Chapter 453: The Wrath of Nature!
on the desk.
Five light golden Dragon Pledge Stones are lined up. These stones are all legendary-level wonders, made by Stephen himself, and completed when he reached a covenant with other giant dragons on the Elemental Plane. They are special wonders made of fire jade, the effect is similar to magic scrolls, as long as they are crushed, they will automatically release the "Dragon Covenant" with eight rings, and summon an adult dragon to help, but there is no need to pay extra gems as a reward . Stephen made a total of six Dragon Pledge Stones after reaching the covenant, and one of them was given to Catwoman-Brigitte, because she often had to run outside and deal with the cultists of the Moon Worship Sect.
The other five Dragon Pledge Stones Stephen has other arrangements, he himself does not need such strange objects, because with his strength he can easily perform the Dragon Covenant.
"Did something happen to Master Xu?" Stephen's expression was a little uncertain.
The crescent moon is the base camp of the star of death omen.
Normally, if everything goes well, Master Xu will return in the afternoon of the second day, but it is already the third day.
And what worries Stephen even more is that the Eye of Death is still sealed in Master Xu's body. If something happens to him, all the previous efforts will be in vain, and the Eye of Death can be resurrected with the ability of the Star of Death.
"I'm waiting for a day. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the crescent moon myself." Stephen said to himself.
Crescent Moon, Zenda, Fire Spirit Fortress.
This is an incomparably barren land. There is an active volcano next to the canyon. The terrain here is obviously man-made, and it looks quite easy to defend and difficult to attack.
At this moment, in the yellow sand all over the sky, countless weird sandworms are attacking the Fire Spirit Fortress.
Since the crescent moon was corroded by ancient evils, many creatures have become extinct, but there are still some creatures that adapt to the environment and reproduce, and the sandworm is one of them that is most suitable for the desert environment. There are a huge number of them all over the planet. In the most difficult time, the people of Crescent Moon even survived the most difficult thing by hunting sandworms, although the meat of these sandworms is really unpalatable.
"How could such sandworms attack us!" Master Xu's figure appeared on the city wall.
Next to him are two women with similar looks, one looks more mature and charming, while the other looks much more immature and looks like a girl. However, it is certainly not easy to be able to stand side by side with Master Xu. One can know that the identities of the two of them are absolutely extraordinary by looking at Master Xu's respectful attitude towards them.
Both women have long fiery red hair, their pupils are like brilliant rubies, and they are wearing bright gauze dresses.
"They should have been corrupted by the star of death omen."
"Recently, the frequency of attacks by monsters has started to increase. I'm afraid the next wave of attacks will come soon." The more mature woman said in a low voice.
She turned her head and glanced at Master Xu and asked, "Is there any progress on your side?"
Master Xu nodded and said: "I have found some ways to deal with the star of death omen. But I need some help."
The mature woman nodded slightly and said, "That's good. Let Lilia help you."
The voice just fell.
She suddenly frowned and looked to the northwest, where a group of ferocious monster insects appeared. They looked like huge and ugly scorpions with thick carapaces, and at the same time they could spit out corrosive gas. liquid. Their appearance suddenly brought enormous pressure to the defense of the Fire Spirit Fortress. Ordinary soldiers couldn't eliminate these huge scorpions that were seven or eight meters long.
"I'll come as soon as I go." The more mature and charming woman said.
A loud and clear phoenix cry sounded.
Immediately afterwards, her figure rose into the sky, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a divine steed fire bird burning raging fire all over its body. Countless flames rose from its outstretched wings, as if the entire sky was ignited in an instant.
--"Phoenix!"
In the east they are called phoenixes, but the outside world more often refer to these powerful divine creatures as 'phoenixes'.
A terrifying flame storm quickly took shape on the battlefield. Countless demonized sandworms were directly burned to death. The phoenix circled in the sky, and then swooped down towards the huge scorpions.
A flame more terrifying than the dragon's breath spewed out!
Almost at the moment of fighting, all the demonic scorpions were wiped out. Deeper in the sand, the breath of the phoenix made some beings feel afraid, as if they had heard some order, some higher-level demonic insects began to attack. retreated, and the corrupted sandworms were left behind.
A sea of flames spread rapidly.
After circling twice in the sky, the phoenix reappeared in human form and landed on the fortress.
But at this moment, her mature and charming face was slightly tired, and the girl next to her quickly went over to support her, and said softly: "Mother, are you okay?"
"fine."
"Just a little tired." The more mature woman stroked her daughter and said.
