Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 557 Manu's Desperation (The Torment of Igoros 360)

"This is like a hard-hit area swept by a tornado." Lyle looked around and exclaimed.

Originally, this place should be a redwood forest. This kind of tall plant can grow to a height of tens of meters. The dense needles and water vapor contained are enough to block the sun, just like giants taking root on the ground.Lyle looked at the diameter of the redwood tree stump around him. Only a dozen or twenty people could hug each other. These 'giants' must have been quite tall before they collapsed.

Although their wreckage is still very spectacular.

These big trees are all broken, leaving only stumps a few meters high. The broken gray bark and soil blend with each other, regardless of each other. maze.Moss and fungus made their home on the giant wood's carcass, but in places where there was no green cover, Lyall could still make out the marks left by some beast or something.

"That's the paw print of Broll's black bear, a kind of aggressive blind bear, who will find something to satisfy his desire to destroy without prey. It's the kindness of nature that this kind of creature is not extinct." Mr. Zhiyan said to these obvious Bumps and bumps have plenty of interest, and in his words, it’s like solving a puzzle, “Here are the tracks of monsoon hornbills or iron-billed woodpeckers. The former likes to dig holes in tree trunks to build their nests, and the latter is just playing. Oh, the gap There are also spores from the rotten capricornus, which means that whatever it is, it is dead."

The situation of Mr. Julong and Mr. Zhiyan is similar. The magnificence of the collapsed red shirt maze did not cause much surprise in their eyes. When they came to a new environment, their life as explorers made them habitually observe their surroundings and search for traces.But unlike the boastful Zhiyan, Mr. Julong stopped walking in front of a section of horizontal giant tree.

It was a huge fracture, and the sawdust on the edge seemed to be squeezed and exploded. The jagged marks basically ruled out the possibility of being torn down by strong winds. The growth rings on the reddish-brown section were blurred, and the black spots in the center penetrated from both sides. Like rotting mold.

Lyle couldn't think of any huge animal that could make such a mark. Combined with the purpose of this trip, Lyle made a bold hypothesis.

"Could it be the bite mark of a dragon?" It's not unreasonable to conjecture, after all, Ashplink used to have a dragon.

"It's new, Lyle, and this mark hasn't been there for more than five days..."

"I'm starting to feel like my guessing sucks."

"It's even worse. Have you noticed those black spots? That's Corruption, the predecessor of Curse... It's too slow to take effect, so it was kicked out of the Seancery textbook."

Lyall stared at Mr. Dragon's face, but unfortunately, he didn't see any joke.

The scholar's reminder called everyone over.

"I think I've found the person who played the dragon flute." The scholar stretched out a hand, and the space in front of him began to fluctuate and blur, and soon the scholar placed the shaking on the redwood blocking the way.As if resonating, a part of the giant tree also began to shake, and regular lines appeared on a complete whole.

The scholar stopped casting spells, and the red cedar blocking the way was dismembered into countless three-centimeter wooden cubes and rolled down, revealing the road behind, a distorted figure lying on the ground.

The slender musical instrument with a certain curvature was not far from him, and the lower half was still covered with dust.

"He is crystallizing." The scholar immediately began to rescue the Manu, and Lyall observed the seeker.

The body length is about 1.5 meters, the whole body is dark, and the skin color is similar to rock.Although Mr. Scholar emphasized the slenderness of the Manu, Lyle still described him as thin as a hemp stalk.Either the scholar's memory was faulty, or the Manu was malnourished.The posture of curling up on the ground, not much better than famine refugees, created some bad feelings in Lyle's heart.

"His gemstone is broken." The scholar was holding a mottled stone that was not much more beautiful than a pebble in his hand, and it had lost its luster. Using gemstones to refer to that thing was an insult to gemstones.The crystallization of Manu continued, his legs had begun to degenerate, and a rough, shale-like ore texture was forming on his surface.He is dying.

"We need this guide." The scholar took out an expensive and beautiful sapphire from his pocket, and put it on the deformed groove. Mr. Scholar tried several times, but he couldn't put it in. The twisted curved groove could no longer accommodate it. Any regular gem. "Dragon, I need your assistance." The scholar handed the sapphire and Manu to the dragon.

"How? Squeeze it in?"

"That's the only way to go, this bad gem has deformed his body. Don't worry, the magic power of the sapphire is enough to repair his wounds."

A tooth-piercing creaking sound appeared in Lyle's ear as the giant dragon's arm turned, followed by a click, and it finally settled before the Manu was completely crystallized, although Lyle clearly saw a broken The edges and corners flew out.

The next scene dispelled Lyle's worries.

The body of the Manu who got the sapphire began to grow, and the brilliance cast by the sapphire bathed the whole body of the Manu. His growth soon surpassed his original appearance, and finally reached a slender figure of 1.9 meters.The body turned dark blue, and the arms had tiny diamond-like crystal facets that reflected sunlight.

The Manu opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, and bowed humbly to the scholar.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Morroki. I am Marcelo Darkstone, a Manu of Ashplink."

"Have we met before?"

"No, but I got your sapphire. What I got is not only strength and vitality, but the gem also has its own memory." Marcelo's words are clear and elegant, which is completely different from the original refugee posture. two people.The texture of the gem determines the posture of the Manu, and Lyle has a deep understanding of this sentence.

"Lord Morokei, on behalf of the Manu family of the giant dragon family, I request the help of the dragon priest, please save my people."

"It seems that Manu has also undergone drastic changes. I remember that your original gem reserves should not cause the current predicament. Where are your gems?"

"Being taken away, not only that, even the crystallized gems of the companion's death transformation will also be taken away. Our ethnic group is on the verge of extinction. We have fought, but to no avail. Now, even blowing the dragon call flute can also be taken away. killed me."

"You already knew that if you blow the dragon-calling flute, you will die, and if I move slower, you will die too."

"At least I brought hope to my people, and I'm still alive."

"What about your army? Your strength used to be comparable to that of the mystics. Who is the enemy? It will make you powerless."

Marcelo closed his eyes, his voice full of sadness.

"It's our crazy leader, the dragon priest Koloss, and his dragon."
