I start by traversing the wilderness, taming beasts to survive.

Chapter 296 Tragic
The strength of the great priest far exceeded Han Ning's imagination.

He clearly remembered that Qingdou once said that the Great Priest was only slightly stronger than Akatos, and if they joined forces, they would probably be able to draw a tie.

However, the facts mercilessly hit Qing Dou in the face. Unexpectedly, the great priest almost crushed the barrier of the Emerald Forest with a crushing gesture, and instantly killed the Abyssal Beast that had used the Undead Jellyfish Shield.

"I don't know what happened to Lord Akatos... we must prepare for the worst."

Han Ning murmured to himself.

Perhaps it was due to the energy that silently annihilated everything around him, but the super powerful soul skill Akatos had just erupted was not as big as the movement when the great priest commanded the soul beasts to attack the emerald barrier.

As a result, the beastmasters in Yeming City were temporarily unaware of what was happening on the surface.

Seeing Han Ning's devastated look, Qing Fan, who had not yet left, suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart and asked with great concern:

"Han Ning, what happened on the surface? How are my father and the ancestor?"

"Something happened to Lord Akatos and Chief Qingdou..."

"If you encounter any difficulties, tell me as much as possible. Remember, before evacuating the Insect Continent, don't let the Dragon Blood Clan be in chaos. The current Dragon Blood Clan needs you, the young leader, to stand up and take charge of the overall situation."

"Barry..."

He was pacing left and right in the hall, keeping chanting Barry's name, as if he was thinking about something.

Han Ning's face was solemn, and he briefly explained to Qing Fan what happened on the surface.

He also needs to inform high-level humans of what is happening on the surface as soon as possible to speed up the construction progress.

He shook it vigorously a few times, and finally shook the stunned Qing Fan out of his dazed state.

The more Qing Fan listened, his calm eyes gradually became filled with anxiety.

"call……"

Suddenly, he stopped and his expression became extremely ugly:
"I remember, Barry... I remember my father once told me that this person... was the Aratak who designed to assassinate the ancestor of Qingxuan. Why did he become a great priest?!"

Qingfan did not continue to reply, but nodded silently, and disappeared into the hall with hurried steps.

"In addition... I suggest that you don't tell other dragon blood people about the relevant news. At most, only tell the direct descendants who are close to your father." Han Ning suggested.

After Qing Fan left, the hall fell into silence. Han Ning stood in the dark conference hall, the dim light illuminating his face in a gloomy way.

"He should know nothing about the situation of the Gray Demon Whale... Otherwise, if he, who is in desperate need of blood, learns that there is a Gray Demon Whale in Ye Ming City that contains a huge amount of blood and spiritual energy, I am afraid he will not give up... This most likely shows that Barry has been staying in the mysterious Queen's Temple in recent years and knows nothing about the internal situation in Yeming City."

"I understand. I'm going to summon father's cronies right now. Excuse me."

To put it in more realistic terms, this incident did not happen to humans. Han Ning felt that what he said was somewhat "standing and talking without pain in the back", but in order to ease Qing Fan's inner emotions, he could only do this.

Due to the special nature of the history of the Dragon Blood Clan, they were a group of insect masters of the same race who hugged each other for warmth in the early days. As a result, the relationship between their relatives was much closer than that of other ancestor insect master families.

"I don't know about this... In short, we are currently unable to participate in what is happening on the surface. The most important thing now is to quickly complete the follow-up work on the Gray Demon Whale, seize the time, and leave the Insect Continent."

"Barry is from Aratak... So, the Hell Fire Wall in Night City may not be able to stop him."

Guessing, Han Ning didn't completely think that was the case. He gathered his mood, followed Qing Fan's footsteps, and walked out of the hall quickly.

Han Ning was worried that Qing Fan would do something stupid that would cause the Dragon Blood Tribe to fall into civil strife and affect the evacuation plan. He stepped forward and patted Qing Fan on the shoulder and said in a serious tone,
"Qing Fan, I know you are in a hurry now, but you must not rush to the surface just for the sake of impulse. If you go to an enemy that even His Excellency Akatos and Chief Qing Dou cannot defeat... it is completely a mantis trying to defeat the enemy."

Qingfan took a deep breath to calm down the huge sadness in his heart, and nodded with a stiff face.

……

An hour later, with Han Ning's information, all human management learned about what happened on the surface.

And just when everyone was discussing how to speed up the construction progress and leave the Insect Continent, a faint light suddenly appeared under the sky to the west of Yeming City.

