Chapter 442 [Twisted History? 】
Shane nodded, glanced over everyone, and finally stayed on Eris.
"Elder Eris, how are you injured? Can you continue to fight?"
Eris slowly stood up, although the scars on his body were still shocking, but his eyes were still firm.
"Sir Xia En, I can still fight."
"With the recovery ability of the tree man, I will be able to return to my full state soon."
Xia En nodded slightly, and admired the tenacity of the tree man elder.
"Okay, then we will act immediately."
"Fiya, Xiange, Jian, you will take the soldiers of the [Yongyue Clan] back to [Rhine City] first to assist in the arrangement of the city defense.
"Joey, you, Carles, Ann and I go deep into the forest to explore the movements of the [Ancient Spirits]."
After Xiange transformed, the goal was too big and was not suitable for combat in the forest.
With simple wisdom, we can manage all matters in [Rhine City].
Xia En was very relieved to hand over the city defense mission to her.
"Yes, Captain Shane."
Feiya nodded and then quickly left with the soldiers of the [Yongyue Clan].
"Captain Shane, are we really going deep into the forest?"
"The strength of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] cannot be underestimated, and they have a strong control over the forest, so we may be in danger."
Joey said with some concern.
Xia En's eyes were firm and his tone was calm: "It is precisely because the [Ancient Spirit Clan] has a strong control over the forest that we must take the initiative."
"Passive defense will only put us in a bigger dilemma."
"Only by understanding the enemy's movements and weakening the enemy's strength as soon as possible can we gain the lead in the next battle."
Joey nodded, and although she still had concerns, her trust in Xiaen made her choose to follow.
"Let's go, we don't have much time left."
After Xia En finished speaking, he took the lead in walking towards the depths of the forest.
Everyone followed closely behind, and their figures quickly disappeared into the dense woods.
...
...
Deep in the forest, the light gradually became dim.
Tall trees cover the sky and the sun, and the air is filled with a strong natural secret force.
Xia En could feel that this forest seemed to have its own consciousness, as if... every tree and every leaf were watching them.
This feeling is actually very strange.
Especially when Shane is the [Lord of Rhine].
It should have been welcomed by the [Rhine Secret Realm], but at this time it was targeted by this forest.
This contradictory feeling of being both close and repulsive is quite strange.
Shane and his group continued to walk through the forest, with the trees around them getting denser and the light getting darker.
A depressing aura spread around.
It seemed as if the entire forest was putting invisible pressure on them.
"Captain Shane, the concentration of natural secret power here is too high, and I feel that breathing is a bit difficult."
Joey whispered, her forehead already oozing fine beads of sweat.
Among the group, An was in the best condition.
As an elf close to nature, such a high concentration of natural breath will be of great benefit to her.
"This forest is resisting us."
Xia En whispered, "Be careful, stay alert."
At this moment, a slight sound came from the woods ahead.
Xia En immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
His [Pupil of Secrets] quickly opened, his eyes piercing through layers of trees, locking in the source of the sound.
I saw that in the jungle not far away, there was an area that looked like a [Ancient Spiritual Clan] camp.
Several figures suspected to be [Ancient Spiritual Clan] were walking through it.
The campsite is surrounded by tall trees and vines, as if it is integrated with the forest.
If Xia En's [Spying the Secret Eye] could penetrate the disguise of natural secret power, it would be difficult for them to discover it here.
In the middle of the camp stands a huge altar.
The altar is engraved with complex runes, exuding a strong natural secret power.
Around the altar, dozens of giant apes composed of natural secret forces were sleeping.
Their bodies fluctuate slightly with the rhythm of the altar, as if they are absorbing the power of the altar.
Shane noticed that the auras of these giant apes were closely connected to the altar.
Obviously, the [Ancient Spirits] are using the power of the altar to create these war weapons.
"These giant apes... were actually made through an altar?"
Joey whispered, a flash of shock in his eyes.
This means that the [Ancient Spirit Clan] has the ability to mass produce this giant ape.
Although not all giant apes have legendary strength.
