Shao Zifeng continued to look down. The next few wall paintings seed to be trying to convey the intensity of the battle by using a large number of aningless and abstract shapes, leaving him completely clueless about what they were actually describing.
"Ying ying!"
Qiuqiu, however, found them extrely interesting and humd and chirped his own opinions.
Later on, more and more bizarre creatures joined the battle, while the Six-winged Dragon at the beginning had fled.
He had fled...
Well, he was thought to be a king.
Shao Zifeng comnted sarcastically and looked at the next wall painting.
Gradually, Shao Zifeng furrowed his brows.
Normally, as a primitive form of art, wall paintings reflect only the societal situations of the painters.
One aspect is materialistic, these paintings reflect the architecture and culture of that ti, or they record so historical facts. The other aspect is spiritual, including religious beliefs or people’s fantasies about the afterlife.
The painting in front of him, within the context of this world, depicted a battle thousands of years ago, but after the Six-winged Dragon fled the battlefield, it continued to focus on it, seemingly worshipping the dragon personally.
Hmm...
Or perhaps it should be called the three-winged dragon, as it lost three of its wings in that battle.
He saw the Three-winged Dragon arriving at a mountainous region, where its treasures of gold and silver piled up in the valley, the sky filled with lightning and thunder, and the surging sea gradually subrged the whole continent.
"Eh?"
Looking at the smooth wall in front of him, Shao Zifeng let out a slight exclamation; the wall painting ended very abruptly.
As Shao Zifeng scrutinized the wall, he felt a mont of dizziness.
Shao Zifeng steadied himself against the wall, shaking his head as the dizzy sensation slowly faded away.
Shua shua!
At that mont, a grating friction sound broke the surrounding silence.
Shao Zifeng’s pupils constricted as his muscles tensed.
Shua shua!
Fine sand fell from above, and Shao Zifeng suddenly looked up to see a line abruptly appearing on the smooth wall, as if soone were carving a new painting.
The irritating shua shua sound continued, and rough lines erged one after another.
Shao Zifeng held his breath, his eyes following the invisible carver’s movents.
Gradually, the sowhat rough lines slowly outlined the figure of a man, who had a small lizard on his shoulder and behind whom stood a dragon with three drooping wings.
Is this... myself?
Shao Zifeng’s heart pounded violently a few tis. He turned his head stiffly; the harsh friction sound in the darkness stopped suddenly.
Behind him was a deep darkness, and scattered gold coins reflected a faint golden glow in the dark.
Shao Zifeng’s violently beating heart slowly cald as he turned back to the wall painting.
The man in the painting, originally facing away from him, was now looking right at him with a sinister smile on his lips.
Shao Zifeng froze in place.
Plop!
A crisp sound of a water drop ca from the deep darkness, and Shao Zifeng felt a droplet fall on his mask.
He slowly lifted his head.
In the darkness, four pairs of bright eyes were staring at him unblinkingly.
...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Tens of ice elental arrows whizzed past, and countless monsters scrambled through the dwellings of the Fog Whale Clan.
"Hiss!"
A monster roared as it leaped high into the air, and the next mont, an arrow sunk deep into the monster’s open mouth, splattering blood everywhere and pinning it to the towering doorfra.
The monster’s corpse swayed in the midair with the wind as several monsters pounced on it greedily tearing and biting, while the rest continued to surge toward the town square.
"Roar!"
Twenty-one enraged Kobebite beasts roared furiously, surrounding Kadu and others in the middle, attacking the swarming monsters.
Boom!
The ground waved and cracked like waves; jagged boulders jutted out from the ground, crushing monsters caught unawares, dark blue viscous blood instantly spurted out, and the limbs of monsters outside the boulders instantly went limp.
Even though the twenty-odd Kobebite beasts attacked with all their might, their bodies were too large compared to the monsters; occasionally, so would break through their encirclent, rushing toward Kadu and the others at the center.
Swoosh!
An arrow pierced through a monster’s chest, and icy crystals exploded inside it.
Kadu, trembling, drew another arrow, suddenly feeling a gust of wind behind her; she abruptly turned around and shot.
Bang!
The arrow, unenhanced by elental particles, was deflected by the keratin layer on the monster’s body. The monster’s eyes, gleaming with greed, stretched out its fingers and lunged.
