Chapter 374 Plague Knight, Blood Moon Coming, Moon God Trial! (1W)

early morning.

Yuexia Castle, Moon Temple.

On both sides of the statue, silver flames were burning in the altar, and a figure in a white dress stood in front of the altar with her eyes closed in prayer.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the spacious temple.

Saint Celine looked back, a warm light flashing in her eyes, and greeted softly.

"Mr. Yeats, how did you rest last night?"

The young duke was tall and slender, dressed neatly and capablely, with deep eyebrows and a slight smile.

"The moonlight divinity in your place is quite abundant. When I fell asleep last night, I could even see them floating in the moonlight that fell through the window."

The divinity is often invisible, emanating from the invisible realms of creation.

The fact that you can see the moonlight flowing like silver liquid means that the divinity of the moonlight in this place is astonishingly rich.

Yeats's soul was filled with the divinity of the dark night. This violent divinity often made him so angry that he could hardly fall asleep. He could only meditate until dawn.

Surrounded by forests and in the quiet moonlight, Moongorge Castle was where the moonlight neutralized the negative effects of the divinity of the dark night, allowing Yeats to have a rare good night's sleep.

When I woke up today, I felt refreshed.

He climbed up the Moon Goddess Peak without stopping, ready to report to Saint Celine in the temple about the suspected disease of the Moon Goddess Tree.

"It is because of the Moon Goddess Tree that the moonlight divinity of Moon Gorge Castle is so abundant."

The silver-haired saint pursed her lips, her eyes dancing with joy and pride, and she said softly: "This holy tree that fell from outer space is a gift from the Moon Goddess to the mortal world. All Moonlight believers are infinitely grateful to it..."

Ye Zhi pondered for a moment, and felt a little embarrassed when he thought about what he was going to say next.

If you say in front of the Moonlight believers that someone's sacred tree has become diseased and you meet an old stubborn person, you will probably be driven out.

Fortunately, Celine and I were also close friends, so it was harmless to confess directly. Ye Zhi cleared his throat and said:

"Actually, the reason I came to see you this time is precisely because of the Moon Goddess Tree."

"The Moon Goddess Tree...what happened?"

A trace of confusion flashed across Celine's eyes. She tilted her head slightly, waiting for Yeats to continue.

"Phoenix, the Knight Commander of the Hospitaller Knights, suspects that something has happened to the roots of the Moon Goddess Tree."

Ye Zhi said: "As for the cause of the plague, one possibility is that the Moon Spring, which flows out from the roots of the tree and irrigates the entire Moon Gorge Castle, caused the plague."

Xilin opened her beautiful eyes wide, with shock in her eyes. She opened her mouth and said hesitantly:

"Is there any concrete evidence for this?"

The status of the Moon Goddess Tree in the sect is self-evident.

A person from the Vatican actually claimed that the Moon Tree was diseased, which was actually an insult to the belief in the Moon Goddess.

But if the situation is really true, it will definitely cause a strong shock to the entire Moonlight Sect!

Even the people’s faith may be impacted!

This was a situation that Celine absolutely did not want to see, and a barely perceptible fear flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Yeats pondered for a while.

Because of the special status of the Moon Goddess Tree, the chain reaction caused by the disease of the sacred tree will be extremely far-reaching.

It's like if you tell a Hindu that the water of their Ganges River contains excessive levels of E. coli, and that it is not only unholy but also causes disease, they will definitely not admit it.

But Celine was not a stubborn old man. Unlike several elders of the sect who stuck to the old ways, with her leading the way, it would be much easier to investigate the sacred tree. Ye Zhi then directly expressed his opinion:

"Although Phoenix is ​​a member of the Vatican, his medical skills are indeed excellent and he has unique insights into the plague. His suspicion is likely to be accurate—"

"And I agree with Phoenix as well."

Yeats made this judgment because he knew that the "Plague People, the Pus Weepers" might have already broken into the base of the sacred tree, which corresponded to the plot where Phoenix killed the "Pus Weepers".

"The roots of the Moon Goddess Tree are likely to be diseased. We need to go underground to conduct an on-site investigation!"

Yeats was straightforward and suggested that Celine lead him and Phoenix to check the roots of the Moon Tree.

