She leaned quietly over my shoulder, as if she wanted to remember my smell, sucking her nose from time to time, and rubbing her face on my shoulder.

I didn’t say anything from beginning to end, enjoying the silence.

The temperature in the forest is getting higher.

The first few of the pillars of fire that seemed to break through the sky were seven or eight more at the moment, and the cracks in the ground were also expanding, becoming much wider than the beginning.

The magma lurking in the cracks has gradually become brighter, and even look at it.

Under the background of these fires, the whole forest seems to have become a world of fire.

At this time, I did not dare to slack off, for fear that this event would quickly develop to the point where it could not end, so I also slowly ran up.

From the place where I met the sixth master to the destination, I ran behind her for more than a minute, and soon came to the so-called source.

“Fuck, this is big enough...”

Seeing all this in front of me, I have to say that I just feel that the old teaching can't move, and I really like to play big moves when I'm out.

If she had not confirmed that this was the source, I would have mistaken me for the wrong place.

It is no different here than anywhere else, except for the charred corpses that are everywhere, and there is no strange place at all.

But as far as the bodies were concerned, I was shocked enough.

There are thirty charred bodies, which I am absolutely not mistaken.

Not only that, these corpses are not foreign gentlemen, and it is likely that they are all old-fashioned people, as for how I recognized their identity... It should be determined from clothes and posture?

Really strange.

These bodies are kneeling on the ground, hands folded into a circle, that posture is definitely not hard to play out, but from the heart made of the posture... Even if they are dead bodies, I can feel the piety of their lives.

They were all dressed in old-fashioned robes, and many of the same copper ornaments were hanging around their necks.

Arguably, the robes of the old religion were only strange, but in fact, they were still objects of later life, and they were the most common materials, so I did not think that they could withstand the burning of the flames.

These robes... are likely to be burned after the dead, waiting for the flame on their bodies to be extinguished, and then put on.

“If these dead bodies are really old-fashioned people... then how do they die?”I frowned and saw this strange scene, and the scalp was also tingling: “Death by those angstasis?”been countered?”

“No.”

When she spoke, she did not jump off my back, but on my shoulder, like a dream, and muttered in a voice.

“This is a kind of living sacrifice, they are burned to death by their own people, and they have not resisted, they are willing to sacrifice for the black robe king...”

“Fuck, it’s a cult...” I gritted my teeth, even though these were old-fashioned gentlemen, and they were on my opposite side anyway.

But in the end, they are all descendants, like the old creatures of the Black Robe King, who are our real enemies.

For a monster living in the sea of deep stars... is it worth it?

"These people are really scary, and they're so religious that they're scary."She sighed, and seemed to have some emotion: "In the eyes of the black robe king, the world is food or disabling creatures, even pets are not counted, not to mention the real followers, those who are the clans?"

“You mean... the black-robed king doesn’t take the world seriously at all?”I tested and asked.

"Almost so."She smiled bitterly, "What virtue is the black robe king, needless to say that you know that in the old days, in order to fill its stomach, even its own followers and clans can kill, you think about what will happen to these followers of the world after?" 」

With that, she sighed deeply, put her head on my shoulder, and whispered, "This is really stupid, even if you follow the sand, there is no need to follow the black robe king."

“Maybe they like it.”I sighed.

I went up and looked around and just felt that this so-called source was well hidden, at least I really didn't feel where it was.

But I can probably guess.

These kneeling hands clasped together seemed to be in prayer for dead bodies, and they were surrounded by a circle.

At the center of this circle is the so-called source.

“You can’t see it?”She smiled and asked me a word.

“I can’t see or feel it.”I said, “Is it underground?”

She umapped, without much explanation, suddenly jumped off my back and walked to the center of the circle.

In the process, I found that her body had become much more transparent than before, and there was a tendency to become translucent.

This is not a good phenomenon.

Since the death of the undead king left the afterlife, his body has collapsed, and so has the soul, and naturally its power cannot survive.

She was attached to the power of the immortal king to maintain the form of the soul, and now the immortal king is gone, she can support it now is a very great thing.

I know it won’t take long for her to disappear from this world, but...

“What is stupid?”She asked with a suspicious face, and saw that I stood outside the circle for half a day without moving, just looking at her stupidly, which also confused her: "Are you uncomfortable?"

“No.”I coughed, put on a calm face, and walked to her: "It feels like this place is very secretive."

She grinned and squatted down, gently covering the ground with her right palm.

A wispy like a silk thread will emit soft green lines, just like the wind blowing, since her palm appeared, and began to circle around the palm of her hand, constantly coiled up.

The number of these lines is not much, that is, a dozen, but they seem to be able to extend without limit, from the beginning only the length of chopsticks, and soon to nearly four or five meters long.

They are like wildflowers swaying in the night wind, the movement is very soft, even if they touch each other, they will be separated in the next second, and there is no sign of entanglement with each other.

Until they extend to the appearance of nearly ten meters long, this will stop the continuous movement, and turn the direction, head down into the ground.

“What are these?”I couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“The qi of the ancients.”She smiled and said, "Without my help, I don't think you can open the land."

At the same time, the lines that radiated green and soft light had all gone to the ground, as if they had been drilled underground, and I could feel something under the three feet of yellow earth that was drilling, or squirming.

“Don’t do that, let me try it first!”

Finding that her body was more and more unstable, there was a flicker from time to time, and my heart also mentioned her voice, and that indescribable fear enveloped me in an instant.

These forces that she exerted, nine out of ten are left in her body by the undead king, and are also important factors in supporting her body to maintain stability.

“There is not much time... if you don’t hurry up...they have to devour the ancient atmosphere that is hundreds of miles away... here will become a sea of fire...”

She smiled, and the smile on her face was as simple as a child’s.

“Don’t you want to save the forest?”I can help you!”

The tone of her statement was exactly the same as that of Chen Qiuyan.

I can feel it, she said from the bottom of her heart, no matter what I want to do, maybe she will hold this attitude, unconditionally help me.

“Help the shit!”I ran to her and took her arm: “You’re crazy, aren’t you?!

“But... but I’ll disappear sooner or later.”She looked up at me, with a bright smile, and hidden a little helplessness: "Instead of disappearing, I might as well do something for you, do the best you can."

I clenched my teeth, only felt a little trembling, that mood is very complicated, can not say whether it is angry or uncomfortable, the heart is blocked panic.

“Although I am the same person as her, our memories are different, we are all independent, each with their own thoughts...”

With her laughter, there was a crack on the ground that shone with a green glow.

“I hope you will treat her well, and I hope you too.”

She did not say the following words, because her body was no longer able to support, much more serious than the translucent state.

“Don’t say that.”

I whispered, and the voice was trembling.

"I don't want you to die."

She smiled and did not speak, but her body became more and more transparent, and the cracks on the ground gradually began to increase...
