Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 779 Sweet Floral Fragrance

"...I think it's not a bad idea to participate in this war and strengthen cooperation with the Candlelight."

As soon as the charred beast rider and Agoni finished speaking, a final sound, accompanied by a deafening buzz, came and slowly flew into the flames of the giant campfire.

He looked like a huge, ferocious, blood-red mosquito, but strangely enough, his abdomen had a very serious and righteous human face.

After saying that, the human face opened its mouth and spat out a stream of crystal-clear, jade-like blood, which flowed into the giant bonfire.

"Blood-Revenge Mosquito - Ba..."

"Gentlemen...it's been a long time."

Argoni responded in a deep voice, clearly indicating that everyone was present around the giant bonfire.

"Time is of the essence, so let's skip the formalities." The old man with the lantern spoke in a hoarse and weathered voice, getting straight to the point: "As usual, let's all express our opinions."

He then stated his position.

My opinion is not to participate.

As soon as he finished speaking, the charred beast rider next to him echoed the same sentiment.

"My opinion is also not to participate."

“In the darkness, no other force can be trusted.”

The charcoal-riding beastman spoke coldly, showing a distrust of the candlelight.

"My opinion is...to participate."

“What we intend to do is inherently risky, and simply running away is not an option.”

The blood-stained mosquito calmly opened its mouth.

The charred beast rider was clearly displeased upon hearing this, but he did not utter a word in rebuttal; he simply let out a heavy sigh.

Then it was Agoni's turn.

It's now a two-to-one vote. If he chooses not to participate, their decision will be clear.

But if they choose to participate, their choices will be even again.

After a long silence, Agonis spoke.

"My opinion is...to participate."

Choose to remain unchanged.

There were only four of them, and the situation seemed to have reached a stalemate.

But the others showed no emotion or argued; they simply kept their eyes fixed on the giant campfire in front of them.

They seemed to have noticed their gaze.

The once silent giant bonfire suddenly emitted a different kind of flame, which then slowly split into four parts and fell in front of everyone.

After touching the flames, they already knew which giant campfire to choose.

"Newborn babies always feel the warmth of the firelight first, not the burning sensation..."

The old man with the lantern shook his head slightly.

"We should feel awe for the scorching heat, but warmth also objectively exists..."

Argoni said slowly.

Upon hearing Agoni's words, the old man with the lantern chuckled softly but said nothing.

Seeing that the campfire had made its choice, the Charcoal Beast Rider and the Blood-Swept Rebel Mosquito said nothing more.

"In that case, let's assign the tasks for the next step."

The charcoal-riding beastman spoke calmly, showing no intention of arguing with or changing anyone else's opinion.

"Due to corruption, I am temporarily unable to spare the time to deal with this matter."

The blood-stained mosquito also raised its own difficulties, indicating that it could not help in the future.

This is a tacit understanding and consensus they have developed over a long period of time. Now that the decision has been made, there is no need for further arguments.

"Next, I will make the following arrangements..."

The old man with the lantern spoke in a steady voice and began assigning tasks, quickly arranging the process in an orderly manner.

After resolving this important matter, the Charcoal Beast Rider and the Blood-Soaked Rebel Mosquito planned to leave.

However, the old man with the lantern then looked at Agoni beside him.

"On a side note."

"Has that kid in Yasum finished recovering?"

"Since it didn't work out, let's bring him over to my side. It'll be a good use of him."

"That's what the old man with the lantern said."

Upon hearing this, Agoni chuckled: "He probably wouldn't be too keen on going to your side."

“That’s not up to him.” The old man with the lantern said calmly, “Anyway, judging from your intelligence, the so-called eternally sleeping soul is no longer what it used to be.”

"Coming to me is giving him one last chance."

"Hmm." Argonne didn't pay too much attention and casually agreed to his request.

"After you're done using it, bring it to me," the charcoal-covered beast rider added.

"understood."

After responding, Agoni walked into the vortex of flames.

The value of Yasum is determined only after this point.

In just a few words, they decided each other's fate...

……

After the time of the war was determined.

