Chapter 87 [Wind of the King](1/2)
Tang Lie nodded slowly.
The Elf King's profound gaze flickered: "High Priest Ming Lin asked me to help you. I once owed her master a favor. Since she asked, I will definitely do it." His words were full of condescension, which made it difficult for people to feel cordial. feeling.
Tang Lie was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it too much on his expression. The Elf King said: "Pokong, you go and make arrangements to escort Tang Lie through the Lost Forest as soon as possible to avoid Liu Twelve Lang's pursuit," he said slowly. Slowly closing his eyes, he seemed to have finished speaking everything, with an expression as if he was chasing away a guest.
Tang Lie had no intention of leaving immediately. He took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I once met a dying Elf warrior on the way."
The Elf King opened his eyes slightly and said, "Oh,"
"He said something before he died that the Gulie tribe tore up the agreement..."
The Elf King suddenly opened his eyes. Tang Lie's words shocked him: "What did you say?"
Tang Lie handed the ring he collected to Po Kong beside him: "I took this ring off his body. It may be able to prove his identity."
Po Kong carefully inspected the ring, with a sad look on his face. After a long time, he said, "It's Zhuguang." Zhuguang is one of the Seven Heroes of the Divine Arrow, and is also Po Kong's capable and loyal subordinate. Tang Lie confirmed this from his mouth. His death made Po Kong feel indescribable sadness.
The Elf King suddenly stood up. He was tall, more than two meters tall, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his dark blue eyes: "These barbarians just signed an alliance with me, and they tore it up in the blink of an eye. I must settle the score with them,"
Po Kong said: "Father, the current strength of the Gulie clan cannot be compared with ours, and their leader is not a fool. The reason why he did this is that there may be someone behind him."
"No matter who is behind me, I will never give up." The Elf King suddenly grabbed an arrow beside him and threw it forward. Due to the strength, it was like a strong bow and a crossbow, and the arrow penetrated deeply into the opposite side. Among the rock formations, the carved feathers on the tail were still trembling.
Seeing the power of the Elf King, Tang Lie couldn't help but feel secretly frightened.
After venting his anger, the Elf King seemed to have calmed down a lot. He sat down on the cold jade bench again and whispered: "Pokong, go find your elder brother and ask him to immediately find out the ins and outs of this matter." Clearly,"
Po Kong nodded and left with Tang Lie.
Seeing that such a major event had happened to the elves, Tang Lie had no intention of staying here and expressed his intention to leave to Po Kong.
Po Kong nodded and said, "Since Mr. Tang has such a plan, I can't keep him, but I'm afraid I won't have the chance to send Mr. Tang away."
Tang Lie smiled and said: "Second Prince, you don't have to be polite, we can just leave by ourselves."
Po Kong thought for a while, took out a green feather arrow from his quiver, and handed it to Tang Lie solemnly: "From here all the way west, as long as it is within the scope of the Lost Forest, any elf who sees my feather arrow will see it. I will never give you any trouble,"
Tang Lie thanked him repeatedly and had a deep impression of the humble and polite Po Kongong.
After Tang Lie and Po Kong broke up, they returned to the tree house at the foot of the mountain to find the two brothers Pu Gang and Puni. As expected, the two followed Tang Lie's instructions and did not take a step out of the tree house. At this moment, Pu Gang was like an ant on a hot pot. They couldn't bear it any longer. Seeing their master returning safely, the two of them happily greeted him. Pu Gang said loudly: "Master, have you seen the Elf King?"
Tang Lie smiled calmly: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. The war between the elves and the Gulie tribe is about to break out. We should leave as soon as possible."
Pu Gang and Puni quickly packed up their things and followed Tang Lie out of the tree house. They saw an old man from the Elf tribe standing outside the door. The old man had gray beard and hair, his face was full of vicissitudes of life, his shoulders and back were already stooped, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I am Mo Cheng. I came here specially to escort the three of you out of the Mysterious Forest on the orders of the second prince."
Pu Gang smiled and said: "Do you really want to escort us?" He really couldn't imagine how this trembling old man should escort them.
Tang Lie glared at Pu Gang and said with a smile: "The old man is here to lead the way for us."
Mo Cheng nodded and said: "The most difficult part of the lost forest is the second half. Without locals to guide you, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this complicated jungle."
"Thank you, old man,"
Following Mo Cheng, the old man of the Elf tribe, we embarked on the journey again. The Origin God Peak is the most sacred place for the Elf people. Except for a few high-level Elf warriors, few Elf people dare to set foot in this area. Most of the Elf people People live on the west and south sides of the Lost Woods.
Just as Mo Cheng said, as soon as they walked out of the range of Origin God Peak, they encountered fog. Everything within their field of vision was completely white, and even the scenery two meters away could not be clearly distinguished.
Although Mo Cheng was old, his physical strength was not weak. He walked at the front of the team, striding at a rapid pace all morning, and he was not out of breath at all.
