Chapter 1269: Eat a full meal (I rolled over and hit the wall)

Duanmu Huai doesn't care what Varian wants to do.

Because now he has passed through the portal and arrived in Silithus, the cursed wilderness.

Looking around, there was no green in the whole of Silithus. The sky was dark, and the ground was only covered with broken soil and disgusting traces of corrosion. The cold wind blew in my face, as if even my soul was trembling in this corrupt cold wind. This depressing and crazy atmosphere... Well, it really makes me miss it.

"My goodness, it looks like this place has been badly eroded."

Duanmu Huai put his hands behind his back and looked around. Because it was a special case, the Stormwind mages teleported them to the Cenarion Fortress in Silithus. This was an elf-style fortress building. Of course, it was called a fortress, but it was actually just a bunch of broken houses. Forget it, Duanmu Huai had no intention of getting along well with those long-eared guys.

This time Duanmu Huai came alone, and he sent the others back. The reason was simple. In the Tribunal, Mary was the most experienced in dealing with the Old Ones and their descendants. After all, the world she lived in was a Cthulhu world. As for the others, they still lacked experience in fighting against such beings, so for the sake of safety, Duanmu Huai did not let them come with him.

Before coming here, Duanmu Huai also curiously asked the court mages about the history of Silithus. According to those mages, there used to be a race called Qiraji insects, and they established their own civilization in Silithus. These Qiraji insects are loyal followers of the ancient god C'Thun, and they once tried to conquer the world under the inspiration of the ancient god... Well, it's the same old story again.

All in all, the Qiraji and the ancient gods they believed in were eventually sealed behind the Scarab Wall of Ahn'Qiraj.

Then, what Duanmu Huai has to do next is actually very simple.

"Ecot, give me the terrain scan of Silithus."

"Yes, uncle."

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's order, Aikote on the Shangkou orbital battleship quickly sent a message, and then a terrain scan map of the entire Silithus area appeared on Duanmu Huai's personal terminal.

"Boy, these bugs can really dig holes."

  Looking at the densely packed caves on the map, Duanmu Huai frowned, but this was not surprising. After all, what else can insects do if not dig holes?

Fortunately, the Inquisition already has its own set of procedures for dealing with these guys.

After leaving Cenarion Fortress, Duanmu Huai went directly to the outside of the Beetle Wall. Because of the serious erosion here, there were almost no foreign species in the whole of Silithus except those annoying bugs. Duanmu Huai was not worried at all about accidentally hurting anything.

"Let's do it. First, use a wave of light spears to clean the ground. Then, use the main gun to blow out the thing hiding underground!"

"Yes, uncle!"

Living in Silithus is always a painful thing.

Even in Cenarion Hold.

For the people in this fortress, it was just an ordinary day. Soldiers were patrolling back and forth, checking the surroundings as a matter of routine. No one noticed that in the animal pen of Cenarion Fortress, the flight administrator Baristols, who was in charge of this place, was looking solemnly at the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj that were looming in the wind and sand in the distance.

Although his external identity was just a flight administrator, Baristols had another identity, that is, he was one of the five major dragon clans, the representative of the bronze dragon clan that controlled time. In the last quicksand war, the five major dragon clans joined forces with the night elves and finally sealed the Zala insects and the ancient gods they believed in behind the beetle wall.

However, that was a thousand years ago, and the seal had begun to weaken. Barristols could even sense that the Qiraji were stirring behind the beetle wall, trying to make a comeback. This made him very anxious, but Barristols had no good solution at the moment... Hmm?

  Just as Barristols was thinking about how to deal with the problem as usual, suddenly, a light appeared in his eyes. Barristols subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the sky in the distance. Under the dark sky, he saw dozens of dazzling beams of light falling from the sky, and their target was... the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj! ?

“——————!!!”

Before Baristos could react, the light beams had already fallen to the ground. Then, a dazzling flash of explosion suddenly emerged from the distant horizon, illuminating the entire Silithus like a rising sun!

"Boom, boom, boom!!!!"

The ground was shaking and trembling, and the soldiers of Cenarion Fortress were screaming and trying to keep their balance, but many of them were unable to dodge and fell to the ground. However, a violent wind wave erupted, instantly blowing away all the houses of Cenarion Fortress, and the soldiers were also blown to the ground without being prepared.

"What happened?"

  Barristols lay on the ground, eyes wide open in surprise. Then, as he watched, he saw a thicker, larger green beam of light descend from the sky, hitting the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj again! !

Great, done.

Duanmu Huai folded his arms and looked at the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj in front of him. Oh, there were no ruins of Ahn'Qiraj anymore. There was only a charred pit emitting foul-smelling smoke.

Oh, no, there's still something left.

Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked forward, only to see a decayed and tattered octopus-like monster lying in the middle of the pit, which looked like it had been left there for decades. It was covered with eyes all over its body, even its tentacles... Hmm?

Why does this thing look so much like the thing called the...what's-it-called Demon Pillar that I killed in Chaldea?

What's the point of having so many eyes?

Duanmu Huai complained in his heart while he stretched out his right hand. As he moved, the thick and dark shadow under Duanmu Huai's feet began to gradually extend forward, as if there was a searchlight behind Duanmu Huai, illuminating his shadow all the way until it came into contact with the Thousand-Eyed Ancient God.

