"Um, it's nothing..." Chen Rui returned to normal after a long time, "Tuo Lei, what's the matter?"
Torre replied: "The earth elemental who left brought their leader. Leader Delong invites you to go over."
Chen Rui asked, "How many earth elementals are here?"
"Only these two."
Chen Rui nodded. It seemed that things were going well, otherwise the leader of the rebel army of the Earth Elementalists would not have come to the "enemy's" lair alone.
Seeing that he seemed to be leaving, Athena asked, "What happened?"
When Chen Rui talked about the earth elemental man, Athena said: "Let's go together, take a nap, my strength has almost recovered."
Chen Rui thought that there should be no danger this time, so he agreed, and the three of them walked out of the cave together.
What Doug brought was a light blue earth elemental, similar in appearance to those two earth elementals who fought against Queen Medusa and the tauren leader. They should be the leader Doug said, the three major subordinates of the earth elemental king. Targ, the head of the elite elementals.
Chen Rui approached, and the comprehensive strength displayed by the Analytical Eye was indeed impossible to judge.
Tag's stature is smaller than Doug's, slightly shorter than the tauren, and his facial features and body are closer to human form. His eyes are flashing with the same white light as Doug's, not the "mutated" pale yellow light.
Since the tauren could not communicate with the earth elementals, even though only two earth elementals came, Delong and the others showed considerable vigilance. Strong enough to rival the tauren leader.
Seeing Chen Rui, the light blue earth elemental man took the initiative to say hello, "Hello, I'm Tag, thank you for letting Doug go."
The consciousness communication of the Analytical Eye can be divided into scope and individual. Chen Rui didn't want to cause the tauren to misunderstand, so he expanded the scope of the Analytical Eye's consciousness so that the surrounding tauren could understand him.
"Hello, I'm Chen Rui, the tauren's best friend. Today, the leader of Tage came here, did he come with sincerity? Or did he come with a fighting spirit?"
"You really have the magical power to communicate with elemental people," Tag nodded solemnly to Chen Rui, and did not despise him because of his weak power, "I only brought Doug here, which is enough to prove my sincerity, but At the same time, I have a doubt."
Others could not understand Tag's language, and Chen Rui translated it to the tauren and Athena while listening.
"The earth elemental king in the land of the earth is always the supreme ruler of our earth elemental people. Although I led some earth elemental people who were unwilling to accept the mutation to escape, none of us are willing to be hostile to the great king, let alone Massacre your own race with your own hands. In this case, I don’t think the tauren or Medusa will be willing to accept us defected earth elementals, but in order to show the friendliness of the earth elementals, I still come here with sincerity, I I don't want to be your enemy."
After listening to Chen Rui's translation, the leader of the Tauren fell into deep thought, and just waved his hand, causing the guarded Tauren to retreat. Regardless of whether he accepted it or not, Tag's sincerity was worthy of affirmation. There was no need to make such a tense posture, which made the Tauren appear cowardly.
Chen Rui could see that Tag was not the kind of arrogant and unreasonable guy, and said: "Tag, first of all, thank you for your frankness. I want to ask you a question, before you and your companions are forced to leave the realm of the earth , Do the earth elementals often kill other creatures wantonly?"
Tag shook his head: "We elementals have our own rules. Unless the territory is violated, we will never attack and interfere with the survival of other creatures."
"So what now?" Chen Rui said a word, and Tage lowered his head. Chen Rui didn't give him a chance to explain, and then said: "Except for the tauren and Medusa who are struggling to resist, all the creatures in the ground are being killed by those creatures." The mutated earth elementals are extinct. Not only that, even you who are also elementals are not spared. I heard from Doug that many earth elementals were brutally destroyed because they were unwilling to accept the mutation. This At that time, where are the so-called norms of the elemental people?"
Tag's head lowered, and Chen Rui continued: "The alliance between you and the tauren and Medusa is not for killing the earth elementals, but for your own survival! Even if you two don't help each other, once the tauren and Medusa were destroyed, so only you defected earth elementals are left. Do you think you can escape the massacre of your own race?"
