Chapter 429 The sudden change of the silver spear

Under the night sky.

The crescent moon was covered by thin clouds, and the thin moonlight made the night before dawn even darker.

The group of the [Black Scripture] moved like ghosts in the darkness, silently leaving the range of "E-Rantel".

The whole process.

The soldiers stationed at the city gate were unaware of anything. They just felt a little sleepy and yawned.

After completely leaving the border city of the kingdom, the group led by Captain Shenren suddenly changed their aura.

"Speed up the action!" Captain Shenren's deep red pupils narrowed slightly, and he spoke softly without turning his head.

The [Black Scripture] is the secret force of the Theocracy. If it weren't for the revival of the Demonic Tree this time, it would have attracted the attention of the Adventurer's Guild in advance.

They will not appear in the kingdom of E-Rantel, but will go directly to their destination in the Great Tob Forest.

"Hurry!" The gloomy face of the middle-aged man of the Four Elements emerged from under his black hood. He began to chant first. A faint blue light appeared under everyone's feet, and then he chanted again:

"Liu Feng!"

Invisible air currents were drawn in, forming a flowing whirlwind that gently supported everyone's bodies and reduced their weight.

"Ha~, speed up!"

"Infinite Magic Power" looked like he hadn't woken up yet, sloppily lifting his wrinkled sleeves. He groggily chanted continuously in a low voice, his movements not slowing down at all:

"Advanced agility increased!"

Layers of magical light once again appeared on the bodies of everyone present.

The next moment.

——whoosh!

As everyone moved their feet, a cyclone arose from the ground out of thin air. They instantly disappeared from their original positions and turned into black arrows, moving rapidly towards the Tob Forest.

In the [Black Scripture], there are two magic casters who have entered the "heroic realm" and have also mastered the magical means of "teleportation".

Using teleportation magic seems much more convenient!

However.

Teleportation methods require that the caster has been to the destination before in order to be able to teleport directly there. If there is no exact location, they can only move in the general direction.

There were a large number of people present, and even if two people mastered teleportation magic and could teleport everyone to their destination at once, it would still consume a considerable amount of magic power.

Even by carriage, it would take more than half a day to get from E-Rantel to the Great Tob Forest!

With the help of magic, Captain Shenren and his group arrived at the border of the forest in less than 20 minutes!

"Lord Kerry."

Captain Shenren stepped on the rotten leaves with his feet, and cast a sharp glance at the dark forest ahead. He turned his head and asked inquiringly, "Do you need a short rest?"

"Wow." Old man Kerry forced a smile on his wrinkled face, a trace of sweat appeared in the cracks of his forehead, and he shook his head slightly:

"The old woman is old, but she's not to the point where she needs to rest after walking such a short distance."

"The Dragon King of Destruction has just revived. To prevent further unrest and unnecessary impact, the sooner this is resolved, the better."

She once entered the "hero realm", but as she grew older and her physical strength declined, her strength was no longer what it used to be.

I am indeed a little tired.

The impact is not significant, and there is no need for an old woman like her to fight.

Old man Kerry's old and rough palm gently stroked the real artifact in the style of a cheongsam with mysterious golden stripes, and a trace of deep worry flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"The existence of gods" is the ultimate power of the Church to protect mankind. The gods who inherited the bloodline of the six gods and returned to their ancestors have surpassed the realm of "strength".

so!

The Church has blocked all information about the gods, because if it were to leak, it would likely lead to disaster and a battle with the remaining True Dragon Kings.

Furthermore, even the Church will be affected and destroyed, and humanity will suffer a devastating disaster!

"The Destruction Dragon King's premature revival has already caused an impact. It would be fine if it only spread within the kingdom, but what if it was noticed by the Council Nation?"

Elder Kerry's heart tightened as he silently pondered, "This mission of carrying a true artifact to capture the Dragon King of Destruction... I hope I'm just overthinking it."

In short!

The sooner you deal with the Dragon King of Destruction, the lower the risk.

Seeing that Lord Kerry was fine, Captain Shenren chuckled, nodded, and waved his arms, ready to set off again.

"Captain." The "Four Elements" hesitated briefly and suddenly spoke nervously.

"kindness?"

