Duan and others looked at each other in surprise, unaware of the arrival of the mysterious man.
The tall body was covered by a tattered cloak, and there was a slender protrusion on the side of the waist, which was probably a long sword.
They looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
But the experienced Duan lowered his voice and said, "I know who he is, the famous Strider."
"Strider?" the down-and-out noble asked in confusion.
"It turns out to be this guy. Rumor has it that he has lived to be eighty or ninety years old. Is it true?" The three sisters asked Du An.
Du An shook his head, pursed his lips and said, "He is like a mystery. All kinds of rumors about him are circulating throughout China, saying that he has left legendary stories in many countries. One of the most dazzling identities is that he just
Duo Zeng, the brave and skilled Star Eagle General."
"I've met him before, about forty years ago. He's a man that I can't describe in words. I believe he is a prince living in the world. Although people laugh at him with words like Big Step Man, that's not the case.
This guy has a really unique aura." An old mercenary recalled.
"His real name is Aragorn." Duan slowly said his name.
All the eyes of the people are focused there.
After being illuminated by the sun and blown by the wild wind, a corner of the black hood was lifted, revealing a calm and mature side face.
Aragorn glanced at Duan and others from the corner of his eye, showing no intention of negotiating with them.
Boom~boom~
There were constant loud noises in the wasteland, and the skeleton flames were like divine punishment falling from the sky, inflicting the sin of burning the bodies of the Dongyi army.
Such a loud and powerful signal was like a naked signal flare, attracting the attention of many figures from all directions.
Not long after, many dragon-slaying expedition groups came to the hillside one after another, lying on the ridge like Duan and others, peeping in horror.
No matter how arrogant and arrogant the person is, he will restrain himself from the bottom of his heart after witnessing the cruelty of that skinny dragon.
No, at least half of them immediately left with their tails between their legs in dejection, unwilling to stay for even half a minute, for fear that Chu Xin would be caught off guard and change the direction of the attack.
As for the remaining half, some were out of curiosity and wanted to watch this rare and shocking battle with their own eyes. The shock of this moment seemed to surpass the fear in their hearts. There were also some who still refused to give up and wanted to sit down because of desire in their hearts.
Harvest the fisherman's profits and become famous all over the world.
Of course, there is one unusual exception.
That is Aragorn.
At this moment, he looked at Chu Xin who was slaughtering the Dongyi people with great interest, thinking deeply in his heart.
This man's identity is not ordinary. He is the last successor to the throne of the former Northern Kingdom Arnor. He is also the most qualified person to sit on the throne of the Kingdom of Gondor today. He is the true leader that all mankind needs most at the moment.
It can also be called—the Human Emperor!
Arnor and Gondor are two human kingdoms founded by one family. The former has perished, and the latter is also crumbling under the maintenance of the prime minister. Because the orc army of Mordor invades all the year round, the land of Gondor has fallen one after another.
One of Aragorn's ancestors was no ordinary person. He cut off Sauron's finger wearing the Supreme Lord of the Rings with a sword, causing his entity in Middle-earth to dissipate and ending the extremely tragic Alliance War. But that ancestor
However, he was bewitched by the Supreme Lord of the Rings and took it as his own. The Lord of the Rings was not destroyed, which gave Sauron a chance to return today.
"Gandalf, it was not in vain that you asked me to go on this trip. Smaug has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes. Although he is still violent, his temperament and personality are completely different from those in the rumors." Aragorn said to himself with a slight frown.
He was originally moving around the Shire, but Gandalf found him in the tavern.
The two have known each other for many years and trust each other very much.
Gandalf talked about Smaug and hoped that Aragorn, who had outstanding ability, could help find out. After hearing about Smaug's resurrection, Aragorn himself was full of interest in it and had long planned to witness it with his own eyes.
No, Aragorn did not break his promise. He traveled through the wasteland alone and killed many Dongyi people and orcs on the way deep into Loen.
As a hexagonal human warrior with full comprehensive strength, although Aragorn does not know magic, he still has a handsome face in his thirties at the age of sixty or seventy, and his physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary adult men.
Because Aragorn is a descendant of the human royal family, with the blood of the Dúnedain flowing in his body, his ancestors are a mixture of humans and elves, and he has received the gift of Valar.
In short, Aragorn's extraordinaryness is destined by fate, and his own strength is indeed worthy of the name.
boom--
Suddenly, the fleeing Dongyi people were blown up by the explosion and flew into the sky.
It wasn't Chu Xin's doing.
The woman playing the flute was surrounded and protected at the front, and the horses almost pulled the wheels out of the sparks.
But her mouth didn't stop. She was covered in cold sweat and her cheeks were swollen while she played sharp and rapid music.
This sound was like a signal, summoning some forbidden creature.
"Ho ho ho~"
The behemoth emerged from the ground without any regard for the life or death of friendly troops.