Xilin bit her red lips lightly, her eyes flashing with entanglement, and said: "But, the roots of the Moon Goddess Tree are buried deep under the canyon. If you want to find out the root system, you must dig deep into the ground... This is really a blasphemy to the Moon Goddess..."

Ye Zhi could actually use the Shadow Merge spell to go deep underground, but the Moonlight Cult did not practice shadow spells, and now was not the time to reveal that he knew the night spells. He suggested, "The decision is up to you, the high priest, Shilin."

"In my opinion, we should not rush to decide whether to dig or not. We should first cut off the people's water from the underground springs in the canyon and observe the reaction. We can then send a few priests in the sect who are good at medicine to the vicinity of the Moon Goddess Tree to see if there are any traces of the plague curse left. It won't be too late to make a decision then."

Yeats's analysis was well-reasoned. Celine nodded frequently and her eyes unconsciously flashed with admiration as she looked at the young duke.

He is worthy of being a patriotic hero who assisted two dynasties.

Celine's heart was touched...If the plague can be resolved safely, she would do everything she could to secure a place for Duke Yeats in the God's Chosen Trial!

"I understand." Celine nodded slightly. "Most of the water used by the people in the city does come from underground rivers and wells. The roots of the Moon Goddess Tree go deep into the underground river. If the roots are really diseased, then the water source will also be cursed... I will start with the Moon Well first and immediately order the priests to investigate the Moon Goddess Tree!"

After deciding on the direction, Xilin acted vigorously and decisively, showing her ability as the leader of a faction.

Strictly speaking, Celine has not yet officially become the High Priest of Moonlight, and there are still voices of dissent within the sect.

His strength is only at the fourth ring, which is a far cry from the sixth ring High Priestess of Darkness, Magosa.

But Celine has a big advantage over Magosa, that is, her special physique can carry part of the divinity of the Moon Goddess to descend on the material plane.

In Ye Zhi's memory, she was promoted to the Chosen One of the Moon God in the Moon God Trial, and then became a Six-Ring Master, and only then did she completely take charge of the entire Moonlight Sect.

In the process of climbing Moon River, Celine is also an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

Ye Zhi thought to himself.

After all, she is the real owner of this opportunity.

If things go wrong and Celine becomes the Moonlight Chosen One again, many plans will have to be changed.

If it were an evil player, he would have to think about how to kill Celine...

Yeats was in a delicate mood.

There is no need to be so extreme. If Celine really becomes the Chosen One of Moonlight, she will have other ways out.

Everything has a silver lining... except helicopters.

That afternoon.

Under Shilin's command, a group of moonlight priests surrounded the Moon Tree and began to detect the plague curse.

In order to avoid causing religious unrest and panic among citizens, all operations were carried out in secret.

Ye Zhi took some time to meet with Phoenix, the Knight Commander of the Knights Hospitaller, in the reception room of the Duke's Mansion.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Yeats."

Phoenix did not show any embarrassment or resentment when facing Yeats, his old rival who had once captured him. Instead, he displayed a chivalrous demeanor and smiled, saying, "I never expected to meet you again under such circumstances."

Yeats admired people who were neither humble nor arrogant.

Self-confidence comes from neither overestimating nor underestimating one's abilities.

No matter how embarrassed Phoenix was when he was defeated, he was clearly aware that he was a six-ring master and possessed the confidence of a strong man. Now that they met again, there was no darkness or flattery on his face.

Ye Zhi nodded, and did not deliberately bring up the past. Instead, he talked about the situation of the Moon Goddess Tree.

"If High Priest Shilin agrees, she will dig up the Moon Goddess Tree herself in the dead of night, go to the roots of the sacred tree with me to investigate, and then restore it to its original state at dawn."

"Your medical skills are better than mine. I would like to invite you to go with me to the Moon Goddess Tree to find out what's going on. The price is negotiable." Ye Zhi, who was rich, said lightly.

The blond knight's expression suddenly became serious. He stood up and bowed solemnly to Yeats.

Ye Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why are you suddenly bowing?"

"It must be you who mentioned this to the High Priestess of Moonlight, and only then would she be willing to risk the charge of blasphemy and dig up the sacred tree."

