Chapter 672: Mutation
The High Priest's gaze looked back and forth on Tian Xian's body, as if he wanted to see through the smiling harmless human boy in front of him.
She came this time, indeed in the name of investigating the Black Tide, the Stone Axe Tribe has spread the news to the Elf Clan, saying that there is a human boy who stopped the Black Tide from moving, this incident caused a great shock in the Elf Clan, and even when the High Priest who never went out asked the Elf King to go out to investigate, the Elf King agreed without thinking about it.
For thousands of years, the Kuroshio has been rampant in the Eastern Kingdom, and no force can resist the invasion of the Kuroshio, and the creatures of the Eastern Kingdom have tried many methods, digging trenches, building defensive barriers, and even burning them with fire, but the result is that more creatures are swallowed by the Kuroshio.
The elves could not believe that a human could have the power to stop the Kuroshio.
At the end of the day, the Kuroshio is a manifestation of the anomalous power that remained in the land during the Great War of the Gods, and the power of the gods is needed to stop the Kuroshio from moving!
The high priest carefully looked at the young man in front of him, and his heart became more and more puzzled.
This is a tall, thin and obviously young man, judging from his casual dress and messy black hair, he is an unruly human being, but the glittering light in those black eyes is firm and solid, which shows that he is a decisive human at the same time.
But no matter how you look at it, the smile on this face is very flattering, full of sincerity and kindness, but ...... The smile on the corner of his mouth always seems to contain something unsettling.
An impenetrable human being.
"Kuroshio...... I'm really going to investigate this time, and I've heard that someone stopped the Kuroshio from moving, is it really you?"
Tian Xian smiled and nodded, "Yes, but that's just luck, I'm already very happy to be able to pick up a life." ”
"Is there such a thing?" said the high priest. "Are you sure it stopped because of your Kuroshio?"
Luna said coldly, "If you don't believe it, don't ask again, the Kuroshio that stopped is not very far from here, you can investigate it yourself." ”
The High Priest looked at Luna and nodded, "I'll look into it, of course." This thing is strange, and the elven king wants a sure result. ”
"Well, let's not bother too much, we'll pick some food here and leave, since you didn't plan to take us to the Elven King, we still have a long way to go. ”
The High Priest nodded slowly, "Indeed...... You still have a long way to go, but this is the stronghold of the elves, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. It's absolutely not permissible for so many of you to break into here and pick food. ”
"And what can you do?" Luna tilted her head, smiling maliciously, "Do you want to turn against us with the five of you? Honestly, it's polite that we didn't tie you up now, but if you don't know how to be an eyesore here, we don't mind having you as pathfinders, and I think we'll move forward a lot faster." ”
There was a slight hint of helplessness in the high priest's expression. "Luna, you've really changed. You really shouldn't have left here, and you've gone to the human world, and it's hard to find the nobility and elegance of the elves in you. ”
Luna said in a cold voice, "I don't need those boring things, nobility and grace can't save anyone! how noble and elegant you are as a high priest, but you tell me! your daughter! where are your sons now?
The high priest was silent.
Luna snorted. "You used to say that you should protect the entire elven race, but ...... You can't even protect your own relatives, including other elves! Even the king of the elves! You are just deceiving yourself! noble, elegant, and just fart!"
The High Priest listened silently to Luna's words, the expression on his face not changing in the slightest. In the end, he just nodded, "It seems...... We are completely unable to communicate, so we will leave, but remember that you will be punished for your mistakes! What you have abandoned as an elf will one day torment you!"
"I'm not going to suffer for those stupid things, I'm glad I'm the way I am, and I definitely won't regret it!"
The High Priest gave Luna one last look, "Okay...... Then let time tell, let's go. ”
With four of his guards, the high priest turned and left, quickly disappearing into the forest.
It wasn't until they were completely gone that Luna shook her body, the tight thread in her mind finally loosened.
