"Ah!!"
An extremely mournful cry sounded from the underground of the Holy Land. On the platform where the Holy Coffin was placed, a saintess rolled down from the stone platform. She was holding her head, and her entire body was covered in purplish-green veins. Her eyes and nose were bleeding, and she looked extremely terrifying. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and dark yellow flames spewed out of her eyes and mouth.
The flames continued for a few seconds before disappearing. The saintess fell to the ground and died. Her mouth was wide open, but her eyes and mouth were charred, and sparks could be seen around her.
Seeing this, the mentor was unmoved. He only tapped his wooden crutch, and two lizardmen warriors carried the corpse down. Then, the mentor's hoarse voice sounded from the black robe. "Next."
Thus, the second saintess stood up, took off her robe without hesitation, and lay flat on the cold stone platform, allowing the branches at the edge of the stone platform to wrap around her.
The mentor looked at the Holy Coffin and murmured, "I will definitely succeed."
At the same time that the first saintess died, Allen woke up from his deep sleep. The sky gradually brightened, and a faint morning mist floated in the Ashen Corpse Forest. The sunlight shone into the forest and landed on the mist, reflecting many strange lights and shadows.
The night before had been surprisingly peaceful. This forest was the nest of the Cave Spider Lizards, but the creatures moving underground did not disturb them, which was very unusual.
Ellen frowned. He seemed to have heard an extremely faint and mournful cry in his ears. He quickly analyzed and came to a conclusion. This cry did not appear somewhere in the forest, but was directly reflected in his will.
This was very strange. What was it that could be reflected in his spiritual will? One had to know that Allen's will was indomitable, and few other wills could affect him.
After thinking about it to no avail, he decided to ignore this matter for now. The Rattlesnake members woke up one after another. The lizard slave, Abby, picked some wild fruits and placed them in front of Allen, then made a gesture to indicate that they were edible. Allen nodded. Abby looked at him and walked to the side.
Allen felt that the lizard slave seemed to want to say something, but he did not think too deeply. After all, everyone had their own problems. Allen picked up one of the wild fruits. It looked like an apple, but it was yellow. He wiped the dust off the fruit and put it in his mouth to take a bite. It was sweet and sour.
After the team finished breakfast, they continued their journey. It was still Abby who led the way. He carefully probed the ground and led the team forward. They had already entered deep into the Ashen Corpse Forest, even though this forest was not as dark as the Forest of Darkness. But as the team advanced, the light in the forest began to dim. Thanks to the wide gaps between the trees, it was not as dark as the Dark Night Forest. However, the pillars of light that penetrated into the forest were extremely precious. Moreover, they seemed to have the suspicion of obstructing one's vision.
The surface area of the soil in the forest grew larger and larger. Sometimes, they had to go around an area of over a hundred square meters before they could find a new path. As a result, the speed at which they advanced became even slower.
Following Abby through the twists and turns in the forest, even Allen soon lost his sense of direction. However, there were many ways to tell the direction in the forest. The humidity of the soil, the color of the leaves, and even the direction of the grass — anyone with experience could find the direction through these details.
Abby was no exception. He seemed to be relying on certain fungi in the forest. From time to time, the lizard slave would carefully poke at the rotten leaves or roots on the ground and find some fungi. Then, he would use his own method to determine the direction.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon. The team stopped to rest. Abby found some wild fruits and placed them beside Allen. Just as he was about to leave, Allen stopped him. "How much longer do we have to walk in the forest?"
The lizard slave raised his head, then lowered it again. "Tomorrow at the earliest."
"Oh," Allen said before letting him leave. Abby suddenly stopped after two steps. He crouched on the ground and listened. Then, he jumped up and shouted, "Up the tree!"
He desperately pointed at the tree.
Rachel and the others could not understand what he was saying, but they understood his gestures. They all looked at Allen. Allen knew that it was probably the Cave Spider Lizard. He nodded and had the Rattlesnake members climb up the tree. Together with Lucy, they climbed up the tree.
Allen, Smillet, and Bai remained on the ground.
After a while, they could feel the ground shaking from all directions. It was as if thousands of soldiers and horses were surrounding them.
Suddenly, the ground in a part of the forest bulged, and an Earth Dragon quickly pushed in their direction. Bai waved his hand at the Earth Dragon, and an icicle quickly formed in mid-air. Then, a white light flashed in the forest. The icicle was nailed into the ground, and the Earth Dragon immediately stopped.
More Earth Dragons quickly pushed in from all directions. Looking around, there were hundreds of bulges on the ground. It was as if the ground of the entire forest had been raised a lot. Cave Spider Lizards charged at Allen and the others from underground.
