"Master Qinglan!"
Tao Na cheered and went up to them, her eyes full of admiration.
The girl in the green dress nodded slightly, jumped off the dragon's back, and threw her long hair behind her head in a chic manner.
Flynn looked at the girl in the green dress.
He was deeply impressed by her slender figure, beautiful face, and especially her elegant temperament.
When he was young, he had a crush on Tao Na.
However, after so many years, I have come to realize that Tao Na is not interested in men and prefers to be close to her beautiful sister.
"Taona, have you forgotten my sister and Sonia?"
"No..." Tao Na felt a little guilty and said in a low voice, "I am a person who...is more philanthropic!"
"You fall in love with every girl you meet, and you never tire of the old one, right?" Feilin sneered and teased her in a low voice, "In fact, when it comes to being unfaithful, you and Allen are the same kind of people."
Tao Na's cheeks flushed red, but she had no way to refute it, so she simply pretended not to hear his teasing.
With a scent of grass and trees, Qinglan came up to the two young Galaxy Guards and her eyes fell on Feilin.
"Are you Taona's friend, Alan Panthers?"
"He's not Alan!" Tao Na quickly introduced, "This fat guy is called Feilin, and he's another good friend of mine."
"His bloodline and cultivation?" Qinglan asked directly.
"Giant beast angel bloodline, late fifth stage." Tao Na answered for Feilin.
"His cultivation is too low, but his bloodline is quite rare. I think he has some potential."
Qinglan nodded and then asked Feilin:
"Are you interested in coming to our Emerald Royal Court and joining the Life Church? This will be of great benefit to your future development, and you can also obtain a lot of free practice resources."
"Excuse me, respected Master Qinglan, I have already joined the Holy Light Church."
Fearin held up the sword and showed her the holy symbol engraved on the hilt.
"Holy Light Church? Haha..." Qinglan curled her lips in disapproval, "I feel sorry for your choice."
After saying this, she turned and walked towards the gate of the teleportation tower.
It seems that he has completely lost interest in Feilin.
Feilin looked a little embarrassed.
Tao Na's heart was shrouded in a gloom.
Master Qinglan, as a mid-level priest of the Church of Life, expressed his disdain for Feilin's choice of the Church of Holy Light in front of her.
From this, it can be seen that the Church of Life and the Church of Holy Light do not seem to be so united in private.
In terms of faith, the more devout a person is, the more paranoid he becomes and the less tolerant he becomes of paganism.
The churches founded by the seven great suzerains each have very different doctrines. Even if the suzerains can live in harmony, it is difficult to prevent their fanatical believers from regarding each other as heretics.
If this continues, the conflict will intensify and something serious may happen...
"You two, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and catch up."
Qinglan urged impatiently.
Tao Na came back to her senses and quickly replied: "Wait a minute, Alan hasn't come yet!"
"What time do you want to meet?" Qinglan asked.
"Nine o'clock."
"It's already two minutes past nine and he hasn't come yet. What's going on?" Qinglan's face darkened.
"Uh... maybe something happened and delayed me."
"I hate people who are not punctual the most!"
Qinglan turned around and continued walking forward.
"Master! I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of Alan. Please wait a few more minutes." Feilin chased after him and apologized with a smile.
"Why should we wait? Can't we do without him?" Qinglan asked back.
"Uh... my friend is very capable. Having him with us can be a great help to us!"
"I heard that he has a good bloodline talent. How high is his cultivation level?" Qinglan asked.
"Late sixth stage."
"Haha..." Qing Lan sneered, "So, do you know how high my cultivation level is?"
Feilin shook his head blankly.
"Eighth stage late stage!" Tao Na quietly reminded her friend
Feilin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and tried to remain calm.
"Master, my friend Allen's cultivation is certainly far from comparable to yours, but he has a unique skill, and he is good at detoxification!"
"Think about it, we are going to the underworld to carry out a mission this time. We may encounter an eighth-level underworld poison dragon. The team is missing Alan, the master of medicine. What if someone gets poisoned?"
Feilin felt that his argument was well-founded.
As a result, Qinglan sneered contemptuously again.
The girl in the green dress elegantly lifted her long hair by her ears, inadvertently revealing the sandalwood bracelet on her wrist.
On the bracelet, there is a coin-sized emblem carved, which vaguely resembles a flower bud about to bloom.
This is the holy emblem of the Church of Life.
"I am an eighth-level natural sorcerer, an 'Apostle of Life' , and an awakener of the 'Eternal Spring Domain'. Don't you think I can't cure the eighth-level Leviathan toxin?"
Feilin was speechless in response to Qinglan's question.
