Chapter 60: The Eighth Statue
That little emerald green is not much brighter than a firefly, but the whole exudes a crystal clear light, which is eye-catching-
"This is my seed, please take it to a safe place and plant it!"
The 'Tree of Life' said.
"Like any other plant?"
Ye Qi looked at the seed in his palm where the light had dissipated, and subconsciously asked—if it weren't for the 'Tree of Life' personally saying that this was its seed, Ye Qi would never have believed that this seed, which looked no different from an ordinary seed, would actually be the seed of the 'Tree of Life'.
"It's the same!"
The 'Tree of Life' that gave away its own seeds once again changed back to its mechanical, dull appearance, and it reminded Ye Qi: "Complete your plan, I don't have much time to support - you have the key to that box, right?" ”
"Hmm!"
After digging the seed into the pocket, Ye Qi nodded, and walked briskly towards the stairs made entirely of branches—near the end, a black box loomed; According to his contractor, this chest should be what he was looking for: the relics of the gods.
Or rather: Pandora's Box.
Pandora's Box that can only be opened by the Key of Doom.
There are quite a few legends on this box, each of which is not too beautiful, and some are even embarrassing; And now Ye Qi is standing in front of this box, taking out the key to doomsday and slowly inserting it into the keyhole - those legends, Ye Qi knows the Tao very well, even some Lorantes don't know the Tao, he also knows the Tao; But. It's just a matter of knowing the way.
As for whether it will happen?
Ye Qi turned the key at this moment. Suffice it all to say.
Click!
In the sound of a spring-like turning. A bump and crack appeared in Pandora's box, which was tightly sealed—and with this bump and gap, some obscure aura suddenly appeared in Ye Qi's perceptual range; Obviously, it was the Pandora's Box that completely covered up these breaths, and once it was opened, everything became obvious.
Ye Qi opened the box, and did not make the kind of screeching sound that the utensils lacked the necessary maintenance. Everything was so silent—the statue of his fellow pact was in the right place in the box, and Ye Qi saw the ultimate purpose of his trip the moment he opened it.
However, outside of this statue, there are three other things in the box that Ye Qi pays attention to-
A palm-sized shield, a thing that looks like a spindle, but does not have a silk thread, and the last one, which is also the most attractive to Ye Qi, is an unusually beautifully carved sterling silver object: a round of Xuanyue is firmly held in mid-air by an octagonal frame, the looming silk thread. It's like the moon in the night sky.
And almost after taking the three items in his hands, Ye Qi was already able to determine. These three things are all immortal keys, especially the immortal key with the Xuanyue statue, and the aura emitted is almost indistinguishable from the immortal key left by the Sun King.
Obviously, this is what is called a windfall.
However, Ye Qi was not carried away by the surprise, he transferred the three things, along with the Pandora Box in front of him, into the [Advanced Dimensional Bag] - for this Pandora's Box, even if no one reminded him, he knew that this was a rare item, even if he could only hide the aura of some special items, it was also a good thing for Ye Qi.
[Item Mana Statue disappears, all stats +1]
[Gain Special Specialty: King's Potential]
[King's potential: You were born to be so different, when you argue with others, you will gain the convincing of others, and when disaster occurs, your appearance will bring unimaginable courage to others; And when you appear in front of the enemy, they will be shocked and flee in fear; And to do better, all you need is a crown ......]
When Ye Qi put the rest of the items into the [Advanced Dimension Bag], the system gave such a hint; Undoubtedly, the improvement of all attributes is extremely rare for Ye Qi, especially after his attributes enter the legend and immortality, any change is a substantial improvement, not to mention an all-round improvement.
And in fact, such a comprehensive ascension, he had only enjoyed it once in the palace where the thousand-year-old heroic spirit was located.
It can be seen that the statues obtained this time are definitely not ordinary - according to his contract companion, the remaining two statues are 'Horn' and 'Wing'.
The former represents the crown and the latter represents the scepter.
Judging from the special specialty of [King's Potential], which he is somewhat unsure of, it is clear that the acquisition is the former; However, no matter which one it is, it is good news for Ye Qi and the strange wolf; After all, they put down another chip on the scales of real victory.
"Good job, boy!"
The long-lost lazy voice came from the bottom of Ye Qi's heart, which made Ye Qi slightly stunned, and then Ye Qi said coldly: "Are you ready to pay off my bet?" ”
Although he knew that the other party was in the sealed land, the feeling of not being able to communicate with the other party made Ye Qi quite uncomfortable, especially when he encountered tricky problems several times, which made Ye Qi miss the situation when his contract companion stood behind him and supported him; However, when he thought of the other party's rogue behavior, such nostalgia suddenly turned into more anger.
