Chapter 38: I think talents should be the protagonists of this world
In the jungle, where no one had ever broken into before, a tall and tall man pushed aside a leaf, and a "high wall" that stretched with no end in sight appeared in front of him.
But he understood that this was not a high wall, it was just the end of a vine that weirdly extended from the vine.
It was exactly the goal of his trip.
He took out the ritual stone tablet, walked to the foot of the "high wall" little by little, and started the ritual with the help of a low-level weird power. This was the method taught to him by Helfas.
The light surged up and covered the existence where the high wall was.
Although the ritual light was insignificant compared to the hugeness of the vine, the pillar behind the light, whose personal power was so high, locked onto the existence represented by the vine in an instant.
The strong man sat down cross-legged, making a relaxed posture and looking straight at the changes ahead.
In the light of the ceremony.
He seemed to see the figure waving goodbye to him again. Before everything started, the other party had approached him to discuss the entire plan. Even the people on the list were personally selected by him.
The other party held an oil lamp, looked at the map of the Full Moon Forest on the wall, and pointed at the location of the tunnel.
"The first step is to weaken the dragon's power, and even let his assistance become our strength. If that dragon happens to ask us for someone, then we will send it to him."
"In the second step, I will try to seal it, but I may fail because the weirdness is different from ordinary weirdness, but I still want to try anyway. If I can succeed, we can save a lot of money."
"But once it fails, we still have to perform the third step."
"If the second step is not successful, the dragon will definitely be completely angered, and he will definitely want to seek revenge and vent his anger on us."
"We will lead it into the jungle, and while you are here, I want to use the weird power of that vine to deal with that dragon."
He wanted to ask something, but Helfas continued.
"In addition, there is a preliminary plan."
"If the weird vines hadn't been able to swallow him, he would have been frightened and would have run madly towards the canyon."
"Then we can find a way to push him into the canyon and use the power of the temple to trap him. No matter how strong he is, he will lose all his power when he comes here."
Helfas finished his idea in one breath.
Find the enemy's weaknesses, weaken the enemy's strength, and use external forces to use your own advantages.
There was only so much he could think of.
The captain of the demon hunting team looked at Helfas. Even he could see the huge price and risks involved in this plan.
Anyone who implements this plan will almost have to pay the price of death, including Helfas.
he asks.
"Is it really necessary to do this?"
"Even if we lose to that dragon, can we find a way to retreat?"
"And, for our sake and the merchant's hatred, is it worth it for you to do this?"
Helfas asked him only one question: "If we give up here, can we still find a place like this, and can we build such a city again?"
Captain of the Demon Hunting Team: "Then let's negotiate peace with that dragon. With your status, we can definitely do it."
"He just wants someone to help another dragon gain wisdom, so give it to him, as much as you want."
"No matter how many people there are, they are not as important as you, Lord Helfas."
Helfas looked at the captain of the demon hunting team, but still rejected his second proposal.
"Don't you understand yet? That dragon is going to build a weird world."
"If he can create a dragon with wisdom, he can also create two, three, and countless dragons."
"This is not the hatred of merchants, or the wisdom of a dragon, but the struggle between humans and monsters for the ownership of the land of the Full Moon."
"by that time."
"We have no hope anymore. People will be completely reduced to weird food and weird slaves."
Helfas found this kind of thing unacceptable, but the captain of the demon hunting team was unmoved after hearing this.
"So what, this is a weird world."
"There's nothing wrong with us going from weird food to weird slaves."
"As long as you, Lord Helfas, are still leading us, that will be enough."
Then Helfas's eyes became extremely sharp in an instant, and he spoke to him in an almost stern voice.
"I don't think so. I think talents should be the protagonists of this world."
"I don't want to see the tribe I established become slaves to weird things, and I don't want to see people willing to become weird food."
Helfas shook his head, and then continued.
"This is not what I want. I have been here for so many years and have done nothing to see this ending."
After hearing this, the Demon Hunter Captain was stunned.
Are people the protagonists of this world?
He didn't dare to think so, the entire tribe didn't dare to think so, and even all the dragon people living on this continent didn't dare to think so.
