The next time I saw the Snake Spirit, it was already two days later. I stared at the two small horns on his head as though I was looking at a green grassland.
The Snake Spirit obviously didn't know why I was staring at his head. He scratched his head and asked me what I was looking at.
"I'm looking at the grassland … Let's not talk about this first. Is there any news from the city lord's mansion?"
The Snake Spirit scratched his head again but didn't find any grass on his head. Thus, he didn't ask further and nodded. "I'm here to inform you about this. The city lord of Rapids City has informed me that the beast summoning ceremony will be held in three days.
Last night, he told me in detail about what to do during the ceremony. According to him, the reason why the dragon race is needed to host the ceremony is mainly because the dragon race's bloodline has the strongest ancient aura. We need to use the dragon race's bloodline to awaken the beast's soul. Then, with the help of the divine instrument, we can revive the beast completely. "
After waiting bitterly for two days, I finally got the news. I was instantly energized. After listening to the Snake Spirit, I quickly asked, "Will the wolf race's Monster Emperor participate in the ceremony?"
The Snake Spirit shook his head. "I specifically asked. The city lord said that I will host the ceremony. Monster Emperor Cru won't participate, but he will pay close attention to this matter."
This was another piece of good news. The ceremony would be hosted by the Snake Spirit, so it would be easy to play some tricks. Moreover, the wolf race's Monster Emperor Jun's power wasn't something that the wolf race's Monster Emperor could see through. Overall, the success rate of the plan was extremely high.
Of course, I couldn't guarantee that it would be a complete success. After all, I didn't know much about the Monster Emperor Jun's power. I could only say that I had already put all my chips on the table. I would do my best and leave the rest to fate.
After the Snake Spirit finished talking about the important matters, his shifty eyes started to roll around. He chuckled and asked me, "Brother Zhou, why isn't Xiao Wei here?"
I pointed to the room next door and said angrily, "This is my bedroom. Of course, she's staying next door. Could it be that she's staying with me?"
"That's true …" The Snake Spirit chuckled again. "If there's nothing else, I'll go look for Xiao Wei."
After I nodded, the Snake Spirit left. I could vaguely see him taking out a bunch of fresh flowers. I didn't know where he had hidden them.
Now that the plan was almost complete, I felt much more relaxed. I stayed in my room and adjusted my breathing, quietly waiting for the beast summoning ritual to begin.
Two days later, Vivian, Roger, and I received a notice from the city lord's mansion, asking us to gather at the plaza outside the city lord's mansion the next day.
We already knew the purpose of this trip before we set off, so after receiving this notice, Vivian and Logue didn't pay much attention to it and went to bed early, waiting to wake up early the next day.
Early the next morning, Yang Ling had just woken up when he heard the hubbub of voices outside. When he went out to take a look, the entrance of the relay station was filled with various groups of Beastmen. They were all heading towards the plaza not far away.
I hadn't gone out for the past few days, nor had I paid attention to the other people in the relay station. Only now did I realize that there were several hundred beastmen with dragon bloodline that had been gathered.
From this number, it seemed that Rock City had only sent three people, which was a very small number.
Vivian and Logue had also woken up at this moment, so the three of us followed the crowd and arrived at the plaza.
At this moment, there were already guards from the city lord's mansion sorting out the crowd and arranging their positions. After everyone was arranged into several square formations, a few people walked out from under the enormous Golden Wolf statue at the center of the plaza. The one leading them was the Snake Spirit. An old man wearing a golden robe embroidered with a wolf's head followed closely behind him. He must be the city lord of Rapids City.
After they stood under the statue of the golden wolf, a few sturdy Bear Tribe guards carried a huge bronze cauldron with difficulty and slowly walked in front of them. When the bronze cauldron was put down, the heavy bronze cauldron's four feet instantly cracked and shattered the tiles beneath it.
After the cauldron was put down, the guards brought over a sacrificial table and placed it in front of the cauldron. Next, various sacrificial offerings were placed on the table, filling it to the brim.
Once everything was in place, the City Lord of Rapids City called out, and the people around him knelt down. Then, two strong men carried over a life-sized statue and placed it next to the sacrificial table.
When I saw this statue, I was shocked. This was the statue of the Monster Emperor Mu that I had seen in the Green Hill Tribe.
Back in the mortal world, I had heard from Nangong He's sacrificial evil spirit that the Demonfolk of the Mountain and Sea Realm were the subordinates of the Monster Emperor Mu.
But after coming to the Mountain and Sea Realm, this was my first time seeing the statue of the Monster Emperor Mu.
Previously, I had thought that after so many years of development, the Demonfolk had given birth to the half-beastmen, and that they had ended their worship of the Monster Emperor Mu. But now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
Of course, even if the Mountain and Sea Realm continued to worship the Monster Emperor Mu, I couldn't reveal my identity.
On the one hand, I couldn't prove it. On the other hand, when an ancestor was made into an idol, everyone was happy to kneel. If the idol came back to life, that would be a completely different matter.
As the City Lord and the other guards knelt, the surrounding guards also put their hands to their chests and knelt down. Their heavy armor creaked in unison.
The Draconians and half-beastmen standing in the square were hesitating about whether or not to kneel when the Spirit Serpent stepped forward.
With a wave of his hand, the sacrificial offerings on the sacrificial table were all thrown into the huge copper cauldron. Then, he opened his mouth and a stream of white dragon flame entered the huge cauldron. The sacrificial offerings were instantly set ablaze.
After the cauldron was ignited, the Spirit Serpent didn't retract the dragon flame. Instead, it continued to spit it out, causing the flames to grow taller and taller. When they reached a height of several dozen meters, the image of a crimson Flame Dragon appeared.
After the Flame Dragon appeared, a dignified voice could be heard in the square.
"Draconians, close your eyes and focus. Activate your Monster Power and inject it into the flames!"
It was obviously the Spirit Serpent's voice. However, as I was used to hearing his lazy voice, it was hard for me to recognize him when he suddenly spoke in a low and solemn voice.
After receiving the order, the half-beastmen with the Dragon bloodline immediately followed the order and activated their Monster Power, which contained a trace of Dragon Power, and sent it into the cauldron.
Although the cultivation of the Draconians weren't high, with a few hundred of them together, they weren't any weaker than the Spirit Serpent.
Among the Spirit Serpent's Dragon Flame, the flames in the cauldron were only ten meters tall, while the Flame Dragon swimming above it was only ten meters long.
After everyone sent in their Monster Power, the flames instantly grew to ten meters. The figure of the Flame Dragon became clearer, and its body grew to about six meters.
I was in the crowd, so I couldn't see if the Spirit Serpent had activated his God's Power. However, seeing that the Flame Dragon was about to be formed, I decided to activate it first. I mixed the God's Power in my body with the Monster Power and sent it into the cauldron without anyone noticing.
After the golden god's power entered the giant cauldron along with the crimson demonic energy, the flames inside the cauldron suddenly erupted, reaching a height of thirty meters. The crimson dragon at the top of the cauldron almost instantly turned golden. Two long golden dragon whiskers grew out of the dragon's head, and the scales on its body solidified bit by bit.
After a short moment, the Red Dragon let out a sonorous roar.
Following the dragon's roar, the crimson dragon broke free from the flames and swooped down, crashing into the open space in front of the cauldron.
With a loud bang, everyone standing in the square was sent flying dozens of meters away. The huge sacrificial table and the cauldron were also sent flying. Without the supply of Monster Power, the flames that were dozens of meters tall were extinguished when the cauldron was sent flying.
