The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 732 Crystal Gate
  Deep in the Tagan Desert, the sun is shining brightly, but there is a thick white fog floating among the undulating earth-yellow hills.

Several native snakemen poked their heads out from the flat sand, curiously observing the thick fog slowly drifting over the dunes, with a look of eagerness flashing in their eyes.

Although there is a huge temperature difference between day and night in the desert, due to the lack of moisture, generally speaking, thick fog rarely appears. At most, faint white smoke appears in the shade before the sun rises in the morning.

Of course, with the changes in the climate of the Green Field Plain, it is not difficult to see fog shrouded in the Gobi Desert near the plain. However, it is actually very rare to have such a scene in the depths of the desert. At least these snake-man natives have never seen them before, so they can't help but pop their heads out of the sand and watch curiously.

"Hiss~~Zixi~~"

The vertical pupils of one of the snake men's eyes suddenly shrank, and he noticed something strange. He quickly revealed the long forked snake and began to talk in the snake language unique to their race.

After being reminded by their companions, the other three snakemen also quickly changed their sights and looked behind the thick fog passing by. The sandy ground that should have been flat and smooth was drifting with the thick fog that covered more than two miles in radius. However, there were messy marks on the ground, as if many creatures were passing by.

After making this discovery, the few snake-men who were hunting were no longer restless. They plunged into the sand like fish in the sea, nimbly hiding under the sand dunes and slowly heading towards the direction of the thick fog. Touch it.

The drifting speed of the dense fog seemed slow, but in fact it was as fast as a galloping horse. The few snake men hiding in the sand and marching could not keep up with their pace. Seeing that the distance between the two was getting farther and farther, they simply climbed out of the sand. A dexterous tail crawled in the soft sand, sliding forward quickly.

The forked snake letter revealed in the air sensed a strange smell, which was far more sensitive than the nose, allowing the snake man to roughly judge the number of creatures hiding in the fog ahead, which was probably more than a hundred. Several snake men looked at each other and reacted in a tacit understanding. One of them turned around and burrowed into the sand, but turned back in the direction where he had hidden before.

Whoosh! ! !
  A powerful arrow roared through the thick fog, heading straight for the slightly raised trace on the sand surface, and quickly moved back. As the entire powerful arrow penetrated into the soft sand, the undulating movements in the sand also stopped. .

Several snake men who were running wildly to chase the thick fog were stunned for a moment, then felt a strong sense of crisis, turned around and fled in all directions.

Whoosh! ! Whizzing! ! !
  Several more powerful bows and arrows flew out, and three snake-men fell down in response. Only one relatively stronger snake-man made a quick leap and used a spear to pull out a shadow behind him to block the shots directed at him. The arrow on his back sent him flying aside.

call! !

The snake man had just breathed a sigh of relief and moved a little faster with his feet. Unexpectedly, a sharp thorn suddenly rose up from the ground, passing directly through the long-tailed epee that was lying on the sand, and then passed through his back. After it was worn out, a pile of stinking blood and a mess of internal organs gushed out of the blood hole and flowed into the hot sand.

The snake man showed nostalgia in his eyes, looking far away in the direction of his hometown. Life gradually drained from his body, until a sharp sword passed across his neck, and a round snake head fell to the ground. At this time, a man in exquisite clothes The elf warrior in grass green gold leather armor showed a handsome and solemn appearance.

sand~sand~
  The leather boots fell on the sand, making a soothing sound. Not far away, behind the three snake men who were still struggling but not dead, another cold light appeared, and then three people wearing hoods showed two pointed ears. The elf thieves each drew out the deadly weapons that had killed the snake-man, and gracefully pulled out a sword flower, shaking off the remaining blood on the sharp sword blade.

After doing all this, the few elven warriors stopped caring about the loot on the ground and chased directly in the direction of the thick fog that continued to drift ahead. Then their bodies were shrouded in the thick fog and disappeared again into the endless earth-yellow sand sea. among.

I don’t know how long this thick fog has been floating. It wasn’t until round pebbles of different sizes and sharp-edged broken and weathered stones gradually appeared in the fine yellow sand on the ground that the thick fog seemed to drift aimlessly. We stopped at the junction of the Gobi Desert and the sand sea.