Pu Gang suddenly let out a scream, but he accidentally stepped on a thorn on the ground. He sat down on the grass, gritted his teeth and pulled the thorn from his feet, and took a breath of air and said: "Damn it. , there is an ambush here,"
Mo Cheng stopped, turned around and looked at Pu Gang, and said indifferently: "Young man, your eyes and ears are so weak. When you walk, don't just focus on your steps, but also see clearly what's going on under your feet and around you."
Tang Lie rubbed his thighs and said, "Old man, let's take a rest before leaving. It should be lunch time now,"
Mo Cheng nodded and walked aside alone. He groped through the trees with his calloused hands, broke off a lot of dead branches and placed them in the center. Then he lit them with flint. The firelight dispersed the surrounding thick fog, allowing two meters of trees to rise. The scenery within the area gradually became clearer.
Tang Lie closed his sore eyes and walked in the fog. The most tiring thing was his own eyes.
Mo Chengdao: "There is a creek behind you. If you want to clean it, walk all the way there. Remember not to change direction. The same goes when you look back."
Tang Lie nodded, got up and walked back, pushing aside the bushes and walking more than ten meters, he saw a quiet stream. Because the stream flowed very slowly, he did not hear the sound of the water.
I took a cup of the clear stream water to wash away the dust on my face. I immediately felt refreshed. I leaned over the stream and took a few sips, wiped the corners of my lips, and felt extremely comfortable.
Suddenly, he felt something strange on the top of his head. Tang Lie raised his head and looked upward. Because of the fog, he couldn't see what was happening above. Tang Lie opened his eyes wide. When the thing came to his eyes, he saw clearly that it was an almost transparent silk screen. The net rolled to the side in panic, but still could not escape the scope of the big net.
The whole person was shrouded in the silk net like a rice dumpling. In panic, Tang Lie struggled to break free and shouted: "Help," his body had been pulled up into the air, and a sweet and cold voice said: "Who dares to save you? ,"
This voice was so familiar to Tang Lie, and a stunningly beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and he exclaimed: "So it's you,"
Tang Lie's voice calling for help clearly reached everyone's ears. Pu Gang and Puni ran desperately in the direction of the call for help. When they arrived at the stream, they saw that it was empty and Tang Lie was nowhere to be seen. shadow.
When Pu Gang and Pu Ni saw their master missing, they were extremely panicked. They were about to search everywhere, but Mo Cheng grabbed their arms respectively: "There is fog everywhere here, you can't find Tang Lie at all,"
Pu Gang roared angrily: "Are we just going to watch our master being snatched away by the enemy?"
Mo Cheng sighed and said, "There should be nothing wrong with him. It sounds like the person who took him away seemed to be the little princess..."
Tang Lie was thrown heavily onto the grass. He angrily pulled away the silk net on his body and stood up. He saw the little princess gently landing on the grass in front of her with wings as thin as cicada wings. She hadn't seen him for a while. Xiao Nizi has grown up much more than before. Her long blue hair is fluttering in the wind like silk. She is already over 1.70 meters tall. Her body is curvy and she is beginning to have the youthful and sexy look of a girl. Her pretty face has soft and delicate skin, and she has blue eyebrows. The beautiful black eyes below are as pure as clear springs without any impurities.
Facing such a fresh and lovely girl, Tang Lie's anger just now subsided a lot. He snorted dissatisfied, glared at the little princess and said: "There's something wrong with you. You're always ready to make sneak attacks. If you have anything to say, you can't say it to your face." Okay,"
The little princess glared at Tang Lie coldly and said, "Where's Sister Xuan'er?"
Only then did Tang Lie know the real purpose of her coming to him. He rubbed his waist that was hurt by the fall and said, "What are you doing?"
The little princess said angrily: "Tang Lie, you are a shameless, selfish and vulgar guy. You have forgotten what you promised to me. Where did you abduct Sister Xuan'er?"
Tang Lie smiled and said: "Anyway, she is safe, healthy and doing well now."
The little princess' tone softened slightly: "Then why don't you see her coming with you this time?"
Tang Lie said: "You really want to hear it,"
The little princess nodded eagerly.
Tang Lie said: "Because she doesn't want to see your father,"
The little princess blushed, and naturally understood what Tang Lie was referring to, and whispered softly: "You dare to insult my father, or I will kill you,"
Tang Lie was too lazy to argue with her and whispered: "If your curiosity has been satisfied, can you let me leave?"
The little princess blocked Tang Lie's path: "What is your purpose in coming to our tribe this time?"
Tang Lie was angry and funny and said: "Little girl, I don't think I need to explain to you. If you are really curious, just ask your father or your second brother."
"I want to ask you," this little princess is really stubborn.
Tang Lie looked at the vast fog around him and couldn't help but feel worried. Even if this little girl didn't stop him, he might not be able to walk out of the thick fog smoothly. However, this shouldn't be considered a trouble. Wait until he leaves. This little girl, if she calls the little white dragon, it will definitely be able to lead the way for her.
