The flames were spreading in the forest, and her people were about to be massacred. Another destructive dream beast was coming … Doris was alone and helpless, surrounded by enemies.
She gritted her teeth and flashed in the direction of her clansmen.
Protect her people first!
The fire raged in the forest, and the lava from the underground seemed to have a destructive power that engulfed everything.
"High Priestess!"
A female elf saw her and called out to her.
Her expression was panicked, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes. However, when she saw her, her eyes were filled with hope and support.
"Mother!"
This female elf had her child by her side. This child was already 15 years old, but according to the elf's growth cycle, he was only a child of six or seven years old. His appearance was also very young.
Of course, even by human standards, he was still a child.
At this moment, he was hugging his mother and bawling. Tears kept falling, and there was a scratch on his leg. He must have fallen in a panic. Remember the website: m.9biquge.com.
The female elf hurriedly squeezed out a gentle smile and comforted her child.
"The High Priestess is here!"
"High Priestess, what should we do now?"
"Ah! That dream beast is coming! "
"Run!"
More and more people noticed her and cast hopeful gazes at her. Cries for help were still ringing in her ears.
Some of the male elves who stayed behind spontaneously organized themselves to maintain order, using basic spells to extinguish the fire. However, the flames were getting bigger and bigger, and they were forced to retreat.
The mages, warriors, and archers of the clan were brought to the other side of the array to ambush. Only the ordinary elves were taking refuge here.
Although there were defensive arrays around, they could only withstand a few destructive attacks. If it was just one Subterranean Walker, it would be no problem at all. It would be enough to defend for a while.
"Calm down! Don't panic! "
Doris tapped the ground with her scepter and let the sound reach the ears of every clansman. She then used a spell to calm their minds and said in a deep voice, "With the formation, these insects will be temporarily blocked. Go to the altar, the elders will make arrangements."
There was a teleportation array at the altar that could directly send people to Nuo Jin.
At the same time, it was equivalent to giving up on this forest.
This was already the last resort, but the teleportation array was only enough to send away less than 30% of the people.
Doris called the people who were lying in ambush on the other side. Since the Subterranean Wanderer had already noticed them, the trap was meaningless.
If he had someone in the family who could fight stay behind, they should be able to quickly finish off one of them.
The problem was that there was still one more …
Doris even had a premonition that there were more than just these two. There might be more … This was no longer a destructive dream invasion.
How different could a group of annihilation class dream beasts be from a god class?
If this continued, the situation would only get worse and worse …
"This is something that has never happened before. The crack in the dream world is still expanding. The power that has been suppressing the invasion of the dream world seems to have weakened a lot."
"Something incredible must have happened in a place that I didn't foresee …"
Doris was secretly shocked.
She had lived for more than a thousand years. Even as a long-lived species, she was considered an elder.
For more than a thousand years, she had been the high priestess of the family since she came of age, protecting the family and their territory, which was this forest.
In a place far away from the man-made giant city of Nuo Jin, various supernatural races that had survived from ancient times had hidden in their own settlements and were gradually declining. Only merchants and desperate criminals would enter Nuo Jin to make contact with humans.
Just resisting the invasion of the dream beasts in the crack in the dream world was enough to tire them out.
It was the same for the Iris family that Doris belonged to.
The elves were no longer the brave warriors of the ancient kingdoms. In these long years, they had been content to stay in a corner. Other than the dream beasts, there were basically no other threats.
Those who had survived that disaster were not the descendants of powerful individuals. Therefore, the average individual was basically powerless.
This was also the reason why Doris had sought the help of the Silver Lady who had protected them in the legends.
"Wait … Silver Lady!"
Doris suddenly came to a realization. She had asked for help!
In the bookstore in Nuo Jin, where the Silver Dreamscape's aura had descended, she had met the Silver Lady's kin, the bookstore owner who looked very kind.
When she had asked the bookstore owner to help the Iris family regain their glory and obtain the Silver Lady's favor.
The bookstore owner had sold her thirty books called "The Ancient Seal".
He had also said that it was to make it easier for him to prepare for his future work. He hoped that her people could take a look at it first.
Doris had once sensed information such as "resistance" and "dreamscape" in the book. After careful study, she had confirmed that it was related to rune drawing.
She knew that the rune had powerful magic, but at the same time, it had a certain learning threshold.
In the past few months, only a portion of her people who had the talent to resonate with the aether could read it. The number of people who had learned how to draw the rune was less than a hundred.
But the current situation … gave Doris a new idea.
Had she been walking on the wrong path all this time?
The rune was not something that everyone needed to learn before the Silver Lady's kin could help them. Was it something that the Silver Lady had given them to deal with this crisis?!
He … had predicted this from the start!
Doris was reminded of the mysterious smile on the bookstore owner's face and a great sense of security rose in her heart.
"Wait!"
Doris called out to her panicking people. The people trusted the high priestess so they stopped and turned to look at her.
She looked around and said, "I've brought you a gift from the Silver Lady's kin! That is the will of the Silver Lady, the key to us facing this crisis! Those of you who have learned the rune named 'Ancient Seal' from the book, draw it on yourselves and the others immediately! "
Rumble …
The defensive barrier was shaking and the ground was shaking.
Despite their fear, the elves obeyed Doris' order. After drawing the 'Ancient Seal' on more than half of the elves, under everyone's despairing gaze, the barrier collapsed and two Subterranean Walkers charged in with their mouths wide open.
One of them was stopped by Doris and the warriors but the other took the opportunity to burrow into the ground.
The elves squeezed together. Amidst the jostling, the female elf from before fell to the ground with her child. The child started to wail.
Rumble … Roar —
The female elf raised her head dumbly. She saw the giant worm bursting out from the ground not far away. It opened its mouthpart filled with sharp teeth at the child.
"No!!!"
The female elf rushed forward to hug the child. She closed her eyes and prepared for death.
But after a long time, when she regained her consciousness, she did not feel the pain that she had imagined.
The female elf opened her eyes in a daze, only to see that the worm had stopped not far above her. Its mouth was squirming, and she could almost feel the warm and fishy wind blowing against her face. However, it did not take another step forward, and even retreated as if it was afraid.
