LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 777 Searching Mountain
Maiev stepped forward again, walking at the front of the team and taking on the important task of leading the way.
In this three-person team, although two of them have the ability to transform into the wilderness and can soar into the sky as birds, at this moment they chose a safer way of walking. Because flying in front of the giant dragon is tantamount to becoming a conspicuous target and seeking death.
Being in the mountains, the high altitude makes the weather very extreme. The biting cold wind carries the ice and snow, and the silver-covered slopes are like a white canvas.
Priestess Maiev was extremely careful every step she took. She gently tested the depth of the snow with her toes, for fear of accidentally stepping into a trap. She was keenly aware that some seemingly solid snow actually hid murderous intent, and the three of them could be buried under the cliff if they were not careful.
Fortunately, Neltharion mainly used the cave resources on the mountainside to cast his metal armor. Therefore, they were somewhat relieved that their current location was not the most troublesome mountain top.
Although the road ahead is still difficult and dangerous, at least they don't have to walk the long journey to the entire mountain.
Levin was hopeful and firmly believed that they could successfully reach the safety zone at the foot of Tianshan Mountain before dawn.
However, fate seemed to be playing tricks on them again. Suddenly, a huge body flew through the air at a staggering speed. Its appearance made the three of them suddenly nervous.
Levin quickly hugged Maiev and quickly threw himself and her down in the snow, trying to avoid each other's sight. Malfurion followed closely behind, hiding in the same pattern. They held their breath nervously for fear of being discovered by the other party.
At this moment, they were like three little quails in the snow, trembling and praying for the blessing of fate.
That behemoth was the crazy guardian of the earth. Perhaps it was because the black dragon fell into a state of madness that they were able to escape temporarily. The black dragon angrily searched for stolen treasures in this area, spitting hot lava at every mountain peak it passed. The lava violently hit the mountain. The force was so great that the entire mountain collapsed in an instant. The boulders poured down like a torrential rain, hitting the ground and raising dust all over the sky.
Fortunately, he didn't seem to use magic to detect this area, otherwise they would have been discovered by him and would have nowhere to escape.
Malfurion raised his head and looked at the sky with a frown: "Damn it, where is the crazy dragon going?"
Levin also raised his head and stared at the black dragon's movements solemnly: "From my perspective, his flight direction seems to be————"
Before he finished speaking, Deathwing suddenly changed direction in the air and flew straight towards them. At that moment, the air seemed to freeze, and they felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.
"Run!" Maiev shouted, breaking the brief deadlock.
The three people immediately jumped up from the ground and ran forward with all their strength. Their goal is a huge rock formation that may provide them with a chance of survival. Levin looked back as he ran and saw the dragon's figure gradually enlarging in his field of vision.
From the ferocious expression of the black dragon, it was difficult to tell whether he had discovered them, but there was no doubt that he was approaching them quickly.
Just after they jumped onto the rock formation, Levin's ears heard the blood-curdling roar of the black dragon, which foreshadowed that he would spray lava dragon breath again.
"Quick, come here!" Priestess Maiev pointed eagerly at a huge protruding rock. The edge of the rock seemed to provide them with some shelter. However, under this violent storm, where could it be a real safe harbor?
An earth-shattering explosion suddenly occurred on the hillside, and with the deafening roar, the rock formations seemed to be torn apart.
In an instant, the rock formation they were on disappeared without a trace, leaving only fragments scattered everywhere. The temperature in the air rose suddenly, and the ice and snow that originally covered the hillside melted rapidly under the hot lava. Thousands of years of accumulated snow instantly melted into huge chunks of ice, sliding down the hillside with water marks, and finally shattered at the bottom of the mountain with a deafening noise. On one side of the mountain, puddles formed by melting ice and snow made a hissing sound, as if telling the tragedy of this catastrophe.
Deathwing hovered over the ruins. He stared at everything destroyed beneath his feet, his blazing dragon eyes revealing satisfaction and arrogance. However, he didn't seem to notice the three people hiding behind the rock. The giant dragon slowly flew closer to the ground, and its nose made a snoring sound from time to time to express his disgust for this ruin.
With a deafening roar, he turned around and flapped his wings again. This time, he flew towards the mountain where the nest was located.
Under the shelter of the rocks, the three people stood up in disgrace, their bodies covered with dust and melted snow. Levin coughed a few times and hurriedly checked the space pocket. When he touched the familiar disk, the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, Maiev's mood was not much relieved.
