Could the Earth Elemental King break the seal?
The answer was yes. Even the newly born Elemental King's strength had reached the Demon Overlord level. It was naturally easy to break the Demon Emperor-level seal.
However, would the Earth Elemental King help Chen Rui break the seal?
The answer was impossible.
The Earth Elemental King's body was likely to undergo some strange changes. He regarded all underground creatures as enemies that must be killed. He was currently the most terrifying enemy of the underground.
Chen Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly. He just luckily escaped from the terrifying Demon Emperor-level powerhouse, Midnight Sun. Now he actually had to face a Demon Overlord enemy like the Earth Elemental King. If the Demon Realm had something like a lottery, he would definitely buy a few tickets without hesitation. The chances of winning were probably 100%.
There was no potential power like Christina in this underground world that could reverse the situation. There was only Athena by his side. No matter what, he had to protect her safety. The moment their lips met on the stone beam, Chen Rui had already determined that Athena was his woman, a woman that he must protect for a lifetime.
The only way out at present was to survive in this harsh environment first and then try to find a way out.
Although Queen Medusa was cold and unreasonable, the taurens were forthright and had a good impression of him. However, this Tauren's Lair was not absolutely safe. It could face the attack of the "mutated" earth elementals and demonic flies at any time. Moreover, there was the terrifying king behind the earth elementals.
If the king ended his "meditation" and took action personally, then even if the taurens and medusas joined forces, they would definitely lose.
At present, it was still necessary to gather all the forces that could be united to join forces against the mutated earth elementals and demonic flies. Most of the underground creatures had been killed. Other than the medusas and taurens, there was only one important force left, which was the earth elemental "rebel army" led by Tag.
Chen Rui always felt that the Earth Elemental King's situation was a bit strange. This Tag was once one of the three most trusted elites of the king, so he should know more than Doug. Of course, the premise was that he first needed to convince the Chief Tauren to accept this group of earth elemental "rebel army".
"Doug, let's go meet the leader of the Tauren first and discuss how to help you, okay?"
Doug had always been hated by his mutated brethren and other creatures. Hearing Chen Rui's words, he was pleasantly surprised. "Thank you so much!"
Chen Rui instructed Dodo to guard Athena and not to let her be disturbed. He stood up and walked out of the cave with Doug.
The Chief Tauren was standing in front of the pool in front of the lair. Torre and a few other Taurens were also by the side. They seemed to be discussing something. Chen Rui told Doug to wait here while he walked forward.
[Analytical Eyes] showed that except for Chief Tauren and Torre, the rest of the taurens had Demon King-level strength. It seemed that everyone present was an important figure of this tribe. Although Torre's strength was at the Higher Demon level, he had the double halo power, so his status among the taurens was very high.
When Torre saw Chen Rui, he said happily: "Chen Rui, you came at the right time! We've encountered a very difficult thing. Maybe you have a solution. "
A Tauren next to him looked doubtful. "This guy is the friend who helped the Taurens? His strength is so weak, how can he solve our problem? "
This Tauren had Demon King-level strength, so it was reasonable for him to call Chen Rui "weak", but there was undisguised contempt in his tone.
Taurens were like this. They were straightforward and didn't like to beat around the bush.
"Barry! You're not allowed to despise my friend! "Torre's bull face was flushed as if he had been greatly insulted.
Chen Rui had saved Torre several times in battle, and he had always protected him all the way, buffing the other taurens with the halo power. Without Chen Rui, not to mention Torre, even the other taurens' casualties would increase a lot. Moreover, when this friend returned to the Tauren's Lair, he started to treat the wounded without saying anything. How could such a sincere friend be despised?
"My friend Chen Rui once used his magical power to put a tauren's corpse that was about to become an undead to rest in peace! Many of the taurens present can testify to this! "
As soon as this was said, not only Barry, but even the Chief Tauren was taken aback. When he asked Torre about the situation at that time in detail, Barry came to Chen Rui and beat his chest heavily, "Tauren Barry, please forgive me, friend!"
Chen Rui didn't know that the taurens valued the dead the most. His unintentional action in the previous experiment actually won the greatest favor. He immediately shook his head, "Friend! There's no need to say more! I'm willing to continue to help the taurens! "
All the taurens present showed friendliness to him. The Chief Tauren glanced at the earth elemental, Doug, who was standing still in the distance. Thinking of this friend's magical power, his eyes showed hope, "Chen Rui, we are indeed facing a big problem now. I hope you can help us."
Chen Rui originally wanted to talk about the earth elementals, but now it was inappropriate to speak first. It was better to see what the taurens' problem was first, so he nodded without hesitation.
