Under the influence of an inexplicable attraction, the earth spirit slowly crawled towards the earth-yellow altar.
Rumble!
He sat down in the center of the altar, as if he had lost all his strength.
His shoulders were extremely drooped and squeezed into a cone shape with his sluggish head.
And in this process.
Many small animals walked in his direction.
Centered on the spirit of the earth.
The light yellow light curtain enveloped everything, and the small animals in the dreamland of the hills walked in a daze. After a while, the group of small animals at the forefront had already arrived in front of the vertical pupil.
Matthew and the three of them are floating in the air.
What they saw clearly at this time was that just under the altar, many blue-grey claws emerged silently.
Red sparks and powder fell from the paws.
That was the Ash Claw that Matthew was so familiar with!
Immediately afterwards.
Four huge shadows appeared high in the sky.
This is also an old acquaintance of Matthew.
They are the Ash Lords from the Void.
Under the earth, the color of the deep valley corridor turned pitch black, an aura very similar to the Mark of the Dead spread, and the power of ashes gushes out like a fountain, immediately covering the entire area!
What happened was extremely strange.
The little animals were unaware of this.
They seem to be still immersed in the longing of heading to a brave new world.
Suddenly.
The eye between the Earth Spirit's chest and abdomen further split open and turned into an extremely narrow portal.
However, there is not a fertile land behind the portal.
But a void of darkness and sticky silence!
A strong warning sign emerged in the minds of the three of them.
Matthew took a deep breath and knew that this was the crack leading to the void world.
Seeing the bewildered nature spirits lining up towards the crack.
Matthew couldn't help shouting loudly:
"Earth Spirit!"
"Let's see what's on your stomach!?"
When the Earth Spirit heard this, its drooping head moved slightly.
He glanced down, then raised his head and said with a smile:
"That's a rich new world, don't you see?"
"There are grasslands full of cattle and sheep, plains flowing with honey and milk, majestic snow-capped mountains, and lakes where swans dance. Do you want to come with us?"
Matthew was silent.
Su Ya said calmly:
"It's useless. He is now completely immersed in a sweet dream. Everything he sees is in bloom."
Said.
She suddenly couldn't help but shiver, with a slight look of fear on her face.
Matthew noticed that Sylvia on the left had a similar situation.
"so cold……"
The silver dragon girl murmured to herself.
She seemed to feel the eternal chill when the void came in advance.
Matthew knows.
This is because the two of them are more sensitive and can sense the coldness and terror of the void world many steps in advance.
For anyone living in the material world.
Falling into the void is almost a greater fear than death.
The other party clearly did not use illusions.
But the spirits of the earth and the spirits of nature here were not aware of it, which shows that Ucruz's power penetration into this place has reached a very deep level.
Forget about the spirit of the earth.
It is even possible that the entire Hill Dream has been completely corrupted!
"According to the current trend, the spirit of the earth will be completely torn apart and become a gap from the dreamland of the hills to the void world. After absorbing more power and nutrients, this gap will become bigger and bigger, and eventually
Devour the dreamland of the hills and then affect the main material world!"
Matthew made a quick judgment:
"We must close that rift immediately!"
However, Su Ya shook her head:
"We can't do it. The power of the void is too terrifying. What's more, the dream of the hill has become part of the Mark of the Dead. Anyone who is close to the crack may be affected by the power of the ashes."
"The hill dream has completely decayed, and it will become the nourishment of Ucruz."
"I'm afraid we have to get out of here."
Sylvia rarely refuted Su Ya.
She just held Matthew's hand tightly and whispered seriously:
"If I ask you to run away later, don't refuse, because that will definitely be the most dangerous time."
Matthew took a deep breath.
Just at this time.
The wailing sounds of small animals suddenly came from the edge of the crack——
As several wild wolves approached the crack, their bodies were suddenly ignited by a powerful force.
The fire of ashes burns quickly.
The wild wolf's body was quickly burned to ashes on the ground.
But in this process.
They still howled hysterically.
And as more and more small animals get closer to the soul of nature.
More screams sounded.
These screams seemed to awaken some of the earth spirits.
He seemed to wake up from a long dream and looked around blankly:
"what happens?"
Then he rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked towards his stomach.
His face was full of doubts:
"Why can't I see clearly?"
"Why can't I see clearly?"
"What is it? Isn't it the door to the new world?"
As the spirit of the earth spoke, he rubbed his stomach with two bear paws a little anxiously.
There was no scruple in his movements, and soon, even his own intestines were pulled out!
But the crack was not affected.
Instead, it continues to expand.
"Be still, my child."
"All these are necessary rituals to travel to the new world."
The gentle voice said so.
The earth suddenly became a little confused again.
Can be followed immediately.
More animals cried.
These cries became louder and louder every time, completely awakening the spirit of the earth!
"Um?"
"who?"
Ucruz's voice seemed a little confused.
Su Ya also held Matthew's hand tightly at this moment:
"There are others here!"
However, the person hiding in the darkness has not yet been discovered.
The spirit of the earth suddenly exclaimed:
"What are you doing?"
"Why are you doing this?!"
