Chapter 311 Everyone goes first, I come last (4.7k, there are modifications, please refresh)

"Puff puff puff puff!"

Hundreds of fissioning light arrows fell from the air like meteors. Dozens of monsters roaming in the forest, before they could react, blood sprayed out one after another. They fell to the ground with a groan, and kept making dying convulsions. .

Atalanta, who was squatting among the branches of the trees, put down the Sky Bow in her hand and waved forward.

A rustling sound rang out from the dense forest behind. Several heavily armed teams stepped out of the fog, setting up shields and spears, and struck the monsters that were not dead yet.

"Clean the battlefield and move on!"

From the magical resonance spell maintained by the priests, the command of Commander Hippomenes came.

The crusaders immediately took out their knives, quickly dismembered the monsters, and took away the valuable parts as additional gains for the hunt.

The fur of Warcraft can be used as raw material for making leather armor after being tanned and stored;

The flesh and blood of Warcraft is rich in nutrients and can be cooked into food that strengthens the body;

The organs and bones of Warcraft gather special spirituality and are important ingredients in making some magic props and potions;

There is also magic core, which is the most precious thing. It is not only used in many fields from people's livelihood to mystery, but also is the performance certificate of this crusade mission. As long as you go to the palace or temple with the corresponding quantity and quality of magic core, you can redeem it. A hefty reward…

Most of the divine descendants who participated in this [Beast Disaster] crusade had little strength or reputation, and no prominent background. The reason why they came to Arcadia to help was not only the sense of justice to eliminate harm for the people, but more importantly, the desire to Through this hunt, you can obtain certain resources for yourself.

Fortunately, Hippomenes, the commander this time, was quite reasonable and gave them time to harvest the spoils of war.

However, Atalanta frowned slightly as she looked at the gradually scattered formations on the ground fighting for the spoils.

It's not impossible to clean up the battlefield, but at the moment, there are many dangers. It's not a wise choice to not take the lead in concentrating efforts to solve the trouble, but to drag down the overall action because of a little benefit.

Besides, it's going to be dark soon.

At night, the advantage of Warcraft will be greatly highlighted. Even an elite team composed of divine blood heroes may suffer due to the unfamiliar environment of the Arcadia mountains.

At that point, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Just when this local native hunter wanted to speak out to persuade,

Bursts of dull tremors came from the ground, and violent beast roars came one after another.

"The monster is here again!"

Atalanta shouted a reminder, and then relied on the keen sense of felines to look far into the deep forest where the leaves were falling. She drew her bow and fired an arrow forward to slow down the impact of the swarm of monsters. Speed, buying time for the teammates below to reorganize their formation.

"Puff puff puff puff!"

Dozens of monsters that were turned into hedgehogs by light arrows fell to the ground and died on the spot, but more monsters were spread out like a carpet and swept in densely. A small wave of arrows could only bring a drop in the bucket.

"Line up to meet the enemy!"

Fortunately, those who came this time were all elites with divine blood and relatively rich experience in fighting, so they knew what was important and what was important.

Accompanied by the knocking of shields, a group of crusaders immediately got ready and returned to the team, shrinking closer to their familiar partners, working together like a precision instrument.

"When the stars are in the right position, the circle of reason appears here. The origin is extremely small and expands to infinity. The output is one-third of the quadratic side of lapis lazuli, giving the empty land the light of the sky!"

Under the solemn chanting of the divine words, the Hermetic believers crushed the lapis lazuli in their hands and activated a large-scale ceremonial spell that combined astrology and alchemy.

Along with the scattering of lapis lazuli light dust, a light-shaped ring, large or small, positive or negative, was constructed in the sky, automatically focusing on the mighty beast tide coming ahead like a cluster of heavy artillery.

"Buzz!"

As the last syllable of the chant ceases, the stars echoing it cast a bright light.

"boom!"

As the earth trembled and the mountains shook, the earth splashed, the rumbling tremors lasted for miles, and a huge explosion cloud rose into the sky.

The dense forest hit by the Starlight Heavy Cannon formed a pitted and desolate area, and the bodies of hundreds of monsters at the center of the explosion were gone.

Seeing their colleagues show off their power, the followers of the Eleusinian Mystery Cult were not to be outdone and sang the congratulations together.

"O kind and dark Mother Goddess of Earth, may their souls rest in your arms forever!"

As monsters appeared in the dense forest ahead, strange tremors were heard from the ground.

In an instant, rocks tear apart, creating deep valleys with crisscrossing ravines; or the soil rises, turning into sharp thorns.

The dense formation of monsters was immediately dispersed, and they kept making wails of falling into deep valleys and being penetrated by ground thorns.

Immediately afterwards, red and black spear thorns like thorns broke out of the ground.

Those monsters that stopped in an emergency were also stabbed to the core and could not survive this sudden change.

At the same time, black-green fluorescence rose from everyone's feet, sinking into the bodies of the crusaders like little stars.

A kind of rhythm originating from the earth, as well as the excitement that awakens the potential of life, made everyone marvel.

