In an underground space that is comparable in size to a grand theater, the entire inner wall of the cave has been corroded by frogmen with acid to make it slightly smooth. The stalactites and stalagmites connected up and down are reinforced with magic and crudely carved.
The group of statues are basically in the shape of frogmen and toads, large and small. There are gems stuffed into the eyes and mouths of the statues, emitting a faint blue and purple light, illuminating the cave.
Surrounded by towering pillars, there is a huge pool that can accommodate hundreds or even thousands of people. It is filled with a faint blue light and is filled with densely packed frog eggs. Each one is the size of a human head, forming a large pool.
The egg sac embryos gathered in groups look like diseased swollen cysts, which make people shudder and give them goosebumps.
In addition, there were more than a dozen frogman wizards chanting prayer spells beside the egg pool. Other frogman slaves were responsible for picking up the egg sacs that were about to hatch into tadpoles and carefully moving them to other places.
Xuanweizi's original form and incarnation turned into two frogmen, replacing the frogmen soldiers who originally came to stand guard in the egg pool. They stood with short spears like two lucky toads standing outside the door of the egg pool cave, carefully observing the inside.
Medium situation.
"It is enveloped by the effect of 'True Knowledge', and there are also other powers. Although your 'Super Transformation' with the astral body can hide from 'True Knowledge', I guess it will still be seen through."
The incarnation speaks telepathically.
Xuan Weizi scratched his big belly: "That is probably the divine power of the frogman's ancestral spirit. The upper altar is used as a medium to penetrate the rock layer and directly cover the egg pool, ensuring that once the frogman is born, he will be a devout believer of the ancestral spirit.
."
The avatar asked: "Is this frogman ancestral spirit an earthly creature like a sky singer or a guardian spirit?"
Xuan Weizi himself denied: "I don't think so. Although the frogman settlement also has semi-natural and semi-artificial magic circles, the divine power of the ancestral spirits is not completely bound to this rainforest and lake, but is related to the minds and souls of the frogmen.
Implicated. If I have to say it, this frogman ancestral spirit is the racial god, and his power is projected through the frogmen, not something like a totem pole."
The incarnation sounded serious: "Didn't you say there are no gods in this world?"
Xuanweizi himself replied: "When I broke through the gate of the profound entrance and felt the heart of heaven, I really didn't sense the divine truth that controls all things in the universe. At least from a human perspective, I didn't sense it. But
The ancestral spirit that the frogmen believe in obviously only protects the frogmen. If we have to dig deeper, we have to ask, what is a 'god'? Immortal and immortal? Omniscient and omnipotent?"
"You are asking - what is God?" said the Avatar.
"The user is God." Xuan Weizi himself replied: "God does not exist independently in a void, but is embodied in the interaction with mortal things. It is the embodiment of certain laws, concepts, beliefs and behaviors.
It is not just the owner of some powerful power. As for whether the frogman's ancestral spirit is the exact 'true god', that is not important at all. It only needs that he can respond to the frogman's prayers and beliefs, even if this
The response is beyond the comprehension of mortal beings.”
"It seems that in the past ten years, you have used goblins and ogres to pretend to be gods and ghosts? You also have a lot of insights into the use of faith and will?" asked the incarnation.
"Usage is out of the question." Xuan Weizi looked at several frogmen slaves leaving the cave door carrying tadpoles that were about to burst their egg sacs, and responded: "But I found that the power of faith can only be in the spiritual world, that is, in the ether.
When the plane responds, it will also form some kind of projection in the astral realm. Theoretically, beings in the astral realm should be able to better absorb the power of faith and will? After all, they are pure hearts and thoughts, which is different from incense.
The theory of Dharma Realm is somewhat similar."
The incarnation said: "But after death in this world, the soul does not go to the star realm? It is not led to some void realm like heaven and hell, but escapes into the etheric plane. The etheric plane is the elemental plane.
As a bonding intermediary between surfaces and positive and negative energy, how can this give people the feeling of 'deformation brings life, shape returns life after death'?"
Xuanweizi himself said: "The four elements, positive and negative energy and the etheric plane? Maybe they are the basis of reincarnation and soul circulation in this world."
"The identity of the frogman's ancestral spirit is also in the etheric plane?" the incarnation asked.
"I can't sense his body, but I can detect the close connection between the egg pool and the etheric plane. And I also use the natural magic spring in this place." Xuan Weizi said: "This egg pool is the frogman settlement.
The core of the egg pool is also the center of operation of the magic spring. The medicinal material I want is in the egg pool."
The incarnation asked: "It seems that what you want is not just ordinary frog eggs?"
