A cold light flashed in Smiller's eyes. He didn't hold back his Origin Energy and erupted with all his might. It wasn't that there was something beneath the bulging ground that required him to go all out. The eruption of Origin Energy was only a warning. The Imperial General's awl spear lit up with purple lines as his Origin Energy erupted, like purple snakes wrapped around the awl spear. Smiller stabbed down with his spear, and the bulging earth dragon immediately exploded. Something flew into the air from inside and fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
It was a strange creature, the size of a hound. His head was flat, covered with bone armor, and his skin was grayish-white. He had eight spider-like limbs on both sides. Now that he was dead, his limbs were retracted, and his death was strange.
At this moment, the ground bulged one after another, and the earth dragons quickly drew towards the camp. Smiller snorted and did not draw his awl spear, but removed the giant sword behind him. He flipped backwards towards the camp, and the giant sword in mid-air swept out a dark purple crescent moon. The crescent moon landed on several Earth Dragons, blocking in front of them and colliding head-on with the crescent moon like an Earth Dragon.
The accuracy of the calculation was admirable.
The crescent moon slashed down, leaving behind a bottomless ravine on the ground. The Earth Dragons stopped at the ravine and could no longer pass through. Looking into the deep, dark ravine, the Earth Dragon was constantly emitting a greenish-yellow liquid that rolled down.
After Smiller's Origin Energy warning, Rui Jin and his team members emerged from the tents. They couldn't sleep and take off their clothes. They were fully equipped, but before they could make a move, a cold wind suddenly blew through the camp. Then, with the camp as the center, a circle of ice spikes rose from the ground. Not only did the ice spikes pierce through the ground, they also brought out strange creatures from the ground. They struggled desperately, but they were unable to break free from the ice spikes. In the end, they hung on them and died.
The attack ended just like that. It came and ended abruptly. There weren't many monsters that attacked, and they were finished in the blink of an eye under Smiller and Bai's attacks.
Allen looked at one of the monsters and suddenly felt something. His eyes lit up, and golden light streaked across them. The scenery of the forest continued to flash past Allen's eyes, and finally landed on a pair of gray eyes without pupils.
At the same time, a scream sounded from the depths of the forest. A humanoid creature with grayish-white skin crouching on a tree suddenly fell down. Its eyes looked as if they had been burned by flames. Its eye sockets were charred black, and the tissues inside had already been burnt to a crisp.
When Smiller heard the cry, he dashed over. A moment later, he used his spear to bring the humanoid creature back and pinned it to the ground.
Allen walked over to take a closer look. It was a lizardman, but it was different from the giant lizardmen with scarlet-red scales that Rui Jin and the others had encountered. This Grey Lizardman's build was similar to that of an ordinary human. There were no scales on its body, and there was only a rhombus-shaped crystal embedded in its forehead. It didn't have a tail, and it didn't even seem to have any fighting ability.
It was still struggling under the spear, trying to lift it up with both hands. Allen squatted beside it. It sensed Allen's presence and opened its mouth at Allen, revealing two rows of sharp teeth as it let out a threatening cry.
"What exactly are you?" Allen asked. He didn't expect it to answer, but he didn't expect the grey lizardman to reply.
"Teacher will kill you, intruders!"
Suddenly, the crystal on its forehead lit up. The crystal released a shattering sound, and the surging energy aura from within was extremely rich. Just as this energy was about to go out of control and explode, Allen reached out his hand and removed the lizardman's head. When he swung it out again, that head was already a hundred meters into the night sky.
Boom!
A ball of fire suddenly erupted under the night sky. The flames surged, illuminating the forest below in a sparkling red.
Allen clapped his hands and laughed. "Interesting, it's actually an intelligent life form. Teacher? What is that? "
He looked at the monster on the icicle and said, "This thing can burrow into the ground, and it looks like both a spider and a lizard. Let's just call them cave spider lizards. Up until now, the creatures that have already appeared include lizards, snake men, giant lizardmen, grey lizardmen, as well as this cave spider lizard. This is simply a complete population. You can look at these creatures, but different types have completely different roles. "
"Lizards should be used for scouting, while snake men and giant lizardmen are combat types. That grey lizardman just now didn't participate in the battle and instead observed from the distance. That should be the teacher's eyes and ears. Afterwards, it has the ability to detonate crystals and create an explosion. This needs to be recorded. Next time we encounter this kind of thing, we'll kill it first to avoid causing trouble. "
Allen stood up and looked towards the depths of the forest. "Finally, there is the teacher. Regardless of whether it is him or it, the other party knows that we have arrived. However, it seems like the other party doesn't plan to deal with us in the Forest of Darkness, so they only sent a wave of cave spider lizards to probe us. That means his big move should have been left outside the forest. "
"Let's go to sleep." He clapped his hands and led Lucy back to his own tent.