But when this sentence came out of Helfas's mouth, he had infinite associations in an instant, and then he couldn't suppress it.
"I see."
"Lord Helfas, so that's what you think."
He no longer asked if it was worth it.
If the answer is this, nothing will matter anymore.
"I will arrange the candidates, but I hope you can leave the second step of the plan to me to implement."
Finally, he sent a list to Helfas.
He and Helfas personally sent those people to their deaths, which also kicked off the war between humans and monsters.
Memories end at this moment.
The power of Zizhu came and locked onto the huge vine in the distance. Although the light was not strong but fleeting, announcing the failure of the ceremony.
But the huge vines were completely aroused by the power of Zizhu. In panic, it gathered up all the vines and turned them into a ladder to the sky.
Then.
Densely packed vines stretched out in all directions like a blooming flower.
Some reach into the sky, and some cover the earth.
The captain of the demon hunting team looked at this terrifying scene and thought of Helfas' words again.
This is also a weird thing, and it is just one of countless weird things. In a world where weirdness is so powerful that it makes people despair, how could anyone dare to say such a thing?
He turned his head and looked in the direction he came from, and suddenly asked.
"Can people really become the protagonists of this world?"
He doesn't know, but he is willing to pay all the price to fight for any chance to lead to this road.
The vines overwhelmed him in an instant.
At this time, the insects, snails, and spiders running wildly on the ground in the distance suddenly stopped, and the evil dragon in the sky looked at the crazy vines in disbelief.
"team leader?"
The demon hunter controlling the spider monster thought of something and shouted.
The leader Helfas looked into the distance.
He knew that the first group of people who came to him through the jungle were missing one more person.
The companion who helped him establish the hunter team, established the guard and witcher system, and angrily scolded the young men for their hard training at the training ground is no longer there.
He didn't know how many people would die after making this decision, but with each death, he became more and more desperate.
And in the sky.
The arrogant dragon looked at the phantom vines coming like a huge wave, covering the world, and finally showed a horrified look.
He no longer cared about chasing the people below, and immediately turned around and wanted to fly towards the distance.
Yes, he flies very fast. If he were faster, those vines would definitely not be able to catch up with him.
But he didn't notice that he was circling and chasing him all the way close to the jungle and the ground. He was already very close to the ground at this moment.
As for the Black Iron Tribe people who had fled in a hurry before, he seemed to have been frightened out of their wits. At this moment, facing the eruption of strange vines, they were not thinking of running away, but were attacking him again.
"Keep him!"
"We must not let him escape. If he escapes, everyone in the tribe will die, and the entire Full Moon Land will be destroyed."
The evil dragon may not be the most powerful monster, but at this moment, his threat far exceeds all the ordinary monsters in the Full Moon Land.
The stone sword stretched out toward the sky, and the strange eye locked onto the evil dragon again.
Immediately afterwards, the tentacles on the forehead of the ruby red snail car loosened, revealing a figure sitting on it, and the slowing power once again covered the evil dragon's body.
The strange spider on the side also aimed at the evil dragon, spread out a large web and pounced on him.
"Roar!"
The evil dragon roared as hard as it could, vibrating its wings constantly, and ran towards the distance.
He vigorously resisted the power of the Evil-Eye Stone Sword, broke away from the red snail's deceleration circle, and spit out thunder fire over and over again to burn away the cobwebs that were constantly wrapping around his body.
Slowly flying in the opposite direction to where the vines were spreading.
Under the earth, although the three spiders, snails and insects could not fly, they were always following him.
Constantly dragging his footsteps, constantly pulling him down from the sky.
The evil dragon was eager to get out of control. He burned the spider webs thrown at him, blocked the arrows fired at him, and attacked the people below in panic.
But his rhythm was obviously messed up, and his attacks were obviously not as effective as before.
But the three people below are becoming more and more skilled in cooperating.
The more anxious and panicked he became, the less able he was to break away from the three people's cooperative control. He could only feel the overwhelming shadow gradually approaching from behind.
