Overnight, the [Omphalos], where the Elder Council was located, was flooded with blood. Surrounded by the Elf Iron Guard, no ordinary elf residents were allowed to approach.
For a moment, everyone in the Thousand Leaves Forest was in a state of panic.
A ranger who lived nearby claimed that he saw a Hell Hound leaving at dawn along with many demons!
None of the members of the Elder Council survived.
Prince Ibu quickly held a memorial service. After it was over, all the voices of resistance to him also disappeared.
The wood elves were united against a common enemy, and the threat of foreign invasions made them unite.
However, most of them still felt strange.
The [Omphalos], where the Elder Council was located, was the hinterland of the Thousand Leaves Forest, and it was guarded by the Elf Iron Guard.
Last night, the nearby Elf Iron Guard went to the east to search for the so-called demons, but they were lured away by the demon army, and they were wiped out in the [Omphalos] …
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was wrong.
However, even though many wood elves were aware of it, those who supported Ibu didn't say anything, and those who opposed Ibu also remained silent.
The reason was simple. If it wasn't Ibu's doing, then it proved that there was indeed a large number of devils operating around the Thousand Leaf Forest, and they needed Ibu's protection. On the other hand, if it was Ibu's doing … then the prince, who was usually kind and gentle, was ruthless enough to intimidate most people.
All in all, after the pain, all the wood elves under Ibu's command followed his orders.
As a reward, Ibu had to have dinner with the Sea Elf Queen.
…
Ma Wen left the Thousand Leaves Forest before dawn.
When he left the Thousand Leaves Forest, he walked side by side with the Hell Hound. When they reached the area where the Chaotic Magic Energy gathered, the Hell Hound obviously became excited and irritable.
Sensing from the contract, Ma Wen could feel its excitement and high spirits.
The Hell Hound was like a fish in water in this land. It rarely encountered natural enemies, and its method of devouring souls to increase its strength was also very terrifying.
The reason why the Hell Dog had yet to advance to the Legend rank was because he lacked a legacy.
This was Fernand, not hell. If it wanted to surpass its current realm, it had to return to the territory of the Nine Hells where the hellhounds gathered and go through a series of rituals.
Ma Wen read its thoughts from the contract.
In the end, he hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to cancel the contract.
Strictly speaking, this Cerberus had helped him a lot. He was just using it to deal with the power of the Shadow Shrine.
As for Ma Wen saving it in passing, it was only because of a moment of compassion.
There was very little communication between the two of them. It was completely unlike the intimacy between a ranger and his companion.
He could sense the Hellhound's loyalty.
Although the Purgatory Creatures were evil, they still abided by the rules.
As long as the contract existed, it would not leave Ma Wen.
Even so, Ma Wen could still occasionally sense the Hell Dog's true will through the pet contract.
It longed for freedom.
At the end of the day, it was an unruly Hellhound. It was somewhat unwilling to be taken in as a pet by a human Ranger.
Hell was its home.
A long time ago, Ma Wen had thought about how to deal with the Hell Dog.
It was incompatible with the White River Valley and had been wandering outside the sanctuary, silently slaughtering monsters. This way, the threat of the White River Valley was greatly reduced. However, Ma Wen felt that restricting its freedom was somewhat like kidnapping.
Ma Wen was never the kind of person who liked to restrict others, especially those who had a close relationship with him.
For example, Daniela.
Or the current Hell Dog.
So, on the eve of dawn, at the edge of the Forest of Thousand Leaves, he took the initiative to cancel the pet contract and let the Hell Dog leave.
The latter looked very shocked, and its three huge heads were still extremely ferocious.
However, at this time, although the two of them were not bound by the pet contract, it still seemed to understand what Ma Wen meant.
It lowered its head and used its three heads to take turns rubbing against Ma Wen's chest. Then, it ran into the wilderness without looking back!
The huge figure gradually disappeared into the wilderness. Ma Wen vaguely saw an open door in the wilderness.
The Hell Dog ran in headfirst.
After the collapse of the Universe Magic Pool, the plane barrier was reduced a lot. It was still somewhat difficult to go up from the bottom to the top — that is, from the Abyss, Evil Spirit, Hell, and other places to the main material world; but from the top to the bottom, it became much easier.
With its own ability, the Hell Dog opened a door to return to Hell.
Ma Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe they would meet again in the future if fate allowed it.
At that time, the little fellow who had struggled in the ruins of the Shadow Temple would probably have become an overlord in Hell.
…
Ma Wen stood on the hill and waited.
It was not until the sun rose that the Golden-feathered Griffin finally arrived.
Die.
The Wood Elf girl frowned. "The smell of blood on you is very strong."
Ma Wen also frowned. "Why is it you again?"
He asked Ibu to think of a way to send him to the Supreme Forest, but not through the teleportation formation. He did not want to openly enter the Migratory Bird Council's sight, so he wanted to sneak in.
This way, it would not be good to use the teleportation formation to the Supreme Forest.
The best way was still to fly there.
Now that the Cataclysm had just passed, the air was still safe. The Supreme Forest was very vast. It was located in the far north of the Thousand Year Mountain Range, even further than the Lavis Duchy.
Ordinary flying objects would probably need to fly for ten days to half a month.
However, Marvin remembered that there were still many rare exotic beasts in the Thousand Leaf Forest. He just had to borrow one from them.
He did not expect that this time, Ibu would send Die and the Golden-feathered Griffin.
Although Ma Wen had to admit that the Golden-feathered Griffin flew very fast, almost as fast as a dragon, this girl called Die always gave him a strange feeling.
In terms of combat, she was definitely a burden. He did not know how she got the Golden-feathered Griffin's approval.
"Of course it's me."
"I'm one of the most trusted people of His Highness the Prince."
Die said proudly, "Come on up."
"I heard that we have to travel very far this time? Let's hurry. "
Ma Wen rolled his eyes. "Didn't you say last time that your Little Black couldn't carry the weight of two people?"
Die giggled. "You must have remembered wrongly."
"If Lord Ma Wen is not willing, I can go back and report to His Highness Ibu and ask him to send someone else."
Ma Wen thought about it and finally gave up.
There was not much time left, so he would not argue with Die.
He got on the Golden-feathered Griffin. The back of a large flying object like this was very spacious. Not to mention two people, even three to five people could sit on it. So even if it was a man and a woman, it would not be too awkward.
"Let's go. Let's go to the City of Steel first. "
Ma Wen said.