I saw Qinglan leading four silver dragon servants and walking into the gate of the teleportation tower.
Tao Na and Fei Lin had to follow because they wanted to complete their mission first.
Three people and four dragons stood in the center of the teleportation tower hall.
Qinglan gently stroked the Galaxy Ring to activate the teleportation permission.
The magic circle under his feet was humming and emitting magical light.
In a flash, a thick beam of light shot up into the sky.
Everyone's figures disappeared collectively.
…
Shadow underworld.
There is no sun and very little natural light.
Most areas are shrouded in eternal darkness.
The darkness of the underworld is thicker and deeper than the darkness of the material world. Even "dark vision" is useless in such an environment.
Fire and light magic are weakened, while undead and dark magic are strengthened.
In addition to the undead, there are also living creatures in the shadow underworld.
Creatures that have lived in this environment for a long time will gradually mutate and eventually transform into half-human, half-ghost shadow creatures, with even their blood turning as black as ink.
The dragons that transform into shadow creatures are called "shadow dragons".
The Shadow Dragon absorbed magic from the darkness, becoming more powerful than before, and its temperament also changed towards being brutal and vicious.
The primary hunting target of this trip is "Pale Moon" Qiaro, a fallen shadow silver dragon.
The "City of Memories", the branch of the Holy Demon Ancestral Court in the underworld, was once the highest power center in the underworld.
Ever since the death of the previous generation of "Lord of Death", the Holy Demon Ancestral Court has been slow to awaken the "origin of death" and reincarnate a new generation of sect leader.
The City of Memories, having lost its owner, has lost its former glory.
In the city shrouded in darkness, a tall tower was erected, with a pale glow emanating from the top.
In the center of the gloomy square, a beam of teleportation light rose up.
Feilin walked out of the teleportation array and looked around with curiosity.
This was his first time coming to the underworld, and he found the landscape of the "City of Memories" seemed familiar.
“It looks a lot like an observatory tower, but it’s also a little different.”
"That's right." Tao Na followed, "It is said that the City of Memories is the distorted projection of the Observatory Tower in the underworld."
At this time, footsteps were heard from the opposite side.
A petite figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
The little girl in a white dress is holding a rag doll in her arms.
Her pretty face was sickly pale, and her lips were unusually red.
The charming fox eyes should be very alluring, but they look dull and lifeless.
"Hi! Nora, long time no see!"
Tao Na didn't have much friendship with this porcelain doll-like girl, but out of politeness, she took the initiative to step forward and say hello.
Everyone formed a temporary team to complete a not-so-easy task together, but their relationships were too cold to fight side by side.
Nora deadpanned.
The rag doll Cynthia in her arms seemed quite friendly.
Waving little hands and grinning.
"Taona, Feilin, hello! Where are the Allens? Where did they go?"
"Alan has something urgent to do. There is no time to form a team. He may have to act alone."
Feilin explained for his old friend.
"He's just too busy! He couldn't come and didn't even tell me in advance!"
Cynthia complained bitterly.
The tone of his voice sounded as if he was an old friend of Alan.
Qinglan came over with her silver dragon servant.
His eyes fell on Nora, revealing a hint of curiosity.
"Are you the little girl who has the blood of the Crimson Mist Demon, the Vampire Count, and the Moon Angel?"
"I've heard a lot about you recently. You have great talent. After practicing in the riverside hut for a month, you have broken through to the seventh level and awakened the super-limit realm. You have a bright future."
"Big sister, you have good taste! You can see that my mother is a genius girl!"
Cynthia put her hands on her hips, her face full of pride, as if Qinglan was admiring her personally.
Qinglan looked at the strange mother and daughter.
The mother was as silent and dull as a doll.
The spirited daughter of a ghostly doll.
...It's really hard to put it into words.
"Nora, you are very good, but unfortunately your bloodline tends to be undead, so you are not suitable to join our Life Church."
Qinglan sighed regretfully, and then asked Nora - or to be exact, Cynthia .
"Is Kuroba here?"
"I'm here."
A man's voice came from the dark corner.
A thin figure slowly walked out of the shadows.
A dark velvet cape with the hood pulled down low.
His hair covered half of his face, leaving only one cold eye exposed.
Hei Yu is a four-star galactic guard who lives in the underworld all year round.
Cultivation level is late eighth level, necromancer.
His strength is similar to Qinglan's, and he has also awakened the super-limit realm.
He will serve as the team's guide for this operation.
The treatment of Galaxy Guards is linked to their star level.
A four-star guard is like a noble knight in the secular world.
You are eligible to obtain a territory and build your own power in any of the major planes controlled by the Holy Demon Ancestral Court.
When he goes out, he is accompanied by guards.
