Chapter 449 Li Si’s back-up plan
The elven royal court in the sea of ??blood,
??Cecile''s eyes were closed tightly, but her expression was frightened and her brows were trembling constantly, as if she was immersed in an unimaginable horrific nightmare.
?When he saw Cecile, Li Si''s heart was still a little fluttering, and the scenes in the fantasy appeared in front of him again.
?Ms. Ariana
??Li Si sighed and cut open the disgusting sarcoma on Cecile''s body with a flash of sword light. He gently hugged Cecile''s thin body and separated it from the blood and sarcoma.
“Cecile, wake up!”
??Li Si held Cecile in his arms, jumped to a relatively clean place, gently shook Cecile''s body and said.
?But no matter how Li Si shouted, Cecile did not wake up and could not break away from the nightmare she had been immersed in for a long time.
??Li Si even used the purification spell, but it still had no effect.
“Is this the illusion created by Demogorgon’s power?”
“It seems that apart from relying on one’s own will to escape from the illusion, it is difficult for others to help.”
??Li Si thought briefly for a moment and then understood Cecile''s current situation.
?With his current strength, it is still too difficult to fight against Demogorgon. Now it seems that he can only rely on Cecil''s own will.
but
??Li Si looked at the surrounding city that was filled with blood and strange carrion. This environment was still too dangerous.
Even if there seems to be no threat now, no one knows what will happen if it continues.
In the previous life, when the Elf Kingdom discovered the fact that the Elf Royal Court had been destroyed, there was no such horrific blood and sarcoma at the scene.
??Li Si hugged Cecile, and after clearing the direction, he rushed towards the nearest city wall.
What he can do now is to leave the Elven Court as much as possible, bring Cecil to a safe place, and then consider other things.
??The entire Elf Court is quite large, and Li Si and others are on the edge of the Elf Court and have not gone deep into the city.
Hence, the distance from the Elven King''s Court wall is not too far.
Not long after, Li Si passed through the Elf King''s Court in the sea of ????blood and arrived at the place where the city wall was.
When he stepped onto the city wall, Li Si looked at the scene outside the Elven King''s Court and couldn''t help but take a breath.
Outside the city of the Elf King''s Court, the vast sea of ????trees that was once vibrant and green with ancient elven trees has now been reduced to a horrific scene in the sea of ????blood, turning into the heaviest and most evil lament, with a thick **** mist shrouding this land. Above, it can only make everything more eerie and terrifying.
?Those ancient elven trees that have witnessed countless changes over the years and protected countless creatures have now lost their former splendor and tranquility.
The branches and leaves are no longer green, but have all withered under the erosion of the sea of ??blood. Only the bare branches are left, swaying feebly in the dark red waves, as if they are the last struggle in despair.
?Those once upright and solemn guardians of the Elven Court are now covered in a layer of ominous dark red. This is not only stained by blood, but also traces of erosion by the power of the abyss.
?Every crack on the tree trunk was twisted and ferocious, as if it had been torn apart by invisible claws, or like a twisted wail of pain from the inside out.
From these cracks, wisps of black smoke and evil breath escape from time to time. They swirl and interweave in the air, forming invisible nets that shroud the entire sea of ??trees in an indescribable oppression and terror.
The sea of ??blood is rolling, and there seem to be deeper secrets and fears hidden in the waves. Occasionally, there is a low and strange sound, echoing the abyssal atmosphere emanating from the ancient trees, making the whole scene seem even more strange and ominous.
In this cursed sea of ??trees, whether it is the powerful ancient tree of war, the mysterious ancient tree of wisdom, or the ancient tree of life full of vitality, they all stand quietly like bodies deprived of their souls, and the breeze blows. , but can no longer play a pleasant story.
?The creatures that once ran freely and laughed on this land have long since disappeared, leaving only silence and despair.
??If this is all, Li Si has noticed that these ancient elven trees that have been completely eroded by the sea of ??blood in the abyss have almost completely transformed into another evil existence.
Fallen Abyss Blood Tree!
??Li Si finally knew why no monsters were found in the Elf King''s Court.
The first is to not affect Demogorgon’s subsequent abyss sacrifice ceremony.
On the other hand, it should be the reason for these abyss blood trees outside the city.
