Chapter 354 The Zendikar Swamp

Something white flashed in front of my eyes, vaguely resembling a girl.El thought it was Tika at first, but then he recalled that the girl was still in Istaron, and in the name of the White Bishop, she was in charge of the undead warriors in Istaron, and she didn't know how she was doing now. up.

The turbid consciousness gradually came to his senses. When El opened his eyes and saw what was in front of him, he found that it was just a broken white curtain, and he himself was lying among the ruins of bricks and stones, his bones all over his body were aching. .

What happened?Still dizzy and unable to react, El subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his head, and his hands were covered in blood.He tried to shake his head twice, and finally he could hear some sounds in his ears—as if someone was fighting.

fighting?That's right, wasn't I fighting that huge monster just now?And then... the later memory suddenly became blank.Al held his head and raised his head, seeing the big hole in the ceiling, he felt enlightened.Judging by this appearance, he might have been hit in the head and fell into a nearby dwelling.It's just that he didn't expect that monster's real strength to be so terrifying that it could make him unable to dodge in time.

Leaning on the wall and walking to the door, El cautiously opened the door and looked out, his pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a pinprick, and the scene outside made him fall into a huge shock.

The fierce battlefield in my impression has calmed down, and the street is still that street, but now it has been covered with a thick layer of creep.On the road and on the roof, there are huge white fungi growing straight everywhere, and huge umbrellas almost cover the sky.The remaining moonlight fell from the gap, turning into strands of dreamlike rays, unknown creatures gleaming like fireflies floating up and down in those mottled rays of light...

What happened?How long has it been since I lost consciousness?Facing such a beautiful world like a fairy tale dream, El was at a loss in his mind.He subconsciously looked to the north. General Hank had organized the night watchmen to set up a temporary defense line on the street there, but at this moment, there was nothing on that street.I don't know if the bones of human warriors are hidden under the thick creeper, but at least on the surface, this peaceful world is completely different from the huge monster he has seen, and there is no danger at all.

The less he felt the danger, the paler El's face became. He didn't know what happened and why he survived while the others disappeared.Even if there was an accident, Tiana could at least save him and rescue him, so why would she leave herself here alone?

Why not?Another voice asked back in his head.You have saved her so many times, when did she save you?You don't even know her true identity, so how can you know her true thoughts?

No, wait a minute, she saved me, do you think I'm really out of my mind?El patted his head and complained in his heart.

You mean the time you met Princess Dixing, don't forget that you were carrying important information at that time, even if she didn't speak, the army would rescue you.Look at the reality clearly, idiot, she just discovered her conscience, when she is in a good mood, even kittens and puppies will save her, even you are nothing more than that.

To shut up……

Be careful, fool, and don't lie to yourself, you know that woman is queer.Why hasn't she used that Holy Light Sealing Sword before?Can use her own blood to transform into light elements, how divine is she?Are you not curious at all?Or do you simply not want to know the truth?

To shut up……

Anyway, she is a woman, no matter what her identity is, she is a woman after all, don't you know the easiest way to deal with a woman?Want to know her secret?Just get her into bed!Or you can just use force...

"Have you said enough? You bastard! I swear you'll tear it down if you say one more nonsense, do you believe it?" El slammed his dragon tooth bow on the door frame and gritted his teeth.

"Is there something to do with me?" Ludwig's surprised voice came from the side, El's face froze, and he turned his head to see the Fallen Leaf Sword Master squatting behind the wall, warming up a fire, with a wooden stick in his hand. Picking up a bunch of sliced ​​mushrooms on a stick, he stared at himself in surprise.

"What's going on?" El stared dumbfounded at the grilled mushrooms in Cyprus' hands, then looked around, slapped his head and said angrily, "Why did you drag me into the illusion again?"

The Fallen Leaf Sword Saint has long since disappeared into history, leaving only a projection. In Cyprus's own words, it is impossible for him to appear in the real world.However, now that he actually appeared in front of him, it was absolutely impossible for this place to be the real world.

"Speak clearly, what is another?" Cyprus bit off a piece of mushroom, chewed it, spat it aside with a bah, and said angrily, "Don't you know how to see with your eyes? This is not the place of human beings! "

The big mushroom looks like a primeval forest. Of course, this cannot be the territory of human beings, or it cannot be an illusion designed by human beings.Cyprus' words made El calm down quickly. He raised his head, his eyes glowed with blue light, and looked around.

