Chapter 241 The Power of the Apostles

In the dead city, Chen Ping listened to the results of the investigation by the people who were "resurrected" by Jialu.

This plague was definitely caused by the apostles. They manipulated humans, or their believers, to spread the plague and use it for experiments.

Among them were the seventh apostle Plague source Plague, and Letina, whose identity was still unknown.

According to the results of this person's investigation, those people in the Scarlet Group seemed to be Plague's believers, but Plague, who Chen Ping found in the village, seemed to be forced to come to the Bali Continent.

In addition, there are their continuous experiments, which must hide a bigger conspiracy.

Chen Ping recorded the information of the person's investigation, and then prepared to leave with Jialu.

However, as soon as they set off, the dead dark elves in the city slowly stood up.

With the blessing of the plague, the dark elves, who were originally only about level 4, all broke through to level 5.

It might not be a problem for Chen Ping to deal with a dozen level 5 dark elves, but there was a city of dark elves in front of him, at least 30,000 or 40,000. Chen Ping had no intention of gaining experience here, and just wanted to leave as soon as possible, but the mechanical wings seemed to be out of order and could not be deployed at all.

Facing the dark elves surrounding him, Chen Ping looked stern. Unless he used Letina's magic stone, he would not be able to leave alive.

However, there were only two magic stones left, and he might encounter the devil later, so Chen Ping hesitated for a moment.

"Big brother... I'm scared!"

Jialu looked at the dark elves rushing over, and hid behind Chen Ping with a trembling body.

"With big brother here, no one can hurt you, it's okay!"

Chen Ping took out the Red Flame Sword, intending to fight his way out first. If he couldn't break through, he would use Letina's magic stone.

"Xiaohei, protect Jialu!"

"I... try my best!"

Xiaohei nodded, looking at the aggressive dark elves, Xiaohei felt that even self-protection was a problem.

"Shua!"

The sword came out like a dragon, and Chen Ping's dragon wing slash cleared a three or four meter long road, but it was soon filled by the rest of the dark elves, and these dark elves were increasing in number. Under their attack, Chen Ping was also a little exhausted.

"It seems that I can only..."

Chen Ping took out the magic stone, and before he could use it, there was a wave of energy behind him, and then an invisible protective shield appeared in front of Chen Ping, and all the attacks of the dark elves were blocked by this protective shield.

"Forbidden technique!"

Chen Ping was surprised. The power of this forbidden technique must be greater than his elemental domain.

He had seen in the ancient magic books that when the top forbidden technique was released, a layer of shield would be formed around the releaser. This shield was almost impeccable unless an equally powerful forbidden technique was used to attack.

And when Oris released the elemental domain, this shield had never appeared.

Chen Ping turned his head and looked behind him.

Jialu's petite body floated up, about half a meter above the ground, her head drooped weakly, and her eyes were closed.

Only the red necklace on her chest emitted a dazzling red light.

This powerful forbidden technique seemed to be released by the red necklace.

Chen Ping immediately stopped his actions and quietly watched the dark elves who kept attacking the shield.

"This is... the soul of the flame ember!" Xiao Hei looked at the forbidden technique being released, and his whole body trembled slightly.

The feeling of fear and anger intertwined with each other was something Chen Ping had never seen in Xiao Hei.

"How do you know the name of this forbidden technique?"

Chen Ping asked subconsciously. From the library of Tianmeng Academy, to the library of the Great Magician Guild, to the books of the ancient elves on the back of Tianmu Lingkun, Chen Ping's understanding of magic was far beyond that of ordinary people. There were at least thousands or even tens of thousands of magic skills in the books, but he had never seen a forbidden technique with such a strange name.

"Among the memory fragments I awakened, the most profound one was that when the Zerg army, numbering in the billions, was fighting fiercely with the demons, an apostle appeared and used this skill. In just a moment, hundreds of millions of Zergs disappeared directly!"

This is the most profound part of the memory fragments for Xiao Hei. It was the last battle of the Zerg army. The Zerg Queen fell. Afterwards, the Zergs in all walks of life lost their will and leadership, becoming real scattered sands and completely declining.

Xiao Hei was immersed in painful memories, while Chen Ping was surprised at the power of this forbidden technique.

Nearly 100 kilometers in radius were all shrouded in flames. One after another, hideous souls were forcibly peeled off from the rotten bodies. Those painful struggles and heart-wrenching howls shook the huge dead city.

Under the burning of the flames, those looming souls turned into wisps of light smoke, gathered towards Jialu, and quickly sank into her body.

"Devout believers, give your strength!"

Jialu's voice suddenly sounded in the sky, but she seemed to be in a coma now.

"This is... the power of the apostle!"

