"How about it? I was right, wasn't I?"
After saying this with a smile to the Bloodforged Saint, Qian Er began to activate the faith within his body, trying to create some light and shadow effects on himself.
Since he wanted to recruit believers, he couldn't always appear as an undead, a skeleton, or a mass of flesh and blood. That would immediately give people the impression of an unparalleled demon, and who would want to become a believer then? People would be doing well just not running away.
After being reminded by him, the Bloodforged Saint and the Human Sovereign Banner also began to activate the faith within their bodies. Their faith was far inferior to that of the Frost Lord, but it was enough to create some special effects.
"Frost Lord, go and greet our guests."
Qian Er looked up at the ice dragon flying through the sky and spoke in his heart through the Beastmaster Contract.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Frost Lord nodded slightly, circled a few times in the sky, and then swooped down towards the direction where the group of people was coming from.
… …
"Why do I feel like it's getting colder and colder?"
The young man leading the group rubbed his goosebump-covered arms and asked with some bewilderment.
"Young man, you're too indulgent. This old man doesn't feel cold in this weather. When I was your age, I used to run around shirtless every day."
The half-old man leading the other group pursed his lips, which were turning white from the cold, and stubbornly tried to put on a brave face.
"Old man, your legs are shaking."
The young man sneered and glanced at the half-old man's legs.
"Nonsense, you… it's coming!!!"
The half-old man was originally planning to argue, but the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of the Frost Lord swooping down from the sky. Immediately, his whole body jolted, and after shouting a sharp sentence, he lay down on the ground.
The others immediately lay down as soon as they heard the movement.
Whoosh!!!
Everyone could clearly feel the strong airflow passing over their backs, bringing a burst of extreme cold. The howling of the wind dissipated from above their heads and gradually disappeared.
Bang!
A heavy landing sound rang out in front, chilling everyone to the bone.
They belonged to two different large human gathering places in this city.
Previously, they had heard news from people in a small gathering place that there was a dragon here. They didn't believe it at first, but after seeing the person's earnest words and the photos they presented as evidence, their leaders hesitated. While organizing people to start packing their things, they sent them over to see what was going on and maintain communication, ready to run away from the camp immediately if there was a problem.
Before coming, they already knew their position, almost being abandoned pawns. But it wasn't certain they would die. As long as what that person said was false, they would be fine.
But all of this ended after seeing the skeletal dragon swooping down from the sky. What the people from the small gathering place said was true. The apocalypse had really evolved such a monster!
"…Leader, prepare for the worst. What that person said is all true."
Slowly getting up from the ground, the half-old man held his weapon tightly in his hand, his eyes staring straight at the Frost Lord, and slowly said. On his collar, a communicator was quietly pinned.
"…There really is a dragon!"
Clenching his teeth, he said this sentence with his last bit of courage.
Heaven knows how much pressure he, a mortal, was under, facing a quasi-king-level beast, a mobile natural disaster, and also the cub of a quasi-god.
The others also stood up one after another at this time, staring at the Frost Lord with horrified eyes.
The Frost Lord looked at these weak humans, suddenly tilted its head, and in its empty eye sockets, the soul fire flickered with an interested look.
This action startled the others, and they quickly took a half step back.
But the next moment, their footsteps stopped, and their eyes gradually became surprised and uncertain.
In the cold, a faint fragrance slowly drifted, and the scent, like sandalwood, slightly relaxed the tense spirits of these people. The ferocious Frost Lord was now gradually emitting a hazy white light.
Under the illumination of that white light, the Frost Lord appeared solemn and dignified.
Faintly, they seemed to hear countless prayers ringing in their ears.
[Praises, the Ten Directions Demon-Subduing Bone Dragon Lord!]
[Well done, the Ten Directions Demon-Subduing Bone Dragon Lord!]
[Holy, the Ten Directions Demon-Subduing Bone Dragon Lord!]
Dense prayers surrounded the Frost Lord. At this moment, the hazy white light on the Frost Lord's body shone brightly. In the eyes of these people, the Frost Lord became incomparably tall and incomparably sacred, like a white-boned Bodhisattva overlooking all living beings.
"Humans, follow me."
A deep voice came from the mouth of the Frost Lord, and under the blessing of faith, it was like a loud bell, causing many distracted people to shudder and wake up.
"This… Old man, what do we do? Should we follow?"
The young man moved his feet a few times, carefully approached the half-old man, and asked in a low voice, not daring to take his eyes off the Frost Lord for a moment.
"What else can we do? Do you have the ability to resist? Everyone, follow."
The half-old man said with a sad face, and then took the lead to follow behind the Frost Lord.
Along the way, these people were all hesitant to speak, stopping and starting again, wanting to ask the Frost Lord something, but in the end, they all swallowed their words, not daring to speak.
Soon, the group saw the circle of bone cages several meters high, and the hairs on their bodies almost stood on end.
How could this thing look so strange?
Is that material bone? That should be the rib of some super-large beast, but what kind of beast could have such big bones?!
While this group of people was brainstorming, the bone cage shook, and a staircase made of bones slowly emerged, leading directly to the top of the cage.
"Everyone, come on up."
A deep voice came from the mouth of the Frost Lord. After saying that, it shook its wings and soared into the sky like a tree pulled from the ground, continuing to circle in the sky.
Since evolving, it had been particularly fond of soaring in the high sky.
"…Let's go up."
Swallowing hard, the half-old man stepped onto the stairs with a mournful face. In this situation, stretching out his head was a knife, and shrinking back was also a knife, so it was better to cooperate a little. Maybe he could die a little more quickly.
Soon, the stairs came to an end, and these people also reached the top of the bone cage. The top was a passage about two or three meters wide, making it easy to walk on.
"My children, I am very happy to see you who are still alive."
Just as these people were marveling at the feeling under their feet, a magnificent voice rang out, and these people raised their heads as if they had been electrocuted, immediately seeing a humanoid creature wrapped in white light, unable to see its face, reaching out to them with its back to the sun.
Like a god and like a saint, like heaven and like a father.
