Soul of Burning Steel

A gloomy sky.

The dark clouds were heavy, the drizzle was falling, and the slightly cold air was mixed with mist, covering the dimly lit mountains and forests.

A gust of blood-smelling wind passed through the forest, causing the trees to sway, revealing a narrow path trampled by wild beasts.

The path is difficult to walk, and the wet soil is like a swamp when it rains, which can firmly bite the soles of people passing by, coupled with the rugged mountains and possible wild animals, even the most experienced loggers and hunters will not Willing to pass by here at this time.

But there are always some people who are not allowed to go this way due to some compelling reasons.

A tired girl with red hair and pointed ears, with a pair of dragon wings on her back, was stumbling and walking forward with difficulty along this animal path.

There was a knife wound on her right arm with deep bone visible. The wound was scorched by high temperature and turned into a mixture of blood scab and coke. There was a large hole in the abdomen that was almost transparent from front to back, and the wriggling internal organs could be seen. The wings on the back were also They were all full of arrow wounds, the membrane had been completely torn, and one or two arrows that hadn't been pulled out could even be seen stuck in the flesh and blood.

The girl was so seriously injured, even if she died immediately, it would not be surprising, but she was still able to grit her teeth and go forward desperately on this trail. Not only that, as time passed, the girl's injury seemed to be getting lighter and lighter, only ten In a few minutes, most of the lighter wounds have healed.

Not long after, the Dragon Wing girl stopped. She felt that her wings were a little itchy, so she simply frowned, and stretched out her hand to pull out the arrow embedded in the flesh, only to see a stream of black blood spurting out. It turned out that most of the wounds on the girl's wings had healed, and the regenerated muscles squeezed the arrowheads, causing itching.

"It depends on you again, I can escape..."

The girl touched the robe on her body with a complicated complexion. This simple white robe was emitting a faint light at this time. The light was extremely pure and holy. It gently brushed over the girl's body, healing everything on the girl at a speed visible to the naked eye. Wound.

Gradually recovering from her injuries, the girl started trekking in the mountains and forests again, walking towards the depths. The dense forest was extremely oppressive in the rain, and the tall trees and branches were like thick umbrella covers, completely blocking the flowing wind, leaving only the damp and gloomy rain gas. The swamp-like ooze under the feet adheres to the soles of the shoes, making it take more effort to lift the feet every time. In the depths of the dark forest, there is a sound of rustling, like some creature moving, which is frightening.

But the Dragon Wing girl was not afraid of these things. She looked in the direction of the noise and showed a fierce expression that she thought was fierce. If this expression was placed outside, it might not scare even a five-year-old child, but at the same time, a The power from the giant dragon also pressed in that direction.

Suddenly, the dreary mountain forest boiled, like ripples on a calm lake where a boulder has been thrown, countless grotesque, black birds with three legs flew out from the branches and leaves, and ferocious beasts could be heard hurriedly trampling on the fallen leaves, The sound of fleeing from afar.

Although it is not the Longwei of a purebred dragon, the coercion from the top of the food chain is still very useful even if it is a little weaker.

Moreover, this Longwei not only drives away wild animals, it also seems to wake up something.

The dark forest suddenly began to squirm. This is not a description, but a true fact—just the second after the dragon wing girl issued the dragon power, the originally quiet mountain forest suddenly started to move like a living thing , the ground is undulating, and there are countless traces of tree roots interlaced underneath.

"Silja Ferragni, you shouldn't be here."

In the end, a mass of twisted and twisted tree roots protruded from the ground, mixed with soil to form a huge half-human figure more than ten meters high. On the head of this huge tree man, a dark green flame burned in the black one-eyed socket. Light, it said to the Dragon Wing girl in front of it with a low voice, "You and the pursuers behind you are not welcome in the Dark River Forest..."

The tree man, who was about to drive away the uninvited people, suddenly stopped talking.

Because the girl named Shilia took out a gemstone that exudes a warm light.

This is a translucent sea-blue drop-shaped gemstone, with a hazy luster like water mist flowing on it, and the rainbow-like colorful light is refracted in the water mist, making it look extremely gorgeous.

"The great king of the forest, the master of the swamp, Lord Urbandeni, I am willing to offer the seed of this holy stone in exchange for your protection."

Silya's voice was dry and hoarse. The white robe could heal her injuries, but it couldn't make the girl's lost blood return to her body. The gem was thrown to a giant treant named Urbani.

And the treant also took the gem. It stared at this gem with its one eye, which seemed to contain a sea. It was almost pure energy condensed into a gem, and it was silent for a long time.

Finally, it gave a humane sigh and shook its head.

"...The King of Dark River cannot refuse your offering."