Phoenix's eyes flickered, and he placed one hand on the armor on his chest and whispered, "As long as the source of the plague can be solved, tens of thousands of civilians in the city will be saved, and all this will be accomplished by you... Please accept my respect!"

Our Lady.

Yeats implicitly judged Phoenix.

People hate the Virgin Mary, but in fact they hate double standards. They are disgusted by the arrogance and self-satisfaction of standing on the moral high ground.

If it is the Virgin Mary who practices what she preaches and heals and saves lives, she will definitely be respected.

Ye Zhi also stood up, nodded to Phoenix, and said:

"When the time is confirmed, I will come to pick you up and bring you into the city, and then meet with High Priest Shilin in front of the Moon Goddess Tree."

Phoenix had no right to enter Moongorge Castle and could only stay outside the city. This was an order issued by Grand Duke Benoit because he was worried that the Knights might have other intentions.

With Yeats' guarantee, Phoenix could enter the city openly.

But Yeats also had a warning. If all this was faked by Phoenix, then he could just be buried underground, which would reduce a strong enemy in the future.

Facing Yeats' scrutiny, Phoenix smiled brightly and nodded, "Okay, Your Excellency, Lord Honeysuckle, I will wait for your news outside the city. Please allow me to leave... Sorry for the impoliteness."

Sunset.

Crane, who had returned from outside the city, said that Phoenix was still treating patients in the camp.

This really surprised Ye Zhi, and he began to appreciate the talent and thought about how to attract this kind of person to the mountain.

The next night, there was less than a day left until the start of the God's Chosen Trial.

Celine went to Ye Zhi with a serious face and said that she was 80% sure that there was a lesion at the root of the Moon Goddess Tree, which needed to be removed as soon as possible! "I don't understand who brought the curse of the Lord of Plague into the interior of the Moon Goddess Tree."

"What kind of plague believer is this, with a curse on his body that can even corrode the Moon Goddess Tree?"

Celine was baffled.

The Moon Goddess Tree is an alien object, and its pure moonlight divinity has powerful self-healing properties.

And now, the roots of the Moon Goddess Tree have been corroded, which shows that the curse has reached an almost terrifying level!

Faced with the unknown after digging up the roots, Celine instinctively felt a sense of fear, but she couldn't wait to know what kind of monster was lurking deep underground under the Moon Goddess Tree!

Eighty percent of them are “people suffering from plague and oozing pus”.

Yeats pondered to himself.

A plague follower who feeds on debris and decay.

It is said that the Pus-Bleeding One was born into a noble family, but due to the dispute over his bloodline, he was thrown into the sewer at birth, and grew up in endless darkness and despair by swallowing disgusting filth.

Having never seen the outside world, the stench and humus have become a breeding ground for the pus-filled one, and the cold deep underground can make him feel warm.

He could have grown old peacefully, but he unexpectedly saw the outside world and the vicious... sun.

The festering man was in despair, for he discovered that he was the biggest alien in the world. The original breeding ground made him sick, and the unbearable stench made him cry bitterly.

When he was on the verge of collapse, he heard a loving voice:

The Lord of Plague.

Accepting the fate of decay, the Pus Man felt twisted love and warmth in his self-destruction, so he walked underground in this world, spreading plague and curse with his flesh, hoping to make all people in the world "happy".

With the blessing of the Lord of Plague, the Pus-Boiling One has the ability to compress his body and transform it into poison gas and pus, so he also has a way to sneak into the underground of the Moon Goddess Tree.

The self-healing property of the Moon Goddess Tree is not worth mentioning for the one who is filled with despair and pus.

The myriad of strange diseases on the festering creatures alone are enough to cause the Moon Goddess Tree to rot and become diseased, thus triggering a plague that would infect tens of thousands of people.

Yeats had mixed feelings.

There was an 80% chance that he would be at a disadvantage against the Pus-Weeping Man, after all, he was too disgusting. Ye Zhi was extremely reluctant to chop him with the Silver Oak Sword.

Fortunately, the festering man in the plot fell into Phoenix's hands.

According to the principle of plot killing, Phoenix must have a way to restrain the pus-filled one, which is also one of Yeats' considerations for inviting Phoenix to join him.

When this plague is over, the Moon God Trial can officially begin. Secondly, I have made contributions to defending the Moonlight Faith and deserve the Moon God's reward! "So, when do we leave?" Ye Zhi looked at Celine.