“Who is it…?”

And the moment he was touched by the shadow, Duanmu Huai immediately felt the power of the Old Ones coming from the shadow.

"Who dares to do such a thing... Wait, this power, who are you?" "I don't have to answer your questions, scum."

Duanmu Huai was too lazy to get entangled with this tattered Ancient God. The other party had been sealed for a thousand years and was mowed down by the Light Spear and BFG twice. If Duanmu Huai had not wanted to keep it alive, it would have been dead by now. So Duanmu Huai did not hesitate and directly used his power as an Old One to erode and devour the half-dead Ancient God in front of him.

"No, you can't absorb my power, it's mine............!!"

At this moment, the unfortunate Ancient God seemed to have noticed what Duanmu Huai was trying to do, and he desperately shook his body to try to break free. However, Duanmu Huai's shadow also differentiated into dozens of tentacles, which bound him tightly to the scorching ground like vines, and then, like a vampire, he kept devouring the power and soul of the Ancient God.

very good.

Duanmu Huai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his Old Ones experience bar finally started to rise again after many days.

It's not easy to upgrade the experience points of the Old Ones and the God of Pleasure right now. It's a rare opportunity, why not upgrade them to the fullest?

"Stop! Intruder!"

However, at this moment, a roar suddenly emerged from the sky. Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows and glanced in the direction of the sound. He saw several giant dragons flying towards this side in the sky not far away.

Duanmu Huai didn't know that the Caverns of Time guarded by the Bronze Dragon, one of the five major dragon tribes, was in the Tanaris Desert in Kalimdor, not far from Silithus. Duanmu Huai made such a big scene, which naturally attracted the attention of the dragons in the Caverns of Time. Although the dragon tribe has a procrastination syndrome, it depends on the situation. After discovering that the source of this abnormality was Silithus, the Bronze Dragon tribe also immediately went out to check the situation.

But when the bronze dragons came to the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, they were surprised to find that the Qiraji insects and their temple buildings that were originally here had all been reduced to ashes, and the ancient god that was sealed with great difficulty was now lying on the ground like a dead toad, and on the other side, a tall monster was devouring its power!

  This scene immediately shocked the bronze dragon, and he quickly spoke to stop it. Although he didn't know who the other party was, could the power of the Ancient God be swallowed casually?

But for Duanmu Huai... I just finally gained some experience, and you're here to cause trouble for me?

Looking at the bronze dragon flying towards him, Duanmu Huai's face darkened.

"roll!"

Following Duanmu Huai's loud shout, the bronze dragons felt as if a huge thunder exploded in their ears. They suddenly felt dizzy, their bodies softened, and they fell directly to the ground.

As for whether they would die from the fall, Duanmu Huai didn't care. How could a group of big lizards really cause trouble?

  I made myself angry, so I chopped them up and took them back to make roasted dragon legs to eat!

At this moment, the ancient god had completely lost its ability to resist under Duanmu Huai's continuous devouring. It kept wailing and begging for mercy, and even expressed its willingness to be Duanmu Huai's servant. However, Duanmu Huai was too lazy to ask for the submission of these ancient gods. To Duanmu Huai, these ancient gods were more valuable dead than alive.

So Duanmu Huai's power penetrated and absorbed all the way, and then... huh?

Just when Duanmu Huai had almost completely absorbed the power of the Ancient God, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Duanmu Huai could feel that the power of the Ancient God seemed to be fused with some more powerful life form. However, the power of this life form was not as corrupt and evil as the Ancient God, but was full of vigorous vitality... What the hell was this?

Duanmu Huai curiously extended his consciousness along the network of ancient gods that had been completely devoured, and reached out and knocked.

"…………………"

Well, no response.

How about tickling it?

"Hee hee hee."

Just as Duanmu Huai was about to take action, he suddenly heard a chuckle coming from the life form, and then the entire ground shook left and right for a moment before returning to calm again.

“………………Could this be the soul of this planet?”

Duanmu Huai frowned. It was not like he had never experienced something similar before. Gaia in Chaldea was a similar existence. However, this feeling did not have a clear self-awareness like Gaia, but was more like an instinctive reaction, just like a baby.

So this ancient god uses this method to absorb power to survive?

After almost guessing the situation, Duanmu Huai also knew what to do. For Duanmu Huai, it was not difficult to cut off the connection with this star soul. Was it a fake that he was a God of Destruction at the maximum level?

Duanmu Huai used the magic of destruction to completely erase the connection between the Ancient God and the Star Soul, and then swallowed the remaining power of the Ancient God in one breath. In an instant, Duanmu Huai's old progress bar skyrocketed, and the pleasant prompt sound of the upgrade kept ringing.

"Yeah...done."

Duanmu Huai opened his eyes and patted his stomach, as if he had just finished a banquet. Then he looked at the system progress bar in front of him again.

One ancient god is level one and a half... I don’t know how much experience the remaining two ancient gods will give me.

Forget it, let’s talk about it then.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai retracted his gaze, stretched his waist, turned around and left.

  As for those bronze dragons?

None of his business.
