Shadow Covenant

Chapter 172 "Arrival"

"Oops!"

Woody saw the door of the abyss that was gradually turning from blurry to solidified, and he thought something was wrong in his heart. The main reason was that he didn't expect that Demogorgon would really focus on this remote plane. You know, at this time point , it is very likely that the power it takes to descend is not directly proportional to the souls it receives.

However, thinking back to Rose's divinity that he encountered in the Underdark, Woody felt that it was not so strange. After all, Rose appeared in advance, and it seemed that there was nothing unreasonable for Demogorgon to appear in advance again, but its motive...

Is it really for a little soul?

Woody looked at the sky covered by thunderstorms in the distance, the originally mighty thunder turned pale and powerless at the crimson gate that seemed to be connected to the sky, like a dot.

"Come on!"

His thoughts were like electricity, but he didn't stop in his footsteps. Instead, he stepped forward quickly and said to the bronze dragon through telepathy.

It seemed to be my own reminder, and it seemed that the reaction of the bronze dragon was already half a beat slow. The bronze dragon, which was stunned and stunned, looked at the huge door with a height of more than 20 meters that exuded a terrifying abyss. Suddenly he came back to his senses, spread his wings, and rushed towards Woody without even having time to clean up the scene.

The wobbly posture is definitely not elegant, but Woody himself is not much better at this time, he shuttles and jumps frantically on the swamp between the jungles, and at the same time he does not forget to look back at the formation of the giant gate, estimating the time, Every time I step on it, a piece of mud is splashed, all over my body, hands, and face, like a messy scavenger.

"Come up!"

At this moment, a voice with very different similarities and differences sounded in his ears. At the same time, Woody felt a shadow approaching. Looking up, he found that it was the one that was trying its best to leave under the giant door and soar into the air. bronze dragon.

Come so fast!

It is rare for it to speak this time. When it speaks, it opens its mouthpiece. The strong wind blows its slender tongue under its beak-like nose a little messy, but it still sounds very clear and agile, but the end sound is a little bit Heavy.

Without hesitation, Woody rose and fell, grabbed the dragon claws it protruded, and landed firmly on the dragon claws on the soles of the feet that felt like they were on a marble slab.

After all, although the data of the dragon among the saints, the agility is a constant ten points.

But if you really think that it is slow, you are wrong. Most dragons will understand the specialties related to flying not long after they mastered flying in their infancy. Among them, the specialties that can increase the speed of movement for a short time or even a long time The sea has gone.

"Wing of the Wind", "Flying Expert", "Master of Dragon Wing"...

If you really think that its flying speed is as high as that of ordinary people, then I am afraid that the survival rate of dragon slayer players escaping from the dragon nest will not be as low as 5.00% according to the statistics in the previous life.

In terms of speed, although the giant dragon has no advantage, it has never been a disadvantage.

The reason why Woody took the car was also because of the location of the giant gate, and the direction of his escape was far away from Green Brook Town, so if he wanted to return to Green Brook Town, he had to spend some time detouring. , but it would be much faster if they could hitch a ride with the dragon. While Demogorgon's incarnation was still breaking through the barriers of the planes, they still had time to notify the unprepared residents in the town.

Neither Woody nor the bronze dragon thought about leaving here directly.

Theoretically speaking, if he leaves directly now, there is a high probability that what will happen after him has nothing to do with him. His biggest loss is just the loss of a transport tool. With the hope of survival, he must have turned his head and left without hesitation, without looking back.

But this time is different!
No matter how much he spared his life, he would not use the population of a small town and the merchant group in exchange for his hope of survival. Although he did not cause this incident, he still felt that he was responsible for what happened at the altar. Tell everyone in the small town that when the time comes, they will spread out and run away. How much they can live depends on luck.

It didn't take long for Woody to see a group of teams coming towards him from the long street of the small town, each of them was riding a horse, and one of them was a white horse with phantom structure, which was very bright in the dark night.

It is the caster's fourth-ring spell "Phantom Horse."

