Chapter 5: The World Tree

As the oxygen became less and less, and her body was torn tighter and tighter, she suddenly remembered the extreme training she had received. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At the age of 10, she was caught in a heavy rock and thrown into the deep sea.

The oxygen plant only lasted for two hours, during which she had to break free from the heavy rocks while avoiding the attacks of the deep-sea sharks and successfully return to shore.

Only two of the hundred children survived, and that was her and Desire.

Desire is to survive, and she doesn't want to die yet.

Now that I think about it, that's the difference between her and lust.

If you want to survive, you are willing to do anything, and you want to do everything.

She feels that life is a timely pleasure, and she will not forget to let herself enjoy while killing.

And Ash, just because he is alive, he doesn't want to die, so he blindly continues this life.

In her gradual confusion, she seemed to see a fish approaching at a rapid pace, and a round water ball.

The baby fish bit down on the object wrapped around Ash's body with its sharp teeth, and Nocisi kept emitting black balls the size of small water droplets, quickly corroding the object.

Soon ash fell from the winding, but she didn't have the strength to float any more.

Or rather, she's tired of it.

Nossi tugged at her sleeve desperately, tears welling up in her eyes.

The baby fish rested on her back and wagged its tail vigorously.

However, the ash continued to sink downward.

So be it... Let her sink in this cold water, and let her die quietly in the dark.

No more thinking, no more recalling, no more confusion about your own changes.

"Ash!"

Just as she closed her eyes, she suddenly remembered the voice of Pink Jingjing in her mind, like a stick on the head, which immediately made her sober up.

"You can't do that, we have signed a contract of equal sharing!"

"From now on, we will be a community of life! You are not allowed to hurt yourself again! ”

Pink Jingjing's soft and glutinous words echoed in her ears like a thunderbolt.

Oh, she can't die!

If she dies, so will Pink Jingjing!

Ash had never had such a strong desire to survive, and his eyes shone with a shocking light.

At this moment, a shining light split through the darkness of the pool, and Gray clearly saw countless transparent balls rushing towards her.

The elves on the shore have all gone into the water to save her!

The light elves and thunder elves all held hands and forced out their body magic to illuminate the entire waterhole. They blushed, but stubbornly refused to let go, turning their bodies into glowing light bulbs to guide the water elves on the way to the ashes.

The water elves chanted, over and over again, and blue light shot from their slender bodies to the ashes.

Ash could feel her breath slowly returning, and her body was floating with the help of a dozen wind elves.

The other elves all came to her side, pulling at her clothes, slapping their little feet, and trying to float harder. Among them is the bubble where Pink Crystal is, the little face wrinkled into an orange peel, but it looks indescribably cute in the gray eyes.

With the help of the elves and the baby fish, Ash finally rises to the surface and leaves the dark, sticky, and cold underwater!

The elves were tired, and even the baby fish was panting with half of their heads on the shore.

Pink Jingjing was stunned for a while, and suddenly a "wow" slammed into Ash's chest, which was as big as a hill for her.

"Wow wow, I thought you were going to die!"

"Woo woo, nasty ash, nasty, nasty!"

She cried as if she was taking the lead, and all the elves also sniffed. Some of the female elves sobbed, some cried, and the male elves had red eyes.

Helpless, I don't know how to comfort the crying Pink Jingjing.

She didn't feel the slightest feeling of pounding her little fist, but Ash felt that with her thrashing, a warm current slowly flowed into her heart, making her whole chest hot.

It's like eating a warm roasted potato in the winter that year, and my heart is satisfied and happy.

The coldness caused by the biting water disappeared without a trace.

It took a long time for Pink Jingjing to recover from crying, and her expression of being slightly confused and not knowing how to deal with it suddenly broke into a laugh.

The human she picked up was lonely and distressing. She must have no friends, so she doesn't know how to get along with others. She must have been very lonely, so she didn't like to talk and was cold to people. But it doesn't matter, since she picked her up, then she will definitely be responsible. In the future, she will follow her, teach her slowly, and change her slowly.

The simple and loving Pink Jingjing has already appeared in her mind to interpret the lonely childhood of Gray, and she can't help but feel more distressed, and she secretly makes up her mind to take good care of her.

When she looked up, she couldn't help but smile softly at Shang Gray, and a "thank you" made her blush.