Several members threw the corpses outside the camp. Smiller continued to stand guard outside the camp with his gun in hand. Ruijin also symbolically left behind two members to keep watch. The others all returned to their tents to rest.
The flames were burning, but in this ice-cold place, the flames couldn't provide much warmth. Their main use was only for illumination.
The flames landed on a withered figure. His body was hidden within a tattered black robe. The black robe had been used for who knew how many years. The robe was tattered and looked more like a piece of cloth draped over it. Chains made of animal teeth were hanging on the black robe. Seven or eight chains hung high and low together. When he moved, the animal teeth chains would collide with each other. He walked to an underground well. This well was three meters wide. Looking down from here, there was a crack that led to an abyss. A purplish-green light flashed from the depths of the crack from time to time. One could vaguely see the outline of something in the light.
"Teacher." A stiff voice said, "Our team of earth spiders and an observer have been killed."
Under the light of the flames, it was a lizardman. It wasn't particularly tall, about the same size as an ordinary human. However, it gave off a strong feeling. Its body was covered in armor made of a mixture of bones and metal, painted in various colors. It held a warhammer in its hand. The warhammer was made of pitch-black wood, and the head of the hammer was carved with a lizard pattern.
It half-knelt in front of the withered figure and placed the warhammer on the ground. It lowered its flat head and spat out a long, snake-like tongue.
"It's normal." A hoarse and unpleasant voice came from the black hood of the teacher's robe. "Because our master is here. But like I told you before, we want to be our own masters. But to do this, we must pay a terrible price. "
"No matter how great the price is, it's worth it." The lizardman said loudly, "Since Cana gave us wisdom, you should understand that no intelligent species is willing to be slaves of others. We should have our own freedom, even if we have to fight against the Children of Dawn. "
"That's right. This is something I've been thinking about for many years. Why should we be dragged into the civil war of the Dusk Clan? Is it because one of them created us? "The teacher shook his head and his voice gradually became louder." No, it shouldn't be like this. They also started a war to get rid of the creator. Why should we obey them? Can't we fight against them? "
"No, we have to fight against fate. We have to fight against the fate that Cana imposed on us. We have to break the shackles on our clan and be our own masters! " The teacher said loudly, "Let's use the home field that Cana set up to protect this treasure house and turn it into a weapon to kill our master!"
"Skaff, go. Inform all the warriors that the battle of fate is about to begin. Let's use our blood to create an era of freedom for future generations! "
The lizardman said in a deep voice, "I will obey your orders!"
After he left, the teacher looked at the deep well and whispered, "I know you can hear it. Cana, our ending shouldn't be like this. Your will shouldn't only be used to improve the strength of the Children of Dawn. I have found a vessel that can bear your will. You will recover in another way, and then, create a new era with me. "
It took three days for Allen and his party to finally walk out of the forest. When the forest became sparse, the members of the Rattlesnake team showed relaxed expressions. After all, the psychological pressure of walking through the forest was very great. They didn't know where the enemy would suddenly appear, which made the team maintain a faint sense of tension at all times.
After walking out of the forest, there was a high slope in front of them. From here, there was a vast plain below. In the distance, they could vaguely see a silver belt that divided the plain into two. That should be something like a river.
Just below the high slope, there was a city. That's right, it was a city. Simple and crude houses made of stone could be seen everywhere. One could see that the city was distributed with complicated streets and empty squares. At the back of the city was a magnificent stone tower with many doors and windows. But because of the distance, even Allen couldn't see what was on the stone tower. But at a glance, this stone tower was the tallest building in the city. Obviously, its status was not ordinary.
"Could it be the city of those creatures?" Lucy couldn't hide the surprise on her face.
Allen squatted down on the high slope and stretched out his hand to caress the green grass on the ground. "Obviously, this is an intelligent race. It's not surprising that they could build a city. But did you notice that there is not a single person in this city? Was it abandoned a long time ago, or did the residents of the city move away? "
No one could answer this question.
Allen raised his head again. He was still unable to contact the void here, and the other party's home field was astonishingly large. However, just thinking about how Alice could support the entire Forgotten Realm's home field, if there was another treasure vault here, then such a huge home field wouldn't be surprising at all.
