Chapter 634: The Black Tide is coming
As Tian Xian walked through a dense forest, Luna appeared ghostly beside Tian Xian, who glanced at her and walked silently.
"How did you notice me leaving? No one should be able to sense it. Luna followed the sky unhurriedly.
"You said that there is no need for a vigil at night, I think it is a little strange, although this is a border area, but after all, it is still very dangerous, with your caution, it will not be like this. β
Luna smiled knowingly and poked Tianxian's forehead, "You've really become thoughtful, and even I dare to doubt it." β
"I care about you......" Tian Xian muttered dissatisfiedly.
In the darkness, Luna's sparkling emerald eyes showed a slight smile, "You say, is it that you have been messing around with women a lot lately, so you have started to become more and more shrewd, and I find that since the fourth girl came, the contents of your little head have become more and more strange." β
"I was just looking for a stigma, to be stronger, and then I would go back to my hometown and surprise everyone, make my father proud of me, and maybe have my fiancΓ©e waiting for me at home, and everything was perfect. β
Sighing slightly, Tian Xian smiled bitterly: "But now this plan has gone bankrupt, and there are many people around me for some reason, and they have to run around in order not to let those gods return, ah...... Sometimes I think about what it matters to me if that damn god comes back or not? There is a temple of the Holy Spirit, a blood alliance, and countless forces that can fight against them, even if the world is destroyed, it is not just me who dies, maybe I can avoid this catastrophe by hiding in my old home in the Moyun Mountains, and the result is ......"
With a sigh, Tian Xian paused to stop talking, and seemed a little weak to speak.
"Then give you a chance, will you still leave the home of Moyun Mountain?" Luna picked up a small flower that had fallen on the leaves and slipped it into her hair, and the little withered flower was dyed the lake-green color of Luna's hair. It becomes plump and delicate.
Tian Xian was silent for a while about Luna's question, and finally stopped and quietly looked at the sleeping snow in his arms, took a breath and said, "Yes, I will still choose to leave, I am a person with no ideals." I could have survived, but if I knew there was snow, Sister Luna, and so many precious companions waiting for me, I would have to come back even if I had to dig through the Moyun Mountains. β
Gently stroking the snowy cheeks, Tian Xian raised his head to look at Luna's figure and said, "I will never turn my back on you, never." β
"Can a cruel fate be chosen for the sake of a companion?"
"If only apathy and loneliness. Then there is no chance to choose a cruel fate. β
Luna chuckled softly, "Little ghost, human life is short and restless for us elves, like a meteor streaked across the sky, in our opinion, humans are always naΓ―ve and ridiculous, and only when they truly grow will they be recognized by us." β
"True growth?"
"Yes. Luna approached Tianidle. The light spots around her surrounded her quietly, shining on her soft face. Looking at Tian Xian, who was already taller than herself, she stood on tiptoe and reached out to rub Tian Xian's head, "When a human being is willing to bear the fate of others and clearly knows what it means, we say that this human is no longer naΓ―ve." β
Tianxian grinned, "This is talking about me!"
Luna knocked Tianxian on the head. "No longer childish, but in the eyes of elves, human beings have never grown up. β
"Then I'll be your godson! When I'm eighty years old, I'll still call you my godmother!"
"Bah, bah!" Luna tapped her head indiscriminately, "Lady, I'm still very young, where did I come from?"
As she spoke, Luna glanced at Tian Xian. "It's barely a little brother......"
I laughed non-stop every day.
Luna stiffened her face for a long time, and finally couldn't help but laugh, "Little bastard, you've really become elfin and weird, but you've really grown up, and my sister is very pleased." β
"Thank you sister for the compliment. β
Luna smiled and nodded, and walked over first, and said, "For those who cherish my companions, maybe I can reveal a little bit of my secret, I don't know if anyone wants to hear it?"
Overjoyed, he hurried to catch up with Luna, "Yes, somebody, someone wants to listen." β
Luna nodded, still smiling, but Tianxian found that the smile was a little more helpless and bitter, "I didn't want to come back here, because I have a relative here." β
"Also, there's another ......," Tian Xian was surprised, "wouldn't that be nice?"
