Chapter 1149 Challenger Under the Sky
When the sun disappeared little by little among the mountains, the entire plain was dyed with a layer of red clouds.
This kind of red is different from the ephemera of life, appearing pure and transparent.
At times like this, Ersluk always likes to stay high up and feel the distance between himself and the sky.
Although it can fly higher, the disturbance of magic power will not only break the silence, but the dome that can never be touched will also deepen the sense of distance.
On the contrary, when I sit quietly, the golden clouds and the red and purple sky seem to be only one step away.
Such experiences are uncommon.
Most of the time, the top of the head is covered with floating mayflies. Although being among them makes Ersluk feel more comfortable, it also creates a thick veil between it and the sky.
It is probably one of the few individuals in the tribe who does not like to stay in the Tower of Birth.
But Ersluk doesn’t consider himself an outlier.
It just wants to embrace the source of magic more than others.
That's right, the source comes from the sky.
Humans call it the red moon, which is somewhat appropriate.
According to legend, after all inheritances are obtained, the tribe will usher in the final upgrade - the passage between heaven and earth will be opened, allowing them to enter the sky.
There is no doubt that there is a wider place than the existing world.
Perhaps it is also the abode of the gods.
By then, they will be a hundred times more powerful than they are now, and their bodies will become immortal due to the surging magic power.
Ersluk did not fully believe this rumor that has been circulated to this day.
It also tried to fly high into the deep sky under its own power.
Unfortunately, without being able to replenish life ephemera, it discovered that after rising to a certain height, various obstacles would appear - such as a sudden drop in temperature, ice on the armor, poor blood flow, difficulty breathing, etc. If you use magic power to fight discomfort, the breathing tank you carry will soon be exhausted.
The highest it flew, it almost killed him on the spot.
But it was that attempt that deepened its desire for the sky.
Because in the purple-black sky, it did see something, but in retrospect, it was difficult to describe it in words.
If I had to say it, it was probably like a flash of scales.
This also means that the rumors are not unfounded.
And it also heard a faint call at that time.
It was like a whisper, or like a low chant echoing directly in my mind.
Ersluk knew that this was a sign that the world of consciousness was moving closer to it.
It's a pity that it is still a little far away from the higher realm.
He who can take the initiative to open the door between the two worlds can be called a great king.
Just as it closed its eyes to feel the warmth of the afterglow and the evening breeze blowing on its face, footsteps came from behind.
"Lord Ersluk, all preparations have been completed."
The reporter is none other than its rising body bodyguard.
"Very good." Ersluk said without looking back, "Just continue to monitor us."
"Yes." The guard did not leave immediately after responding, but said hesitantly, "But will those bugs really act according to our plan? They should have fully understood your ability... In order to lay a trap, we The price paid is quite high, if the Lord of the Sky finds out..."
"Well, your statement is not unreasonable, but I think it is worth doing." Ersluk opened his eyes and looked to the south - now standing on the "horn", it can already vaguely see the black stripe trajectory. During the six months of testing, many protozoans died in front of human positions, but they never wavered in the opponent's advance. That trajectory is like a root, growing slowly but perseveringly.
This was the first time in its memory that human beings could not fall behind in a head-on confrontation without relying on city walls.
Although this method is ridiculously clumsy, if placed in the mayfly coverage area, it can have countless ways to make the opponent pay a heavy price, but it is surprisingly difficult to chew on this vast and fertile plain. The limited number of troops on hand is certainly a major reason, but even if the monarch mobilizes more troops for it, it will inevitably suffer considerable losses against humans who have fully established a foothold.
It must nip this budding army in its nascent stage.
"How do you feel about the recent battles? Do you feel like you can't move forward?"
The guard was silent for a moment, "That's because we are fighting against the odds."
"No, it was the enemy who made us fight our last." Ersluk corrected, "We also established an outpost in an attempt to further expand the supply range of life floats, but it did not play the role it did four hundred years ago. Because humans now have further attack means than "Tombstones". Whether you view the other person as a bug or not, you have to admit it. In addition, every move we make is under the observation of the witch, so we feel like we are running into obstacles everywhere. "
It paused, stretched out its right hand towards the black track, and clenched it into a fist little by little, "As long as we don't erect the Tower of Birth, we can't change this situation. Therefore, I want to destroy the opponent before he wakes up." Lose their eyes and chop off their arms so that they can no longer do the same thing again - even if it costs two "horns"! "
As he spoke, Ersluk showed a grin, and the agitated magic power spurted out, making the surrounding air tremble. It knew that someone was watching it in the camp at the end of the black track. This move may have aroused the vigilance of humans and caused them to cause chaos.
"I swear to follow you!" Feeling its surging power, the guard lowered his head respectfully.
There was one more thing Ersluk didn't say.
It feels like it's just a hair away from the next breakthrough.
This war may be an opportunity.
After all, bloody fighting has always been the most effective way to improve. Even if you become a king, you will not refuse such a challenge.
If it can cross that hurdle and be promoted to the new king, then no matter what the Lord of the Sky thinks, it is impossible to argue with it anymore.
As for whether humans will act, Ersluk is not worried.
It has long been aware of the greed of its opponents.
As long as the bait is rich enough, they will not let it go easily.
The sun finally set completely under the mountain, and the last bit of afterglow dissipated. The sky was completely covered by night, leaving only faint starlight and darkness above the head.
This scene seems to overlap with the scene when it sprints towards the sky.
That day, it confirmed its desire.
Now, it is getting closer to that goal.
What humans are thinking at the moment...maybe they are the same as themselves, right?
In this fateful competition, only the last winner standing will be qualified to reach the realm that no one has ever seen and touch the source of magic.
It is full of expectations for the imminent decisive battle.