"Leader!"
"Clan girl!"
"Roar!"
Then, a bright white figure, carrying a gust of wind, pinned the monster to the ground and bit down on its neck.
Crack!
The round head gushed a jet of blood, rolling a great distance as it spun.
Kadu patted her towering chest: "Mimi, be careful."
"Roar!"
The muscular white tiger shook its tail and turned to pounce on the next monster.
"Clan girl, are you alright?"
Seeing that the situation was temporarily under control, Cam and others slowly gathered around, looking at Kadu with eyes full of concern.
Kadu shook her head, her trembling fingers picking up a few arrows: "Continue, kill this group of monsters."
"Yes!"
"Hiss~"
Monsters fell in droves under the strangulation of Kobebite beasts and warriors, and the frequency of their attacks gradually decreased.
Bang!
An ice-elental spear penetrated the last monster’s body, driving it deeply into the giant rock.
The howling cold wind blew over the collapsed buildings, gradually diluting the foul sll of blood in the air.
Thump!
Ilya lay on the ground gasping for air, he tore off the mask from his face, revealing a face that remarkably resembled a mixed race of Eastern and Western descent.
He squinted at the sky and suddenly laughed, "We won, we won, hahaha!"
The warriors of the Fog Whale Clan embraced and laughed together, shouting in bursts: "We won!!"
"Hiss~ don’t touch my hand, I’ve shot so much I’ve worn out the skin."
"Aren’t you also pressing my hand... Give so dicine, quickly."
Cam took out ointnt from his bag, looking at them helplessly: "Stop complaining, let apply dicine on the clan girl first, and you all go pick up the arrows."
Several warriors looked at each other and lay on the ground moaning.
"I can’t get up unless I have my dicine."
"Idiot, I just need a kiss from sister Cam."
"Hehe... I’m different, just a footstep from Sister Cam is enough for ."
Ilya looked at Cam, who was applying dicine to Kadu’s hand, and said resignedly while picking up the spear beside him, "Forget it, I’ll go."
Cam nodded, "Be careful."
"Yo, Brother Ilya is showing off in front of Sister Cam again."
"Just be sour, why don’t you go?"
"Aren’t you also not going?"
Ilya glared at them and walked towards the crowd of monsters, leaning on his spear.
Just as he passed by a corpse, the monster’s body by his feet suddenly trembled.
Ilya’s pupils contracted, and he thrust his spear towards the monster’s head.
Pu-chi—
A spray of crystalline blue blood blossod, and Ilya incredulously lowered his head to look at his own chest, where a thin, withered hand was clutching his still-beating heart.
Clang!
The spear fell powerlessly from his hands, and Ilya knelt on the ground. His vision slowly blurred, and as he opened his mouth to say sothing, a gush of fresh blood spewed out.
"Ha...haha... run!!"
The distant warriors of the Fog Whale Clan were stunned. They watched incredulously as Ilya knelt on the ground.
Behind him stood a monster, different from those they had seen before, its limbs extrely thin, like black lines.
"Brother Ilya!!"
"Leader, quickly save Brother Ilya!!"
"Damn it, it killed Brother Ilya!"
Several warriors raised their spears, with surging ice elental particles quickly gathering at the spear tips: "Kill it!!"
Kadu commanded coldly, "All of you, hold your fire."
Hearing this, the warriors displayed a look of reluctance as the surging ice elental particles slowly dissipated.
The tall, slender monster slowly turned its head, its narrow, withered face without any expression.
Pu—
It pulled its right hand out of Ilya’s chest, tossing the still faintly beating heart into its mouth and chewed a few tis with its frosty teeth, spilling a great amount of blood and residue.
"Roar!"
Amid the rumbling tremor, Ilya’s Cobalt Beast charged at the monster with eyes glowing red, the upward-curving teeth flashing bright white light.
Facing the frenzied giant beast, the monster tilted its head without making any evasive movents.
The luminescence on the Cobalt Beast’s fangs grew more intense, and it lowered its head to fiercely scoop at the monster.
Booom!
The Cobalt Beast’s furious strike was massive, pushing up massive boulders that pressured each other and rolled, mixing with dust and flying debris.
All eyes fixated on the rising dust, anxiously awaiting the outco.
As the smoke gradually cleared, Kadu’s pupils suddenly contracted.