And sitting on it is the backbone behind the Angry Winter Merchant Group, the court mage Cecil.

Her sensing ability seems to be better than Woody's. When Woody found them galloping on horseback, Cecil's eyes had already looked up at the dark sky, which was the same color as the clouds, and the dragon that had been leaning against it. Woody on Claws.

The bronze dragon on the top of the head seemed a little guilty. Instead of choosing to stop directly on the only way, it deflected the landing point and chose an inconspicuous forest to fall, and then quickly transformed into the same flower cat just now. Following Woody's side, his footsteps are not as vigorous as before, and every step he takes seems to be extraordinarily heavy.

Apparently, even it found itself in trouble.

After all, even if the aura emanating from the giant gate just now has the inheritance of the dragon, it can't help but feel fear in its heart.

stay any longer...

really will die!
Leaving aside the fledgling Bronze Dragon's mentality when he encountered a demon lord right after his debut, there was the sound of kicking horseshoes from the path in the jungle in the town. Obviously, the Bronze Dragon had an inexplicable connection with Cecil, and she knew it's here.

Therefore, just after Woody took a few steps, he saw Cecil, who came alone on horseback, with a pretty face and a frosty face.

She didn't look at Woody, but at the cat next to him, and said in the most severe reprimand he had ever heard.

"Donnie, have you forgotten what she told you?"

Huamao obviously wanted to defend something, but at this moment, someone stepped forward before its eyes.

It was Woody.

"Your Highness, Cecil, don't waste any more time. Those man-eating apes are followers of the abyss lord. Now that the abyss has opened up, the danger will come soon... T"

With a very clear idea, he directly interrupted the reprimand and blame that should have been entangled for a while with a few simple sentences, and directly led the two parties to the right path.

Hearing the degree of danger described by Woody, Cecil, who was still angry at first, also understood that now is not the time to continue to pursue responsibility, so he could only helplessly stare at the flower cat in the form of a bronze dragon, and then said apologetically .

"Woody, I'm sorry to involve you, I can already feel the breath of the abyss! Just leave it to me."

Cecil's answer made Woody, who had been prepared, look surprised and startled, and there were more doubts in his mind.

Could it be that he was involved in something extraordinary?
Judging from Cecil's expression, the opening of the door to the abyss was clearly prepared long ago.

However, a few hours ago, she hadn't seen through the plot of the local baron. What happened in just a few hours?
Seemingly aware of Woody's doubts, Cecil then added.

"Maybe you're confused right now."

"But please forgive me, because the matter is confidential, I can't tell you more details, but please trust me once, this time we will be safe."

"We will arrive in Rosentre two days later, and we can part ways there."

"I won't let trouble involve you."

……

"Ok."

Although I don't understand why Di Mogaogen can get in touch with this little-known business group, but since the other party is ready, he has the right to be a bystander and just watch the excitement. Anyway, the gods are not involved in the fight Just go to him.

However, on the way of action, I still couldn't help but began to recall what I did to let myself, a little butterfly, incite a tornado that swept across the ocean.

He remembered that there were not so many things in his last life, at least Demogorgon didn't appear so early, or...

In the golden year, there is no appearance in the eyes of the players.

The real debut was when the players were amazed by the strange beauty of Asenland, a sacrifice on a scale that swept over more than 20 city-states made this demon lord who had killed dozens of heads, crowned the title of Demon King among the demons The oldest primordial demon in the game officially appears in front of the player.

First the Spider Goddess, and now Demogorgon...

Originally, if the sacrifice was enough to respond, it would be normal for it to appear, but now it is all arrears, even if it can be explained by a guarantee, but looking at Cecil's reaction, Woody always feels that there is more than just the soul behind this incident So simple.

……

On the other side, Cecil felt relieved when she saw that Woody did not continue to ask questions. After all, in her heart, Woody, who had the blessing of the bronze dragon, was to some extent his own, and he could hold back anything if he really wanted to. Not to mention, for her who is cheerful and talkative, it is not a big challenge.