The Eleusinian Cult regards Demeter, the **** of agriculture, and Persephone, the queen of the underworld, as the light and dark sides of the Earth Mother Goddess, who jointly control the power of life and death. Therefore, the healing magicians of the Eleusinian Cult can It doesn't just serve as a wet nurse in the team.

After admiring the performances of the three sects, Lorne pointed to the setting sun on the horizon and reminded the twin brothers in a deep voice.

"It's getting dark. We need to find the source of the [beast disaster] as soon as possible and tell them not to waste time and energy on these guys."

The twin brothers nodded and immediately approached Hippomenes, who was responsible for command and coordination, to make suggestions.

Hippomenes' eyes flashed, a little embarrassed.

"We have just experienced several fierce battles, and everyone is exhausted. It would be a bit overwhelming to force them to march again."

"I don't know how many monsters there are in the mountains. If it gets delayed until night, the situation may be even more unfavorable to us."

Castor, the elder brother of the twins, retorted and looked at Hippomenes with a frown.

Hippomenes thought for a moment and came up with a compromise.

"Let's see. The two princes are very brave. Can they go forward to explore the way for the main force? In this way, we may be able to avoid meaningless battles and put down the [beast disaster] in Arcadia as soon as possible."

The twin brothers who came here for this purpose heard this and nodded in agreement without thinking.

"Let's go too!"

Just as the two brothers were preparing to set off, Lorne took Atalanta and Medea out of the array and volunteered.

When the twins heard this, they hesitated slightly.

"More people, please take care of us." Lorne said with a smile, then blinked teasingly, "What? You two brothers don't mind us getting in the way, right?"

When the words came to this point, the twin brothers didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so they had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Immediately, the five people spontaneously formed a formation, with Atalanta acting as a scout in front, the twins scattered on the left and right, responsible for guarding the two wings, and Lorne in the center to protect the spellcaster Medea and provide support to the entire team.

With the extremely powerful breakthrough force, the team easily cut through the charge of hundreds of monsters and headed upstream.

The superb fighting skills and tacit cooperation aroused a burst of admiration and cheers from the heroes.

"Follow me!"

Hippomenes ordered in a deep voice, looking at the figures of the five people in front of him, which gradually became darker.

At this time, as he moved away from the team, Lorne reminded the people around him in a deep voice.

"Our goal is not to kill the monsters in Arcadia, but to find and solve the source of the beast disaster, so don't be reluctant to fight and move forward quickly!"

The four of them nodded one after another, gave up on destroying the monsters, and tried their best to avoid fighting, speeding through the dense forest, and guiding the team behind them to the safest path.

With the assistance of this elite team, the marching speed of the crusaders was effectively improved, and the journey was almost unobstructed.

Even if they occasionally encounter an invasion by a small group of monsters, they will either be blown to pieces by magicians or killed cleanly by divine blood heroes.

But as they get closer and closer to the depths of the Arcadia mountains, the five-person team exploring the path find that the surrounding environment becomes increasingly strange.

Large areas of grass died, revealing red-black putrid soil, and the bones of various animals scattered everywhere.

The previously lush forest trees had not only withered away their leaves, leaving only the bare trunks and branches, but the shapes of the outer branches had become increasingly weird and ferocious, like coiled giant snakes.

What's even more unusual is that there are red and black vein-like veins inside the skin of these dead trees.

The further forward, the shapes of the dead trees and branches become more ferocious, and the lines become clearer.

Seeing that the road at the end was almost completely filled with similar things, Lorne narrowed his eyes and frowned.

This thing seems a bit familiar...

Immediately, he stopped in front of the dead forest and shouted loudly.

"Wait a minute!" Everyone stopped when they heard the sound and looked at Lorne in the center with confusion.

Lorne didn't waste any time. He used the remaining force of the impact to pull out a throwing gun and threw his arm forward.

"puff!"

Amidst the dull and heart-wrenching sound of piercing, sawdust flew into the air.

But what's even more penetrating is that red-black juice like blood is gurgling out from the wound.

"Shasha~~"

The dead branches and vines hanging on the trees twisted violently, like a group of crawling snakes and pythons snaking towards the five people.

These trees are alive!

Everyone's expressions changed, and they immediately distanced themselves and entered a fighting state, cutting off the dead branches and vines that came up.

But even so, the half-length branches and vines that fell to the ground were still like snakes and pythons, persevering towards the five people.

Upon seeing this, Medea quickly waved her tin staff and chanted the divine words at high speed.

As the small hands inserted the tin stick into the ground, a fiery red magic array was instantly formed around it. The buzzing ether gathered into blazing red pillars of flame and rose up, covering the wriggling branches and vines on the ground and the entire strange dry land. The woods were set on fire.

Suddenly, the strange trees wrapped in the fire twisted and swayed, and faintly let out chaotic screams like dragons, snakes, cows, and humans.

But under the large-scale fire magic, they finally had nowhere to escape and were burned to ashes one after another.

"Well done!"

Lorne patted Medea on the shoulder and admired this junior sister's adaptability and magic control.

Hearing the compliment from her senior brother, the little witch blushed and felt flattered.