At first, Han Ning didn't notice it across Ye Ming City.

Until the bright light turned into a meteor with a long tail flame, approaching more than ten kilometers outside Ye Ming City, Qing Yao and a group of Akatos' followers guarding the city, as well as the fourth-level spiritual power Han Ning, all at the same time, felt the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the outside world.

Han Ning's face changed as he was in a meeting, and before he could even say anything, he immediately summoned the egg pancake and rushed towards the direction of the psychic wave with Qing Yao who was guarding the outside.

To the west of Yeming City, outside the Wall of Dark Fire.

"It's the aura of Lord Akatos...not an enemy."

Han Ning's face was solemn, looking at the shining meteors that were getting bigger and bigger in front of him, and motioned to Qing Yao to hold up the psychic shield.

next second.

boom! !

The meteor with a swaying cyan halo slammed into the ground in front of Han Ning and others, causing the earth to shake violently for dozens of kilometers in radius.

A large amount of green smoke rose from the sunken pit, vaguely revealing the huge size of the Emerald Aurora Dragon... and the figure covered in blood in its arms.

"Quick, it's Leader Qingdou, rescue him!"

Before Han Ning could finish speaking, Qing Yao and a group of jade dragons beside him released soft spiritual energy, dragging the jade aurora dragon and Qing Dou out of the pit and gently placing them on the ground. superior.

The body of the Emerald Aurora Dragon looked normal, and there were no particularly serious injuries. However, its spirit was very depressed at this time, and it did not respond at all to the dragon language greetings sent by other dragons.

Qingdou in its arms looked even more miserable. The already rough lizard head was covered with blood, and the parts below the chest disappeared without a trace. This situation was very similar to Niya's back then.

In an instant, several soft healing rays of light enveloped the Emerald Aurora Dragon and Qing Dou, and the surrounding soul beasts each used healing soul skills to help them repair their injuries.

"Father!"

Qing Fan, who arrived quickly, passed through a group of soul beasts, and together with a dozen Dragon Blood executives, gathered Qing Dou in the center.

Qingfan's call finally caught Qingdou's attention.

The leader of the Dragon Blood Tribe, who was curled up in a ball as if in a coma, suddenly trembled slightly with his closed eyelids, and then opened his eyes. "Qingfan...ahem..."

Qing Dou coughed several times and coughed up a few mouthfuls of black bloody sputum. Then he turned his eyes and scanned around, finally landing on Han Ning, and said in a weak tone,

"Take me back to the city first...Han Ning, I have something to tell you."

"Okay, everyone, let's go in!"

...

In the spacious hall, Qing Dou was carried into a temporary soft bed by Qing Fan.

The smaller emerald aurora dragon was lying on the other side of the bed, its dragon eyes closed, its chest rising and falling slightly, and its breathing rate beginning to rise and then slowing down, looking extremely weak.

Seven or eight high-level officials from dragon blood and humans stood silently beside the bed. Their expressions varied, but they were all mixed with a hint of uneasiness.

After resting for a while, Qing Dou finally regained some strength. He leaned on the edge of the bed, pointed at the lifeless Jade Aurora Dragon, and said:
"Liu Guang's body hides the remnant soul of the ancestor. Han Ning... you are proficient in spiritual magic. Try to separate the remnant soul of the ancestor."

"Remnant soul? No wonder the Emerald Aurora Dragon looks so weak. It turns out that there is a being squeezed into its body that is more powerful than its spiritual power."

Han Ning understood in his heart, and then, he followed Qing Dou's request, walked to the Jade Aurora Dragon, used his mental power, and scanned its brain.

His brows furrowed unconsciously:
"I sensed two different spiritual auras...and both were very weak."

"With Lord Akatos' current mental state, I cannot take out its spiritual body. Even if I take it out... there is no suitable container to place it in. It is better to let it stay in the body of the Emerald Aurora Dragon until a suitable place is found. Then transfer the soul container." Han Ning suggested.

"Are they in danger?" Qing Dou asked with concern.

"There should be no problems with the Emerald Aurora Dragon within a few days... Lord Akatos... Its mental body is incomplete. In addition, it is a soul beast. The spirituality of its mental body is inherently inferior to that of humans, so it will be difficult to recover. .”

"Container..." Qing Dou's expression changed, "I remember that the ancestor once told me before his physical body disappeared... The life seed it handed over to you is also its power seed, and it is its understanding of the soul power. , if it is lucky enough not to die, transfer its remaining soul into the life seed...cough cough cough!"

