The moment the old man stepped into the room, his eyes opened, and the essence of the light made Xia Yu feel cold.

"Can you take off the silver oak ornament around your neck and show me?" the old man said to Xia Yu.

The silver oak ornament was left by the little princess to Xia Yu, saying that it was a token of her family, and Xia Yu thought the ornament was very beautiful and put it on her body.

There was an undoubted meaning in the old man's words, although Xia Yu was shocked, he still took down the item left by the little princess as he said.

The old man put the silver oak ornament in the palm of his hand, put his hands together, and began to whisper in his mouth, speaking very quickly but with a very peculiar rhythm.

Xia Yu couldn't hear what the old man was talking about, but just when he felt strange, he saw a soft light burst out from the old man's palm, illuminating the entire small room.

The old man opened his eyes again, and his palm was spread flat, and the silver oak ornament that exuded a soft but dazzling light lay quietly in his palm.

When the light dissipated, Xia Yu saw that the silver oak ornament had now changed dramatically.

What was originally just an oak tree has now become a very strange pattern, and although it retains the general appearance of an oak tree, it seems that there is something more.

"This is the royal badge of the Dragon Elephant Kingdom, and on your body, there is also a same badge. The old man said quietly.

"Wait......" Xia Yu hurriedly waved his hand, "You must be mistaken, this pendant is not mine, but left to me by someone else!"

"This badge is a token, no matter who gave it to you, we only recognize the badge. The old voice came.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Those have to be explored by yourself, I don't have much time, all I can do is to open the mark of destiny on your body for you......" The old man said, stretched out his hand and pointed at Xia Yu, and Xia Yu floated lightly and floated towards him in the air.

When Xia Yu arrived in front of the old man, the old man also floated on his own, but he still maintained a cross-legged posture.

The old man stretched out his index finger and put it on Xia Yu's head, and the silver and bright divine consciousness in Xia Yu's body suddenly burst out like a surging river.

A low murmur came from the old man's mouth into Xia Yu's ears, and in this murmur with a strange tone, Xia Yu felt that his eyes were getting heavier and heavier, and his head was tingling at the same time, and he fell into a coma with these two strange feelings.

The badge in the old man's hand burst out with a strong light, slowly blending into Xia Yu's forehead, and finally becoming a deep imprint, and a majestic dragon-shaped badge took shape on Xia Yu's forehead.

The badge is only the size of a thumb nail, but the texture is very clear, and it looks exactly like the badge, a dragon elephant with a perfect body and sitting proudly!

The dragon elephant has a golden body with silver strange patterns, a head like a bird, three and a half pairs of arc-shaped horns on the forehead, a body like a lion squatting, and the elephant's tail is drawn out in the air.

The silver light slowly gathered up, and finally completely converged in the mark on Xia Yu's forehead, and Xia Yu and the old man slowly fell towards the ground.

After the old man sat down, as if he had exhausted all his strength, the oil lamp on the black wooden table was also dim for a while, and it almost went out.

Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly came over to help the old man.

"Xiaoyu, wake up the clan king first, I want to bring the people to worship!"

"Clan Grandpa, your body ......" Xiaoyu looked at the clan elder with red eyes, "You take a rest first......"

The old man shook his head slowly, "I'm about to run out of oil, and the lamp is going to run out, you see that oil lamp, it has been with me all my life, and it's finally going to burn out...... Silly boy, don't cry, I can welcome the king of the clan before I die, and die without regrets......"

Xiaoyu raised her hand and carefully ** on Xia Yu's face who was lying flat, and a tumbling mist was injected into Xia Yu's head, and Xia Yu was suddenly awakened by a cool touch.

The old man in front of him surprised Xia Yu, his body seemed to have shrunk by half compared to just now, and now he was only a few inches tall!

Xiaoyu respectfully held the old man with both hands, and said to Xia Yu: "Big brother, the clan boss wants to announce your identity, you can come with us......"

Xiaoyu's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried.

Xia Yu could also see that this old man seemed to be about to die soon.

With a long sigh, Xia Yu followed Xiaoyu out of the palace.

The palace was built on top of a hill with a vast flat field in front of it, and now, a large group of people stood on it.

