Chapter 3965 The Song of the Purple Moon (16)
On both sides of the canyon, a large number of treasure hunters and void pirates were already standing... The gazes of all parties were stern, and many even revealed a strong killing intent.
Among them, the pirates were the most murderous.
They're really going at it now. Most pirates are ruthless looters, but under the intense, red-hot atmosphere of treasure hunting within the Song of the Purple Moon, they're actually quite restrained.
There were countless treasure-hunting teams, large and small, but the number was at least five hundred... On a relatively good spot on the side of the cliff, the team led by [Blazing Sun] Morgan was also on high alert with a solemn expression.
Before arriving here, this team had already secretly eliminated more than a dozen treasure hunting teams... From initially resisting this cruel practice that damaged the honor and rules of treasure hunters, to tasting the benefits... now, they can't wait to plunder properly!
Sure enough, treasure hunters are often miserable people who spend a lot of time and still may not succeed in finding the treasure—more often than not, they invest a lot of manpower, resources and energy, only to waste their time in the end.
Treasure hunting is about enjoying the process... That's why I chose to become a neutral and kind treasure hunter in the first place. My initial dream... Don't be ridiculous.
This kind of quick money-making method is much more exciting! Treasure hunter... I'd rather be a dog than a hunter!
Even if this treasure hunt fails, the record of killing along the way is already a huge gain!
"Lord Morgan, there are simply too many people from the Song of the Purple Moon right now... When they rush into this secluded Long-Eared Tribe, it will probably be another fierce battle!"
"This Long-Eared Tribe has been hidden here for countless years without being discovered. There must be many good things inside, right? Even if we don't find any clues to the treasure, at least we won't leave empty-handed!"
"Sir, when shall we make our move?"
Morgan didn't participate in the team's chatter; he simply searched silently for traces of the [Orc] Goshu and the others on both sides of the canyon, and soon found their locations.
So far, the plan has been going smoothly... except for one small mishap, which is that the mysterious "Lord" Boros has not yet shown up.
But that's alright, their relationship with [Boros] is nothing more than mutual exploitation—as for whether they're worried that the [Laurel] tribe might actually be a trap...
Even before this operation, Morgan and his group, including Mochi, the Beast Tamer who had already been killed by Shak (as they believed), had secretly entered the Laurel Tribe's secret realm once under Boros's manipulation to investigate the overall strength of the Laurel Tribe.
Among the [Laurel] tribe, apart from a long-eared tribe called Banikolika who is relatively difficult to deal with, their high priest is the only one who needs to be careful.
But what can be done about it?
Given the sheer size of the treasure-hunting teams that have arrived after hearing the news, their sheer numbers alone could easily crush the [Laurel] tribe!
“The wind is picking up…” Morgan murmured to himself, “It’s time.”
A strong wind swept through the cliffs of the canyon, its whistling sound like an ancient ballad—this is the origin of the Song of the Purple Moon.
However, for the many treasure hunters and void pirates of today, they have no leisure to appreciate this natural wonder.
Boom——! !
It is unknown who made the move, but a huge fireball with a diameter of nearly ten meters suddenly slammed into a certain spot on the cliff below—the hidden entrance of the [Laurel] tribe!
"Hahaha! Brothers, let's grab it! Even if we don't find the treasure, catching one or two long-eared rabbit girls will make us a fortune!"
This group... was none other than the pirates who frequented the Gorge of Freedom and Wildness.
"Follow me!"
[Yan Yang] Morgan shouted in a deep voice and then set off, blending into the main force.
Others, such as the orc Goshu and the cold-faced youth, had also begun to take action.
……
A wisp of sand flowed into the gale through her slender, pale fingers. The witch, whose bosom was far more imposing than her breasts, stood on a rock, squinting as she watched the treasure-hunting army attack the Laurel tribe.
"It's so lively here!" Xiaomeng exclaimed excitedly, holding the binoculars the witch had given her. "I feel like I've seen so many unlucky people!"
Upon hearing this, the witch's heart stirred slightly, and she suddenly asked, "Xiao Meng, did you bring playing cards?"
"What's wrong?" Xiaomeng blinked her red eyes curiously.
The witch casually said, "Since I'm just killing time anyway, why don't you do another fortune telling for me and see if I'll draw the [Nine of Diamonds] again?"
Xiao Meng chuckled softly, casually pulled out a deck of cards, and swiftly cut the cards with a technique comparable to that of a sexy Chinese dealer at a royal casino. "Draw!"
