Chapter 579 (1/2)
”Ting, ting.” Red, yellow, blue, green and cyan-colored radiances flashed. Immediately, a beautiful harp melody resounded, dispelling the ear-piercing shriek. The five colors circulated around the heads of everyone, making them feel at ease.
Liuli played with her fingertips skillfully dancing across the strings of her harp. Although she had mastered only the first five notes of her Soul Locking Seven Notes, her current might already far surpa.s.sed her previous self. This technique could be counted as an attack magic that belonged to the spirit magic category. It could shake and disperse the spirits of opponents yet could also protect the spirits of allies.
Not long after, Liuli stopped, and her Seven Colored Glaze Harp disappeared. However, the five colored radiance circulating above everyone's heads didn't disperse even as the haunting echoes of her notes faded away.
Now without any pressure on their spirits, everyone relaxed and looked around them. The scenery around shocked them. The boundless green gra.s.sland they had glimpsed a moment ago was already shrouded by mist. What's more was that even their companions standing beside them were barely visible.
Long Yi's complexion changed upon sensing that the pressure around them was getting stronger and stronger, but he slowly calmed down and said solemnly, ”Everyone, be careful. We cannot use barriers to defend ourselves in this G.o.d-d.a.m.ned place.”
”I know. Just a moment ago, I thought to put up an isolation barrier, but I was unable to do so,” Leguxiya bitterly said.
”Young Master, did we activate the magic array of this forbidden ground? I don't think that Dragon King and the seven great elders would be attacked like this,” Li Qing said. His tone was flat without any anxiety. After going through the Moxi Clan's 18 Paths of Testing, his nerves had already become tough and nearly indestructible. Even if he knew that he would die in the next second, he would not even frown and instead choose to remain calm. Relying on his calmness, he had escaped death many times.
”As I see it, those old fellows must have noticed us, so they activated the magic array of this place,” Midi'er hatefully said.
”Who cares! Whoever dares to obstruct me, Barbarian Bull, will be pulverized.” Barbarian Bull said, brandis.h.i.+ng his Greenstone Rule. A familiar blood-red radiance appeared in his bull eyes. This was a kind of bloodthirsty radiance. The worldly pressure had made his blood boil with pa.s.sion.
Just at this time, as if the Heavens had heard Barbarian Bull's brave words, a hole suddenly split open beside him, and a silent suction force pulled him in.
Barbarian Bull was startled, but he quickly moved his center of gravity down and nailed his legs to the ground. But, his upper half had already sunk into that hole. He felt a chilly feeling had begun to spread all over his body.
”** your mother!” Barbarian Bull roared and swung his Greenstone Rule around him.
That strange hole vibrated, and a sad and shrill dragon roar resounded out of nowhere.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Even Midi'er and Leguxiya also looked confused and shocked.
”It seems to be a soul, a dragon's soul.” Long Yi said with a frown. He had noticed a powerful soul fluctuation, but there had been no undead aura. It truly was somewhat strange.
”Dragon's soul? Could it be…” Midi'er exclaimed in surprise.
”What?” Long Yi asked.
”When one of our clansmen die, Dragon King and the elders will seal that dead clansman in this forbidden land. It can be said that this forbidden land is our Dragon Clan's graveyard,” Midi'er replied.
Long Yi suddenly saw the light. So it turned out that the dead clansmen of the Dragon Clan were sealed in this forbidden land, becoming a part of this forbidden area's big array. They were responsible for attacking. This truly was making the best use of everything. Even in death, the clansmen could aid the clan.
When Long Yi revealed his thoughts while watching Midi'er with a smirk. The she-T. Rex unexpectedly blushed. In the ruins of the Divine Dragon Main Island, when Long Yi had proposed to make use of those bones to create undead, Midi'er had obstructed him saying he shouldn't blaspheme the dead. But now, in this place, her Dragon Clan was not only using the remains of their clansmen, they were also cultivating the souls using unknown magic.
Merely, this calmness didn't last long, overwhelming attacks soon befell them. One after another, big s.p.a.ce rift-like holes appeared around everyone, and a powerful suction force pulled at everyone. Without a doubt, if they were sucked into these holes, their final ending would definitely be death. Long Yi even wondered whether these holes might be the big mouth of those dragon souls and connected to a different boundless s.p.a.ce. In other words, these holes might very possibly be true s.p.a.ce rifts.
The Greenstone Rule of Barbarian Bull shone with a faint green light as he swung it around him, knocking these big holes shut. The Ice Sword of Li Qing was also no exception. With an indistinct G.o.d beast outlined around him, he emitted a powerful aura, his cold qi freezing the holes around him.
Midi'er and Leguxiya appeared far more hasty and disorderly: their dragon power and dragon breath were not too effective against these souls, so they could only dodge them to avoid being sucked in.
