Chapter 1577 Return and Reminder
As the "Old Fishman King" suddenly fell to the ground, the sea surface, which was originally full of surging waves, quickly receded like a deflated ball. In the blink of an eye, the endless white space appeared in front of everyone again.
At this moment, the entire space was shaking slightly, and it was obviously on the verge of collapse.
This is not surprising. After all, the "Old Fishman King", as the creator of space, has obviously suffered a severe blow, so it is not surprising that such an unsustainable situation has occurred.
"So there are other strong men under His Majesty the Human Race who can use that special magical power? It was because the strong men from the outside world were continuing to attack the strange human-shaped statue that the other party was suddenly hit hard!"
At this point, Lena and Xiaofan finally reacted. Their eyes sparkled and they looked at Lei Xiao with excitement.
As expected of His Majesty the Human race who has gained fame recently, there are so many powerful and capable people under his command!
No wonder His Majesty the Human Race was so at ease just now, it turns out that he had already grasped the balance of victory in his heart!
While Lena and Xiaofan were in high spirits, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and walked straight towards the "Old Fishman King" who was kneeling on the ground not far away.
Although this guy has obviously forgotten a lot of things, perhaps he is still hiding some unknown information. Let's listen to what he has to say.
"I just want to know the truth about forgetting everything. Why do you have to go against me?"
The expression on the face of the "Old Fishman King" became more and more ferocious. Although he could no longer stand up, he still roared at Lei Xiao with hatred on his face: "Why are you trying to stop me?"
"This is a long, difficult and dark journey. We should have walked side by side to have a chance to see a glimmer of light, but you are standing arrogantly on others' heads and trampling on their hopes."
Lei Xiao answered lightly as he looked down at the other person's twisted old face.
"Your Majesty is right! You are a wretch who claims to be a god!"
Lena stepped forward and echoed, "Give our father back!"
“Pretending to be a god? Hahahahaha…”
The "Old Fishman King" laughed hysterically again, his face becoming more distorted as he said, "It's a pity that this is just a fragment of my leg bone. If I can find other bones, you will know what a true god is!"
Accompanied by the other party's sharp and piercing crazy laughter, the entire space shook more violently, and looked like it was about to collapse.
Lei Xiao looked at the other party's crazy appearance, which was at the end of his strength, and frowned slightly.
Through communication with the old man in sand robe and this series of things he saw and heard, he could almost confirm that the other party was indeed a god, or a being with strength comparable to that of a god, such as a divine beast from the divine realm, a creation of the evil god, or something similar, or even the evil god himself.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to possess a power that is invincible to ordinary strong people, not to mention the Devouring Guard and the spiritual space.
Furthermore, according to the old man in the sand robe, the vast desert where the Desert Alliance is located was actually formed by the influence of a small piece of his bones, which is simply unbelievable.
As for this guy, he is obviously of water attribute. I even suspect that the original coastline might not be here. It is because of the influence of this guy that this place has become the edge of the sea.
"Wait, come to think of it this way, the frozen land in the north that straddles the Cold Flame Kingdom and the Pars Empire in the human territory is also extremely abrupt. Judging from the climate and geographical location, it shouldn't exist there. Could it be that there is a being similar to this guy and the old man in the sand robe there?"
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Although the old man in the sand robe poses no threat, we cannot rule out the possibility that this guy is vicious and cruel. We must send people to investigate the northern border thoroughly. That is the heartland of the human race and we must not allow any mistakes to occur.
"By the way, from the information Lena provided, we can know that this guy has a considerable ability to perceive the surroundings, and can even sense the "Gate of Truth."
"But this guy just said that he couldn't find any other skeletons and couldn't recover more strength. This means that there are no skeletons around."
"Then the question is, considering this guy's incredibly huge body, where did the other bones go? Even if it was shattered into pieces when it died, it's impossible that only such a small piece is left, right?"
