Chapter 146: Get it done for me quickly!

have to say.

The Elemental Forest was once the habitat of dragons and is home to an extraordinary number of black beasts.

After just over an hour of flying, Rhodes and his men experienced more than 30 battles of varying sizes, which greatly slowed down their progress.

Fortunately, there is the sixth-level Alpha.

Except for the fifth-level black beast, which requires some effort, other black beasts can basically be killed with just one claw.

If you encounter a group of black beasts that is too dense, you should bypass them if you can, and fight and run away if you can't, and shake them off.

Finally, after nearly an hour and a half, two sacred mountains of Dragon's Nest, one of ice and one of fire, came into view.

In the middle of the holy mountain, in the misty area, a moon-shaped lake was looming, which surprised Rhodes.

"Is this the Moon Lake you mentioned?"

"That's right, this is the place where our dragon clan uses to worship the Moon Goddess." Alpha's loud voice came, with a hint of vigilance.

This is already the deepest part of the dragon's lair.

Even though he has been promoted to the sixth level, he cannot guarantee that he can escape unscathed.

So after he finished speaking, he lowered his voice, descended towards the ruined forest below, and instantly changed back into his half-dragon form.

"Why is there a forest here?" Rhodes landed on the ground and looked around curiously.

Through the outskirts of the forest, you can vaguely see a shimmering lake and a number of sacrificial buildings on the edge of the lake.

"This area used to be the habitat of the dragon of life. The giant tree in the center was once their lair."

Rhodes looked in the direction of the sound and saw, as expected, a gigantic tree wreckage standing in the center of the forest, almost as high as the Holy Mountain of Elements.

Add to that the green crystals scattered throughout the forest, and you can easily imagine how magnificent it was back then.

"Be careful, I feel several sixth-level auras nearby." Alpha warned in a low voice.

"I know. You should be careful too. If you are not sure, don't try to be brave."

Rhodes had witnessed the horror of the sixth-order black beast with his own eyes.

Therefore, he didn't think that he could get the Dragon God's Mark in the first try. He was just exploring the way first.

It won’t be too late to come and get it when the forest expansion becomes stronger in the future.

that's it.

Two dragons and two trees walked in the woods, approaching the Moon Lake.

It was just as Alpha said.

As soon as we arrived at the edge of the forest, we saw several giant dragons that were no less big than Alpha, crawling on the edge of the lake.

"Level 6! So many Level 6s!"

Rhodes said in a low voice, his eyes full of shock.

At this moment, the water in the Moon Lake surged violently.

An even more terrifying figure turned over and stood up, causing a huge wave, and a terrifying aura swept around.

"It's actually him!"

Alpha's pupils suddenly shrank, he was so shocked and incredulous that he even stopped in his tracks.

"Who?" Rhodes looked puzzled.

"The elder of the Water Dragon Clan, the seventh-level dragon responsible for guarding the Moon Lake, I didn't expect that even he would turn into a black beast!"

"What did you say? Level 7?!"

Rhodes was so scared that his face turned green.

This, this, this, is this something he can afford to provoke now?

He knew that it would be dangerous deep in the dragon's nest, but he didn't expect it to be this dangerous.

For these little noobs like them, it’s hard for them to even get close to the Dragon God’s Mark, let alone obtain it.

"What should we do? Should we still go there?"

"It's probably difficult. With my current strength, I can only hold off the sixth-level ones for a while at best, but the seventh-level..."

Alpha paused in the middle of his speech, and his meaning was obvious.

But after thinking about it, he frowned again: "There is still something wrong. Since even this elder has been corrupted into a black beast, what about the other elders? And where are the leaders of the several elemental dragons? Why are they not here?"

To know.

Every elemental dragon patriarch has reached the eighth level of the holy realm.

His father was the patriarch of the Flame Dragon Clan. At that time, he led his people to follow the Dragon God and resist the spread of black soil.

But now, we only see the elders of the Water Dragon Clan, which is a bit unbelievable.

"Could it be that they escaped successfully?" Rhodes guessed.

"It's possible!" Alpha's eyes lit up.

The fact that no bodies were found meant that some of his people were probably still alive, but were just living somewhere he didn't know.

His originally depressed mood became cheerful and his heart was filled with hope.

"Unfortunately, there is a seventh-level black beast blocking us, so we can't get the Dragon God Mark."

Rhodes naturally also hoped to contact the Dragon Clan. After all, they were top-notch fighters.

With their help, it will be safer on the black soil.

"Then let's wait until the forest is stable and can support seventh-level souls, then ask the tree spirits and elves for help. Then we can try to contact my people."

"It can only be the."

Rhodes nodded, but he was not in a hurry.

Anyway, the location has been explored, and there will be plenty of opportunities to come and look for the mark in the future.

So they didn't stay long.

After carefully confirming it, he flew out of the nest, intending to take this opportunity to explore the surrounding situation to avoid any accidents in the future.

however.

This was beyond Rhodes's expectation.

Just as they flew to the edge of the forest, circled around, and were about to turn back.

In a distant mine, a green meteorite that fell into a deep pit suddenly came into view.

"Huh? There's a meteorite here too? Let's go and take it back with us."