The truth is obvious.
Tag thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head, and said firmly: "The great king just fell into doubts due to some special reasons. I believe that with his powerful power, he will definitely be able to clear up the doubts in his heart and return to his original normal state." state."
Chen Rui's heart moved, and he asked: "I've always wondered about this matter. Why did the earth elemental king undergo such a huge change? What do you mean by 'doubt'? Please tell me what you know, not only For the survival of all of us, and also for the great king of you earth elementals. Perhaps, we can find a way to help him return to normal as soon as possible, and you don’t want to end up dying at the hands of your companions for no apparent reason?”
Hearing the last sentence, the white light in Tag's eyes lit up, he pondered for a while, and finally said: "This matter started a long time ago, probably...about four hundred years ago."
For a long time, the underground world has always maintained a usual balance. Although the upper part was dug through thousands of years ago, due to various reasons, most of the creatures are unwilling to leave the ground, especially the few that rely on the fountain of life to reproduce and survive. The large ethnic group, and later the passage was sealed again. This is just a calm episode. For the most powerful earth elementals, although the newly born great king has the power to easily break the seal, elementals have their own survival principles and will not easily Interfering with the rest of the civilization, so the seal was not released, but continued to live a peaceful and leisurely life in the realm of the earth.
However, one day, a sudden change occurred. A strange outsider broke through the powerful seal, came to the ground, and killed many creatures along the way. While killing the underground creatures, they also killed several earth elementals. The principle of the earth elemental is that no one offends me, and I will not offend others. Now the earth elemental king can no longer sit idly by and personally go to kill this enemy who dared to kill the earth elemental.
The strength of this enemy is far beyond imagination. With the power of the earth elemental king, he couldn't take it for a while. The amazing battle continued to the earth's domain where the earth elemental people gathered. It lasted for a day and a night. The earth elemental king relied on the earth's domain The "home field advantage" finally won and wiped out this enemy.
Afterwards, according to the earth elemental king, the strength of this enemy is quite terrifying, and he was seriously injured before the battle. Otherwise, even in the realm of the earth, he may not be the opponent of this person.
Chen Rui was shocked: the earth elemental person has the strongest fighting power in the earth, and the earth elemental king is also the same. This person is able to fight the earth elemental king to such a degree when he is seriously injured. He is absolutely powerful Devil Emperor. How could this kind of strong man come to the ground for no reason, slaughter the underground creatures, and even conflict with the earth elementals
Tag continued. Although the enemy was eliminated, the matter was not over. That person was crushed to pieces by the king, and only one thing was left behind. It emitted a strange power, which caused a strong impact on the power of the earth element in the entire land domain. The earth elemental king had no choice but to personally suppress this thing in the palace with the strongest earth elemental power in the land of the earth - the earth king's court.
This thing is probably the key! Chen Rui's thoughts turned quickly, he stopped translating, and asked, "What kind of thing?"
"This is a mask! It's very scary! The mask looks a bit incomplete, it seems incomplete, but it has a very strange power, people who get close to it feel as if their souls are attracted to it!"
When Chen Rui translated the matter about the mask to the Tauren and Athena, the Tauren looked puzzled, but Athena looked thoughtful.
"At the beginning, the king just held the mask in his hand and suppressed it with strength." Tag's facial features could not express too much expression, but there was a bit of fear in his voice: "But one day, the mask unexpectedly wear it on the king's face!"
The earth elemental king wearing a mask gradually became weird. He sat motionless in the royal court all day long. He even exchanged a few words with the three elite earth elementalists under him, but later he kept silent and forbade anyone Approaching, the power of the earth element in the entire earth domain has also undergone some kind of mutation, which is felt by the earth elementalists.