Rogge then began preparations without stopping, on the one hand to ensure that players could reliably enter the lair of the evil gods, and on the other hand to arrange the text and Candlewood Island.

Besides these things, Roger didn't forget another matter.

He found Kehl, the Undying One of the Undead Clan.

Upon receiving the contact from the candlelight, Kehl was as excited as ever.

"Lord Candlekeeper, has the candlelight found a way to reignite the world?!"

Kehl asked excitedly.

He didn't seem to have any of the composure of a Corpse Spirit Clan leader.

This is understandable, though. In Keher’s view, he maintains his composure on a daily basis to give confidence to his tribe members and set an example.

But in the face of candlelight... he felt it was unnecessary.

Looking at his excited and expectant expression, Roger had to shake his head, indicating that it wasn't like that at all.

He then told Candlelight about the operation that was about to take place.

Before Roger could speak again...

Kehl replied earnestly without hesitation, "Please allow us to participate in this war and give the Corpse Spirit Clan a chance to prove themselves to the Candlelight!"

He is quite enlightened.

Furthermore, he didn't think that Candlelight's initiative in approaching the Corpse Spirit Clan was intended to use them as cannon fodder. On the contrary, he believed that Candlelight's approach was a sign of trust!
"can."

"There happens to be a place where we need you to go."

Roger nodded slightly; this was one of the reasons he had brought Kehl here.

After receiving Rogge's affirmative reply, Kehl breathed a sigh of relief. He then solemnly reassured Rogge before returning to his tribe, clearly to prepare for war.

After making arrangements for the Corpse Spirit Clan, Rog did not seek out any other affiliated forces of Candlefire Island.

Firstly, I don't need it, and secondly, it would be a pity if it died.

Of course, this is not to discriminate against the Corpse Spirit Clan, but rather because the Corpse Spirit Clan has characteristics that other affiliated forces do not possess, so naturally they are not needed.

……

Li Miao and Shang An, who were in class, suddenly received a message from afar. After glancing at it, their eyes widened. "Holy crap, are we going to have another dynamic war?"

"Ah, this is a bit difficult. I was planning to rest and not go online tonight, and go grab a late-night snack with my junior..."

"Eating late-night snacks? I think you're more interested in eating female students. Fine, go ahead, take care."

"...I'm not going. My junior sister will only slow me down when I swing the Dragonspine Greatsword!"

Upon seeing the news about the dynamic war, Li Miao decisively chose to stand up his junior.

Heavy armor and a cold greatsword are the romance of men!

"...This young man has a bright future!" Upon reaching the shore, everyone was filled with respect and gave him a thumbs up.

"get out of class is almost over, pack your things, we'll get ready for the game after dinner!"

Li Miao urged them on.

At the same time, he didn't forget to send messages to other contacts on his phone to inform them about the dynamic war.

……

Beyond the boundaries of the fragments, in the darkness of the world, in an inconspicuous corner.

After piercing through the thick dark clouds, bloody light and mournful cries came from the eerie earth below.

Rivers of blood flowed across the land, like the exposed veins after skin has been cut away. Mountains of corpses and heads teemed with swarms of flies and maggots, becoming an ideal breeding ground for carnivorous monsters and bloodthirsty creatures.

Wow!

Sharp claws tore through the sticky film of corpse oil, and the newly born ghoul let out a terrifying howl towards the sky.

But the roar was quickly interrupted by a sharp bird's beak covered in serrated teeth. The strange bird, with its drooping eyeball, raised its neck and swallowed it like an insect.

Bang!
Then came the sound of flesh tearing apart, and blood and entrails splattered all over the strange bird, startling it so much that it quickly flapped its wings and flew away.

Outside the seemingly normal giant castle, a huge garden was neatly arranged, and a bloated monster gardener was working diligently.

As the massive bone hammer slammed down, the soil emitted a low scream and wail, then timidly revealed a pit, within which tentacles could be vaguely seen crawling around.

The monster gardener pulled open his abdomen, grabbed a spine, and ripped out a human head along with it.

"no, do not want!"

"Ahhh-"

He let out a terrified scream, seemingly still retaining the emotions of a normal living being.