"Is this information obtained from Archmage Qi Darok? High-quality frogman egg sacs can be cultivated in the egg pool for a long time to ensure that individuals that can deeply communicate with the ancestors are hatched." Xuan Weizi said:
"Such a special frog egg has not yet hatched, but it has condensed extraordinary vitality and spirituality, just like the essence and blood of those long-lived monsters, which is suitable for use as a medicine for refining magic pills."
"What a good thing!" the avatar exclaimed.
Xuan Weizi himself opened his toad mouth and blew a bubble: "But these frog eggs are basically hidden deep in the egg pool? Are they covered by a large number of ordinary frog eggs? It is difficult to find them for a while."
"Then how are you going to find them?" the avatar said, "Are there tens of thousands of frog eggs in the pool? There are also ancestral spirits shrouding them, and any move we make will inevitably lead to a desperate resistance from the frogmen."
I sneered and said: "If a ferocious army suddenly came out of the Dark Area and broke through several lines of defense of the frogmen one after another, which egg sacs do you think would be rescued from such an immovable egg pool in order to preserve the continuation of the ethnic group?"
"Hahaha, then only those blessed by the ancestral spirits will be rescued." The incarnation laughed. Although the surroundings were still quiet, even the frogman wizards beside the egg pool stopped praying and casting spells.
.
"Finally." I bulged my mouth, as if adapting to the frogman's body, and licked my eyes with my long tongue to keep them moist.
A moment later, several frogmen wearing chitin armor, swaying their fat and bloated bodies, came to the Egg Pond Cave with clattering footsteps. Xuan Weizi himself and the transformed frogman soldiers stood tall at the same time.
He raised his head as a sign of respect, but did not attract the attention of these armored frogmen.
These armored frogmen came to the Egg Pond Cave and started to scream at the frogman wizards. Xuanweizi silently used "Language Comprehension" to listen. What they said was nothing more than "the mushroom forest in the underdark area".
The defense line was dismantled," "frogmen soldiers came one after another to block the enemy," "troublesome wizards to ask the ancestral spirits for power," etc.; and then the other party responded, "It's all because you despised faith in the past and the ancestral spirits' blessings were reduced," "In order to protect
You must repel the enemy in the egg pool and altar." "This is a test given to us by the ancestors. The time has come to prove our faith."...
"It's really full of frog noises." The incarnation muttered: "You can still argue at this time. Isn't it possible to know whether to fight or flee? Didn't the ancestral spirit of the frogmen send an oracle? Could this ancestral spirit have noticed us?
existence, don’t you intend to let the frog eggs be taken away?”
"Perhaps it is really the ancestral spirits that are testing the frog people's faith?"
There was a noise in the Egg Pond Cave for a while, and the vibrations underneath the ground became more and more obvious. Several frogmen hurriedly came to deliver the news, just like the noise beside the pond after the rain.
The quarrel obviously concluded that the attack of the human army was too fierce. After the frogmen experienced a previous defeat, their strength was greatly reduced. Facing the surprise attack from the direction of the underdark, they were not well prepared. It was obvious that this settlement could no longer stay.
.
The frogmen do not have a country, they are just regional groups. If they cannot defend this place, they will have to squeeze out other frogman settlements in the south. Whether they can erect altars, open egg pools, and maintain the reproduction of the group at that time depends on
is an unknown quantity.
But at the moment of life and death, the frogman wizards couldn't help but question it. The war ahead was becoming increasingly unfavorable. In order to preserve the strength of the group, escape was the only way. They could only look forward to retaking the lake and the settlement in the future.
The frogmen argued for a while, but finally decided to take away the egg sacs blessed by the ancestral spirits. They took a beautiful pottery urn, put the egg sacs in it, poured in the culture solution, sealed it and cast a spell to protect it.
The frogman wizards were doing this, and the armored frogmen quickly mobilized elite and female frogmen to drive away the giant frogs. The giant crocodiles served as mounts and vehicles, and they seemed to be in a state of escape.
The top leaders of the tribe are afraid of escaping, so how can the battle on the frontline get better? The Allied Forces' attack becomes more and more fierce. The mysterious knights and battle mages shake their wand scrolls, and the light of spells illuminates the caves; the psychic warriors and berserkers attack with their weapons.
, rushing left and right, killing blood everywhere; thousands of troops followed, fully equipped with armor, holding shields and spears, advancing step by step, the crossbowmen threw arrows under the guidance of the mage, and the slippery-skinned frogmen were also shot into sieves.
.
When Xuan Weizi saw the frogman wizards carrying six large pottery jars out of the Egg Pond Cave, the incarnation asked: "Hey, there are six jars, which one should you grab?"
"If the thief doesn't get away with it, we'll make it right." Xuan Weizi himself said unceremoniously.
At this time, a frogman wizard carrying a greasy round-headed staff finally walked out of the egg pool cave, saw Xuan Weizi himself and the transformed frogman soldier, and said: "You two, follow me to escort."