Therefore, the greeting of 'reunion after a long absence' has become Ye Qi's most straightforward debt collection.
"This, this, of course!" The strange wolf vaguely promised, "But now is not the time for us to say this, if you don't want to stay here as a burial object, get out of here!" ”
Ye Qi reacted immediately to the strange wolf's reminder, but as soon as he turned around, he stopped before he could take a step out of his legs, and asked in his heart: "Do you have a way to make ......?"
"Nope!"
Before Ye Qi's words were finished, the strange wolf shook his head with a sigh - of course it knew what its contractor wanted to say, but at this moment. There's really no way around it.
"If it was in my heyday. I was also able to do a few things as best I could. But...... Now I, once I stretch out my hand, you and I will become funeral objects! ”
Although he felt a little embarrassed, in the face of his contractor, the strange wolf still spoke up.
"Is that so......"
Ye Qi was silent—in fact, in Ye Qi's mind, he had always thought that when his contract companion reappeared, all the problems in front of him would be solved. But he forgets that even his contract companion is not omnipotent, even if the other party is God, but who can say that God is omnipotent?
If it was really omnipotent, his contract companions would not have been sealed, not to mention, under his sword, were there still few dead gods?
"Didn't it give you a seed? That would be another hope! ”
The strange wolf reminded his contractor.
"Can it be reborn?"
Ye Qi was stunned and immediately asked.
"Of course, the existence of the 'Tree of Life' is not a ubiquitous cabbage, and naturally there are some peculiarities - although it takes a lot of time. But that's still its hope! ”
The strange wolf replied angrily.
And after receiving an affirmative answer from his contract companion, Ye Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief - as long as it was not real death. Then everything will have a chance to start all over again.
"Your Excellency, I'm leaving now—I'll keep my promise to you and plant your seed!"
Ye Qi stood at the end of the stairs, saying goodbye to the 'Tree of Life'.
"Thank you, thank you......"
The 'Tree of Life' replied with some discomfort.
And in this thank-you, Ye Qi disappeared into the 'door' that could not be seen with the naked eye with the bones of knights and birdmen.
The Land of Ragnarok, after Ye Qi and his party disappeared, immediately fell into silent silence, until a breeze blew - the branches and leaves of the 'Tree of Life' began to fall with such a breeze, and the yellow and green leaves represented the final traces of life.
The branches and canopies of the trees, with their own tenacity, spread to a higher place, to show the traces of their existence.
The wind became stronger and stronger, and when the branches of the trees at the height suddenly broke, a 'squeak' brought out as if it was a moan at the end of the day.
And such moans, more and more intensive, until ...... Stunned.
Like a tall figure standing up to the sky, it has lost its breath of life, and that wisp of will will will also dissipate with the wind.
Black, extremely rich black, appeared here out of thin air, and began to devour everything, including the last wisp of will—even if there was pain in the memory, but this wisp of will was still with reluctance and attachment, and it was saying goodbye to itself.
"Seeds of Hope...... Ye Qi, Xie Luxie! ”
The voice of the 'Tree of Life' is still dull and mechanical, as if it were constructing life, but the feelings contained in it are so sincere.
With gratitude for the 'tree of life' with the most profound words, he calmly faced the darkness in front of him.
It's ready.
Death, for its special plant, at this time, is really nothing - after reluctance and attachment, all obsessions begin to dissipate.
The sense of relief makes it so relaxing.
It's just that, sometimes, accidents always happen-
A slender, white palm appeared out of thin air in front of the darkness, like a disgusted torso fly, and suddenly, the darkness seemed to be frightened and quickly receded.
The owner of the palm gathered the will of the 'Tree of Life' in the palm of his hand, examined it carefully, and then let out a soft laugh.
"Mother, mother...... Who are you? ”
The 'Tree of Life' felt the breath on the palm of its hand, and the familiarity and warmth of that moment gave it an illusion; However, even if it recovers, it should be treated with due respect—whether it is the other person's helping hand or the level of strength it shows.
"I won't tell you!"
In the voice of the owner of the palm, a touch of naughtiness unexpectedly appeared, and then, he put the will of the 'Tree of Life' in his pocket, and the whole person jumped into the air, and his beautiful posture was like the 'Night King's Saucer in the dark', fleeting, and disappeared in place.
And it was only after the owner of the palm had disappeared for a long time that the darkness reappeared and was tempted for a long time. Only then did it begin to devour the collapsing plane again.
Afterwards. Everything is nothing.
……
The light in front of me dissipated. When Ye Qi reappeared, he was already standing on the floating platform of the bridge on the other side that belonged to the coffin of the underworld.
"Your Excellency!"