"Tonight."

Xilin's face was calm, as if she was ready to invite the gods to possess her, and she said:

"Leave the underground before dawn and end this battle quickly!"

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

These past few days, a huge full moon was rarely seen, occupying almost the entire sky, making the floating moon island in the center look particularly small.

A corner of the full moon was still a little incomplete. In another day, it would be full, and it would be time for the God's Chosen Trial! Ye Zhi retracted his gaze, looked at the blond knight and the silver-haired saint beside him, nodded and said, "Let's begin."

Celine nodded, and instead of using the moonlight spell, she tore open a scroll of a high-level spell.

The sixth-level transformation spell, Moving Mountains and Stones, can move and reshape soil and stone in a larger range than the lower-level 'Stone Shaper'. The caster can form or change the shape of soil and stone within minutes, which is suitable for creating retaining walls, digging ditches or changing terrain.

A high-level mage, able to change the terrain in an instant, is the ultimate weapon on the battlefield.

At the moment when the Mages Guild announced its participation in the secular struggle, Ye Zhi thought that he would soon see a scene where two mages competed to see who could build a city wall higher and faster.

Soon, a huge pit appeared in front of the three people.

Celine frowned and covered her mouth and nose. A strong stench wafted out of the pit.

"It's actually hollow." Phoenix frowned, "It looks like something has already made a nest at the root."

"Go down and take a look."

Yeats distributed Art's Blessing, Green Cardamom to everyone to ward off the stench.

Then he took the lead, with flashes of light rising from his palms to serve as a light source, and fell into the darkness underground.

The air was filled with the smell of decay. A faint light shone in the hollow depths of the underground. Yeats looked up and saw the roots of a giant tree twisted and coiled on the stone wall, like some huge tentacle. There was a sense of oppression brought by the giant object.

"This place looks familiar."

Zuanya said: "It reminds me of the old days on the World Tree."

Yeats didn't care, and carefully approached the direction of the air flow with Phoenix and Celine. The closer they got to the air, the stronger the smell of decay became, and the chattering of the little squirrel became like a voice-over explanation.

"You know Nidhogg, right? He originally lived at the root of the World Tree - Yggdrasil, gnawing on the roots all day long."

"I saw Nidhogg was so bored that he was chewing on the tree's beard, so I tried to talk to him, but he refused to chat with me. So I went to find Vidoflnir on the top of the tree and told him to stop thinking about the golden rooster and learn from Nidhogg that he should eat vegetarian food..."

"Vidofolnir was very angry and told Nidhogg to take care of himself. I told Nidhogg that Vidofolnir was going to take care of you..."

Ye Zhi's forehead jumped and he listened silently to Zuan Ya's complaints.

This is how you conveyed the message between the legendary beasts [Desecrated Black Dragon] and [Withered Wind], right?

Zuanya sighed, and his voice sounded quite lonely.

"In the blink of an eye, all my friends are gone... Fortunately, I have a friend like you, Ye Zhi."

When Zuanya talked about these ancient secret histories, which even exceeded the knowledge of the wise fish Fetan, he listened silently and gave his evaluation slowly: "Ratatosk... I mean, Senior Zuanya, you were very lucky not to be eaten by Nidhogg and Vidoflnir at that time."

"What are you talking about? I was also very strong back then! I could even climb through nine worlds without even taking a breath!" Zuanya snorted.

"Tell me, is there a possibility that as one of the totems of the world tree, you are still alive, then Nidhogg and Vidoflnir are still in the world, but are still sleeping?" Ye Zhi replied in his heart.

Zuan Ya was stunned for a moment, then said:

"So, if we meet them in the future, I'll tell them to give me some respect!"

Yeats was in a strange mood.

No thanks.

I was afraid that if I asked you to bring a message to me, Nidhogg would come to me the next day to discuss his feelings!

The sound of water from the underground river echoed ahead, and the air became increasingly sticky. Even the Art Blessing: Youth Cardamom could hardly resist the suffocating smell of decay.

Xilin's expression gradually became solemn, and she said softly:

"I can feel that the Moon Goddess Tree is crying... The culprit is right in front of us!"

"No, it's not the trees that are crying, it's the wailing from the depths of their souls."

