Chapter 3968 The Song of the Purple Moon (19)
"coming……"
When Morgan arrived, the others had already arrived a step earlier... at the foot of an inconspicuous little hill in front of the tribe's gate.
"Let's not delay, let's hear what this so-called Lord Boros has to say!" said the orc Goshu directly... there was no point in exchanging pleasantries anyway.
Each person took out their token, which then combined to form a phantom image of a mirror... and the long-absent Lord [Boros] appeared in their sight.
"Lord Boros, as you instructed, we have successfully infiltrated the Laurel tribe's secret territory." Morgan paused for a moment, then added, "However, the Laurel tribe's resistance is far stronger than we anticipated, especially their weapons..."
"The [Moonlight] Cannon is indeed incredibly powerful, but it's not unlimited in its use." Lord Boros's voice was remarkably calm. "The [Laurel] tribe's reserves won't last long with the [Moonlight] Cannon, so there's no need to worry."
The group exchanged glances discreetly, and the orc Goshu asked directly, "When will you appear, sir, so we can prepare?"
"What, are you in a hurry for the treasure?" Lord Boros said calmly.
"We're just worried about not being able to cooperate well with you," said the orc Goshu with a chuckle. "Besides, the master has already agreed to let us enter the treasure trove to select treasures, so why are we in such a hurry?"
"When the time comes, I will appear." Lord Boros added at the end, "Rest assured, I will definitely appear before the full moon power of the Purple Moon disappears."
There were only two or three hours left before the power of the full moon disappeared, but each of them had their own thoughts at this moment.
"I need you to do something for me," Lord Boros suddenly said.
"My lord, please give me your instructions!"
Lord Boros's voice carried a hint of coldness, "Golden Shak is currently in the tribe's secret realm. I need you to kill him for me, preferably reducing his body to ashes."
"Shaq?!"
The veteran Void Hunters were all secretly taken aback... [Golden] Shaq was no ordinary pirate; he was a formidable figure who had even killed [Beast Tamer] Mochi!
“My lord, [Golden] Shaq’s strength is unfathomable. I’m afraid we alone will find it difficult to complete the mission in a short time…” Morgan thought for a moment and did not refuse outright. “This requires meticulous planning to ensure a decisive victory.”
A direct confrontation is definitely not an option, but assassination, even at a cost, is not entirely impossible—it's just a matter of whether it's worth it.
They're all just after money, there's no need to risk their lives... [Gold] Shaq isn't some legendary figure who overlaps with their own and is destined to be killed.
"Don't worry, since I sent you to kill him, I naturally wouldn't be unprepared."
"This is?"
Within the illusory image of the light mirror, something emerged and slowly flew to the group... It was an irregularly shaped stone, about the size of a palm, bearing a peculiar symbol.
"This runestone will allow you to control the residual power of the [Laurel] Divine Tree in the secret realm for a short period of time," Lord [Boros] said in a deep voice. "Use it to suppress [Golden] Shak, and you will have ample time and opportunity to kill him."
The group exchanged a glance.
If that's the case, then this vote... is totally worth the risk!
Although Golden Shaq and their respective destinies have absolutely no connection, a powerful being like Golden Shaq could kill him, devour his essence, and plunder his divine techniques based on rules…
"Shaq's current location?"
The one who broke the silence was that aloof young man.
[Boros] said calmly, "The tribe's sacrificial plaza... they should have already entered the statue. Go, after completing the mission, I will personally lead you to open the [Sea God] treasure."
……
After the communication ended, everyone sealed the tokens away again, so as not to give the so-called "Lord Boros" any chance to spy on them.
"...So, are we really going to kill [Golden] Shaq?"
Why did Boros suddenly want us to do this?
“Risk and reward are proportional.” [Orc] Goshu took the runestone from Morgan’s hand and examined it. “This runestone does indeed possess a strange power. Holding it, I can vaguely connect with a dormant power in the secret realm… It should be true.”
"Then let's move out," Morgan declared decisively. "Besides, we've come this far; to unlock the treasure with the appearance of [Boros], we... have no other choice!"
……
……
At the entrance to the portal, amidst the mountain of corpses of long-eared warriors, an indescribable figure slowly walked by.
Drops of murky liquid dripped from its body into the soil—it seemed to remain perpetually wet.
The liquid that fell into the soil could create a puddle several meters wide with just one drop... The water flowed slowly into the pile of corpses of the long-eared warriors.
"stand up……"
It issued a low, hoarse command.
