Yan'er looked at the monster unhappily, "Why? Why should we help it?"

"It's okay for us to go over and take a look, we won't lose anything, will we?" said Jin Hotaru towards the cliff.

"Hotaru is so willful, the lunch that came to my mouth flew away again!But I'm magnanimous, I don't care about him, it's better to go with him!" Yan'er complained dissatisfiedly, but flew over anyway.

Jin Ying asked the woman, "What do you want us to do for you?"

Standing on the cliff beckoning to them was a youkai who had incarnated as a human woman, wearing a long dress with white lotus dotted with turquoise, long black shawl hair, and delicate facial features.

Jin Ying couldn't distinguish its original form, and while looking at it, he thought: I admire this monster a little in my heart, according to experience, the guy who dares to take the initiative to greet Suzaku has never encountered it again, except for Zou Xiao.

"You come and help me," the monster couldn't help but say, without asking for Jin Hotaru's opinion, grabbed him and left, "Come on! I can't save them by myself!"

Jin Hotaru didn't know what it was going to do, so she had to follow it. I walked until I walked to an open field, but I never saw anyone who needed help.

The monster looked at him with disgust: "Why are you still standing in a daze!

"What, save whom?" said Jin Yingdong, looking around.

"Where are you looking? here, right under your feet!"

"Save ...... Save them?"

Jin Ying looked down and saw a bush next to him that had been run and chewed by a herd of wild goats, staggering and discriminate.

"Plants are also part of this mountain forest, aren't they? Haven't you been helping everyone to protect this place? Aren't plants out of your protection? It's a waste of what I worship you like heroes!" the monster pouted unhappily, "Plants are the only species in heaven and earth that only need sunlight, water, soil, and air to survive, and they can also provide other life nutrients, how can they be looked down upon by everyone?"

"I can now live without water, air and soil, and I don't need to eat other living things. Jin Ying replied seriously.

Yan'er stood on Jin Hotaru's shoulder, disappreciative, glared at the monster and said dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong with eating other creatures!"

When the monster heard Jin Hotaru's words, he couldn't help laughing, tilted his head and pretended to be serious, and said, "Well, haha, but you used to be a plant like me." ”

Jin Hotaru's face couldn't help but blush slightly, he knew that the other party was sarcastic about him, after all, he was also the lowest among the monsters.

"What do you want me to do for you?" he just wanted to get done quickly and get out early.

"Come, help me lift them up, will you use the Dirt Covering Charm?"

"Yes. ”

"When I help them regrow their leaves, you protect their roots with a mulching charm. ”

"Good. ”

The youkai reached out, and the broken bush grew out of the soil, and the golden firefly protected the roots of the plant. The youkai carefully repaired the branches and leaves of the plant with spells. For the first time, the golden firefly discovered that it takes more mana to make plants grow and flourish than to heal animals or other things.

When all the bushes were saved, the moon had crept into its face. Yan'er was probably hungry, and she didn't know where to fly to find food. Jin Hotaru patted the dirt on her hands and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, please. ”

"Anything else?" said Jin Ying, turning around.

"Can you stay with me a little longer?"

“？”

"You just have to stay with me until tomorrow morning. ”

"I'm going to find Yan'er. ”

"What if I'm dying? Will you spend this last time with me?"

"Dead ......"

"I'm dying! I only have to live until tomorrow morning!"

"I'm a yellow thorn tree, and tomorrow will be the beginning of autumn, isn't it?"

The golden firefly knows the peculiar properties of this plant. Every spring, when the body of the yellow thorn tree sprouts, a youkai is born, but on the day of the beginning of autumn, the youkai dies, and the tree stays alive, and in the spring, new youkai are born. This is a strange, non-reproducible, short-lived, but immortal dryad.

Golden Firefly looked at it and said, "I saw the yellow thorn tree for the first time. ”

"I always thought it was just something written in the book. ”

It sat down, patted a large rock beside it with its hand, and motioned for Jin Ying to sit down: "Isn't it a novelty to see a dying yellow thorn tree?"

"Not really, but anyway, you'll be alive next spring, so it doesn't matter much. ”

"...... next spring"

With a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, Yellow Thorn pointed to the swamp below the mountain and asked, "New vine moss grows there every day, but is that you?"

"Of course it's not me. ”

"That's not me either. ”

It took a few seconds for the golden firefly to react and understand the meaning of its words: "Every year you grow a different yellow thorn tree, which means you can only live for three seasons. ”

"Yes, we can retain the knowledge of the previous generation, we just can't preserve the memories and emotions. We can only live so long that tomorrow is my deadline. It said with a bit of a slouch. But it was difficult to hide the sadness in the words.

Jin Hotaru sat next to it, unable to think of words to comfort it, although he didn't know why he was accompanying it, but there was nothing to lose by accompanying it, he thought to himself.

"Why?" Yellowthorn looked directly at the golden firefly, and it repeated these three words, "Why?

Jin Hotaru looked at it in bewilderment.

"Why did you survive?"

"Me?"

Yellow Thorn turned his head away and didn't look at him: "In fact, we Yellow Thorn also have a way to live." ”

"What's the solution?" Jin Ying thought to herself, wondering if she could help it?

Yellow Thorn turned around, stared at him, and said word by word, "Emperor Flowing Pulp!"

"Emperor Flowing Pulp...... "Jin Ying knew that such a thing was unattainable.

"Once in 60 years...... In other words, only one of us survives every sixty years! And you, you get this chance! Why?"

"Because that day happened to be the day of the emperor's pulp. "Jin Hotaru didn't understand why the dryad was so excited, there was nothing between whether he could survive or whether he could survive or not, right?

"Why! You can live, and I die!"

Yellow Thorn suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Jin Hotaru's neck violently, and countless rhizomes stretched out from the soil and pierced into Jin Hotaru's body, as if he was crazy, and his mouth kept shouting.

The golden firefly immediately transformed into a black shadow, easily escaping its attack. He stretched out his hand and shot out a flash of fire, ejecting the yellow thorn more than ten steps and slamming it to the ground. Youkai incarnated in plants are the most afraid of fire.

Jin Hotaru has not cultivated in vain for hundreds of years, and against this little monster, he effortlessly found the opponent's weakness and successfully hit the opponent.

Yellow Thorn was knocked down by the spell of the golden firefly and couldn't get up for a while.

If Jin Ying wanted to end up with its life at this time, it would be easy for him to die, but he hesitated, thinking in his heart, it would only live until tomorrow morning anyway, he turned around and was about to go to find Zou Xiao. By the way, let's see if Yan'er has returned.

Huang Thorn, who fell to the ground, desperately got up, whining and crying, shouting at Jin Ying's back, "Please don't go." I can only live until tomorrow morning, and I won't waste a lot of your time, so you can do it, don't leave me alone and die alone, I just ask you to stay with me until tomorrow morning, can't this work?"

"But you tried to kill me. The golden firefly reminded it that the fact that it had just done was unforgivable.
