"Alright, you don't need to say anymore. This isn't a weakness, it's a strength!"
"?"
"I see you don't understand anything at all, you pathetic Dark Knight, hahaha... Oh, Snyder, let me see what you've drawn."
"Oh, sir! No, it's not drawn very well..."
"Isn't this great! Yes, yes, yes, my face is just that handsome, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, sharp features, and a piercing smile. Hahaha, I'm so pleased..."
"...Phew, thankfully the whole scene wasn't exposed. If the master had seen the drawing of the two of us embracing intimately, I'd be dead for sure..."
……
……
The commemorative ceremony ended amidst laughter and cheers. The shrimp and crabs, carrying lantern grass, slowly returned to their homes scattered throughout the spring forest, while Latis's party returned to the palace and gathered in the main hall.
"Gentlemen, it is time."
Latis placed his hand on the Dream Nail at his waist, closed his eyes, and sensed for a moment before saying:
"The power of the dream has weakened. It should end by the morning of the next day. Apart from the king's reproductive activities, there shouldn't be any other events during the night. We don't need to wait for the remaining power to dissipate. We can start the war directly."
"I am ready."
Jennifer patted her chest, drew her longsword, twirled it, looked at Latis, and suddenly smiled mischievously:
"However, the bed in the inner room is very large."
"..."
Latis was silent for a moment, glanced into the inner room, then coughed lightly and said with a hint of embarrassment:
"What are you saying! With a formidable enemy at hand, I can't afford to waste my testosterone... No, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know when to stop!"
Looking at Latis's righteous face, Jennifer couldn't help but laugh. She nudged Latis lightly and said:
"I wonder how far we are from finding the Radiance. I still remember you saying that once we got back, you'd fuck me hard..."
"Don't plant any flags randomly."
Latis, without batting an eye, interrupted Jennifer's lewd remarks, circled his teammates, pondered for a moment, and said:
"We don't know what attack methods the Sacred Tree will use yet. After the battle begins, we should remain adaptable and support each other. Once we are familiar with the Sacred Tree's moves, we can launch an attack like a tidal wave and crush it in one fell swoop."
As they were talking, a slight tremor suddenly came from outside. Everyone went outside to take a look and saw that the roots of the sacred tree were slowly sinking into the ground. Then its leaves began to turn green, and the vines gradually grew to hang down to the ground.
Amidst the faint glow of the bioluminescent plants, the flowing spring water ripples with light and shadow, transforming the entire mossy village into a tranquil and beautiful paradise.
"It seems to say that the king's expansionist endeavors had come to an end, and there was no longer any need to ask the sacred tree for its branches to extend and provide assistance; so the sacred tree took root anew..."
Latis stroked his chin, suddenly recalling something the king had once said in the real world, and exhaled as he said:
“I remember the king once said that the sacred tree would be weak for a period of time after it takes root. In that case, let’s seize this opportunity.”
He composed himself, walked to the trunk of the sacred tree, looked up at the trunk so wide that it would take several people to encircle it, and suddenly felt a little melancholy.
This peaceful dream, which should not have been disturbed by the battle, was about to be shattered by them. It felt like their team was some kind of fierce villain who was wreaking havoc everywhere, ruthlessly puncturing those seemingly peaceful scenes.
But these scenes are ultimately just dreams woven by the Radiant Kingdom...
Even if we cannot be certain that the future will be better after the battle, humanity will never stop drawing its sword.
With that thought in mind, Latis didn't hesitate any longer. He pulled out the Dream Nail and instantly sliced open the trunk of the sacred tree.
hum!
The whole world suddenly shook violently, and everyone's vision blurred as the surroundings instantly turned into a white expanse. In this illusory dream space, the sacred tree finally returned to its real appearance.
Amidst the tumor-like swellings that constantly emerged and burst on the tree trunk and the lava that pumped ceaselessly from the roots like blood vessels, the vines of the sacred tree that drooped to the ground instantly transformed into terrifying serpents that threatened to strangle people. At the same time, a sorrowful and heavy voice resounded in everyone's hearts.
Please forget me, Moss Tribe!
take a day off
It's my birthday today, so I'm going out for the day with my family.
Chapter 432 Come and chop me down if you are a brother
The woven straight sword struck the fiery red pincers with a muffled thud. Zha Zha's eyes sharpened, and he whirled around to dodge the prince's side kick. He then delivered another powerful slash, which struck the pincers again, leaving only a faint scratch.