Qinglan's guard consists of four silver dragons.
Black Feather's guards appear to be twelve fully armed knights.
The knight's body was wrapped in thick black armor, and his face was covered by a visor.
Through the gap in the visor, pale eyes can be vaguely seen.
In fact, the twelve knights are not living people, but so-called "ghost armors".
If you take off their helmets, you will find that there is nothing inside the armor.
The incorporeal ghost, possessing the magic armor, made the empty steel shell come alive.
Fight like a true armored knight.
Each of the twelve ghost armors around Hei Yu has a sixth-level combat power.
Qinglan's silver dragon guards have an average combat power of level seven.
To the entire team, the combat effectiveness of the two newcomers, Tao Na and Fei Lin, seems dispensable.
Qinglan and Heiyu don't mind them sharing the merits with the team, but they won't deliberately hide their contempt for them.
They just chat among themselves and don't even bother to introduce the new people around them.
Nora, who has reached the early seventh stage of cultivation, has awakened the realm of transcendence, which is worthy of Qinglan and Heiyu's attention.
It's just that Nora was too introverted. Whenever she had to communicate with others, Cynthia did it for her and she refused to say a word.
There was no need for Qinglan and Heiyu to lower their status and actively approach her.
Hei Yu led the way and headed to the Styx Pier.
Everyone will board a boat at the dock and sail on the Styx until they reach the place where the roots of the World Tree and the whirlpool of the Styx intersect.
The elven city of Xiguang City fell into the underworld and hung precariously above the river, entangled by a bunch of thick tree roots.
If the roots of the tree are cut off, the entire city will fall into the River Styx and be swallowed by a huge whirlpool.
The roots of the world tree regenerate infinitely.
There are only a very few weapons in the world that can completely cut it off.
One of them is the dragon's fang soaked in Leviathan toxin.
For this purpose, Pale Moon Qiaro is preparing a blood sacrifice in the city to summon the poisonous dragon of the Styx.
Everyone must stop this crazy behavior before the shadow silver dragon completes the summoning ceremony.
"Master Hei Yu, can we cast a spell to teleport directly to Xiguang City? Wouldn't this save more time than sailing?"
On the way to the dock, Feilin asked Heiyu.
Hei Yu glanced at him and said calmly, "This question is too troublesome to explain. I am too lazy to waste my breath. Just follow me."
Feilin scratched his head awkwardly and kept silent.
At this moment, Cynthia's laughter came from the side.
"The matter in the underworld is always flowing, without fixed directions or coordinates."
"In this damn place, it's difficult to accurately locate teleportation magic, and coupled with the interference of dark magic, if you're unlucky you'll be teleported directly into the River Styx, fill your stomach with river water, and turn into an idiot!"
"So it's safer to sail on the river."
"The ghost ship we are about to take has a 9th-ring magic special effect called 'Traveling Together in the Spirit World'. It can pass through obstacles on the waterway and take shortcuts directly to reach our destination very quickly."
After listening to her explanation, Feilin suddenly understood and looked at the doll with gratitude.
Compared to the silent Nora, Cynthia seems easier to get along with.
The security situation in the City of Memories, where the lord is absent, is worrying.
A large group of strange-looking monsters were wandering around the dock.
It smelled the scent of a living person from afar and rushed over screaming.
Taona and Feilin quickly prepared for battle.
"What kind of creature is that? It's black and disgusting..."
Taona muttered to herself.
"The Mourning Demon Clan, the most common evil demon in the underworld."
Cynthia was as enthusiastic as ever in her introduction.
"There are five types of mourning demons."
"The most numerous ones are the little black-skinned monsters you see. They look like ghouls and are called 'miserables'."
"They hunt in groups, and when they see a living thing, they pounce on it, bite it, and suck its blood crazily."
"A shadow in the sky, called 'Lost', floats across the wasteland, exuding a depressing aura."
"A tall, skinny monster with arms that look like harpoons. His name is 'Lonely'."
"Usually, he would stand still in the shadows, but when someone approached, he would rush forward like crazy to hug them, piercing his sharp arms into their bodies, fusing their flesh and blood together, never to be separated."
"The fat monster with a big grin and a mouth full of saliva is called 'Hunger'. Driven by its insatiable appetite, it devours all prey crazily."
"And the leader of this group of mourning demons is a deformed giant with two heads. His name is 'Wrath'. If you hit him once, you will be counterattacked twice as hard."
"How strong are these grieving demons?" Tao Na asked.
"The most miserable and weakest, with an average combat power of only level 1."
"Disappointment is about level 3, loneliness is level 4, hunger is level 5, and anger... level 6 or level 7, depending on how angry he is."
