Chapter 1336 The Past and the Future
Accompanied by unbridled laughter, one of the four giant dragons that had been kneeling inside the giant space gate suddenly stood up. Its thick dragon neck flashed with strong light, and it sprayed a breath of dragon towards the temporary magic barrier.
As all this happened in a flash, the other three nearby dragons had no time to react and could only watch the raging flames rush towards the makeshift magic circle.
Through the connection between the magic circle and the giant gate, it can be judged that the target of its sudden attack is the key place that controls the lock that blocks our distorted space.
"What happened? Is there an internal conflict on the other side?"
Seeing this scene, Serin's eyes lit up and she blurted out, "Is it that guy?"
It was not difficult to tell from Serin's extremely surprised eyes that she obviously recognized the giant dragon that suddenly moved.
Just as Serin opened her mouth, the sudden hot dragon breath completely covered the magic circle that distorted the space lock.
call!
A raging flame suddenly rose up, however, when the flame gradually faded, the surface of the twisted space lock was shining brightly, obviously it was protected by a defensive barrier and was not hurt at all by the dragon's breath.
"I didn't expect that the defensive measures I temporarily added would actually work. Hong Si, you actually tried to disobey me!"
The one surrounded by the flame-colored silk was the first to react, and shouted angrily: "Kill him for me!"
After hearing Boruso's order, the other three stunned minions came to their senses from their surprise, roared, and pounced on the dragon that was attacking the magic circle.
"It's Hong Si? No wonder Serin was so surprised."
Seeing this, a hint of surprise also flashed across Lei Xiao's eyes.
The name Hong Si was not unfamiliar to me.
At that time, when he was about to have a decisive battle with the son chosen by the evil god, it was he who came to the capital with a group of giant dragons and the memory crystal that recorded the image of Hong Ye, trying to capture people, but was eventually driven back by himself.
Later, when we came into contact with the Shadow Market, it was they who took the lead in threatening the administrators and revealed that the culprit was planning to attack the human race.
"Although Hongsi's strength has not yet reached the sixth level, he is the vanguard general in the opponent's camp, which is enough to prove that he has a certain status. Why did he suddenly make such a move?"
Lei Xiao frowned slightly and recalled Hong Ye's description of the other party at that time.
Hongsi's family is considered a branch of the Hongye family. Because they have produced several notorious evil dragons, it is an extremely unpopular branch and has a relatively low status in the clan.
It was also because of this that, on that night of destruction, Hongs's family was secretly won over by Poruso and eventually became the minions of the culprit.
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao looked at Hong Ye and found that the latter also looked confused. It was obvious that he did not expect the other party to suddenly attack at this time.
Just when Lei Xiao had just figured out the current situation, in the space gate where the wind and clouds suddenly became turbulent, Hong Si was already fighting with three other dragons.
Since Hongsi transformed into human form the moment of contact, even though the three dragons were powerful and had the upper hand in numbers, the former's body suddenly shrank and was quite flexible, leaving the three dragons helpless for a while.
"Your Majesty, is it true that the other side is in internal strife?"
After being surprised, a hint of hesitation flashed across Serin's starry eyes, and then she said, "Or is this another conspiracy of the other party?"
"The other party has used the distorted space lock to block everything, making it impossible for us to get close. As long as the other party succeeds in coronation, its strength will increase dramatically, and it will be difficult for us to defeat it."
Lei Xiao hesitated for a moment, then responded: "Besides that, the longer the time drags on, the greater the possibility that our battle lines will collapse, and there is no need for the other party to open the space lock in advance."
"So, Hong Si is really fighting for us?"
Serin frowned, looking incredulous, "He was still a young dragon back then. Although he did not participate in the night of destruction, he later fawned on him and became one of Boruso's chief lackeys. Why would he bite back at his master now?"
"Miss, if you think about it carefully, there are actually signs."
The sixth-rank dragon warrior who had spoken many times before stood up and said, "Do you remember the time when Hong Si was ordered to go to the human capital to look for Hong Ye?"