“wee!”
The Void Ray's cry rang out, and Zha Zha's body suddenly felt lighter. He was instantly pulled back several meters by the ray's suction, dodging the prince's two merciless swinging hammer blows.
Zha Zha took a deep breath, slowly moved his legs for a moment, and looked at the prince in the distance, his expression gradually becoming serious.
The king judged the prince's strength based on his own abilities, so when the scoundrel struck the king in the chest, the king concluded that the scoundrel had the ability to defeat the prince.
However, the king overlooked one problem: he was old and his body was not as strong as before, while the prince, under the parasitic influence of the light, still retained his powerful skills from his previous life, and might even be stronger.
Zha Zha gripped its straight sword tightly, switching between offense and defense several times in that short period of time. Although it narrowly defended against all the attacks, its own attacks were ineffective. The prince's reaction speed and physique were far superior to its own, leaving it feeling powerless and helpless for a moment.
Looking at the prince's eyes, which seemed to be filled with molten lava, it subconsciously rubbed its own dry eyes, and suddenly a few images of memories flashed through its mind.
When the prince challenged the ancient tree monster, it was still very small. Before that, the prince would often tell the scumbag the story of when it met the moth warrior.
The Moth Warrior came in search of the Land of Light. It can fly, and thus it once led the prince to many inaccessible places in the Mossy Land. It is the most powerful member of the Moth Tribe, and its martial prowess is also remarkable. In the eyes of the Mossy Tribe, such an outsider may be the highest level in the underground world.
The prince thought so too, so he went to great lengths to persuade the moth warrior to teach him fighting skills. Although the moth warrior only stayed for a few days, the prince still benefited immensely.
However, before the moth warrior left, he stood not far from the ancient tree monster and said something that shocked the prince.
It said that the ancient tree monster had become so powerful by merely absorbing a portion of the Supreme Radiance's will that it was afraid to fight it and did not know just how strong the Supreme Radiance was.
The prince was shocked. The Moth Warrior was the strongest monster he had ever seen. Even such a powerful being dared not attack the Ancient Tree Monster. And above the Ancient Tree Monster, there was an even stronger Supreme Radiance.
The Moth Warrior pondered for a long time, but in the end, he did not try to fight the Ancient Tree Monster. Instead, he told the prince that in the future, a powerful person carrying the Dream Nail would surely defeat the monster. Then, he once again embarked on the road to find the Land of Light.
Although the prince was somewhat disappointed, he knew that the Moth Warriors also needed to continue to grow stronger through their travels, and that the ancient tree monster that the tribe was facing, which was slowly expanding its territory, would probably only be resolved by the powerful figure who carried the Dream Nail.
It told the king about this and learned that the king had been taught by the Supreme Radiance, which was why the king could not make up his mind to attack the ancient tree monster.
So they began to wait, and many years passed. The king's second son was born, but the person with the Dream Nail still did not appear.
The prince was not going to wait any longer. Its will was much stronger than the king's. Although it was born in a peaceful era, it was fearless of battle and bloodshed. It was not afraid of the ancient tree monster, which even its teacher, the moth warrior, dared not touch.
Thus, it forcefully halted the ancient tree monster's advance, and even though it left itself deep within the spring forest, no one dared to deny its achievement.
Zha Zha watched as the prince slowly arched his body, preparing to take the initiative. On the prince's body, the silver scale breastplate reflecting the red light spoke of its hardness.
However, Zha Zha suddenly paused for a moment.
The prince and the king were far more powerful than it, their fighting skills derived from the Moth Warriors and the Radiance. But the scumbag wasn't so lucky; it couldn't find a teacher of its own. It had only heard these legends with great envy and had idly searched for the places where the legends had passed.
It always thought it was no match for princes and kings, so it eventually gave itself the nickname "Zha Zha" to mock its own weakness.
However, it recognized the silver-scaled breastplate.
Once, the prince could only tell it that the silver-scaled breastplate was a treasure that had been lost in the underground world. It was collected by the moth warrior on his journey to find the light and was given to it because of the master-disciple bond they had formed over those few days. However, it did not know the origin of the silver-scaled breastplate, and even the moth warrior was not very clear about it.