Then the witch directly drew a card, but she didn't look at it herself; the card was facing Xiaomeng.
Xiao Meng blinked her big eyes twice more, "Oh my, it's this card..."
"What, is it not good?" The witch calmly turned the card over to her face, glanced at it, and then... she froze.
—TM, it's that "Nine of Diamonds" card again, which symbolizes financial loss?
How could I have lost money?
This massive treasure-hunting army is clearly a walking money bag!
"Your deck of cards isn't all nines of diamonds, is it?" The witch stared at the golden egg princess suspiciously.
Xiao Meng stuck out her little tongue and then flipped all the playing cards over... Sure enough, they were all the same [Nine of Diamonds].
"Ah!"
The witch gave a cold laugh, and immediately pinched two diamond-shaped objects in her hands, frantically drilling into Xiaomeng's head... Then Xiaomeng would make angry "meow" sounds.
"I'll deal with you later!" The witch suddenly stopped.
According to feedback from the [Dust Guards], after the treasure-hunting army breached the tribe's gates, they have already engaged in combat with the warriors of the [Laurel] tribe.
Currently, the situation is one-sided... Clearly, the [Laurel] tribe is completely bewildered by the sudden invasion of the treasure-hunting army.
"...Huh, what's that?" The witch was "looking" at it with great interest when her brows suddenly furrowed, because the [Micro Dust Guard] in a certain place seemed to have discovered something strange.
A huge mirror, moving horizontally in mid-air, flashing by in an instant!
"Could it be that there are hunters... Damn it!"
Just as the witch was wondering, she suddenly looked startled and reached out to lift Xiaomeng up—at the same time, a dark red beam of light suddenly fell from the sky!
……
……
"Has it already started?"
On the mirror, Testarossa, resting her chin on her hand and sitting languidly on her throne, suddenly yawned. To her, who was originally controlling a massive war, this number was practically like a "village war".
Even now, not a single [Radiant Moon]-class has been seen... Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there might be a [Radiant Moon]-class operating behind the scenes.
"Shall we go into the [Laurel] tribe?" the bespectacled man, Claude, asked casually.
His gaze casually swept over a void pirate who was bound and lying on the mirror like a caterpillar—a random capture used to learn about what was happening on the [Purple Moon], a secondary target.
“Boring.” Testarossa shook her head. “I’ll rest for a bit. Anyway… the final victor will still emerge. We just need to find the victor. Claude, you know I like quiet environments.”
After saying that, Testarossa slowly closed her eyes, her breathing becoming long and deep.
Seeing this, Claude quickly raised a blanket and carefully covered Testarossa with it... He walked to the edge of the mirror with his hands behind his back.
He casually waved his white-gloved hand.
In an instant, an invisible wave rapidly spread out from around the mirror, clearing away all the "impure" things in the air... including dust.
Claude adjusted his glasses, his gaze sweeping across the ground before he slowly extended a finger again. "Here..."
A point of scarlet light condensed from his fingertip and then shot out!
The crimson beam of light was not thick at first, only about the size of a finger, but it pierced through the earth and then disappeared... Claude adjusted his glasses again, his gaze slightly narrowed.
"Escaped?"
……
……
hiss--! !
Her heartbeat calmed down a little, and the witch looked around warily with a serious expression... Although [Dust Guard] had been eliminated by that four-eyed guy, the location of the mirror had been exposed.
—Damn it, it's always me who gets the sneak shots…
—If [Hello] hadn't mysteriously disappeared, I would have given that four-eyed guy a super-powerful shot!
—You little brat, just you wait!
"What was that just now?"
Xiao Meng gently patted her chest, looking like she was still shaken.
The witch said with a gloomy expression, "They might be the mastermind behind this treasure hunt... Judging from the attack just now, their strength is probably not weak."
Although it was only a fleeting moment, the aura that the other party revealed was undoubtedly at the [Radiant Moon] level... and a very strong [Radiant Moon] level at that!
"Go, don't stay here." The witch quickly lifted Xiaomeng up again.
Instead of fleeing, they quickly blended into the treasure-hunting army that was bombarding the Laurel tribe—there were so many people here, and their auras were so mixed, that there was no better place to hide!
Unless this "mastermind" chooses to come to the table directly, we can only stare helplessly!
……
Claude suddenly frowned, vaguely sensing that the hidden spy seemed to have infiltrated the treasure-hunting army... It wasn't that he couldn't take action and directly wipe out the treasure-hunting army below.
He glanced back at the princess, who seemed to be fast asleep, and ultimately gave up the idea of wiping out the treasure-hunting army.