"You and aunt taught me well."

When Luo En heard this, he couldn't help but feel a strange sense of déjà vu.

It seems that this is how he praised his master Hecate back then, right?

In view of the excellent tradition of masters and apprentices cheating on each other in Ayu Island, and Medea's nickname of "Betrayal Witch" in the future, Lorne's eyelids twitched and he quickly coughed as a reminder.

"Don't be so humble next time. You learned well."

Medea nodded shyly, then looked at Lorne curiously and asked her doubts.

"Brother, how do you know there is something wrong with these trees?"

"Don't you think there are too many dead bones in the woods? Even if the monsters want to have a dinner, they shouldn't be so concentrated, right?"

Lorne replied in a deep voice, then glanced at the piles of burned ashes on the ground, his eyes twinkling faintly.

"Besides, I seem to have seen similar things..."

Crypt of Arima, black vines growing around the head of Typhon!

"Roar!"

As if in response to his guess, a low roar like thunder came from the distance.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There were violent impacts and explosions, and violent concussions rippled around.

Under this continuous roar, the rocks in the Arcadia Mountains in the distance fell, and the mountain began to shake a little.

At the same time, thousands of various magical beasts living nearby were lying on the ground anxiously and uneasily, trembling and looking in a certain direction.

"Left ahead, seven kilometers!"

Atalanta jumped down from the tree branch and gave her basic directions.

"It seems that is the source. Let's go first and let them follow quickly!"

Lorne spoke in a deep voice, asking Atalanta to leave a message, and then quickly headed towards the destination with his own team before the main team could meet up.

Following the trembling on the ground and tracing back to the source, the five people quickly reached the hinterland of the Arcadia mountains.

From a distance, a huge crack appeared in the heart of the mountain, with red and black light flickering faintly.

"It should be right here!"

The twin brothers looked excited and immediately wanted to rush forward to completely solve the trouble in Arcadia.

However, a horizontal arm blocked the two of them. Lorne glanced at the crack not far away, and then looked at the two brothers with a half-smile.

"Look, it's urgent."

Two-quarters of an hour later, hundreds of crusaders arrived at the heart of the mountain.

Hippomenes looked around and asked in a deep voice.

"Where are the people?"

"There are footprints ahead, which seem to lead to the crack." A hero exploring the path answered.

"Hurry up and catch up! What if something happens to someone?"

Hippomenes scolded him coldly, his face inexplicably ugly, as if he was really worried about the safety of his companions.

Everyone immediately moved forward as a team, heading towards the crack that exuded an ominous aura.

At the same time, on the top of a mountain hundreds of meters away, the twin brothers looked at the team of conquerors approaching the crack in the distance, hesitating on their faces.

"Do we really want them to take the lead?"

"How can we take all the benefits? The brother troops behind us have been recuperating for so long. It's their turn this time."

Lorne answered righteously, then took a sip of the unfinished wine in the pot, lay down on the bluestone, and squinted at the team that entered the core area of ​​the beast disaster.

In front of the crack in the mountain belly, the heroes who stopped were shocked.

Looking around, it's like looking into an abyss.

The fissure that ran across the mountain was scarlet inside.

The intricate channels are connected to each other, like twisted blood vessels spreading from the depths of the earth.

Under the rich red and black light patterns, there are rugged stone walls on both sides of the valley. Countless red and black strange veins are densely inserted into the soil, the mountain belly, and the abyss. It is unknown where they extend.

These things are like the banyan tree with its well-developed root system. A single tree forms a forest.

Only by tracing the veins back to the source and condensing the perception to the extreme can one faintly see through the red-black blood light a purple-red heart wrapped between countless blood vessels, root nodules, and gravels, somewhere between virtual and real.

As the light pattern flickers on and off, the heart rises and falls, and the huge tide of magic spreads in all directions through the dense blood vessels.

After the surrounding viscous blood and special liquid dried up, purple-red spots formed, and purple-red egg-shaped embryos like root nodules were spread on both sides. The ferocious monsters are sleeping.

What is this?

Everyone was shocked.

As if sensing an outsider entering, the purple-red embryos stuck to the outside of the blood vessels swayed slightly.

The monsters huddled in the purple-red film rushed left and right, eager to break through this thin layer of obstacles and descend into the world.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

After a while, the sound of vesicles breaking one after another was heard, and dozens of monsters, big and small, emerged from the egg body, growing and developing at a speed visible to the naked eye until they matured.

Seeing the appearance of these monsters, everyone felt numb.

Chimera, the three-headed monster king! Sphinx! Hydra! And the Nemean Lion!

The descendant of Demon Ancestor Typhon, a top-level **** and monster!

What's even worse is that they saw that the corridors seemed to be covered with shriveled and cracked bags.

As if to verify their suspicions, violent roars came from all around, and ferocious figures jumped out of the cracks and dense forest.

Their aura is more powerful than the waves of beasts that everyone encountered before, their size and appearance are more ferocious, and they also show a more obvious atavism.

The scalps of the crusaders who were surrounded by counterattacks were numb.