Cynthia crossed her arms and analyzed seriously.
"It looks like we're going to have a tough battle."
Feilin drew his sword, his face solemn.
Qinglan frowned slightly, turned her head and said to Heiyu: "Don't waste time here, let's fight quickly and decisively."
As he spoke, he activated the "Eternal Spring Field", and a soft light radiated from his body, illuminating the area for miles around him as bright as day.
The extremely large radiation range is the characteristic of "Changchun Benyuan".
Within the range of light, no matter what season it is, the weather will become sunny and warm like spring.
Qinglan's allies can also gain the special effect of "Rejuvenation Array", which will slowly heal injuries, restore health and replenish energy every second.
Based on the Changchun field, Qinglan can mount two super-limit skills.
She chose "Daylight" and "Spirit Guardian".
In the underworld, light magic such as "Daylight" is suppressed, but the illumination of the superimposed domain itself basically offsets the suppression of the dark laws of the underworld.
The grieving demon, born in the underworld, immediately panicked when illuminated by the light, and screamed in pain while covering its eyes.
The "Spirit Guardian" is mounted on the field, and its coverage area is expanded a hundred times, enveloping all the mourning demons near the dock, continuously inflicting light damage, and slowing down their movement speed.
Four majestic silver dragons spread their wings and flew towards the demons.
Amid the roars, they swooped down one after another, spewing out cold currents.
The mourning demons were frozen into ice cubes piece by piece.
The survivors were terrified and fled with difficulty.
"Haha... come back to me!"
There was a sneer on Hei Yu's lips, and he held a ball of pearl powder mixed with honey in his hand.
A low, humming sound emanated from his palm and spread out in all directions.
The 8th-level "Resonance" is cast on all mourners and controls their will.
This forced the group of evil demons to give up their escape and turn around to walk straight towards Heiyu, as if he was holding a treasure that the demons were desperately pursuing.
The evil demons trudged through the area covered by the "Super-Limited Spirit Guards", being struck by the light every few seconds and falling one after another on the way.
The ghost knights behind Hei Yu took off the longbows behind them, aimed at the mourning demon, and shot arrows infused with magic power.
Swish, swish, swish!
The arrows shot by the Ghost Knight are not only extremely powerful, but also enchanted with the "ghost" special effect.
Even the virtual evil demon "Lost" could not dodge and was killed instantly by a single arrow.
In just ten minutes, thousands of grieving demons were slaughtered.
Hei Yu walked onto the pier littered with corpses and raised his left hand.
On the pale and skinny middle finger, the galaxy ring is shining.
Hei Yu moved his thin lips and chanted a spell in a low voice.
In response to his call, ripples rose on the river.
A huge black three-masted sailing ship surfaced.
The water stains on the deck sizzled and turned into steam.
This is the "ghost ship", a means of transportation on the River Styx.
Hei Yu led everyone onto the boat.
There are no ghosts on the ghost ship.
In fact, the ship itself is "alive".
The so-called ghost refers to the will of the sailboat itself - the ship spirit.
Hei Yu established a mental link with the "ship spirit" and issued orders.
The sailboat started slowly and sailed automatically on the wide river.
The dark river flows quietly, the water exudes a biting chill, and the edges of the floating ice drifting with the waves are as sharp as knives.
Feilin stood by the side of the boat, touched the fishing rod in the storage bag, and resisted the urge to cast a cast.
The River Styx is home to countless indescribable monsters.
If you were dragged down and filled with a belly full of Styx water, even your own mother wouldn't recognize you.
At this moment, a column of light suddenly appeared in the distance on the river bank.
Qinglan looked up and her expression changed slightly.
"Who is teleporting in the underworld? They really don't know how to live or die!"
"He was lucky that he didn't crash into the River Styx."
"But he will suffer next."
Qinglan's assertion was soon verified.
In the dark and empty wasteland, the magic light was too conspicuous.
It soon attracted the evil spirits and ghosts wandering in the wasteland, and they gathered around in groups.
Suddenly, a blinding flash of lightning split the sky, and thunder suddenly exploded in the dark sky of the underworld!
Boom! !
Numerous demons and ghosts were instantly shattered by the thunder.
Everyone on the boat was also deeply shocked and their faces changed.
Immediately afterwards, another strange sight appeared over the wasteland.
The huge golden palm, shining brightly, covers the sky and the earth.
With a casual wave, he swept away a large group of evil demons, shattering their bones and flesh and splattering black blood.
There was an endless stream of screams coming from afar.
"Thunder in the Finger... That's Alan's unique skill!"
Feilin jumped up excitedly.
"Our late teammate is on the shore!"
