Othua's War Banner

Chapter 540 0388: The dark side of the deer

The Greybeard Sprinter carried Kaveda through the chaotic battlefield.

The rock transformation magic covered her and her warriors with hard armor that could be summoned repeatedly. The well-trained cavalry blocked all the enemies approaching Kavida. Excluded from the outside.

The deerskin coat that Kavida was wearing was hunting, and the lines on the skin surface of his arms were clearly visible.

Her nostrils were filled with the stench of beasts, and countless hooves knocked irregularly on the ground. Anyone who approached would feel a headache, and the horizon was completely blocked at this time.

Except deer, still deer.
Large and small, with different characteristics.

……

Wu Senbu and the other members of the Sacrifice clan also followed firmly behind.

He has known City for some time, so he is also familiar with the terrain of the Sharp Ice Bay.

Right now they are staying at the northernmost end of this area, as long as they cross a few key coordinates, they will arrive at the Red Maple Heights.

The direction of the deer running at this time is the largest forest area in Jianyu Bingwan.

The tall [Bronze Bone Cedar] grows there, which is the favorite material for weapon handles of the Velen people. It can easily grow to a height of [-] meters. The pine needles support the falling snow and spread an endless soft white bed.

Moreover, this forest is covered with fog all the year round, obviously it is also occupied by [Spirit].

There are no famous treasure rumors or mysterious stories. In the past hundred years, there have not been many explorers and tribes to bother. At most, there are loggers who visit seasonally to obtain enough wood to support their families in the lightest season of fog. .

Valuable behemoths and clever monsters hardly approach it actively.

Kavida's army is stationed in this place where the pine forest can be seen, but the scouts who went to explore the road, the traders and travelers who came and went, and the local mountain people in the Sharp Ice Bay...

None of them brought the desired news, and there was nothing noteworthy in the information conveyed by the bedrock.

"So it's right under our noses?" Kavida growled.

"I swear to you, the scouts did their best," her leader explained from the saddle. "It's probably the spirits in the forest. They don't want to be disturbed, so they created illusions to deceive our eyes."

Kavida frowned, thinking for a moment. "It's impossible to hide it from me. It's not a spirit, it's something more powerful."

The leaders exchanged glances, covered their shields and mounts with petrification magic, and then ordered their teams to be careful.

Kavida turned his head amidst the sound of armor and rock condensing.

Barney and her elite soldiers are also ready.

……

Ken rode the Fay Wolf King and acted as the core of the entire expulsion process.

The team of nearly a thousand people was dispersed to each node, forming a huge net of the bottom.

The team enjoyed the fun of the adventure, cheering and screaming one after another, hoping to record this wonderful experience in their minds.

Ken reached out and grasped the groove on the side of the saddle, and never took his eyes off the end of the horizon. Before the deer herd reached the forest, every link of the migration process was firmly in his hands.

He has keenly felt:

The herd of deer broke into the weird pine forest, and the fog swallowed fear and beasts, as if it was a curtain used to isolate the backstage in the theater, passing through another world.

Ken felt like the thread had snapped in his hand, but he knew the mission was going well.

His wolf spirit is highly compatible.

Ken could sense the power released from [Wilderland Tomb], amidst the darkness, the pine forest echoed with pure deer cries.

Hippo will not force others to do what is difficult for him, and hand over difficult tasks to mortals, so this is the position of [Mission Settlement], driving the deer to the pine forest is what the [Beast Spirit] wants Ken to complete.

But after that?
It is impossible for the mighty herd of deer to settle here.

Ken also wants to know what the development of the situation that Lu Ling expects, and at the same time, he is also curious about what gift [Xibo] bestowed on him, but what he cares most about...

Or the means for the beast spirit to stay in front.

Ken mobilized the entry of the wasteland tomb, reviewing every clue accumulated in the notes.

The beasts buried in the Wasteland Tomb each have corresponding beliefs, and the power of some of them is scattered all over the northern border, such as wolf spirits and eagle spirits, which can be easily contacted.

Of course, if you want a high degree of fit, you still have to make corresponding efforts and have the right opportunity.

Not all the power in the wasteland mounds is floating and disorderly.

