Chapter 1258 Demons Gather
This is a lonely space deep in the void.
The dark and deep sea of stars keeps flickering in the sky, and each beautiful and bright star represents a healthy and perfect plane world. It is only because of the distance that they have shrunk into a tiny and dim light spot on the dark sky.
However, in the eyes of those life forms who have stepped out of the plane for the first time, these twinkling stars look close at hand, as if they can reach out and reach out to grab them. In fact, this is just an illusion.
Even the star closest to them is probably billions of miles away. If those plane creatures are confused by the beauty of the stars and want to get closer, they will be shocked to find that even if they fly for ten or eight years, they can't get close to these stars.
Close at hand... The vastness and majesty of the starry world are not something that plane creatures can experience at all!
The void is not empty.
Most of the void looks empty on the surface, as if there is nothing inside. But only those who have experienced it can truly understand the true meaning of the void being non-empty. The void is not empty, but filled with undulating energy tides, which sometimes converge and sometimes disperse, forming a magnificent energy ocean spectacle.
It's just that ordinary plane creatures are not qualified to appreciate and get close to such a scene!
Under the erosion and grinding of the energy tide day and night, those substances that lack the protection of the energy system will be decomposed and restored to various tiny elemental particles that are difficult to detect with the naked eye, and then reintegrated into the void.
However, at this moment, there is a huge meteorite with a radius of about 100 meters rolling and drifting in the void. The surface of the meteorite and the ubiquitous energy tides intersect, splashing out dazzling sparks and steaming clouds.
The rolling and oscillating energy tides are like a greedy beast, constantly washing and grinding this huge meteorite, tearing off some gray-black powder from it from time to time, and throwing them into the depths of the void that are out of sight.
If nothing unexpected happens, this continental fragment that fell from a broken plane will be swallowed up by the void storm in three to five years, and not even the last residue will be left.
But at this moment, it has become a foothold for some strange life to live.
Wrapped in a hazy and pale deathly aura, the lich Congenus stood quietly on a relatively flat area on the surface of the giant rock. Under its feet, a small 5-meter square array was flashing and operating, transmitting some strange fluctuations that were difficult for outsiders to detect.
It has been waiting here for a year, and from the looks of it, it seems that it can wait forever indefinitely.
Of course, its waiting is not meaningless!
Finally, with the slight vibration of the energy tide, a tiny light spot in the dark sky got closer and closer, and slowly approached this foothold floating in the depths of the star sea.
After a moment, the fire cloud on the surface of the meteorite suddenly split apart, and a strange creature with a particularly strong and powerful physique broke in.
This is a strange creature that looks like a scorpion, 5 meters long, with a layer of light golden hard shell on the surface of its body.
Its body is divided into three sections: front, middle and back.
The trunk in the middle is the narrowest, and there are four pairs of sharp limbs shining with metallic luster around it. The head at the front is short and flexible, and a pair of huge and terrifying insect claws extend from both sides of the head. Behind it is also a terrifying scorpion tail with distinct joints, and the tail needle at the end is more than half a meter long and is pitch black, and there is a faint smell of unpleasant bitterness.
Coming from the void, its body surface supports a yellowish-brown light shield, protecting itself from the ubiquitous energy tide.
As soon as it broke in here, this strange scorpion flashed its dark green compound eyes and stared at the lich Conganus firmly. The latter did not seem surprised by its arrival, but instead 'communicated' in a slightly lazy tone.
"Sand King, you are here early! Those guys haven't arrived yet, you can rest here first!"
"Congenus, I hope you have invited some tough guys this time, otherwise... that ice dragon is not easy to deal with!" The 'Sand King' Scorpion also responded in the language of spirit.
"Don't worry, the ones invited this time are all selected strong men, there won't be any mistakes..." The lich Congenus shrank into a golden cross-like condensed soul fire through the two huge rubies, and the strength of his mental power was simply astonishing.
And as the initiator of this mission, it naturally has convincing authority.
Therefore, after hearing the lich's guarantee, the scorpion stopped talking, swayed its body to a corner of the meteorite, and crouched on the hard steel ground and began to close its eyes to recover.