"According to my later investigation, at that time, Boruso not only gave him the Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystal and Memory Crystal, but also several magic scrolls that could break the sixth-level illusion to ensure that nothing would go wrong."
"But I just took the time to ask His Majesty the Human Race. His Majesty used his fifth-level illusion masters to disguise themselves, so that they could deceive the enemy and return empty-handed. This is obviously a mistake that would never happen."
Hearing the sound, not only Serin, but also Lei Xiao and others had a flash of surprise in their eyes.
At that time, if the other party really used the magic scroll to see through the disguise of Rose Queen Esther, then we would undoubtedly fall into an extremely passive situation.
"So, from that time on, this guy has been secretly working for the human king?"
Serin nodded thoughtfully, and said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "Since this guy is planning to turn from evil to good, there is no reason for us to refuse him."
"That's right, let's wait and see what happens."
Lei Xiao waved his hand, signaling everyone to prepare for battle, and said: "As soon as the space magic lock is released, we will rush in immediately."
While we were all gearing up for battle, the fight between the human-form Hong Si and the three red dragons became increasingly fierce.
Under the siege of three giant dragons, although Hongsi was surrounded by danger every time he dodged, he was able to escape from the opponent's claws and dragon breath at the critical moment by relying on his flexible human form.
Since there was a temporary space-locking magic circle next to the battlefield, and Hongsi deliberately moved closer to the magic circle, the attacks of the three minions would often affect the magic circle, causing waves in the defensive barrier.
"You are a bunch of idiots. The magic circle is just a temporary defensive barrier that cannot withstand strong attacks. If you attack a few more times, you will just shoot yourself in the foot!"
Boruso's roar rang out. He was currently being baptized by the magical earth veins and was obviously unable to attack directly.
However, Hongsi was only at the fifth level after all, while two of the other three dragons were obviously at the sixth level. Even though the opponent was concerned about accidentally damaging the magic circle, the difference in strength was completely revealed within half a minute.
"Those who disobey, die!"
I saw a sixth-level minion seize the opportunity, swung its sharp claws and attacked fiercely.
Just when the attack was about to land on Hong Si, accompanied by a flash of bright light, Hong Si quickly transformed back into the form of a dragon and took advantage of the situation to hit the opponent's huge body from the side.
The dragon claws of the sixth-level minions cut through layers of dragon scales, instantly leaving a long blood mark on Hongsi's body, but at the same time, because of the latter's sudden collision, the remaining force of this attack all fell on the defensive barrier of the magic circle.
Crash.
There was a crisp sound of glass colliding, and the already fragile defensive barrier connected to the several magic crystals laid in the center of the space-distorting magic circle were all shattered. The next second, the distorted space lock that originally exuded a dangerous aura disappeared without a trace.
"Let's rush in!"
Seeing that the giant space gate was no longer an obstacle, Lei Xiao took the brunt and led a group of our strong men to fly straight to the temporary barrier area.
"A bunch of stupid rubbish! If I had known earlier, I should have turned you into masterpieces that look exactly like those puppets!"
Seeing that Poruso's voice was getting more and more angry, he yelled, "Hurry up and kill the disobedient one for me!"
Hearing the sound, the three minions, knowing that they had made a fool of themselves, shrank their necks and rushed towards Hongsi again. Since the latter's back was already torn and his injuries were very serious, he had obviously lost the ability to transform and dodge, so he could only watch it all and had no time to react.
At this moment, two slender and tall figures appeared beside Hongsi. They were Jiang Xi who had appeared ahead of him with Xiaojie.
"The Lord's protection!"
As Xiao Jie's clear voice rang out, an absolute defense barrier emerged, blocking all the attacks from the three minions.
Just when the three opponents suffered setbacks, Lei Xiao and his group of strong men arrived.
"You bastards, you guys should pay back the blood debt you owed me!"
