Chapter 310: New Troubles
Looking at this gradually gray world, I was confused for a while, how can I get out?
Su Mei struggled in my arms, I had to put her down, and she stared at me viciously: "What do you see? If you look at the old lady again, I will beat you!"
After scolding me a few times, she looked nervously, then pointed to the front of the wilderness and said, "Go in that direction, don't stop at all! ”
I picked up Su Mei again, and this time she didn't resist, and I turned my head to look at the Elder, who was half buried in the mud, and only half of his body was outside.
Suddenly from the ruins of the crumbling castle came a lot of straight little people, black little men that I saw in the moat!
I wiped it! What the hell is this? I was stunned, Su Mei suddenly punched me in the chest: "Why don't you hurry up?"
Running again with Su Mei in her arms, running in the direction she said, those little people were quickly distanced by me and ran towards the depths of the wilderness.
The surface of the earth shook more and more, the sky seemed to be collapsing, and the huge lumpy cloud was slowly collapsing down, causing countless smoke and dust to stir up on the surface! In front of the smoke, a bright spot suddenly appeared!
I sped up and ran towards the bright spot, which grew bigger and bigger, more and more dazzling, and just as we got close to the light source, a huge force absorbed us, and there was a darkness in front of me, and I was a little panicked!
Suddenly I woke up, it turned out that I was still sitting in the large living room of the sacred tree, surrounded by the old turtle and Ouyang Wenru and those demigods, they looked at me like monkeys, their eyes were full of horror, and when I opened my eyes, the expressions of these guys were relieved.
The old turtle patted me on the shoulder excitedly: "Master Zhao, you are finally back, I am still afraid that you will be trapped by the elders!"
I noticed that the old turtle was holding a glass bottle in his hand, and a wisp of pale white smoke was in the bottle, could it be that it was the soul of the saint?
I asked them to disperse quickly, and then the bedroom door opened, and Su Mei came out of it, and she looked at me with a concerned face: "Are you okay?"
My heart was beating wildly, oh my God! Su Mei finally woke up.
Her humble title made everyone laugh, but everyone didn't laugh, so they had to endure it desperately, I was a little embarrassed, I guess she was also in a hurry to shout, I had to nod and respond to her: "I'm fine, you also come over and let me check my body, I'll see if you have any losses." ”
In fact, I said this from the heart, but it was a joke for me and her to listen to it, but these brothers felt like they were teasing her, so everyone finally couldn't help laughing, and Su Mei blushed with anger: "Bastard, you want to take advantage of me again?"
She suddenly rushed over and kicked me, I was caught off guard by her kick back a few steps, and everyone laughed again, I had to laugh at myself: "Your strength is not small, it seems that there is indeed no problem." ”
Wen Ru said with a smile: "My brother Zhao is fierce and fierce, and this time I successfully rescued Sister Su Mei, I really admire Klaas!" Speaking of this, Wen Ru also stretched out his thumb exaggeratedly.
Ouyang pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with a wicked smile on his face: "Forget it, Wenru, don't lick it so violently, be careful to lick Brother Zhao's bald skin! Brother Zhao's face is reserved for Su Mei!"
The crowd was laughing again, but I didn't have the heart to mess around with them, so I quickly got up and looked at the elder's head, and saw that the creature had his eyes closed, and he looked very stiff, and felt like a lifeless sculpture.
I touched my head and found that the thing had really become hard and cold, completely lacking the warmth and liveliness of before, and the old turtle came over and looked at me: "The elder is dead, he is now considered to be destroyed!
Speaking of this, the old turtle added: "This is also his own fault, Zhao Ye, you don't have to worry about it!"
I noticed the unsmiling demigod standing in the corner of the living room, silent, with a nonchalant expression the whole time.
I beckoned him over, and the demigod came over naturally, and I patted him on the shoulder: "You don't need to die for the elder, he is now gone, and there is no way to get it back." ”
The demigod didn't say anything, he stared at the elder's head blankly for a long time, and suddenly said: "Master Zhao, can you give me his head, I want to bury it, but he is also the hero of our divine tree." ”
Looking at his sincere eyes, I hesitated a little, and after thinking for a long time, I decided to reject him.
There are so many strange things happening on this island, and some phenomena have seriously violated scientific principles, completely subverting my three views, and where this cannot be measured by common sense, as long as you make a wrong choice, then you will be even more wrong!
I can't predict if this head will be resurrected, the existence of this thing is a threat to me, and I can't give it to him for the time being!
The demigod didn't react to my refusal, he just nodded indifferently: "You are the big guy, what you say is what you say!"
With that, he walked over to the round table of the elder's head, and then knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed to the head a few times, and everyone was surprised that he had done so, and they looked at each other and turned their eyes to me, their expressions full of inquiring surprise.
I didn't speak, in fact I can't object to their respect for the elders, in fact this guy deserves respect too!
Seeing that I ignored the guy's kneeling, several other demigods also came over and kowtowed, and the old turtle walked up to me and sighed: "Although this guy has made a mistake, Elder, his intentions are good, but it's a pity, ambition is greater than strength, no matter how heroic it is, it will be over!"
I didn't expect the old turtle to be able to say such philosophical words, which surprised me a little.
Then the old turtle said: "In our country, no matter how awesome the heroes are, they will be ruined in two things, one is too ambitious, and the other is a woman! The elder lost so badly today, it is completely caused by this woman! I don't even know what to do with her." With that, he held up the bottle and looked at it carefully, a grimace on his face.
"Let her go, let her be free, it's not a problem to be locked up in this bottle!" I couldn't help it.
The old turtle nodded yes, so he opened the glass bottle, I noticed that the bottle was still covered with gold leaf, and when I opened the bottle, the wisp of white smoke slowly floated out, and then gradually dispersed into the air, mixed with the transparent air.
After doing this, the old turtle also handed me the ring: "Master Zhao, this thing is useless, you can keep it as a souvenir." "It's an ominous thing, but I still carry the ring in my arms.
At this time, the demigods said goodbye to me, and watched them leave one by one, and I noticed a faint sadness in their expressions, and I guess the death of the elder hit them hard.
Su Mei sat cross-legged on the floor to rest, she looked a little tired and weak, and her face was also very pale, probably because her body had not recovered yet.
I quickly got up and prepared to help her into the bedroom, but I didn't expect her to push me away, her eyes full of resentment, probably because she still remembered that she was naked and I saw this. Watching her slowly lean against the wall and walk into the bedroom, I couldn't help but be a little worried: "Do you want to eat something?"
"You don't care about the old lady's business!" Su frowned and roared.
Now that Su Mei has woken up, it is estimated that it will not take a few days to recover, and then I can go on the road towards the Xia Yin District, this time the road is not only for the treasure, but I also want to find the Zhu Chaomeng brother whose life and death are uncertain, I can't give up on him!
But the trouble is that now that the elder is dead, and the Dryad is badly damaged, and there is no qualified successor now, what if those guys fight back against the Divine Tree again? So I want to elect a leader among them, so that I can manage this place for the Dryad, and at least protect this place until the Dryad recovers.
Ouyang and Wen Ru must not be leaders, these two guys are greedy for money and lustful, and they can't be entrusted with important tasks at all, so I plan to take them away, but then there will be no one in the Divine Tree, if the old turtle regains power, he may turn against us!
Now the question arises, how do I choose a new successor?
Before that, I decided to communicate with the Tree God first, I want to see what his opinion is, no matter what, there is absolutely no way for me to stay as an elder!