In the rising smoke screen, a monster half the size of Chu Xin appeared roaring. Judging from the vibration when it landed, its weight clearly exceeded Chu Xin's.
At the same time, a strong and pungent putrid smell filled the air and the earth, as if a swollen corpse had been fished out of the water.
This is a giant creature.
The head of a hedgehog, the torso of a porcupine, the arms of a sloth, the hair of a prairie dog, and the symmetrical pattern of a skunk, with its hairless buttocks and tail.
Under its armpits, there were two tumors gushing fluid, exuding an overwhelming stench.
The tribal woman put down her instrument with admiration and looked up at the ugly and ferocious monster with awe in her eyes, ignoring her companions who were affected by the monster.
"Great Spirit of the Wilderness, please use your powerful power to kill the evil dragon that tramples on Loen." She shouted loudly and piously.
In the distance, the humans eating melons all looked frightened. They had no idea that the Dongyi people had such a skill.
"The spirit of the wilderness, the teeth of the wild mountains, the soul of the open sea, the shadow of the black sky, the legend of Lun is actually true!" Du An said in surprise.
Being focused by pairs of doubtful eyes, he did not sell out, "It's about the four major monsters in Loen. There have been rumors about them from thousands of years ago. Well, they may be very unpopular to most people, but I appreciate them."
As a golden hunter, you know a lot about this kind of thing."
Another bounty hunter who was traveling with him shrugged and said in admiration, "You are really awesome to become the bounty king. I have never even heard of the four monsters."
Duane was right.
According to the records of the Dongyi people, these four so-called Loen monsters were once created by the fallen god Morgoth. He used his evil power to corrode animals into huge and ferocious monsters, and became the Dongyi people's self-proclaimed guardian.
god.
However, after the defeat of Morgoth, the four monsters who lost their source of power were unable to step out of the land of Rune, and some of their strange special abilities also disappeared.
Otherwise, the Dongyi people would have ridden them and flattened the royal city of Gondor.
The musical instrument technique used by the tribal woman who serves as the priest is the evil magic that has survived from ancient times. It can control weak dark creatures to a certain extent and summon the spirit of the wilderness with a certain probability.
Wow!
With the help of the Spirit of the Wilderness, the previously panic-stricken Dongyi army suddenly felt reassured, and smiles appeared on their faces as they were about to get their revenge.
The spirit of the wilderness also immediately stared at the large skeleton hovering above his head, and his upper and lower teeth rubbed together, making a sharp sound full of threats.
Creep~Creak~
The harsh sound continued, and the spirit of the wilderness appeared very irritable and angry. Its dark red eyes were filled with wildness and little sense.
"Guardian of the Wilderness, we have been an indestructible ally with you from ancient times to the present. Although the god has fallen, the respectable Demon King Sauron still continues his will. Under his guidance, we will surely embark on this journey together.
Reach the pinnacle of Middle-earth!"
Seeing that the spirit of the wilderness was afraid of Chu Xin, the priestess immediately shouted into the fire, raising the flag high in her words, actually urging the spirit of the wilderness to fight quickly.
"Roar!"
Hearing Sauron's name, Lin Lin in the Wilderness was full of fighting spirit, as if he had transformed from a company employee who was about to disband after his boss died suddenly to a backbone veteran who brought the company back to life after the boss's son took over.
In the final analysis, although the so-called four monsters of Loen sound very powerful, at that time, they were just monsters created by Morgoth. In terms of status and peak strength, they were not as good as a toe of Sauron.
Whoosh!
Chu Xin had already dived in and attacked fiercely. A pair of hind limbs stretched out with all his might, and his sharp claws as sharp as a knife slashed across the wilderness spirit's back.
Immediately, blood spattered, and the long-lost severe pain made the Wilderness Spirit's blood boil. The joints all over his body immediately made explosive sounds. The next second, there was a super rebound jump without any warning. The powerful limbs and torso cooperated perfectly, and the terrifying right claw pointed upward.
One wave.
The tip of the sharp claw hooked the end of Chu Xin's tail. The huge weight made Chu Xin's flight stall, and he was dragged back by the spirit of the wilderness in the blink of an eye.
Huhu~!
The wind gusts.
Chu Xin was like a big pendulum passing through the air. Fortunately, the joints of his body had been strengthened, making him strong but not yet flexible.
He twisted his neck, and a mouthful of skeleton flames spurted out, burning along the arms of the Wild Spirit.
Because the body surface is covered with lush hair, the fire is unstoppable once it forms, like a flood from a dam breaking and rushing towards the arms and arms.
The spirit of the wilderness turned pale with fright, eagerly let go and blew in a big breath.
From this we can see that this thing has limited IQ.
Boom boom!
The wind helped the fire, and the skeleton flame became more and more powerful, blessing it with the legendary flaming unicorn arm.
Chu Xin took advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy and advanced instead of retreating.
