Chapter 103: Scraping the Ground Three Feet
Lin Qi is not trying to exterminate rare species, he is here to perform another kind of Ichi ritual.
With the help of the archmage, Lynch left the mark of the "Light of the Broken Army" on the arcane dragon cub. In the corona, a silver scepter stood in the darkness.
Lynch led Asur and the cub up the stairs.
The starry sky is brought before your eyes, and the boundless jungle is under the feet of the visitors.
On the platform, like any other Ichi shrine, stood a bronze drum, brand new.
Around this sacrificial vessel used to convey the will of the ancient saints, there are small shrines facing inward, filled with various tobaccos.
Under the uneasy gaze of the Arcane Dragon, Lynch lit one of the smoke bombs.
It didn't take long before the aggressive pterosaur began to hover over the Temple of Ichi.
Before they gathered to attack Lynch, five pterosaur riders arrived.
They are the "Ichi Herald Sentinels" who are responsible for the maintenance of the Ichi Temple in the rainforest and also act as messengers.
The riders are all sky warriors who are devout believers of Ichi. They possess extraordinary aerial control skills and can even skim through the rain of arrows from the elves.
Only in this larger Ichi temple would there be a chance to summon this group of ancient saint apostles.
On extremely rare occasions, the Ichi Sentinels will gather together and form an aerial legion under the leadership of a Sky Lord.
Although the most powerful Lord of the Skies is in Hesiota, Ichi's Chief Herald is also a skilled aerial hunter and is no less dangerous than the Lord of the Skies.
According to rumors, during the tragic battle of Black Sun, the previous Lord of the Sky of Ichi died in a blitzkrieg against a Changeling.
Lynch briefly explained the situation, and the scouts began to divide the work and carry out the tasks.
Two riders flew to the Huangqi Gate, one rider extinguished the smoke pile, lit the smoke to disperse the pterosaurs, and at the same time replenished fuel in the platform shrine.
The two Stenks comforted the arcane dragon cub and took the sacrifice brought by Lynch.
The sacrifice is a reward for Ichi's sentinel service and is an unwritten law of the rainforest.
After Lynch met his needs, he led Asul down the stone steps.
The Temple of Ichi is very clean, and the gold that was once used for decoration has disappeared.
This is probably the work of hot-blooded species, who always like to steal bricks and tiles everywhere.
The cold-blooded legions do not patrol the jungle all the time. Most of the time, only the skinks carrying out construction tasks wander among the settlements with their giant lizard companions.
They have no good equipment and lack combat skills. They can only carry out chaotic ambushes or charge fearlessly at the solid battle line composed of muskets and halberds. The brute force of the giant lizards alone is not enough to scare away the tomb raiders.
After the massacre is completed, the creatures that come to Lustria in search of treasure will plunder any shiny objects they can see.
Only when they destroyed something truly important would the Lizardmen Legion terminate the orders they were executing, leave the battlefield, and intercept and destroy the invaders.
Obviously, most of the wilderness temples that are just ceremonial buildings and have no beneficial effect on the "Great Guardian" are not under protection.
The hot-blooded people always have unexpected perseverance. They use various means to go deep into the jungle and bring back the treasures hidden in it, or die in the rainforest.
Although most of the invaders were killed, the few who returned home by boat mostly changed their fate and became upper-class people who were rich enough to rival a country.
This has inspired generations of explorers.
It also caused great damage to the reconstruction work of the cold-blooded species.
Druzi, Norscans, human nations, rebellious dwarves, undead, greenskins...any race that has a desire for gold is a frequent visitor to Lustria.
The elven fortresses in the south and west could not stop all the gold diggers. In fact, they were more of a demonstrative dissuasion with their mighty dragon boat fleets. Those who dared to come to the rainforest to make gold would not lack courage.
No wonder all the Shijianks wanted to eliminate the hot-blooded people, as they had shed the most blood in this unimportant conflict.
The more ruthless creatures confront the forces of Chaos, and rarely appear in the countless local wars with treasure hunters.
Gold is just a decoration. Unless it is a lost stone tablet, it will always be worthless in the eyes of cold-blooded people.
What is precious is the information engraved on it.
The reconstruction work was organized spontaneously by the Skinks, with occasional orders from the Slanns. The buildings being rebuilt were more important, and their destruction would more easily anger the sleeping jungle.
As far as Lynch knows, Lord Mazdamundi, the lord of the Sun City in the north, is a more active Slann.
With its awakening, the hot-blooded people in the Isthmus of Lustria will be slaughtered again and again.
If they disturb Shi Lan's meditation again and again, the second generation Shi Lan will once again show his magical power that can cause the sky to collapse and the earth to split.
More than three hundred years ago, a rebellious hot-blooded creature set up camps several times, affecting the reconstruction plan of the overlord.
The Slann destroyed the prosperous raider cities with earthquakes and brought down storms that sank all ships in the Isthmus of Lustria and the surrounding seas.
This is a Shilan worth winning over, and it is too radical, which is a good thing.
You know, the Lord of the Sun City is the oldest and most powerful Slan in existence, and the real helmsman of the Lizardman Empire! If there is a chance, Lynch hopes to gain the friendship of the Sun City on his journey north.
Leaving the Temple of Ichi, Lynch continued north.
As the Coldblood Empire's legions focus on recovering the relics, there are more signs of warmbloods in the jungle than ever before.
Whether it is a skeleton or a living thing.
Lynch and Asul discovered a group of humans fighting each other in a dangerous jungle.
At first, Lynch only heard a faint gasp, and then a strong fishy smell overwhelmed all the various smells in the jungle.
Lynch didn't expect to see something like this.
From time to time, humans were sucked by the bloodthirsty spores, and the screaming people had extremely happy expressions on their faces.
The plants are drinking from thirst, and the flying insects are laughing.
The undisguised flesh and blood formed an alternative "snake ball".
They squirmed, pleasing their highly focused minds with friction.
Blood overflowed from the sphere, dripped onto the mushrooms and vines, and then disappeared.
The giant blood-sucking mosquitoes had drunk their fill, their bellies bloated with blood, and they were even unable to continue flying.
“Bang!”
The gluttonous feast overwhelmed the diners, and the semi-transparent blood balls swaying in the air stirred up beautiful blood flowers.
The gorgeous and unique fireworks exploded in Lynch's face, the hot scepter evaporated the blood, and the blood mist angered the lizard man.
This vivid scene made Asur's hair stand on end. They were inexplicably influenced and wanted to join in.
Lynch silently activated the arc of light of the scepter, which was one of the evils he wanted to fight against.
The Dark Prince, the power of Slaanesh.