Ye Zhi looked at Phoenix in surprise, and saw compassion and touching on the handsome face of the blond knight, and said hoarsely:

"That is a poor and pathetic soul..."

Deep in the darkness underground, a deformed and ugly figure fell into the shadows, with its back against the damp underground river, hugging the tentacle of a giant tree and gnawing on it.

Ye Zhi couldn't help but let out a breath of cold air.

The figure was wearing a tattered and dirty cloth robe. His body was burly and shapeless, and his body was covered with tumors and cysts. When he sensed the footsteps, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes revealed a red light of madness and despair!

People of the plague, people of pus! Celine's pupils contracted, her beautiful face turned pale and terrified, she shuddered, and said in a chilling voice:

"Goddess of the Moon...what on earth is this..."

Such a terrifying creature actually lives at the bottom of the Moon Goddess Tree!

That nightmarish existence exudes a stench that symbolizes despair and depravity with every breath. Just one look at it will make one feel instinctively nauseous and fearful!

“It’s human.”

Phoenix spoke, his voice filled with sadness and grief, his face showing the guilt that came from facing someone less fortunate.

"A human whose soul was taken away by the plague!"

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Humans have a natural instinct to pursue beauty.

The figure before him completely distorted this instinct and was extremely ugly!

Ye Zhi took a step back, protecting Phoenix in front of him, with mixed feelings.

no.

Even if this thing has a health bar, I don't want to fight it, it will dirty the magic gun! Weapons at the level of the magic gun 'Gayaberg' have already nurtured their own thoughts and can use invisible waves to convey simple emotions to the owner.

There was an instinctive resistance from Gayeberg, and even the sharp tip of his gun was buzzing.

The mistletoe rooted in the tree of life seems indifferent.

The divinity of light can purify filth.

Even those as ugly as the plague believers will be reduced to ashes under the dazzling sunlight.

But Yeats did not want to waste the precious divinity of light on the plague believers.

Luckily, Phoenix was brought along this time... This should be his personal storyline...

Ye Zhi said in a deep voice: "He should be the culprit who caused the disease of the Holy Tree. It is best to kill him directly!"

Celine's cheeks turned pale.

She had grown up in a life of luxury and had never imagined that humans could be so twisted and desperate! The festering man was holding a thick iron rod, with pieces of rotten corpses stuck to the end of the rod, emitting a disgusting stench.

His pustules continued to spurt yellow mucus as he slowly stood up from the filth on the ground. The pus-filled man stared at everyone with a distorted face and began to gasp violently.

Sixth ring spell, plague poison cloud! A yellow-green poisonous mist was exhaled from his mouth, instantly forming a life forbidden zone. The roots touched by the poisonous mist quickly rotted and withered, and the underground river water was also polluted instantly!

The next moment, Xilin had come back to her senses, stopped her body from trembling, and danced with her fingertips in the air. The crystal moonlight flew out like a butterfly! The moonlight butterfly fell into the poisonous fog and was instantly reduced to ashes.

Celine's face looked grim, and her heart was filled with fear. What was the origin of the other party? Why did he suddenly appear at the root of the Moon Tree? Who was behind this?

While thinking, Celine's reaction was a beat slow. The pus-filled man swung the iron rod, and pus like sulfuric acid splashed from the rod!

Ye Zhi hurriedly pulled Celine away, and the pus fell on the ground, instantly dissolving into pits with a "hissing" sound!

"This thing actually has enchanted damage..."

Ye Zhi muttered something and ordered, "Phoenix, there is no need to talk about morality when dealing with the plague believers, you go ahead!"

As he spoke, a beam of white light condensed in Ye Zhi's palm and fell into Phoenix's body.

Inspired by the Six Rings Inspiration, Phoenix's speed suddenly increased, and his figure rushed through the poisonous fog like lightning. The swift sword in his hand was like mercury pouring down the ground, stabbing at the vital points continuously like a torrential rain! However, the pus on the pus-filled person's body seemed to be a natural cushion, offsetting the impact from the swift sword. The pus splashed after the wound was punctured, but it strengthened the plague divinity in the creation field, and the poisonous cloud became more and more intense!

"This thing is disgusting!"

Diamond Teeth shouted, "Yeats, use your fire of judgment!"