Xuan Weizi and his incarnation did not talk nonsense and acted as ordered. The frogman wizard raised his round-headed staff and chanted a spell loudly, and the giant doors covered with carvings on both sides of the Egg Pond Cave slowly closed. The ancestral spirit
Divine power permeates the giant door, and it seems that the intention is to seal the Egg Pool Cave, hoping that intruders will not be able to break through the barrier of the ancestral spirit's divine power, and may come back to save their descendants in the future.
Just as the frogman wizard's incantation reached its climax, a beam of hot red light penetrated its chest without warning.
The frogman wizard only felt that his life was disappearing rapidly. Obviously at this moment, the divine power of the ancestral spirit was flowing through his body. His body should be as hard as iron stone, his spell resistance was greatly increased, he was not afraid of direct fire from human crossbows, and he could easily block the attacks of middle and low-level mages.
Attack, unless the person coming is...
Buzz——
The red lightsaber raised up and split the frogman wizard's body in half.
"You really like this image." The avatar stared at Xuan Weizi, who had become the black warrior Vader, and looked at the red lightsaber: "This is the Beidou Falling Sword, right? Isn't it a bit pricey to look like this?
?”
Xuan Weizi replied: "The Beidou Shaking Sword is the expression of 20% of my alchemy sword. I have cultivated the 'Nine True Xuanguang' and can transform my body and mind at will. Naturally, I can also change the form of the Beidou Shaking Sword. At this moment, it is equivalent to a
The fifth-level flaming sharp edge enchanted long sword can be regarded as a second-level artifact in a sense. However, if others use magic detection, they will probably only be able to see the aura fluctuations of the second-level enchanted weapon."
"Okay! Stop showing off, and deal with these toads quickly!" The avatar changed back to its original appearance, and when he raised his hand, a piece of "fire energy missile" appeared. It was like a frenzy coming out of the gate, with fire rain pouring into the sky, towards the frogmen who hadn't noticed it yet.
The wizards blasted away.
A string of fireballs exploded, and Xuan Weizi's body was like electricity. Now his body and bones are completely that of a high-level warrior who has gone through hard training, and he emphasizes lightness and speed. With the blessing of "speed burst" and "lion's charge"
, Xuan Weizi rushed to the frogman wizard in almost the blink of an eye. The fireball roared and the flames flowed, followed by lightsabers flying, intertwined like a web, with a sword speed that even ordinary people's dynamic eyesight could not catch up with.
Then he cut off the limbs and heads of several frogman wizards and soldiers!
Immediately, another huge wave of psychic power swept past, and the senses of the frogmen were intertwined for a moment, transmitting the pain of the dying to the consciousness of the still alive frogmen, causing their muscles to contract and spasm involuntarily, and they croaked in fear.
Call.
The avatar is behind the cover, and the original body moves faster, and the lightsaber is invincible, like a hot knife cutting butter. If the frogman wizard tries to cast a spell to resist, he will stop the movement with a "throat lock" from the air, and "dissolve" with a backhand palm
The touch "erodes flesh and turns into bone."
The dozen or so frogmen warriors wearing chitin armor who were traveling with them resisted a little, and their bodies expanded like rubber balls under the stimulation of divine power. However, they saw that the lightsaber in the hands of the black warrior also surged.
, turned into a forty-foot-long pillar-like blade of light, which was simply a beam of violent magic rays!
The super-long light blade swept through the financial iron like an ordinary sword. Even if the giant frogman warrior was not cut in two by a sword, he was burned by the terrifying high temperature. The effectiveness of ordinary "resistance elements" and "protection elements" instantly
It was penetrated. The light blade seemed to be the heat of the sun being focused by a convex lens, and its powerful power was concentrated. It was more terrifying than any adamantine weapon or the finger of death!
The light blades were flying across the sky here, and the psychic energy was "experiencing severe pain" over there. The frogmen suddenly felt like they were being cut to pieces by a thousand cuts, and their bodies were tortured. Even if a few of them had strong physiques and survived for a while, their morale was so suppressed that they had no choice but to leave them behind.
Egg sacs in pottery jars, run away quickly.
"Okay, don't chase after the poor enemy, let the allies handle it." Xuan Weizi put away the light blade and looked back at the six large pottery urns in the rattan basket hanging on the back of the giant frog.
"What now?" the Avatar asked.
Xuan Weizi took down the pottery urn and was not busy removing the divine protection on it. He said: "Seal it with the 'Starlight Cocoon'. You take these six jars and teleport them back to Changqing City, and then mobilize the Xinggang Dharma Altar."
I will try my best to restrict it and isolate it from detection, but I want to see what the abilities of that frogman ancestor are."