"Is Plager still alive?" Chen Ping tightened his grip on the magic stone again and looked at Jialu vigilantly.

"Plager should be dead, but the power of the apostle will not dissipate, and will only continue to look for successors!" Xiao Hei's emotions calmed down a lot, standing beside Chen Ping and whispered.

"Has Jialu become the new apostle?"

"Maybe! Either she has been chosen by the power of the apostle to become the new apostle, or the power of the apostle is temporarily sealed in her body and is looking for a new successor!"

Xiao Hei analyzed.

After a few minutes, silence returned to the surroundings again, and the flames disappeared out of thin air, along with the corpses of countless dark elves.

There was not a single body to be seen in the entire city, only decaying houses and extremely empty streets.

Even the air became clear and clean, without any disgusting smell.

"Bang!"

Jialu fell into coma again and fell to the ground. Chen Ping stepped forward to support her.

As the night got darker, Chen Ping found a relatively well-preserved house, settled Jialu first, and then lay down at the door.

After a night's rest, Chen Ping's energy consumption was completely restored, but Jialu hadn't woken up yet.

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shines on this dead dark elf city, seeming to open a new page.

At the Black Tower Camp, the eldest princess of the dark elves, Elise, walked out of her tent and looked at the rising sun, but her face was full of worry.

"Dear Princess, you are up so early!"

Boqi, who had not slept all night, was standing at the gate of the camp.

"The messenger hasn't rested?" Elais asked.

"The principality is in trouble, and as a minister, I feel uneasy!" Boqi shook his head.

"Today, it is not only the principality that is on the verge of life and death, but also the Dark Elves!" Eles sighed, and she also had trouble sleeping all night.

"I wonder if the Marquis of the Principality will bring any valuable information during this trip!"

"It must be possible!" Boqi replied firmly.

"You trust him so much?"

"Of course! The Marquis is a knight of glory personally named by Her Majesty the Queen. With the help of the Marquis this time, I believe we will be able to get to the bottom of the investigation and find the real culprit who harmed the Dark Elf clan!"

"But... even if the culprit is found now, it won't be of much use. The Dark Elf army is getting closer and closer to the border. There is no way to turn around. A war is inevitable. I don't know how many people will die in the war." middle!"

Hearing this, Bo Qi's face became even more worried.

With the Dark Elf's fighting power, it might take half a day to bulldoze Hutton City, the capital of the principality. As a minister of the principality, this is the last thing Boqi wants to see.

As for what Iles is more worried about is the Snow Clan and the Empire that he will face after capturing Hutton City. The Snow Clan itself is powerful. At the same level, the Dark Elves are definitely no match for the Snow Clan, and the overall strength of the Empire's army is very strong. He is strong, especially proficient in swordsmanship, and has four great sword masters at his command. In addition, he is known for being cunning and cunning, making him even more difficult to deal with than the Snow Clan.

After a moment of silence, suddenly a dark elf wearing armor rushed into the Black Tower camp in panic.

"Princess, there is an urgent military report from the front line!"

After hearing this, Eles immediately stepped forward, took the letter and examined it carefully. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically, and she immediately led the messenger into her tent.

"Does your Majesty have any instructions?"

"Her Majesty the Queen, please Her Majesty the Princess to find the antidote as soon as possible, otherwise the plague will spread in the army, and our Dark Elf clan will surely suffer disaster!"

Eles frowned. The content of the letter was very simple. Plague had also appeared in the Dark Elf army, and soldiers had died, which also caused the march to slow down.

Based on the current situation, there may only be tens of thousands of people left outside Hutton City. Even if Hutton City is captured, they will never be able to hold it!

"The antidote..."

Eles felt bitter in her heart. If she could find an antidote, the second largest city of the Dark Elves would not become the dead city it is today. She had no clue at all about this weird plague!

"Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, I must do my best to find the antidote as soon as possible!"

"Yes! Your Highness, I will report back to Her Majesty the Queen right now. However, the situation is urgent. If you delay for one day, countless soldiers will die. Your Highness, please hurry up..."

The messenger left the Black Tower camp with Eles' reply.

"Your Highness Princess, I wonder...what happened?" Boqi asked tentatively as he watched the messenger leave and Eles looked a little panicked.

"This matter is related to the life and death of the Dark Elf clan, so I can't go into details!"

Eles did not tell the reason, but took his cronies with him and prepared to go to the Dead City in person to investigate.

Although the dead city has been plagued by plague, this trip must be unlucky, but in order for the Dark Elf clan to survive, as the eldest princess of the Dark Elf clan, Eles has no choice.

Wearing glory comes with responsibility.

"Set off!"

When Eles was preparing to set out as if he was dead, a figure appeared outside the Black Tower camp.

"Lord Marquis, you are back!" Bo Qi's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Ping.
