that with the speed they were traveling now, there was no way to escape this warlock canyon.
Or, here two more decomposing female corpses.
Either...... Turn this place into a death trap to lure enemies in.
She accepted it the moment she found Harriet, a dark determination on her icy face.
"Then ...... you" Harriet's expression was surprised at first, but in an instant she seemed to understand something, and the despair that was about to emerge from her chest made her unable to say a word.
'It doesn't matter, we still have a chance to fight back. Qimu lowered her head and looked at the girl's immature face with a loving gaze that was almost like that of a mother to a newborn baby.
"But...... No one can beat the Illusion Clan Patriarch, not even the strongest Spirit Clan Patriarch Huang Yan, how can it be with the two of us?"
Qi Meng shook his head, and his voice was gentle and low: "This is the Warlock Canyon, and the most important thing is the spirit beast. It really doesn't work, we call the spirit beast out to fight him. β
The boundless blizzard wrapped the whole world in chaos, the snow was heavy and hung all over the branches, and the wind blew and fell, looking as if the tail of the nine-tailed demon fox was gently swinging over, murderous and awe-inspiring.
"Chief, are you crazy? β
Harriet's voice trembled, clutching the arm of the dream, "In Saru Town before, our advance team was completely killed by the snow demon, if we wake up the spirit beasts here, the entire Violet Empire will be turned upside down by it!"
"What are you thinking about?" Qi Meng stared at the edge of the forest and continued, "I have such a small guts, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the Beast Beast Clan to you in the future?"
"It's okay to trade my life for Percy's life......"
"Shut up. β
"I don't want to leave an entire beast rider on my own...... Or an entire Violet empire. β
Qi Meng sneered: "Harriet, I was originally a killer with blood on my hands, and the safety of the empire and the life and death of my people have always been in my hands. β
"If someone upsets me, I'll shoot him three arrows and accompany him to the end. β
"Three Arrows ......"
"The first arrow kills, the second arrow destroys the race, and the third arrow destroys the country. β
Harriet froze.
"Last night, I already met the Patriarch of Mingyu, and if you fall into his hands, I don't know how you will be tortured to death by him......" Qi Meng smiled, pinched Harriet's face, and continued: "Look, aren't you also very smart? β
"Chief, that's not what I meant......"
"But now it's okay, he's willing to let me go, and when we get here, we have nothing to fear. β
Harriet still palpitated: "It seems that your heart has been decided. β
"As long as this underground spirit beast awakens, we don't have to worry about a mere illusion clan. You've done a great job, and as long as we're lured here, we'll win. β
"But in case ......"
"There's no if, waking them up couldn't be easier. β
"No, I mean...... What if the spirit power of the Ming Ray is already strong enough to conquer the spirit beasts here? Then wouldn't we lift a stone and hit ourselves in the foot......
"No way. Prayer shook his head and got up from the ground, "Before they can find this place, we'll walk through the forest from the east and go around to the other side of the canyon. The people who came to Warlock Canyon today are definitely not only a group of Illusion Clan......"
"Damn, we really should buy two horses. β
Just as they were about to take a shortcut through the forest, a male voice suddenly sounded behind them.
"Stop. β
The man's indifferent tone seemed to come from the extremely cold underground: "You two, are you the Beast Clan's patriarch Dream Prayer and Spirit Envoy Harriet?"
"Chief, chief...... That man was Xavier, the new emissary of the Illusion Clan, how did he find us so quickly......" Harriet tugged at the cuff of the dream, shaking desperately, fear making her voice tremble.
"Don't panic. β
"He's been chasing me here, presumably the patriarch of the illusion clan is also on his way, we're going to be finished......"
"You're Xavier, the new spirit envoy of the Illusion Clan?" Qi Meng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up, "Look at you, you're a dead man." β
"Cut. β
There was a hint of displeasure on Qi Meng's cold face: "I am the patriarch of the Beast Clan, and you are just a new spirit envoy, kneel." β
Xavier spat out a mouthful of phlegm and walked towards Qimeng with a murderous aura: "It's just a lower race, can you also be compared to the illusion clan?"
"Get on your knees. β
"Heh, both of you master and apprentice are dying, and you still hold on to your face and make me kneel ......"
Qi Meng sneered and said, "If you are obedient now, I can consider letting you and your patriarch live, otherwise...... Even if the King of Illusion has great ability, he can't close today's field. β
Xavier said viciously, "You can scare me with just one mouth?"
"When you walk in front of me, I will awaken all the spirit beasts in this forest, if you are not afraid, you try. β
"What did you say?" Xavier froze in place.
"Dewey Scat, the god of the forest, will protect me from using the power of spirit beasts!"
"Slow down," Xavier's expression showed a hint ......of panic, "Dream Patriarch, your courage is really not small, do you know how many spirit beasts are hidden in this forest, if your master and apprentice wake them all up, the entire Violet Empire will suffer!"
"Oh, looks like you know the gravity of the problem. β
"Then what the hell do you want to do, you crazy woman, let all of us let the whole Violet give you two cheap lives to be buried?" Xavier scolded angrily, shouting hoarsely, "Pray for dreams, don't think that my patriarch is still here, you can threaten me in such a despicable and shameless way!"
"I said, if you don't believe it, you can give it a try. β
Xavier's heart had begun to waver, but he showed no timidity on his face.
"Hey, don't delay the time needlessly, the Patriarch is here, you won't even survive for five minutes. β
Qi Meng calmly asked, "Am I delaying time, or are you delaying time?" You won't be naΓ―ve enough to think that I don't have the consciousness to let everyone bury you, right?"
The other party's ugly appearance of pretending to be calm made her can't help but want to laugh a little, but when she smiled, the wounds on her body were faintly painful.
"Why don't I ask a few spirit beasts with weak spiritual power to play with you first?"
Xavier swallowed and asked in a trembling voice, "You don't think it's too big enough, are you?"
There were a few rustling sounds in the forest, but there was no sound of wild beasts.
Then there was a brief silence, a dead silence.
"Try? or kneel?"
Again, stumbling, like a multi-legged creature crawling on dead leaves.
Prayer raised his hand, this time it was pure deterrence.
"Little one, they're coming......"