"Do you think I don't want to?" Ye Zhi flew to the bottom of the narrow tree roots, avoiding the oncoming poisonous fog, and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid that using sulfur fire here will cause an explosion and collapse the entire Moon Goddess Tree! As he spoke, Ye Zhi took out the master's longbow, drew the bow and put an arrow on it. The arrow burned with fierce fighting spirit and suddenly shot towards the head of the festering person.

The sharp arrow pierced directly through his head, but the man with pus seemed to be unaware of it.

"It doesn't seem very powerful?" said Zuanya.

"…My archery skills are not good enough to keep up with a battle of the sixth ring strength."

Yeats frowned.

Gunmanship is his best area at the moment.

But the practice of archery cannot be abandoned either.

Artemis, the goddess of hunting and a subordinate of the moon goddess, possesses sanctuary-level attainments in archery.

If I could get her guidance, my archery skills would improve rapidly! On the other side.

The pus-filled man completely ignored Ye Zhi. He smelled the pungent smell of disinfectant on Phoenix, and his gloomy and desperate eyes were fixed on the handsome face of the blond knight, and he uttered a short syllable:

"You... also feel... my... happiness..."

"Let me hug you!"

The festering man's face was mad and distorted, emitting a resentful look. He dragged a huge iron rod and rushed towards the blond knight with his burly figure.

The bile and bitter water that spurted out of his mouth contained the corrupt plague divinity, which materialized into strange rotten flowers that grew on the roots of the Moon Goddess Tree. They looked extremely strange, like a lesion, and were creepy.

"happiness?"

Facing the ugly and filthy festering creature, Phoenix's compassionate face showed a trace of emotion, his eyes flickered, and gradually became determined, saying:

"This may be happiness for you...but I cannot let more people fall into the quagmire of the plague. You must fall!"

The festering man was roaring madly like a festering wild beast. The eye-catching wounds on his body were enough to make people feel scared.

Phoenix remained calm, as if he had seen many such scenes before. His swift sword was like a precise scalpel, constantly cutting open the pustules on the festering person's body. The splattering blood splashed on the ground, making a hissing sound! "You... don't understand at all!!"

The pus-flowing man was furious, swinging out an iron rod with great force. The rod was wrapped with dark green plague power, which instantly corroded Phoenix's armor and eroded his flesh! Phoenix suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the poisonous mist took the opportunity to penetrate into his nasal cavity. He felt his body being smashed away by the pus-flowing man's iron rod, and a hellish roar rang in his ears.

"Plague...disease...this is true equality!!"

Ye Zhi was slightly surprised.

Killing the Pus Weeper, shouldn't this be Phoenix's personal highlight in the original film? How come he was almost killed! Is this the Butterfly Effect again?

The next moment, Ye Zhi realized that Phoenix was captured by him, and the holy sword 'Durandel' was still in Ye Zhi's storage ring! Ye Zhi acted quickly, not caring about the information of the lyre being leaked, and immediately played the lyre of light.

Dance to the law!

Even a dehumanized monster like the Pus-Flower, under the influence of the magic of music, his body twitched unconsciously, and he became deadlocked, half-kneeling on the ground with the iron rod in his hand, roaring in resistance.

A hint of surprise flashed across Celine's eyes.

Even a monster like this cannot resist the magic of the music.

This is the amazing achievement of the God of Art in music magic!

Facing a being with the same six rings, the Dance of Law could not control it for too long. Ye Zhi threw the holy sword [Durandel] at Phoenix and said, "Go on!"

Phoenix had already been eroded by the plague, but when he received the 'Immortal Sword' Durandal, a surge of vitality flowed into Phoenix's body from Durandal's hilt! Ye Zhi was amazed.

Is this the charm of a special weapon? No, I still have to keep Durandal so that I can conquer Phoenix in the future! Durandal, no matter how much trauma he suffers, can recover as usual.

Phoenix means "Phoenix" in Rolandic language.

Phoenix was a knight who was good at medical skills and attrition warfare. The moment he grabbed Durandal, his aura suddenly changed, and he slashed at the kneeling festering man with his sharp blade! Puff!

One of the arms of the man with pus oozing out flew in the air and turned into a pool of pus when it landed on the ground.

