Chapter 52: The Last Elegy

Lin Yetian looked at the neat queue and looked at the huge dead tree with some curiosity and asked:

"You're just letting us through, not a reversal or something?"

The huge dead tree silently did not respond.

"Boring. Lin Yetian pursed his lips and muttered casually:

"I thought you were pretending to let us go over, and then you were going to have some roots in the ground and something popping up to tie us up, or you were putting some weird stuff on the food so that we would have a stomach upset when we ate it. ”

Xiao Yan glanced at Lin Yetian with a complicated expression.

This guy ...... Started giving advice to the enemy?

"Can you really eat these things?"

Xiao Qian's long sword was slightly retracted, but she still looked at the trunk-like thing in the dead wood monster's hand with a wary expression.

The trunk-shaped thing was jet-black, with two forked sections slightly upturned, looking stiff and dry.

Each trunk was three or four inches long, and exuded a dry and astringent smell of herbs, which was slightly pungent in the white mist.

"Yes. ”

The voices of men and women came faintly.

"I said, are you perfunctory to us, don't give us some meat and water, who are you fooling with this broken tree trunk?" Lin Yetian said unhappily.

"If you go back to your lordship, there are no edible animals in this place for a long time, and most of the water sources here are polluted......

"This trunk is the essence of heaven and earth, and the energy of this land is attached to it, this is the treasure at the bottom of the box here, not to fool you. ”

The old voice responded slowly, and when the steady voice reached Xiaoyan's ears, there was a wisp of panic.

They seem to be afraid of Lin Yetian?

Is it because of the flames? or is it ......

Xiao Yan silently looked at Lin Yetian, and the latter saw that the huge dead tree was so honest, and he also nodded his head with a smile on his face.

"Xiaoyan Xiaoyan, are they telling the truth?" Lin Yetian asked in a low voice.

Xiaoyan nodded, she still knew a little bit about this thing, and it was basically right with the huge dead wood.

It's just that she can't understand why this leader-like dead tree handed over the best things as soon as it came up, and is the threat of this torch really so great?

"So where do we have to go to get out of this place?"

Lin Yetian learned wisely this time, and asked directly to the dead wood.

"All the way north. ”

Week...... Oh no, the ancient tree stretched out its trunk and pointed to the north, and said slowly.

Turning his head slightly, he looked in the direction of the branches, and sure enough, he saw a gray clearing suddenly dispersed in the fog in the distance.

"Okay, Xiaoqian Xiaoyan, let's go. ”

Lin Yetian happily removed the trunk from the deadwood's 'hand', not suspecting that the huge deadwood was lying to them.

With both hands quickly stretched out, he put the trunk of the tree into the backpack that Xiao Qian was carrying, shook it a few times and saw no sign of falling, then turned around and left.

Halfway through, Lin Yetian curiously poked the soles of the tree trunks woven by his hands, which actually provoked the latter with a burst of sensations similar to suffocating laughter.

It's weird......

Xiao Qian looked at Xiao Yan, didn't notice anything unusual about her, put away Jian Zhuo and quickly followed.

Xiao Yan took a deep look at the huge dead tree, did not speak, and finally followed Lin Yetian.

In the white mist, in the passage formed by the many dead trees, the figures of the three people gradually faded, but only the shadows of two people remained.

"Elder...... We...... Let them go?" In the white smoke, it seemed that the voice that had just shouted for Lin Yetian to join them gradually sounded: "That is obviously ...... Ordinary Flame ...... We can...... Heedless...... Pounce on ......"

The muffled voice echoed in the white mist, and the faint sound did not reach the ears of the three people who were moving away in front of them.

"We can get them to stay...... The man...... A bait like no other...... If so...... Maybe you can be relieved......"

Another voice rang out.

The huge dead wood standing straight up looked at the three people who left silently, and did not respond to the words of the other dead wood.