She frowned and said worriedly: "Deathwing will definitely come back. Levin, Malfurion, we must leave this dangerous place before he comes again."
They shook off the mud and snow from their bodies and continued to walk down the mountain carefully. Although the black dragon's violent roar echoed in their ears from time to time, fortunately, the giant dragon did not appear in their sight again. Despite this, the three of them still did not dare to be careless at all. They quickened their pace and hurried down the mountain.
When they were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, Levin stopped and looked down at the valley below, his face becoming solemn: "This place is very strange, I don't recognize it. I feel that we are too far away from Crassus."
As he said that, he closed his eyes and seemed to be trying to sense something, "Besides, I can't feel his presence now."
"Krassus may have been hiding. After all, the black dragon has been dispatched and is in an extremely violent state." Malfurion thought for a moment and speculated, "But no matter what, we must find him and ensure his safety."
After discussion, the three people decided to go down the mountain first and then make plans. They knew very well that time was tight and they had no time to stay and wait for Crassus. But they also believed that Crassus, as a lookout, might be in a much better situation than they were who were running around.
Soon, they entered the valley that was shrouded in darkness all year round. The towering mountains cast heavy shadows in the deep valley, like deep cracks.
This time, Levin, who had the strongest perception, walked at the front of the team, followed closely by Maiev, while Malfurion was responsible for holding down the formation. Even though they are far away from Deathwing's core territory, they still need to be wary of a few cunning goblins popping up somewhere.
...*.........
They originally planned to turn left to return to the place where they parted ways with Crassus as soon as possible.
However, when they took only a few steps in that direction, they were shocked to find that the front was already the edge of a cliff with mountains and rivers, and they could no longer move forward.
Facing the desperate situation in front of him, Malfurion thought for a moment and suggested: "If we choose another direction, although it may take a long detour, we can still reach our destination in the end.
So, they immediately changed their route and chose an opposite path to continue moving forward. This road is covered with gravel and rubble left behind by the black dragon's violent behavior, and every step is extremely difficult. Fortunately, many gaps and paths were formed between these rocks, which provided unexpected convenience for their progress. They carefully shuttled between these gaps, not only to be alert to possible dangers, but also to find a way forward.
At this time, the deafening roar sounded in the ears again. It was the roar of Deathwing, announcing his return. The three of them hurriedly pressed their bodies against the bottom of the mountain wall for fear of being discovered by the giant dragon.
They held their breath and carefully peered into the sky. They saw the giant dragon hovering above their heads, carefully looking at the area. Fortunately, Deathwing did not discover their hiding place and eventually disappeared into the distance.
Only then did the three dare to step out of the shadows.
"It's strange, we only saw Deathwing. Where have the other dragons gone?" Malfurion said with confusion on his face, "I remember there should be other black dragons in the dragon lair."
"Neltharion would definitely not dare to let those black dragons participate in the search for the dragon soul." After hearing this, Levin replied without thinking: "The power of this disk is too powerful, and it has an irresistible attraction for any user. . If those dragons find the disc first, they will probably be unwilling to return the dragon soul to Neltharion in order to monopolize this power - and the dragon soul is enough for ordinary dragons to defeat Neltharion. Salario, Neltharion knew this very well, so he chose to take action personally to ensure that the disk could be successfully found and fall into his hands. "
It can be said that Black Dragon's suspicion has inadvertently given the three of them a lot of help.
Deathwing is wary, lest his kin find the dragon soul before he does. In the process of just using it, Levin has deeply experienced the majestic power of the Dragon Soul.
He himself was wary of the Dragon Soul and did not dare to let go of the energy of using the artifact, but even so, the Dragon Soul exerted such an exaggerated effect in his hands.
Because his mind is firm enough, he is amazed by the power of the dragon soul and at the same time can remain vigilant about it. He is extremely restrained when using it [without completely releasing the power of the dragon soul].
However, even so, the power displayed by the Dragon Soul in his hands is staggering enough.
Imagine, if a guy who is willing to be seduced by the dragon soul is in charge of this disk, the consequences he can ultimately cause will be even more thrilling and difficult to estimate.
Even Deathwing fell under the temptation of the ancient god. An ordinary black dragon cannot resist the corruption of the dragon soul at all. After getting the artifact, he will definitely turn his back and refuse to recognize anyone. If he can fully activate the dragon soul's With such power, any adult dragon could possibly defeat Deathwing. .