However, when such war weapons appear on the battlefield, they will undoubtedly cause great casualties to the soldiers of [Rhine City].
And I'm afraid...
There is far more than this altar in the forest!
This is the meaning of the dead [Ancient Spirit Clan] saying "the army is already gathering."
Carles asked in a low voice: "Captain Shane, do you want to destroy the altar directly?"
"If the [Ancient Spirit Clan] continues to create these giant apes, we will be under greater pressure."
Xia En frowned, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
Directly destroying the altar can certainly weaken the power of the [Ancient Spirit Clan], but it may also alarm the snake and expose their whereabouts.
More importantly.
They know too little about the altar and act rashly may lead to unpredictable consequences.
Just as Xia En hesitated.
The goblin Tracy flew up from Ann's shoulder and said softly.
"Let me go!"
"I am a fairy, and I am similar to the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. They may not regard me as an enemy."
"I can sneak into the camp and find out more information."
Xia En looked at Tracy, a little concern flashed in her eyes.
"This is too dangerous."
"[Ancient Spirit Clan]'s attitude towards the fairy is not clear yet. If you reveal it..."
Cuixi waved her wings and said confidently, "Don't worry."
"Don't look at me like this, I have my own way of saving my life."
"And I think they probably wouldn't have thought that I would be a scout sent by [Rhine City]."
An also nodded and said softly.
"Captain Shane, let Trixi try it."
"Her abilities are indeed suitable for this kind of task."
Xia En pondered for a moment, finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, Cuisine, you should be careful."
"If there is any danger, send a signal immediately and I will go and save you."
Cuixi smiled slightly, then turned into a glimmer of light, and flew silently to the camp of the [Ancient Spirit Clan].
Xia En and others hid in the bushes outside the camp, watching Tracy's actions nervously.
Not long.
Everyone saw Tracy contacting a [Ancient Spiritual Clan].
The [Ancient Spirit Clan] was obviously surprised by the appearance of this similar creature.
But he did not immediately show hostility, but instead looked at Tracy with a vigilant and curious look.
The [Ancient Spirit Clan] asked in confusion, "Who are you? Why did you appear here?"
Cui Xi pointed and stroked her fingers and used her body movements to express her meaning.
"You mean... you are a fairy from afar, lost in this forest." "Seeing our camp, wanting to ask for help?"
Tracy nodded heavily.
[Ancient Spirit Clan] frowned, obviously having some doubts about Cui Xi's statement.
But Cuixi's appearance and aura are indeed very similar to the [Ancient Spirit Clan].
This prevented him from taking hostile actions immediately.
[Ancient Spiritual Clan] Continue to ask: "Where did you come from? Why are you lost here?"
Cuixi pretended to be calm, pointed to the far horizon, and then showed a crying and sad expression.
[Ancient Spirit Clan] After a moment of silence, it seemed to be weighing whether Tracy's performance was credible.
Finally, he nodded, "Okay, you can stay in the camp for the time being, but don't walk around."
"We need to confirm your identity."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Cui Qian was delighted, but nodded quietly on the surface and made a gesture of gratitude.
She successfully got into the camp of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.
The [Ancient Spirits] in the camp were busy, as if preparing for the upcoming war.
Tracy noticed that the number of giant apes around the altar was gradually increasing.
It's obvious.
[Ancient Spirits] are accelerating the manufacturing of these war weapons.
at the same time.
Cuixi also heard the conversation between the [Ancient Spirit Clan].
"The king said that our army will be assembled in a few days."
"At that time, the cities of those invaders can be destroyed in one fell swoop."
Another [Ancient Spirit Clan] responded.
"Yes, they invaded our homes and destroyed our forests, and it's time for them to pay."
"There are also those elves who took our home. We must let them pay their blood debts!"
At this time, the [Ancient Spiritual Clan] boy who first met Cui Qian asked.
"Elf clan, what kind of creature is that?"
The older [Ancient Spirit Clan] replied: "That is a guy who looks similar to ours, but is extremely cruel."
"They have sinister and cunning personalities, and advocate killing and violence, but they like to embellish themselves with closeness to nature."
