Chapter 212 212. Snakes and Squirrels, the Second Wonder
The surging emerald light, the wheat that was broken and reassembled like a giant snake, and the fire that continued to burn in the entire world.
It really is like the end of the world.
It surged towards where Kroa was and crushed him, as if to completely crush his consciousness.
Honestly, it's pretty scary.
But it just looks scary.
Croa remained unmoved and stayed where he was with no intention of escaping.
Since he could easily ignite this space with fire, he certainly wouldn't care about the backlash from the dream space.
What he is concerned about now is how to completely suppress the riot here without affecting the squirrels.
After all, the squirrel might also be a favored darling of nature, and it would be a pity to kill it accidentally.
"Since we can't resolve it amicably, let's just resolve it directly."
So Cloya chose a simple and rough suppression method -
His disguise disappeared.
The robe filled with starlight moved without wind, and the red, orange and yellow halos on it rotated around him. The three-color light and the virtual moon leaf-shaped magic device on his finger burst out at the same time.
In just a breath, his hair and every inch of skin on his body were emitting a halo of light, and he was transformed into a shining sun.
Endless three-color light shines all around.
Nothing can stand under the light for even a second, not even the blurry emerald halo.
During the day, when the sun rises, it is not the time period for dreams to exist.
"It's so comfortable, wow, so cozy!"
This was the first time that Croa released the light and heat of the sun with all his strength - the light and heat of destruction.
He has always used the magical properties of the sun to warm all things, and this is really a rare experience.
Even made him groan.
This does not require any skills at all. When the strength of magic power reaches a certain limit, the light emitted by the magic power alone is enough to destroy everything.
This is the situation now.
The power of dreams quickly collapsed before the light of the sun.
Except for the place where the squirrel stood, everything else was dissolving, melting under the sun like the mist in the early morning.
“Huh.”
In the process of releasing the magic, he felt something...it was another piece in "Golden Melody" together with the Eternal Hymn.
It is the destruction that is the exact opposite of "eternity", the destructive power that melts everything under the sun and turns it into ashes.
At a certain moment, Kloya even felt that his thoughts and consciousness began to blur, and only the radiated light remained.
The power also began to double.
Gao Yuan was indifferent, as if he had turned into the sun hanging in the sky at this moment, shining the light of destruction on the whole world.
Honestly, this experience was pretty bad.
It became terrible in an instant - I didn't mean to destroy it!
This state affected his mood.
He instinctively began to reject this state, rejecting the lofty and indifferent attitude that he was about to become, without any sadness or joy.
This was completely different from his usual feeling of collecting various sounds to warm and illuminate the monsters and plants.
He even doubted whether this was a chapter from "The Poem of the Rainbow" - but it was.
It took him some effort to force himself out of this state.
In the following time, he avoided himself from falling into this state while carefully exploring its structure.
But unfortunately, after he came out of that state, he could no longer find any trace of him.
It's like it never existed.
Even Cloya had to temporarily give up research and exploration and concentrate on sensing the changes around him.
Time passes slowly.
Croix could clearly feel that there was something.
It still hides in the dream and refuses to appear.
Although that thing is an extension of natural consciousness, it is definitely not natural consciousness itself.
That's why Croix chose this method.
It's really simple and direct to say it.
Even when he came out of that state of destruction, the entire dream was soon shaken.
Soon, a consciousness very reluctantly sent out a mental wave of begging for mercy to Kloya.
Croix decided to stop while he was ahead and restrained his own light.
The dream world was shattered at this moment. Cloya opened his eyes and saw a snake with emerald scales appearing in front of him.
It should be about three meters long and probably as thick as an adult's arm. Although it is a snake, it does not have the fear and disgust of a cold-blooded animal.
This comes from the scales on its body.
Those green, clear and bright scales sparkle with warm light in the moonlight, giving people the feeling of being a work of art.
"My lord, be careful!"
The two apprentices who had been following Cloya immediately stepped forward to block the snake, and at the same time showed their weapons, being very cautious.
"It's fine."
Croa ordered them to step back and stared at the snake in front of him with interest. Not surprisingly, he saw the structure inside its body that was completely formed by magic.
"Emerald Demonic Serpent, an elemental creature."
"I felt that the world I saw just now was a little strange. Is it the world you saw?"
"It's so empty and lonely, with only you and the squirrel."
He used the art of communication with all things to talk to it.
But this guy just stared at Cloya, completely unmoved.
"Humph, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it."
Kloya snorted coldly and continued to use the Astral Body Imprinting Technique to study the body structure of the snake more carefully - to be precise, it was a spell model that was extremely similar to dream manipulation.
'Could it be that dream control is also a simplified version of some great magic? I can actually see a similar structure on a snake...' Kloya thought.
If the dream control he was learning now was common to humans and humanoid races, then this one seemed to be designed specifically for the Emerald Serpent.
The changes and modifications of the magic made Cloya feel very novel.