He let out a childish and painful howl, and the sound waves containing the curse continued to pour into everyone's ears. Yeats used the lyre to interfere, but saw Phoenix standing silently in front of the festering man and did not finish him off immediately.

Ye Zhi's eyes changed slightly, and he shouted:

"Back off, Phoenix!"

The blond knight said nothing, but just stared at the person with pus oozing out in silence. He seemed to be infected by the other's pain, and two tears silently flowed down his face.

"I can't understand your pain, but I can see that you are in pain..."

“The sun is too bright and will burn you, but if you reject the sun, you won’t be able to see the scenery.”

The festering creature suddenly stood up and stretched out his two arms viciously, trying to crush the blond knight!

Clank! Durandal stabbed into the belly of the festering man.

The blond knight kept the sword thrust in his posture, gently stretched out his hand, and gave the ugly plague believer a hug.

"This is the only thing I can do for you."

The doctor looked gentle and said softly:

"May you be happy in your next life."

The festering man froze in place, his life force still not extinguished, the plague divinity that filled the surroundings continued to flow towards him, filling his wounds.

The Phoenix's embrace was like a sword sharper than the holy sword, piercing into the chest of the festering man.

He was like a bewildered child, as if he was being hugged for the first time in his life, and he felt an intense pain as if a sword was piercing through his abdomen.

The festering man's arms fell limply, his head drooped, and he whispered:

"Happiness... makes me... so painful..."

His body began to tremble violently, a strange light emanated from his body, and his eyes widened with trance. The plague god became violent, miasma rushed into his body crazily, and thick mucus oozed out from his cracked skin! Ye Zhi's pupils contracted.

"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct!"

The forbidden spells in the plague school are extremely common among the stitched monsters led by the abomination, and the plague believers will also use this spell when they voluntarily give up their lives, forming large-scale poisonous fog and pollution!

Celine's face turned pale instantly.

The self-explosion of the Six Rings Master was extremely powerful, and he exploded in the Moon Goddess Tree. The consequences were disastrous! The situation was critical, and Ye Zhi no longer concealed it. He instantly activated the Dark Night Fighting Qi and formed a pitch-black cloak on his body.

'Blessing of the Dark Night·Night Spirit Clothes' is the most powerful protective spell that Ye Zhi currently possesses. From the outside, it looks no different from an ordinary windbreaker, and there is no clue.

Ye Zhi flew into the air, picked up Celine with one hand, and flashed more than five meters away, and then quickly retreated with the "Shadow Step", exerting his survival instinct to the extreme! On the other hand, Phoenix was in front of the self-explosion, but fortunately, he had the "Immortal Barrier" of the Holy Sword "Durandel", which could offset most of the impact for him.

Boom! ! A deafening explosion sounded, and the festering person's body instantly flew with blood and flesh, and fragments were scattered everywhere. The shock wave of the explosion swept around, carrying a strong stench, and quickly corroded the roots of the Moon Goddess Tree.

The entire Moon Goddess Tree was shaking!

At night, countless citizens of Yuexia Castle were awakened from their sleep and looked out the window in shock.

The bright silver moon hung in the sky, and a red light emerged from a corner of the silver moon, like a blood-red tide engulfing the moon, shrouding the blood moon and casting a blood-red shadow! "What...what on earth is going on?!"

"Why did the moon turn red?"

"Moon Goddess, if we have done anything wrong, we ask for your forgiveness!"

Under the gaze of the blood moon, even the most devout believers of the Moon God felt great fear and oppression, and they all knelt before the blood moon, begging for the god's forgiveness.

Moonlight Temple.

The temple guard Luvian looked up in disbelief, staring at the blood moon in the sky with a shocked expression.

"The moon on the holy day should be blue, but now it is emitting an ominous red light. This is a blasphemy against the authority of the Moon God!"

Luvian's sister looked up at the sky with worry, and said, "I think something must have gone wrong with the Moon Goddess Tree!"

The next moment.

Luvian's pupils contracted.

In his frightened eyes, he saw a figure floating in the center of the blood moon.

The blood moon was hanging high in the sky, and a knight was riding a white horse, floating in the center of the blood moon. The red light made his figure look like a demon from hell.