Using the posture of a prostrate horse, he pushed down the spirit of the wilderness who was eager to put out the fire, pressed his whole body down, and exploded the fine and sharp bone scales at the same time.
Then, give it intense high-speed friction!
Puff~Puff~Puff~
The sound of viscous liquid came from between the two giant beasts.
It turned out that many bone scales had pierced the skin and flesh, bringing out a lot of blood as they continued to penetrate.
Tsk!
Chu Xin's forelimbs were aimed at the chest of the wilderness spirit, tearing it open and disemboweling, and a long tail turned into a whip full of thorns, tightly entangled in the waist and hips of the wilderness spirit, making it difficult for it to break free and get up.
Facing his all-round hands, the spirit of the wilderness had no choice but to howl in shock and anger.
This scene stunned all the audience.
Even the well-informed Aragorn couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "Are all dragons fighting like this?"
Savage, bloody, violent, primitive, cruel, leaving no room for anything, it makes people feel cold from the bottom of their bones.
puff--
While everyone was stunned, Chu Xin's sharp claws pierced the abdomen of the Wilderness Spirit.
And its claws tried to fight back, but the collision was ineffective. It was mainly damaged by bones, and there was no way to be injured unless it relied on brute force to dismantle the frame.
There was another deafening muffled sound.
The spirit of the wilderness shuddered from bottom to top, and suddenly became weak.
Chu Xin's long tail penetrated into its torn belly at some point and turned upside down inside.
But he is not satisfied with this. How can he give up until his enemy is dead?
The long tail goes straight deep until the tip of the tail breaks out of the wilderness spirit's throat, with a huge beating heart hanging on it.
"Roar--"
Chu Xin roared on his prey, and his seemingly scrawled wings looked like devil's wings.
From the beginning to the end, the spirit of the wilderness was like a large sandbag, allowing Chu Xin to ravage it in every possible way, and finally died tragically under its crotch.
"How could this happen~" the priestess murmured to herself in a difficult voice.
She had thought that the Spirit of the Wilderness would be defeated by Chu Xin, but she had never foreseen the absurd situation.
One of the four great monsters of Loen died so shamelessly!
At this moment, she had no choice but to give up her escape and stood there blankly.
She was like a rock among the panicked crowd, staring at Chu Xin angrily with her eyes, opening and closing her lips quickly, and uttering self-comforting curses at Chu Xin.
"I sacrificed my flesh and blood to make it shatter into pieces and never be able to regenerate..."
If the target was an ordinary human being, she might be able to succeed, but if she tried to curse the dragon with a mortal body, she was really out of her mind.
A large amount of nosebleed was seen flowing out of the priestess's nasal cavity, and her slender body was trembling.
Bang!
Before her curse could be completed, Chu Xin stepped on it without any shame and crushed it to pieces.
Then the flames rolled in and the final finishing touches were done.
At this point, the victory or defeat of this wilderness battle involving mountains of corpses and seas of blood was declared.
The people of the Dragon Slaying Group also quietly left the scene.
Crusade?
Damn it!
However, Chu Xin, who turned around and flew in, left them terrified, and they all ran away rolling and crawling on the hillside.
Phew~
Soon, huge shadows crawled on the uneven slope, covering the pale and rough faces.
"We are finished." Duan said desperately.
The rest of them pulled out their weapons weakly, as if to prevent their death from being so useless.
However, a figure walked upstream and walked out with a high head, attracting countless eyes.
Aragorn took off his hood, raised his masculine cheeks, and looked calm with a hint of polite respect.
Sure enough, Chu Xin noticed him on the spot and looked at him.
What surprised Chu Xin was that the future Human Emperor did not flinch, his eyes were calm, his breathing was steady, and he seemed to have an invincible army behind him.
"The thirty-ninth generation grandson of Isildur, the sixteenth chief of the Dúnedain, the only royal bloodline in the Kingdom of Gondor, and the ranger Aragorn from the north." Chu Xin said in a condescending tone, his tone
Like a high and mighty lord.
After hearing this, the calm Aragorn finally turned his face, but still suppressed his shock and said, "Your Excellency Smaug actually knows about me?"
Chu Xin did not fall hastily and was on guard against the man beneath him. After all, in the movie, Aragorn was flawless. Whether it was combat power, wisdom, or reliability, he was among the best, almost second only to Gandalf.
"As one of the keys to change in Middle-earth, your name has long been spread among many people. Your life is destined to be extraordinary." Chu Xin replied.
Aragorn raised his eyebrows, "I don't object to my reputation, but it's flattering to say that I am the key to change in Middle-earth. But what surprises me the most is that the legendary unreasonable fire dragon Smaug can actually kill
The Orcs and Dongyi were friendly forces and disobeyed Sauron's orders."
He realized that Chu Xin might be an ally, and the enemy of his enemy was his friend. If this powerful skeletal dragon could fight against the dark forces together, it would undoubtedly be like divine help.