He watched intently, and the Emerald Demon Snake did not move.
The man and the snake were stuck in a stalemate.
In the end, the stalemate was finally broken when the squirrel, forced to wake up after its dream was shattered, poked its head out of the straw pile.
It poked its head out to look, and when it saw the Emerald Demon Serpent confronting Kloya, it immediately let out a sharp squeak.
Then it jumped directly onto the snake's raised body.
Carefully holding the other's head, he rubbed it with his plump cheek.
The Emerald Demon Snake spit out its tongue helplessly, then crawled down obediently, allowing the squirrel to hold its head, and it seemed to be enjoying it.
With the sudden appearance of this troublemaker, the stalemate obviously could not continue. Cloya looked at the squirrel's intimate behavior towards the Emerald Demon Snake and suddenly felt a strange feeling.
Could it be that... the squirrel fell in love with the snake?
Generally speaking, the brain of a Warcraft is a fatal weakness, and it will never be controlled by other beings at will. A situation like this is obviously very abnormal.
"you……"
He used the art of communication with all things to communicate with the two monsters.
But before the squirrel could answer, the emerald snake next to it spit out a breath of emerald-colored mist, and a very clear picture appeared in it.
The first thing that came was windy and snowy weather.
The squirrel was hibernating in its nest which was filled with food, with its tail as a pillow, when it suddenly felt something fall in front of the nest.
When it went out and took a look, it turned out to be an egg.
After a brief hesitation, it dragged the egg into its nest and used it as a large pillow to sleep.
Because it was a snowstorm, it had no way to go out to find food, and there was plenty of food, so it slept with the eggs in its arms every day.
As time went by, the egg gradually cracked.
A very cute little snake crawled out from it.
The squirrel was scared at first, but then for some reason it started taking care of the little snake.
It would chew up the most delicious wheat grains and feed them to the little snake. It would also use its body temperature to melt ice and snow to bring snow water. It would also cover the little snake with its tail when it was cold.
It can be said that throughout the winter, it was its warmth that prevented the little snake from falling into a dead and cold slumber.
A snake and a squirrel stayed in a small and warm nest, interacting and accompanying each other through the entire long winter.
By the time the hot wind from the ocean awakened the earth to life, the small snake had grown into a big snake.
It took the initiative to help the squirrel collect food, and delivered piles of wheat to the squirrel's nest, and also brought fresh spring water and breeze.
It took meticulous care of the squirrel, wrapped its body around it, and injected its magic power into the latter.
Just like the squirrels did to it when it was a baby.
The scene ends here.
Although it was brief, Cloya understood what it meant. It turned out that this snake was the squirrel's child.
“…”
He couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.
Is this some fairy tale?
Honestly speaking, he felt that too many details were probably omitted, but judging from the looks of the two monsters, they didn't seem to intend to say much.
So, he looked deeply at the Emerald Demon Serpent, and only looked away after the latter became a little uneasy.
"I want to ask you for help."
He then described in detail what he wanted the squirrel to do for him.
Of course he also promised enough benefits.
For example, he promised to give it absolute protection and an inexhaustible supply of food as long as it stayed within his territory.
And he took out a pile of pine cones on the spot - including fruits of seven or eight kinds of pine trees, including dwarf flame pine, red flame pine, and snow mist pine.
There were all kinds of colors, gray, red, white, blue, and green, and every surface was flowing with a magical luster, obviously of excellent quality.
When the squirrel saw the pile of magical pine cones, his eyes immediately lit up and he nodded his head in agreement.
Then he held the pine cone and started to chew it.
The Emerald Demon Snake looked at the squirrel that abandoned it to gnaw on pine cones, and a complex emotion seemed to flash across its eyes.
“Pah.”
Before it could think about it, a bunch of crystal clear fruits that looked like grapes fell in front of it.
"I don't believe you won't fall for this."
This is a magical plant he found in the sea, called the Vast Sea Demonic Algae. It is an elemental magical plant, and the fruits it grows are grape-shaped and as thick as fingers.
This magical plant is very special. It can only grow in seas with clear, warm waters, plenty of light and full of magical power. It appeared after he helped the Grass of Wisdom purify the waters around Hanjiao Island.
Such harsh growing conditions also bring them abundant magical powers and nutrients that are beneficial to the human body. Fishermen in coastal areas call them "the gift of the sea god."
Whether it is monsters or humans, there are great benefits after taking it, especially elemental monsters, which are basically unable to refuse.
For example, now.
The demon snake's eyes were immediately attracted to it.
The snake's tongue was making a hissing sound.
It seemed like he was trying to resist eating it, but he just couldn't help it.
Finally, he pounced on them and started eating these finger-sized grapes raw, one bite at a time. He simply couldn't stop eating.
Seeing this, Croix smiled with satisfaction.
…
After dealing with the two monsters, the rest will be easy.
Croa chose a sunny morning to stand on the ground and use the stone given by Miffin.