"It's not just this guy. The same is true for the old man in the sand robe and the northern border. Although this guy is close to the sea, it is difficult to find the scene of environmental changes, but the desert of the old man in the sand robe and the frozen soil in the northern border are obvious. If there are more bones scattered in the latter two, this land should be covered with wasteland and frozen soil."
"It's not hard to see from this that no matter this guy or the old man in the sand robe, only a small piece of bones is left. Is this a coincidence or is there another mystery?"
"Furthermore, this guy and the old man in sand robe have both lost a lot of memories, which is exactly the same as the survivors who have experienced the blank era. In addition, the old man in sand robe's self-narration is enough to prove that he has experienced the blank era."
"But according to the unsolved mystery of the Lost Relics Effect, no corpses of any race left over from the blank era can be found. Why does this guy's corpse exist until now? Is it because this guy is beyond the realm of mortals?"
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, the other party's hysterical laughter stopped abruptly, and the old body of the old fishman king collapsed to the ground, breathing weakly.
"It's the breath of my father!"
Lena's eyes lit up, and she hurried forward to help the old fish king up, saying with great joy, "Father is back!"
Xiaofan also looked excited and helped Lena support the unconscious old fishman king.
Then, the three of them saw a flash of white light before their eyes, and in a flash, they reappeared in the dark and damp underground temple, or it would be more appropriate to call it the inside of a giant skeleton.
"His Majesty!"
Seeing Lei Xiao and the other two reappear, Fei'er, Jasmine, Bing Lao and others, as well as Kayla, Hollis and others, all surrounded them excitedly.
After confirming that Lei Xiao was not injured, everyone was delighted and quickly described what had just happened.
Just as Lei Xiao had expected, after the three of them disappeared inexplicably, the powerful men were stunned, but soon they gritted their teeth and started attacking again.
Because Fei'er and Bing Lao reacted extremely quickly, the rich power of God's favor once again covered everyone.
What happened next was obvious. With everyone's concerted efforts, the strange statue was quickly smashed to pieces, and then the three of them reappeared in front of everyone.
"According to everyone's description, all this happened in just a few breaths, but the time in the spiritual space was obviously much longer. This is somewhat similar to when the contract was signed with the stone spirit."
"So, when I signed the contract, did I also enter a temporary spiritual space? After all, from the outside, there was only a ball of dazzling golden light."
Lei Xiao looked at the base of the statue that was still emitting black smoke and nodded thoughtfully.
Looking around, the deadly giant circle and the Devouring Guard had disappeared, leaving only a messy empty space.
It is worth mentioning that the strange white light that was originally emanating from the space also dissipated completely, which undoubtedly showed that the opponent had indeed been defeated.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for rescuing my father!"
Lena was seen kneeling on the ground with a look of gratitude on her face, while the old fishman king slowly opened his eyes with the help of Xiaofan. Although he looked weak, his cloudy old eyes were obviously much clearer.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite. It is just a small favor."
Lei Xiao bent down and helped the other person up, and nodded to the old fish king who had just awakened: "Let's leave here first."
Afterwards, everyone turned back and soon returned to the ancient fishman castle.
Seeing that the old king was successfully rescued and those terrible Devouring Guards had disappeared, the anxiously waiting fishman ministers and generals were all overjoyed and cast looks of gratitude and admiration towards Lei Xiao.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me and the entire Murloc Kingdom!"
In the king's room, the old merman king, who had just recovered a little, sat up from the bed. He wanted to get off the bed and salute Lei Xiao, but was stopped by the latter.
"Your Majesty the Fishman is too kind. This is not a big deal."
Lei Xiao helped the man back onto the bed and said with a smile, "We just did our part, but the ones who really deserve credit are Princess Lena and every murloc who never gave up."
After rescuing the old king, Lei Xiao originally wanted to let the weak king have a good rest, but the former insisted on thanking him in person, which led to the current scene.
