The Spirit World

Chapter 994 Shadow Falling (Thirty)
[Hehehe…hahahaha——]

The lamb showed its fangs. The louder he laughed, the more powerless he felt. He lay on his back, crossed his hands, looked thoughtful, and his head lowered like a pendulum.

[However, I really don’t like that old bone… Even if it is put into the death cabinet, it is just a body without a soul. It is better not to take it out…]

He seemed to be somewhat disgusted with his body that had been eroded by time a thousand years ago. The old calluses and spots kept climbing up his face, and the sound of his bones brittle seemed to have happened just yesterday.

[I have never seen a human being who is not afraid of aging. Even if one is young and vigorous now, after a certain age, one will eventually realize the horror of aging. This is time, time.]

The sheep slowly stood up again and glanced at her who was secretly watching it.

[Why do you keep a goblin around? How come I've never seen one before? ]

Its puzzled look made her a little evasive. She trembled slightly when it called the word "fairy" a few times. Now the sheep called it suspiciously again and looked at her. She could only lower her head and hold her hands tightly.

"Lord Xun Huangying, she is very cute~"

Artanis slipped out from Chang Yufeng's heart and glanced at it secretly. Even if he gave it hints, what could be hidden from this cute sheep?
[Oh~ Really? A little scum who has been at the Golden Level for so long, a ball of fire in his heart, a god who has been dead for a thousand years, and a little goblin who just met. If they were to walk on the road, wouldn’t they be laughed to death by the [God’s Messenger] hiding in Sarahma?]

It began to yell: [Wuhu! Is this a bit like the story of a legendary hero? From the weakest! To the strongest!]

It suddenly shouted excitedly!

Perhaps because it had been separated from its sheep for too long, its mental state was sometimes good and sometimes bad. It was excited at this moment, and then suddenly became weak.

[Ah~ I really want to compete with them again... Now I am itching to fight! Hehehe! ]

It bumped its fists together, wanting to show its tough guy nature, but because it was a cute lamb, it was only cute and adorable.

"Lord Xun Huangying~ That person should live in Salahma~ That person~"

Artanis was also excited, but couldn't remember the name of "that messenger of God" for a moment. He could only excitedly call "that one". He excitedly flashed out from Chang Yufeng's arms and stood next to the lamb.

"This is it!"

Artanis roared, and his entire body of fire transformed into a beast wrapped in flames with spikes bursting out of its back.

Its four claws grasp the ground, its fiery whiskers spread out, its long ears rise like the wind, its body is burned by flames, its pupils are like diamonds, its fangs are sharp, its tail is like wings, it is aggressive without wind and stares at you like a tiger without waves.

He eats raw meat and drinks blood, and is bloodthirsty to the point of being crazy.

The fire hound transformed by Artanis howled in Artanis's accent, but it could still allow the flames to turn into spikes, making it look quite terrifying.

Just thinking about the fact that this hound was as huge as a ten-meter-high tower, the sense of oppression was not something that the tiny Heartfire Artanis could compare to.

【【颲颼】, a bad guy. Humph. But not worth mentioning! 】

The lamb scratched its own hooves, and the non-aggressive hooves only made a strange "puff puff" sound.

"About to arrive……"

Chang Yufeng stretched out his hand from his black robe and grabbed the hilt of the sword on his back. Artes slowly separated from the scabbard, and the green light became brighter and brighter, as if the sword itself had realized that a fierce battle was about to take place.

Only after Chang Yufeng spoke did she follow suit again.

The lamb turned around, and the fire in its heart returned to its place. A huge glowing crystal tower stood in front of it. The forest finally moved a little, and the branches and leaves separated under the moon. Looking up from below, the crystal tower looked more like a unique cage, trapping everything in Salahma.

The city gate was at the end of the forest, and the monsters that had been hiding in the darkness along the way finally showed up, but they stared at Chang Yufeng and her fiercely and did not dare to come forward.

Only then did she realize how many terrible scenes she had just walked through. The more mysterious this young man became, the more unfathomable he became.

Although she didn't understand what was so powerful about the Golden Rank, but from what that arrogant lamb said, the Golden Rank was not a level of power worth mentioning.

But...if this is true, it would be even more incredible.

Salahma is located in the southwest corner of the principality, which is also the southeast corner of the empire. A long mountain range separates the principality from the empire. Although it is in the Era of Destruction, it is also a rare [Boundary City] to distinguish the national territory of the Era of Destruction.

[I'm going to the coffin! You better come early. ]

The lamb climbed onto Chang Yufeng's head, put his hands on his hips, and proudly faced the gradually revealing city wall and the countless arrows.

[Don’t make me wait too long…]

You know, waiting is such a painful thing...

"Um……"

I don’t know whether Chang Yufeng has become taciturn, or he can only respond with a crisp “hmm” at this moment, accompanied by a tremor in his Adam’s apple that hasn’t been there for a long time, and this “hmm” suddenly fills him with emotion.

Artes drew his arrow from its sheath, and the arrow instantly arrived in front of Chang Yufeng following Noraf's command on the city wall.

The figure of the lamb suddenly disappeared, Chang Yufeng shouted and stepped forward.

"Artanis, protect her."

"I obey the king's orders!"

Chang Yufeng stepped out, the hilt of Artes' sword hummed and sang, and arrows fell like snow under the one-handed sword. Artanis snorted lightly, and quickly transformed from Chang Yufeng's heart into a huge fire shadow. He grabbed the frightened girl in his arms and rushed into the sky like a soaring eagle.

"This...this is..."

Norav saw a high wall of fire rising from the ground to the sky. Artanis was grinning like a nightmare, looking down from above. A flame shot out from his body and passed directly over Norav's eyebrows. Norav looked at the fire demon in horror. His hand holding the sword began to tremble and it fell to the ground with a clang.

"Yo - human - are you ready to be reduced to ashes~"

When he came to his senses, he stumbled away from the city wall towards the secret passage. In an instant he pulled the door of the secret passage tightly, fastened it with a stone bolt mechanism, and then quickly crawled into the secret passage.

"Hmph, coward."

Artanis was surprised at the escape route that Norav had prepared. His armor was unique, so Artanis naturally thought he was a leader, but he didn't expect him to be so vulnerable.

She flew from the ground to the sky, her cashmere skirt fluttering up and down. The white skirt underneath had long been stained by the withering mud on the ground, but it turned into a dazzling black star in the blazing flames of Artanis.

She looked at the archers fleeing in all directions and couldn't help but clench her fists tightly over her heart.

After cutting off the feather-like arrows, Chang Yufeng turned around and jumped, running on the city wall. He then flipped over and landed on the top of the city wall, slashing the two swords that were stabbing at him. All the soldiers immediately climbed down the ropes on the city wall and quickly fled.

From then on, Salahma welcomed a young man who was destined to be extraordinary.

Watching the soldiers flee, Chang Yufeng had no intention of chasing them, but he did not put down his sword either.

This premeditated "welcome ceremony" opened the heart of Salahma, now known as the Hall of the Immortal.

The tall tower in the distance, no matter how many glowing crystals it is engraved with, will always be as dark as ink.
