Chapter 102: Summoning the Evil God or Summoning the Dragon God?
Deep within the pitch-black forest.
Ten tall knights clad in silver armor and wearing silver helmets leaped through the woods, their figures crossing and galloping at lightning speed.
The snow-skirt woman in the center of the formation was like a white ghost, her figure flickering as if dropping frames.
Strangely, her eye sockets were not filled with pupils but with layers of dark purple vortices.
As the woman moved, countless fragments of light floated in the dim forest, chasing after her figure and surging into her eye sockets like countless data streams.
Suddenly, Cha Nai Xue’s flickering figure abruptly stopped. She quietly landed on a thick tree branch, her Vorticella purple eyes slowly turning.
Panda’s large head poked out of the ground. “Master, did you find it?”
“That tree, five meters below the tree.” Cha Nai Xue’s vortex eyes dispersed, congealing back into light purple pupils. She calmly pointed in a direction. “Go on, dig out the key.”
“Yes!” Panda was delighted. His master’s ability was indeed powerful. He thought this and burrowed back into the ground.
Cha Nai Xue’s Spirit Artifact was called [Naraka’s Between].
One of its abilities was ‘Naraka’s Eye’, which could see all information within one second into the future and three days into the past of any place it reached.
In Cha Nai Xue’s vision just now, she saw that an hour ago, when Mi Jia, the Calamity Beast, was still explaining the rules, a golden key flew from the distant sky and burrowed into the soil beneath a large tree.
According to the rules, there were a thousand bark keys hidden in this forest, and only one of them was the true key that could open the treehouse seal, and its exterior was golden.
“Found it.”
Panda quickly emerged from the soil, holding up a golden key with his chubby hand.
Just as Cha Nai Xue was about to nod, she suddenly said, “Run!”
Swish—
A dark green arrow cut through the pitch-black night sky. Panda turned and burrowed into the ground, disappearing without a trace.
Boom!! The arrow was blocked by a knight’s shield in mid-air, exploding into green light and splashing outwards. The surrounding plants began to rapidly decay.
Swish, swish, swish—
Hundreds of dark green flaming arrows lit up the dark sky.
“Nai Xue, my sister, come into big brother’s arms~” With Gongsun Ze’s playful and flirtatious laughter, everyone realized a man was flying rapidly towards them amidst the volley of arrows.
Right behind him were You Lina and eight knights.
“Boom!!!”
The forest trembled, and vast swathes of trees toppled with a roar.
In the distance.
The white-clothed man and the black-dressed woman stood side-by-side on a hilltop, gazing at the two factions fighting chaotically in the distance.
“Third-stage Spirit Pressure, one, two, good heavens.”
Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit speechless. “This guy Gongsun Ze can really put on an act. He’s already third-stage, and he didn’t fight back even after I beat him. Is this guy planning to play the pig to eat the tiger…”
Mu Qingtong scanned the battlefield in the distance and said calmly, “The female knight beside Cha Nai Xue, Yin, is also third-stage.”
Xia Feng nodded. “I remember her. She speaks very little, and doesn’t seem very bright, but I didn’t expect her strength to be quite considerable.”
“So, these two groups were wary of each other before…”
Speaking of which, Xia Feng suddenly realized something. “This is bad, we’ve been underestimated. They don’t seem to have taken us seriously at all?”
As he spoke, he glanced at Mu Qingtong. “Miss Mu, can you tolerate this?”
The black-dressed woman turned her head, her small face filled with confusion. “Mr. Xia, you’re quite idle. It seems you haven’t thought about finding the key at all since the beginning. Are you here to complete the mission?”
“Key? Who said I wasn’t looking? Look, I found one.” Xia Feng took out a bark key, which he had plundered from Number 17 after killing him. “Huh?”
However, as soon as he took possession of it, he looked down at the key in his hand in surprise. The bark on the outside of the key flaked off, revealing the silver-white material within, which emitted a soft radiance.