While Aragorn has outstanding courage, he is also an out-and-out activist.
After having this idea, he immediately followed suit and boldly negotiated with Chu Xin.
In addition to being bold, he is also thoughtful.
Three meters behind where he was standing was a cliff with a large dark hole on the inside of the edge.
Aragorn had determined when he arrived that it was extremely deep inside and could lead to distant exits. It was most likely an escape tunnel built by the Dongyi people.
Once Chu Xin shows hostility and murderous intent, Aragorn will jump into it without hesitation, go deep into the cave along the slope, and then escape.
Therefore, he is not a brainless and reckless person.
"The Smaug who was once is dead, and the humiliation of the past is history. The Orcs and the Dongyi people are not my friends, and Sauron, who tried to take me under his feet, is even less qualified. My resurrection represents the will of Middle-earth.
The darkness will eventually fade away, and a new era must also begin." Chu Xin said nonsense seriously.
Aragorn marveled in his heart, is this still the cruel and arrogant Smaug?
This conversation, this wording, and this temperament and momentum, is it really like the rumors say that Smaug's body was occupied by another soul?
Although this kind of thing is outrageous, it is actually acceptable in China, which is full of mystery.
Not only him, but also Du An and others felt something was wrong and very disharmonious.
Although this is a good thing, it still feels very strange, as if a savage who drank hair and drank blood suddenly became the inheritor of the moral principles of Confucius and Mencius.
Especially the Smaug in front of him was just a skeleton!
"From now on, I will no longer be the Smaug I once was, I will be a new person." Chu Xin said while the iron was hot.
Aragorn muttered secretly, still unable to figure out the meaning behind these words.
He paused and said, "Lord Smaug, you and Sauron are already at odds. What are your next plans? Maybe I can give you a small amount of help."
Chu Xin, who didn't answer, looked around, "Are they all your people?"
For a moment, Du An and others all looked at Aragorn with pleading eyes. If possible, they would have blurted out a cordial and enthusiastic "Dad".
Aragorn curled his lips and smiled faintly, "It can be."
This answer is quite ambiguous~
No, after hearing Aragorn's words, Du An and the others stooped down and bowed to Chu Xin, and a lifetime of words of praise poured out of their mouths.
Humans are indeed a species with flexible bottom lines.
"Drop your weapons and get out of my sight." Chu Xin said majestically.
In an instant, the crisp sound of metal hitting rock echoed throughout the world. Everyone threw away their swords in a hurry and ran to the west without looking back. Soon, only Aragorn was left standing.
"Less than one tenth of them can make it back alive." Aragorn looked at them calmly.
The reason is simple. For an undefended guy to travel a long distance safely in the territory of the Oaks and Dongyi people, it is simply a fantasy. Moreover, all the Dongyi tribes have been extremely angry at Chu Xin, and they have no place to vent their worries.
"This is the price of arrogance and greed. Now that they are here, they are already prepared to die." Chu Xin said.
Aragorn knew very well that even if the dragon in front of him had changed, it did not mean that it had become truthful, good and beautiful.
"You are different from them, what do you want from me?" Chu Xin looked down at Aragorn.
"One thing is sure," Aragorn said with a smile, "it depends on whether you are an enemy or a friend."
Chu Xin was happy, he liked this honest and magnanimous man.
"What's your answer?" Chu Xin asked.
"It's worth making friends with, after all, you are not the Smaug that the world knows, but a new life and a new face that we don't know," Aragorn replied, and reminded enthusiastically, "In addition, the big guy you killed was named the Wild Spirit, like it
There are three more such dark monsters..."
Whoosh!
A few minutes later, Chu Xin fluttered his wings and took off, hovering high in the sky.
"The world is crumbling and the catastrophe has begun. My goal? Of course it is the core of this chess game."
He left such a riddle and headed west.
"Core?" Aragorn was confused.
Unable to think clearly, he shook his head and started to return.
Although this trip was difficult and there was no tangible gain, Aragorn was very happy because he had established a relationship with Chu Xin, gained some goodwill, and confirmed the hostility between Chu Xin and Sauron.
On the other side, Chu Xin was soaring in the gray sky of Loen, with a prototype of a plan in his mind.
At this time, the card text appeared:
"Flexibly using physical advantages and various skills to suppress a series of unexpected changes shows the basic skills of a senior time traveler;
Proficiency 10%, reaching 25%;
The number of gashapon draws is 1, currently there are 3 times;
Earn rewards:
[Skeleton Slash] (Use both feet or claws to release invisible long and narrow air slashes. The farther away, the power gradually decreases, up to 300 meters, suitable for medium and close combat)."
Whoosh!
Bang!
Chu Xin lowered his flying altitude and kicked out from the air. With the sharp sound of the air being compressed, a 40- to 50-meter-long ravine was carved out on the top of the mountain more than 200 meters away, exposing a five-meter-deep soil layer.
