"It looks like the trapping array is activated.
Did someone accidentally break in?" the elder said thoughtfully.
He stood outside the stone house with a frown.
"If that's the case, I wonder how powerful this intruder is.
No matter what the situation is, I will not give up even if the odds are small.
If we admit defeat, our clan will be stuck here for the rest of our lives,"
he murmured solemnly.
With a firm resolve, he made way to an old temple in the village.
By the way it was built and designed, although small, it seemed that the temple existed for ages.
In front of the temple were two towering pillars. The one on the left was engraved with a dragon, the pillar on the right, on the other hand, had elephant carved in its structure.
Above the temple were shadows of dragons and elephants that flew around the whole area, like they were actually alive. The silhouettes had a primitive and savage aura within them.
Along the shadows were runes and symbols that floated, all of which related to dragons and elephants.
The elder waited outside the temple.
A moment later, four elders came in and joined his presence.
They stood together.
"Have you noticed that the trapping array of the North Dragon Badlands is activated?
There must be some intruder who accidentally entered the North Dragon Badlands,"
the elder who first arrived at the temple reported.
"Yes, it has taken my attention. The trapping array has indeed been activated.
I understand what you mean, Davy.
But haven't you given up yet?
We have been through this a lot of times, and we have failed each time,"
the elder dressed in white mentioned.
"Come on, Ludacris. Do you want our clan to just stay in here forever?"
Davy adamantly asked.
"Of course not.
But... "
Ludacris trailed off, his face obviously troubled.
"For our clan to be finally free, we shouldn't shut down any opportunity that comes our way,"
Davy further added to his argument.
"What do you say, guys?"
Davy asked, consulting the other elders who were listening to the conversation.
"You are right. As long as there is a chance, no matter how small, we should give it a try."
The rest of the old men looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"In that case, we should activate the altar and allow that outsider to get in!"
Davy advised.
The elders immediately rushed inside
In the middle of the temple, something was illuminating the room. There was an old altar glowing brilliantly.
All of them circled the altar and sat cross-legged around it. They recited some chants while creating formulas with their hands. As they did so, they pounded the altar with it.
From what it looked like, they were performing some ancient ritual ceremony.
Eventually, roars from dragons and elephants could be continually heard all around. The temple shook.
Out of the blue, a huge dragon and an elephant came out of the temple.
The two of them looked skywards and growled, which made the sky tremble violently.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As they did so, the dragon and the elephant soared up high in the sky and they vanished into thin air
Meanwhile, in the core area of the North Dragon Badlands, the warship was moving forward under the control of Austin.
All around it was encapsulated by a grey fog.
Boom!
The formidable giant monster rushed forward to chase Austin.
There were tens of thousands of monsters followed behind it like a wave crashing.
Using his spiritual sense, Austin felt that his pursuers were right behind him. This alerted him and got him rattled.
"Things have gone too far. How can I get rid of them?"
Austin murmured thoughtfully; this has started to become a nuisance for him.
From what it seemed like, he was looking at his prey that had fallen into the trap.
'I'm doomed...' Austin thought.
He was getting worried of his situation.
'Perhaps this will be the end of me, ' he added.
Howls of anger continued.
Numerous beasts rushed towards Austin.
"Die!"
Austin, of course, would not sit idly by and wait for his own death. He took out his Pot of Chaos and activated his physical strength. Then, he waved the pot to hit his enemies. In a blink of an eye, a few hundred monsters were immediately smashed into pieces.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Austin released his demonic avatar and the God-killing Puppet to help him fight the beasts that charged towards him.
"Go to hell!"
Austin's attacks were fatal. He performed all the martial art skills he practiced, making most of the monsters suffer an immediate death as soon as they came close.
After a while, Austin found that there were some powerful monsters also attacking him.
When several stronger beasts attacked him, Austin couldn't gain the upper hand.
The God-killing Puppet and Austin's demonic avatar confronted a few formidable monsters and they couldn't defeat them.
The gigantic beast that was in charge, on the other hand, simply stood there and watched. He didn't even move an inch.
He was most likely a leader of high status. He was observing whether his subordinates could take down the outsider.
But after a few moments of waiting, he ran out of his patience.
"Outsider, meet your doom!"
he roared and marched towards Austin.
Austin's heart sank.
'The monster is way too powerful for me to handle, ' he thought dejectedly.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
Two huge roars reverberated throughout the whole area.
The resonance brought Austin back to his senses.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a giant dragon and a giant elephant showed up from nowhere and hovered around Austin.
