The smell of patina penetrated into his nostrils, the dry air was full of dust, Su Qi opened his eyes, the light above his head was shaking, he moved his body with difficulty, and found that most of his body was buried in the pale yellow dust, he reached out and grabbed a cross-cut bronze pillar above his head, and jumped out of the sand with a slight force.

He shook the dust off his body, and with a slight movement of his mind, a bright light flew out of the sand and hung above his head.

He looked left and right, but he didn't see Anya's figure, and in front of him was a stale world.

The soil under the feet has been weathered, into porous dust, the wind gently rolled, it is full of dust, the smell of patina should come from a collapsed palace, but too long years swallowed up most of the palace, only the ruins and broken tiles collapsed in the sand, Su Qi rose into the air, and found that the ground was scattered with seven hundred and eighty bronze pillars, some of them were mostly buried in the soil, and some were erected upright in the sand, which was very widely distributed, from the scattered range of the bronze pillars, most of the bronze palaces were broken by people from the air, so these fragments would fly down so far and break so fragmented。

The world is full of sand.

There was no sun, but the light was abundant, and the temperature was very high, but of course it was much lower than the ember secret land, because it was too dry, the air was full of dust, and the steaming heat made the air slightly distorted, full of mirage-like unreality, on the left hand side of this ruin, there was a long sand dune, and on the right was an endless sandy soil, which could not be seen at all, and there was a huge black stone with potholes not far ahead.

Su Qi hesitated slightly, but still walked towards the black stone.

Because it's so conspicuous.

Su Qi has seen countless high mountains, some as high as thousands of feet, and he has also seen vast forests, but he has never seen such a huge pure stone, it is a hundred zhang high, close to spherical, and there are also half-buried in the sand, which are full of uneven pits, under the erosion of long-term dry wind and sand, these potholes are smooth and deep.

The black stone exudes an aura of mystery.

Somewhat familiar.

Su Qi raised his eyebrows, circled around the black stone for half a circle, and then jumped suddenly, flying above the black stone, he stared at it for a moment, and finally realized where this familiarity came from.

Boundary Road.

"This is the leftover material from the construction of the boundary road back then, of course, our race calls it the holy stone, but this piece has lost its spiritual power, the real holy stone is cyan, according to this waste stone has been placed here for millions of years. ”

A slightly dry and hoarse voice sounded in the distance, Su Qi raised his head, and Anya was flying from afar.

She had clearly wept, her face full of sadness and exhaustion.

"What is this place?"

Su Qi stood on the black stone, the world in front of him was lonely and quiet, even if the wind blew occasionally, it was silent.

"It's also a secret place, we call it Yongsha here, but all the valuable things here have been plundered, and there is nothing valuable now, so few people will come here," Anya also landed on the black stone, she glanced at Su Qi, and quickly turned her head, as if she didn't want Su Qi to see her face, "It's safe here, the people of the Qianluo clan shouldn't chase here, but let's take a break." It's best to leave as soon as possible. ”

She sat down on the black stone, took some food from the bone carving around her neck, and ate it with her mouth.

Anya sat like an abandoned young beast, full of loneliness.

Su Qi hesitated, sat beside her, and asked, "Grand Commander An Lan....... What do the last words mean?"

This made Su Qi very puzzled.

With the help of the soul carving power of the Nuoi clan, An Lan forcibly opened a crack, but she did not choose to leave by herself, nor did she send any of her soldiers away, only Anya and Su Qi were thrown out, and judging from An Lan's last sigh, Anya is obviously very important to the Nuoi clan.

Anya's hand paused, stiffened for a moment and then continued to tear the dried meat in her hand into strips, slowly handing it into her mouth, she was silent for a long time before she whispered, "In the Noi clan, the Grand Commander is not important, and the top soul carver like Elder Jing is not important, there is only one person who is really important, and that is Amma." ”

"Ama is different from all the tribesmen, his body is actually the mother tree of the Nuoi tribe, and it is also a sacred tree, in our biography, the ancestors of the Nuoi tribe were conceived on a mother tree, and all the Nuoi people also have the blood of the mother tree, and Ama is the incarnation of the mother tree, in a Nuoi tribe, there can only be one Ama at the same time, and he raised all the other tribesmen," Anya turned her head and looked at Su Qi, her big eyes had sadness that Su Qi couldn't understand," But when the Noi are in real crisis, or when Amma dies, another person will be chosen, and the Holy Blood of the Mother Tree in his body will be active, gradually changing his body, turning him into the incarnation of the Mother Tree, and when the time comes, a new Amma will be born. ”

Su Qi looked at her blankly, the Eight Desolation Sword lay quietly in his hand, and the wind blowing in the distance carried sand and dust, and there was a bitter taste.

"You're the next Amma. Su Qi said slowly.

This explains a lot of things.

Why is Anya's status so special in the clan? Why does everyone know her and respect her? And with Anya's realm, why can't she join the hunting team?

Because she is the next Amma, the future and foundation of the Noi people, how can she be easily put in danger?

"This is my glory and my misfortune. ”

Anya crossed her legs and looked into the distance, her wings gathered together, " To be Amma means to give up a lot of things, I will no longer be me, part of me will be the mother tree, this is the contract between my ancestors and the mother tree, it gives us strength, and it also imprints itself in our blood forever, even if the Noi tribe is wiped out, but as long as any of the people are alive, it will activate the Rao blood and turn him into a new Amma, if I die, there will be another Noi who will continue to be chosen, unless the Noi disappear completely, everyone dies, then the mother tree will dissipate with us。 ”

"And I've always been the one with the purest Mother Goddess blood in the clan, so I'm the highest priority," Anya stood up and stretched out her left hand, her palm was covered with thin lines, very inconspicuous, "See? This is the pattern of the mother tree, and the appearance of this in my body means that Amma is dead, and when it fills my body, I will turn into a mother tree and become the new Amma, and then I will find a safe place to give birth to new Noi people from the mother tree, raise them, teach them to cultivate filial piety, fight and survive, and let them multiply until the Noi are strong again. ”

Su Qi looked at her worriedly.

Anya looked at him steadily, and suddenly laughed, bright as a flower, "Don't worry, this is also very good, a spare life, how many chances can become the hope and only one of the inheritance race?"

She turned, her wings flapping lightly, facing the light, her face full of tears, "Am I much luckier than those who died?"

Su Qi looked at her back in a daze, revealing the light, and her slender body exuded dazzling brilliance.

The joys and sorrows of a race pressed on his heart like this.