Because the deer spirit has been guarded by the tribe for generations, it has given birth to a powerful enough god, Hippo. The power of the deer spirit in the wasteland tomb is firmly controlled by him, so even though Ken entered the holy land in the illusion, he did not activate the corresponding entry.

He needs to get in touch with the original power with the permission of the deer spirit to complete the collection task of [Wilderland Tomb].

That is the ultimate goal of this trip. As for the commission of [Hippo], it is only a branch line to achieve the goal, and it is also a pavement for the subsequent development of the tribe.

Ken cleared his thoughts and focused on the forest again.

The herd of deer began to rush in at this time, and it felt like a mountain spring flowing into a lake, quiet and orderly, completely natural, and it could no longer be divided into independent individuals.

"Something is taking over the beasts?"

Ken watched silently, and then the dense herd of deer, which occupied the entire field of vision, all rushed in.

He noticed that the fog in the forest was getting heavier and heavier, but there was no confusion, and there were no frightened birds in the sky, indicating that the tens of thousands of deer were very cooperative.

These are dozens of different types, they are beasts!

The sunlight moved a distance of two knuckles above the head of Jianyin Ice Bay, and the mighty, smoky migratory team almost all entered the woodland of [Bronze Bone Winter Pine].

Ken was at the tail of the herd, at the forefront of all human echelons, and the mercenaries had slowed down and approached him.

He continued to move forward silently, relying on Fei Wolf King's moving speed, swayed half a circle at the front of the forest, the rising fog almost covered the natural light of the sun, and it tended to spread outward.

Ken recalled [Dense Forest] and the last time he saw Roxani, and he had an ominous premonition.

He originally thought that what [Hippo] left would be some kind of gentle miracle, but anger, hatred, and fear came from the woodland, which was somewhat similar to the negative emotions echoing from the Greedy Bridge.

It's clearer and more orderly, if I must describe it...

"The herd of deer that died in Jianyin Ice Bay will all be resurrected now."

Ken said.

He ordered all the mercenaries who were in charge of driving to gather around him, and then vacated the main road to let Kavida, Barney, the tribal coalition forces and the animal clan who were chasing after him come over.

The Shenqi battle banner of the Yanquan tribe stopped the sprint beast after a distance of dozens of steps, and the men and horses behind also arrived one after another.

It didn't take long for the armies to take their own quarters, each dike--dike Nemesis, dike Ken Bouvier, dike the white mist spreading out from the pines.

Wu Senbu looked at him and asked questions on behalf of the Sacrificial Clan. "What's wrong?"

Ken signaled Wusenbu and the other elders to step back with his eyes, and then looked at the tribal coalition forces that broke into the Jianyan Ice Bay, as well as Kavida and Barney who were holding heavy troops.

"Every one of you came here for the sake of the deer. Since the fight is bloody, you have to carry it together when something happens."

Ken's tone was calm, but his expression was very complicated.

He originally appeared because of Lu Ling's entrustment, and he could have stood by and watched, but now he stayed and faced it together.

Usenbu mustered up the courage to approach Ken.

Collins and the mercenaries became vigilant, because they didn't get any hint from Ken, so they didn't stop the old man.

He approached the mighty and majestic Feiwolf King, thinking about the way he met last time, he was once again afraid of Ken's rising speed, "Leave this land of right and wrong, the next thing has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with the Sacrifice Clan Nothing to do."

Ken nodded, but wiped the battle ax aside again with frost magic.

His attention was always in the forest next to him, he looked at Wusenbu, and said:

"The killing of the herd of deer will affect the balance, and if tens of thousands of people die here, it will also affect the balance, not to mention there are two divine revelations, any loss is meaningless."

The two sisters were not far away, and with their five senses beyond ordinary people, Ken's words also fell into their ears.

Kavida squinted his eyes, and was about to ask clearly, but was drowned out by the noise from the side.

Yooo——

The terrible sound came from the middle of the [Bronze Bone Cedar] woodland. It was so powerful that it echoed throughout the plain. Even the butcher who set up a stall at the entrance of the farthest mountain road could hear the long echo.

This sound is probably comparable to the roar of a giant dragon!
The white mist was like a wild beast that broke out of its cage, engulfing tens of thousands of people around in the blink of an eye, and even the tribal coalition forces at the edge did not escape from the pursuit of the mist.