As time went by, the thick fog in front of me seemed to gradually begin to fade away. When the milky white fog finally disappeared, the creatures hidden inside were finally revealed. It turned out to be a squadron of elves with a size of hundreds of people. Judging from the clothes of the members, all kinds of fighting styles. He has all the positions, is extremely well trained, and has well-equipped weapons and equipment. He is obviously not an ordinary adventurer.

The most eye-catching ones are a dozen elf mages in white robes squatting on the ground piecing together crystal tiles.

The surrounding elves dispersed, guarding the dozen or so elf mages in the center: there were elf thieves and scouts wearing leather armor and mail armor running far away, disappearing into the air as they ran, and began to build the perimeter. Vigilance mission; there are shield warriors, strongmen, and mad warriors holding their own weapons, forming a circle with their pupils outward, looking into the distance; in the sky above their heads, each of the Druid's animal companions is soaring high, overlooking the surrounding area of ​​dozens of miles. movement……

Click! !
  The last crystal tile was placed where it should have been. There was no wind on the ground. The fine lumps of sand were agitated by the breeze and swirled around the crystal creation in front of them. After more than ten minutes, it became turbid and warm. The strong wind calmed down, and the natural energy slowly shrank and merged into the arch-shaped building made of pure white crystal and colorful gems in front of me.

"Teacher, we have completed the assembly task. Now we only need to put in the gems and activate the magic power, and the crystal door can be activated!"

A male elf mage with steamed buns and long gray-white hair slowly stood up, walked to an elf man not far away who was wearing a flowing green robe and long golden hair as bright as light, and bowed to make a report.

The elf man turned around, revealing a face that was as beautiful as a stunning woman, but also had an intellectual aura. He glanced at the nearly five-meter-wide crystal door that exuded a mysterious aura, and nodded calmly.

"Then according to the previous agreement, wait until six o'clock in the evening to activate the Crystal Gate on time!!"

The eyes of the blond elf were not flashing with lightning, but had an invisible aura, and his tone was cold and cold.

"Expand the warning range by ten miles, and the prerequisite for the success of the next operation is to ensure absolute confidentiality!"

"clear!!"

As the recent student of the demigod archmage Garros Bentley, the high-level mage Clint cherishes the rare student spot, especially this time when he went on a mission with his teacher, he showed his talent and talent in front of the teacher. A great opportunity for his ability. Dozens of other students who stayed at the Kingdom Magic Academy wanted to join in but they didn’t have this ability.

Fortunately, in addition to delving into magical knowledge and truth, I also took a professional course on the construction and restoration of war equipment and alchemical tools, so I was selected by the teacher to participate in this operation.

However, when building the Crystal Gate, Clint was also curious about what kind of existence could allow the teacher to use such an important strategic resource as the Crystal Gate, and so carefully hide his whereabouts all the way south, without any trace of his identity. The grace of a demigod.

You must know that a magical device like the Crystal Gate costs a high price comparable to the value of a high-end legendary weapon every time it is activated, and its effect is to open a long-distance portal in the same plane. For elite troops to create surprise effects. Even when fighting the Dwarf Kingdom a hundred years ago, strategic war equipment like the Crystal Gate was only used in a few key decisive battles and achieved good results.

Now for a certain goal in the wilderness, the teacher, a demigod mage, would actually use such a device. As a mage Clint who always likes to get to the bottom of things, he was naturally full of curiosity.

Garros looked up at the red sun, which was still a long way from the western horizon. His cold cheeks were slightly unhappy. Knowledge could not change the laws of nature, so he could only endure it for the time being and wait for the scheduled time to arrive.

With a wave of his hand, several translucent magic eyes suddenly appeared above his head, and then quickly flew towards the south under the control of the powerful mental power of the demigod mage.

…………

Rapids Bay is the most important food production base of the Green Field Tribe. More than 1/3 of the food produced by the entire tribe is produced from the vast land surrounding Rapids Bay.

Due to the needs of production and planting, there has been a Druid research team in the town of Torrent Bay for a long time. On the one hand, it helps local farmers solve the problem of crop disasters and drive away uncontrolled wild herbivores. On the other hand, it It is possible to research and improve better quality grains and breed new crops on the spot.

Benefiting from the existence of these druid scholars, the output of food and commercial crops of the Green Field Tribe has been rising steadily. Every year, the output scale of the previous year will be exceeded, providing the tribe with more stable food and cash crops.

Because of the gathering effect of druid scholars, this has also become a place where the druid students of the Green Lake Town Magic Academy actually learn and perform. Now there are 3-400 druids of all levels studying and researching here all year round. .

