"You asked these trees to help you get the word across?" I asked, looking curiously at the trees that were still dancing.

"Yes," Qi Yan landed firmly on the ground, "There are two advantages to using a big tree as an attachment object: one is that it is easy to communicate, and the other is that it is well-informed. Wherever there are trees, there is his eyeliner. This kind of lonely spirit can be considered terrifying. It is not easy for him to escape the Lord and stay here comfortably. ”

"The Lord will keep all the spiritual things that are good for him?" I asked.

"That's right, the best way to destroy your enemy is to make him submit to you, and you can increase your own power without spending a single soldier. Of course, there are fish that slip through the net. If we can gather all these powerful fish that have slipped through the net with us, we will have the strength to stand up to the Lord. Qi Yan said.

"Actually, you've been trying to overthrow the Lord, haven't you?"

"I just haven't been able to really do it, so to speak. What's the use of not being able to do it? ”

Qi Yan's eyes dimmed, and a trace of melancholy that was not easy to catch flashed through his clear eyes. He stood there with his head down, and I suddenly felt that he was very thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

I stepped forward and hugged him tightly, I didn't want to see him unhappy, I just wanted to try my best to spread my warmth and love to him. That's all I can do.

"Hey, hey, hey! Did you call me all the way here just to see you show your affection? ”

A disgruntled voice exploded from behind us.

I turned around, and before I could see who it was, a white fluffy ball threw itself into my arms.

"Yaya! You're waiting for me! I cried out in surprise and touched her gently, and she licked my face with her wet tongue with joy.

"Hey, hey, hey! Why don't you give me a look! I'm the boss who came with this hairball that always likes to move! Xiaoshu said again, and the two eyebrows took turns.

"Okay, okay, didn't I look at you? Are you alright? Was the injury serious at the time? ”

I didn't put it down, and turned my head to look at the tree. He did lie to me, he wasn't bald at all, but had flowing hair that was longer than mine.

But he is indeed suave, and has a very ethereal feeling. It's a pity that under the appearance of the male god is a **silk heart.

"It's good to get some sleep, I said I'm strong. Haha, it looks like your spiritual power has been restored and you can see it. Look at your eyes, are you fascinated by me! I'm handsome! Aha! ”

I shrugged and rolled my eyes.

Xiao Shu turned his gaze to Qi Yan and looked Qi Yan up and down. Qi Yan also smiled, and simply stretched his arm to let him see enough, as if he was going to the hospital for a check-up, turning around and raising his arm in a regular manner.

"Do you need me to take off my coat and let you have a good look inside? I remember it was an eight-pack ab. ”

Qi Yan made a gesture to take off his clothes, looking indifferent.

"Hey, hey, hey! You! There's a woman here! ”

I protested first.

"Ahem, there's no need," Xiao Shu waved his hand and continued to look at Qi Yan, "You are the lonely spirit that this little girl wants to find in the Dead Forest?" ”

"Obviously."

"You also asked the big tree to call me over?"

"That's nature, how could she be so stupid as she could have imagined it."

I wanted to step on Qi Yan hard, but I didn't want Qi Yan to dodge lightly, but I almost fell down. I had to curse silently in my heart.

"What did you ask me to do?"

"I should be asking you, why did you make that agreement with Yishi?"

"I'm bored to pass the time, you know, it's rare to meet a talking creature after being alone in a tree for so long." Xiaoshu shook his body and said informally.

"If it's just boring, why make such a formal engagement. You should know the rules of the spirit world better than anyone else. ”

There was no smile on Qi Yan's face.

"It's just hair, and it's not about her life. Why be so nervous. Xiaoshu gradually suppressed his laughter.

"I'm afraid that in the end, it's not just about hair." Qi Yan's voice dropped to freezing.

There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

I hurriedly stood between the two of them and stretched out my hand: "Wait a minute! You're not going to fight, are you? The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, but sits down and talks about something. ”

"First, I'm not a gentleman, and second, this matter is non-negotiable." Qi Yan's eyes were still looking straight at Xiao Shu, and his tone was cold.

"So what do you want to do? You also know that once an agreement has been concluded, it is impossible to withdraw it. Xiaoshu said.

"But the forces of agreement can cancel each other out."

"Interesting, you want me to make a second contract?" Xiaoshu raised his eyebrows very high.

"Excuse me, can anyone explain......" I had to interject.

"The power of an agreement is great, but if another agreement is concluded before one agreement is completed, the previous agreement will automatically be invalid by default." Qi Yan said.

It dawned on me.

"It's not that simple," Xiaoshu unceremoniously interrupted my repeated nods, "Reciprocity has always been the most important rule in the spirit world. This is naturally the case. ”

I stared at the tree, waiting for him to continue.

"Not only is the second agreement far more advanced than the first agreement, but the cost of breach of contract will be thousands of times greater, and this agreement cannot be revoked." Xiao Shu's eyes flashed with a cold cold light.

"A thousand times heavier?" I opened my mouth wide in surprise, "What would be the price of a thousand times heavier than death?" ”

"Life and physical pain are always the lightest price, and you will understand later." Xiaoshu said lightly, his eyes became blurred, as if he remembered something.

The pain of life and the flesh is actually the least cost...... I looked at the little tree in a daze, and then at Qi Yan. I can't help but think of the Dead Forest, that horrible place. Yes, it is not some great power that really defeats these invincible spirits, but only illusions, illusions from their inner demons.

Obviously, spiritual creatures are the most powerful life forms in the world, but I feel that they are so fragile at the moment.

What is it that has sustained them for thousands of years? What does it feel like when time is infinitely stretched out, and everything can be delayed indefinitely......

"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this at all, isn't it just hair......" I muttered quietly, but Qi Yan glared back fiercely.

"You can offer whatever you want, and my offer is to help us defeat the Lord." Qi Yan said, her hair moving slightly in the wind, and the fragments under her eyes shimmered.