Captain Shenren was obviously surprised, his red pupils moving in the dark night as he looked at the "Four Elements". He did not ask any questions, but just stared at them in silence.

The rest of the people had more or less surprised expressions on their faces, and most of them were puzzled, wondering why the "Four Elements", their usually taciturn companion, would speak at this time?

"Oh my~" Clementine reached out her hand from her robe, gently fiddling with a button with one finger, staring at the "Four Elements" with curious eyes.

"Is there any action from the adults? Why don't I know about it?"

Facing the gazes of many eyes.

The Four Elements' foreheads were covered in sweat, and the look from Captain Shenren, in particular, made him feel somewhat frightened.

but.

When I thought that even Lord Juesi Jueming was defeated by that man, the pressure in my heart was instantly reduced.

"That's right, Captain."

The Four Elements bowed respectfully, lowering their heads slightly to hide the panic in their eyes.

"The information provided by Astrology Thousand Miles and the Kingdom's expeditionary forces indicates that the Destruction Dragon King has not fully recovered."

"The true combat power and capabilities of the Destruction Dragon King are even more unknown. I personally think that we should leave a member on the periphery as a backup or as a precaution against special circumstances."

As soon as these words were spoken.

"Astrology Thousand Miles" raised her fingers and pressed her eye sockets. She thought this was a good idea and glanced at the captain's position out of the corner of her eye.

However, the captain has the final say on this matter!

"Go according to the original plan..."

Captain Shenren spoke coldly, a hint of disdain flashing across his face. He had no interest in making any boring arrangements.

The Dragon King of Destruction is a good opponent and worth challenging. In addition, with the existence of a true divine weapon, there is no possibility of failure.

"Additional arrangements..."

An old and gentle voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Captain Shenren's words: "A cautious thought."

"Lord Kerry?" Captain Shenren.

"What do you think of the Dark Scripture?" Elder Kerry asked softly with a smile.

"In that case, we'll leave one member behind on the periphery." Captain Shenren frowned, slightly unhappy, and said, "The Four Elements."

Even if you think it doesn't matter!

Captain Shenren still made the most reasonable arrangement. There are only three people with the highest mobility in the entire [Black Scripture].

"Four Elements", "Infinite Magic Power", "Heaven and Earth".

The first two master teleportation magic, and the latter is a pure assassin-type strongman. However, if an unexpected situation really occurs, the two who master teleportation magic will have more ways to deal with it!

"Infinite magic"?

Given the character of this lazy companion, if there were no outsiders around, he would definitely choose to be lazy.

Among the three, only the "Four Elements" are the most suitable.

whoosh!

whoosh!

Captain Shenren and his group entered the forest and disappeared. Only the "Four Elements" were left, guarding the outskirts of the Tob Forest.

Until everyone's figures completely disappeared from perception.

"Huh, luckily nothing went wrong." The tense nerves of the "Four Elements" relaxed, a wry smile appeared on the gloomy face of the middle-aged man, and he exhaled deeply.

"Why did you make this arrangement, my Lord?"

The "Four Elements" muttered to themselves in silence, feeling somewhat confused.

Within the forest.

The crisp sound of dead branches rubbing against leaves was drowned out by the occasional chirping of insects and roaring of wild beasts.

Flutter~

A sparrow-sized bird, completely blending into the night, glided between the trees, stopping on its own every time it flew a certain distance.

"The herald bird"!

A monster summoned by a 2nd tier monster.

It has no demonic aura and is just like an ordinary bird, very fragile, but it can synchronize its vision with the caster.

Apollon Hills.

Deep down, the stars twinkle.

Tang Zheng felt the cool breeze in the valley, slightly closed his eyes, leaned lightly on a makeshift wooden chair, and observed quietly.

The "Mourning Bird" was not summoned by him, but was summoned by his shadow clone, and even the shadow clone was not with him.

Instead, it was deliberately teleported to the human border.

The mourning bird first transmits the image it sees to the shadow clone, and the shadow clone then transmits the image to Tang Zheng, forming a completely independent single-line connection!

Although long-range detection magic like "Clairvoyance" is useful, it is easily affected by anti-detection magic and even detected.

This method is safer!

What Tang Zheng was wary of was not the Church.

