She leaned quietly on my shoulder, as if trying to remember my taste, sniffing every now and then, and rubbing her face on my shoulder.

I didn't speak from beginning to end, enjoying the silence.

The temperature in the woods is getting hotter.

The pillars of fire that appeared at the beginning seemed to break through the sky, but now there were seven or eight more, and the cracks in the ground also tended to expand, becoming much wider than they had been at the beginning.

The magma lurking in the cracks gradually became brighter, and even looked a little dazzling.

Under the light of these fires, the whole forest seems to be transformed into a world of fire.

At this time, I didn't dare to slack off, for fear that this matter would quickly develop to the point where it could not be ended, so I also ran slowly.

From the place where I met the sixth master to the destination, I ran with her on my back for just over a minute, and soon arrived at the so-called source.

"Fuck, this formation is big enough......."

Seeing all this in front of me, I have to say that I just think that the old religion doesn't move, and I really like to play big moves when I move.

If she hadn't confirmed that this was the source, I might have mistakenly thought I was in the wrong place.

It's no different from any other place, except for the charred corpses everywhere, there's nothing strange to see.

But as far as these corpses are concerned, enough to shock me.

There were thirty charred corpses, and I was absolutely not mistaken, I counted them one by one.

Not only that, but these corpses are not from foreign gentlemen, it is very likely that they are from the Old Religion, as for how did I recognize them...... You can be sure from your clothes and posture, right?

It's really weird.

The corpses were all kneeling on the ground, with their hands folded in a circle, and that posture was definitely not made out of force, but from the heart...... Even though they were dead bodies, I could feel their devotion when they were alive.

They were all dressed in the robes of the Old Religion, and many of the same bronze ornaments hung around their necks.

It stands to reason that the robes of the Old Religion only look strange, but they are actually items of the afterlife, and they are the most ordinary materials, so I don't think they can withstand the burning of the flames.

These robes...... It is very likely that the deceased was burned to death, and waited for the flames on his body to be extinguished, and then put it on.

"If these dead bodies are really Old Christians....... So how did they die? I frowned, seeing this strange scene, my scalp was also a little numb: "Killed by those gusts?" Eaten back? ”

"It's not."

When she spoke, she did not jump off my back, but leaned on my shoulder, as if she were talking in a dream, and muttered in a voice.

"This is a method of living sacrifice, they were burned to death by their own people, and they did not resist, they were all willing to sacrifice themselves for the king of the black robe........"

"Damn, it's really a cult......." I gritted my teeth, although these are all old sect gentlemen, no matter how you count them, they are also on the opposite side of me.

But in the final analysis, they are all future generations, and old creatures like the black-robed king are our real enemies.

Dedicated to a monster living in the deep space of the starry sea....... Is it fucking worth it?

"These people are really scary, frighteningly religious." She sighed, and seemed to sigh with some emotion: "In the eyes of the black-robed king, the people of the future world are all food or dispensable creatures, not even pets, let alone real followers, those dependents?" ”

"What do you mean....... The black-robed king doesn't take the future generations seriously at all? I asked tentatively.

"That's pretty much it." She smiled bitterly and said: "What kind of virtue is the black-robed king, you don't need me to say that you also know that in the old days, in order to fill its stomach, it could even kill its own followers and dependents, do you think what will happen to these followers who are future generations?" ”

As she spoke, she sighed deeply, leaned her head on my shoulder, and whispered, "This is really too stupid, even if it is to follow the Sand Body, there is no need to follow the Black Robe King." ”

"Maybe they like it." I sighed.

I walked up and looked left and right, and I only felt that this so-called source was well hidden, at least I really didn't feel where it was.

But I can probably guess that.

These dead bodies, kneeling on the ground with folded hands that appear to be praying, are formed in a circle.

In the center of this circle should be the so-called source.

"You can't see it, can you?" She asked me with a smile.

"I can't see it, I can't feel it." I whispered, "Is it underground?" ”

She hummed, without much explanation, and suddenly jumped off my back and walked to the center of the circle.

In the process, I noticed that her body had become much more transparent than before, and there was a tendency to become translucent.

This is not a good sign.

Since the Immortal King left the afterlife, its body has collapsed, and so has its soul, and naturally, its power cannot survive in the world.

She is dependent on the power of the undead king to maintain the form of a remnant soul, and now that the undead king is gone, it is remarkable that she has been able to survive until now.

I know it won't be long before she disappears from this world, but .......

"What are you doing stupidly?" She asked with a puzzled face, seeing that I stood outside the circle for a long time and didn't move, I just looked at her stupidly, which also confused her: "Are you uncomfortable?" ”

"Nope." I coughed dryly, pretended to be calm, and walked towards her: "I just feel that this place is quite secret." ”

She squatted down with a smile and gently covered the ground with her right palm.

Wisps of green lines that glow softly like silk threads appear from her palms as if blown by the wind, and begin to coil around her palms again.

The number of these lines is not much, that is, a dozen or so, but they seem to be able to extend indefinitely, from the length of chopsticks at the beginning, to the length of nearly four or five meters.

They are like wildflowers swaying in the night wind, their movements are very gentle, and even if they touch each other, they will separate in the next second, and there is no sign of entanglement with each other.

It wasn't until they stretched to nearly ten meters long that they stopped stretching and turned around, plunging headfirst into the ground.

"What are these things?" I couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The breath left by the ancients." She smiled and said, "Without my help, I guess you won't be able to turn over this soil." ”

At the same time, the lines that emitted a soft green light had all sunk into the ground, as if they had been drilled into the ground, and I could feel something drilling or wriggling under the three-foot loess.

"Don't do that!! Let me try it first!! ”

Finding that her body was becoming more and more unstable, and that it flickered from time to time, my heart also rose to my throat, and that indescribable fear enveloped me in an instant.

Nine times out of ten, these powers that she exerted were left in her body by the Immortal King, and they were also an important factor in supporting the stability of her body......

"Time is running out....... If you don't hurry....... They have to devour all the ancient qi in a hundred miles...... It's going to be a sea of fire......."

She smiled, and the smile on her face was as innocent as a child's.

"Don't you want to save this forest? I can help you! ”

The tone in which she said this was exactly the same as Chen Qiuyan.

I can feel that she is saying this from the heart, no matter what I want to do, maybe she will hold this attitude and help me unconditionally.

"Help!" I ran to her in a hurry and grabbed her arm: "You're crazy, aren't you??! I don't want you to disappear sooner than this forest!! ”

"But...... But sooner or later, I'm going to disappear. She looked up at me, and there was a little helplessness hidden in her bright smile: "Instead of disappearing by myself, I might as well do more for you and make the best use of it." ”

I gritted my teeth, only to feel a little trembling in my body, the emotions were very complicated, I couldn't tell whether I was angry or uncomfortable, and my heart was panicked.

"Although I am the same person as her, our memories are different, and we are all independent and have our own ideas......." she smiled softly.

Along with her laughter, cracks in the ground that shimmered green also appeared.

"I hope you treat her well, and I hope you ......"

She didn't say the rest of the words, because her body could no longer support it, and it was much more serious than the translucent state.

"Don't talk about it."

I whispered, my voice trembling slightly.

"I don't want you to die."

She smiled and didn't speak, but her body became more and more transparent, and the cracks on the ground gradually began to increase......