The Chief Tauren pointed to the pool in front and said, "This is the fountain of life, the taurens' most important source of life. The taurens' food is mainly grains and wheat plants. In the environment of the underground world, they need to rely on the fountain of life to plant and mature quickly. More importantly, the tauren's children must be baptized by the fountain of life when they are born in order to gain strong or even mutated power. However, now the fountain of life is slowly drying up. Once it is completely dried up, even if the demonic flies and earth elementals don't attack, we can only face destruction. "
The fountain of life! Chen Rui was taken aback. Isn't there a fountain of life in the Medusa's Lair? The fountain of life in the Medusa's Lair can allow the medusas to directly give birth to the next generation. Are the two fountains of life of the same attribute?
When he raised this question, he received a positive answer from the Chief Tauren. There were a total of four fountains of life in the underground world, which had very magical effects. They were distributed near the nests of the earth elementals, taurens, medusas, and troglodytes.
Now that the troglodytes had been eliminated, the fountain of life had also dried up. Now, only the taurens and medusas' fountain of life were left.
This was a very important clue. Chen Rui quickly thought: Is the purpose of the earth elementals and the demonic flies to eliminate the taurens and medusas? Or occupy the fountain of life? Or a combination of both? What was the use of the fountain of life for the earth elementals and the demonic flies?
Even if it was useful, it must be related to the Earth Elemental King's "mutation". Otherwise, they wouldn't have waited for hundreds of years to occupy the fountain of life.
"Dear king, please forgive me for being presumptuous. Although the taurens are brave and good at fighting, the situation is not good for us. There are too many demonic flies and earth elementals. According to the information I got from the earth elementals, the opponent actually has the existence of the Elemental King. In order to avoid more casualties among the taurens, I have a suggestion. That is to leave this underground and find a new place to settle above ground. As far as I know, many taurens seem to live somewhere deep in the mountains, so they don't need the fountain of life. Moreover, the taurens' construction, smelting, and forging techniques are the best in the Demon Realm. In this underground world, you can't truly unleash your excellent talents. "
Chen Rui's idea sounded good, but in fact, 99% of it was for himself. At least he could let the Chief Tauren try to break the seal. If it succeeded, then he could leave this dangerous place with the taurens.
The Chief Tauren shook his head, "Friend, your analysis is very reasonable. We also yearn for life above ground, but you don't understand that we are different from other tauren tribes. We can't go above ground. Many, many years ago, we don't know how our ancestors came to this underground. From the bloodline inheritance of our ancestors, we received a huge amount of knowledge and power, but we also inherited a special curse power. Unless we can find the only treasure to lift the curse, we will all die if we go above ground directly. "
Curse? It was the first time Chen Rui heard such a secret. He asked, "If you find this treasure, you can go above ground?"
"Yes, as long as the curse can be lifted, we can truly regain our freedom to go above ground. As for the function of the fountain of life … planting is secondary. The infant baptism can be replaced by building a tauren temple. The prerequisite is that there needs to be a tauren priest. " As the Chief Tauren said, his eyes fell on Torre, "We already have a priest. Of course, his power still needs to be further strengthened."
"What kind of treasure is this? I have a certain power above ground. I hope I can help you, my friend. "
"Thank you for your kindness, friend." The Chief Tauren replied, "This treasure is called the Eye of Sauron. It was once the secret treasure of the tauren tribe, but even in the ancestral memory inheritance, it has been lost for a long time."
Chen Rui was taken aback: The Eye of Sauron! This name is too familiar! One of the two treasures that Paglio asked him to go to the Silent Night Wetland to find was the Eye of Sauron. This treasure turned out to be the secret treasure of the tauren tribe. Not only could it unlock the < Lock of Light and Dark > on the poison dragon, but it could also lift the curse of the taurens under Mountain Xilang!
The Chief Tauren saw something wrong with Chen Rui's expression and said in surprise, "Do you have news about the Eye of Sauron? My friend, if you can help us lift the curse, then you will become the benefactor of this tauren tribe. We are willing to become your vassal tribe. We will serve you with our strength and skills and never betray you. "
Chen Rui's eyes lit up: The taurens are powerful, and they are proficient in construction and forging. If I can get their help, it will definitely be like adding wings to a tiger. As long as I can retrieve the Eye of Sauron from the Silent Night Wetland, I can kill two birds with one stone. I just don't know if there is a conflict between the lifting of < Lock of Light and Dark > and the lifting of the curse seal. The most important thing is that I can't get out of this underground at all.
"I do have news about the Eye of Sauron. It should be a fist-sized red crystal. Its appearance is somewhat similar to an eye, right?"
The Chief Tauren looked surprised, and the doubts in his heart were gone, "Yes! It's this treasure! "
Chen Rui learned about the appearance characteristics of the Eye of Sauron from Paglio. He was sure that it was the same treasure. He thought, "As far as I know, this treasure is in a secret treasure of the Shadow Empire. It is quite far away from here, and it is extremely dangerous. For my friends, I'm willing to look for it, but before that, please do me a favor first. "
The Chief Tauren quickly asked, "What is it?"
"Break the seal leading to the ground!"