The little princess suddenly exclaimed. Tang Lie followed her gaze and saw a black spot in the sky above his head swooping towards the little princess like lightning. An inexplicable sense of crisis filled him. In Tang Lie's heart, he concluded immediately that the person coming was definitely not an elf.
The little princess hurriedly raised the crossbow in her hand and shot seven arrows at the black spot in succession.
A dull roar erupted in mid-air, and the black spots dropped rapidly. Only then did Tang Lie see clearly that the person coming was a masked man in black, riding on a five-meter-long black pterosaur.
The black pterosaur flapped its wings and instantly shot down the crossbow arrow fired by the little princess. Its red strange eyes stared at the little princess, and it rushed towards the little princess under the command of the black knight.
The little princess never thought that an enemy would suddenly appear in this lost forest, where the elves ruled. She panicked for a moment and fired several crossbow arrows, but they were all blown away by the wings of the pterosaur.
The knight in black stretched out his shiny silver metal claws to grab the little princess.
Tang Lie suddenly rushed forward, pulled the little princess aside, already pulled the dragon-slaying knife out of the scabbard with his right hand, and slashed at the pterosaur's neck with all his strength.
The knight in black originally did not regard Tang Lie as his main target. As soon as he swung the dragon-slaying knife, a powerful sword energy was already pressing towards him.
The pterodactyl's eyes flashed with fear, its neck subconsciously twisted, and its body retreated backwards. The black knight's attack on the little princess was immediately in vain.
The ugly face under the black mask twitched violently. His hand slowly reached towards his shoulder, and he pulled out a two-meter-long white bone sword from behind. A strange shouting sound came from his throat. The pterosaur adjusted its angle and Position, the white bone sword suddenly swooped down from mid-air towards Tang Lie. The white bone sword penetrated the layers of dense fog and made a sharp whistling sound from the violent friction with the air. The knight in black borrowed the power of the pterosaur to swoop down from the high altitude, and used all his strength to The power of the thrust sword is more than doubled.
Tang Lie looked calm and looked at the edge of the opponent's bone sword. He held the dragon-slaying knife with both hands and suddenly slashed towards the tip of the bone sword. The blade of the dragon-slaying knife collided with the tip of the bone sword accurately. The two sides communicated. The huge force exerted by them shook each other's bodies, and powerful air waves radiated around them with them as the center. The soil, sand, rocks, branches and fallen leaves flew up one after another, and the sky and earth originally shrouded in thick fog were filled with smoke and dust.
What surprised Tang Lie was that the bone sword and the indestructible dragon-slaying knife in the opponent's hand did not suffer any damage despite the full impact.
The knight in black was also surprised. He controlled the pterosaur to spin like lightning in the air to the side of Tang Lie, and the bone sword pierced Tang Lie's neck again.
The previous confrontation had already made Tang Lie aware of the opponent's strength. The black knight's power should be inferior to his own. If he hadn't borrowed the pterosaur's condescending momentum, his attack power would have been much weaker.
Tang Lie used his backhand to block the black knight's blow with his blade.
At this time, the little princess had woken up from the initial shock, and she aimed the crossbow arrows at the pterosaur one after another. However, the pterosaur's skin was extremely tough, and the little princess's repeated shots did not cause any damage to it.
After fighting Tang Lie for a long time without success, the knight in black gradually became agitated. A strange cry came out from his throat, and another knight in black swooped towards Tang Lie on a pterosaur in the sky.
Tang Lie complained secretly. With his strength, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with the black knight, but the opponent was condescending and took advantage of the location. Now that he had another companion, his attack power doubled.
The little princess fluttered her wings and flew into the air. She fired more than ten crossbow arrows at the knight in black before he could get closer. Unfortunately, her lethality was not strong. The knight in black and the pterosaur had super strong protective capabilities. The crossbow arrows It's impossible to penetrate their bodies at all.
The knight in black who arrived later went straight to the little princess. The weapon in his hand was the same white bone sword as his companion.
The little princess drew a short knife in the air and started fighting with the opponent in the void. Her strength was far inferior to that of the opponent, and although her wings were exquisite, they were artificially made after all. They were different from the wings of the pterosaur itself and were not flexible. She was greatly compromised, and as soon as they fought, there were many dangers. Fortunately, her opponent mainly wanted to capture her alive and did not kill her.
Under the pressure of the black knight, Tang Lie gradually distanced himself from the little princess. The purpose of these two warriors was obvious. They clearly wanted to kidnap the little princess.
After fighting head-on with the knight in black for three consecutive attacks, Tang Lie took a step back. His opponent and the pterosaur cooperated quite tacitly, and each attack cleverly incorporated the forward power of the pterosaur.
Tang Lie roared angrily, and saw that the little princess in the air was already defeated under the attack of the black knight, and he became more and more anxious.
At this moment, a golden light broke through the fog and flew toward the center of the battle.
Although Tang Lie didn't see it clearly, he already felt in his heart that Xiao Bailong had arrived in time.
The knight in black hadn't completely come to his senses yet, but he saw a long golden dragon speeding past him and coming to Tang Lie's side.