"Your Majesty is truly extraordinary. No wonder he has become so famous in the foreign lands. I am ashamed of myself."
In addition to his gratitude, the old fish king's wrinkled face was filled with regret, and he said sadly: "It was all because of that thing that I was bewitched and almost made a big mistake."
"Father, what are you talking about? If you hadn't been entangled with that guy, the fishmen in the wasteland would have starved to death long ago!"
Lena looked at the regretful face of the old fishman king and couldn't help but blurt out.
"Lena, my daughter, if your father could really see through everything, the Wasteland Murlocs wouldn't be as notorious as they are today."
The old fishman king smiled bitterly and shook his head, then turned to Lei Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, although I almost became a toy for the other party to manipulate at will, I still saw everything that happened with the last bit of consciousness I had. It was because of your help that the fishman kingdom and I were able to survive this disaster."
"Mercemen will always repay a favor and will never neglect their friends, so please rest assured, Your Majesty. From this moment on, the Wasteland Murlocs will become Your Majesty's most loyal comrades!"
As soon as the old fishman king said this, all the strong men were excited. Although it took some twists and turns, we have gained a new ally!
"Your Majesty, I already know your intention. You are trying to gather strength to deal with the Broken Wing King in the Throne Corridor. That abominable guy is indeed overbearing and tyrannical. He doesn't care about the lives of other second-rate forces at all. He just blindly grabs and suppresses them. But I'm afraid things are not that simple."
A look of solemnity emerged on the old fishman king's face, and he spoke to Lei Xiao again.
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Lei Xiao frowned slightly and asked.
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I received a piece of news not long ago, that is, the Broken Wing King seems to have some connection with the strong men of the Winged Human Clan."
The old fish king's expression became more solemn, and he nodded heavily, saying, "Although this is just the information my old spy got from the Broken Wing Clan and has not been fully confirmed, we must be on guard against this."
"Your Majesty the Fishman, are you saying that the Broken Wing Clan might have winged people backing them?"
Lei Xiao's brows furrowed even more, and he nodded thoughtfully.
Hearing this, everyone including Jasmine, Fei'er, Kayla and Hollis frowned.
You must know that the Winged People are a first-rate force standing at the top of all races, with unfathomable background. They are definitely not opponents that we can contend with now.
In addition, the Winged People are known for being aloof. Most of them live on secluded sky islands and seldom communicate directly with other races. It is no exaggeration to say that even other first-class forces such as the elves and dwarves cannot fully understand the background of the Winged People.
"But those chicken wings have always been known for being aloof. They rarely take the initiative to participate in fights between first-rate forces. How could they get involved in the affairs of second-rate forces?"
Jasmine frowned and said with a pout.
You know, although the forest elves are not hostile to each other like the light elves and dark elves, and they do not have mortal enemies in the real sense, but because they are also extremely arrogant, they generally do not get along with other first-class forces, such as the dwarves and the winged people.
The Winged People, in particular, were able to rival the self-righteous Forest Elves in terms of artistic and magical attainments. This made the Forest Elves dislike them even more, believing that the Winged People were deliberately competing with them everywhere and regarded them as rivals. Therefore, it was not surprising that Jasmine called them Chicken Wings.
"Your Excellency is right. So I judge that even if the Broken Wings have had contact with the Winged People, it is impossible that they have contacted the core level of the other party. It should be a group of powerful Winged People who acted on their own."
The old fish king nodded to Jasmine, and then said seriously: "But even so, the Winged People are a genuine first-class force after all, and even one of the more mysterious ones. The most important thing is that the origin of that group of Winged People is unknown, and it cannot be ruled out that they are related to the core level of the Winged People. That's why I remind His Majesty the Human Race to be careful."
"Thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty the Fishman. This is indeed something worth noting."
Lei Xiao nodded after pondering for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "But the arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot. Let me see how capable the opponent is." (End of this chapter)