[Mission completed: woo hoo]

[Description: You have successfully expelled the deer herd to a safe area. 】

The short note flashed in front of Ken's eyes, the font was shaking, and it seemed that something was about to come out.

The mist rolled over the heads of the riders, and even the mighty camel beasts like Ta Ke were covered by thin white smoke at this time.

The bright red light flickered around the crowd, and a terrible aura appeared. Along with the incomparably clear footsteps, everyone heard the sound of wet water in a panic.

They lowered their heads in horror, and in the fog with low visibility, they saw all the snow under their feet melted.

"Look, there's something in the forest!"

I don't know who shouted such a sentence, followed by the sound of separation of flesh and blood.

Can't go wrong.

Everyone survived the tide of undead in the Red Maple Heights, and no one is unfamiliar with the details of the blood and screams.

What Judit told him at that time emerged in Ken's mind, and he also whispered in his mouth.

"Hippo's true face is not always a shining deer."

[If you have malicious intentions and rashly break into Hippo's territory, you will encounter a completely different scene.The barren and cracked soil, the terrible purgatory where the bones are everywhere, and the flooded giant deer will turn into a terrifying skeleton deer spirit, judging your sins! 】

Scorched land.

Red halo.

Tall figure.

Heavy snort.

Ken watched as several riders from that tribe flew in blood and flesh in front of him, the mist was stirred up, and the bright red halo seemed to become clearer.

Then the hazy natural light is also blocked.

Ken, Wu Senbu and others raised their heads, and after two footsteps knocked on the wasteland, a monster comparable to long-haired hiiragi appeared behind them.

It has an incomparably tall figure, overlooking the humans below, and its two strong antlers are intertwined, like the roots of two century-old trees pulled out of the ground.

The antlers were dull, as dry and cracked as his skin, and adorned with black lumps and red conglomerate.

Ken saw something falling behind it, like a cloak, which could tightly cover the monster's body. The clothing was also full of holes and dust, and it was stained with countless stains, more than the butcher used to wipe the vehicle. The veil is even more dirty.

[Hostile: Luling Xibo · Dark Side (Projection)]

【Grade: A】

A message flashed in Ken's eyes.

He gave Collins and the others the order to retreat, and left with Wusenbu.

[Mission: Sanction]

【Progress: 0/1】

[Description: Do not enter the divine punishment field of beast spirits. If you want to leave, you must unite with everyone to withstand the test. 】

Ken finally knew about Hippo's follow-up.

He began to feel a little remorse, maybe ignoring it would save him trouble.

But after thinking about it, the two gods can probably handle the current situation. I just moved the balance a little bit to ensure that more people survived.

"Yo - woo -"

Lu Ling looked at the fleeing army, and didn't rush to chase them down, but raised his head again and let out a deafening roar.

There were dense footsteps in the forest, and countless little monsters ran out, all with deer heads and human bodies, holding rough weapons smelted from branches and ore in their hands.

【Hostile: Hate the Deer Soul】

Those are beasts that died on the wasteland, because of the power of Luling Xibo, they did not return to the soil of Palotusbi, but turned into ferocious avengers and stood up again.

There are a large number of them, and they attack the army indiscriminately.

Kaveda and Barney calmly directed the soldiers forward.

The mercenaries put on a defensive posture according to the results of previous training.

The Animal Clan is also used to seeing big scenes, and even some seniors have seen Xibo with their own eyes, and they didn't show much panic when they saw the God's Punishment Field.

Among them, the most at a loss must be the tribal coalition forces.

They came chasing the deer, thinking about the resources of the Sharp Ice Bay, and wanted to compete with Kavida on the name of Ken Bouvier, but they didn't expect to be arrested by Hippo just after starting the plan Arrived.

Kavida and the others did not evade their responsibilities.

The two sisters used [Old God's Power] at the same time, and the aura as huge as the abyss came here, and they began to guard against the giant deer's attack.

It stretched out several strong arms from inside the cloak, and each hand held a sickle-shaped weapon. No one knew the specific composition of that steel. It might come from the depths of the earth, or it might be a supernatural power condensed. entity.

Ken appeared beside them on his wolf.

"Is it time to have an honest chat about what you're looking for?" he asked.