Ash's thanks also made the elves stiffen all their bodies, and Nossisi's eyes burst out, and the baby fish closed his eyelids and sank into the water.

Ash was confused, thanking them for saving himself, shouldn't he say thank you? But judging by their performance, it seems that these two words should not be said.

As everyone knows, it is precisely because of the gentle expression she has never had that the elves are too amazing, and they fall into a dizzy white light one by one.

After Pink Jingjing's explanation, she learned that there was a strange plant growing in this black pool, like a kelp version of an octopus. This plant has a natural instinct to attack enemies who invade its own territory, and it does not recognize anyone except the baby fish born with it. So when it grows up, even the elves need to be accompanied by baby fish to dare to go down to the pool, and Ash is not only a stranger, but such a fast dive is obviously provoking its majesty.

When Ash found out, he intentionally wanted to build a training ground around Blackwater Pool.

Pink Jingjing didn't know that she wanted to use the water anemone to exercise her underwater ability, but happily flew around with a group of elves all day long, inspecting the fallen flowers and making beautiful decorations.

Ash made a few wooden stakes in the clearing near the waterhole to practice, but the next day she found that the wooden stakes were covered with garlands made by the elves, and at first she didn't know what to do, but then she learned to take them off carefully one by one, and then hung them one by one after training.

The elves could be seen wielding daggers and stabbing, chopping, and slashing at various parts of the stake, and after the initial surprise and fear, they soon accepted Ash's special method of exercise, and then came here with snacks and snacks to start a tea party.

Whenever Ash's training was over, Pink Jingjing would carry water and hand it to her, wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead with the softest leaves.

What is the most important thing about a killer? Nothing more than quick speed, a clear head and a means of killing.

Minds, Ash is not lacking, in fact she has a high IQ and a very cold temperament, enough to make the right judgment in any situation.

She is not short of speed, she is light and explosive, and the one hundred and fifty laps around the forest every day are not in vain.

As for the means of killing, it is the body that needs to remember.

In ancient martial arts, there are countless moves to kill, but they are just ridiculous gimmicks.

The real skill of killing lies in "brevity", yes, brevity.

The simpler the thing, the easier it is for people to grasp, and when people repeat the same action a thousand or ten thousand times a day, they will unconsciously make that action their habit.

Since Ash entered the organization, he has only been taught the four actions of stabbing, chopping, slashing, and poking for how to kill.

Practicing 10,000 times a day, hard work is her trick to getting ahead of other killers.

Just as a martial artist can't kill someone, but a footballer can kick someone to death, when an action becomes your instinct, its power will be infinitely magnified.

Now Ash is holding a dagger, practicing the movement of the thorn.

She held her right hand behind her back seventeen, her left hand was attached to her side, and her feet were firmly clasped on the ground.

Different from the conscious judagger stabbing, there is only one killing word in the gray head, and the dagger is "automatic" stabbing out, which has become a reflex of her body The action is extremely sensitive, and the speed of the shot is even more unimaginable, Pink Jingjing believes that no one can avoid the dagger in the gray hand!

A few fallen leaves that had been blown by the wind fell from the tree, and the gray eyes flashed, and three thorns quickly came out, only to see that the three leaves seemed to be intact, but when they fell to the ground, they were split in half.

"Ahh Seeing this scene, Fan Jingjing only felt a chill down her spine, and couldn't help but scream.

Faintly, she felt that she should not let Ash exercise like this anymore, and an inexplicable premonition made her uneasy. It seems that as the workout time grows, Ash will also leave her, like what will happen to Ash as she becomes more and more focused on workouts.

Knowing nothing more than to stop Ash, Pink Crystal flew off the head of the baby fish and rushed straight into Ash's waving dagger.

Under the exclamation of all the elves, the gray dagger could be stopped in front of Pink Crystal's closed eyes, and the distance was only a millimeter.

"It's dangerous." Gray said this flatly. But the large cold sweat on her forehead and the spasmodic right hand showed her difficulty in stopping the blow halfway.

Fan Jingjing was shocked, scared and distressed, and her nose was sour and she burst into tears.

"You're not allowed to practice anymore!"

"Why?"

"Why... Because..."

"Because... You're a girl, you can't learn to fight and kill all day long! ”

Thinking that she had found a good reason, Pink Jingjing became arrogant and beckoned Wendy to help Ash heal.