This is a special existence that first appeared in the **** battle of the abyss. When the elves used the ancient elf tree as their trump card to kill demons crazily on the battlefield of the **** battle, the ancient elf tree was completely infected by the breath of the abyss. .
At that time, the elves knew that the ancient elven trees, which were rich in life force, were very easily corroded by the abyss breath that represented evil and corruption. If they were not purified in time, they would easily be corrupted into abyss monsters.
Because that was the first time that the ancient elf tree appeared on the battlefield to resist the invasion of the abyss demons, so the existence of the abyss blood tree was only known to everyone from that time.
?Now, Li Si saw such a terrifying number of abyss blood trees outside the Elven King’s Court.
??If Li Si was shocked when he came to the Elf King''s Court and saw the forest composed of ancient elven trees for the first time, then he felt horrified now.
“Tsk, it’s troublesome.”
He does not have the strength now to lead Cecile through the sea of ????blood composed of blood trees in the abyss.
??Li Si used magic power to clear a clean area on the city wall under his feet, and carefully let Cecile lean against the wall beside him.
Casting the strongest protective magic to protect Cecile, Lis then stood up, firmly remembering his current position.
??The only thing we can do is give it a try!
??After Li Si made up his mind, his figure suddenly disappeared from the place like a shadow.
At the same time, when Li Si disappeared.
The Elf King''s Court, the golden tower where the Elisir family is located,
Different from other places in the Elf King''s Court, there is absolutely no flesh and blood on this golden tower, and it is even a bit brighter and dazzling than before.
?The entire golden pagoda has completely lost the breath of any living people, and it is extremely quiet and even a bit strange.
In the high room, Pompeii Elisir sat quietly on the armchair, his eyes closed and his expression calm.
"Um?"
Pompeii opened his eyes and looked out the window at a place on the edge of the Elven Court.
“Have you left?”
“I didn’t expect that he would be able to break free from the influence of the illusion. I have a headache.”
Pompeii murmured to himself in a calm tone.
??Although most of his energy is currently focused on controlling the blood sacrifice ceremony of the entire Elf Royal Court, it is not impossible to kill Li Si.
It just doesn’t make any sense.
He has seen through Li Si''s current state. Killing Li Si will have no effect at all. It may even let his true body know what is happening in the Elf King''s Court in advance.
?This is why, when Pompey realized that something was wrong with Li Si, he did not take action directly, but let it go and even secretly guided Li Si to immerse himself deeper in the illusion.
“Really, isn’t the fantasy I built beautiful enough?”
“What are you doing in a hurry to leave?”
Pompeii shook his head helplessly, with a gentle smile on his face.
Countless years have passed since he became the Evil God of the Abyss and climbed to the top step by step. As an outlier among the abyss lords, he still advances his plans in the most calm and cold state. Even if he can kill the elf named Cecil now, what''s the point?
It is better to proceed with the ritual as much as possible and achieve his final goal before the elves and gods react.
?Pompeii looked at the center of the Elf King''s Court, where the World Tree Altar is located.
“Hurry, the passage will be opened soon!”
“Only the last bit left.”
Outside the Elf King’s Court, somewhere in the Elf Forest a hundred kilometers away,
?Angela was sitting on a tall tree, kicking her fair and graceful legs under the **** skirt in boredom.
She and Li Si have been separated for a few days, and she followed the arrangement and stayed here to wait for Li Si to come back.
? Angela tilted her head and thought for a while, but still resisted the desire in her heart, and carefully took out a strawberry cake from the storage ring.
?Fresh ruddy strawberries are dotted on a cake made of pink jam, white butter and white bread, which is very cute and attractive.
“This is the last strawberry cake. Do you want to eat it now?”
Angela''s little head has a headache. These strawberry cakes are her favorite snack, and they were specially prepared for her by Li Si before leaving.
?But now there is only the last one left.
“Let’s wait and eat again!”
Angela thought for a while and said to herself.
Wiping the pink jam from the corner of her mouth, the girl took out the mango cake from the storage ring.
“Aww~ The mango cake is delicious too!”
“The cake is almost finished. It’s so boring. Why doesn’t Li Si wake up?”
Just below Angela as she entertained herself.
Beside the giant tree, there was a man lying quietly on the clean green grass. His body was completely protected by a pale white magic shield.