At the front were Terrance and a giant like him, and the people in the back were about the same height as Xia Yu, all of them looked like ordinary people, and people with short stature like the old man were only the one in Xiao Yu's hands.

"Clan Boss!" the dense crowd knelt down towards the old man in Xiaoyu's palm.

"My Dragon Elephant countrymen, get up!" the old man's voice came out steadily, and it was hard to imagine that his small body could make such a loud voice, "Can you recognize the badge on this person's forehead? This is the symbol of my Dragon Elephant Country—the royal family badge! This is the new clan king, why don't you pay homage soon!"

The people who had just stood up knelt on the ground again, leaving Xia Yu at a loss for what to do.

"The clan king will lead the people of the dragon elephant back to their homeland according to the prophecy, and you will follow the clan king to witness everything!" The old man roared angrily, "You obey the orders of the clan king, this is an order from the clan elder, you can know ......"

As soon as the old man's words fell, a dazzling flame lit up on the palace behind him, and then he saw the old man's body slowly expanding, and the flame gradually attached to the old man.

The old man was like a huge god of war covered in flames, growing taller and taller in mid-air, exuding endless light.

For some reason, the brighter the light on the old man's body, the stronger the bad feeling in Xia Yu's heart.

While......

The melodious bell rang, and the light on the old man's body gradually dimmed, and then began to collapse in the air.

"Clan Boss!" Terrance clearly understood what was happening, their esteemed Clan Elder had died!

When all the light was gone, the old man disappeared completely from heaven and earth.

The bell rang nine times, and there was no room for endless echoes.

The people below often knelt down and wept in honor of their elders.

Xiaoyu was the saddest crying, Xia Yu was closer to her, and she could hear it clearly, and her crying was the loudest.

"Lord Clan, Lord Clan, Elder Immortal Immortal Death, Last Words Before His Death, Lord Clan King will lead me and others, and hope that the King of the Clan will save me is equal to suffering, and lead us back to our homeland!"

"Lord Wang of the Wang clan leads us to wait, and Lord Wang of the Wang clan leads me to wait ......"

Terrance's proposal was met with immediate approval, and he shouted.

"Terrance, you come in with me, I have something to tell you!" Xia Yu pointed at Terrance and said loudly.

"I'm going to discuss matters with the clan king, and you are going to prepare for the funeral of the clan lord as soon as possible. Terrance commanded, and the crowd dispersed.

After entering the palace, Xia Yu spread his hands and said to Terrence: "First of all, I have said many times, I am not your clan king!

"Whether the adults agree or not, you are our clan king, these are the last words of the clan elder. ”

Xia Yu really has nothing to say about Terrance's brainlessness.

"If you think so, I can't help it. Now can you tell me where the hell are you from?"

"We are the remnants of the Dragon Elephant Country, and the clan elder was once the prophet of the Dragon Elephant Kingdom's royal family. Terrance said gloomily, clearly saddened by the death of the elder.

"Okay, even if what you say is true, then do you know where the homeland of the Dragon Elephant Kingdom is?"

"Everything depends on the guidance of the king......"

"I know what a fart! I haven't even heard of your Dragon Elephant Kingdom, let alone where your Dragon Elephant Kingdom is located!" Xia Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

"Lord Clan, since the Clan Elder said that you would lead us back to our homeland, then there must be a reason for him, and his prophetic skills have never gone wrong!"

Prophet?

Xia Yu was noncommittal to Terrence's words, "The funeral of the clan elder or something, I don't understand, you can arrange it yourself, I just want to know, how to get out of here?"

"Lord Clan, we are trapped here, and it is up to you to rescue us......"

Xia Yu scolded secretly, I will save you, who will save me!

"How did those people who came in before, how did they leave?" Xia Yu suddenly thought of these crucial questions, "You should have also gone to see them, right?"

"Yes, we have scouts everywhere, but we wouldn't have casually approached those people unless the clan elder instructed us to do so!"

"You mean to say that your people have never touched them?" Xia Yu looked at Terrance in surprise, trying to confirm from his face if he was lying, "Not a single one?"

