Free Web NovelChapter 2429: Chapter 2427: Divine Mountain of the High God
At this critical juncture, Paris suddenly knocked Helis to the ground.
The dragon’s flames came crashing down, they were doomed.
At this crucial moment, Long Fei lifted his hand and slapped the air, a transparent barrier buzzed open above the Royal Palace square.
Black flames roared and crashed against it, but were all bounced back to the surroundings by the barrier.
The two sides confronted for a breath, the evil dragon finally closed its mouth, taking a deep breath of disbelief as it looked at this Eastern warrior.
Its poisonous fire could injure gods.
But here, it was easily blocked by this Eastern man.
Long Fei stared at it with a faint smile, "Dragon Clan’s mixed blood, the taste must be ordinary. It’s yours!"
The Black Dragon shivered, it didn’t know who Long Fei was talking to.
Before it could react, a black curtain suddenly tore open behind it, quickly wrapping it inside.
The black curtain disappeared, and the Black Dragon’s divine envoy was nowhere to be seen.
The people below were staring blankly above, utterly confused, not knowing what had happened.
It was the King who straightened his crown and stammered as he asked Long Fei, "What, what just happened? Why did the divine envoy suddenly disappear?"
Long Fei calmly replied, "Nothing much, it died, eaten by my servant."
"Eaten?"
The King’s tongue trembled a bit, staring at Long Fei in nervousness, exclaiming, "You, you actually dared to kill the divine envoy? This, this will bring disaster to our city!"
Other ministers also reproached Long Fei, with some even raising their swords, saying they would execute Long Fei and apologize to the divine envoy.
They completely disregarded that the envoy’s flames could have burned them, yet they stood out to speak for the evil god.
Long Fei understood, evil is easier to succumb to than goodness.
People won’t proactively provoke evil gods, and will instead target those helping them.
Because bad people can truly harm them, while good people will not.
He comforted the King, "You don’t need to be afraid, I will go up the Divine Mountain and explain this matter to your divine spirits. Now have your knights lead us up."
"You, this is what you said!"
The King didn’t expect Long Fei to be so agreeable.
He passed Long Fei to the divine spirits to deal with, and if anything happened, it would be Long Fei’s responsibility.
Just now, they were most afraid that Long Fei would run, leaving the blame all on them.
Paris solemnly addressed Long Fei, "Eastern god, I am willing to lead the way for you and become your loyal servant."
Although Helis was frail, she also firmly stated, "I am willing too."
Long Fei calmly replied, "Alright, taking you along won’t hurt."
Both nodded, their expressions more solemn than Long Fei’s.
They assumed going up meant death, but they were willing to face this calamity together with Long Fei because of him.
The King reluctantly pulled his daughter and advised.
Helis disappointingly told him, "Father, earlier you pushed me away and left alone. Don’t you feel ashamed saying this now?"
"I’m doing this for your own good!"
The King blushed red with anger, "If you won’t listen, accompany these Eastern people to die!"
He originally intended to send his daughter up the mountain, but now she wanted to go willingly, he was just happy.
The King instructed the Knight Captain, to lead over a hundred elite Silver Knights to escort Long Fei up the mountain.
Mount Olympus, towering and perilous, stands ten thousand feet high.
Its peak covered in snow, stretching across thousands of miles.
This mountain range resembles a giant crouching here, overseeing the vast lands and seas below.
Compared to the Eastern mountains, this place lacked a touch of spiritual beauty.
Reddish-brown rocks exposed on the ridges and slopes, with little forest cover.
The Wood Spirit Qi here is scarce, but Earth Spirit Energy is rich, with ample Golden Elemental Power and Fire Elemental Force.
The Western Direction has plenty of Geng Metal Qi, so the peaks lack the graceful charm of Eastern mountains.
Even with vegetation cover, it looks quite solemn.
A hundred knights escorted Long Fei up the mountain.
As they climbed, the Knight Captain asked Long Fei, "Are you truly unafraid of these gods? They possess the most power in the world."
Long Fei asked him, "You don’t look like human race?"
The Knight Captain raised his pointed ears under the brim of his hat, "I am from the Elf Tribe."
"No wonder."
Long Fei admired the bow and arrows on him, "Legend has it the Elf Tribe’s archery is unparalleled, and the rumors are true."
"My name is Caesar!"
The Knight Captain proactively announced his name, finding Long Fei, this Oriental, interesting.
Long Fei asked him, "I heard many elves are also enslaved by the Divine Clan, becoming their servants?"
Caesar solemnly replied, "Darkness descends upon the earth, shrouding the forest, no race can escape it."
Long Fei said, "That’s because you haven’t rebelled. On the Eastern land, people there are fighting against this darkness. They fight to the death for freedom."
"Freedom?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Caesar’s eyes, but he glanced at the mountain and the gleam quickly extinguished.
Below the mountain stood the enormous temple, all built by the human race for the divine spirits above.
Inside, offerings of various fruits, wreaths, and servants dedicated to cleaning the temple.
The temple was very tall, with marble columns reaching over a hundred meters.
Caesar looked at the temple and sighed to Long Fei, "You cannot defeat the divine spirits, they are giants, unbeatable."
Long Fei chuckled, "We have an Eastern saying that humans triumph over heaven, nothing is impossible, unless you give in to fear and make excuses for yourself."
"How could that be."
Caesar shook his head, still unbelieving.
They continued upward, passing through a rocky area.
Fog was enshrouding, and Yin Qi was heavy.
The knights nervously gripped their shields and spears, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
Suddenly, they heard wings flapping by their ears.
Caesar shouted, "Stay alert!"
He was the first to draw his bow and arrow, keeping his eyes and ears keenly fixed on movements around.
Soon, a long howl sounded.
A winged golden-haired lion descended in front of the knights.
It had a woman’s face, eerily blocking the road, and shouted gloomily, "Human race, what are you doing here?"
Caesar held up the long bow and confronted the creature, "We are ordered to escort the Princess up the mountain, we mean no harm."
The creature glanced at Helis and hissed darkly, "Woman, the High God will eventually die at a woman’s hand. Other than loving women, he has nothing else to do every day."
Caesar didn’t expect the creature to have the audacity to criticize the High God.
He cautiously requested, "Please clear a path, we need to pass."
The creature sneered, "Passing is easy, but you must answer my question. If you answer correctly, I will let you pass. If not, you will all die here."
"What question?"
Caesar’s face twitched slightly, clutching his bow tighter.
The creature asked, "What animal walks on four legs at birth, two legs when grown, and three legs in old age."
"What?"
Caesar’s mind raced quickly, exchanging glances with the knights beside him.
The knights shrugged, having never seen such an animal.
Helis raised her hand, "I know."
The creature looked at her, "Tell me."
Helis said, "It’s humans; they crawl on all fours as babies, walk on two legs as adults, and use a cane as a third leg when old."
"Very good, you are a smart woman."
The creature happily fluttered its wings, granting Helis passage, "You may pass, but the others must stay as my food."
It opened its mouth wide, revealing a scarlet tongue and sharp fangs, creating a violent whirlwind ahead.
