Chapter 292 Thunder King
Black clouds, strong winds and torrential rain enveloped the entire land, and there were streaks of lightning in the sky, accompanied by rumbling thunder, cutting through the hazy night.
The wild beasts kept by the tribe began to howl one by one, the sound became louder and louder, and finally became a harmony, making a huge noise.
Then, through the night, a screeching sound... not a howl, but a Native American hunting horn, signaling danger.
All the sleeping Indians came out of the room and gathered towards the Pyramid Square.
Lightning tore through the sky again, and for a moment, the night was as bright as day, and everyone could clearly see the Thunderbird in mid-air, and...
Two wizards on the back of a bird!
Under the command of the two wizards, lightning struck the altar at the top of the pyramid, and rubble continued to fall from the rock wall.
"Damn it, it's these guys again!"
"Go away, stranger!"
"You are not welcome here!!"
"Grass mud horse!!"
The Indians yelled into the air, and the air was filled with all kinds of curses and insults.
The wizards riding on the Thunderbird's back didn't change their expressions, not because they were in a good mood, but because... they didn't understand.
The crowd also flew out stone spears and shot towards the Thunderbird. More stone spears followed immediately, but before they got close, they were shot down by lightning.
Dana looked around anxiously, with an arm on her shoulder, the girl turned her head to look, and said with a sigh of relief:
"Rove, as long as you're fine! Why are you alone, Margaery?"
"She... has something to do." Rove looked up at the Thunderbird and the wizard riding on it. Although he already had a guess in his heart, he still asked:
"Who are they? What are they doing?"
"We don't know these attackers either." Dana explained with a pale face:
"They came to our tribe half a year ago and asked us for... the eggs of the Feathered Serpent God."
"The patriarch rejected them, so they brought Thunderbirds to attack us. After being beaten back, they didn't show up for a long time. I didn't expect to come again today."
Rove nodded slightly. It seemed that Creeper, the inner ghost, was cooperating with the two of them to steal the Feathered Serpent egg stored on the altar at the top of the pyramid.
"Do you really have Feathered Serpent eggs?" Rove was curious.
Dana hesitated for a moment, she sighed, and said in a low voice: "Our tribe has worshiped that egg for centuries, but it is just a fossil...a dead egg."
"Is it just a fossil?" Rove was a little disappointed, he thought it could really hatch.
You know...the Feathered Serpent God is a legendary magical animal that has been extinct for a long time. If it can hatch, it will be no less than Muggles resurrecting dinosaurs.
But if it's just a fossil, the value will be greatly reduced.
Wait... If it's just a fossil, there's no need for these two wizards to go to such lengths to snatch it, and they even bribed an insider to poison it?
At this moment, a man as thin as a bamboo pole came over. His thick black beard grew almost from his chin to his waist, making his shoehorn face look longer.
The man was carrying a large wooden bucket in his hand. Dana took a deep breath, took out a small knife, and cut a gash in his arm. Blood gushed out and fell into the bucket.
The tall man ignored Rove and walked towards the next tribe, and soon the blood of all the Indians in the square fell into the barrel.
The man walked up to the patriarch again, a thin, wrinkled old man with a completely bald head and a chain of various metals hanging loosely around his throat.
Rove looked up, and the old man suddenly took out an egg from his bosom. It was the most beautiful thing the boy had ever seen, and the pattern was so rich that he thought it was covered with precious stones.
I saw the old man put the fossil egg into the wooden barrel.
Rove stared at the egg intently. It drank blood hungrily as if it was alive, and it quickly turned dark red under the young man's gaze.
Dana, whose face was getting paler, asked worriedly, "I don't know if it's enough?"
Rove looked at the girl suspiciously.
"All our people who donate blood will sacrifice part of their lives to the Feathered Serpent God. The more life it absorbs, the stronger the power it bestows on the egg holder." Dana explained in a low voice.
"But many clansmen were injured, and they couldn't come here to offer sacrifices."
Luo Fu suddenly realized, no wonder the other party wants to poison, it turned out to be doing this!
At this time, the wizard in the sky also noticed the egg in the old man's hand... The egg was hidden in the pyramid altar before, but it had already been transferred.
They have just attacked for a long time, and they are doing useless work!
Lightning tore through the night sky and struck the old man swiftly and violently.
Rove quickly raised his wand and shouted, "Armor protection!"
But his Iron Armor Curse obviously couldn't stop the power of the lightning. The lightning fell to the ground and exploded brilliantly, like a pool of water that burst and spread out.
The old man was struck by lightning, the smell of burnt meat overwhelmed the aroma, and his howl was drowned in the electric current.
Just when Rove thought that the old man had been electrocuted, he didn't fall to the ground. Instead, he held the egg in his hand and began to sing in a high-pitched and shrill voice.
At this moment, the faces of all the Indians turned pale, part of their lives had already been sacrificed.
Suddenly Rove heard a crack, and saw a cloud of flames gushing out of the egg, engulfing the old man, and his singing became louder and sharper.
The flames on the old man sometimes circled, sometimes twisted, chasing each other, and soon climbed up the pyramid.
The air also seemed to be liquefied by the heat, shining brightly in the night.
The old man held up the Feathered Serpent's egg, he opened his mouth, and spit out a long tongue of fire, the flames licked towards Thunderbird's belly.
The thunderbird screamed and was almost cooked.
Rove stared at the egg intently, it was so powerful... What the hell is this egg? !
Under the old man's attack, the flames soared high, flapping its huge and fiery wings, forcing the thunderbird to retreat steadily.
The two wizards pulled the chain on Thunderbird's body, controlling it to dodge backwards.
In the square, all the Indians cheered and jumped for joy, but the excited shouts... came to an abrupt end.
The old man suddenly fell to the ground.
he died!
As the old man fell to the ground, the egg of the Feathered Serpent God also fell to the ground and rolled on the ground.
The cheers turned into screams in an instant, and the square immediately fell into chaos.
It all happened so fast, everyone was screaming, stumbling and pushing each other, and some were crying and rushing towards their leader.
Thunderbird also flew towards the crowd suddenly, but its goal was the Feathered Serpent's egg.
In the chaos, Dana was the closest, and she snatched the egg.
"Rove!"
Dana tossed it high, and the egg fell into the boy's hands, and his whole body was quickly wrapped in flames.
So hot,
I really want to...
Run naked.