"How can you kill them? They are pitiful enough!"
He looked in horror at the small animals that kept dying in front of him.
His pupils shrank violently, as if he suddenly saw the truth clearly!
"This is not a new world, this is not a new world!"
He was helpless and slapped the crack on his chest and abdomen, and his voice gradually turned into a cry:
"This is the void of endless sinking, this is the saddest destination of all things!"
"Wow! Prilando, why did you lie to me?!"
Ucruz's gentle voice sounded again:
"I didn't lie to you. I promised to take you to the new world, and I am doing so."
"When residents of the material world enter the great new world of void, they must abandon their original bodies and completely transform into spiritual light."
"This is a necessary ritual for traveling to the new world. Everyone needs to complete it. They come first, and you are the last one."
The spirit of the earth screamed:
"No no no!"
"I don't want to go to that world, and my friends don't want to go to the void!"
Ucruz's voice was still calm:
"You fragile creatures in the material world always like to suddenly regret it after making a major decision."
"It's a pity that it's no longer useful. You have become my believer and my anchor. You promised me to be a bridge between the material world and the new world. You promised me to open the door to the new century with my own hands. You will
This has to be done.”
During the conversation.
The crack in the Earth Spirit's belly became larger.
An icy storm blew in from the void.
All of a sudden.
Nearly half of the animals on the altar were blown to ashes by the storm!
"No, no, no, don't do this!"
See this scene.
The spirit of the earth sat on the altar and cried loudly.
He worked very hard to squeeze the crack with his two bear paws. While squeezing, he shouted:
"I regret it!"
"I regret it!"
Ucruz's mood did not fluctuate, but there was a hint of ridicule:
"Haha, how can you regret such a thing?"
"Well, you...?"
At that moment.
The symbol of the Mother Lotus appears again above the Earth Spirit's head.
He was still shaking his head and beating his chest:
"I regretted it! I regretted it!"
"I no longer believe in Prilando! I no longer want to go to the New World!"
"Whether you are Prilando or Ucruz, get out of me now!"
Poof.
The symbol of the Mother Lotus was extinguished silently.
The projection of the traces of the dead under the altar also slowly faded.
And the four Ash Lords and countless Ash Claws above them suddenly disappeared!
Almost in just a few seconds.
The power of the void in the mountain dream has been reduced by more than 80%!
leftover.
Only the crack in the belly of the earth spirit!
Matthew looked at this scene in surprise.
on the data column.
…
"Tip: Bell, the fallen spirit of the earth, activated the racial ability "Back on His Word".
Going back on his word: As a bear that has been active in the mountain dreamland since ancient times, Bell can go back on any contract or promise.
But every time he cheats, Bell will consume a certain amount of his life."
…
Is this okay?
Matthew was shocked.
"No wonder the teacher called him a cheating bear. This thing is really capable of cheating!"
He patted his thigh and realized that there was indeed no wrong nickname!
Ucruz was probably confused too.
The contract he had signed with the Earth Spirit before, and all the power implanted in the latter's body was driven back to the void.
Except for the crack that is still growing!
Hoo ho ho!
Storms from the void are constantly blowing out of it.
The terrifying power of ashes struck from it.
It took away most of the life near the crack.
"stay away from me!"
The spirit of the earth roared loudly.
The little animals immediately fled in all directions.
He tried hard to squeeze the crack, but it was still slowly expanding.
Now.
The spirit of the earth turned to Matthew with tears in his eyes and said:
"Save them."
"They are innocent!"
As he spoke, he wiped away his tears, hesitated and then said:
"If you can, please save me, wuwu..."
Su Ya stared at the crack with cold eyes:
"Can't be saved!"
"This crack has become one with your body. If you want to close it, you must die."
The spirit of the earth was stunned for a moment, and then silently wiped his tears:
"Then let me die."
"Please take away those innocent little animals as much as possible. I am willing to be killed by you. I am willing to do anything as long as this rift can be closed."
Su Ya didn't say anything.
But there was a trace of regret in her eyes.
Sylvia shook her head:
"We have no way to take away these natural souls, because they also have the power from ashes, which will pollute our dreams."
"As a soul of nature, you should be able to understand this."
The earth spirit looked frustrated.
He suddenly hit his thigh hard:
"Damn it..."
"Why is this happening? If only the seeds of the Holy Oak were still there. It could shield the pollution from the void and take away these innocent people."
Holy oak seeds?
Matthew was slightly startled.
He suddenly felt that somewhere in Miaofa's bag became hot.
Matthew took it out and saw the bag of holly oak seeds he got from Jeff!
He originally kept this thing in the Sanctuary of Life, but when he came to Watcher's Heights during this trip, Matthew originally considered returning it to the Earth Society, so he took it with him.
I didn’t expect it to come in handy!
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
The spirit of the earth became extremely excited. He didn't even ask Matthew how he got these seeds, but said quickly:
"Activate the oak field and inject a little mana into it. Tiny natural dreams will be formed inside these seeds. These dreams are not yet mature, but they can be used to place my friends."
"The seeds of the holy oak have powerful purifying power, and the power of ashes in them will not be transmitted to them."
