Chapter 256: The Temple Appears, Action Begins
After walking for more than an hour, the view suddenly became wider.
"arrive!"
Ling Xiao spoke softly.
The scenery before my eyes changed instantly.
Where there used to be dense forests, there are now bushes everywhere.
Looking around, bushes about three feet high covered the ground, occupying an area of at least ten acres.
A variety of flowers grow among the shrubs.
Colorful and beautiful.
The air was filled with a light mist and the scent of flowers. The sunlight penetrated through the mist and dispersed everywhere, making it look less dazzling.
At the same time, a hazy and soft halo is formed, rippling in this sea of flowers.
It truly deserves the word dream!
Amidst the flowers, a lake comes into view.
The rich scent of water elements, accompanied by an even richer breath of life, continued to spread out from the water.
"This is it."
Ling Xiao stopped first.
Huang Shuo subconsciously looked around, a look of strangeness and doubt appeared on his face.
"Where is the Dream Temple?"
Ling Xiao pointed to the lake, "It's in this lake."
"So we are going to dive into the water next?" Huang Shuo asked again.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but sneer.
"What you said is also a method. If you demons can't wait, you can try it first."
After saying that, Ling Xiao stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Huang Shuo could definitely hear the sarcasm in the words.
He frowned again and continued to ask: "What is under the water? The seal left by the goddess of nature?"
"Want to know?"
Ling Xiao had an amusing look on his face, but he did not respond in a hurry. Instead, he slowly spread out his right hand.
"The information is not given to you for free. There must be some price to pay in exchange, right?"
The sudden blackmail made Huang Shuo's face turn pale.
Although he was very unwilling, he finally took out something and put it in Ling Xiao's palm.
Ling Xiao finally revealed a happy smile.
"Since you are so generous, it's okay to tell you."
"There lives an ancient powerful being in the lake. He has lived for at least tens of thousands of years. It is said that he was the guardian of the goddess of nature."
"If you are curious, you can dive down and see the power of this ancient great man."
When saying this, Ling Xiao looked quite expectant.
Huang Shuo naturally didn't respond, "Ancient power? Is it a demon beast? What race?"
Ling Xiao didn't answer, but spread out his hands with a smile again.
"puff!"
A sneer suddenly came from the team.
All members of the Temple Alliance, including the Paladin Leader Han Qian, turned their backs, as if they had not seen this scene.
However, the smiles on everyone's faces could not be hidden no matter what.
Huang Shuo was a little annoyed when he saw this, "Don't go too far!"
Ling Xiao shrugged nonchalantly.
"I don't care. It's up to you whether you want to know or not."
After hearing this, Huang Shuo could only take a deep breath and force himself to calm the anger in his chest.
No matter how dissatisfied he was, he still took out another item and put it in Ling Xiao's hand.
"You can say it now!"
"of course."
Ling Xiao obviously didn't expect Huang Shuo to be so generous as to take out two pieces of dragon ointment in exchange for information. You know, dragon ointment is an excellent tonic for both humans and demons.
For a moment, Ling Xiao hesitated as to whether or not to continue.
However, since he had already taken the things, he couldn't return them. He could only answer simply, "There is an elf dragon living in the lake."
Hearing this, all the demons couldn't help but gasp.
This news is indeed important.
"Thank you," Huang Shuo regained his composure, "Then how do we enter the Dream Temple?"
"Just wait patiently. The Dream Temple will open in a day at most. It will then float to the surface of the lake and build a passage to the shore. Then you can just walk over there."
After getting all the information he wanted, Huang Shuo stopped talking and instead took a group of powerful demons to sit down not far away.
The same is true for the Temple Alliance.
Everyone remained quiet, silently waiting for the opening of the Dream Temple.
Time passes minute by minute.
The sky gradually darkened and night fell quietly.
The environment is not completely dark. Without any tall trees blocking the view, the bright starry sky can fully illuminate the lakeside area.
I don’t know how long it took.
The stars disappeared and dawn began to break on the horizon.
However, the surroundings remained calm and nothing happened.
Just when the demons were about to lose their patience, a strange feeling spread in everyone's heart.
All those who were practicing came out of their meditation and looked in the direction where the breath came from.
The breath of nature suddenly became thick, so much so that the air began to distort, and every breath seemed to be inhaling rich vitality.
At this moment, even the demons felt extremely comfortable.
"coming!"
There were tiny ripples on the lake's surface.
Soon the ripples became bigger and bigger, and even several springs gushed out from the center.
I saw a emerald green palace emerging from the water. The palace was completely crystal clear green, with a halo flowing on the surface, and clear lake water flowed down along the top of the palace.
The breath of life became stronger and stronger, so much so that all plants began to grow rapidly.
The bushes, which were only about three feet high, submerged everyone present in the blink of an eye.
When the sun was completely high in the sky, the emerald green palace finally emerged from the water.
A faint mist swirled around the Nature Temple, blending with the light brought by the sun in the sky. After being refracted by the emerald green crystals of the Nature Temple, it transformed into a dreamlike and moving scene.
Such a beautiful scene deeply shocked everyone's heart.
Before they knew it, the bushes had moved along the lake surface towards the Temple of Nature, and soon the lake water could no longer be seen.
However, when the bushes were about to reach the shore of the Dream Temple, they stopped.
No further growth or progress will be made in any case.
At this point, everything has stabilized.
Ling Xiao then spoke in a deep voice, "You can go in now. It all depends on your luck and ability."
Huang Shuo nodded and naturally agreed with this statement.
However, he still turned around and looked at the ten demons who were going to enter the Dream Temple this time.
To be precise, it fell on the young man in black in the middle.
The young man is tall and slender, and looks to be about twenty years old. He not only has black hair, but also has a pair of black eyes.
From the standing positions of the ten people, it can be seen that he should be the leader.
"Abao, be careful." Huang Shuo reminded softly.
"Ah."
The young man in black named Abao responded simply, then tapped the ground with his toes and floated lightly towards the Temple of Nature.
Yue Ye, Leng Xiao and other participants of the demon clan reacted quickly and followed almost at the same time.
