Oil, spirits, wood, all these flammable things together, plus a little spark. There was only one result: an unstoppable fire!

The flames quickly spread down the treant's legs, into its body and hands. The eyes that radiated light were also wrapped in smoke and fire.

The Treant waved his arms to extinguish the fire, but it was in vain. It was now a giant torch, billowing smoke. Its skin turned charred black in the burning, and it made a crackling and popping sound. The vines that were turned into hairs also withered quickly and then broke one after another. The burning deprived the wood of its moisture, its movements stiffened and slowed, it stumbled through two walls, and finally fell to its knees, crushing a house, and the flames on its body set it on fire.

Xiao Chen heard a miserable cry in his heart, and then that kind of spiritual connection came to an abrupt end. He saw the tree man struggling in the flames, and his heart suddenly became heavy, perhaps because of the morning side, in his eyes, this tree man was no different from a human, as if he was watching a man who had just spoken to him being burned alive. He shouted, "Roger, take down the arsonist and make a way." I'm going to put out the fire for the Treants!"

Roger nodded and rushed over with the people behind him. These men were the best fighters from four or five thousand men, far more elite than Ralph's men. The slaves who had been besieging the Treants saw a large number of men with knives and spears rushing towards them, and they gathered around Ralph. Holding a weapon and confronting Xiao Chen's people.

"Roger, you're not leaving, what do you want to do with these people?" Ralph was a little surprised, the scene was a little beyond his imagination.

"Ralph, the entire camp is under the control of Lord Xiao. Surrender. Roger's voice was stern and his expression was solemn.

"Surrender, Roger, are you crazy? It's not enough for you to be a dog for a magician, and you're still trying to coerce me?tell you, I'm free now, and no one can control me!" Ralph's face was full of rage, and he waved his sword in his hand as if he had been greatly insulted, "I'm going to get you back my elf! Did you rob them all?"

When Roger saw that the burning tree man had fallen in the ruins of the house, he didn't move much, his heart was anxious, and his tone was not good: "This is your last chance, and if you stop here, we will be welcome." ”

Ralph saw Xiao Chen also walk in, followed by the most beautiful female elf, and his heart was churning with anger. Even if the other party is a magician, Ralph will not tolerate such predators. He worked hard to kill the tree people after many deaths, how could he let people pick the fruit like this?

What's more, this strange-looking magician has never shown any magical abilities, maybe just a magic apprentice is just posturing.

He was heartbroken, pointed his sword at Xiao Chen, and said, "Magician, I don't care what the hell you're up to, that elf is mine." If you don't want to fight me to the death, you'd better hand me over the elves and let me go......!"

"You can't go!" Xiao Chen had already understood what was happening here from Elaina's mouth, and he was not prepared to give Ralph any chance.

At this time, he held a scroll from the ancient mansion of the magician. Morey had identified that it was a scroll of high-level magic called "Ice Storm", which, according to him, could have the power to destroy a town if released correctly. It's a pity that neither Xiao Chen nor Morey have the ability to release such a high-level scroll.

But Xiao Chen had his own set of brutal methods to deal with scrolls, so he took a few scrolls with him.

Xiao Chen had activated the scroll long before he walked over. He felt the power of ice and snow and the power of the wind sealed in it, and then he injected his spiritual power into it without any care, and the wild power began to tear through the prohibition in the scroll, destroying the path of the demon text, and simply releasing this energy. At the same time, his spiritual power also attracted the elemental power around him, and the magic power that was more powerful than the scroll itself was attached to the scroll from the outside world.

This consumes a lot more mental power than the normal use of the scroll, and there is no guarantee of the form of the magic at all, and the power will be much weakened. But there is also a great benefit, which is that there is no need for any spells, no gestures. Along the way, naturally, it did not attract Ralph's attention.

Xiao Chen couldn't control so much at this time, he was like a child desperately stuffing sugar into his mouth, regardless of the bearing capacity of his mouth, until there was a moment when he couldn't stuff anything anymore and squirted out all the sugar......

When he walked up to Roger, facing Ralph and his men, the scroll had turned into a light blue highlight in his hand. Then, he raised his palm, and countless frosts were sandwiched between the cold wind, spraying out along his fingers, forming a cone-shaped ice mist.

Why didn't he have to chant a spell? Ralph was about to take advantage of Xiao Chen's unpreparedness and use his speed to take him hostage, but suddenly Xiao Chen's magic came at him.

Ralph was enveloped in ice mist in an instant, and he was just as he could speak, his mouth still open, and the ice mist rushed into his throat. He hurriedly covered his face with his hands and rolled sideways, avoiding the front of the ice mist. However, he found that his arms, cheeks, mouth, and throat had lost sensation. What's worse is that the long sword and palm in his hand are stuck together and can't be broken.

What kind of ice and snow is this, and how can it have such terrifying power?