He wanted to stop and pounce on the ground to deal with the three people completely before running away, but he was worried that there was not enough time. Even if he spent the time to deal with the three people, they would be covered by the huge wave of vines.
In this moment of hesitation, the opportunity flew by.
Finally, the vines behind him got closer and closer, and were no longer far away from him.
At this time, he just happened to fly over the oil bread farmland, but the good news is that the momentum of the huge wave of vines was much smaller.
At least, it only covers the ground and part of the low altitude here, instead of occupying the sea of clouds.
What's more important is that the power of the three Helfas is also becoming exhausted, and their restraint and control over him is gradually weakening.
"Roar!"
The giant dragon burst out its final strength.
He folded his wings and rushed toward the sky in a rotating manner. He neither wanted to rush into the canyon, nor did he want to be dragged away by the terrifying vines behind him.
But at this time, the Biphasic Demonic Insect jumped up regardless of everything and wrapped itself directly around the evil dragon.
It raised the evil-eye stone sword high and inserted the sword directly into the scales of the evil dragon. The stone eyes opened for the last time, and the huge force dragged the evil dragon down.
The giant dragon let out a painful cry.
On the ground, the volute of the red snail was broken, but it still aimed hard at the evil dragon and sucked it towards the ground.
The strange spider spit out its web, and this time it finally caught the evil dragon.
Drag the evil dragon hard to prevent him from flying.
They took action one after another, ignoring the huge wave of vines that came behind them like a tsunami, and only targeted the evil dragon.
When we got here, only the three of them were left.
Everyone who set out did not flinch. Some of them might really have hatred for the dragon, and some of them might be doing it for the tribe.
Some, just to follow Helfas.
And Helfas seemed to be crazy, trying desperately to hold back the dragon. At the beginning, he might have been because of his responsibility as the leader, for a certain vision, but now it was also because of everyone who died.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the dragon roared again.
His roaring voice became trembling, and he was extremely annoyed and angry.
"Herfas!"
"Why?"
"I'm not your enemy, why would I do this?"
"Why are you doing this?"
Helfas didn't say anything, he just opened his mouth and bit the dragon's neck fiercely.
The evil dragon trembled and delivered a final blow to the distance, and terrifying thunder and fire spurted out from his mouth.
only.
I don't know if it was because the Bipolar Demonic Insect bit his neck, or because he panicked and the thunderbolt shot missed.
The spitting lightning organ didn't hit anyone, but hit an empty space.
Helfas controlled the Biphasic Demonic Insect to bite the evil dragon tightly, watching as the evil dragon completely lost its strength and fell directly to the ground.
The heavy body hit the ground heavily.
And behind him, the overwhelming vines finally arrived.
"Won?"
Helfas couldn't see behind him. He only felt that the body of the Biphasic Demonic Insect and the evil dragon were entangled with something. He struggled out of the body of the Biphasic Demonic Insect and grabbed the parasitic bow and arrow on the side.
Falling to the ground.
When he fell from a height of several meters, he looked back.
He saw the dense vines turning into a huge wave hundreds of meters high and covering him, even though this was already the end and aftermath of the "vine wave".
He saw that the strange spider running at the back, dragging the evil dragon with all its strength, was the first to be covered and made no sound.
The vines also rushed towards Helfas, and it seemed that he had no way to escape.
But this time.
The businessman driving the gem snail car stood in front of Helfas. A ball of flesh and blood was ejected from the broken volute, wrapping Helfas and crashing into the direction of the canyon.
Helfas looked at the merchant. The female leader who brought the herdsman to join Helfas was much older than before, but even though she was old, she still looked capable and neat.
Just like she once led all her people to choose Helfas without any hesitation, she chose Helfas again.
She expressed her expectations to Helfas.
"Great Lord Helfas, take good care of the children in the tribe."
"Then, build an equally great city."
Before Helfas could respond, he saw a huge wave of vines swallowing him up.
——
Helfas was wrapped in flesh and blood, and the parasitic bow and arrow came out of his hand, and he fell heavily into the lake.