However, Zha Zha knew about it. Not only did it know about it, it had also personally visited the legendary holy city where the Silver Scale Breastplate had been lost, heard about the Silver Scale Breastplate's manufacturing process, and even knew that it could resist and absorb magical and divine attacks.
Just as the king said, it had traveled to more places than the prince and the king had traveled together, and it had seen far more things than anyone could imagine.
This world is not just the Mossy Land; there are also the desolate Mountain Territory and the lush Forest Territory. The human world has all sorts of tools, buildings, and even the humans themselves are different, some clumsy, some clever, some calm, some passionate. These things are unknown to the people of the Mossy Land. Even though there is only a ceiling a dozen meters thick separating them, it is like an insurmountable chasm, blocking these precious treasures.
It ultimately failed to find the land of light its elder brother had spoken of, but it knew that such light might be far more meaningful than the legend.
Zha Zha's toes slowly sank into the ground, its gaze fixed on the prince's body, its mind already prepared for a head-on confrontation.
hum!
Just then, a strong tremor suddenly came from the depths of the spring forest, almost knocking Prince and Zha Zha to the ground at the same time. It quickly got up and resumed its fighting stance. However, something shocking happened: the ball monsters around it and the tree roots flowing with lava suddenly seemed to lose control and instantly stopped moving.
"This is... could it be that captain? They've already begun their battle!"
Zha Zha's eyes lit up. Latis's power far exceeded its expectations. It had managed to make the ancient tree monsters lose control so quickly. Even without its help to restrain these ball monsters, they could probably have easily resolved the situation.
"Damn it... I can't let the Moss Tribe down..."
It muttered something under its breath, then suddenly noticed that the prince in front of it had straightened up at some point, raised his pincers, and shouted.
Before Zha Zha could react to what was happening, the Void Ray anxiously circled around it, calling out:
“wee! wee—”
"What..." Zha Zha looked in the direction the Void Ray was pointing, and his pupils were immediately shocked. He saw a large amount of light power surging out from the out-of-control ball monsters and tree roots, rushing madly towards the prince.
"Oh no, if this happens, Big Brother will gain power beyond its limits..." Zha Zha's heart tightened, but it quickly calmed down. It glanced at the surging light power in the sky and made a decision immediately.
The prince continued to roar, drawing upon the uncontrollable power of light. The light within his body gradually boiled, radiating a flame-like halo.
However, at that moment, a figure suddenly leaped up and pounced on the impending power of light. To the prince's astonishment, the young lobster, only half the size of him, roared madly. The moss covering its body, under its unwavering will, rapidly absorbed all the power of light. Then, in a surge of light, real flames ignited!
"These forces... are not as invincible as they seem."
Zha Zha fell to the ground, gripped the straight sword tightly amidst the raging flames, hung it back on his back, and when he drew it again, the woven rattan straight sword was already bursting into flames.
Seeing that the prince had no idea how to deal with the fiery onslaught, it suddenly charged forward and shouted in a dry voice:
"I will show you! Just as you resolutely went to the meeting alone against the invincible ancient tree monster, I will also defeat you here!"
The flaming straight sword shot up from below like a fighter jet taking off in an instant, thrusting forward! The prince instinctively followed his old technique, trying to use his hard pincers to grab the sword and then follow up with a spinning kick, but the pincers snapped open in pain amidst the scorching flames.
Keng!
The countless sparks that flew out when the straight sword struck the silver-scaled breastplate were reflected in Zha Zha's eyes. Amid the smell of burning charcoal and the flames that were brighter than the prince's, it swung the straight sword and slashed at the scorched, red-hot silver-scaled breastplate once again.
"I never thought I could do something like this... After all these years, have I become a bit like you back then?"
The bluish-black pincers began to turn red under the heat of the flames, and ashes from the burned moss drifted in the wind. Zha Zha's eyes stung, and as it watched the prince being hacked back, a smile of joy mixed with sorrow suddenly appeared on its lips. It hoarsely called out to the prince:
"I'm Zha Zha Hui, if you're a brother, come and chop me up!"
……
……
The Holy Tree was not strong in combat; on the contrary, Latis even felt it was a bit too weak.
Although the sudden tree roots piercing from underfoot, the whirlwind of flying leaves like razor blades, the hard vines like a net covering the sky, and the branches that were constantly being flung at them were enough to make the squad members take a long time to adapt to the rhythm of the attacks, Latis still felt that the sacred tree was a bit too weak.
and……