There is almost no difference between a truly high-level illusion and reality. It can be said that the basic laws that are exactly the same as the real world are constructed out of thin air, and magic is used to create a world that is infinitely close to the real world.For example, the illusion left by Adrian the Thief King and the Sword Master of the North Wind back then can almost be confused with the real one.The rune of insight can perceive the nature of the illusion, but cannot discern the reality of the creation in the illusion.

But here, when El really opened his eyes, what he saw were flowing energy veins.Although the illusion in front of me looks beautiful, it is actually a show that is not useful. Simply put, the world has just completed the foundation, and those illusions have not yet been transformed into reality.

Maybe it noticed El's actions, the world began to flow slowly, and the surrounding huge mushroom forest moved away a little bit, and a huge rhizome bulged from the ground.The huge rhizome rolled down in front of El and split in two, revealing the old man hidden inside.

"The Prophet—Muhammad? Is this your fault?" El asked with raised eyebrows.He and Tiana had seen this old man that night, and the old man in his impression seemed to be a bit more decrepit than the old man in front of him, as if he was about to die in his dying days.

"I thought it would be that little girl, but I didn't expect that you, a young man, are also talented. Istaron is really full of talents." The prophet sighed with emotion, and smiled at El: "This is not an illusion, but me. spirit world. Welcome to Zendikar Marshes, the home of my people."

"Zendikar Swamp? That's right, it really is the remnant of the Kor tribe." Hearing the self-introduction of the prophet, Cyprus sneered, and said with a curled mouth: "I haven't fully remembered the big mushroom I saw earlier. , until I heard you mention Zendikar just now, this is a taboo name. The Kor tribe who worshiped the ancient evil gods as true gods should have been extinct... Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, isn't it yourselves Is it the consequence of dying?"

"Unexpectedly, there are people who remember that period of history. I don't know who you are?" The prophet looked at Cyprus twice in surprise, then suddenly lowered his head and sighed: "Our wish is just to return to our homeland. You humans seem to have some extreme methods, but these are not important anymore..."

"Since it's not important anymore, why don't you let us out and let's sit down and have a good talk?" El said with a nonchalant smile while holding the wind mark on his waist calmly.

"The chessboard of fate has begun to turn, and you and I are just pawns on the chessboard. In the eyes of those chess-playing beings, the living space we fought so desperately for is just a joke." The prophet turned a blind eye to El's obvious vigilance, hung down The eyelids seem to be talking to themselves.

"Don't be on guard, the world has begun to collapse, which means that he can't hold on any longer." Cyprus threw the grilled mushroom aside, walked to El and said in a low voice.

"I can't hold on anymore... Is this necessary?" El couldn't help asking.Although the war was first launched on my own side, war is only a means to achieve the goal after all.Negotiations were not impossible between the exiles and the Brotherhood, nor was there room for compromise.But they seem to be self-harming from the beginning, and in the end even Hercules Hagnan and the prophet in front of them are sold out. What's the point of doing this?
"Young man, you don't need to understand the behavior of our Kor people, you just need to know the result. And I'm not seeking your forgiveness now, but revenge on that Highness! Kor people have revenge, If there is a favor, we must pay back, since that Highness regards us as ants, then we should let her taste the absinthe from the Kor tribe!"

The Prophet suddenly raised his eyelids, looked directly at El, and said word by word: "Do you think the destruction of Istaron is just a coincidence? Do you think the destruction of Sword Castle is also a coincidence? No! It was all planned. The conspiracy within! The gods are about to correct the course of this world, and human beings are not reconciled to the resistance of fate. The great will of the race is giving birth to heroes who challenge fate, and the gods send apostles..."

The world suddenly shattered.Before the prophet finished speaking, the surrounding mushroom forest seemed to be torn apart by an invisible big hand, and the ground under his feet rotted into a huge quagmire, instantly engulfing his body.The prophet's voice stopped abruptly the moment he fell into the quagmire, and then, a palm made of mud protruded from the quagmire and grabbed El.

"What are you still doing!" Cyprus grabbed El's arm, and at the same time, the fingers of the other hand closed together into a sword, pointing at the huge muddy palm, and the mud turned into flying catkins, and the whole body The world shook violently.