Bai raised his hand, and the temperature of the surrounding air dropped. Icicles quickly formed above his head and shot out like missiles. He did not deliberately aim. After all, there were so many spider lizards underground. When the icicles were shot down, a large number of spider lizards were nailed to the ground.
Smillet pulled out the giant sword from behind him and strode in the opposite direction of Bai. The giant sword slashed from afar. Every time it slashed, a thunderbolt swept across the ground. Then, the soil flew up, and spider lizards' corpses were constantly thrown out.
The two of them protected Allen in the middle. With Bai's icicles and Smillet's giant sword, not a single spider lizard could enter the area where the three of them were.
However, the spider lizards were endless. They did not know how many spider lizards the Lizard Tribe had invested. Allen frowned. He stretched out his hand, and golden flames rose from his palm. The golden flames condensed into a fireball in his hand. Allen flipped his hand, and his palm faced down. The fireball fell and landed on the soles of his feet. However, it did not explode. Instead, it burrowed deep into the soil.
Then, a golden light lit up under Allen's feet. The light began to spread, and golden bands of light appeared on the ground. Each band of light was a tunnel that the spider lizards had dug underground. These bands of light spread out in a radial manner, quickly covering every inch of the ground in the forest. Finally, they covered an area of nearly one square kilometer!
From the sky, it looked like this area was covered with golden patterns. Then, golden flames shot out from these patterns at the same time. In an instant, rows of golden flames shot up from the ground into the sky. Countless spider lizards were instantly burned to ashes. Even the plants and trees on the ground were ignited by the flames.
Other than the trees where Lucy and the rest were, the forest was filled with golden flames!
The screams of the spider lizards could be heard from the flames. Very soon, no other sounds could be heard. Allen pressed down with his hand, and the flames were quickly suppressed. Finally, they disappeared. The forest within one square kilometer had turned into scorched earth, and there were green smoke everywhere.
At this time, when a tree branch was used to turn over the soil, thick smoke would surge out. Allen used a fireball to burn all the spider lizards in the area. This scene appeared in one of the raw crystals in Devil Gold City. Awanda's pupils shrank when he saw it.
"What kind of power is this?"
Awanda exclaimed. "I have never seen such a terrifying flame. Even the Heavenly Void Fire does not have such power!"
"This invader used the Divine Language. Teacher said that he is our enemy of destiny. It is not surprising that he has such power. Otherwise, Teacher would not have mobilized the entire race. "
Hiero, who had already returned, said.
"It's strange that Teacher suddenly transferred Syl back to the Holy Land. Doesn't he know that we need every bit of combat power to defend Devil Gold City at a time like this? Or does Teacher think that it's okay to give Devil Gold City away? "Awanda asked again.
Hiero touched the meatball on his head and said in a low voice, "In fact, Syl was not the only one who was suddenly transferred back today. There are other new models too."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't dare to mean anything. After all, it is unwise to guess Teacher's actions." Hiero said in a low voice, "General, maybe we should not know too much. I just feel that Teacher did not do enough regarding Kana's reincarnation. "
"I heard that Teacher did not ask the Lizard King for such a huge matter. We all know that Teacher has not communicated with the Lizard King for many years. "
Awanda shook his head. "Hiero, we should not make wild guesses. Teacher has led our race through the Desolate Era. He is Kana's designated guide. Teacher's wishes are Kana's wishes. We should just focus on our own work. "
"Yes, then I will go and see how the defensive work on the city walls is progressing. To be honest, even though that old fellow has led the invaders to the Crypt Fiends' territory, I have no confidence at all. But to be honest, I don't have the slightest bit of confidence, especially after seeing what just happened. " Hiero lowered his head and said, "Now, we can only hope that Teacher can complete Kana's reincarnation as soon as possible. We do not know how long Devil Gold City can last."
Awanda nodded heavily with a solemn expression.
In the Forest of Ashes, on the scorched ground. Rachel and the others came down from the tree one after another. Allen also took Lucy and placed her gently on the ground. After looking around, Allen's gaze fell on Abby and said, "Continue leading the way. I believe that after this, they will not disturb us again."
At this moment, the scorched ground began to cave in, and pitch-black ravines appeared. They carefully passed by the ravines, and Abby quickly found the direction. Not long after, they walked out of the scorched ground.
Just as Allen had said, the Crypt Spider Lizards did not appear again for the rest of the journey. The journey was peaceful and boring. When night fell, they had no choice but to stop. They had no choice but to stop. There were no more crags to provide a safe place to camp. Thus, Allen circled the area and left his aura. If the Crypt Spider Lizards appeared, the aura would be enough to scare away the underground creatures.
However, even Allen did not expect that when he left his aura, something deep underground had awakened.
