There was a deafening roar, like thunder from the heavens. Instantly, the earth began to tremble violently, as if an enraged beast were roaring furiously. The ground heaved and cracked, making it difficult to stand. This sudden change stunned everyone present, and a wave of panic and unease surged in their hearts.
At the junction of the three tribes, in the Death Forest, a startling scene unfolded. Dazzling red rays of light shot up into the sky like fiery dragons, piercing the clouds. These rays burned fiercely like blazing flames, dyeing the entire sky a blood-red. They intertwined and entwined in the air, forming a vast web of light that exuded a terrifying aura.
In the orcs' royal city - the Dragon Palace, Long Yan and Lin Ziyu suddenly stood up and flashed into the air. Their eyes were all cast towards the sky in the distance that was lit up by blood-red light.
The two exchanged glances, their eyes revealing barely concealed shock. This bizarre and terrifying scene instantly made them realize the seriousness of the situation.
"There's some unusual movement coming from the Death Forest! Could it be... that the Soul-Devouring Demon Insect King has broken through the barrier? Doesn't it still take three months to break through the barrier?" Lin Ziyu took a breath, his voice filled with doubt.
Long Yan clenched his fists tightly, nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "If this is true, the situation is extremely critical. If this monster were to wreak havoc, all three of our tribes would face catastrophic destruction."
"There is no time to lose, we must take action immediately to stop it!" Lin Ziyu said anxiously.
Long Yan agreed with this and made a prompt decision, “Well, contact General Xiong in the border town immediately to learn about the situation in the Death Forest. At the same time, contact the sea tribe and the human race. In this crisis, only if our three tribes work together and fight together can we have a chance of survival.” After that, he took out the communicator and contacted General Xiong.
The communicator quickly connected, and Long Yan urgently asked, "General Xiong, what's the situation in the Death Forest?" General Xiong's voice was a little panicked, "Your Majesty, the Dragon Emperor, the situation is dire. The Soul Devouring Demon Insect King in the Death Forest has broken through part of the barrier. All the orc soldiers exploring the Death Forest have perished. A beast tide has appeared and is spreading towards the surrounding areas. Dragon Emperor, we need support."
Long Yan said he understood, and quickly contacted the Sea Clan's Sea Emperor Hai Lanyue and the Human Clan's Prince Qin Jinghuai. They also said they would immediately send elite troops to support him.
Long Yan quickly gathered his men, arranged for those remaining in the Imperial City, and, leading the elite Orc soldiers, galloped towards the Death Forest. Long Yan's brow furrowed as he knew the dangers of this journey were high. Meanwhile, Lin Ziyu silently pondered a countermeasure.
Five days later, they reached the edge of the Death Forest, where an evil aura filled them. Countless Soul-Devouring Demonic Insects danced about, with a massive Soul-Devouring Demonic Insect King baring its fangs and claws in the center. Numerous other magical beasts of various kinds also swarmed, forming a massive beast tide. The Orc soldiers, led by General Xiong, struggled to resist the beast tide.
Long Yan shouted, "Zi Yu, set up the protective formation first! Lang Xiaoyi, Hu Haoyue, Huang Beiyue, come with me to relieve General Xiong and the others."
However, the Demon Insect King noticed that someone was obstructing him, and with a roar, he commanded the demon insect swarm to rush towards them.
Long Yan brandished his sword and charged into the insect swarm. With a flash of his sword, he slew the insects one by one. The orc soldiers also joined the battle.
Lin Ziyu arranged a defensive formation while casting spells to attack the approaching monsters. Soon, a temporary defensive formation was formed. The injured orc soldiers were taken inside.
But the monsters were too numerous, and the protective formation was crumbling. Long Yan, blinded by his killing spree, was oblivious to the numerous wounds he sustained. Just then, a horn blared in the distance; reinforcements from the sea and human races had arrived.
Sea Emperor Hai Lanyue waved his hands, and a blue light curtain rushed towards the insect swarm, freezing and dropping the demonic insects wherever it passed. Human prince Qin Jinghuai drew his bow and arrow, each arrow slaying several demonic beasts. The three forces converged, and morale was greatly boosted.
However, the Demon Insect King became even more frantic. Its entire body glowed red, and the surrounding demon insects exploded one after another. The powerful impact broke up the coalition's formation. Long Yan saw the right moment, concentrated all his strength on his sword, and rushed towards the Insect King like lightning. Seeing this, Lin Ziyu immediately cast various buff spells behind Long Yan. Long Yan stabbed the Insect King with a sword, and the Insect King blocked it with his giant pincers. The two were in a stalemate. Lin Ziyu shouted loudly and released his strongest spell, hitting the Insect King's side. The Insect King felt pain, and his defense was exposed. Long Yan took advantage of the situation and struck with all his strength, finally seriously injuring the Insect King. Suddenly, a demon insect that was somewhat similar to the Demon Insect King let out a sharp cry, and everyone felt dizzy. The Soul-Devouring Demon Insect King disappeared, and the other demon insects fled in all directions.
The thrilling moment passed, and this terrifying crisis was temporarily resolved. Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief as if all their strength had been drained away.
However, they knew that this was only a brief respite, as the Soul-Devouring Demon Insect King had not been killed and they would still have to face it soon.
Before long, important figures from the three ethnic groups gathered together and sat around a huge and quaint round table, ready to discuss strategies and methods to deal with the subsequent situation.
At this moment, the atmosphere around the round table seemed solemn and oppressive. The prominent figures from each tribe exchanged glances, but no one was willing to speak first. Each face wore an unconcealed look of worry, as if the thoughts they were carrying were too heavy and complex to even begin. Time slipped by, and the room was filled with a suffocating silence.
Facing this silent atmosphere, Long Yan and Lin Ziyu exchanged a glance and spoke first, "Although we repelled the Demon Insect King this time, it was only seriously injured but not dead. I'm sure it will return soon."
Sea Emperor Hai Lanyue nodded and said, "Also, part of the barrier has been broken, so it will be extremely difficult to seal it again." Everyone fell silent again.
The Third Prince, representing the human race, said, "Don't the Soul Devouring Demonic Insects have any natural enemies?"
A white-haired old man in the corner slowly stood up and said, "According to ancient records, the legend says that the Phoenix Fire can restrain the Soul-Devouring Demonic Insects, but they disappeared thousands of years ago." When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
The majestic and imposing Sea Emperor, Hai Lanyue, gazed at Long Yan with piercing eyes. He spoke slowly, "Dragon Emperor, I wonder if Soul-Devouring Purple Flame is still there?" His voice echoed through the silence. Upon hearing this, everyone present involuntarily cast their gazes towards the incomparably noble Sea Emperor.
The Sea Emperor tilted his head slightly, surveying the crowd before returning his gaze to Long Yan. He continued, "Not long ago, our Sea Clan's territory was suddenly attacked by a large number of Soul-Devouring Demonic Insects. Those insects were incredibly ferocious, destroying everything they passed through. Fortunately, the Dragon Emperor's demonic pet, Soul-Devouring Purple Flame, intervened in time to avert this terrible crisis."