When she accidentally met the eyes of the knight on the white horse, Luvian felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. Her teeth chattered in fear.

Luna's panicked voice rang out.

"Brother, that is the Holy Land, we cannot contend with it...Brother..."

Luna's screams were drowned out by the tangible fear, and Luvian was horrified to find that under the reflection of the blood moon, she could not feel any connection with her sister!

This was more despairing to Luvian than death. He looked up and stared at the white horse knight in the center of the blood moon, eager to know his origin and purpose! The white horse knight was wearing armor, an iron helmet, holding a bow, and his cloak fluttering. He looked down at the city under the night sky with a cold and piercing gaze. Outside the city.

The woman in a windbreaker and an iron mask stood on a cliff in the freezing wind. Her golden eyes gazed at the knight on a white horse under the blood moon. She stretched out her silver arms towards the blood moon, with her five fingers slightly bent, as if stroking the moon that was like a red crystal ball.

Beside Famula, glittering light formed white feathers. No one was visible, only Raphael was quoting scriptures in a gentle voice.

“‘I saw the Lamb open the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!”

"And I looked, and behold, a white horse; and his rider had a bow; and a crown was given to him: and he went out conquering, and to conquer."

Famula said: "So, what is under the blood moon..."

"【Plague Knight】."

Raphael said, "He is one of the four knights who fight for God."

Famula was silent for a moment, then said, "I thought you were the only apostle involved in this operation."

"To be precise, the Four Horsemen and the Seven Apostles belong to different fields, and the Plague Knight in front of you is just descending with the help of the [Container]..."

Raphael said: "I can't help you directly. If you want to climb the Moon River, you have to rely on yourself."

"But I haven't seen the Moon River yet."

"You'll see it soon."

Suddenly, under the blood moon, the Plague Knight raised his longbow high. The bowstring glowed dark red under the light of the blood moon. A dark red arrow tore through the sky like a meteor and hit the Moon Island above the Moon Goddess Tree.

The floating moon island shook and broke with a loud bang.

Under the horrified and shocked gazes of the entire city’s citizens, the Moon Island crashed down into the great rift valley in the center of Moon Gorge Castle! ! Boom! ! ! At that moment, the terrifying shock wave shook the entire city, and the huge Moon Island that fell into the valley gave people a direct impression, as if it was several times larger than the image hanging high in the sky.

On the highest peak of Moon Island, a streak of silver silk suddenly passed by, and the mighty Moon River turned into a waterfall, pouring down from the Moon Peak!

"Due to the destruction caused by Plague Knight, the Moonlight Temple activated its self-protection, and the Moon River was activated in advance."

Raphael looked at the Moonlight Waterfall that was cascading down and said:

"And now, as long as we ascend to the Moon Temple, we can not only obtain the magical instrument [Moon River], but also plunder the authority of the Moon God!"

"In that case, why don't you let the Plague Knight take action directly? After all, the Sanctuary is a hundred times stronger than me." Famula said grimly.

"The Holy Land has its own battlefield."

Under the blood moon.

The Plague Knight suddenly had a premonition of something, pulled the reins, and looked towards the gray-haired figure formed by the mist.

Goddess of the Mist!

The most unpredictable of all the gods.

Relying on his mastery of illusion, he often sends down clones to walk the earth in person! "So, what is your relationship with the Lord of Plague?"

Daisy twirled her gray hair with her fingers and asked with interest:

"Or is it you who caused the plague in the first place? Hmm... how do you say that..."

Daisy's eyes were crystal clear, and she said meaningfully:

"'If you want to resolve a conflict, you must first create it'?"

The Plague Knight remained silent, then suddenly drew his bow and shot a sharp arrow! !

In the aftermath of the explosion, Ye Zhi crawled out of the ruins, looked up at the blood moon, and stood there in a daze.

Celine also looked confused and shocked.

When she saw the falling Moon Island, she made a prompt decision and said, "Ye Zhi, the Moon God Trial has been forced to be brought forward!"

“We must climb up the Moon River and pray to the Moonlight Goddess for a miracle to end this blood moon!!”

Yeats took a deep breath.

The next moment, his figure suddenly flashed out and rushed towards the Moonlight River that was like a silver waterfall pouring back! Become the Moon God's Chosen One, today! ! (End of this chapter)
