When Raven rushed out of the tent and returned to the main camp, he found that the place was decorated with lanterns and streamers and livestock were being slaughtered in celebration.
Even the know-it-all Spotted Duck had no idea what was going on.
He had to find someone to ask.
Only then did he find out that the first batch of lucky fellows who had obtained the ancient divine power, led by a Prophet called Forget-Not, had ambushed a temporary scouting outpost of the Western Camp in the morning. They had killed six elite scouts of the Western Camp on the spot and captured four. Now that they had returned to the main camp with the captives, everyone was celebrating them and showing off their victory in the first battle!
Fort The Storm was currently in a defensive state. Everyone was holed up inside the fort.
Even the regular army, including the Eastern God Lord Deicide's most powerful Blood Legion and the Southern God Lord Tenchou's Mad Demon Slaughterer Legion, had not achieved even the slightest bit of victory during the confrontation between the two armies.
Yet, it was the volunteer army and mercenaries that everyone looked down on and were most wary of that had made a good start and gained the first drop of blood …
How could this not make everyone go wild with joy?
As soon as the first batch of lucky fellows returned, they were immediately welcomed by the entire volunteer army.
Whether it was the volunteer mercenaries from the Divine Nation of the Northeast, the bandits and thieves from all over, or the galactic pirates who had just become friends, all of them rejoiced and their morale was greatly boosted.
As for the previously low-key Prophet, they worshipped him even more. Everyone felt that this State Preceptor was second only to the Eastern God Master, the Godslayer. If he hadn't used his primordial divine power to enhance the strength of the rebel army, even if the rebel army were a hundred times stronger, they still wouldn't have been able to kill the elite scouts of the western camp, much less capture four of them!
"My Lord, did you hear that? Those whose original attributes were not suitable or their potential were not enough can still participate in the second round of selection! The Prophet has decided to personally dig out everyone's potential and hidden attributes. He is determined not to leave anyone out! Haha, I still have a chance. I knew that the depression would soon pass and the future success will belong to me! Once I'm chosen, that brat Grasshopper won't be able to make fun of me anymore. Who knows, my hidden potential might be even higher than his … "Spotted Duck was so excited when he got back from the news that he was dancing with joy.
"Our people also have to participate in the test?" Raven's face turned green, and he broke out in cold sweat.
"That's not good enough! My Lord, it's not just our men, it's not just our brothers, it's the entire camp, everyone! Everyone has decided to participate in Lord Prophet's test! "Spotted Duck laughed and shook his head.
"Where's Pelican?" Raven noticed that the drunkard wasn't by his side.
"Sir Santon has already participated in the test! My Lord, you might not know this. Once the ancient divine power is upgraded, the weakest one will become a God's Envoy. Those with better potential can even become a God's General. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! Unless you're a fool, otherwise, no one will miss it … Lord Blackleaf, let's go. I can't wait to become a God's General. Even if I can't become one, becoming a God's Envoy would be good too … Grasshopper is said to have the potential to become a God's Envoy. His nose is almost in the sky. I can't lose to him! "Spotted Duck was getting more and more excited as he spoke. He pulled Raven forward.
"Spotted Duck, help me back to the tent to rest first …" Raven wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and gritted his teeth. He seemed to have made an important decision in his heart.
"This, alright!"
Spotted Duck's heart had already flown to the Prophet's testing hall.
However, he noticed that Lord Raven seemed to be unwell. Naturally, he did not dare to delay and hurriedly helped him back.
Usually, Raven would become extremely weak and painful for a period of time every three to four months. Especially when the battle was more intense and his body was more exhausted, the interval between the attacks would be shorter.
This was the backlash of his body enduring the Forbidden Power. There was no cure for it in the Mountain Beyond Mountain.
If it wasn't for the Ancient Broken Crystal necklace on his body that could use the Godly Power contained in it to suppress it, the backlash of the Forbidden Power would definitely cause his body to explode.
Spotted Duck saw that Raven's body was suffering from the Forbidden Power's backlash more than once or twice. He thought that Raven's body was covered in sweat and his face was pale because of the attack. He even sighed in his heart that it was really not the right time to attack … Before Spotted Duck left, Raven suddenly reminded him, "Spotted Duck, if you have time, remember to come back here and call me after the test. I'm afraid I'll never wake up!"
Towards this insignificant request, Spotted Duck naturally agreed. "Don't worry, Lord Blackleaf. I'll definitely come back. I promised Lord Titan that I'll do the logistics work well. I'll be back soon."
"It's good that you remember." Raven waved his hand weakly, gesturing for Spotted Duck to go out.
After an unknown period of time.
Raven, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, there was no longer a trace of weakness or pain. Instead, a bright light shot out like a burning flame.
He was as agile as a civet and as light as a flying bird.
Raven turned over and got off the bed.
He hesitated slightly.
He took out a fragmented and small fragment of an ancient relic from his bosom. After reaching out a few times, he retracted it. In the end, he let out a long sigh and placed the faintly glowing fragment of an ancient relic on the table.
He then changed into a set of black clothes and dressed as a thief. He covered his face with a headscarf and inserted two daggers.
Faster than lightning, he flew out. After a few leaps, he was already far away from the valley.
