The Fire Protector seemed to see through the doubts in my heart, and said slowly: "This stone tablet contains a secret path to the Holy Domain, and only by wearing the stone tablet on my body can my soul enter the Holy Domain after I die. ”

"Sanctuary!?" I was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What is the Sanctuary place?" ”

A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the Fire Protector: "The Sanctuary is the place where the gods dwell, and it is also the place where we are most fascinated!" ”

"Isn't that heaven!"

"Hehe, in fact, I don't know what the Sanctuary is." When the Fire Protector said this, he suddenly noticed the dragon tooth in my hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Why is this dragon tooth in your hand?" ”

I hurriedly said: "This dragon tooth was given to me by a senior, and it was taken away by this guy, but fortunately I didn't lose it!" By the way, I heard that this dragon tooth was actually the first to be discovered by your predecessor? ”

The Fire Protector nodded and said, "This dragon tooth comes from a thousand-year-old fire rock, and the fire dragon qi is also obtained from that fire stone, I didn't expect this dragon tooth to go around and around into your hands, it's really providential." It's a treasure, you've got to put it away! ”

"I know, this thing is extremely hard, it can be regarded as a high-grade weapon, and it is best used to subdue demons and eliminate demons."

As soon as I finished speaking, the Fire Protector waved his hand and said, "This thing is not just a weapon, it seems to contain an incomparably powerful aura inside, and I think it is very likely that it has some other uses. ”

"What else is it used for? What do you mean? I hurriedly asked.

"I don't know this, I can only rely on you to ......," he said, and his breathing suddenly became short.

I couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Senior, what's wrong with you?" ”

The Fire Protector frowned, and said with great difficulty, "I...... When I die, you will take my body out of this place where you do not see the light of day, and there is a thousand-year-old cedar tree seven zhang away from the cave, and you will bury me under the ancient cedar, facing the east, four feet seven inches from the tree, and digging five feet three inches down, no...... There is no need for a coffin, no need to build a grave, no need to erect a ...... Monument ......"

His voice became weaker and weaker, and when he said this, his head suddenly tilted slightly to the side, and he lost his voice.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Senior! Predecessor! ……”

However, I called several times, but he did not respond. I put my hand in the cage and touched it in front of his nose, only to find that he was no longer breathing. The Fire Protector died, even though he died in such a harsh environment, but he died peacefully, and it might have been a relief for him.

I couldn't help but sigh.

The Fire Protector's last words were for me to take his body out and bury it under an ancient cedar tree outside the cave, and although I didn't remember where there was an ancient cedar tree, and I didn't understand why he wanted me to do it, but since it was his last word, I had to do it anyway.

I searched the cage and soon found a rusty copper lock, and I clenched the dragon's tooth in my hand and slammed it down, only to crack it in one fell swoop.

I opened the cage and used my dragon's teeth to pierce the shackles around the fire protector's neck and hands, and carried his body out.

Perhaps because of long-term malnutrition, the body of the Fire Protector seems to be only skinny and bone-covered, and the weight is very light, and it feels like it weighs only seventy or eighty pounds at most. I slung his body on my back and walked out of the cave.

However, the outside of the cave hall is intricate, the big hole is set with a small hole, I wandered around the cave for a long time, and I couldn't find a way out, originally I came in with a cross-body bag, the bag has a walkie-talkie and GPS locator, but after I was caught by the owl monster, the crossbody bag does not know where to go. I can't get in touch with anyone else now, and I don't know where to go, so it's not easy to get out of this place.

I thought about it for a while, and suddenly it occurred to me that Wuchenzi was a ghost with profound mana after all, and maybe I could ask him to help find a way out. So I immediately summoned the Dustless from the stone tablet.

Seeing that I was carrying a ragged corpse, Wuchenzi was a little surprised, and I hurriedly told him a brief account of the situation, and after he heard it, he asked me to stay where I was and wait, and then it turned into a black mist and quickly spread around.

After waiting for more than an hour, I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and vaguely heard Wen Qingshan's shout: "Shi Yu! ”

I hurriedly agreed, "I'm here!" ”

After a while, a light shone towards me, it was Wen Qingshan and Huang Yixian! It turned out that Wuchenzi found the two of them, so he brought them over.

