Act 160 Dragon's Shadow

The roar that broke through the air quickly formed an intuitive concept in Brando's mind. If it was like the sharp sonic boom of air flow produced when a whip was swung out - then Brando could not imagine this. How big should the whip be. ()

to be exact.

It was a whip that swept across the forest.

The terrifying sonic boom swept through the entire forest in an instant. Brando felt numb in the back of his head. He subconsciously dragged Qian forward and the two of them rolled into a nearby tree hole.

Then there was a 'buzz', and the sound seemed to sweep through his brain, making his eardrums resonate. Until a few seconds later, he even felt a buzzing sound in his head for a long time. It took a long time to gradually recover. hearing.

That's really terrible.

The last moment he fell into the tree hole, he saw the roaring attack - it was a whip-shaped wall of air, about the height of a tree trunk, and a vast white sheet rolled in, sweeping half of the valley in an instant.

The moment he fell into the tree hole, the wall of air just passed over his head.

Brando couldn't help but shake his head in the darkness of the tree hole. The previous impact seemed to have cut his lips with his teeth, and his mouth was filled with the smell of blood - but he froze immediately - because he felt a piece of blood on his lips in response. soft.

If it weren't for the girl's vague aura in the darkness, he almost forgot that there was Akane underneath him.

Brando's face turned red immediately.

His vision has gradually adapted to the dark environment in the tree hole where even the stars are weak, and he gradually sees his hands propped up on the damp soil in the tree hole - and the lucky thing is - Qian is not leaning to either side, and is just being caught. He pressed himself down to face him, opening his mouth slightly and looking at him blankly like a frightened little animal.

The girl's burning amber eyes looked particularly bright in the darkness.

But it was not anger that burned, but shyness.

She almost forgot to breathe.

Both of them had blood on their lips, and there was a fishy, ​​salty taste from each other.

Brando said nothing with a straight face. He sat up and stretched out his hand stiffly to pull Qian up. Although I have obviously restrained myself from thinking about what happened before, I don't know why, the memory is so fresh and vivid.

The soft, girly fragrance echoed on my lips,

There is a touch of wildness with blood, which seems to melt people's thinking.

It obviously happened in an instant, but it played out repeatedly in his memory, as if he was living in the previous moment forever.

Neither of them spoke.

Brando couldn't help but want to cover his face. This was the first kiss that the magician failed in the previous life and even in this life. He lost it so embarrassingly inexplicably.

He couldn't help comforting himself, maybe kissing Roman on the forehead should be regarded as his first kiss - but even he couldn't accept this lame excuse.

But it’s not the first time for Qian.

The red-haired girl felt that her whole body was going to be so hot until it melted and turned into something like water that seeped into the cold soil under her body. She stared blankly and was confused until she was pulled up by Brando.

"Yeah, sorry."

The two people said together.

Akane said 'Ah' and lowered her head.

Brando felt his face burning, as if the dangers outside the forest had disappeared, or were simply forgotten by him, despite having two decades of experience.

But he was not prepared at all for this.

Until Otales burst into laughter, this crisp laughter woke Brando up like a silver bell in the dark, "Little guy, you are so cute."

Lando coughed: "...What did that happen just now? Did you see clearly, Lady Otales?"

Otales seemed to have discovered a new continent, but she was not in a hurry to press forward. Instead, she replied: "It looks like the tail of something. I must have read it correctly."

Tail?

This word was like a basin of cold water pouring Brando from head to toe. What could have such a big tail? He was suddenly startled, and suddenly remembered that the previous attack really seemed like a dragon's tail sweep attack.

But if it’s really a tail sweep——

Martha is on.

How big is that dragon?

"Wait, is there no entity?" Brando suddenly took a breath and asked.

"It seems to be an air creature," Otales replied: "But at a glance, I can barely see that it is a creature made of some kind of cloud or water mist."

"It's a monster." Brando corrected, and he turned back: "Qian."

Akane also reacted at this time, although her face was still cutely red: "I understand, Lord Lord - wait!" The girl was suddenly startled: "My gun is still outside!"

She raised her head and saw that Brando had climbed up the tree hole.

What Brando was thinking about at this time was that Mephistopheles and Veronica should still be in the open space over there just now, but these two guys would not be instantly killed by that blow - although this is not impossible, However, Brando still finds this a bit incredible when a great man in history hangs in front of him.

Even if he was originally here to change history.

But this is too baffling.

He climbed out of the tree hole, and first saw Akane's thunder gun falling not far away, but as soon as Brando saw the scene outside, his expression immediately changed, his head shrank, and he hid back in the tree hole -

Akane saw that her lord had a strange face and cold sweat on his forehead.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Brando quickly put his finger on his lips to signal her to keep quiet.

"What is that?" He couldn't help asking Otales in his heart.