"I beg you……"
He didn't wait for the earth spirit to finish speaking.
Matthew had already done so.
He also felt pity for these innocent people who were implicated.
The oak field activates instantly.
Between the flow of mana.
Matthew could clearly feel that mini worlds similar to storage spaces were forming in the seed bags one after another.
"Come in quickly."
Matthew called softly.
The next second.
The little animals that were originally running around quickly poured into these mini worlds.
15 seconds later.
All the little animals ran into the seed bag in Matthew's hand!
…
"Reminder: You used the seeds of the holy oak to contain 87 junior nature spirits and more than 1,000 small animals.
This move triggered the resonance between the oak tree and the earth realm. Do you want to explore the deeper parts of the related realm?"
…
Matthew chose no.
Now is not the time to explore territory.
Holding the seed bag in his hand, he felt his palms bulging, and an unprecedented realization emerged in his chest.
"You actually have the seeds of the Holy Oak?"
Sylvia's eyes widened:
"Every seed here has the opportunity to form a new natural dream!"
Su Ya also showed a surprised expression.
But she soon calmed down:
"The crack is still expanding. Even if the shameless bear is captured, it will be difficult for us to destroy it."
"According to my estimation, it needs to be at least close to the intensity of the legendary evocation spell to destroy it instantly."
"And it must be a high-density spell that takes effect slowly or intermittently!"
The silver dragon girl frowned:
"There are some legendary scrolls in my lair, but it's a pity that I came out in such a hurry that I didn't bring any of them with me!"
Su Ya looked at Matthew:
"There shouldn't be any spells you have that can cover and tear cracks instantly, right?"
"Maybe you need to ask other mages for help."
Matthew looked thoughtful.
Just at this time.
The spirit of the earth sighed:
"That's too late!"
"I can feel his power tearing me apart. I am getting weaker and my body is being taken over by him again. In three minutes at most, my whole body may become part of this crack."
"Please think of a way to kill me, wuwuwu...!"
As he spoke, he was wiping tears again.
This action combined with his expression that naturally makes people feel aggrieved makes people feel sad and a little funny at the same time.
"My spells really can't destroy this crack."
Matthew said thoughtfully.
The spell density of Deadly Scissors is not high enough, and even the third instant burst can hardly be said to be able to directly destroy the crack.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Let's run quickly! Hold my hand, I can take you through space in an instant and leave this dangerous place!"
Sylvia said nervously.
Matthew raised his hand:
"etc."
"But I remembered a friend gave me a gift that might help."
Said.
He took out an egg-shaped object from the depths of the Miaofa bag.
"What kind of egg is this?"
Sylvia asked curiously.
Matthew replied:
"This is a bomb."
The silver dragon girl looked confused:
"What kind of egg is a bomb?"
Su Ya glanced at her disdainfully:
"This is an artificer's weapon, not the egg of some creature."
Sylvia seemed very interested in this thing. She reached out and touched the appearance of the bomb:
"Is it a weapon? Then it should have its own name, right?"
Matthew nodded:
""World Peace"."
Su Ya's eyelids twitched, as if she wanted to say something, but finally held back.
Sylvia exclaimed:
"Archantists all like reverse naming, don't they?"
Matthew didn't answer her.
He seized the time and carefully approached the Earth Spirit with World Peace in mind.
"Hold it, and remember not to get too close to the crack. If it gets sucked into the void world, it will be over."
Said.
He threw the bomb far away.
The spirit of the earth caught the bomb in a daze, and looked at Matthew in disbelief:
"You actually chose to believe me?"
"What if I change my mind temporarily and don't want to die?"
Matthew did not answer this question.
He just stared calmly into the eyes of the earth spirit:
"Do you have any last words?"
The Earth Spirit held the bomb and thought for a moment, then grinned:
"I grow a lot of spicy strawberries in the valley south of Bell Mountain. The climate there is like spring all year round, which is very suitable for the growth of this kind of strawberry. You must go over and try it when you have time."
"Nothing else, I wish you good luck."
Said.
He turned his head away in fear, trying to stay as far away from the bomb as possible.
Matthew nodded slightly.
The next second.
A bomb exactly like the one in Earth Spirit's hand appeared in his hand.
In the surprised eyes of the earth spirit.
Matthew suddenly threw the real bomb into the crack.
The next second.
He took the initiative to hold Sylvia's hand:
"Walk!"
Click.
He bit open the button of the remote control with his mouth.
Because the other hand is holding Su Ya.
Whoosh!
The picture in front of me began to distort.
A terrifying force of destruction erupted from the altar.
Then there was a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
The figures of the three people disappeared into the dream in an instant.
The flames immediately burned everything!
At that moment.
In the wisdom palace of Yunduan City.
A short, flat-chested girl who was preparing an alchemical potion suddenly stopped.
She looked up sideways and saw that the indicator light on the helmet antenna suddenly turned flashing crimson!
at first.
She stood confused for a while.
After a long time, she suddenly realized:
"Oh, it's the gift for Matthew!"
A happy expression immediately appeared on her face:
"very nice."
"It seems that the world has become a little bit more peaceful again..."