"No, it's just going to cause us trouble, she's the kind of cold guy you can't imagine, you can choose to carry a heavy fate for the sake of your companions, and she can give up her relatives for the sake of profit. β
Abandoned her relatives!Lost her time, could this have something to do with Luna's trip to the human continent to find her relatives?
"She is the high priestess of the elven clan, the spiritual belief of the elves, and her status is almost comparable to the elven king, the so-called elven king's prophecy is actually the prophecy of the high priest, so do you understand her significance to the elven clan?"
Tian Xian was completely surprised, it turned out that the prophecy of the elf king was actually made by the high priest, so in other words, it was the words of this high priest that made the Eastern Kingdom send so many people to risk their lives to go to the human continent to find the prophesied divine envoy, and its status is evident.
She ...... Why are you making things difficult for us?" asked Tian Xian cautiously.
"She is not aimed at us, but will make things difficult for everyone who may benefit from the elves, her ruthlessness is also famous in the entire Eastern Kingdom, fortunately this generation of Elven Kings is merciful enough, otherwise this Eastern Kingdom will not be at peace. β
"That'...... So, then she and Sister Luna, you ......" Tian Xian asked more carefully.
"It doesn't matter...... Luna sighed, "because she doesn't value this at all, she's already given up on the notion of family, it's just a bargaining chip that can be discarded when the time is right, understand?"
Tianxian didn't dare to ask again, so he had to nod.
Luna sighed, as if saying this also made her feel a lot more relaxed, "I'm a little absent-minded these days, and when I think of seeing her again, she's still on top, but my poor brother and sister are living and not knowing how to live or die on the human continent...... She's the only relative I'm in now. It's all a nightmare. β
"The Kuroshio thing ......"
"In such a border area, the likelihood of Kuroshio is quite low and almost negligible, and we can avoid all the dangers if we are careful. β
Patting her cheek, Luna perked up, "Let's go back! We still have to hurry at dawn, and now we should keep our spirits up, and when we meet the Leo Patriarch, that will be the beginning of our troubles. β
The two of them walked lightly and slowly, not in a hurry to return to the camp, and each of them was in a heavy mood when they talked about the past, and there was a sense of relaxation when they walked in this dark forest.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Tian Xian turned his head to look ahead to the right. A look of doubt appeared between his eyebrows.
"What's wrong, are you afraid to walk at night and want your sister to hold you?" Luna laughed.
"The wind is blowing. Tian Xian said a little confused.
"It's windy?" Luna laughed as she looked at the quiet woods around her, "Little fool! β
Tianxian slowly frowned, "Indeed, but ...... But the air is moving. β
"What?"
"No...... It's the energy that's flowing, the energy of the forest...... The life energy of the forest is flowing. I gather in like one direction. β
Luna glanced strangely in the direction Tian Xian was looking, in the darkness of the night. In that direction, there was only a large shadow of a giant tree, and nothing could be seen.
"The energy of the forest...... Kid, you're not talking nonsense, are you?"
"No! it's really flowing!" Tian Xian had fully unfolded his energy tentacles, sensing the fluctuations of energy around him, and quickly calculating the direction and speed of energy flow.
"And it's getting faster and faster......" Tian Xian looked surprised, "It's not converging over there again." Something is extracting the energy of the forest over a large area!"
This made Luna's face turn white in shock, "You, what are you talking about, something is extracting the energy of the forest?"
"Over there!" Tian Xian said categorically, looking in that direction.
Luna thought quickly, then crouched down quickly. She muttered an ancient incantation in her mouth, and her palm pressed against the ground, and with the sound of the incantation, all the spots of light that surrounded her swirled, and a layer of green light poured out of her body and poured into the ground along her palm.
Unknown shoots began to grow around Luna's palms, and slowly wrapped around her palms and forearms, and green light poured into these shoots, spreading radially in all directions, and where the light passed, strange sounds came from flowers and forests, and were instantly dyed emerald green.
Tian Xian recognized that this was Luna using the Trapping Vine to probe the distance.
In less than a minute, Luna's eyes widened suddenly, and she tore off the shoots of the vine, shouting, "Let's go!
