As he spoke, a shallow smile appeared on Qi Yan's face.

I relaxed, Qi Yan is still my Qi Yan. Time has passed, so many people have come and gone, but Qi Yan has always stayed by my side and has not changed.

"What happens if the agreement between me and Xiaoshu can't be completed?" I asked Qi Yan in a whisper.

"It's your unilateral unfinished, so you'll have to pay the price, I guess it's your power. But maybe something else. Of course, there are exceptions," Qi Yan said, "and if either of the parties to the agreement dies, then the agreement is considered null and void." ”

My heart tightened, and I saw the sword shining with cold light in Qi Yan's hand, this time it was different from the time when I abandoned you, I could feel that Qi Yan had a murderous intent. Albeit as a last resort.

No, you can't make such a choice, there must be a way.

I turned to Xiaoshu and said sincerely, "Xiaoshu, to fulfill the agreement between us, you said that the lone spirit and the spirit tamer are different from humans, and they are very obedient to the agreement. Now that I'm back and you're fulfilling our promise, you can't cheat. ”

I held out my hand, and the imprint was hot on my arm, almost burning.

"Now, you only have two choices, either kill me or break the contract!"

Xiao Shu had made up his mind, and his tone was cold.

"You already have such superb spiritual power, why do you need my power? You should know that this power is equivalent to my life, and without it it is equivalent to my death! ”

"I'm different from you, I don't want to save the people, I don't want to reign in the world, only these trees have accompanied me for so many years, and everything else is fake, only these trees have accompanied me through the real years. Swapping your life for so many trees, I think you should feel worth it. ”

"These trees are so good, how can they need my spiritual power?" I don't understand.

"No," Qi Yan interrupted me, and looked up at the lush trees, "I also felt it in that big tree just now, these trees are in a state of extreme weariness, like hungry people who have not eaten for a long time, they are dying of death. ”

"But why is that?"

I stepped forward and put my hand on the trunk of one of the large trees. I could feel that the power in this tree was very weak, like a flickering candlelight, and it was in danger. I looked anxiously at Qi Yan, and then at the little tree, and for a moment I forgot that this little tree was a lonely spirit who wanted to take my life.

"The Lord has known of your existence and realized that you are a terrible threat to Him. He is now frantically absorbing the spiritual power in the spirit world, and the high-level spiritual objects will not be affected, but these low-level spiritual objects are afraid that they will not be able to escape this fate. In fact, I had long expected that there would be a day when the weak would eat the strong, and these low-level spiritual objects would inevitably become the fate of stepping stones for others. Xiaoshu sneered.

"In that case, you should join hands with us against the Lord, so that these great trees will be saved." I said firmly.

"Your idea is too naïve, Qi Yan loves you and is willing to play with you, but I am sober, and it is impossible for us to defeat the Lord. If you can succeed, why sacrifice so many high-level spiritual objects to no avail? Xiaoshu laughed mockingly.

But isn't it also said in the prophecy? I can defeat the Lord. "I don't have enough confidence to discern it, but in fact, I know it myself, and it is far from possible with me.

The little tree looked at me with a sad look: "It's like hitting a stone with an egg, rather than letting you die in vain, it is better to use your power to help these trees." ”

"If you believe that Yishi's power can save these trees, why don't you want to believe that her power can also save the entire spirit world?"

"Convinced?" Xiaoshu looked up to the sky and laughed, "It's not enough to just believe!" You have to see the reality clearly! You know exactly what the power of the Lord is, and defeating the Lord is a fantasy! ”

"Not only does Qi Yan believe in me, but he also believes in me! The whole Dead Sea Dead Forest believe me! I tried to exaggerate as much as I could, but I still felt a little weak.

"Abandonment? That madman? Don't tease me. And now you don't even believe in yourself, do you? The one who knows you best is actually yourself, right? You know best that you can't do it. ”

Xiao Shu's two thin lips closed one by one, and finally drew a mocking smile.

"You're not qualified to say that!" I suddenly became excited, I still couldn't control my emotions after so long, "I did it, I always did it!" From the time I groped through the darkness by myself, to the time I came to this place I didn't know anything about, and what happened to the Dead Forest and the Dead Sea afterwards, I have been making progress. I'm in control of my power now, I've done it! ”

Yaya struggled uneasily in my arms, and she rubbed me gently with her hairy body, trying to calm me down.

"Yishi, calm down, it's okay. It's all in the past, and it will be better in the future. Qi Yan looked at me worriedly.

I know that my mood swings are likely to bring about instability in strength. But is it because I am a child of darkness, and because this inexplicable identity is not my chosen identity at all, that I have to suppress myself like this, and I don't even have the right to vent my emotions?

"I know you're tired, but look at those trees, they may be more tired than you, but they're still holding on and not falling, maybe they're just waiting for you to save them." Qi Yan coaxed me like a child.

"You're tired too, shouldn't I always be like a kid and lose my temper." I'm a little ashamed.

"No, you're a kid. A child should be like a child. ”

Seeing that I was gradually calming down, Qi Yan turned to Xiaoshu and said, "Now it is the low-level spirit object that is threatened, then the middle-level spirit object will inevitably affect us in the end." And you know, the Lord will gather those high-level spiritual creatures with special abilities around him, the last one is me, so who will be next? ”

"Are you threatening me? I'm not afraid! As long as I can save these trees, I'm not afraid of anything. ”

"There was a fire at the city gate, and the fish in the pond were affected, do you think you can really save your tree? We think it's naïve and ridiculous to defeat the Lord yourself, so do you think it's sane that you can just save your tree? ”

Qi Yan forced Xiao Shu to look at him, forcing Xiao Shu to look into his eyes.

The little tree was silent, he lowered his head and thought about something.