"How is this possible."
"What kind of monster is this!"
There, the monster stood unscathed in the collapsed pit, surrounded by sharp, upturned gigantic boulders, its thin hand stabbing out from within the Cobalt Beast’s pupil, its thick blood flowing down its arm.
Boom!
The body of the Cobalt Beast softened, collapsing to the ground.
The monster slowly pulled its hand out of its eye, licking it, and showed Kadu and others a sinister smile.
Kadu looked uneasy, turning to Cam saying, "Give that thing to , and all of you hide behind ."
Cam hesitated, "Tribe maiden..."
"Quick!"
Clasping his teeth, Cam took out a piece of fish fin resembling white gauze from his bag and handed it to Kadu, while the others quickly hid behind her.
The monster tilted its head, and the ground beneath it exploded suddenly, propelling itself towards the group like a missile.
Watching the monster that was as fast as lightning, Kadu bit her finger and pressed it against the fish fin; upon contact, the patterns on the fin lit up one by one.
Kadu’s eyes turned into a crystal-like color, and her long ponytail danced wildly. Mysterious and complex patterns erged from her fingers and gradually spread up her arms.
"Eternal raging winds of the Ice Prison Cold Abyss, by the na of our tribe’s guardian totem, turn your millennia of fury into the strength I wield against my foes!"
Whir!
Kadu’s silver hair flew wildly in the wind as her mask also fell off.
Her light blue face was covered in mysterious patterns, and her crystal-like icy eyes showed no hint of emotional turbulence, as a pair of gauzy ear fins fluttered in the wind.
Watching the approaching monster, Kadu’s cold and undefinable voice rose in the wind.
"Totem Guardian!"
"Woo~"
The mont her voice fell, the gauzy fish fin in her hands burst into intense light, and suddenly, ethereal and undefinable whale songs echoed in the wind. A gracefully shaped white whale slowly materialized, its fins fluttering as if dancing in the wind and shielding Kadu and the others within.
Boom!
The monster’s claws struck the phantom white whale, creating ripples like water waves.
Unsuccessful in its attack, the monster, seeing the continuously spinning whale before it, displayed a ferocious expression and once again raised its slender claws, striking the whale’s phantom repeatedly in madness.
Watching the increasingly ethereal white whale, Kadu took a deep breath, raising her right hand high, the gauzy fish fin above her head spinning wildly.
Kadu’s eyes erupted in brilliant light, and the patterns on her face ca alive. She then pressed her raised arm down towards the monster.
"Totem Whale Dance!"
"Woo~"
The gauze-like fish fin in mid-air exploded violently, and a phantom white whale erged from the void, striking fiercely at the monster.
Boom!
Violent shockwaves raised the surrounding collapsed buildings, and the monster, unable to dodge, was thrust up by the whale’s phantom.
Along with the wild airstream, the broad gauze fins of the whale’s phantom flapped, driving the monster upward into the sky where a fierce explosion occurred, light blue circles rapidly spreading in all directions while shattered limbs fell like hail.
Kadu’s floating hair fell, her ear fins disintegrating into elental particles, and the runes on her face vanished imdiately.
Seemingly drained of her strength, she fell to her knees, gasping heavily.
"Tribe maiden."
"Leader!"
The Fog Whale Clan warriors, gazing into the sky in a daze, rushed to Kadu, clumsily helping her up when they heard the noise.
The White Tiger and the bronze-colored Cobble Beast also gathered around, big eyes full of worry, lowly whining at Kadu.
Cam knelt on the ground, gently feeding Kadu water with caution.
Kadu licked her dry lips, saying in a hoarse voice, "That Zifeng... found yet? We must leave... here quickly."
Cam gazed at her tenderly, "Tribe maiden, you drink so water first, let us handle the rest."
"No..." Kadu suddenly burst with strength, grasping Cam’s hand, "We must... leave quickly, the totem tells ... danger is still not over... leave."
"Leader... we can’t leave anymore." At that mont, a voice full of terror ca from behind them: "You all, look... over there."
Everyone hurriedly turned around, their faces turning bleak.
They saw that all the monster corpses on the ground had turned into mummified remains, with five or six limb creatures staring directly at them.
Click!
Seeing the group look over, the creatures simultaneously tilted their heads, baring their mouths in a bizarre smile.