Serin and other dragons, who were also in the form of giant dragons, roared and knocked all three minions to the ground.
Lei Xiao ordered Bing Lao and others to go for support, while he brought other strong men to Hong Si.
"Why did you save me?"
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, Hong Si, who had collapsed on the ground, barely raised his head and asked Lei Xiao.
"You sacrificed yourself to open up a path for us, so I must return the favor."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and asked Xiaoyue to treat him.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that even though this guy had spoken rudely many times, at most it was just a verbal attack to confuse other dragons, and it did not cause any actual harm to us.
In addition, we learned from the mouths of Serin and other dragons that when we first met the other party, the other party obviously let us go, which allowed us to focus on dealing with the son chosen by the evil god.
As for the second time when he threatened the market manager, from now on, perhaps he realized that we have a connection with the Shadow Market, so he reminded us in a threatening tone that the culprit intended to attack the human race after the coronation ceremony.
From this it is not difficult to see that he has made a contribution to our side, so I will naturally not stand by and watch him die.
"Hongsi, why do you want to help us?"
Hong Ye on the side couldn't help but blurt out.
"Because Napoluso has always been my enemy."
Hong Si's breathing was rapid, and he responded, "Back then, I saw with my own eyes that my father, who refused to join forces with Boruso, was parasitized by the culprit and his minions with a giant purple eyeball. That's when he lost his mind and became a puppet controlled by that guy. Not only my father, but also other elders in the tribe."
"No wonder the culprit gathered so many accomplices at the time. It turned out that he used "Eclipse" to control some dragons?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Ye followed Lei Xiao's instructions and gave the other party a few healing potions, and nodded thoughtfully.
Thinking back carefully, on that night of destruction, many attackers did look hideous, and it was impossible to communicate or converse with them. They were not even afraid of pain.
Moreover, given Boruso's status and reputation at the time, it would have been impossible for him to gather so many powerful people to work for him. Now it seems that everything makes sense.
"So, my family was not won over by Boruso, nor did it trample on the family's honor. It just became a puppet being manipulated, and my father definitely did not attack you on purpose."
Hong Si's voice was full of apology, and he said to Hong Ye: "And I saw all this with my own eyes, so I decided to wait for an opportunity to get close to Boruso."
"After the Night of Destruction, that guy's power is at its peak. I have to lower my head and be willing to become an obedient minion before I can have a chance to get close to him and find a chance to stab him in the back."
At this point, Hong Si looked at Lei Xiao again and continued, "Your Majesty, from the first time we met in the capital, I saw a glimmer of hope in you, a glimmer of hope that you could dethrone that guy, and your previous rude remarks were all to confuse the other minions of Boruso, so please don't take offense, Your Majesty."
"Your Excellency is too kind. You have endured humiliation for hundreds of years and finally opened up a way forward for us. I should be grateful to you. How could I blame you?"
Lei Xiao waved his hand, then nodded to Hong Si and said, "Just recover well, and leave the rest to us."
After saying that, Lei Xiao began to re-examine the current battle situation.
In the face of our superior combat power, and with the dragons like Serin fighting extremely fiercely, the three minions soon fell down with screams, and were annihilated in the rising dragon breath.
"The only one left is the culprit himself."
Surrounded by many powerful men, Lei Xiao stepped through the smoke that had not yet extinguished and led the powerful men straight to the end of the space.
What greeted us was the enemy's increasingly angry roar: "You are just a bunch of ants. Don't think you can shake me like this! This dragon's lair is full of dragons loyal to me. Sooner or later, you will die here!"
"Not necessarily."
Lei Xiao's voice echoed in the fiery space, exuding unquestionable majesty: "We just need to kill you and crown the new king. The reason they obey you is not because of you, but because of the crown on your forehead. In the final analysis, you are just a puppet. It is ridiculous that you still try to control others."
"Then let's see if you have the ability to do so!"
Porusso's angry roar sounded, and the entire space was filled with murderous intent.