.
"That's good, that's good. If you put it in Middle-earth with a low magic level, it's enough to kill people. The group of Valar in Aman probably won't interfere."
Then, Chu Xin turned on the gashapon machine again.
Click!
A gashapon rolls out, and when opened, a card with a special pattern will fly out.
Chu Xin recognized it. It was most likely some kind of enhanced card.
The light effect dissipated, and a few words were revealed: [Smaug the Skeleton Dragon·Any Part Mutation Card] (You can choose any body part for enhanced mutation, defense, attack, etc. are completely random)
It's time to use your brain again.
Chu Xin began to analyze his skinny and delicate body, thinking about the pros and cons.
After some thought, he realized that he lacked powerful physical attack methods.
So, he chose the tail.
Buzz~
The card melted into a flash of light, wrapping the end of the long tail.
There was only a sonorous sound of bones breaking and reorganizing, and the enhanced mutation ended in a few seconds.
"Tailbone Blade (the end changes into a sharp and slender white bone blade, which can be used to chop and stab, and its hardness is equivalent to that of a joint)"
Buzz!
It is as warm and moist as jade, and under the sunlight, it sparkles like lake water, as if jade liquid is flowing inside.
Chu Xin flicked it gently, and the tail blade effortlessly cut a huge boulder in half, the cut surface was extremely smooth.
Ceng Ceng Ceng ~
Moreover, the joint connecting the tailbone blade and the tail is very special. The former is embedded in it like a model, so it has the super performance of rotating and twisting at any angle of 360 degrees, which can give the enemy an unexpected attack path.
Chu Xin was quite satisfied with this, but he wasn't too surprised. After all, many of the card characters in the card pack had similar body mutations, so there was nothing new about it.
…
Mordor.
This evil land is located in the southeast of Middle-earth, east of the Anduin River, between the Ash Mountains and the Shadow Mountains.
In the first era, the land of Mordor was still a vast inland sea. Later, Morgoth fell and rebelled, and an extremely tragic and angry war broke out in Middle-earth with the Valar. The battle of the gods changed the landscape of Middle-earth beyond recognition, and Mordor also
From inland sea to land.
Under the volcano called Doomsday Mountain, there are black and red plains and mountains, which are dead and silent as far as the eye can see, without any green vegetation.
A tall tower stood on the dark land, with a huge dark red eye floating at the top, constantly scanning all directions like a high-power searchlight.
This is the Eye of Sauron, and it is also the entity that Sauron has transformed into in Middle-earth.
Now he only has one eye, which shows his lack of power. This is the reason why he urgently needs the Supreme Lord of the Rings.
He is even more afraid that the Supreme Ring will be thrown into the Mount Doom behind him, because only this volcano can destroy the Supreme Ring. Once the Ring is destroyed, Sauron will not only physically collapse, but his spiritual body will also be forced to return to Aman and accept the
The Trial of Manwë, King of the Valar.
In the distance below the Evil Black Tower are a series of buildings.
Countless Orcs shuttled back and forth, busy building weapons, training soldiers and other preparations for war.
In addition to Oaks, there are also evil barbarians among humans, trolls who are afraid of the sun, and trolls who serve as special soldiers...
An Orc scout rode a warg to the bottom of the Eye of Sauron.
After jumping down, he knelt down smoothly on his knees and said respectfully, "Demon Lord, Loen sent back a message!"
Naturally, an eyeball cannot speak, but Sauron naturally has a way to convey his will.
Da da da~
A foal-like creature approaches from under the tower.
It is more than twice as big as an ordinary war horse, and its surface is covered with long black hair. Its head is covered by a pair of armor, but looking from the hole in the mouth and nose, it is a skinny skull head, with eye sockets and
Wisps of fire burst out of his nostrils from time to time.
On its back was a terrifying knight.
He is tall and has a broad back. He wears a black robe hanging down from his feet, and his chest and arms are covered with exquisite light armor.
Wearing a strange helmet on his head, only his mouth and chin are exposed.
And this mouth is particularly sick and deformed.
There are no upper and lower lips, and the entire edge seems to have been cut off by a knife blade, and then tightly bound with a metal ring, exposing the upper and lower rows of yellowed teeth and disgusting gums.
This is not some kind of monster, but a black Númenórean who surrendered to Sauron.
He is Sauron's lieutenant, named the Mouth of Sauron, and is responsible for conveying Sauron's orders.
"explain."
The Oak scout pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment and then said, "The operation to encircle and suppress Smaug failed. The Black Forest tribe was completely wiped out. All the sandworms and trolls we sent there were also killed. Even the Wild Spirit of Loen was killed.
Already."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as these words came out, Sauron's mouth immediately distorted his face and made strange sounds and low roars, as if connected to the evil ghost on the other end.
Obviously, he felt the anger of Sauron, and felt the anger in his heart.
