Inside the Ash Forest, the furious Sui Xiong and the Shadow Demon King fought fiercely, and the icy divine power and negative energy impacted wildly, causing the sky to change color, black air to fill the sky, and ice and snow to cover the ground. The aftermath of the power of both sides alone turned the surrounding dozens of miles into a cold and gloomy ghostland. Mortals would feel cold in their hearts just by looking at it, let alone setting foot in it, as if they were frozen into ice from the inside out.

Rhodes panted violently, and he felt that his heart and lungs seemed to have frozen, and his breath was filled with ice chips.

This was of course an illusion. It was not him who could do this, but Snowflake.

Snowflake was in a very bad situation. She had just been defeated by the Shadow Demon King's full-strength ice flames, and had already suffered internal injuries. She barely used magic to protect the surviving pioneers to escape together, which made her injured even more. At this moment, she didn't even have the strength to stand up, so she could only lie on Gerard's back and let him carry her to escape.

Gerard was hit hard just now, but he had thick skin and strong recovery ability. He was really one of those freaks who said, "Wounded? Just apply some saliva and it's fine." At this moment, he was holding a battle axe with a broken handle in one hand, and holding Palin, whose leg was cut in the battle with the shadow soldiers just now, with the other hand. On his back was Xuehua, whose face was paler than Rhode's, and whose mouth was full of ice chips and blood foam. He ran away with a large number of people who were full of fear and embarrassment, and had to stop from time to time to fight with the shadow soldiers who were chasing them, to buy time for everyone to escape.

This kind of thing, really only he can do.

"Rod, you lead everyone to keep running!" He took the time to shout to Rhodes, "I'll cover you!"

Rhodes wanted to argue with him, such as "You are more important than us", but Gerard was obviously not the kind of person who could reason or weigh the pros and cons. From his honest face, he knew that this big guy was a stubborn person, so he had to grit his teeth and run with everyone.

"Don't stop!" He endured the pain in his chest that seemed to arise every time he said a word, and shouted loudly, "Follow me and run! We must stay away from the battlefield. The battle between the gods and the devil, even a little aftermath can be fatal!"

Under his leadership, the survivors ran all the way, running as far away from the battlefield as possible.

The temporary village that was once a place has now completely turned into ruins. Sui Xiong, who was furious, was too lazy to think about the question "Why did the Shadow Demon suddenly attack?" He used all his strength, waving his tentacles like the wind, and casting spells one after another, vowing to beat this damn bastard to death and smash it to pieces, and it must die miserably! Very miserable! Inhumane! Horrible!

Because he had concentrated almost all his energy on the battle here, he didn't even care about the situation on the other side of the clone. Anyway, the battle between Hemsala and Timsal was a pure war of attrition. It would not be surprising if it lasted for ten days or half a month. And his friend was much stronger than that guy who was already half dead, so he didn't have to worry at all.

But just as he was fighting fiercely with the Shadow Demon King, Timsal, who had been suppressed by Hemsala, suddenly had a strange black light under him. The black light spread in all directions and formed a huge magic circle in a moment, covering himself, Hemsala, and Sui Xiong's incarnation who was watching the battle next to him.

Sui Xiong immediately sensed something was wrong, but the magic circle had already been activated. He clearly felt that this magic circle was a large-scale teleportation array that would teleport the three of them to a distant place together - perhaps the kingdom of an evil god, or a trap prepared in advance, or something else... Anyway, it would not be a good place!

Because of his slow reaction, when he realized that the situation was not good, it was too late to stop the teleportation. But after all, the teleportation was not completed yet, and there was still room for rescue.

So he made a prompt decision and immediately communicated with Lei's mind. Using Lei as the coordinate, he used divine power to forcibly invade the teleportation spell and shifted the teleportation target as close to Lei as possible.

In fact, it might be more practical to shift towards the main body, but the distance was too far...

The distorted teleportation array made a harsh roar. A moment later, accompanied by the turbid current that rose up, the three giant creatures had been teleported to the bottom of a shallow sea. Sui Xiong immediately used the positioning spell and found that the current location was not far from Gars City, about thirty or fifty miles.

"Fortunately, I didn't fall into the trap!" He breathed a sigh of relief, split a little energy, and let the clone also go all out, urging the divine power to turn into a stream of icy torrents and attack Timsal.

The current situation is very wrong. He can only feel relieved if he ends the battle here as soon as possible!

Just as Sui Xiong's original body and clone were both caught in the battle, another amazing drama slowly began in the central square of Gars City.

