Chapter 769: The Infiltrators

While the Spirit race and the Undead Demon Army were fighting, two dark shadows were hiding in a gloomy corner, their eyes staring fixedly at the battlefield.

"Nuote, is this the combat power of the Spirit race? This is truly astonishing," one of the men said with a look of amazement.

They could be said to understand better than anyone just how powerful the Undead Legion was; they were fearless, never retreated, and in their eyes, the only fate for enemies blocking their path was destruction. They had also sparred with these Undead Demon Armies before, but the final result was always a crushing defeat.

But what were they seeing now? An enlarged version of the Elf Array, shrouding the entire Morning Light Forest, was suppressing the power of the Undead Demon Army. The Spirit Summoners' endless stream of elemental summons formed the first line of defense, orderly resisting the Undead Demon Army's offensive. Even if an undead broke through the line of elemental summons, they were met with the most powerful attacks from the Spirit Warriors. The Spirit Warriors in the front row formed battle formations, and every strike was a heavy blow to the Undead Army.

When the Undead Demon Army attacked, it was extremely aggressive and overbearing, but in front of the Spirit race's defensive line, they were forced to a dead stop. Coupled with the fact that many powerful individuals among the Spirit race struck simultaneously to block the powerful undead within the Undead Demon Army, preventing them from causing massive destruction to the front line, this was the reason the Spirit defensive line was able to hold its ground.

"Alright, alright, don't watch here anymore. Have you forgotten our mission?" Nuote pulled his companion beside him and reminded him in a low voice.

"I naturally wouldn't forget the mission, but you've seen it too—the power of this Elf Array is so terrifying. With our strength, can we successfully sneak in?" Diersi's tone held a hint of doubt.

Diersi was born with intuition that surpassed others, and right now, his intuition kept telling him that it was very dangerous ahead. He even felt that while hiding in this place, there seemed to be an eye in the dark watching the two of them.

"I say, Diersi, have you forgotten that we have the powerful magic item left to us by our ancestor? With that magic item, we can transform our soul aura into the soul aura of the Spirit race. As long as we are careful, there won't be any big problems," Nuote comforted him. "Alright, we don't have much time left, let's move quickly. I really miss those pretty girls in the tavern right now!"

Hearing Nuote say this, Diersi helplessly shook his head, then gently pressed his right hand against the ring on his finger. Circles of emerald-green light spread out from the ring, enveloping the two of them. After being shrouded in the light, the two's soul auras also underwent a strange change, becoming almost identical to the Spirit race.

"Let's go!" Nuote nodded at Diersi, and then the two concealed their figures and quietly darted toward the direction of the Elf Array.

It seemed the magic item on them worked, as the Elf Array did not launch an attack on the two, instead letting them quietly enter the Elf Kingdom.

"Quick, quick, quick, this thing of ours has a time limit," after entering the Elf Kingdom, the warning signs in Diersi's heart kept echoing, almost as if urging him to leave this place immediately.

"Alright, alright, I know," Nuote's tone held a hint of perfunctoriness, but his pace quickened.

Relying on the concealment Array on them and the influence of the Undead Demon Army's attack outside, the two of them actually quietly snuck to the outskirts of the Eternal Ancient Tree.

However, looking at the Eternal Ancient Tree in front of them, the two of them were troubled. On the outskirts of the Eternal Ancient Tree, there were actually layers upon layers of powerful Natural Arrays. And these Natural Arrays, they could not break, nor could they afford to break; after all, once they moved against these arrays, it would absolutely attract the attention of the Spirit race, and by then, even if they had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough for the Spirit race to kill.

"No wonder there was no requirement for us to get close to the Eternal Ancient Tree; it turns out this problem was already considered," Diersi said. "Then let's do it!"

Noer nodded, flipped his hand, and a round bead appeared in his hand. In the center of this bead was churning Demon Qi. And this Demon Qi had clearly been compressed many times over; if this Demon Qi truly invaded the Eternal Ancient Tree, it would absolutely be able to cause massive impact to the Eternal Ancient Tree.

Nuote didn't say anything more; his right hand shook violently, and the bead in his hand turned into a stream of light and darted toward the Eternal Ancient Tree. During its flight, fine, dense cracks appeared on the bead, and the Demon Qi inside the bead surged madly, with the possibility of erupting at any moment.

Just at this juncture, a streak of emerald-green light suddenly darted out from the Eternal Ancient Tree and enveloped that bead. And the moment this light appeared, the sense of crisis in Diersi's heart suddenly rose to its peak.

"Run!" Too late to check what had become of the bead enveloped by the light, Diersi turned his body, raised his power to the limit, and dragged Nuote away.

"Is this the means of that black hand in the dark?" A figure shrouded in light emerged from the Void; in her hand was exactly the bead Nuote had thrown earlier. "Demon Qi, it really is this kind of method. If I weren't here, I'm afraid the other party could really have succeeded! However, do you think you can really escape?"

"Whoosh—"

Streaks of emerald-green light ribbons shot out from the figure, coiling toward Nuote and the other.

"Soul Burst!"

By now, Diersi could no longer care about hiding so much; even if the other party controlled that bead, it must have consumed massive power, and now was the best time for the two of them to escape.

"Soul Magic? A petty trick!" The figure stood motionless, directly enduring Diersi's full-force Soul Burst, while at the same time, the light ribbons she released sped up by a few notches.

"How could this be?" Diersi's eyes were full of horror.

Diersi's Soul Burst was an extremely powerful Soul Magic. Even that ancestor hiding in the cave praised that if this move were not faced by a Goddess, no matter who endured it head-on, they would be unable to handle it. But now, that figure actually endured his full-force Soul Burst head-on without any effect, which meant the other party was highly likely a Goddess! Thinking of this, Diersi's heart sank suddenly.

Soon, the green light ribbons caught up to the two, easily wrapping them into a zongzi. Although Diersi and his companion struggled desperately, facing a Goddess, their struggles were clearly powerless; in just a few breaths' time, these two zongzi calmed down.

"With these two guys here, it should be much easier for Lingyun to find that mastermind behind the scenes," the figure looked at the two zongzi in front of her, her tone holding a hint of triumph.

"I think the main body would think so too!"

Just at this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadows.

Seeing this figure, the Goddess had a hint of surprise in her tone: "Why are you here?"

"The main body said this attack on the Elf Kingdom by the Undead Demon Army was a bit suspicious, so he let me guard here. I saw you displaying your Divine Might earlier, so I didn't make a move," the Lingyun clone looked at the Goddess and said with a grin.

"Then these two are handed over to you." The Goddess waved her hand, and the two people wrapped into zongzi floated toward the Lingyun clone.

The Lingyun clone caught these two zongzi and disappeared into the shadows with them.