Tian Xian was taken aback, and before he had time to think about it, he quickly followed Luna forward.
The two of them sped through the forest like two lightning bolts, and when they turned a large black iron spear-like forest, the vision of the right front that was blocked by a huge ancient tree became wider, and Tian Xian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he looked at it.
In the thick night, not far away, countless huge black shadows appeared almost against the huge group of ancient trees, and it was 100% sure that there were no such black shadows there when it was dark and camping.
These shadows look like trees, but they are uneven, a little messy, and ...... It seemed to be shaking slightly, like demonic claws reaching into the sky one by one.
This...... Is it the Kuroshio?
It was too dark and too far away, and Tian Xian couldn't see it very clearly, but he still felt full of shock.
If these were trees, I don't know how many there were, but judging by the area covered by the huge figure in the night, I am afraid that the width of the front is about ten kilometers.
And the strange thing is that these black shadows are visibly shaking with the naked eye, but there is no sound at all, even in the black forest where abnormal noises are frequent, it is impossible for such a huge thing to move without making an obvious sound.
"Don't look, we're going to be swept up! The others must be notified to retreat immediately!" Luna saw that Tianxian was actually in a daze, and ran wildly.
Want to be swept up?
Tianxian couldn't help asking: "Those shadows are still far away from us." β
"Explain later!" Luna snapped a reminder, anxious, increasing her speed once more.
Tian Xian followed closely, while paying attention to the movements of those black shadows, and suddenly said, "They seem to have changed direction!"
Luna was startled, and after a few glances, her face turned pale, "Moving in the direction of the camp...... We can't avoid it!"
"We should be able to get back to camp before they get close. Tian Xian looked at the huge shadow that was still swaying in the darkness in the distance, and his heart was very puzzled.
Luna shook her head, "It's too late, this time it's up to our luck!"
Tian Xian didn't know why Luna was so sure she couldn't avoid the Kuroshio, obviously those shadows were still far away, but soon Tian Xian understood what Luna meant.
Because the voice finally appeared! and it was sudden, as if one moment it was still in the sky, and the next moment it had completely entangled you.
It was a sound a hundred times more terrifying than the sound of the entire forest, the huge tree trunks twisting and grinding, the thick roots piercing the dirt and rocks, completely shattering the ground, and the loud sound of huge ancient trees bending and breaking, and the strong wind screaming madly through the gaps in the thick tree trunks.
The whole forest seemed to be wailing, the earth was weeping, and every sound was so painful and cruel that it made people shudder, and the demonic seemed to descend overhead.
"It's ...... What sound!?"
"Don't ask the howl of the Kuroshio!" we still have one last bit of hope, and if we are lucky enough to avoid this Kuroshio!"
Luna was covered in cold sweat, and she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and the two of them ran wildly in the direction of the camp with all their might.
When Tian Xian and Luna rushed back to the camp, they saw everyone wake up, and the rest of them were solemn but a little inexplicable, while Tu Ge and Old Kabu were already frightened.
The first thing Luna did when she rushed into the camp was to point in the opposite direction to Kuroshio and shout, "Run with all your might!"
Anyone still doesn't know what's going on, but Luna's behavior and doing so makes everyone realize that the situation is extremely bad, and everyone quickly drops everything and runs with Luna.
The terrifying voice was always chasing behind everyone, no matter how fast everyone ran, it never disappeared, nor did it weaken, but gradually approached.
Old Kabu was the first to stop.
Tianxian immediately grabbed his arm, "Can't stop! I'll take you away!"
Old Kabu shook his head slowly, "Lord Divine Envoy, it's useless, we've been swept into the Black Tide." β
"Those things haven't gotten close yet, we still have a chance!"
"No, there's no chance anymore. Luna's voice came, and when Tianxian looked back, she had also stopped, her expression was incomparably solemn, "If we could escape, at the speed of the Black Tide, we should have escaped a long time ago." β
Exhaling softly, Luna continued, "Let's go back, where we have our food and belongings, and ...... See with your eyes what is the most terrifying thing in the Eastern Kingdoms. (To be continued.) )
