Soul echo

Chapter 477 Rescue the Dragon

After borrowing the church's communication network, Zhong Ye and the others started to rush back.

Almost at dusk, Zhong Ye and the others returned to the place where they met the dragon.

But it was still the same as before, Zhong Ye didn't park the carriage within the range of Longwei's influence, and didn't even stop close to it.

With his powerful perception ability, Zhong Ye could clearly feel that the powerful will in the distance seemed to be gradually becoming more painful.

And with his pain, the surrounding environment is also changing.

Every true dragon is a demigod, and they have the ability to change nature, but they don't like their own ability.

Nature is beautiful because it is colorful, if everything is the same, where is the charm?

Even though it may feel stunning at first, over time, that beauty will fade in people's eyes and eventually become numb.

The same is true of all things in nature, which are beautiful because of uncertain changes.

However, once the gods release their 'divine power' to distort the shape of other things, then that thing will definitely change to the shape of the god itself, and the gods are the end of that thing.

Therefore, neither gods nor giant dragons are willing to let their power infect this beautiful world.

However, the forest in front of Zhong Ye and the others is slowly changing...

If nothing else happened, the microbes should have changed, but unfortunately, even if Zhong Ye's perception ability was so strong, he couldn't observe the microbes with the naked eye.

So he can only speculate that the microorganisms have mutated, but there is no way to observe them.

I don't know when the druids will arrive. Apart from the druids, there seems to be no other believers of the God of Nature in the Western Continent. Most of the believers of the God of Nature gather in the kingdom of elves and the east.

Therefore, Zhong Ye could only look at the forest that was gradually changing, and remained silent.

After a night passed, when Zhong Ye opened his eyes again, he found that there seemed to be some changes in the trees not far away.

When I took a closer look, I was surprised to find that the surface of the trunk was covered with rock and soil.

I stretched out my hand and buckled it, and after peeling off the rock and soil, I saw the xylem—it turns out that this layer of rock and soil is the bark of this tree!
Zhong Ye's heart sank, and he slowly exhaled a foul breath.

He walked over to the carriage and knocked on the window.

Lily opened her sleepy eyes and looked out the window, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to Long's side to take a look, the situation is getting worse and worse now."

After hearing this sentence, Lily rubbed her face and forced herself to become sober.

Taking a deep breath, Lily looked at Zhong Ye again, nodded and said, "Go, I'll watch here."

Zhong Ye also nodded, turned around and walked towards the petrified forest.

He moved very fast, and appeared beside the black dragon in a few minutes.

Along the way, he didn't see too many animals, and the only few became inexplicably manic and wanted to attack him.

Zhong Ye walked straight towards the black dragon. However, until he reached the black dragon, the black dragon didn't make any response.

The heat overflowing from the nose and mouth has already dried up the land in front of the black dragon's head, all the water has been evaporated, and the trees, flowers and even the land are all dry.

The petrification around the black dragon's body was not much worse than the outside, and this was the only thing that could comfort Zhong Ye.

Zhong Ye put his hand on the black dragon's face - his slap was not as big as a scale of the black dragon.

"Can you hear me?" Zhong Ye used his psychic energy, intending to transmit his voice to the nerves of the black dragon.

【……able……】

After waiting for a long time, he finally got a response, which made Zhong Ye slightly relieved.

"I have already informed the druids. Although I don't know when they will come, and when they come, I don't know whether they can resist your coercion, but they assured me that they will definitely come, and it is ASAP."

【...Is that so... then I'll... hang on for a while...】

The black dragon never opened his eyes, and Zhong Ye could feel that he was getting more and more tired and painful.

"I'm right here with you."

Zhong Ye sat down facing the huge black dragon, "If you have anything to say to me, I will accompany you if you want to chat."

[...Leave...I'm being eroded by...the abyss...I don't know what...will be controlled...]

【...And I can...feel that my...'children' will also become violent...they will hurt you...】

"Although I'm not a legend yet, I'm almost there." Zhong Ye looked up at the huge head in front of him, "They can't hurt me."

【...Since you insist...】

After that, there was no sound in Zhong Ye's mind anymore.

After looking at the black dragon for a while, Zhong Ye suddenly remembered something.

"Want to fall asleep? I can help you."

The pain of the black dragon is mainly due to the erosion of the abyss. Although it is not known whether he will continue to be affected after entering the dream, the dragon has the ability to restrain all his power into the dream.

If the black dragon is allowed to sleep, will the mutation of the forest stop?

【...Can you let me... sleep? 】

Zhong Ye solemnly nodded, "It should be possible. Although I have never used this trick against a demigod, I can tell you frankly that I have part of the power of the Oneiroi."

【...Give it a try...】

Zhong Ye put his hand on the black dragon again, and silently activated his ability.

Not long after, he could feel the overflowing radiation being reeled back into the black dragon's body.

The changes in the forest seemed to have stopped, and the dragon's panting gradually calmed down.

However, after the coercion of the black dragon disappeared, the beasts that had been irradiated by the dragon and became powerful were able to move freely.

Before, it was because of Longwei that they did not dare to move freely. Now that Longwei has disappeared, the wild beasts can naturally move.

——Whether walking out of the forest or approaching the dragon.

Sensing the movement of wild beasts in the forest, Zhong Ye took out the weapon from his bracelet and sat on the ground with the long knife across his lap.

It wasn't long before the first beast approaching the dragon appeared.

It was a bird, its beak had begun to petrify, and what Zhong Ye was more concerned about was the strength with which it flapped its wings.

If nothing else, its muscles have also been strengthened.

This is the power of the 'gods', even if the giant dragon is only a demigod, creatures infected by their power can be strengthened in this way.

The bird wanted to land, but was met with a cold stare from Zhong Ye, and it flew away in shock, not daring to land.

What it wants to do, Zhong Ye is very clear, there is a high probability that it will eat the black dragon.

——Even at such a distance, he could still feel the violence and madness of that bird.

With the first beast, the second and third beasts also appeared.

A deer and a wolf walked slowly, Zhong Ye could feel their desires without observing them with naked eyes.

Sighing lightly, Zhong Ye held the long knife and stood up.

Afterwards, the figure blurred, and instantly appeared beside the wolf wearing the stone slab, smashing its body with a single blow.

The next moment, he turned around and attacked the moose. The moose didn't even react, and was cut in half by Zhong Ye.

However, beasts soon appeared on the other side of the black dragon's body.

As the source of their blood, the black dragon is very attractive to them.

These animals have been infected by the abyss, and their brains are completely dominated by desire.

In addition to wild beasts, some insects were also affected by the double influence of the black dragon and the abyss.

Although most insects will die because their simple life structure cannot be tolerated, even if there is only a small part, that is a huge number.

In addition to killing the incoming beasts, Zhong Ye also needs to 'deworm' the black dragon. Many bugs will burrow under the black dragon's scales, so he also needs to peel off the black dragon's scales to find out the bugs hidden underneath. , and then eliminated.

Fortunately, Zhong Ye's perception ability is strong enough to complete this task.

The black dragon has been sleeping, no matter what happens outside, he never wakes up.

This is a very bad situation, but Zhong Ye has nothing to do. Once the creatures in the forest continue to alienate, it will be a disaster.

I don't know when the Druids will arrive...