The [Dark Scripture] alone did not pose any threat to him. As long as he wanted, he could defeat this top secret force by himself at any time.

What Tang Zheng was concerned about was whether the early revival of the magic tree had attracted the attention of the Platinum Dragon King from the Review Country.

With the character of the Platinum Dragon King.

There is a high probability that after noticing that the Theocracy has deployed the [Black Scripture], they will observe it from a hidden place, just like in the original work.

The Platinum Dragon King probably doesn't know much about the information about the gods.

With the help of the revival of the magic tree.

It is obviously a good opportunity to observe a series of information such as the "God-man".

Tang Zheng didn't believe that the Platinum Dragon King didn't want to get the six divine legacies, the world-class props, and so on.

only.

This may be because of some kind of agreement reached with the Theocracy and the "Dark God" Sirshana, or because of limited intelligence, which prevented the Platinum Dragon King from acting rashly.

"I hope my luck isn't too bad." Tang Zheng muttered to himself while observing.

——Early morning.

5:21.

A hint of white appeared on the eastern horizon.

Captain Shenren and others have arrived at the "Forest Crack" area, which has turned into a wasteland deep in the north of the Tob Forest.

On this ground filled with the ruins of dead trees, there are densely packed huge deep pits. These are the traces of the battle left behind by Enri and others when they resisted the attack of the magic tree.

"Each of these traces is at least a hundred meters long."

A burly man covered in white hair, codenamed "Humanity's Strongest," wielded a massive black axe taller than himself, and gazed intensely at the traces of battle.

"Being able to withstand such a force is truly remarkable... This is probably beyond the realm of 'remarkable'."

This compliment was clearly meant for Enri. Astrology Thousand Miles had already informed everyone present of everything that had happened here.

The rest of the members, looking at the remaining traces of battle, fell into silence or thought, obviously bringing themselves into the battle and making deductions.

"The kingdom is so corrupt, yet it has encountered changes one after another." Old man Kerry sighed with his hands behind his back and his upper body hunched.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

The rise of the Baharus Empire was inevitable, but the kingdom now had three teams of adamantite-level adventurers, who had achieved a resounding victory in this engagement.

This result.

This is not what the Theocracy wants to see!

Old man Kerry shook his head. This kind of troublesome matter should be a headache for those priests and elders. What is important now is the matter at hand.

"'Astrology from a thousand miles away'!" said the old man Kerry.

"Yes, Master Kerry—"Life Detection·High Intensity"!"

The half-framed glasses on Astrology Thousand Miles' nose emitted a light pink sheen, and he quickly locked onto a location in front of him:

"The Destruction Dragon King hasn't fully revived there, so he wasn't active for long. There are signs of life there."

Swish! Swish!

Everyone present quickly dispersed and surrounded old man Kerry, protecting him in the final center, their eyes fixed on the front.

"Destroy the Dragon King?... Then let me see how strong you are."

Captain Shenren twisted his neck and raised the worn-out spear in his hand, his red eyes flashing with passion and excitement.

"Just attack that location, right?"

"Yes, Captain." Zhan Xing Qianli responded respectfully, holding the pink handbag magic prop tightly in his right hand, and spoke cautiously:

"The magic item in your hand can cause devastating damage to magical seals. It should be able to destroy the Dragon King's seal."

"Well... As for the specific effect, I can't judge."

"Is that so?" Captain Shenren smiled indifferently, his eyes sharpened, and he raised his right arm, holding the spear with his backhand. At the same time, the ring on his left finger emitted a ray of light:

"Magic Destruction"

"[Full force attack]"

The light from the magic ring enveloped the entire spear, and then the worn spear turned into a dark red stream of light and flew towards the location just designated by "Astrology Thousand Miles".

Everyone present became alert in an instant, waiting for the Dragon King of Destruction to be forcibly resurrected.

However!

The next moment.

A silver-white spear suddenly flew from a distance and collided with the spear that Captain Shenren had just thrown out.

Bang!

There was a loud noise in the air.

The two spears were repelled by the recoil force at the same time. The silver-white spear returned in the direction it came from, while the worn-out spear fell to the ground, the spear shaft shaking constantly and making a buzzing sound!

The sudden change left everyone stunned!