"Even if you ask that, I don't know, little one," Otales also took a breath of air. Although the monsters in the black forest are all kinds of strange, the things outside are too outrageous: "It looks like... …”

She thought for a moment before finding a reliable word: "Ten or fifteen basilisks."

But Brando waited for a long time, and after confirming that the thing had not discovered him, he stuck his head out and carefully looked at the other person. If the first sight was just a shock, then the second time he confirmed that the thing was not his hallucination. .

Even Brando couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of insignificance rising from the deepest part of his soul. He felt that his hands and feet were a little weak.

He raised his head and looked at the huge thing that stood on the earth and penetrated the heaven and earth——

Above the forest.

Above layers of clouds and mist.

Behind the layers of clouds and mist, fifteen white giant dragon heads made of clouds and mist are slowly looking around over the mountain peaks. It stands on the forest, and the dark green, layered canopy is like a carpet at its feet. And this giant beast is more like a white mountain range.

A mountain range made of clouds.

Brando couldn't help but think of the thick cumulonimbus clouds he saw in the sky in the summer in the past days, and this thing was a bit similar to those unpredictable clouds.

It is in the forest and occupies half of the sky.

Brando looked at this giant beast and found it difficult to even breathe. Should this thing really appear in this mission? It looks like a creature with a perfect body.

Mythical creatures.

"Brando." Ortales's voice came from his heart.

"kindness?"

"This thing... well, it seems to be the saint multi-headed dragon... the ancestral beast..."

"Shouldn't the ancestral beast be a physical creature?" Brando felt that his mouth was a little dry.

"Probably...probably a projection." Otales couldn't even be sure. After all, creatures like the sea beast Leviathan, Ouroboros Jörmungandr, and the saint multi-headed dragon Hydra, even among dozens of A century ago it was just a legend.

Even projections can kill people, Brando thought.

"Wait, Brando." The female knight suddenly said again.

"What's wrong?"

"It seems like there's fog in the forest."

"Foggy?" Brando was startled. He looked around and saw that the fog was rising little by little in the forest - Brando thought it was snow fog at first, but after a while, he realized that the wind had stopped and the snow had stopped. Also stopped.

It's just that there's some weird silence among the trees.

There is no mention in mythology that the ‘ancestral beast’ has the ability to control mist——

Brando subconsciously raised his head, his eyes shrank slightly, and he immediately saw the huge cloud wall in the sky slowly advancing, and where it passed, it was far and near the dark mountains and forests between the sky and the earth. Thunder and lightning.

In the darkness, those light pillars representing civilization and order were flickering, and then extinguished one by one.

Like a candle blown out in a storm——

"The wall in the cloud is beginning to close again!" Brando felt his eyelids jump.

And at the same moment.

Caglis, who was hiding under the holy white stone, sat next to Media, holding the hand of Priestess tightly, staring at this terrible scene in stunned silence. Dozens of light beams far and near in the southern sky were extinguished at the same time——

One after another, they flicker and then disappear.

The disappearance of each beam of light not only represents the disappearance of life, but also the annihilation of a hope in the darkness.

No one spoke.

Antitina sat next to the bonfire on the other side, raising her head and the light in her dark eyes disappeared little by little. The air was already cold to the bone. She hugged her knees as if this was the only way to bring herself some warmth.

The Lord was gone and Akane was taken away. The sudden changes in the sky made Antitina feel extremely uneasy. But she couldn't show this uneasiness yet, only her pale and slender fingers unconsciously clutching the skirt on her knees could reflect her true state of mind.

Flo sat next to her, as silently as ever, which made the noble lady feel a little more at ease.

She took a breath and looked to the other side.

Veronica left others to monitor them when she left. There were about a hundred people in the Cruz envoy. It was not impossible for the tree elves under Quinir and the remaining centaur elder guards to resist, but Anti Tina did not agree to do this.

Anyway, they have to wait here for Brando to come back.

Antitina looked at the leader of the Cruz group - a countess - in fact, the woman was only slightly older than her, but she was so beautiful that it was enviable.

Her face seemed to combine the smoothness and perfection of a classical goddess statue - she stood there quietly, neatly wearing a thick black and purple woolen coat, violet-like light purple long hair hanging down her shoulders, her whole body People are full of a mysterious and elegant temperament.

However, Antitina found some similarities with herself in the other person. She was equally calm and rational, but her slightly frowning eyebrows reflected the other person's true inner thoughts.

"She is worried," Antitina couldn't help but be slightly distracted. She raised her head and looked at the sky: "What is she worried about, or is this strange omen foreshadowing something?"

But Delphine didn't notice Antitina's gaze. She just looked at the increasingly dense fog outside the Holy White Stone and murmured: "The light has gone out. Is this the magic tide... Elman, you where……"