The stone shattered into golden colors like wheat waves, gently brushed across the earth from his hands, and then swirled in front of him.
It was just like the conversation with the consciousness of the Telai River.
He felt a heavy consciousness approaching him, sending out mental fluctuations that he could understand: "Hello, Sun."
Having already had one communication experience, Cloya glanced at the glowing stone fragments in his hand and quickly described what he was going to do.
Before the stone lost its effect, I got the answer: "Okay~"
The stone fragments instantly turned into even smaller pieces and fell to the ground, inviting Cloya to hurry up.
With its permission, Cloya did not hesitate and immediately found the snake and the squirrel and began to carry out his plan.
He watched the squirrel and the emerald snake plant the wheat they had brought one by one - the latter would dig holes with its tail, while the former would bury the wheat in the soil with its flexible claws and then sweep the soil over with its tail to cover it up.
The two worked together seamlessly, and all the wheat was planted in just one day.
Croa, who was sitting on a rock and watching them, blinked his eyes. He always felt that these trees were really random, with one tree here and one tree there.
But there is a kind of beauty inexplicably.
During this period, there were also some other animals, such as magic bulls, magic tigers, sables, leopards...
Anyway, all the magical beasts that Maigu Leader could see came over and watched the squirrel and the emerald magic snake work.
Some of them might be attracted and want to get close to the wheat and eat it directly.
However, under the threat of the Emerald Demon Serpent, he did not dare to get close.
One bear seemed to have mustered up the courage to approach, but was immediately transformed into an emerald bear sculpture by a pool of green liquid spit out by the demon snake.
From then on, no monsters dared to approach the squirrels and wheat fields.
After witnessing this scene, Croa instantly doubted whether what he did was right. Didn’t he say he wanted peace?
This...peace?
His doubts were soon answered.
As the wheat field was completely completed, the magic engraved in the wheat began to take effect.
Four deer left the wheat field in four different directions and walked towards the distance. A gentle wind moved away the stones and grass in front of their bodies.
As long as the road becomes smooth wherever they go.
With every step they took, rice grains would fall with their footsteps and be wolfed down by the magical beasts that had been waiting for a long time.
Slowly, more and more magical beasts followed them.
Bear, tiger, rabbit, groundhog...
These animals, which should be hostile, showed no signs of fighting. Their eyes were shining, as if they were following God's footsteps on a pilgrimage.
Until it became a large black area, until they walked around the entire valley of the wheat field and returned to the wheat field.
The monsters following behind them watched the deer return to the wheat field, and then they all bit their claws.
They watched with anticipation as their own magical blood was spilled into the earth and gathered into streams.
In an instant, the magical blood of the monster rushed into the wheat field, gradually dyeing about an acre of wheat field blood red.
"Uh..." Chloe frowned slightly.
This is so strange. It was obviously a bloody scene, but he didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, he had a very holy feeling.
“So this is a sacrifice?”
He seemed to be thinking about something and continued to wait patiently.
After about five minutes, the blood completely soaked the ground, but the wheat stalks still retained their emerald green and azure blue colors, forming a sharp contrast with the red.
Just at this moment, he felt the changes in the wheat.
A magical power flows quietly through the wheat, silently, but really exists.
"Ah, is that it?"
Croix, who had been keeping an eye on the wheat, cried out in surprise.
In his field of vision, the roots of the entire field of wheat had connected into a whole in the earth, glowing with blood-red and thick ochre light.
There were still countless strange magic patterns surging inside, gradually taking shape in the blood.
[Engraving completed, the magic blood wheat field of Maigu Territory]
[This magic is a fixed wonder magic. After being recognized by the earth or nature and constructed with certain materials, it will gain the following effects:
-
Blood Rice Technique: The fruit of the magic plant will be transformed into rice grains with magical power. After eating the rice grains, resentment and anger will be eliminated, and there will be enough satiety and magic to harmonize the effect.
-
Blood Deer Defending Nature: After summoning this monster, it can rain rice grains formed by the "Blood Rice Spell" and punish everything with the power of the earth through miracle magic.
-
Eternal Blood Contract: This wonder magic requires sufficient Warcraft blood as a supply of magic power. The more different Warcraft blood there is, the more abilities this wonder can derive.
-
I give you everything: The Emerald Serpent, nature's favorite, gives the Gray-tailed Squirrel a blessing that they will share life within the scope of this magical wonder.
-
Please in this dream: The blessing given to the gray-tailed squirrel by the nature's darling can allow it to enjoy happiness in the emerald dream, which is only effective for the gray-tailed squirrel. 】
[Note: This wonder building needs the approval of natural consciousness to take effect.]
After it was completely formed here, the gentle wind and flying dust carried the Emerald Demon Snake and the Gray-tailed Squirrel into it.
Entered into the earth.
At the same time, the consciousness that had just left came back to Croa and brought him a scene... which was not suitable for children.
Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation votes. I’m really grateful!