The newly adult male hobgoblin Bill Warren is an intermediate level 11 raptor druid. As a genius goblin whose family has high hopes, he is only two levels away from the high-level druid. For a hobgoblin who is just sixteen years old now, the future is bright.

Not only the Warren family has high hopes for him, but even the Greenfield tribe itself also values ​​him very much. A genius goblin who is close to the high level at the age of sixteen will become the hope of breaking through the legendary level in the future. This has become It's a foregone conclusion, it just depends on whether he can embark on the path of legend in the end.

Even if he is unable to break through and find his own path in the end, his extremely rare animal affinity and excellent druid talent will be very useful to the tribe in daily life and combat.

Perhaps because of his talent, Bill didn't like to stay in the bustling town. He preferred to get out of the seemingly prosperous town but actually didn't have many animals, bypassing the man-made planting areas outside the town and going to more remote wilderness. Hang out in the natural environment.

The natural vegetation outside the wilderness adjacent to the Gobi Desert is sparse, and looks desolate and bleak to outsiders. However, in the eyes of Bill, who has a talent for animal affinity, there are countless vibrant little animals hiding in every corner.

In the seemingly flat sand, there is actually a six-eyed sand spider hiding, waiting very patiently for prey to pass by it. Any friction and vibration from the surface of the quicksand will be caught by it and it will judge whether it is a threat or not. Then choose whether to attack or hide.

Under a piece of fist-sized gravel surrounded by a few sparse Haloxylon ammodendron trees, a venomous scorpion was raising its rear tail, its eyes locked on a gigantic beetle that had not yet stopped on the grass blades, a pair of black pincers Open to the maximum, ready to attack, just waiting for this unlucky prey to enter your attack range...

When Bill came to this not-unfamiliar place, several birds flew towards him, and landed directly on Bill's shoulders without timidity, and began to chirp in his ears.

"...What did you say? A group of ferocious big birds are here, chasing your friends?"

Birds actually know how to complain. People with average knowledge cannot understand their calls or what they want to express. But for Bill, who has the gift of animal affinity, this is no problem at all. .

When he perceived the information they wanted to tell him from the simple consciousness of the birds, he suddenly became more curious.

"How big are these big birds?"

Bill's consciousness wrapped up the content he wanted to find out and sent it to the minds of these little birds. The little birds who understood Bill's question started chirping again, and another smart one simply flew into the air and kept flying over Bill's head. Above the space, it flew back and forth, drawing a trajectory similar to that of a bird.

"Oh? Such a big bird is rare in the desert? What kind is it?"

Bill gently stroked the fluffy feathers on the head of a little bird on his shoulder with one hand, and began to think with interest.

From the mouths of these friends, Bill roughly knew the approximate size of the big bird that was chasing them. It was a bird that was far larger than Bill, who was a hobgoblin. This was extremely rare in the desert where there was a lack of large creatures. Yes, it is difficult to see birds of similar size even in the green plains.

It just so happened that Bill had already mastered the vulture's ability to transform, and now he was looking for the next bird to use as a blueprint for transformation. Maybe he could see the specific situation of these big birds and see if they were worth choosing as his next target.

Thinking of this, Bill felt a little excited in his heart, but he did not forget the teachings he had learned. He first used a hazy technique on himself, using sparse shrubs to summon a mini tree man as his guard.

When Bill's body became consistent with the current environment in the desert and was extremely difficult to be discovered, he closed his eyes slightly, held his hands in front of him, and his mental power spread rapidly with his body as the center of the circle.

Soon, in a small bush dozens of meters away, a small bird, less than the size of Bill's finger, with green feathers all over its body, landed safely in Bill's hand. It was the smallest bird in the desert. , but the extremely flexible oriole hummingbird. After the hummingbird landed in Bill's hand, he tilted his head and straightened the messy feathers on his body. He was obviously full of trust and peace of mind for the hobgoblin who summoned him.

After a simple communication and exchange between Spiritual Power and Hummingbird, and finally with a drop of honey as reward, Liyu Hummingbird agreed to let Bill control his body for a short period of time and go to the depths of the Gobi Desert to investigate.

Soon, Bill took control of the hummingbird's tiny body, flapped its wings and flew up. After rehearsing his flying skills in the sky, he made a sharp turn and galloped away towards the desert to the north.