We have reached the edge of the canyon here, and going further inside is the scope of the temple's influence.
The crazy vines spread to this area like a tsunami and began to shrink, as if they had hit an invisible wall, or were afraid of something.
If the power of Zizhu and the unsuccessful sealing ceremony frightened it, then the large cave and temple in the distance at this moment calmed it down.
That's it for Fujinami.
Then began to retreat.
But just now it raged uncontrollably and caused terrible damage.
The boundless jungle outside was in a mess, many of them were flattened into a blank, and all living animals disappeared into it.
Helfas crawled out of the lake and stood up wetly. Not far away was a stone monument only one meter high.
He stood alone by the lake, looking at the scene in the distance.
Seems a little confused.
But what Helfas didn't expect was that at this time, not far from his side, a voice came from the place where he lived and the workshop.
"Why?"
"Herfas?"
The voice was very familiar, but Helfas's expression suddenly changed.
That was clearly the voice of the evil dragon.
The dragon body is gone, but the dragon is not dead yet?
Helfas immediately looked at the parasitic bow and arrow that fell by the lake, but before that, a bolt of thunder exploded directly towards the sealed room, blasting it out of the control range of Helfas' consciousness.
At the same time, it also knocked Helfas to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Helfas could only move his eyes slightly, looking in the direction of the thunder, and saw a strange shadow slowly coming out.
It was an organ beating like a heart, flashing with electric light, pulling one black iron creation after another.
It swallowed a large amount of black iron from the blacksmith's workshop, and gradually condensed a temporary god-like body, which appeared in front of Helfas.
Helfas suddenly understood.
After reaching the opponent's level, the real core is not the body, but the organ.
What he doesn't know is.
That dragon has been collecting black iron. In fact, it is reshaping and transforming its body bit by bit, hoping to finally complete its life template.
But now all this has been ruined by Helfas.
The young man looked extremely embarrassed. He had lost most of his strength, which could not be regained in a short time.
He walked towards Helfas, still saying the same thing.
"Why?"
"Why?"
He walked over little by little, trampled Helfas's hand off with one kick, and then kicked him to the edge of the lake, rubbing a mark on the ground.
Before Helfas could cry out in pain, he felt as if his chest had been hit by a huge metal hammer, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, blocking all his words.
The evil dragon in human form grabbed Helfas's neck and lifted him into the air. Half of his body was numb, and half of his body was feeling pain that penetrated into his bones.
Blood kept pouring out of his throat and flowing down from the corners of his mouth.
The evil dragon felt that he was not angry enough. He stretched out his finger and stabbed Helfas's body like a steel knife, creating a bloody hole.
Each hole is not fatal, but it is extremely painful.
Long's eyes were fixed on Helfas, and he questioned him hoarsely.
"Why?"
"Ah, tell me, why?"
"Why do you do this?"
He was so angry that he felt that Herfas was simply a lunatic.
An incomprehensible madman.
To fight him to the death for a group of mortals is really crazy and downright stupid.
But as Helfas's aura gradually weakened.
The evil dragon saw Helfas looking like he was about to die, and he stopped his hand again.
At this moment, Helfas didn't even have the strength to move. His mouth was full of the taste of rust, and the severe pain combined to make his body tremble continuously.
He didn't know whether it was due to excessive blood loss or excessive pain, but his eyes felt black.
He was held high by the young man's neck, his head lowered and looking at the ground, but his eyes seemed to be unable to see anything clearly.
All he could think about at this moment were the figures of other dead people.
It seemed like it was all in vain.
"Am I not capable enough?"
"Or just bad luck?"
"Or maybe the dragon is too powerful?"
"Am I too impatient? Am I not ruthless enough? If people die too many times, I will lose my composure and be reluctant to let go. But if I wait any longer, his power will become stronger. My winning rate
It’s even smaller.”
“What is the right thing to do?”
But at this point, thinking about all this seems pointless.
He made a plan based on his own abilities. He used all the power he thought he had, and took advantage of the weaknesses and flaws exposed by the opponent. He borrowed the weird power of the vines, and also took advantage of the temple's terrain.