Seeing that I was fine, they were both pleasantly surprised, no matter seeing me carrying the fire protector on my back, they were both taken aback, Huang Yixian stared at the fire protector carefully for a while, and said, "This is not that guy, who is this?" ”

"He is the master of Second Master Rui! The reason why Second Master Rui is proficient in the secret art of the Fire Clan is all because of what he taught! ”

When Huang Yixian heard this, he immediately shouted: "It turns out that he is the culprit!" ”

I hurriedly explained: "Uncle Shi, listen to me first, in fact, this senior was deceived by Second Master Rui before he taught him the secret art of the Fire Clan, and after the beast learned the secret art of the Fire Clan, he imprisoned him, and for more than ten years, the senior has been locked in an iron cage in the cave. ”

"And that kind of thing?"

I nodded and continued, "Moreover, the senior is not only the master of Second Master Rui, but also a demon hunter. As for Second Master Rui, he is actually a cultist. Second Master Rui hid his true identity in front of his predecessors and gained the full trust of his predecessors, so that his seniors would look away and accept him as an apprentice. ”

"It turns out that guy is a member of the cult, no wonder he is so vicious!" Wen Qingshan suddenly realized.

Huang Yixian hurriedly asked, "By the way, where is that guy?" Could it be that he escaped again? ”

"Nope! He's dead? ”

"What, you killed him?"

I hurriedly said, "He was not killed by me, but burned by his own internal fire." ”

Huang Yixian snorted lightly: "Hmph! This kind of bastard who can mutilate his own master to such a field is simply innocent! With that, he turned his attention to the Fire Protector again, he stared at the Fire Protector for a while, and asked me, "Shi Yu, I think something is wrong with him?" ”

I sighed and said, "Because he's dead." ”

"What! He's dead? Wen Qingshan hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to check his pulse, and then nodded: "It's indeed dead." ”

"Since he's dead, why are you carrying him behind your back? You're not related to him! Huang Yixian asked puzzled.

I said, "Because my predecessor left a last word before he died, I asked me to take him away from this dark place and bury him under an ancient cedar tree outside the cave." ”

Wen Qingshan nodded and said, "There is indeed an ancient cedar tree outside the cave, and I think that the age of that tree must be five hundred years. ”

Huang Yixian asked me, "Is it difficult for you kid to promise him like this?" ”

I replied, "Anyway, he is the senior of the demon hunter after all, and the only request he has before he dies, can I not agree to it!" ”

"Hey! You kid just has no heart and no lungs, and you haven't reaped any benefits, so why did you agree to carry his corpse out! ”

Wen Qingshan smiled and said, "Master Huang, since this senior's last words are the last words, let's do it." ”

"This kid has already promised others, what else can I do!"

Although Huang Yixian seems to be extremely reluctant, I know that he is just trying to be happy, in fact, he has always been very in awe of the deceased, and he always says that people should be buried in the earth after death, so even if the fire protector does not leave a last word, it is estimated that he will definitely let me carry his body out, and then find a piece of land to let it be buried in the ground.

We all got the corpse of the fire protector out of the Guanyin Rock together, and the cheap, the fat cow, Xu Maorong, and Xu Jiacheng were still waiting outside, they were guarding the entrance of the cave, waiting for four or five hours, and thought that something was wrong with us, and they were all very anxious, and they were discussing to come into the cave to find us. Now that they saw us come out safely, they were relieved.

And when they saw the corpse of the Fire Protector, they were all surprised, and Xu Maorong hurriedly asked, "Who is this person?" ”

I had to tell the situation again, but in front of Xu Maorong and Xu Jiacheng, I only said that the Fire Protector was the master of Second Master Rui, and did not say his true identity, nor did I mention that Second Master Rui was a disciple of the Shadow Cult.

And when he learned that Second Master Rui had been burned to charcoal, Xu Maorong couldn't help sighing, although Second Master Rui had done a lot of evil and died innocently, but after all, he was from Yunjian Village, Xu Maorong still felt a little sorry.

Because the fire protector said that his body would be buried under an ancient cedar tree, I looked around, and sure enough, I found that about twenty meters away from the entrance of Guanyin Rock, there was really a cedar tree, this cedar tree is really not ordinarily big, the height of the tree is afraid that it must be thirty or forty meters, the branches are luxuriant, the thickest part of the tree path, it is estimated that several adults can hold it.

Seeing such a big cedar tree, Huang Yixian was also a little surprised, and he said in surprise: "How can this cedar tree be so big?" ”

Wen Qingshan said: "The cedar tree is a longevity tree, which can grow for thousands of years, and can grow to a very large size, and the giant sequoia native to North America, commonly known as the 'Lord of the World', is the largest living creature in the world." In the Sequoia National Park in California, USA, there is a giant sequoia, which is more than 80 meters high, with a trunk diameter of nearly 10 meters, and weighs more than 2,800 tons, which is equivalent to the weight of 500 African elephants. It is estimated that the age of the tree is about 3,500 years. ”