"stand up……"
"stand up……"
……
……
"That guy, he's really good at hiding..."
Eva, one of the Four Knights of the Holy Revelation, suddenly frowned. Although she said she would not underestimate the rat that had escaped from Lord Claude's hands, the rat's ability to hide still made the female knight dissatisfied.
Why hide it?
—They should have stood up and let me kill them…
"Here, continue searching for that rat."
Gerdoff tossed a delicate pocket watch into Eva's hand—some kind of special tool for finding missing persons.
"Where are you going?" Eva asked, puzzled.
Gazef glanced up at the sky and saw the [Moon Holy Light] turret airships that Banikoli was protecting so well. "I'm still a little concerned about those ancient [Moon Holy Light] cannons. I'll go check what's going on."
After saying that, Gerdov immediately disappeared from Eva's sight.
Eva couldn't help but shake her head. Her colleague was always overly cautious in strange ways... Even if those ancient magic cannons were really creations from before the Old Gods, it wasn't anything special.
The void is so vast that it's not unusual for someone to occasionally unearth relics from the Old Gods... This [Moon Holy Light] cannon is at most a second-rate product.
"Ugh, these rats..." Eva's sharp gaze swept over the chaotic battlefield. "Why don't you show yourself?"
She let the pocket watch in her hand fall to the ground.
The pocket watch began to sway slightly, then gently lifted in a certain direction.
……
"what happened……"
The witch frowned, paused slightly, and cautiously observed her surroundings with a mixture of doubt and apprehension... but found nothing of interest.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," the witch shook her head.
Just now, a sense of foreboding flashed by... Miss Witch is someone who trusts her intuition completely, and the sudden feeling of unease made her immediately adjust her course of action.
"I'll make some arrangements... You wait for me here, don't go anywhere."
Then the witch mysteriously left... This time, for some unknown reason, the witch did not secretly leave any means of surveillance—except for the button she had put on Xiaomeng.
Xiao Meng kicked a small pebble away out of boredom, then her red eyes flashed as if she had thought of something fun.
The next moment, Xiaomeng remained still, but the ground where she was standing began to "move".
"I didn't leave, this land just left on its own~" Xiaomeng chuckled. "I didn't break any of the contractual obligations to obey~"
She smiled and gently tapped the button at the end of her blazer.
"You agree, right? [Newbie]... I wonder what size cutie she is?"
[Niu Bingwei] I don't know my number: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing...?
……
……
For Gazev, it was not difficult to sneak onto one of the "Moonlight" gunboats without being noticed by Banić.
After the first round of attacks, these [Moonlight] cannons will soon be fully charged again.
On the airship, the Long-Eared Tribe priests were busy at work, seemingly ignoring Gazef's sudden appearance and allowing him to stand openly in front of the [Moonlight] turret.
"As expected, it's not a product of the Holy Demon Empire of this era... but it's really rare to see such a well-preserved artifact from the old era."
Undoubtedly, the power of this old-era [Moonlight] cannon was superior to that of the current one; however, it was significantly inferior in other aspects.
After all, not every creation from the Old Gods is necessarily stronger than that of the New Gods... Civilization will always progress, especially in terms of technology.
"Who are you, and why are you here?"
Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out from behind Gazef... The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse did not panic at all, but calmly turned around.
She was wearing a priestess robe, both holy and alluring, a highly contradictory High Priestess Avril!
"Oh, you were able to spot me?" Gerdov looked at the other person with a hint of curiosity.
Without a doubt, this high priest of the Long-Eared Tribe is quite the enchanting beauty created by the Creator... If this type were born in the Holy Demon Empire, she would probably be capable of wreaking havoc in the court.
"High Priest!"
"How...how can there be humans here?!"
Meanwhile, the priests who had previously ignored Gazef were now horrified.
"Step back!" Avril shouted in a deep voice, the golden scepter in her hand shimmering with golden light. "Leave this place immediately!"
One by one, the priests obeyed the orders perfectly and swiftly flew out of the airship... On the airship, only Avril and Gazef remained, staring at each other.
"State your name, human!"
Gerdoff chuckled softly, “If you can tell me the origin of these [Moonlight] cannons, I will truthfully tell you my name… beautiful lady.”
"Then take your secret name and return to the embrace of the void's will." Avril sneered and swung her golden scepter.
Golden Strike!
A dazzling golden light instantly swept towards Gazef!
However, the power of the Golden Strike vanished the moment it touched the opponent... All that could be seen was a faint glimmer on Gazef's golden armor before it instantly returned to calm!
