The sun rises and sets, time passes, and dusk covers the earth again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The clouds surged, obscuring the stars and the moon, the gloomy and cold atmosphere spread, and the chaos spread.

Above the sky, a huge circle composed of ten rings snapped and rotated like gears, and in the middle of each aura, there was a [meaning] inscribed by ancient runes.

Floods, volcanoes, earthquakes, eternal nights, gales, meteorites, droughts, blizzards, tsunamis and dust fog.

The name of the Ten Calamities flickered at the top of the firmament, and now, the two brightest auras represented the Dust Mist and the Eternal Night, so the haze and clouds of countless dust covered the whole world, and the turbid air absorbed all the light.

Even the sun, moon and stars dimmed.

Except for the roar of thunder across the night sky, the whole world was silent, purple lightning shone through the land, and all that was left of the original cities and villages was a white ruin, and all but the most heavily defended province in the central part of the bay had fallen.

Even the Central District, which was in a state of panic due to the disappearance of the Supreme Commander, retreated to defend itself with the help of permanent fortifications on the peaks and underground.

Tension reigned in the communications room underground, with one correspondent calling in vain for the channels of the other provinces, but they were destined to have no response, leaving them with only their own responses, shrill noises, and meaningless humming.

"This is the central district of the bay, call the province of Delang, please respond!"

"This is the central region of the bay, call the province of Babbel, please respond!"

"This is the ...... of the bay"

“……”

Gradually, all the correspondents stopped what they were doing, they looked at each other, smiled wryly, and then closed the communication desk with trembling hands.

These people have discovered a terrible truth - they may be the only ones left in the world.

In just three days and two nights, since the submarine volcano erupted in Sapphire Harbor, the apocalypse array descended, bringing countless stone demons, the whole world was conquered by the power of chaos, millions of lives died in an instant, cities were destroyed, civilization was trampled, and now there is no screaming and wailing on the earth, because all the voices have lost their lives, only the elves who survive in the shelter deep underground cover their mouths, trembling, desperately waiting for death to come.

The silent marching stone demons, after roughly sweeping away all life on the surface, began to move in a certain direction, their steps uniform, making people feel fear, and the tremors of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of magic golems trembled like an earthquake.

And their target is the mountain range that is filled with cyan light.

Mountains of Origin.

And just when the vast majority of the elves were staying in the last shelter, not daring to go out, or even fighting, there was a team of elves still wandering outside.

On the elite float for the Grand Commander, the guards remain above the capital of the last dynasty, awaiting the return of their allegiance, the supreme leader of the current Elven Federation, Ulken Ouranore.

Just after the Grand Commander disappeared into the depths of this ruin, it didn't take long for a fresh wind to rise from the depths of the mountain range, turning all the stone demons into stone statues covered with vines and grass, and they firmly believed that this vision was triggered by the Grand Commander, and he must have taken advantage of the current time when the elements were dense to activate some ancient weapons left over from the Elven Dynasty that could not be activated due to lack of magic power.

Moreover, the Origin Mountains, as a sacred place in the myths and legends of the Elves of Ilgena, must contain some great secrets behind them, and although they don't believe in those mysterious rumors, they still have some subtle hopes.

But before the Grand Commander returned, the guards first spotted a huge creature speeding forward in the distance, but it was impossible to see what it was because of the dust and fog that filled the sky.

"What's that?"

"Stone Devil?"

"The stone demons should all be imprisoned......"

"It's not imprisoned? Isn't it a stone demon? ”

They talked to each other quickly, but no one knew what the figure in the distance was hidden in the smoke and dust, and at the beginning of the disaster, these guards had accompanied Ulken to the Origin Mountains, and they naturally did not know what was going on in the outside world.

Only one of the guards who had been following the Grand Commander vaguely guessed a possibility, and he hesitated and said with some hesitation: "You say, could it be that?" ”

"What that?" The others asked blankly, and they urged, "Say it quickly." ”

Shaking his head, urged by his companions, the guard could only say his own guess: "You say, could it be the Volcanic Dragon?" ”

Joshua and his party had already approached the Origin Mountain Range.

"It's completely different here than anywhere else!"

Loranda quickly noticed the difference between this place and the rest of the Ilgena world, he stood up from the black back, and looked around in amazement - compared to other places full of dust and clouds, and withered vegetation, the Origin Mountain Range was full of life, whether it was the wind, or the swaying grass and leaves, it was full of vitality, which made the paladin, who had been in the area corrupted by chaos for a long time, feel that he had suddenly stepped from the dark shadows into the bright sun.