Master Xu beside him watched all this silently, his expression was a little anxious and worried. Since the Dark Years, the four and a half gods have been protecting Zenda day and night. Now they are quite exhausted just maintaining the four-spirit magic circle. If the star of death omen suddenly launches a large-scale attack, the four and a half gods will God may not be able to sustain it. The phoenix is the most powerful of the four demigods, and even she is a bit overdrawn now, presumably the other demigods are in worse condition. The Feathered Snake God in Fengling Canyon had been asleep for a long time, and this time Master Xu was also attacked when he returned to Xianyue, but fortunately, Zen Da had stationed heavy troops in Fengling Canyon, so there was no major problem.
"I don't have much time left." Master Xu said to himself.
The monster's offensive quickly subsided.
At this moment, a monk wearing a white robe appeared nearby, he folded his hands towards Master Xu and said, "Master Xu, the Great Elder wants to see you."
Seeing the other party's serious expression, Master Xu couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, he nodded towards the phoenix next to him, and quickly walked towards the direction of the teleportation circle.
"Mother? What happened? Why did they leave in such a hurry?" The girl named Lilia next to her whispered.
The phoenix shook its head and sighed: "I am afraid that the time of the great elder is running out."
Although legendary monks can live forever, immortality does not mean immortality. Once their lives reach a critical point, their bodies will begin to age rapidly. If a Legendary Monk seems to be showing signs of aging, it means that they don't have much life left.
"Didn't mother already extend her life once for the Great Elder?" the girl whispered.
The more mature woman couldn't help looking into the distance, as if she was reminiscing about something, and said softly: "The Great Elder is just a human being. And the lifespan of a human being is very short."
"In the year of darkness, in order to fight against the star of death omen, he has already left a corrupted dark wound on his body."
"It's all because of a strong will that he can support until now!"
A trace of worry appeared on the girl's face when she heard the words, and she murmured: "If the Great Elder dies, the situation in the Zenda Council may become even more chaotic."
Phoenix shook his head and did not speak again.
After a while, she said softly: "Lilia, if the crescent moon really can't hold it anymore, you can stay in Mortera."
This is already a bit of a solitary meaning.
The girl immediately became anxious when she heard this, and said, "Mother! I won't abandon you! If you want to leave, let's go together!"
The mature woman smiled and stroked the young girl's long hair, and said slowly: "Since I have accepted the gift from Xianyue and become a demigod, I must bear my due responsibilities."
"You are different."
"You still carry the continuation of the phoenix on your shoulders! Do you understand?"
The girl fell silent when she heard the words, then stretched out her arms and hugged the mother in front of her tightly, and murmured: "We will definitely defeat the star of death omen!"
In the distant desert.
A strange oasis appeared on the land corroded by the star of death omen, but the environment of this oasis is a bit weird, surrounded by huge date palm trees, the tough bark reveals a hint of dark red, The surrounding area is covered with thorn bushes with sharp thorns. If ordinary people pass through it, they may have scars all over their bodies. However, the druids in these thorn bushes are all druids wearing scholar robes. They wear blood-red thorn-patterned emblems and hold all kinds of strange tools in their hands. They are testing the land, plants, and water sources of the entire oasis. etc.
"Your Excellency Arundo! We seem to have succeeded! This oasis is recovering!" A rather elderly scholar said a little excitedly.
In front of him was Arendor, the Tree Shepherd, who hadn't been seen in Zenda for a long time. At this moment, this powerful druid has changed drastically. His thick beard is entangled like tree roots, and his skin has become very tough and rough. , there are dead wood-like lines on the arm, the whole person does not look very human anymore, the characteristics of the treant have become obvious, but it is not the kind of tree full of vitality, on the contrary, there is a trace of blood and cruelty breath. However, the legendary druid's sanity was very clear, his slightly red eyes were full of brilliance, and he nodded excitedly, "Yes."
"Nature is recovering!"
Not far from them, many young apprentices were transforming the land. They filled piles of monster corpses into the excavated tunnels, and then covered them with dark red thorns and vines. Accompanied by low-pitched spells, The thorns and vines spread and grew little by little. After being covered with soil, the corpses of these monsters quickly turned into nutrients and decomposed, and the severely desertified land became fertile again.
"Nature is tenacious! It won't give in so easily to the star of death omen!" Arendo-the tree shepherd murmured, watching everything in front of him.
After speaking, he looked down at his hands.
His body has already appeared corrupt and degenerate, but it is not the withered person after the druid's fall, but another kind of power that is more full of predatory aggression.
Just like the piranhas and piranhas in the natural world, Arendo-the tree shepherd has found a new power to fight against ancient evils!
This force represents the wrath of nature!
They are nature's avengers!
They called themselves - 'Blood Druids'!