Mu Qingtong also looked at the key in Xia Feng’s hand curiously, then took out the bark key she had found for comparison.
“It is indeed different,” she said calmly.
“But isn’t the true key golden?”
Xia Feng’s expression was puzzled. He rubbed the silver-white key with his fingertip, but no information entered his mind. It looked no different from any ordinary key.
Mu Qingtong, however, shook her head. “The rules state that there are a thousand bark keys hidden in this forest, and only one of them is the true key that can open the treehouse seal, and its exterior is golden. But it doesn’t say that the other keys have no use at all. It seems your luck is still quite good.”
My luck is good? Xia Feng subconsciously touched the Mo Dao on his waist, unable to tell if this was his luck or the result of the Princess Consort’s mysterious ability.
However, he didn’t know the specific use of this silver key yet. It might just be a useless fake key used to confuse people.
“Let’s go, we’ll go back the way we came.”
!
The two did not linger around the battlefield, lest they get caught up in it and expose their strength.
Ten minutes later.
The battle ended with the complete annihilation of the first-stage knights, Panda gravely injured, You Lina unleashing an unknown fourth-stage one-time attack, and Gongsun Ze seizing the key.
Limbs and blood were scattered across the battlefield.
Cha Nai Xue, Yin, and Panda disappeared into the dense forest.
“Heh heh~” You Lina’s blood-stained pupils watched Cha Nai Xue’s retreating figure, curling her lips into a cold smile. “All your effort, and it was all for my benefit.”
“Stop dawdling, hurry up and set up the formation,” Gongsun Ze said in a deep voice.
A trace of confusion flickered in You Lina’s blood-stained pupils, and then she looked at Gongsun Ze with full of love. “Yes, Gongsun Gege~”
Gongsun Ze no longer paid attention to her. After scanning around and confirming that no one was nearby, he walked directly to the center of the corpse-strewn battlefield, dug open the bloody soil, and planted a jade-white piece of wood in it.
You Lina then arranged eighteen corpses with their heads facing outwards and feet inwards around the central wood, forming a circle.
“Gongsun Gege, can Anubi, the Nightmare God, really descend like this?”
Gongsun Ze bent down and quickly etched complex patterns on the ground, saying with a faint smile, “The Spirit Awakening Wood only needs half an hour to be nurtured and turn into a Spirit Awakening Tree. At that time, all those with a divine spatial mark within a three-kilometer radius will sense it and traverse countless times and spaces to summon a god!”
Currently, in this Calamity Realm space, only he had the divine spatial mark. He shouldn’t be so unlucky as to encounter a second person with a spatial mark.
“Of course, that’s assuming we also get the item in Wen Zaiye’s hand.”
Saying this, he clapped his hands and stood up, his playful gaze fixed on the depths of the dark forest, the corners of his lips curling into a mischievous smile:
“When that time comes, this group of ignorant little mice will have the honor of witnessing a true! God!!”
“As expected of Gongsun Gege, Gege is so amazing~” You Lina hugged Gongsun Ze’s arm, swaying her body and hips, her eyes full of little stars.
Gongsun Ze frowned, a trace of disgust flashing imperceptibly in his eyes.
To be honest, he was already tired of this woman. If it weren’t for You Lina’s high status, he wouldn’t want to waste his abilities controlling her mind.
In fact, his original target was Cha Nai Xue. But unfortunately, even with the Black Moon Goddess having problems, Cha Nai Xue still possessed a strange mental defense mechanism, which was very strange.
“Oh well, it’s time to play with a different little wildcat.” Mu Qingtong’s figure flashed in his mind. His mental intrusion had failed before, and he guessed that this beautiful young lady had been hiding her strength.
But it didn’t matter. Once Anubi, the Nightmare God, descended, everything would be resolved.
A murky light flickered in Gongsun Ze’s pitch-black eyes, and his lips curled into an evil smile. “And this fellow named Xia, it’s time to settle accounts with this ignorant fool.”