"Of course not!" Terrance was extremely dissatisfied with Xia Yu's distrust, and couldn't help but raise his voice, "They can't survive the weather changes in the Polar Region, whether it's the Heavenly Fire or the Cold Ice, none of them can survive it, and then they will all disappear into the Heavenly Fire and Cold Ice." ”

"Wait, what are you talking about......" Xia Yu vaguely grasped the key point, "Did you say that they never stayed inside until the full weather change?"

"No, their disappearances were bizarre and sudden...... Their supplies were still there, and when the ice and fire passed, the people disappeared out of thin air......"

Xia Yu was distraught, Terrance said that the people sent out by the principal never stayed for more than a day, while the principal said that these people usually stayed for less than two days...... What went wrong?

Or is Terrance lying in order to keep Xia Yu?

The expression on the big fat man's face is serious, and of course the liar usually doesn't make it obvious that they are lying.

"Okay, let's leave this matter aside for now, let's talk about what you're trapped in......

"Didn't the clan elder tell you?" Terrance looked even more surprised than Xia Yu.

"Should he tell me this?"

"Maybe it's because there's not enough time......" Terrance sighed, and when he sent Xia Yu over, he noticed that the clan elder was even weaker than last time.

"This is the only place in the Polar Region that will not be invaded by ice and heavenly fire, and as for the reason, even the clan elder has not found out. But lately, people have been dying from ice and fire, and it's within our station!"

"The clan elder used prophetic skills to spy on the future, and he said that this place is no longer safe, and only by finding a way out of here can we survive!

"That's all?" Xia Yu asked rhetorically, "Does your underground passage connect the entire Polar Domain?"

"The underground passage is not dug by us, but has always existed, as for the coming, I am afraid that only the clan elder knows! Although it can reach everywhere, it cannot avoid the fire and ice of the sky, so when the weather changes, our people must retreat here in time, and the only drawback of the underground passage is that it will make the people on the ground hear the footsteps, which is why when the weather changes, you will hear the footsteps above. ”

Xue Ya obviously told Xia Yu that they were looking for the owner who had made the footsteps, but Terrance said that they had never shown up to meet Xue Ya and the others.

Everything seemed like a huge mystery, and the more information Xia Yu gave, the more confused he became.

"How deep is the underground passage, and how can you hear such light footsteps on the ground?"

"That's where it's strange about us, no matter how small our movements are, that people on the ground can hear our footsteps, and only during that time, and not at all. ”

Weird, what a weird event!

"Our situation right now is that it's getting more and more dangerous, the ice and the fire are about to fall here, and we can't get anywhere to go. Xia Yu said, his head spinning rapidly.

"We've explored almost the entire Polar Domain, and this is the only place where we can hide from the fire and ice. Terrance said gloomily, "These few times the ice and heavenly fire will pour out from the sky and somewhere underground, harming the people of the Dragon Elephant Country......

"Have you really explored the entire Polar Domain?" Xia Yu seemed to have caught something, "Then have you ever seen such a place, surrounded by small hills, En...... From above, the image of these hills resembles a human face......"

"We've never found a place like that...... Terrance shook his head and said, "Lord Clan, you rest here first, we're going outside to cut down the Cave Cloud Tree for the funeral of the Clan Boss......"

"Why don't I go with you......" Xia Yu said, "I'll contact the people outside by the way to see if I can get more information." ”

Back on the ground, it's still warm spring, drizzling and sunny.

Terrance and the others regard the Cave Cloud Tree as a miracle in the Polar Domain, a kind of divine tree that they admire very much, they usually don't cut down the Cave Cloud Tree, and only people with a respected status like the clan elder can use the Cave Cloud Tree to hold funerals, and everyone else is not qualified.

Even if it is for the funeral of the clan elders, if they want to cut down the Dongyun Tree, they must go to a very distant place to cut it, because the citizens of the Dragon Elephant Kingdom firmly believe that the Dongyun Tree has been protecting them, so they would rather travel long distances to find the Dongyun Tree in a distant place than cut down the Dongyun Tree near their residence.

The Dongyun tree is a very amazing tree species. Not only can it remain intact after the fire and ice, but it can also sprout again when the warm spring comes, and the only thing that can knock it down is drought.

The Cave Cloud Tree usually dies after not surviving the drought, which is why there are no plants in the entire Polar Region during the drought, and in the other three seasons, the Cave Cloud Tree always stands proudly.