The mining ceremony is divided into three parts. First, each church and organization will lead the team to parade on the street, preaching doctrine, spreading divine grace, or performing talents... Of course, it is not impossible to simply and crudely spend money. As long as you are stupid and rich, you can play in any way. Anyway, the most important thing is to have fun.

When all the teams gather in the central square, the city lord will preside over the beginning of the celebration, and then the chief priest of the Harvest Goddess Church will read a prayer. At this time, the Harvest Goddess will descend divine grace to heal the pain of the audience.

After the prayer and blessing, ten girls selected in advance will pick the specially cultivated top-grade fragrant leaves and hand them over to the magicians to seal them with magic. Then a public auction will be held to sell these ten fragrant leaves called "Gars Flowers", and all the money obtained will be dedicated to the great goddess who gave people such treasures - the goddess of harvest.

As the only son of Joseph City Lord and the most likely to become the next generation of city lords, Sheen did not need to participate in the first stage of the parade and sat directly in a seat near the center of the square. Behind him was a group of well-equipped and impressive subordinates, including warriors, mages and priests.

Because of his strong strength, Lei was arranged behind Sheen, and he could strangle his neck with just one hand. Mrs. Teague was arranged in the back seat because she insisted on being with her daughters. Rank wanted to follow the teacher, but Lei also drove him to the back, and next to him was Steele, who was wearing armor and pretending to be a priest.

Steele originally wanted to dress up to match the joyous atmosphere of the celebration. But considering that there might be a big battle, it was better not to attract too much attention, so she could only reluctantly put on the armor - in such occasions, people wearing full sets of armor were everywhere, far less conspicuous than an overly beautiful woman.

"If a fight breaks out, please take care of them." Lei Zeng said so.

Steele smiled slightly and knocked twice on the solid breastplate with her right hand wearing a metal glove to show "I will do it, you can rest assured."

So Lei smiled and nodded and came to his seat.

Steele is indeed quite reliable now, or...even if she is not reliable enough, there is no other choice now.

Seeing the increasingly lively scene, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and couldn't help asking: "Master Xien, what on earth are you trying to do?"

"It's nothing special to mention." Xien still smiled gently and modestly, and whispered, "You will know soon."

"I think I should know in advance." Lei said, "So that when things happen, it's easier to react."

Xien shook his head: "You don't need to react in any special way, it's nothing more than fighting. Isn't that what you are best at?"

"I don't like fighting at all! Especially this kind of inexplicable fighting!" Lei said angrily.

"I don't like fighting either, fighting is too dangerous. But I have no choice." Xien said gently, "You don't either, we are two drowning people tied to the same rope by fate, if you want to avoid drowning, then you have to try to pull me up."

"You guy!" Lei roared angrily, wishing he could draw his sword right now and give this bastard a white knife in and a red knife out!

Time passed quickly, and the parade teams of various organizations gathered in the central square. With them came a crowd of people like a tide, and soon the entire square was packed.

Looking at the huge mass of heads, Lei couldn't help but shudder - if a fight breaks out, there will be blood and corpses everywhere!

"Can't we just not fight?" He sighed and advised, "Look at all the people here, it will be terrible if we really fight!"

"What's the point of you telling me this? It's not up to me to decide whether to fight or not." Sheen replied with a smile, "Maybe you think you are very strong, but to me, you are just a chess piece that can be used at will; and for the great existence of a higher level, I am nothing more than a chess piece that can be used at will. As chess pieces, you and I just have to follow orders well. Thinking too much will not only not help us, but will only increase our pain."

"Are you willing to be a chess piece and be used by others? And you have to risk your life!"

"... I won't be a chess piece forever." The smile on Sheen's face The smile disappeared, and the tone became very firm, "Sooner or later, I will become a chess player!"

"You have to survive today first!" Lei said unhappily, "Generally speaking, people as ambitious as you will die halfway."

"How many knights who fight to help their friends can live long?" Sheen laughed again, "Same here, so let's work hard to survive together. You for your lofty goals, I for my selfish goals, but no matter what, there is hope only by living."

"...It's a pity that you don't become a charlatan!"

Sheen smiled slightly and didn't speak, but a very subtle, almost inaudible voice sounded in Lei's ears.

"Who told you that I'm not a charlatan?"

Lei was stunned. This was clearly a spell of a high level! And there was no magic fluctuation during the casting process, which was obviously matched with extremely advanced super magic skills!

This guy Sheen is not a swordsman at all, he is simply an incredibly powerful spellcaster!
