Chapter 292: Fireballs Everywhere
Chapter 292: Fireballs Everywhere
"Kalis, searching for the Beast King like this isn't a solution," Zhou Yuan thought to himself, "There are almost a hundred caves here."
"I know." Carlisle was also getting anxious. "Zhou Yuan, can we really get back alive?"
"It definitely will, believe me."
"What do we do now?" Now it was Kalis's turn to be at a loss. She couldn't find the Beast King, and she didn't have any good ideas.
"Let's go out first."
"Out of the cave?"
"Yes."
"What about the Beast King?"
"I have a way, trust me."
"it is good."
The Golden Spirit Eagle circled twice before rapidly flying towards the cave entrance. This time, however, the Golden Spirit Eagle wasn't so lucky.
Just as Kalis hugged Zhou Yuan tightly from behind, she heard the Golden Spirit Eagle let out a miserable cry. Zhou Yuan stared intently and saw that the cave entrance was blocked by a pile of ferocious beasts! One beast leaped up and bit one of the Golden Spirit Eagle's wings, while another beast leaped up and bit the Golden Spirit Eagle's other wing. The Golden Spirit Eagle let out another cry.
"Open the cave entrance and let's hack and slash to our hearts' content." After saying that, Kalis released Zhou Yuan and jumped down to the side. When Kalis released him, Zhou Yuan knew something was wrong and quickly jumped down as well.
Zhou Yuan and Kalis, each with a sword, stabbed the two beasts hanging on the wings of the Golden Spirit Eagle to death. The Golden Spirit Eagle struggled to take flight and slowly circled in the air.
Zhou Yuan and Carlisle stood back to back. Zhou Yuan slaughtered the beasts blocking the cave entrance, while Carlisle hacked away at the beasts that rushed to fill the gaps at the entrance.
“Carliss, this won’t do. We need to bring the eagle among us.”
"Understood." After saying that, Kalis charged into the cave to intercept them. At the same time, the golden eagle took advantage of the opening at the cave entrance and darted into the cave. Kalis retreated and guarded the cave entrance.
When Zhou Yuan heard the Golden Spirit Eagle's wings flapping as it entered, he knew it had come in, so he shouted, "Kalis, follow the eagle. Once you're out of the cave, immediately follow me."
"it is good."
Zhou Yuan moved back and forth quickly, killing all the beasts inside the cave. When he reached the cave exit, he circled around and killed them again, clearing a space. The Golden Spirit Eagle emerged from the cave, flapped its wings, soared into the sky, and let out a screech as it circled above the cave entrance.
Carlis also emerged from the cave and fought Zhou Yuan for ten minutes before leaping into the air and landing directly on the back of the Golden Spirit Eagle.
“Carliss, let’s go to that little hill.” Zhou Yuan pointed to a small hill about nine hundred meters east of the cave entrance, where there were no wild beasts.
"it is good."
With a long cry, the Golden Spirit Eagle carried the two of them swiftly towards the small hill. They arrived quickly and the Golden Spirit Eagle slowly descended. Kalis and Zhou Yuan jumped down and stood on the hillside.
"Carliss, have the Golden Spirit Eagle come down and spread its wings. I need to heal its wounds."
Carliss turned to face Zhou Yuan, seemingly not quite believing him. Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, "Carliss, trust me."
The two retreated more than ten steps, and the Golden Spirit Eagle slowly descended, its wings still spread.
Zhou Yuan took to the air and hovered near the injured part of the Golden Spirit's wing. He then pressed his right hand against the injured area. To Caris's surprise, the Golden Spirit Eagle's wound was slowly healing. Zhou Yuan then flew to the other side of the Golden Spirit Eagle and healed the wound on the other wing in the same way.
The Golden Spirit Eagle nuzzled Zhou Yuan's face with its beak, then flapped its wings and flew upwards, circling above the heads of Kalis and Zhou Yuan.
"Zhou Yuan, thank you."
"Kalis, let Jinling come down. I need to block up those cave entrances."
Kalis didn't know what Zhou Yuan meant, but she still summoned the Golden Spirit Eagle. A moment later, the Golden Spirit Eagle folded its wings and landed beside the two of them.
Zhou Yuan glanced at the half-sun on the mountainside, estimating that it would be completely dark in an hour. He turned slightly to face southeast, his eyes fixed on the southeastern sky.
Kalis simply stood beside Zhou Yuan, holding his left hand with her right. Zhou Yuan smiled at Kalis, then closed his eyes. A minute later, Zhou Yuan gestured for Kalis to release his left hand, and Kalis let go.
Zhou Yuan closed his eyes again, then opened them, staring straight at the southeast sky. Suddenly, he reached out with both hands and grabbed.
Carlis seemed to understand and was overjoyed. Zhou Yuan withdrew his hand and took Carlis's right hand with his left hand. Carlis also held Zhou Yuan's hand tightly.
Soon, many stars appeared in the southeastern sky, followed by a hundred huge fireballs that shone brightly in the sky, and then countless small fireballs.
The Golden Spirit Eagle seemed startled by the scene and nudged Carlisle's body with its long beak. Carlisle pulled her hand away and placed it on the Golden Spirit Eagle's beak. The Golden Spirit Eagle actually nodded, and Carlisle turned around.
One hundred enormous fireballs hurtled diagonally toward the entrances of one hundred caves, erupting in a series of flashes of light and a continuous barrage of bangs that shook the earth. These one hundred fireballs struck with astonishing accuracy and force, directly impacting the cave entrances above, causing the mountainside above to tilt and collapse, effectively sealing the entrances, and sending pebbles tumbling down.
The countless small fireballs slammed into the beasts outside the cave, and one by one they fell. Soon the smell of burning corpses reached the hillside, and Kalis couldn't help but cover her nose.