Nocisi also flew up nervously and asked Wendy, "Is her hand okay?" ”

"I'm fine." Ash rejected Wendy's magic, and instead placed an acupuncture point on his right forearm with his left hand, which immediately stopped the spasm of his right hand.

Noxisi was fascinated by Ash, but he couldn't prevent Pink Crystal from rushing in, and now when he saw Ash's arm spasms, he complained about Pink Crystal.

Pink Jingjing pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "I'm worried that the ash will disappear." ”

"Will someone of this size disappear?"

"No, no, I can't tell, anyway, I just feel that if Ash continues to practice like that, he will reach a place where we can't go, and I won't be able to see it again."

Nossi grabbed her head, and the elves looked at each other, but Ash somewhat understood what Pink Crystal meant.

In fact, just now, she seemed to be back in the organization in a trance, back to the boring training day after day, year after year. She remembered the orders of the instructor in her ear, and the classmates who were sent to hell by her own hands.

If she goes on like this, her mentality will inevitably return to the time she used to be, to kill without blinking, and to the self who has to kill people with cold bodies...

Fortunately... Luckily, Pink Jingjing interrupted her.

Ash found that in the life of the organization, the orders of the instructor were still ingrained in her mind.

She thought that this month's life in another world had made her gradually forget about the organization, but she didn't expect that it was still firmly rooted in the depths of her heart.

Her eyes darkened, and perhaps no matter where she went, for the rest of her life, she would not be able to escape the nightmare of the organization. This planet may not be long before it will be found by the organization.

It's just that she doesn't understand why she has the emotion of rejoicing, the emotion that she never had since she escaped from the tiger's mouth at the age of 3 is now filling her heart.

"Ash, Ash~~ Don't practice any daggers, let's go visit Grandpa the World Tree." Pink Jingjing tugged at the gray sleeves and pleaded.

"The world... Tree? ”

Another name she hadn't heard before, Nossi smiled and explained, "That's the patron saint of our village." ”

"Without the World Tree, Grandpa would not have us, and he has been protecting us."

"Yes, and Grandpa the World Tree is the most knowledgeable tree, although he likes to sleep, but we all like him."

Listening to Pink Jingjing's reminder, everyone realized that they had forgotten to introduce Ash to Grandpa World Tree, and they chattered one after another, shouting to take Ash to meet him.

The elves' world tree is the big tree that the elf village built around it, but he is often asleep, and when the elves call him, he wakes up.

Ash listened to the elves singing beautiful songs, and after a sound of branches shaking, an old face appeared on the trunk in front of her.

It was obviously the lines on the surface of the trunk, but it formed a pattern that resembled a human face, and then, where it looked like a mouth, Zhang Yihe actually began to speak.

"Good morning everyone."

"Hee-hee, it's already afternoon, Grandpa World Tree!" An elf laughed.

"Oh oh oh? Is it? Why do I think it's still very bright? ”

The elves laughed and flew to the trunk of the tree, rubbing against the face of the World Tree Grandfather, causing the World Tree to laugh.

The gray face was expressionless, but the heart was shocked.

Rao is that she has traveled all over the stars for the mission, and she has never seen such a strange creature.

"Hello, you're the human being that Pink Crystal said it was, Ash?"

Ash nodded, but there was wariness in his eyes.

She had encountered countless plants with lower intelligence, but all of them were highly poisonous!

"Hehe, don't be so vigilant, I am the World Tree, to be precise, a branch of the World Tree, you can call me the Grandpa of the World Tree."

From the story of the kind World Tree, Ash gradually learns the origin of the elf village.

The village wasn't here from the beginning, but a space carved out by the World Tree for the elves. It's just that this space didn't appear out of thin air, but the World Tree intercepted a part of the forest and brought it to another dimension, cultivated it, and eventually became this village.

If it takes half a month, you can basically get to the end.

It's just that the word space is gray, when technology develops to a certain point, it is possible to use multi-dimensional space to create new space, but it is the first time she has seen such a vivid space with living creatures.

As for how she came to this enclosed space, all the elves couldn't tell, and the World Tree was also sleeping, saying that they didn't know.

Ash thought she was nothing more than a wormhole crossing, passing through undetected unstable jump points, but in fact, she still didn't know that she had traveled through space to another world.