In this way, more than a hundred years later, a strange flying creature began to appear in the realm of the earth, like a fly. This kind of creature had never appeared in the underground world. At first, the earth elementalists did not care about it. The number of "flies" gradually increased, and the earth elemental king who had been silent all this time suddenly issued an order: no earth elemental person is allowed to harm these magic flies.
The appearance of the magic fly made more and more strange things happen. The most obvious thing is that the everlasting spring of life gradually dried up. After many years, the silent earth elemental king issued another order: attack the land of the earth. Subterranean creatures near the domain! Those creatures obviously did not invade the territory of the earth. The elementals were very puzzled by this order that violated the norms, but they still faithfully carried out the king's will.
Strangely, after eliminating those creatures, the number of magicflies increased significantly.
Since then, the earth elemental king has become even more eccentric. For a year, he seldom spoke, and whenever he opened his mouth, he ordered to kill, and the number of magic flies also increased greatly. Many earth elementalists began to have doubts. The three elites Tag, Taoge, and Sog jointly went to the royal court of the earth several times to remonstrate with the king, but they either did not respond or were reprimanded.
After a while, the earth elemental king spoke again, claiming that he had obtained a powerful revelation before and had been participating in the study of this revelation. Now he has finally succeeded and mastered the mutation method to make the earth elemental people stronger. Earth elementals accept mutation without resistance. Tao Ge, the most loyal elite earth elemental man, took the initiative to accept the secret method, and his power has indeed increased, but the strange thing is that Tao Ge seems to have lost his past memory. All accepted the mutation.
The mutated earth elementals all lost their memories, and they executed the king's orders more quickly, and began to kill more underground creatures, and wiped out the cavemen with the largest population.
Tag and Sog became suspicious of the "mutation", and put the most important doubt on the mask. Sog secretly went to the royal court of the earth to find out the truth, but was accidentally noticed by the elemental king. After the court came out, it became the same as Tao Ge. The mutated earth elementals didn't even spare their own companions, and many resisting earth elementals were destroyed. In this case, Tag judged that the earth elemental king was affected by the mask, so he had to take some earth elemental people who were unwilling to accept the mutation and fled the royal court, hoping that one day the earth elemental king would wake up and recover himself.
After listening to Tag's words, Chen Rui only felt that many mysteries in his heart had been solved one by one. Some key points that had been obscured in the past could be faintly linked together, and the whole truth tended to be revealed soon.
The abnormal change of the earth elemental king must be related to that mask. The same is true for the appearance of the magic fly. The magic fly was only a small number at first, and the number increased as the enemy was eliminated. It seems that it can rely on life and flesh to grow itself, which can also be explained as attacking the rest biological reasons.
The "mutation" of the earth elemental people is definitely not simple, it should be a special means for the earth elemental king to manipulate these suspicious subjects. According to common sense, with the strength of an earth elemental king and demon emperor, it shouldn't be difficult to destroy underground creatures or suppress doubters. This only illustrates an important problem: for some reason, the earth elemental king cannot exert his power! It is even impossible to leave the royal court!
The number of magic flies is already quite large, so what is the purpose of the earth elemental king continuing to control the earth elementals and the magic flies to attack the underground creatures? Unify the underground world
Chen Rui was full of assumptions and doubts, and after translating what Tag said, Athena said cautiously: "Chen Rui, are you sure that the names of those magic flies are bloodthirsty magic flies, poisonous demons flies and mind eater flies?"
Athena has been fighting ever since she came to the bottom of the main mine, and has hardly stopped. After being teleported from Medusa's lair to the stone beam, the two were immersed in tenderness and intimacy, and did not mention this aspect. .
When Chen Rui was translating just now, Athena began to pay attention to these details, and her eyes kept changing, as if thinking of something.
"I'm sure." Chen Rui nodded, the data displayed by the Analytical Eye should be correct.
After getting an affirmative answer, Athena blurted out: "I know what that mask is! There's that person from four hundred years ago!"
"who?"
"That mask is one of the seven artifacts of the demon world, the God-eating mask! That person is Grofin four hundred years ago. Beelzebub!"