??Li Si opened his eyes. The avatar formed by the special skill [Mirror Body] completely dissipated, and all the memories possessed by the avatar returned to his body.
??Yes, the one that appeared in the Elf Court before was the incarnation generated by Li Si using [Mirror Body].
??When he was about to return to the Elven Court, Li Si found an excuse to leave the team and took the opportunity to use the [Mirror Body] skill to have his clone return to the team instead of him.
Because the [Mirror Body] skill is very realistic, forming a clone this time consumed all of Li Si''s magic power. In addition, Li Si put all his energy and thinking into the clone, so this clone can be maintained for a long time. And it will not be discovered by other people in the elf team.
??Angela was also arranged by Li Si in advance and waited in a safe place outside the Elven King''s Court.
??This is so that when Li Si devotes himself wholeheartedly to his clone, he will not be affected by external factors.
??This is Li Si''s plan. He has long known that the Elf King''s Court is about to be in danger of destruction. It is very dangerous to go there in person at this time.
Even if he is not careful, Teacher Stephens will not be able to save him.
It is very safe to let the [Mirror Body] clone follow the elf team to the Elf King''s Court. No matter what happens, Li Si can dissipate the clone at any time and withdraw attention without affecting him.
?However, Li Si did not expect that the entire Elf Royal Court had been destroyed by Demogorgon, and that he himself was also immersed in it due to the influence of the clone.
If you cannot realize this, it is impossible to wake up.
“It’s really scary”
??Li Si dissipated the protective magic around his body and stood up.
??Demogorgon''s method completely exceeded his guess. He never expected that Demogorgon would build a huge illusion and immerse the entire elf city in it.
??Li Si very much suspected that the bodies of the elves living in the Elf King''s Court were completely dead and destroyed, but their souls were likely to remain in that huge illusion.
If this were not the case, then the behavior of Cecile’s mother, Ariana, would be unexplainable.
Is that also part of the ceremony?
How exactly is it done?
??Li Si''s face was extremely ugly. The current situation was quite bad, and he didn''t know where to start for a while.
“Li Si, you’re awake!”
Angela jumped down from the tree, transformed into a little bat and lay on Li Si''s head and asked:
“Why did you sleep for so long?”
“Same as Lord Burns!”
“Angela, did I sleep too much?”
?Li Si touched the little white bat and asked softly:
“Counting from the time your clone left, I have been sleeping for three days!”
?Angela waved her little paw and said seriously.
“Only three days?”
?Li Si spent two or three months in the illusion, so does the speed of time in the illusion differ from that in reality?
?Unable to care about these things, Li Si got up and prepared to return to the Elf King''s Court.
But in an instant, he stopped.
"no!"
?Li Si suddenly remembered something, and that was Pompeii Elisir, who was probably the incarnation of Demogorgon.
?All of this is probably like Pompeii''s secret planning. Otherwise, how could so many legends of the Elf King''s Court disappear without a trace?
The crushing strength is only part of it, and it is more likely that the backstab from the inside can achieve this.
As the city lord of the Elf Royal Court and the patriarch of the Elisir family, Pompeii can naturally gain the unconditional trust of the Elf legends, not to mention the fact that the entire Elf Royal Court is under covert threat.
??Li Si suspected that Pompeii, that is, Demogorgon, had seen through the true situation of the avatar, so he designed it in the illusion to make the avatar continue to sink in the illusion.
?Only in this way can his true body be destroyed and the abnormality in the Elf King''s Court be unable to be spread.
Lee Si now has two options.
The first option is to stay where you are, wait for the end of Demogorgon''s plan, and take the opportunity to take the [World Tree Sprouts];
?The second option is to reveal Demogorgon''s plan and let the elven gods face Demogorgon, so that he can rescue Cecil.
But if he chooses the second one, Li Si will most likely miss out on the [World Tree Sprouts].
Even the elves and gods would not give up a treasure of the level of [World Tree Sprouts].
??But I think of Cecile, the shyness and expectation of the elf girl in the fantasy world, and Ariana’s last request.
“Fuck your xxxx demon prince!”
??Li Si stood there and adjusted his breathing, put his hands into fists on his chest and prayed:
“O High Corellon, Great Creator, Guardian, and Ruler of the Elves”