Raven gradually left the cheering and noisy camp behind him. However, he did not dare to let down his guard. He looked behind him nervously, like a defeated general who kept looking back to see if there were any pursuers … After leaving the valley, Raven finally dared to take a few breaths. Just when he thought that he had escaped from the tiger's den and was preparing to sneak back to The Storm Fortress to discuss countermeasures with Winged Tiger and Wind Eagle, a pair of legs suddenly appeared in front of him.
His vision blurred.
Boom!
Raven felt pain in his face. The next thing he knew, was that his entire body was smashed into the rocks of the hill.
"What a cunning little worm. If it wasn't for master's cautiousness, I would have been fooled by you." The pair of legs appeared in front of Raven again. Before Raven could open his mouth, the legs stepped on him again.
"So fast!" Raven could not even react in time, let alone his body. Although he tried his best to roll and dodge, it was completely useless.
The leg did not step on Raven's head.
But it was enough to stomp the lower half of Raven's fleeing body into the mud and stones.
Raven endured the pain and looked up.
He discovered that the owner of those feet was a man dressed like a nobleman. He was handsome and had the bearing of a noble. His expression was incomparably arrogant, and he looked down at him with a condescending gaze. It was as if he was looking at an ant. "Little worm, if you tell me the flaw you've discovered, then I might consider whether I should be merciful enough to grant you a quick death!"
Jiao Luo Waterfall, five hundred kilometers away from The Storm Fortress.
The garrison of the Western camp.
Just dozens of kilometers away from the waterfall.
Of course, the water city of Jiao Luo Waterfall and the Eastern God Lord's palace next to it had been designated as the resting place of the gods. It was an absolute forbidden area for ordinary soldiers.
In the sky, a strange flame suddenly streaked across. When the soldiers of the Southwest God Kingdom saw it, they all cheered and prostrated themselves on the ground. Because they knew that the God they believed in and followed, Sha Feng, had finally arrived!
The Southwest God Lord Sha Feng's lateness had caused the soldiers of the Southwest God Kingdom to suffer a lot of complaints from their allies.
In particular, there was an inexplicable rumor that the Southwest God Lord Sha Feng had besieged the Southeast God Lord Akagi but failed. Instead, he was seriously injured, which made the soldiers of the Southwest God Lord lose face. Similarly, the Northwest God Lord Frost Cold and the North God Lord Zhao Xi had already arrived at Jiao Luo Waterfall. Moreover, their bodies and divine powers were not damaged at all. They were solemnly welcomed by the West God Lord Black Day. In contrast, the Southwest God Lord Sha Feng had not arrived even after so long. It was really hard to believe … Could it be that the God they believed in and followed had really been seriously injured by Akagi?
The soldiers of the entire Southwest God Kingdom were waiting anxiously.
Until this moment.
When they saw their God Lord stepping on the flame divine light and riding the wind to Jiao Luo Waterfall, they finally felt relieved. It turned out that the previous rumor was not true. The God Lord Sha Feng they believed in and followed was not seriously injured. Instead, he was as heroic and full of divine power as before!
"Welcome, welcome! Brother Sha Feng really scared me. They all said that you wouldn't come, but I believe that Brother Sha Feng is not the kind of person who goes back on his word. Haha, Brother Sha Feng, you really made us wait for a long time! "A ray of black divine light soared into the sky. The whole sky, even if it was a bright day, became dark. A God Level Ranker whose face could not be seen clearly and whose true strength could not be seen, rode on the gray fog and black divine light. He was the first to welcome the flame divine light that was shooting towards him.
"He has come, but I don't know if he is really our ally, God Lord Sha Feng!" Another wave of cold air soared and instantly froze the Jiao Luo Waterfall. The owner of the cold air coldly questioned the Southwest God Lord Sha Feng who had rushed over, suspecting that he was a fake.
"If I was a fake Deicide, I would kill you first!" As a fake, Yue Yang did not feel guilty at all and immediately retorted.
"Deicide is impossible, because he is not good at disguising. If Deicide is really a fake, even a blind person would be able to tell that he is a fake. Moreover, that guy is a stubborn person, he would not use any tricks. " The North God Lord Zhao Xi appeared. He looked at Yue Yang from head to toe, causing the fake Yue Yang to feel a little apprehensive. In the end, he shook his head and denied it.
"Hmph, of course it is impossible for Deicide, but don't forget, there is still the Northeast God Lord Qing Yun!" The Northwest God Frost Cold thought that Yue Yang, this Sha Feng, was a fake Qing Yun.
"Brother Sha Feng is definitely not Qing Yun!" The West God Black Day, whose face could not be seen in the black light, echoed Yue Yang's words and pretended to be a good person.
"…" The North God Lord Zhao Xi did not say anything and watched quietly from the side.
"How can you prove that you are not Qing Yun?" The Northwest God Frost Cold gave Yue Yang a difficult problem. This question stumped Yue Yang. It was easy to prove that he was Sha Feng because he had Sha Feng's remnant divine power and knowledge. It was not difficult to disguise himself, but how could he prove that he was not Qing Yun? This was really a pain in the ass. Yue Yang did not know anything about Qing Yun, not even a single thing!