It's just that fate is beyond his control. He has lucky moments and extremely unlucky moments.
But in the end.
The success or failure of all this is not up to him.
The evil dragon threw the seriously injured and dying Helfas to the ground, and then looked into the canyon.
"Herfas."
"I will let you watch the tribe you established disappear little by little, and kill all these people."
"Let you know the difference between existences like us and mortals."
The evil dragon looked down at Helfas, and his voice gradually became calmer.
"You really regard them as your companions, but you regard me as your enemy."
His voice was full of disappointment, but vaguely, there seemed to be some envy.
Helfas leaned against the stone monument by the lake. His vision was dark and blurry. He could only see the outline of the other party overlapping each other, but he could still hear the voice clearly.
Since he couldn't see clearly, he simply closed his eyes.
His chest was beating hard and he spoke intermittently.
"Don't you understand yet?"
"I'm dying."
He said.
"Weirdness never dies, but I do."
"We are different. I am not your companion, I am just a mortal."
"look!"
"My blood...is like this, I am just an ordinary flesh and blood body."
"I was born like this, no...it's not weird."
But after hearing what Helfas said, the young man didn't believe it at all. He seemed to have heard the most ridiculous and bizarre answer in the world.
"Born with the form of a god?"
"You said that we are just imitating the form of God, and you were born to be a God?"
This kind of answer seemed to the young man as ridiculous as someone saying that he was born a god.
He didn't feel that this was a straightforward statement, but more like a high-minded bragging by some kind of being.
But by this time, Helfas didn't care anymore.
He raised his lowered head and placed it against the short monument, and this posture finally allowed him to speak smoothly.
"Not God, that's just me."
"I don't even understand."
"Why does the god you talk about look like this?"
Young Dragon: "You have forgotten too many things."
At this time, the young man Long raised his head.
He suddenly saw a figure appear above his head, it was a dragon.
He recognized the other party and said with great surprise.
"Look!"
"Our true companions are here."
Just looking at the direction the other party came from, the young man Long felt very strange.
The dragon seemed to have flown down from the cliff next to the canyon.
——
A bearded man with the form of a god stood on the cliff.
I don't know when he woke up from his confusion and became like this, and then he followed his feeling and came to the canyon.
He watched the vines in the distance sweep in strangely, and then slowly recede.
Then.
He looked down and noticed the movement below.
He saw a strange man grabbing another seriously injured and dying man, as if questioning him, and then threw him to the ground.
He saw the seriously injured and dying man leaning against the stone monument and raising his head, and finally saw his face clearly.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel a strong sense of familiarity in his heart.
He jumped down, and then broke away from the strange power in mid-air and turned into a dragon.
At this time, the strange figure with his back turned finally turned around, allowing him to see his face clearly.
The other person shouted to him with surprise on his face.
"Look!"
"Our true companions are here."
This was also a familiar face, but the moment he saw him, boundless anger suddenly surged in his heart.
Three words suddenly emerged in his mind: kill him.
"Roar!"
The dragon roared and flew down from the sky.
Then he grabbed the young dragon with his sharp claws. The claws penetrated his body directly, but it was not fatal to the opponent.
The young dragon looked at the businessman who had turned into a dragon. He had no idea that the companion in front of him had turned into another existence. There was only astonishment in his eyes.
"?"
If the evil dragon thought Helfas was crazy before, there might be another reason.
So why this newly born intelligent companion would do this is completely incomprehensible to it.
But no matter what, this companion did attack him, and he immediately fought back.
He stretched out his hand, and a bolt of thunder and lightning immediately gathered in his palm, and then slammed into the other dragon whose sharp claws penetrated his body.
"Boom!"
"Zizzizi!"
The dragon was directly blasted to the point where his scales were tumbling, and thunder and lightning spread along his body, but it was not able to stop his actions.
The businessman who turned into a dragon grabbed the young dragon and rushed into the canyon together. He seemed to know the power and special abilities of the being in front of him, but he also knew that the power in the canyon could suppress him.
