Abyssal Dragon

Chapter 21 021. Canglu Tribe
……

The rugged mountain road stretches, the lush branches and leaves are intertwined, and the thorny thorns are entangled together, forming a natural barrier.

Elune stretched out her arm and waved lightly in front of the "barrier", the bracelet made of vines on her wrist flashed a green light, and the originally entangled branches and leaves quickly separated, making way for a gentle path.

Without even thinking about it, Elune walked in first, followed by the other forest elves, who couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Because this is the gathering place of the Canglu tribe, the home of Elune and his tribe.

As Elune and the others walked by, the dense forest behind them returned to its original state and intertwined again, as if someone was controlling it.

The thorns were about five or six meters wide, and at the end of the thorns was a spiked fence made of logs, which seemed to be four or five meters high.

These fences are connected to the big trees, and there is a sentry tower higher than the fences leaning against the trees. It is covered by dense shade of trees, and two forest elves with arrows on their backs can be vaguely seen inside.

The guarding forest elves had already seen Elune and the others, and opened the gate under the fence on their own initiative, and greeted them familiarly.

Elune nodded with a smile, and led the people into the gate - this is the gathering place of the Canglu Tribe.

About ten meters away, the dense forest gradually thinned out, and the trees became taller and taller. Wooden houses appeared in the forest, and the figures of the forest elves were busy back and forth in the forest.

"Carry the seriously injured to the doctor first, and then send the clansmen who died in battle home for proper resettlement."

Elune said with a heavy face, "I'll go see their families when I get back from the High Priest."

"Yes, Lord Elune."

The clansmen responded, and then left according to Elune's instructions.

"Sister Elune, what about those demon corpses?" asked the forest elf who was following Elune.

Elune glanced at the coward corpses, and arranged: "Find a shady hole in the ground and put them there first."

"OK, all right."

The forest elf nodded, and called a few clansmen to take away the dead demon.

Then, Elune walked straight into the depths of the forest, and finally stopped in front of the largest wooden house in the forest.

However, Elune stopped in front of the wooden house, hesitated for a while and never knocked on the door.

At this time, a soft yet serious female voice sounded from the door.

"come in."

"Yes, Aunt Wen Lan."

Elune immediately responded, opened the door and walked into the cabin.

The decoration in the spacious room is simple, there is only a bed, a row of bookshelves against the wall, and a three to four meter long wooden table.

The table is full of large and small wooden jars, and a woman is busy with these jars in front of the table with a book.

The appearance of the woman looks somewhat similar to that of Elune, but her face is more rounded, and her busy demeanor is a bit more calm and aged than Elune's. Her graceful figure is under the dark green robe looming.

The pale yellow hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and the deep red gemstone pendant hung on her fair neck, rising and falling on her chest with her breathing, adding a bit of mystery and charm to her nobility.

"It seems that going out this time is not going well."

The woman put down the book and looked at Elune.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Wenlan,"

Elune lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Wen Lan,

"It's my fault. I blindly chased a demon team and was ambushed by demons."

"How much damage?"

"Five clansmen died in battle, and three clansmen were seriously injured."

Elune's words immediately made Wen Lan fall silent.

The Canglu Tribe was originally a large tribe that had been passed down for thousands of years, with a population of tens of thousands at its peak.

But such a tribe with a long history collapsed after the invasion of the abyss, and countless tribesmen died at the hands of the devil.

If it weren't for the precipitation of the Canglu tribe for thousands of years, I am afraid that the tribe would have been wiped out by now.

Up to now, there are only 200 people left in the Canglu tribe, all of whom are young forest elves, who are the fire seed of the tribe.

Every loss of a member of the tribe is a serious blow to the Huan Canglu tribe, and it makes Wen Lan's heart ache.

After a long time, Wen Lan sighed softly, "Eluen, you will be the patriarch of the Canglu Tribe in the future.

So you must always remember that your primary responsibility is to protect the Canglu Tribe, guarding these remaining tribesmen, not hunting down any demons.

Although they are our enemies. "

"Yes, Auntie, I will be more cautious in the future and will not put my tribe in danger again."

Elune said with guilt on her face, and said firmly.

Seeing Elune's appearance, Wen Lan slowly walked in front of her, held her hand and said earnestly, "Actually, I shouldn't be so strict with you.

You are only 86 years old this year, and you are still underage, so you should not bear these responsibilities.

When I was your age, I played games with my playmates in the forest every day, to see new things..."

"It's all those damn demons! They destroyed our home!"

Elune's eyes were full of hatred.

On the other hand, Wen Lan's face was full of sadness, "Killing is the nature of demons, and they will not change because of your hatred.

The past is not important, children, what matters most is the future of the tribe. "

"Ah, yes, aunt!"

Elune suddenly reacted and said, "You once predicted that there would be a real dragon who would save the Canglu tribe, so do you still remember what the one in the prophecy was like?"

The high priest shook his head slightly, "Other than that sentence, there is no other content."

The abyss invaded, and the Canglu tribe, which was fighting against the demons, was almost wiped out.

This desperate situation made the whole tribe disheartened. In order to find a way out to save the tribe, Wen Lan used a secret method to make a prophecy.

Any spells related to prophecy are fighting against fate, which is the category of advanced spells.

And Wen Lan's behavior of searching for the answer in the future is even closer to the realm of legend.

Although Wen Lan is an expensive high priest, her professional level is only level [-], which is a long way from a saint at level [-], let alone a legend above it.

Therefore, that prophecy caused her to lose more than half of her vitality, and her strength was not as good as before, falling to around tenth level.

It has not fully recovered until now.

Wen Lan even felt a little regretful, she had lost so much, but in exchange for one sentence——

"The wings of the true dragon shall cover the horrors of the abyss."

Elune silently recited Wen Lan's previous prophecy, and wanted to say something, but stopped.

Wen Lan was very smart, and understood that something happened to Elune before he suddenly brought up the prophecy, and asked directly, "Did you meet a dragon?"

Elune nodded.

After getting an affirmative answer, Wen Lan's eyes lit up like flashes,

"Alas, after the invasion of the abyss, the dragons paid a terrible price in order to deal with those demons.

Especially in those battles that destroyed the abyss portal, countless giant dragons died in battle, and even those few great legendary dragons also fell in the battle.

Since then, the figures of the dragons have disappeared, never to appear again. "

A smile appeared on the corner of Wen Lan's mouth, but his face was full of pain, "Since then, I have felt that my prophesied future was wrong, and the giant dragon could not protect us, but I didn't expect it to appear again now..."

Speaking of this, Wen Lan looked at Elune seriously and asked: "Who did you see, what characteristics did you have, and what did you tell me?"

"He... looks like a young dragon, and he came from the abyss."

"From the abyss?"

Wen Lan froze for a moment, then asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"After we were ambushed by demons, a Berserker jumped out and attacked me, and then he suddenly appeared and killed the Berserker..."

Elune recounted the encounter with Dirsas in the forest.