Shadow Knights Nos. 2 to 10 get down on one knee and greet Ye Qi's return; At the same time, their gaze began to scan the knight and birdman skeletons.
Similarly, the skeletons of the knights and birdmen who had left the Land of Ragnarok were also scanning the surroundings, especially when they saw the shadow knights, and the knight had a clear puzzled look, obviously wondering about the existence of these shadow creatures. As for the birdman bones? Its attention is on a much broader scale.
Undoubtedly, the existence of the bridge on the other side makes it quite curious.
"One, you continue to be responsible for their absorption of negative energy here, and then, go inform Darlan and Ava!"
After summoning Shadow Knight No. 1 from the shadows, Ye Qi commanded.
"Yes, sir!"
Shadow Knight No. 1 replied respectfully, and then, like the surrounding Shadow Knights, all of them turned into shadows and disappeared in front of Ye Qi.
"That shadow creature is special!"
The knight who had been watching Shadow Knight One. "He's different from ordinary shadow creatures, and has already begun an unknown promotion......"
"I know. They're not them anymore, am I clear enough? ”
Ye Qi faced the knight's reminder and replied very dryly.
The knight listened to Ye Qi's rhetorical question, and remained silent once again - it was clear that it understood that it did not need to be reminded of anything, everything was in the hands of the man in front of him.
After glancing at it, Ye Qi stood in place and quietly waited for his friends to arrive, of course, during which he sorted out his harvest a little.
Those immortal keys and Pandora's boxes naturally go without saying.
However, there are still some unexpected gains -
[SS+ Mission: Hunting Gods and Demons; hunt ten gods and demons who should have a priesthood; 3/10.】
This was the highest-level task in Ye Qi's quest bar, and it was also the task that he was not sure to complete at the beginning - the change in mission level was obvious enough.
Ye Qi has a lot of speculation about how to go from S+ to SS level, or SS-mission.
However, when that series of migration missions appeared, Ye Qi gave up some of these unwise speculations - it was obvious that the missions related to the great changes in a complete plane, or even the changes, did not break through to the SS level, then everything was naturally obvious.
SS-level missions undoubtedly exist, but if they want to be triggered, then they have to change the life and death of the entire plane with an almost mortal attitude; It's like the mission he triggered to hunt gods and demons when he wasn't even at the Solar level; And with his current immortal-level strength, if he wants to start an SS-level mission, it is obvious that this difficulty is not ordinary.
Even, if he could, Ye Qi didn't want such a task to appear.
Because, once it appears, then it will definitely destroy the entire Lorante plane or even several complete planes - as long as it is not a mad existence, you know how to choose.
However, Ye Qi also knows that some things will not change at all because of the change of human will.
The natural feeling of powerlessness once again made Ye Qi frown - and such unhappiness made Ye Qi quite naturally quite aware of the existence of some debts.
"What about my bets? When will it be returned? The deadline you decided on your own has arrived! ”
Ye Qi's gaze was withdrawn from the system bar that only he could see, and he asked someone in his heart.
"Of course, of course...... Didn't I say I'd give you some compensation? ”
The strange wolf agreed again and again, but his tone was vague, but the next moment, the strange wolf who thought of something immediately calmed down.
"What compensation?"
The change in the tone of the contract companion made Ye Qi frown - according to his understanding of the temperament of his contract companion, the other party's tone change was obviously that he had a firm grasp of one thing; And this is naturally not good news for him.
"Do you want to know the whereabouts of your teacher, and your teacher's friend?"
The strange wolf's tone suddenly became serious.
"Do you know the way?"
Ye Qi asked with a narrowed gaze.
"Before, I didn't know how to do it...... However, now I know that there are some clues! As long as you agree to a little more grace on that period, I'll tell you exactly as it is! ”
With the last sentence, the strange wolf's serious expression immediately disappeared without a trace, and became cunning.
"A little time, how much?"
Ye Qi was not surprised by the conditions of his contract companion - in fact, the other party's vague tone was enough to make Ye Qi understand what the other party thought; After all, most of the time, the other party will keep their promises, and if there is no accident, there will be no such appearance at all.
And for such conditions, when it comes to his teachers and profiteers, Ye Qi doesn't mind agreeing.
"Ten years?"
The strange wolf asked tentatively.
"I think you should pay off the bet you owe now!"
Faced with the time proposed by the strange wolf, the corners of Ye Qi's mouth twitched - ten years? According to their calculations, it would have been the end of the day.
Even if he was worried about his teachers and profiteers, Ye Qi would not agree to such a joking proposal.
"We can continue to discuss, discuss!"
Unmoved by Ye Qi's words, the strange wolf came up again with a hippie smile.