No matter how powerful the opponent's ability to control thunder is, he will not be able to release it once he reaches the canyon.
It seemed like someone had told him this before, but he had forgotten it.
When flying over the canyon.
An invisible wave surged into their bodies, and the two dragons could be seen losing all their strength in an instant and falling to the ground.
The other dragon also took on the form of a god, with a face that looked exactly like the merchant's former appearance.
Ordinary weirdos will lose all their power when they get here, and then become unable to move.
But these two weirdos with wisdom are different. Although they have lost their extraordinary power, their wisdom can still urge their bodies to move.
Two monsters in the form of gods rolled into the canyon and immediately started fighting.
The young man was still shouting: "Are you crazy? Why did you attack me?"
The businessman has only one sentence: "Death!"
The two of them seemed to have the same flesh and blood as humans, but when they actually fought, it could be seen that the two of them were anything but flesh and blood.
Their bodies and skin were extremely hard, and they made a sound like metal hitting each other while fighting.
The businessman rushed into the canyon with the dragon boy in his arms, smashing several houses directly, and then continued to kill into the depths.
This movement immediately alarmed all the people of the Black Iron Tribe who had been hiding in the canyon because of the contraction of the vines outside.
Someone recognized the evil dragon and the businessman's appearance.
"Look outside."
"It's the dragon."
"Look, it's a businessman. The businessman is back."
"The merchant is fighting the dragon."
And when fighting the merchant.
The young man was completely confused. He didn't understand what was going on.
The two people he thought were companions eventually became his enemies.
at last.
They all have to kill him.
Both of them lost their extraordinary abilities and were fighting with great strength, but even so, the fighting scene was not something that ordinary people could join. Several people wanted to step forward to help, but were easily killed by the young man in an instant.
He can smash a person's head with one punch and break a person's bones with one kick.
But at this time, a tall and thin young guard with a dagger on his waist shouted.
"Don't fight him."
"Use a net!"
"Catch him with a net."
At this time, more and more mortals rushed out, and groups of guards and tribesmen opened special nets and waited beside them.
That web is a spider monster's web. Even though it didn't work in front of the dragon before, it is actually very tough and can't be cut with a knife.
As the businessman smashed the young man out hard, he fell to the ground.
Nets fell from the sky and entangled the young man tightly.
The evil dragon was completely angry and roared.
"If any mortal dares to attack me, I will kill you."
"Kill you all."
The young man was extremely powerful, but when he was covered by that special spider web.
at last.
He tore open a layer of netting, but when layer after layer of netting and more netting entangled him, he was wrapped into a ball and unable to move.
No matter how much strength he possesses, he can't use it at all when faced with that tough and elastic net.
Before, he could use the dragon's huge body to tear it apart and use thunder and fire to burn it, but there was nothing he could do here.
"You mortals... you guys."
"I'm going to kill you... kill, kill, kill you."
He was so powerful that he never thought that he would be caught in dozens of mortal nets and defeated by that fragile mortal.
Of course, it is impossible for him to think so.
In the end, he could only look at the businessman with eyes wide open.
At this time.
He also thought that the other person was his companion and questioned him vigorously.
"Why?"
"Why do you want to be my enemy too?"
"Have you forgotten what I told you? Let's build a world and a city that belongs to us together."
"Why, why do you stand with these mortals?"
The businessman gradually walked up to the young man who was caught in the net. When he looked at him, his eyes were filled with extremely strong hatred.
Later.
He stretched out his hand and squeezed his hand into the other person's heart bit by bit from the grid.
Then, there was a harsh sound of gold and iron interlacing.
In this way, he forcefully, slowly, and bit by bit dug out the metal heart of the young man Long.
As the heart was dug out, the young man's eyes dimmed little by little, but even until the last moment, he still stared at the businessman, refusing to admit defeat at all.
Finally, the businessman came to the huge cave in the center of the Black Iron Tribe.
He grabbed the heart with force and threw it into the huge pit.
In the sound of breaking wind.
The metal organ of the ball was still beating at this moment.
It seems to be declaring that even at this point, the dragon is still alive. ()