"Sister Luna, are you alright?" Tian Xian carefully held her.
"It's fine. ”
Gently pushing the sky away, Luna looked in the direction of the high priest's departure and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect to meet her here, but it's okay, at least she brought us news, that is, the Elven King has begun to keep an eye on us, and it is very beneficial for us that you have stopped the Kuroshio from spreading." ”
Tianxian also looked over there and asked, "Can you ...... I mean, is it possible for the High Priest to take us back to the territory of the elves......?
"Impossible...... Luna snorted, "The elves are stupid and arrogant, they think they are the first race in the Eastern Kingdom, and they don't have the ability to go to the elven territory on their own, they won't see any of them, not only us, but even other tribes in normal times. ”
"But...... The high priest ...... after all"
Luna looked back and said sternly, "I don't have anything to do with her anymore!
Tianxian naturally won't say it anymore, but a picture scroll appeared in Tianxian's mind, it was a small room, and there was a painting hanging in the room, and the woman in the painting was dressed in white, indifferent and quiet.
Tian Xian didn't know what her mother was supposed to be, but it seemed that it was definitely not what Luna remembered.
Looking in the direction of the high priest's departure, there were only a few pieces of sunlight left, and Tian Xian couldn't help but recall her every word and demeanor just now.
There really is so much in common with Luna.
"I remember, I said before that if you are lucky here, you can go directly to the Elf King, I don't know...... What kind of luck was that?"
Luna had already picked fruit from the nearby tree, and she didn't stop hearing this question, and replied simply, "If we meet an elven guard here, then it is indeed possible that we will go directly to the elven king." Because those guards are patrolling back and forth between the various strongholds, as you can see, this stronghold is not actually in the forests of the Eastern Kingdoms, but has been created with a special method, and those guards can travel between the various strongholds, and we just need to follow. Soon we will be in the elven territory. ”
Tian Xian was stunned, "So, the high priest should also come like this." ”
"No!"
Luna looked back at Tian Xian, "They came here in a hurry, just look at her dress." ”
"Yes...... Why?"
"Because of the elven rules, the only ones who can move back and forth between these colonies are the guards, hmph! I said they're all stupid guys, and they don't even know the slightest flexibility. ”
Tianxian is a little speechless, if it is because of such reasons. Then the elves are inevitably too engraved.
"Fortunately, we have received good news, and when we arrive at the elven territory, the elven king will definitely be willing to contact us. ”
"In that case......"
As he was talking, there was a sudden exclamation not far away, and then the exclamation quickly turned into shouting and roaring, followed by a dull collision.
"What's going on?" Luna was taken aback, "what are those guys doing?"
"Let's take a look!" Tian Xian ran forward with a short body.
Beyond the woods in front of you, in front of you is an open field on the shore of the lake. And the sight of the lake surprised Tianxian.
Wisps of water floated up from the lake like smoke and mist, twisting into a stream in mid-air. Like a whip, it stretched out and wrapped itself around the people by the lake.
There were dozens of water whips, entangled a group of lionmen passing by, and there were already more than a dozen lionmen in the lake struggling desperately, as if a force was pulling them underwater.
"Help!"
Tianxian shouted, and the desolate dust sword buzzed out of its sheath, and the flames of the evil eye instantly burst up. "Incense! Save the people in the water!"
"Xiaosheng understands!"
Xiang jumped up, and the flash knife unsheathed in mid-air, blooming with a rippling light.
Tian Xian rushed into the crowd like a whirlwind, and the flames of the Great Sword of Desolate Dust created a ring of fire in the air, and all the water whips were cut off by this ring of fire. The bound lionmen all fell to the ground.
The flash knife light of the flash knife in mid-air slashed directly into the lake, and the lake water, which had never fluctuated, seemed to have millions of tons of explosives, and the water waves exploded in large swaths, and the lions in the lake also screamed and were all swept into the air.