After finishing a long sentence, Qingdou couldn't help coughing hard again.

"Seed of Life? Is this it?"

Han Ning touched his waist pouch and took out an ordinary seed, as big as a pea.

To be honest, he didn't see anything special about this seed at first.

Seeing Qing Dou's confused look, Han Ning knew that he couldn't figure out whether it was true or not, so he held the life seed and tried to use the Taiyin soul-draining method to pull Akatos out of the Emerald Aurora Dragon's body. .

Two dragon souls staying in one body will affect the spiritual world of the main soul over time.

The gentle mental power is like a pair of big hands, pulling Akatos's illusory remnant soul and separating it from the body of the Emerald Aurora Dragon.

In an instant, all the beast masters of the third level and above clearly saw that an illusory emerald cracking rock dragon light and shadow, pulled by an inexplicable force, entered the life seed in Han Ning's palm.

As the remnant soul of Akatos entered, the emerald-green seed suddenly shone with a faint light, and then turned into an ordinary pea.

"Ahem... Han Ning, you are good at nourishing the soul. Lord Akatos will stay with you for the time being. Please..."

Qingdou said, staggering half of his body, and was about to perform the dragon blood ritual to Han Ning.

"No, Leader Qingdou is serious. Your Excellency Akatos is the savior of all of us. Helping it restore its life is what we should do."

Han Ning hurriedly stopped Qing Dou's actions, and then brought the topic to the great priest he cared about most.
"What happened on the surface? I heard Qingfan say that the great priest Barry is actually an Aratak?"

"Barry..."

Thinking of this name, Qing Dou's eyes became cold.

"It was he who caused the death of the ancestor. Barry was originally the guardian knight beside Grand Duke Ye Ming. Even among the Aratak tribe with strict rules and distinct hierarchies, he still enjoys a title and a high position of power... I don't know him. Why didn’t he leave the Insect Continent with the other Aratak people and instead became the high priest of the Queen’s Temple?”

"After the barrier was broken down, the founder unleashed his accumulated soul skills in advance, and at the same time exploded Barry's Eye of Fear, leaving a glimmer of hope for me and my contracted soul beasts. During the evacuation process, I You know, the prerequisite for an early outbreak is that the ancestor burned more than two-thirds of his own soul."

"In the original plan of the ancestor, it only disappeared physically and spiritually, and left a dragon soul to leave with me. I would then look for an opportunity to use the talent of the high-level jade dragon to achieve nirvana and rebirth. Now..."

The dragon blood people around him became very angry when they heard Qing Dou's description.

But at best they were incompetent and furious. Apart from shouting and cursing, they did not make any changes to the status quo.

"What about Barry?" After a few seconds of silence, Han Ning continued to ask.

"I'm not sure. The Demonic Eye of Fear that he worked so hard to summon was torn apart by the ancestor's soul skill, and he must have been seriously injured. I guess... he won't cause us any trouble in the short term, but... reality has happened. Things tell me that things will not develop in the direction I expected." Qing Dou let out a long sigh.

Han Ning was silent.

This time, he lost his wife and lost his troops.

Speaking of which, the Undead Jellyfish Shield is a good treasure. It is placed outside the Gray Demon Whale to better defend against the outer space storm.

Now it's lost outside the Emerald Forest, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back.

"Father, why did the barrier suddenly collapse?" Qing Fan, who had never spoken, discovered a blind spot.

"What do you think? Of course there is a mole inside the Emerald Forest." Qing Dou snorted coldly.

"Cang Yuan Turtle? Is it that old turtle?" Qing Fan gritted his teeth and punched the stone table.

"Who else but it?"

After talking for so long, Qing Dou, who was mentally weak, gradually began to look sluggish again. He rubbed his forehead and cheered up, saying,

"The entire Emerald Forest and more than one-third of the continent's surface were destroyed by the soul skills released by the Ancestor. The old turtle has probably been evaporated by spiritual energy. If you want to cause trouble for it, you can only go to the underworld."

"Don't talk about this... Qing Fan, I am mentally injured now, and my time to wake up will be limited in the future. The affairs of the Dragon Blood Clan will be left to you and a group of elders to handle..."

"And Han Ning... I suggest that we leave the Insect Continent within 10 days, no, within 5 days. Barry must have seen the direction I left. I'm afraid he will find this place soon. We must hurry up!"