Before he could figure it out, the relentless ice mist enveloped the people behind him, and then rushed straight at the burning Treant who had fallen in the house.

The wind drove away the smoke, and the ice fog engulfed the flames.

In the blink of an eye, as the scroll in Xiao Chen's hand had been exhausted, the ice mist slowly dissipated. I saw that the fire on the tree man had been extinguished, and the charred bark left half an inch of frost. Between the Tree Man and Xiao Chen, dozens of slaves were wrapped in ice crystals, standing motionless in the open space like ice sculptures.

Ralph screamed, staggered to his feet, and spun in circles. If you look closely, you will find that his eyes are covered with a layer of white, and he has long been frozen by Xiao Chen's magic and is blind.

He accidentally bumped into a frozen slave, who fell straight down and knocked down the man next to him. And so, the ice fell to the ground like dominoes, the ice crystals cracked, making a piercing click, and the body hit the ground with a low crashing sound. Ralph groped with his hand for the people around him, and after touching a few icemen, he seemed to understand something, and the more he touched his hand, the faster he moved, and the more he moved. At last he stood up, staring around with godless eyes, as if looking for something.

"Are you looking for me?" Xiao Chen said coldly.

As soon as Ralph heard Xiao Chen's voice, he let out an unwilling scream and rushed towards him with his sword.

The cyan fighting aura light burst out from Ralph's body again, but the frozen muscles in his hands could no longer withstand this kind of power, he charged, but his hands continued to crack in the run, and when he was about to rush in front of Xiao Chen, because of the loss of his palm and forearm, his sword had fallen to the ground, but he was unaware, as if he was crazy.

Roger silently drew his sword and stabbed it in his chest. Ralph was spitting blood, stretching his broken arm to reach forward. However, it is impossible to cross the distance of a few meters.

Roger flashed lightning on his sword, and a large hole exploded in Ralph's chest. He threw his head up to the sky, and then fell limply.

This warrior who could fight Roger died like this.

"Gather the slaves who haven't died yet. Xiao Chen stared at Ralph on the ground for a while, and then commanded. The surrounding slaves, no matter which side they belonged to, were silent and did not make a sound. For many people, it was the first time in their lives that they had seen the horror of magical power.

—————————————————————

"The fire is out. Is she still there?" Xiao Chen walked over to the treeman, and Elaina and the other four elves were standing quietly beside the treeman's head.

Elaine shook her head, shedding a string of tears.

"She's gone. Even without this fire, she would eventually leave us......" Elaina stared at the treeman's face, which was almost burned flat.

"Is it because of the Guardian Seed you talked about earlier?"

"Yes. The price of the Seed of Guardianship is the soul of the elves. If she survives, she will never be able to change back to her original form, but will only become a real tree. And her soul will slowly fall silent, like every tree. At the moment of using it, she was ready to sacrifice herself completely. Elaine brushed the frost off the bark with her hand and pressed her palm against the bark.

The other elves understood what she was going to do, and they all put their hands on the treants.

Elaine softly sang an elven elegy to a strange and light tune. The other elves sang along. Elaina's hands began to emit a shimmer of light, like fireflies, slowly flying onto the treeman's body. The point of light was neither scorching nor dazzling, but the ice and snow on the treants began to melt. And the charred bark began to fall.

As they sang and sang, a small bud broke its bark from her hand and revealed its head. It swayed like a cheerful child, and then grew taller and taller, and in a few moments it grew into a small tree more than half a meter high.

This is the power of life.

Elaine gently kissed the branches of the tree, then plucked the two leaves from them and placed them in two straw bags.

She handed a small bag to the other elf and said, "Awen, this is proof of Sharyl's 'new life'. Please bring it back to the Kingdom and place it under the World Tree. ”

"Lord Elaina. Isn't that what you should bring back with you?"

Elaina shook her head, "I can't go back for a while, so, bring it back for me." ”

The other elves didn't know why, but the Yulu priest had a noble status, so they didn't dare to ask more, so they nodded yes.

"Thank you for your help in avenging Sharil. Elaina handed another bag to Xiao Chen, "You can enter the elven kingdom with this leaf." I think the elders of the kingdom would have expressed their gratitude as well. ”

Xiao Chen took the leaf and put it away carefully, "Actually, the most important thing is what she does." She was the one who made you all alive in the end. ”

"yes. You know what? We don't actually know her. Elaine hung her head, her gaze seemingly wandering out of the world, "Just now, she killed me and ...... Some of the ...... A human being. I could see that she didn't like me, and even despised me. But then she saved me with her life, without hesitation...... It makes me, let me ......" she couldn't continue, but two lines of tears expressed the rest for her.

Maybe she just found that there was no way back. Xiao Chen remembered what he had said to Luo Ling at this time, "There will always be people who will choose to take a step forward when they have nowhere to retreat, and in the eyes of others, this may be the leap from mortal to hero." ”