"A mere corpse dares to disobey the Lord's order. The crime is unforgivable! Hiss~~Is this~~"
The Mouth of Sauron straightened his back, "The Demon Lord ordered that the execution of the traitor Smaug be temporarily suspended. We only need to firmly grasp its movements. Currently, we will focus all our energy on preparing the army and finding the Lord of the Rings. But don't
Forget the shame Smaug brought to us, he is destined to be crushed by us, then scattered into Mount Doom and burned to ashes!"
"Ho ho ho!"
Suddenly, the dark people in the Evil Black Tower area raised their arms and shouted.
Sauron's Eyes looked toward the northeast fiercely, with endless killing intent. It was obvious that Chu Xin had been on Sauron's must-kill list.
…
The next day.
Chu Xin looked down at the sea below him and was stunned for two seconds before he realized that he had not crossed the Middle-Earth, but had arrived at the famous Inland Sea of Loen.
This is actually an extremely wide inland lake.
This also means that he is about to leave the realm of Loen and enter the Great Wilderness of Rovanian.
The surface of the lake is so tranquil that it lies on the vast land, against the backdrop of the distant snow-capped mountains and the bright sunshine, like a bright gem left by the gods.
In the wilderness near the lake, there is a herd of strong bison.
They all have a pair of huge white horns on their heads, paired with powerful muscles, and they look like loyal and generous holy warriors.
They are called Aravu bison. They are an extremely rare and precious group. Legend has it that they are the descendants of the cattle of Oromi, the hunting god.
This scene was so beautiful that even Chu Xin couldn't help but feel moved and planned to rest here for a while.
Whoosh!
Chu Xin lowered his height, and the strong wind whipped up by his wings made the lake surface panic, and the layers of waves suddenly glowed with a magnificent brilliance.
A huge monster descended, and the buffalo herds "moo moo" fled into the distance.
They should be glad that Chu Xin is a skeleton and has no worldly desires, otherwise he would have to taste the best steak.
"I have seen a lot of different scenery in my life. How many worlds have I traveled through?"
Chu Xin was rarely at ease, lying comfortably on the soft grass, his tail gently tapping the lake surface, splashing clusters of clear fountains.
I keep fighting and running around, sometimes I don’t know what I am busy with, so occasionally I need the tranquility at this moment, so that my impetuous heart and spirit can be soothed, and I can let everything I see, hear and touch
I want to settle down and achieve true steady wave balance.
In a word, when it's time to rest, practice and don't overwhelm yourself.
As Chu Xin restrained his breath, the fire in his eyes became weak, turning into mountains of lifeless bones. The fleeing buffalo herd cautiously returned to the lakeside, only lowering their heads to drink water and raising their eyebrows for a glance.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the breeze blew by.
The day has gone and the night has come.
When Chu Xin raised his head, the night was already covered with shining stars, and a bright full moon hung high in the center, covering the inner sea of Loen with a gentle veil.
Suddenly, an increasingly dense gray mist rose from the originally calm lake surface.
Gradually, it gathered into a strange painting style and spread towards the land.
"Moo~~"
Seeing this, the resident bison woke up from their sleep one after another and quickly left the shore in fear.
Chu Xin naturally knew everything and stared at the lake calmly.
However, he didn't know that tentacle-like shadows were stretching out from the water, swimming silently on the shore, and quickly approaching Chu Xin's hind limbs.
"Um?!"
Chu Xin was alert.
He flapped his wings, leaped, and looked back at the same time within a second.
Unfortunately, the shadow was as fast as thunder and lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it was like countless ropes binding Chu Xin's two thigh bones, and then there was a brutal force pulling down.
The gray mist also surged as if it was conscious, like a huge mouth trying to swallow up Chu Xin.
Bang bang!
Chu Xin was pulled down as soon as he took off and hit the intersection of land and water, causing a large amount of mud.
The next second, more shadow tentacles swept out of the fog and clung to Chu Xin's body.
Whoosh!
The long tail swung, and the tailbone blade easily cut off the shadow tentacles wrapped around the thigh.
Phew~puff~
But these tentacles are very strange. There is no feedback from flesh and blood, and it is more like a subtle touch on foam.
Chu Xin was a little unsure, so he exploded the bone scales all over his body, and then rolled to death.
Puff puff puff~
A large number of tentacles were broken, and without waiting for more attacks, Chu Xin flew up into the air with all his strength, spitting out a mouthful of skeleton flames.
The flames dispersed the gray mist, burned out the tentacles, exposed the surface of the lake, and exposed the culprit to view.
This is a toad-like creature that is as big as a large truck.
However, the size doesn't matter at all, because this monster has more terrifying characteristics.
The toad is just a physical frame.
On the surface of the smooth skin, there are densely raised sarcomas, and in the middle of each sarcoma, there are heads of humans, elves or Orcs.
All the faces were glaring with anger, as if they were fighting fiercely before they died, and their mouths that were torn to the base of their ears kept spraying gray mist.