Kalis noticed that in the southern sky, there were also many bright little fireballs, raining down like rain. Kalis knew that was where the beast camp and the giant camp were fighting, and she was overjoyed.
The endless fireballs, the aroma of meat wafting in the air, the howls of enormous beasts, the thunderous crashes of the earth, and the setting sun over the western mountains filled this twilight world, giving Carlis a combined visual and gustatory impact; she even found it magnificent.
The "fireball rain" lasted for about forty minutes. With the last howl of a beast, scattered small fireballs struck the earth again, and the symphony of light and sound began again. Then, the world fell silent.
Darkness began to envelop the land, with scattered sparks on the ground illuminating the carcasses of wild beasts.
Carlis put down her sword and shield and hugged Zhou Yuan tightly. Zhou Yuan also put down his sword and shield, and the two embraced each other, their lips naturally meeting in a passionate kiss.
Just as the two were lost in their own world, three great eagle cries rang out, followed by a call like that of a hawk, breaking the silence of the night. The golden eagle beside them also raised its neck and let out a long cry in the direction of the cries, and the three eagles cried out again, echoing the golden eagle.
Zhou Yuan immediately let go and prepared to leave, but Caris still held him tightly, kissing him and refusing to let go.
Zhou Yuan made a few "woo-woo" sounds, probably because Kalis had learned her lesson from last time and wouldn't let go. Helpless, Zhou Yuan put his arms around Kalis's slender waist again.
Carlis suddenly withdrew, her eyes fixed on Zhou Yuan. "Zhou Yuan, thank you."
Zhou Yuan stared intently as he saw three large eagles and a giant vulture flying rapidly toward the small hill. "Kalis, they're here: Thor, Mehri, Osta, and Marcus." With that, Zhou Yuan released his grip.
Carlis kissed Zhou Yuan on the cheek, then let go of his hands and turned to look at the four large birds.
"God-King!" Marcus, the God of War, shouted and leaped off the back of the great vulture. Thor, Mehri, and Ostas followed suit.
The four took a few steps uphill, stopped two meters away, and immediately bowed, "God King!"
"You've worked hard." Carlisle nodded.
Carlis turned to Zhou Yuan and said, "Zhou Yuan, thank you. If it weren't for you today, we..."
"Carlisle, don't be shy."
The God of War, Marcus, seemed displeased that Zhou Yuan addressed the God King by his name directly, saying, "Zhou Yuan, in front of the God King..."
“Marcus, forget it. My divine power is no stronger than his.”
"Yes, God-King." Although Marcus was furious, the God-King was right. If Zhou Yuan hadn't "summoned fireballs" today, the giant legion and the elven legion would probably have been wiped out. Rome County would have lost Rome County under the trampling of the beasts, and the beast army would have gone south to slaughter even more humans.
"Mohley, is there anything to eat? I'm a little hungry."
"God King, they are roasting the beast meat; it should be ready soon."
"Okay, let's go back."
“Yes, God-King.” The four bowed to Kalis and then turned to leave.
Carliss pulled Zhou Yuan onto the back of the Golden Spirit Eagle. The Golden Spirit Eagle slowly spread its wings, let out a long cry to the sky, and quickly flapped its wings, soaring into the sky.
Marcus and his companions also leaped onto the backs of the large birds one by one. Three silver-white eagles and one large vulture followed behind the golden spirit eagle, emitting one cry after another.
Four great eagles and one great vulture sped through the night. About half an hour later, they saw sparks on the ground ahead. As they drew closer, they discovered bonfires with spears strung across them, each spear skewered with animal meat.
The giant eagle and the great vulture began to slowly swoop down. The golden eagle let out a cry, which immediately attracted the attention of the gods, giants and elves on the ground. They all stood up and lined up to greet them.
The six jumped down and stood in front of the line. Marcus and the other three bypassed Kalis and Zhou Yuan and stood at the very front of the line, shouting together, "God King!"
The great and small gods, giants and elves in the procession behind also shouted together: "God King! God King! God King!" The shouts were earth-shattering, and the clanging of weapons hitting the ground could be heard for miles.
Kalis raised her right hand, her voice abruptly ceasing, "Thank you all for your hard work. Today is a sacred day we will never forget. Here, we stopped the demons' attack and protected millions of people. You are great warriors, worthy of the title of gods!"
"God King! God King! God King!" The crowd was extremely excited, their blood boiling.
"Today..." Carlisle's voice was still clearly audible even amidst the shouts of so many people, and everyone fell silent.
"Today, we want to thank someone, no, he is a god. If it weren't for him, we would have suffered even greater losses. He is Zhou Yuan."
Carliss pulled Zhou Yuan's left hand with her right hand and raised them together.
The giants and elves, of course, saw a mysterious figure join the battle, and the tide of war immediately turned; they hadn't expected it to be someone who looked so frail. The clanging of weapons striking the ground rang out once more.
With a smile on his face, Zhou Yuan telepathically told Carlisle, "Carlisle, the meat is about to burn."
Carlis was startled and looked at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan's voice rang in Carlis's mind again, "Stop looking, I'm really hungry."
Carlisle responded telepathically, saying, "Yes, I'm hungry too." Carlisle let go of Zhou Yuan's hand and shouted, "Ulken!"
“God King!” A great god stepped out from the ranks. Zhou Yuan knew that he was a god who could breathe fire. It turned out that the fire god was called Urken.
Kalis laughed and said to Urken, "Urken, your fire is too powerful! All that meat is burnt. Everyone, spread out and eat the meat quickly."
Urken knew that Kalis wouldn't usually say such things, so he was taken aback. He looked at the goddess of wisdom, Minova, who smiled at him and gently shook her head. Urken breathed a sigh of relief.