Xiang Ling stepped on the water waves, one person and one kick, and all the lion people were kicked back to the shore.
With the roar of the water, it fell back into the lake, and the incense landed lightly, and the flash wave knife was already in its sheath.
Although the lions were rescued, the water seemed to become frantic because of it, and the water seemed to fluctuate like the sea, and the wisps of water rose from the surface of the water again.
"Boom-"
Tian Xian slammed the desolate dust sword into the ground, the flame of the evil eye was extinguished instantly, and a cold air was injected into the ground along the blade of the sword, and it was quickly transmitted into the lake.
Freezing the water of the lake within a range of more than 50 meters near the shore of the lake, Tian Xian took out the Great Sword of Wild Dust and looked back to check the situation of the lions.
The lions were unharmed, but they were frightened.
There are all kinds of strange things in the forests of the Eastern Kingdom, and there are naturally many dangers in the water, but what the lions can't accept is that they will be attacked by the lake in the stronghold of the elves!
"Sister Luna, this lake ......" After learning about the lionman's situation, Tianxian looked at Luna with some confusion.
Luna stood on the shore and looked at the frozen paste in front of her with a deep expression, "This lake ...... It is the source of energy of the sacred tree, the purest thing, how could it be like this......"
Looking at the others, everyone shook their heads, apparently even Luna didn't know what was going on, and the rest of them didn't know why.
"There's nothing surprising about that. ”
The voice of the high priest suddenly came from behind everyone.
Luna jerked away, "Why are you still here?"
The high priest walked out of the woods not far away unhurriedly, still with the four guards behind him.
"I hadn't gone far before I heard a commotion here, so I came over and had a look. ”
The high priest came to the lake, looked at the ice in the lake, swept his gaze twice on the desolate dust sword, and said, "The entire eastern kingdom is becoming inexplicable, and the elves are naturally not immune, which is also one of the reasons why I came out this time." ”
"What do you mean by that?" asked Luna in a cold voice.
The high priest said softly: "You have been away for a long time, many things are not clear to you, compared to when you left, the current Eastern Kingdom is very different, it is not very obvious in such a border area, but within the Eastern Kingdom, this difference is already very huge. ”
"Differences?"
"Yes, it's the difference!" the High Priest didn't seem to say to Luna, but to himself, "the Eastern Kingdoms aren't the same anymore...... Everything is changing, prophecies are becoming true, and this could be a disaster. ”
"What the hell are you talking about!?"
"Oh...... Sorry I got distracted. The high priest smiled, "It's useless to say this to you now, when you can go to the territory of the elves, you will naturally know what I am talking about, now I can only say that the situation just now is normal, this lake has become a lot more irritable, you are careful, don't think that your strength is enough to take it lightly, so that there are too many humans to die in the Eastern Kingdom." ”
"If I'm investigating fast enough, and I'm in a good mood, I'll come back to see you, but of course, it's almost impossible. The high priest said, turning and leaving.
Luna's heart was on fire, could this woman be here to talk about the wind?
"High Priest!" Tian Xian suddenly shouted.
The High Priest paused, "What's the matter?"
"Recently, there has been a lot of peace in the forest, and there is a strange invader who has come to the Eastern Kingdom, I think...... Why don't you join us for now, that guy, uh...... He's fierce, and he's very strong. ”
The high priest smiled, "Thank you, but there is no need, but whoever came here is just for the secret treasure prophesied by the Elf King, but if the Elf King doesn't say it, no one knows where this secret treasure is, and if anyone dares to hurt me, he will be automatically out of this competition." ”
Tian Xian scratched his cheek, "Okay...... Please take care of yourself and hope we can see each other soon. ”
The high priest didn't say anything more and turned away.
"The Eastern Kingdom is getting strange...... "Tian Xian looked at the lake, thinking about the words of the high priest, "and the Kuroshio...... What the hell do the gods want to torture this land into......" (To be continued.) )