However, the spy's ability seems quite special... and being able to escape safely from my sudden attack means he's at least a master of escape.
……
……
……
……
【Laurel】section, the gateway to the secret realm.
"We need reinforcements! The enemy's firepower is too intense; the gate is about to fall!"
"Quickly inform Lord Banikoli! There are far too many enemies!"
"Damn it, how did these humans discover our portal?"
"The priest! The priest is here!! Come quickly and save him!"
"Tonight is the moon-worship ceremony, and almost all the priests have gone back. Only two junior priests are on duty... We're simply too busy!"
"Hold on, just a little longer! Lord Banikoli is coming soon... We have to hold on, even if it kills us!"
The Long-Eared Clan, their eyes bloodshot with rage, were a far cry from their docile appearance!
"Great! It's Lord Banikoli!! It's here!! We're saved!!"
High in the sky, a long-eared rabbit clad in black, shimmering armor was seen blasting through the air as it approached—it was none other than Banikoli, the strongest warrior of the [Laurel] tribe!
Facing the imminent breach of the gate, Banikoli instantly drew his longsword, raised his arm, and shouted, "Warriors! Follow me to kill the enemy and protect our homeland!"
"Kill, kill, kill!!!"
A large number of Long-Eared Tribe members suddenly appeared from all directions, their sheer numbers drawing attention... Ah Xi Ruo was genuinely surprised at this moment.
Compared to the Long-Eared Tribe warriors who are now being mobilized, the Long-Eared Tribe members seen at the Moon Worship Ceremony Square were just the tip of the iceberg.
"This number..." The true dragon of Shenzhou slowly exhaled, "The rabbits' reproductive capacity is truly..."
Just how many Long-Eared Clan members are hidden in this secret realm... tens of millions, hundreds of millions?
Even the true dragons of China, who have lived since ancient times, have never seen a war scene of this scale... But in the void, these are probably just child's play.
On the airship, Avril, as the high priestess, was directing the priestly procession to the battlefield... In the distance, hundreds of giant airships were rapidly approaching.
Each of these airships was carrying a giant object covered with a canvas... probably some kind of war-level mega-weapon?
At that moment, the warriors and priests on the airship silently surrounded Captain Luo and his group.
"What are you trying to do?" The impatient Shenzhou Zhenlong frowned and shouted in a deep voice.
"Hmph! Our tribe has lived here for generations, and has never been discovered!" A priest who appeared to be of high rank said angrily with a gloomy face, "But today, you humans have just arrived, and our gates have been invaded... It must be you, as spies, colluding with those greedy humans outside!!"
"Yes, they must be spies! Arrest them!"
"Burn them to death!!"
The Long-Eared Clan and the priests were pressing closer. Ah Xiruo frowned, looked at the still calm Boss Luo, and whispered, "What should we do? You're not planning to negotiate peacefully with these rabbits at this point, are you?"
“We have leverage,” Boss Luo suddenly chuckled.
"What?"
Then, Ah Xiruo saw a rather wicked smile on the dog man's face—and then, out of the blue, the dog man shoved a purple egg into Ah Xiruo's hand.
It was none other than the egg of the [Laurel] mythical beast!
Ah Xiruo shuddered instantly, and at the same time understood Boss Luo's intention—as for why he gave it to her, she didn't think much about it at all.
"Don't come any closer!" Ah Xiruo raised the divine beast egg in her hand and sneered, "High Priest, after all, you don't want this divine beast egg to never have a chance to hatch, do you?"
On the upper deck of the airship, Avril, who was directing the sacrificial troops, couldn't help but change her expression slightly as she observed what was happening on the airship with a detached eye!
How could the divine beast egg be here...? When I left the temple, I clearly sealed away the [Laurel] divine beast egg under the guise of protection, right? When did they take it back? I was with them the whole way, so I shouldn't have had time to intervene!
But at this moment, there was no time for her to think it through, mainly because Ah Xi Ruo was holding up the divine beast egg, which was real!
Humans... can be dealt with later, but the [Laurel] divine beast absolutely cannot be allowed to make any mistakes!
"Stop! What are you doing?" Avril shouted instantly. "This is our honored guest who awakened the [Laurel] divine beast for our clan. He is our benefactor! How can you do this! Get out of here at once!"
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances and could only retreat silently.
Ah Xi Ruo chuckled and casually tossed the divine beast egg in her hand—this move is called "using the egg to command the great-grandmother!"
—You know what, being the bad guy is... kind of fun?