Rhodes was amazed and immediately asked Alpha to change direction and fly towards the meteorite.

But didn't notice.

A fierce battle was taking place among the ore groups at the other end.

"Be careful! Those black beasts are coming towards you!" "The meteorite is just ahead, hold on!"

"Why are there so many black beasts in this damn place?"

"A few more are coming!"

Shouts echoed around the outskirts of the Elemental Forest.

The merchant team coming from Crescent City was currently being besieged by a large group of black beasts and was advancing into the forest.

They had never expected that this Death Forest was actually filled with black beasts, just as Crescent City had said.

Not only that.

Even the pollution level of the black soil was far beyond their imagination, and even the meteorite fragments they brought could only barely resist it.

"Damn it! If this continues, the recovery supplies we brought won't be enough."

The leading man had a grim expression on his face; he realized that he had underestimated the horror deep in the black soil.

Just the edge of the forest was enough to make them overwhelmed. It was completely different from the outer area of ​​Liberty City.

How could there be such a horrible place on the black soil?

If anyone could live in such a place, he would eat the feces he just excreted on the spot!

"Something's wrong. Why is the temperature getting higher?"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise was heard among the team.

The air, which was originally a little chilly, suddenly heated up suddenly and became hot and unbearable.

Followed by.

Everyone seemed to sense something, and they all looked up at the sky with their eyes wide open.

A huge red figure was seen flying across the sky, whizzing past their heads.

Wherever he went, the air seemed to be boiling.

A terrifying sense of oppression swept across the earth, pressing them and the black beasts so hard that they could not move, with only fear and horror in their eyes.

"Giant...giant dragon!"

A sound like a drake being strangled by the neck rang out among the team.

The young man who had vowed before to meet the dragon in person suddenly felt his pants getting hot and smelled fishy, ​​and he almost collapsed to the ground.

The most shocked ones were those at level five. Their eyes almost popped out of their heads.

Because what appeared in front of them was a sixth-order dragon, and it was a fire dragon known for its destructive power!
And just as they were stunned.

The giant dragon flew over their heads and landed heavily in a deep pit in the distance.

When it took off again, the meteorite inside had disappeared. It flew away in front of their shocked eyes and disappeared into the deepest part of the forest in the blink of an eye.

It was not until the scorching air wave faded away that they finally reacted and fell to the ground with their legs going weak.

"Did you see it clearly just now?" the man said in horror.

"Look carefully, it's definitely a sixth-order dragon!" The old man next to him was shaking a little as he held the staff.

"How can life survive in a place like this?"

"Damn Crescent City, they actually lied to us and said it was level five. Fortunately, the dragon didn't attack us."

"There is a problem. There is definitely something wrong with this forest of death!"

"The meteorite was also taken away by it. What should we do?"

Everyone was still in shock, their eyes all focused on the man leading the group.

His expression kept changing, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he looked up and said, "Don't report the news that there are high-level life forms alive in the Death Forest back to Liberty City. We risked our lives to get this information, so we can't let others know it for nothing."

"You mean, they will probably send someone over as well?" The others instantly understood what he meant.

"Yes." The man's face was stern. "You all know the value of this meteorite. It will definitely attract a lot of people. We just need to wait and see. Let's go and leave here first."

After saying this, the man stood up and walked out of the forest.

Although I didn't get any meteorites this time, I did get a lot of high-level soul fragments, which are hard to find in Liberty City.

In addition, he had just encountered a sixth-order dragon, so he dared not stay here. He hurried back to Crescent City, intending to rest before looking for another meteorite.

……

the other side.

On the way back to the altar.

Rhodes sat on Alpha's back and looked behind him with some confusion.

"Was there something over there just now?"

"It should be a group of black beasts fighting each other, right?"

To Alpha in his original form, black beasts below level six were nothing more than larger ants, and he simply didn't bother to pay any attention to them.

"Forget about him, let's go back quickly."

Rhodes didn't think much about it and looked forward.

They avoided high-level black beasts and places where black beasts were densely packed along the way, and soon returned to the altar. They saw Yilin and her people surrounding the meteorite.

"what happened?"

Rhodes turned over and jumped to the ground, asking curiously.

Seeing him coming back, Yilin's face was immediately filled with excitement and she hurried to greet him.

"Lord Rhodes, didn't you ask me before how to leave the forest and go outside? Today I brought some of these meteorites back to show Her Majesty the Queen. She said that these meteorites can be used to carry souls, so that you can project your spiritual consciousness over!"

"Consciousness projection? The totem of the tree spirit clan can also do this?"

Rhodes became even more puzzled, as if it didn't sound strange.

"No, no, your majesty means to use this meteorite to make a body and let your spiritual consciousness attach to it, so that you can move around in the Elf Capital!"

"what?"

Rhodes was stunned after hearing this.

Ogula Afar, who rushed over, was also stunned.

But immediately, Rhode's breathing became rapid, and he couldn't wait to ask:
"You mean, I can leave this damn place... er, leave the Dream Forest and go outside?!"

"Yes, although it can only move within a very small range, it is theoretically feasible. Do you want to try it?"

Try it.

Why are you still trying? Just fix it for me!