The hand made up of countless tree roots made a small opening, allowing the sea-blue gemstone to enter its body. The huge treant turned his head, and the dark green flame looked at the girl. It said in a rumbling voice: "You and I Flesh and blood are different, and will never violate their own principles, your sacrifice makes me happy, so I will protect you for twenty days."

"But remember, the little girl with dragon's blood is only twenty days old."

While speaking, the huge treant gradually collapsed, recovered into countless tree roots, and retracted into the earth, but the magic power shook the atmosphere, and still made a deep voice like thunder: "The army of the dead will arrive in the forest in three days. Edge, you must stay in the deepest part of the forest, otherwise I cannot guarantee your safety."

"Yes, Monsieur Urbani."

After hearing the other party's agreement, Xier Ya breathed a sigh of relief. She softened and leaned against the big tree behind her.

The girl was extremely exhausted, and she was already exhausted after being chased by the enemy for many days. But now, she has come to the Dark River Forest, one of the few neutral shelters in the dark world, so within twenty days, her safety will be guaranteed. minimum guarantee.

And just when the red-haired girl with dragon wings seemed to be about to fall asleep, the voice of the huge tree man sounded again in the forest.

"A piece of advice, girl of dragon's blood."

At this time, Urbani's tone has softened a lot: "In this era when dead shadows are revived and demons are dancing, a person is useless. Why don't you go to the gathering place of the survivors in the west and talk to them?" Fight those monsters together?"

But Shiriya didn't reply, something unexpected happened suddenly.

She looked at the robe on her body in a daze, her expression full of confusion.

On the pure white and unsophisticated robe, for some reason, conspicuous silver light patterns suddenly lit up. These light patterns are extremely complicated, they overlap each other, and finally converge into a few simple runes that contain infinite mysteries Lines, these lines are emerging layer by layer with four different lights of white, silver, blue and colorless, and finally converged into a mass of holy white light.

"What are you doing? Stop!"

Urban Deni seemed to have noticed something. Numerous tree roots were entwined, and a huge treant rose from the ground again. It stretched out its hand, as if wanting to stop the change of the robe on the girl's body.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"call------"

Accompanied by the roaring sound that seemed to be the roar of the long wind blowing over the mountains, rivers and swamps, the entire forest trembled, and an extremely dazzling beam of light centered on the girl with dragon wings shot straight to the sky, penetrating in an instant Cleared the dark clouds and reached the end of the world.

"Again... again?"

Shiriya pressed her forehead, looking at her spontaneously running robe in bewilderment. She encountered a similar thing almost a year ago. That time, the robe that suddenly became active spontaneously emitted almost The endless light wiped out the army of dead shadows chasing her, causing the enraged enemies to send out several times the number of chasing teams before, causing her to flee desperately to this day.

But now... Xierya raised her head and looked at the holy beam of light centered on herself. She had a vague premonition in her heart.

Let's say, the last time was a miracle created by some kind of magical resonance.

Then this time, it was my mysterious magic robe handed down from my ancestors, actively calling to the distant place.

"I was hunted down because of you, and I was saved again and again because of you."

Because of this pure white robe, the girl who has been exhausted since the cataclysm muttered to herself in a tone of hatred or confusion: "But I still don't know why..."

"How many secrets are behind you..."

And the huge treant, staring at this beam of light, withdrew his hand, and then whispered to himself in an emotional tone, "...the light of the saint."

"Will the prophesied day really come...this dark world..."

Another world, a few days after this scene.

The black-haired warrior let his weapons do it himself, cleaning the body of the black dragon beside him, but he himself stood aside, looking at the urgent message brought by the communication officer in his hand.

"What is it that you need to use a special urgent communication?"

Joshua opened the envelope strangely, and glanced at the few short lines above.

——In the target world, the inheritance of the fourth sage has resonated and sent out the coordinates on its own initiative.

After verification, the authenticity of the coordinates can be confirmed 100%.

He casually lit the letter paper and turned it into a puff of green smoke. Joshua stood there thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?"

No. 3 in mid-air floated in front of the soldier, she looked at the black-haired man's naturally raised mouth, and asked curiously, "Why do you look so happy?"

"nothing."

Replying casually, Joshua raised his head and looked at the rare clear sky in Moldavia.

The sun in the northern region was not too hot, but it was very dazzling, but the soldier looked directly at the sun like this, and the burning fire in his eyes could not be suppressed even by the bright sunlight.

"Just excited about the upcoming adventure."

In the middle of the chapter where the magic wave is approaching, and before the battle with Herras, it was because of grandma’s death and various jet lags that I was in a bad state when I wrote it...but it’s finally coming to an end