In addition to this, the blonde paladin also noticed something strange - through the sense of holy light, he sensed that countless souls were gathering from all directions and then sinking into the depths of the mountain range, and Lolanda couldn't help but think of what he had discovered when he rescued the local elves in the province of Babbel.

Although full of resentment against the stone demons, the spirit of the elf did not reside in the zone of its death, but was called away by some force, and now it seems that that power is located in the origin mountain range, maybe it is the 'soul of the forest' in Joshua's mouth.

He wasn't mistaken.

Joshua could also see the soul light floating in the sky, the souls of these elves after death were full of unwillingness, helplessness, resentment and overwhelm, a few days ago, these people were living a stable life, but now, they are all dead, dead at the hands of the stone demons. It was all so sudden that all the elves could not accept their death, they would have become earthbound spirits, resentful of all living life, but now, they were guided here by the spirits of the forest.

In the faint flickering cyan light of life, the resentment of the resentful spirits was purified, and the pure souls sank into the earth, deep underground.

Kuroya followed his instinctive guidance and sped all the way towards the very center of the mountain range, and between the jungles, you could faintly see the remains of huge stone statues and stone avenues long covered with vines and moss, which was once the capital of the Elven Dynasty, and even if no one had set foot in it for nearly a hundred years, it still had magnificent ruins.

Soon after, they found themselves in the ruins of a city that had been burned by fire.

It was overgrown with weeds, littered with piles of charred stones and the remains of buildings, on which creepers and shrubs were entangled, and the wind howled through the ruins, making a terrible noise between the ruins.

"This is it."

Joshua gave the command to stop Hei from running, he turned his head to look around, and then said, "Now, we just have to wait. ”

"But all that's left here is ruins......"

Standing on the edge of the black back, the silver-haired girl looked around with a frown, but she found nothing but the remains of the tower and the main hall. Rin on the side was also observing, but he found something special - among the ruins of a large hall, there was a huge statue, and the image of this statue seemed to be an ancient tree that supported heaven and earth.

"Ancient trees?"

The boy's mind always turned a little faster than his sister, and Rin said to himself thoughtfully: "The soul of the forest ......"

He seemed to have guessed something.

"How long are we going to wait?"

After ten minutes passed, Loranda couldn't help but feel a little anxious, his original patience was not so unbearable, but the anxious sense of crisis had always made him unable to wait at ease, Joshua shrugged, he watched the sky full of soul light merge into the earth in turn, and said calmly: "Our friend is still dealing with some important matters now, don't worry, it has been watching us, just wait for it to be free." ”

On the airship, the elves clearly saw Joshua and his party entering the Origin Mountain Range, and they watched each other move forward at a rapid pace, even reaching the center of the mountain range.

"It's the Dragon of Volcanoes! There's still someone on the back! ”

"What are they going to do there? Does anyone know what kind of place it is? ”

The sharp-eyed guards quickly discovered the identity of the half-dragon, but they didn't have time to see how many people were on its back, and many people were curious about where the volcanic dragon went.

"I know what it is."

There happened to be a middle-aged guard who knew what place it was, and the elf, who looked much more mature than the other young and strong guards, frowned and said, "This is the Elven Dynasty's sacrificial mother tree, where the former Great Temple is located...... What did the Volcano Dragon do in that place? Does it also believe in the Mother Tree? ”

Speaking of this, he himself shook his head with a smile and denied: "Maybe he just ran there casually, after all, in the whole world now, only the Origin Mountain Range is the safest." ”

This may be the case, even if some people are curious about the whereabouts of the half-dragon, but most of the other guards don't have the extra energy to pay attention to what the volcanic dragon wants to do, they have been watching each other stay on the ruins of the original Great Temple, but they don't have the slightest intention to communicate.

The Origin Mountains returned to silence, leaving only the sound of the wind blowing through the mountains and forests, and the tide surging among the trees and seas.

It was so peaceful that the earth began to hum after ten minutes.

Under the shocked gaze of the elves on the airship, the earth slowly shook, starting from the ruins of the Great Temple in the center of the mountain range, the mountain peak slowly cracked a crack, and countless tentacles like tree roots disappeared between the cracks of the mud and stones, they wriggled and tore the earth, revealing a strange and huge underground cavern hidden under the mountain peak.

In the cave, countless green light clusters shimmered, and they floated in mid-air, bringing with them one fresh and chilling wind after another.

Just when all the spirits on the floatship didn't react, countless roots-like tentacles wriggled, and they were like a huge hand, carrying the 'Volcanic Dragon' and the people on its back into the cave under the mountain!