At the end of the Second Age, the coalition forces attacked Mordor. Both sides were extremely brutal, and the number of casualties was difficult to estimate.
Apparently, those corpses and souls sank into the inner sea of Loen and were absorbed and fused by this monster.
Dozens of vague tentacles are also extending from the monster's big mouth. Its texture is somewhere between real thing and fantasy, more like the materialized product of an innocent soul.
"It turns out that it is the Soul of the Kuanghai, one of the four monsters of Loen." Chu Xin reacted immediately.
It feeds on corpses and souls, and has been hiding at the bottom of the lake all year round. After the defeat of Morgoth, it has not surfaced for thousands of years.
As for why he reappeared today, it was probably because Chu Xin killed the spirit of the wilderness. This undoubtedly offended the dignity of the four monsters and broke their inner security defenses.
Whoosh whoosh!
More tentacles flew into the air from Kuanghai Soul's mouth, and their length seemed to be endless. They had chased Chu Xin for more than a thousand meters, forming a chrysanthemum-shaped dragnet from a distance.
If the spirit of the wilderness is a burrowing warrior, this ugly thing is an out-and-out evil mage. The key is that it is disgusting.
Chu Xin, who seemed passive, fired a carbine, fell and rose like a falling leaf, and flicked his long tail with all his strength.
puff--
Most of the tentacles that were chasing after him were cut off neatly.
Then, Chu Xin dived quickly.
The soul of the open sea showed what it means to be cautious. When the distance between the two sides was still five or six hundred meters, it shrank into the water and covered its body.
Chu Xin was not used to it, so he showed it what it meant to be fierce and cruel, and he drove straight away from the lake and plunged into it.
“Qua~~~”
The soul of Kuanghai crawling at the bottom of the lake was so frightened that his face turned pale.
It can be seen from this that its weakness is its main body. It is estimated that its defense power is almost zero, otherwise it would not be so embarrassed.
The soul of Kuanghai retracted all its tentacles. As soon as it closed its mouth, its cheeks swelled up in the blink of an eye, and then it shot out a whole tentacle wrapped in a spiral like spitting.
Chu Xin repeated his old trick and tried to chop it off with his tail bone blade.
However, the underwater resistance was huge, the speed of the long tail was affected, and the spiral tentacles hit the center of his sternum first.
Boom boom~wow!
The tentacles pushed Chu Xin through the water surface, sending him high into the sky, side by side with Yunwu.
At this time, Chu Xin noticed with surprise.
The sun has obviously risen in the sky, but why is the sky still dark?
It doesn't look like it's going to rain either.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
"hiss--"
A shrill cry exploded behind him.
Chu Xin didn't care, he turned around and greeted him with a mouthful of Bone Flame.
Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of an overwhelming black shadow!
To his surprise, the black shadows suddenly scattered and split when the skeleton flames approached, and then reunited after avoiding the skeleton flames.
"Bat? No, the individual ones seem to be smaller." Chu Xin took a closer look and was immediately disgusted, "Your uncle's is actually a flying cockroach!"
They were so densely packed that the bone scales all over the body were numb. Each one was the size of an adult's fist, and its pair of wings were even tougher and thicker. When they flapped, they made a violent sound of airflow, as if they were equipped with powerful motors.
Without thinking at all, he guessed the identity of the visitor: the shadow of Krishna, one of the four monsters.
Buzz buzz!
In an instant, there was only the roar of high-speed vibrating wings between the sky and the earth, and a stench filled the air, causing the bison who were hiding in the distance to vomit and have diarrhea, and fell to the ground one after another, twitching.
Fortunately, as an undead creature, Chu Xin has no fear of such harm.
The shadow of Heitian quickly approached, dispersed and surrounded Chu Xin, and continuously reduced the scope.
The sharp mouthparts of the cockroaches are opening and closing impatiently, secreting dark yellow saliva, and they can't wait to eat up the Chucai.
This picture is enough to give any human being a nightmare, and Chu Xin felt uncomfortable in his soul just looking at it.
"To deal with bugs, you should use fire!"
Chu Xin did not retreat but advanced, bravely and fearlessly running into the embrace of the shadow of Black Sky.
The killing begins.
boom--
The skeleton fire was like a flash flood, sweeping across the sky unstoppably.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Like fried beans, countless cockroaches were scorched and exploded, and black ashes rained down.
The burning continued for half a minute, but the number of black sky shadows was still frightening. At least Chu Xin had been wrapped in three layers inside and three outside, and no gaps could be seen.
This situation made Chu Xin recall the memory of Storm Red being wrapped by the Kaiju Beast.
There is no fear in my heart, only the will to fight!
Boom boom!
If the enemy is ruthless, he will be more ruthless than the enemy.
The raging skeleton flames were endless, and Chu Xin was completely pursuing the goal of draining himself dry.