Of course, this bit of guilt was quickly annihilated after the cat appeared on the stage, and turned into anger. If Woody was not still here now, then a scolding would definitely be indispensable.

After all, she had said countless times to tell her not to act without authorization, but she never expected to sneak out directly under the cover of Woody's breath while she was not paying attention.

Thinking of this, she felt a headache. She was already in her 60s and [-]s, and she was no longer a child, so she still couldn't be more rational.

Of course, it would be useless to say more now, and she could only hold back the desire to tell and bring it with her again.

"Woody, now we're going back to the town, let me ask the guards to bring you a horse."

Riding on the phantom horse again, he retrieved the bronze dragon who carried out the justice of the pry family, and Cecil had no point in staying here.

"Need not."

Woody refused bluntly. He sensed the position of the onyx black horse, took out the onyx statue directly, and used his psychic ability.

Cancel, call again.

All in one go.

In the blink of an eye, a two-meter-tall black horse returned from the material plane to the astral world, then reappeared on the material plane, returned twice, and immediately appeared beside Woody.

"Well, that's good!"

Seeing Woody summoning the black horse, he also knew that what he was holding should be a magical object, so he rode the phantom horse and headed towards Green Brook Town without asking too much.

Woody also got on his horse and followed behind her with a heavy heart.

Farther away, the breath of the abyss has soaked the sky, revealing a color that does not belong to the night, and the fire cloud spreads rapidly, and accompanied by the vibration of the branches blown by the desolate and dilapidated wind, the trunks are bent, and the whirling of fallen leaves is even louder. Absolutely.

Strong wind, thunder, and dim yellow light.

A vision of the end of the world.

And Woody and Cecil stared at the pressure and returned to Green Brook Town. At this time, the town and the outside of the town had quieted down. The death of the man-eating ape priest freed Cecil, and the remaining monsters were almost It settles down easily without much effort.

The townspeople looked at Woody and the others with respect, and they knew that it was this group of outsiders who saved them.

As soon as Cecil returned to the small town, the first order he issued was to let everyone return to their homes, close the doors and windows, and not go out. The members of the business group also returned to their residences, and they should not poke their heads out easily. .

Everyone had witnessed Cecil's strength, and naturally had no objection to her order. Soon, the inside and outside of the town were completely empty, only fallen leaves swirled on the long street.

Woody also lived in the baron's manor directly with other members of the business group. Everyone else was rummaging through boxes and chests, but he looked towards the direction of the town through the tallest window in the attic of the manor.

That was where Cecil stayed just now. Obviously, she has a way to deal with the demon lord from the abyss plane.

However, with her level of spellcaster who has just reached the threshold of a high-level mage, it seems that she is a bit overconfident in the face of the demon lord who is comparable to the legendary demon lord in his incarnation.

But Woody didn't doubt her words at all. After all, as a mage, he was still a spellcaster with his back on a big tree. Naturally, the means in his hands were not limited to his own strength. Sometimes foreign objects were more powerful than the spellcaster himself.

It's like the prayer candle that is equivalent to the legendary thug, which can directly summon the legendary servant of the other world, let alone the incarnation of the demon lord, even if the demon lord really comes to this plane, they will not be afraid .

And even if Cecil is not holding an artifact like a prayer candle, it is probably not much different.

Soon, as the blood eroded the curtain of the night, the earth shook and the mountains shook, as if someone was walking above the head, and everyone felt the threat from the abyss slowly approaching.

They all stopped what they were doing, couldn't help looking out through the window, and then saw a scene that was unforgettable for them all their lives.

I saw a huge creature with a height of 40 meters and a whole body made of smoke, just like a big mountain, approaching the wall of Luxi Town.

And as it walked and the clouds gathered, its body became larger and larger.

"Two... two-headed orangutan?"

Some people were so surprised that they couldn't speak, they could only stare dumbfounded at the demonic incarnation gathered by the aura of fear.

And Woody looked at this rather peculiar demon lord.His face was dignified.

Demogogan.

It really came out...