But the monster gardener ignored his wails and simply placed him slowly into the pit in the soil.

As if sensing the bloody spine, these tentacles in the soil rose up densely, like plant roots or blood vessels and nerves, entwining and combining with it.

"No, this is a nightmare! This isn't real! It's fake... I... uh..."

The terror drove the human head into incoherent speech and mental derangement, but this did not stop him from being planted in this eerie soil.

woo-

Suddenly, a strange flute melody came from the side.

Upon closer inspection, one can see a corpse dressed in a tailcoat holding the back of a skull and playing a flute, the sound emanating from it.

Upon hearing this sound, the head's eyes suddenly became vacant and began to sway strangely and rhythmically.

Elsewhere, skulls that had been implanted long ago blossomed like flower petals after a series of horrified screams.

Fear condensed into mist at that moment, like pollen from flowers, slowly drifting towards the ancient castle...

Finally, it floated up to the upper floors of the castle and was completely absorbed by a dense array of nasal cavities.

"Mmm...sweet floral scent..."

“Refreshing.”

After inhaling that wisp of fearful air, the densely packed nasal cavities began to shrink back, eventually returning to the pure white nose of a woman.

The tall woman in the red belted dress adjusted her hat, turned around, looked at the surging darkness, and gave a loving smile.

“Darling, I want to find the lustful virgin and let Him bring us a… different experience…”

The woman in the red dress spoke with a hint of seduction.

However, faced with her provocation...

The surging darkness did not respond, but after a moment it solidified into a form, eventually becoming a handsome and tall man who held the woman in his arms.

"I'm sorry, darling, not now."

"The lustful virgin has run into some trouble and is currently unable to get away..."

The handsome man said apologetically and gently.

Beneath His voice came the sound of flutes and painful groans from the garden outside the window.

The woman leaned lazily against Him and suggested, "Then, what about Gail outside? How about we let Him help us? I had a pretty good impression of Him last time..."

The handsome man shook his head again: "He doesn't seem to have any free time lately..."

Hear this.

A flash of crimson light appeared in the woman's eyes, and her face instantly contorted, becoming incredibly terrifying.

"Damn bastards!"

Are they trying to isolate us?

"Who gave them the audacity to refuse our requests one after another?!"

“My dear, since they can’t make us happy, let’s plant them in the garden and let them provide delicious fear!”

Before she finished speaking, the garden in front of the castle began to tremble, as if something was about to burst forth from the ground in response to the woman's anger.

This instantly brought the bunch of spineless skulls in the garden to their senses, and after realizing what was happening, they all screamed and howled.

It was clear that what she just said was not just venting.

Fortunately, the handsome man gently comforted and reassured her, which calmed her down.

"...They sent an apology as per custom."

"How about I take you to see it?"

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her gently.

The woman in the red dress also regained her docile demeanor and nodded obediently.

Amidst a mix of darkness and crimson, they flew out of the castle and instantly arrived before the so-called "apology."

This group of people offering "apologies" were a group of desperate, terrified, and trembling lives.

They were abducted and witnessed one hellish scene after another along the way; now, they have been brought to this castle.

thump...

The enormous creature lowered the bone cage, and then brutally removed the several lives hanging from its chest by hooks, blood gushing out and screams echoing.

Among these beings are wild animals, humans, and some rather strange-looking plant life.

What they had in common was, of course, the intensity of their firelight.

It is obvious that they are far superior to the life forms in the bone cage.

Perhaps this is why the giant monster hung them on the iron hooks on its chest.

In an instant, anger, fear, panic, and all sorts of emotions were on display.

The giant monster knelt in reverence, then turned and left.

"Ah... fresh new seeds, my dear, I'm sure I can grow even more sweet fears for you!"

The woman in the red dress was very happy and looked at the handsome man beside her.

However, the handsome man did not respond to her immediately as usual. Instead, he closed his eyes tightly, his expression growing increasingly serious, as if he had received some bad news.

"Darling..." The woman in the red dress hadn't even asked her question yet.

The man grabbed her hand and ran towards the very center of the area...
