Dragon of the Root

Chapter 1024: Black Mud Rain

"Lord Dragon Sage definitely wants to use this to find us," Said Benkei.

It can only be said that it is the existence of a new army battle, not only Benkei, but Ushiwakamaru also understands Wu Ming's intentions.

"The Dragon Sage's approach is indeed correct. If it weren't for this, we probably wouldn't have been able to find a way out."

Looking at Ushiwakamaru eyes, a slit-like place appeared before everyone's eyes, which was different from other places where light came from this rift.

They were indeed trapped, but Ishtar's Noble Phantasm made a gap in the black mud.

Wu Ming's approach not only allowed everyone to escape from danger, but also told Wu Ming their location. It was like killing two birds with one stone, even Ishtar could only hold her discontent in her heart.

It was precisely because Wu Ming's approach was "correct" that Ishtar, who didn't take the truth into account, had no way of going to Wu Ming to bother her later.

Even though she was Ishtar who had suffered a lot at Wu Ming's hands, she understood one thing.

If Ishtar had gone to Wu Ming to look for trouble, she could have saved face. If she didn't go to Wu Ming to look for trouble, she would definitely be harmed by Wu Ming, just like when she entered the underworld.

"Let's go quickly." Gudako suggested this time.

If something unexpected happened later, it would be troublesome.

But sometimes that's where the problem comes from.

Suddenly the entire space began to vibrate, whether it was the sky, the ocean, or the "wall" connecting the sky and the sea, everything began to fall with black matter.

And the sharp-eyed Quetzalcoatl immediately saw that the black substance was black mud.

Quetzalcoatl immediately gave orders to the pterosaurs.

"Fast!! Pterosaurs, going there at full speed!"

Several pterosaurs flew towards the gap, and the speed made Gudako have to hold on to the pterosaur's back firmly.

But the black mud fell faster and faster, and gradually, the entire space seemed to be raining down on the black mud.

These "raindrops" are the size of a fist, but fortunately, the distance between "raindrops" and "raindrops" is large, and has not yet reached the level of heavy rain, so that everyone can continue to fly over the pterosaurs.

But because of the pterosaurs jumping up and down, swaying left and right to avoid the rain of black mud, Gudako could barely hold on, but fortunately there was Mashu beside Gudako to help not let Gudako fall and not let her get hit by the black mud.

But everyone could see that these "raindrops" were getting bigger and denser.

At this time, the pterosaur was still halfway to the exit.

"Everyone, don't get caught in this black mud!!" Even though everyone knew that they couldn't touch the black mud, Quetzalcoatl couldn't help but say something.

But now that the volume of "raindrops" and the frequency of falling black mud rain has increased, it is too difficult to avoid polluting the black mud.

The first one came unexpectedly.

"Gah-!!"

The pterosaur that Ushiwakamaru and Benkei were riding on was dripped by a drop of black mud, and screamed.

After that, the whole pterosaur flew out of control, and even collided with a few drops of "rain".

"Ushiwakamaru-sama!?"

"Benkei leave me alone!?"

Ushiwakamaru and Benkei's panicked voices came from the pterosaurs.

"Ushiwakamaru!? Benkei!?" Mashu shouted nervously.

"Huh-!!" Suddenly countless petals flew at the pterosaurs Ushiwakamaru and Benkei. The pterosaurs seemed to have frozen over, but they became silent, and the "rain" that fell from the sky seemed to converge. Some resistance, and it was blocked from where this petal.

The next second, Merlin flew with the pterosaur, and Benkei and Ushiwakamaru also took the opportunity to jump on Merlin's pterosaur.

"Piedra Del Sol-!"

Quetzalcoatl frees the true name of the Noble Phantasm from the Stone of the Solar Calendar originally located in the Temple of Eridu.

Even though the city of Eridu was submerged by the sea of black mud, the stone of the solar calendar, as the Noble Phantasm Quetzalcoatl, had been summoned to its side long before the city of Eridu sank.

As for the size, however, it was a Noble Phantasm Quetzalcoatl and could be changed at will.

Flames and magma emerged from the fiery red rock in Quetzalcoatl's hand, forming a semicircular protective shield, which was raised above his head.

"Everyone come to my side!?"

The shield of fire and magma held back a large area of "rainwater" above Quetzalcoatl's head, and its range was wide enough to protect others.

The pterosaurs under Gudako and the others immediately flew over here,

Everyone immediately flew towards the gap non-stop.

After all, it's better to leave early.

And the pterosaurs contaminated by the "rain" fell into the darkness below like death.

Once safe, Benkei took the lead to inquire about Ushiwakamaru's safety.

"Ushiwakamaru-sama, are you okay!?"

Ushiwakamaru half knelt on the back of the pterosaur and shook his head, indicating that she was fine.

"Benkei, it really is thanks to you this time."

Ushiwakamaru knew that she was almost stained by the black mud just now.

Even if it's just a little bit of black mud, who knows what the black mud erosion process is like, is it instant assimilation? Or need time? No one knows, and no one will try.

"What are you talking about, Ushiwakamaru-sama, as long as you are fine." Benkei who was also half kneeling behind the pterosaur, lowered his head silently, looking like he was dead.

This surprised Ushiwakamaru, and likewise, Gudako and Mashu on the back of the pterosaur were also surprised.

"Benkei!?"

"Benkei!?"

Quetzalcoatl who was using Noble Phantasm, and Ishtar who was lying down, didn't have time to care, but Merlin, who was riding a pterosaur with Benkei and Ushiwakamaru, seemed to notice what was happening, and narrowed his eyes.

Immediately after, Benkei let out a sound from his lowered head.

"Ushiwakamaru-sama, I have something to ask you"

Ushiwakamaru breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Benkei's voice.

"What is it?"

As long as Benkei didn't die, he could talk about anything.

"May I ask you to die?"

After Benkei finished speaking, he immediately got up and slashed at Ushiwakamaru with the Naginata in his hand.

"What?!"

Gudako and Mashu opened their eyes wide to see this scene, they couldn't react at all, not only them, even Ushiwakamaru didn't react.

After all, Ushiwakamaru never imagined that Benkei would kill her. This was not dereliction of duty as a general fighting on the battlefield, but a natural way to lower his guard against those close to it.

But the attack was blocked.

"Clanks!!"

The holy sword that looked like a real product blocked the sharp Naginata, and let out a loud sound.

Naturally Merlin was beside Ushiwakamaru who blocked the attack, he had just discovered that there was a problem with Benkei.

"Sure enough, have you assimilated into the black mud?"