"Our ancestors were forced to come to this world because of their slaughter and expulsion."
"Child, you have to remember that this is the blood feud of our generations!"
"Only with blood can you wash it!"
[Ancient Spirit Clan] Although the young man was still a little puzzled, he still focused on it and said, "Yes!"
On the side, Cuixi was surprised when she heard these words.
[Ancient Spiritual Clan] The elves described are completely different from the elves she recognizes, and they are like two species!
She had never heard of the elves having such a brutal history, let alone slaughtering and expelling the [Ancient Spirits].
In her perception, the elves have always been a race that is close to nature and advocates peace. How could they have formed such a deep hatred with the [Ancient Spiritual Clan]?
She realized that there must be some misunderstanding in this.
Or... somebody deliberately distorted history?
If so.
It is not difficult to understand the malice of [Ancient Spirits] towards [Rhine City] and the elves.
At this time, the older [Ancient Spirit Clan] said again.
"By the way, the reserves of [Holy Stone] have almost used up."
"Hamar, please send someone to send another batch."
"Yes!"
One of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] nodded and immediately left the camp.
"【Holy Stone】?"
Tracy's eyes opened slightly and looked at the altars.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that the stones placed near the altar were exactly [Rhinestone]!
And these [rhinites] are obviously the secret source of the altar to create giant apes.
It is not difficult to hear from the words of the elders of the [Ancient Spirit Clan].
[Ancient Spirits] obviously also have their own [rhinite] mining areas, and are mining and using these [rhinites] in large quantities to create war weapons.
So.
What the elves need is the high-purity Rhinestone that purifies the [Fountain of Life], perhaps in the mining area of the [Ancient Spirits]!
Tracy quickly kept this information in her heart, ready to find an opportunity to pass this information to Xia En.
However, just as she was about to leave the camp.
A high priest in the [Ancient Spirit Clan] wearing a special robe suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The high priest's eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring straight at Tracy.
Tracy's heart tightened, but she still tried to communicate with the other party with gestures.
But this time.
The high priest sneered: "Do you want to use this trick to deceive me?"
"It's useless, you have the breath of elf and humans on you!"
"Not good!"
Realizing that she had been exposed, Tracy immediately spread her wings and prepared to escape.
However, the high priest was faster.
He raised his hand and waved it, and a chain formed by natural secret force instantly wrapped around Cuixi's body.
"Catch her! She is an enemy's spy!"
The high priest shouted loudly.
The [Ancient Spirit Clan] around him immediately reacted and quickly surrounded Cuixi.
Tracy struggled desperately, but the chains of natural secret forces firmly bound her, making her unable to escape.
At this critical moment, a black void crack suddenly appeared beside Cuixi.
Xia En's figure jumped out of the crack, and the Void Blade in his hand suddenly slashed down, instantly cutting off the chain that bound Cuixi.
Tracy said with a little ashamed: "Captain Xiaen, sorry."
"It's okay."
Xia En shook his head: "I originally planned to flatten this camp."
"It's just that the order is different."
"Besides, isn't it a perfect infiltration to eliminate all witnesses?"
As soon as Xia En finished speaking, the high priest of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] instantly turned gloomy.
He obviously did not expect that the enemy would break into their camp so boldly.
"Invader! Go and die!"
The high priest shouted angrily and quickly formed seals with both hands.
The runes on the altar suddenly lit up, and the rich natural secret power surged out like a tide.
Several giant apes woke up and stood in front of Xia En and Tracy.
"Captain Shane, be careful!"
Trisy exclaimed.
Xia En's expression remained unchanged, and the Void Blade in his hand was slightly raised.
The black secret power of void flowed on the blade, emitting heart-wrenching fluctuations.
"I can't stop me by a few giant apes."
Before he finished speaking, Xia En's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The next moment.
He had appeared behind a giant ape.
The blade of void slashed past like a god of death, and the giant ape's body was instantly cut in half, turning into natural secret power and dissipating into the air.
at the same time.
Joey and others also joined the battlefield from outside the camp.