Those who can cross the vast sea of stars and the void storm to come here are naturally not good people. Even this inconspicuous alien scorpion has a powerful force of level 4 in its body. With its powerful physical strength and strong shell, it will not lose much strength even if it travels thousands of miles in the void storm.
However, in this empty temporary place with nothing, it can't find anything else to do except close its eyes and rest!
The arrival of the alien scorpion is like a beginning. In the next six months, two powerful beings broke in one after another and after a brief exchange with the lich, they began to rest on the spot.
So far, this small meteorite, which is less than 100 meters in radius, has carried 4 powerful beings from different planes. They each occupy a corner, waiting silently, communicating silently, and seem to not care about the passage of time at all.
Finally, another two months passed, and no outsiders came. The first Scorpion King could no longer hold back.
"Hey, Conganus, is the person you called coming? If no one comes, we should discuss how to act next!"
"Don't worry, that person will definitely come! Moreover, his power is very helpful to our action this time, so..."
"Humph, he is so arrogant that he made me wait for him for so long... I must see which plane he is from later!"
"Hehe, look, just as I was talking... he is coming!"
As the sharp spiritual words of the lich Conganus echoed in this small space, a dazzling fire ignited in the void in the distance, and then in a huge roar, the fire flickered and was approaching here quickly.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the center of the meteorite was full of fire, and a strange human figure with a height of only 2 meters suddenly emerged. After a moment, the fire dissipated, and the figure of this strange visitor was seen clearly by everyone.
The last visitor turned out to be a human!
The visitor was wearing a strange black dragon skin soft armor, wrapped in a dark cloak, and the hood covered most of his face, revealing only a sharp white chin and two strands of dark red hair.
He was only 2 meters tall, neither fat nor thin.
Such a height might be considered a big guy among humans, but in this strange gathering, he became a real "little person".
Even the lich Congenus was nearly 3 meters tall, and the others were even bigger and stronger, with a daunting and majestic body.
This human wizard was leaning on a strange red wizard staff, with an ordinary magic orb inlaid on the top of the staff. And a thick book was hung on his waist with a silver chain. Looking at the gold and silver inlaid corners of the book, it seemed very convenient to use it to hit people.
The visitor's face was very young and handsome. However, those present were all old monsters who had experienced hundreds of years of hard work. Naturally, they would not judge him by his appearance and think that he was just a fledgling wizard.
When the lich Congenus saw the human wizard coming, the scarlet soul fire spun around him. When his "eyes" fell on the thick book beside him, the soul fire suddenly shrank and his mental power fluctuated.
Is it the Holy Book of Wisdom?
But this breath is not right! Could it be that this fire wizard has a second powerful book-type auxiliary wizard in his hand?
Any individual's own ability and personal equipment are part of his strength, and are also secrets that cannot be coveted or peeped by outsiders. So although the lich Congenus had some doubts, he could not investigate further in detail, and could only stand up and greet him as if he didn't care.
"You finally came!"
This young human wizard was naturally Grimm, who came thousands of miles after receiving the message. Among the many beings present, he only "knew" the lich Congenus, so he nodded and smiled: "My plane is a little far from here, and it takes a little longer on the road..."
"It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here... Time, hehe, what does it count for in the eyes of us "people"!"
While saying polite words, the lich Congenus quietly sensed the energy aura overflowing from Grimm.
My goodness, it's only been less than a hundred years, and this guy who didn't take it too seriously at the beginning has already leaped to the 4th level intermediate!
Such a terrifying promotion speed, even with the experience and knowledge of the lich Congenus, couldn't help but feel a little horrified.
Seeing that the always arrogant and cold lich also showed such "enthusiasm", the three first comers couldn't help but look at each other, and all of them focused their eyes on the human wizard who had just arrived.
"Hey, latecomer, I'm the Sand King, what's your name?" The hot-tempered and stubborn Scorpion King couldn't help but speak first.
Sand King is just the title of this Scorpion, and no one cares about its real name.
After all, everyone was just invited to complete a mission, and they didn't trust each other, let alone reveal all their privacy.