Avril was secretly taken aback. The Golden Strike couldn't even damage the opponent's defense in the slightest?!
“It seems the Will of the Void doesn’t intend to accept me.” Gazef chuckled. “High Priest, I have no ill intentions towards your tribe for the time being…would you like to reconsider my suggestion?”
Avril's expression darkened slightly, and she remained silent.
Gerdov said calmly, "I have plenty of time, but if you don't take command of the high priest soon, this war will become very difficult for your tribe, won't it?"
—It's already very difficult!
—The number of these treasure hunters far exceeds expectations! Banikoli alone simply cannot protect all the [Moonlight] airships!
However, the opponent's strength is impossible to estimate...
...That's the only way!
Avril took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her anger. "Fine, I can tell you, but you must promise not to take advantage of the situation and attack the [Laurel] tribe!"
“I’m here to find someone, and I have no interest in invading,” Gazef chuckled. “Of course, that includes the so-called ‘Sea God’ treasure.”
A strange light flashed in Avril's eyes, and she nodded slightly. "These [Moon Holy Light] cannons were unearthed along with the statue of the [Sea God]. They were all dug out from the [Black and White Abyss]. Our ancestors spent a lot of time and effort to gradually figure out how to use them."
Gazef frowned slightly. "The statue of Kalithorpe is here? What about the temple?"
"What temple?" Avril seemed taken aback.
“Since there are idols, there must be temples to enshrine them.” Gerdov narrowed his eyes. “As a priestess, you don’t even understand such a simple principle… Madam, you seem rather dishonest?”
Avril said with a helpless expression, "Okay, there is indeed another temple, but it is completely broken... There's nothing worth studying here. If you want to go, I can tell you its location."
“Okay.” Gerdoff nodded.
“The temple is actually located in the Black and White Abyss…” Avril said, suddenly swinging her golden scepter again!
It's still the golden strike!
Gerdoff shook his head slightly, and this time he flicked his finger, a wisp of wind instantly dispelling the power of the Golden Strike, and the wind even continued its momentum, piercing through Avril's shoulder.
Grandma let out a painful groan and fell to the ground in horror.
“Madam, you seem to be quite dishonest.” Gerdov walked over slowly.
"You..." Avril's face was still filled with shock!
With a determined effort, Grandma actually did something that even Gazef, one of the Four Horsemen of the Holy Revelation, took notice of... and for a moment she even lost her composure!
Suddenly, the great-grandmother tore open her clothes!
"you?"
Gerdrey, who should have seen all sorts of grand scenes, had never witnessed such a grand scene before—at that moment, the surrounding space suddenly began to move extremely rapidly!
A golden light suddenly shot out... It was the light that had just gathered together the golden strike that he should have dispelled!
The next moment, Gazef disappeared from the airship.
Avril let out a soft sigh. "Since you're so eager to see that temple, then you can see as much as you want!"
She stood up, slowly gathering her torn priestly robes, her gaze shifting between light and shadow. "Bannigiri, I will infuse you with the power of the sacred tree... Slay these vile and greedy invaders to your heart's content!"
In an instant, the light and shadow of the sacred Laurel tree in the square, which was nurturing new life, began to tremble.
……
……
"here……"
Having momentarily abandoned his defensive stance, Gazef frowned and looked around... while also feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.
Why can't I change this habit of instinctively wanting to be polite when facing a beautiful woman?
There's no doubt that Avril didn't have the power to harm him... but she did transfer him.
This place seems to be a special space?
"This is... a temple?"
The environment resembled a hollow mountain, with a dilapidated temple half-embedded within it... Just as Gerdov was lost in thought, a beam of light suddenly fell from the sky.
From within the pillar of light, several figures slowly emerged.
……
"Where is this?"
"Sister-in-law, how would I know? You gave me the key! This... Brother, you're so knowledgeable, do you have any explanation?"
“I’ll listen to Miss Long.” Captain Luo blinked.
Ah Xiruo: You better really be!!!
The true dragon of Shenzhou rolled his eyes, his gaze quickly falling on the huge temple half-embedded in the mountain ahead. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's go take a look there. We should be able to find some clues."
[Gold] Shaq quickly opened the map—but the map hadn't changed this time.
"My dear brothers and sisters-in-law, please be careful. I'll go scout ahead!"
[Gold] Shaq waved his hand and instantly summoned hundreds of Sandmen and the old actor's Sand Serpent.