Slowly, the momentum of Black Sky Shadow became more and more decadent.
These cockroaches were not as vicious as they were at first, and their eyes showed fear and retreat.
"hiss--"
They neighed in unison, conveying a certain meaning to the soul of the open sea.
Sure enough, a hole opened underneath the Black Sky Shadow, and more than a dozen tentacles got in, trying to bind Chu Xin.
How could the slick Chu Xin fall into the trap? He rushed towards the opening and broke out of the siege of Black Sky's Shadow in one fell swoop.
"Quack!"
The soul of Kuanghai emerged from the lake with only half of its head exposed, and a pair of big eyes looked at Chu Xin in fear as he saw the light of day again.
As it swarmed down, it was about to betray its teammates and run away alone.
Chu Xin was more than two hundred meters away from it, and the long tail could not reach it. It seemed that he could only watch it escape from the palm of his hand. This was also the reason why Kuanghai Soul was lucky.
Before it retracted underwater, it did not forget to give Chu Xin a proud look.
Chu Xin looked down at it coldly and waved a claw towards the void.
Buzz——
Invisible skeletal slashes spilled out from the claw blades, condensing into air blades that swept across the lake.
Bang!
A long and narrow ravine was outlined in the water.
After a few seconds, the thick red-green blood spread, and the body of Kuanghai Soul, which had been split into two, floated up with the waves.
The body is really brittle, like paper and breaks when touched.
Buzz~
Whether it was blood or bones, they were slowly dissolving into gray mist, and eventually no trace was left behind, and the lake water returned to clarity.
The shadow of Black Sky high in the sky was dull.
It never expected that just a trivial mistake would cause the Soul of the Wild Sea to follow in the footsteps of the Spirit of the Wilderness.
The strong desire to survive broke out, and the shadows of Heitian did not care whether Chu Xin was dead or alive. They gathered together without saying a word and flew into the depths of the inner sea of Loen in the shape of a black mist.
call!
Chu Xin followed closely behind and kept shortening the distance.
The two sides just moved in tandem, with no intention of slowing down.
From day to night.
It was dawn again on the second day.
Rumble~
A loud noise like the roar of a giant beast came from below.
Chu Xin looked down and saw that he had reached the northwest boundary of the Loen Inland Sea.
The loud noise was the sound of the river flowing into the sea, forming a waterfall.
The scene is very spectacular, very similar to the Niagara Falls on Earth, but the scale is dozens or hundreds of times. The drop one after another causes the waterfall to seem to fall into the abyss, and then flow into the inland sea with the waves, and finally calm down.
On the side of the estuary, there is land with lush vegetation, and undulating mountains extending into the distance.
A prosperous and beautiful city stands on the shore.
The wine-producing city-state of Dovinion, where humans and elves live together, is ruled by elves.
At this moment, the residents in the city had already noticed something strange above their heads.
They all looked up and looked up. When they saw two terrifying giants chasing each other, they all felt fear in their hearts. Then they picked up their weapons and opened the city defenses that had not been used for many years.
On the castle spire, a man and a woman watched.
"That's the skeletal dragon Smaug!" the elf lord of the city-state said in astonishment, "What is it chasing?"
As he spoke, the lord frowned, turned around and took out an old ancient book from the study. After flipping through it, he was astonished.
"The Shadow of Black Sky, one of the legendary Loen monsters, is the demon who rules the sky. He once massacred an entire human city in the blink of an eye." The female elf on the side read the words on the book in a low voice.
"That is an out-and-out slave of darkness, but I don't understand why Smaug would chase it?" The lord stared at the sky nervously, fearing that they would accidentally fall into the city.
But things went counterproductive, and the exhausted Black Sky Shadow was in urgent need of energy replenishment.
And the many fresh flesh and blood in the city is undoubtedly the energy it needs most.
Therefore, under the gaze of pairs of horrified eyes, it turned into a big black cloth and shrouded it. It was so vast that it almost occupied one-third of the area of Dovinion.
Whizzing!
Each feather arrow flew into the air, but the moment it touched, it was eaten clean.
Only stones burning with flames had obvious effects, but in a short period of time, the elves were not prepared at all.
"ah--"
Soon, the soldiers at the front were swallowed up by the shadow of the black sky. After passing by, not even a bone was left.
"Everyone retreat underground!" The lord personally went into battle and organized the people to take refuge.
Buzz buzz!
But Black Sky's Shadow was faster and was about to cover thousands of people including the lord.
boom--
In the lord's almost desperate gaze, the skeleton flames were like the fire of salvation, driving away death and destruction.
Black Sky's Shadow was obsessed with preying and ignored Chu Xin behind him, so Chu Xin seized the opportunity and took several mouthfuls of Bone Flame, burning three-quarters of the flying cockroaches to death on the spot.
"Hissssss~"
After a useless struggle, the few individuals were burnt to ashes by Chu Xin.