After a long time, after making sure that the three of them had completely disappeared into the mist, the huge dead wood figure bent slightly, and it seemed that he had finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the distant and deep old old man muttered to himself:

"Civilization will fade and the flames will be cold. ”

"Where is liberation, where is faith?"

"The era of reincarnation has begun to restart, and invincibility is just a nourishment. ”

"The flower of hope has withered, and the way to hold on is illusory. ”

"The darkness of the nine heavens has returned, and the brightness of the moonlight has flickered and dimmed. ”

"That's not the stars. ”

"It's a final elegy. ”

After speaking, the huge dead wood slowly receded, and unconsciously, the shady shade of the staggering tree dissipated into the thick white mist.

The trees were silent.

......

"I said, isn't there a curse in these places? These trees are all strange, and just now those trees can speak human language, which made me think this is the World Tree. ”

Through the white mist, the three of them walked on the path with high wind in the night, and there were a few willow trees on the flat mountain ground, although they all looked different from the willows in real life, but fortunately, no trees were found to hurt people.

"Why, have you ever seen a tree in other places talking? I thought it was only in the Inception Realm. ”

Xiao Qian asked curiously, she noticed that Lin Yetian did not show fear from encountering the dead tree to leaving the white mist, and always looked calm, which made the image she already admired in her heart a little taller in vain.

"Oh, I'm talking nonsense. Lin Yetian casually found a reason to prevaricate.

"How do I feel like that giant deadwood is afraid of you?"

Xiaoyan pretended to be inadvertently tempted.

"I've seen him before. Lin Yetian muttered casually.

Seen it before?

Xiao Yan's expression froze.

"So Childe used to ...... Is it also a plant?" said Xiao Qian weakly on the side.

“...... No, hey, hey, don't talk about this, Xiaoyan, do you know where those trees came from?"

Lin Yetian changed the topic extremely bluntly.

Xiao Yan silently corrected on the paper:

"It's not a tree, everything that looks like a dead tree there is a myriad of living people. 」

"I can feel that they still have life in the trees, and every hand and foot in those trunks is their original body, but for some reason, the people who strayed into that place have been bound alive. 」

"Everybody's entangled, everybody's senses come together, everybody's struggling......

"Because of some unknown force......

"They are born with the white mist...... They died with the white mist......

"They are trapped inside the tree, they live in symbiosis with the tree, they are wailing in pain all the time, they are roaring, they are waiting for liberation......

"But it's the only way they can live. 」

"In this Inception. 」

Xiaoyan's expression was a little lonely, since she stepped into the white mist just now, she felt the resonance of countless emotions, countless voices like her, just looking for an audience that could listen.

In the short time they stayed, they almost became friends.

It's just that Xiaoyan hasn't shown it.

At this time, she seemed to be praying for those who were in pain, and seemed to be recording something, and her slender fingers seemed to tremble a little and she couldn't hold the pen.

"It's not your fault. Lin Yetian patted Xiaoyan's shoulder and comforted softly.

A softness of a woman's shoulders came through her nails, accompanied by a vague body fragrance on Xiaoyan's body, and Lin Yetian, who had been single for 100,000 years, shook his tiger body again.

Lin Yetian's slightly bland words reached Xiao Yan's ears, but they seemed to be quite effective, and Xiao Yan's originally nervous and somewhat twitching body gradually relaxed.

"You're going to comfort the girls, too?"

Xiaoyan couldn't help but joke as she put pen to paper on paper.

"No, I'm a psychiatrist. Lin Yetian scratched his head, but didn't discuss it too much, and asked Xiaoqian as he walked:

"Speaking of Xiaoqian, I don't seem to have asked you why you are afraid when you see those black soils, right?"

"Black soil...... Childe meant that the black blood seeped into the soil inside that cave, right?"

Xiao Qian thought about it as if she was recalling, and then shuddered suddenly as if she remembered something.

"Are you okay?" Lin Yetian asked casually with three points of concern and seven points.

Xiao Qian took a deep breath and breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked with palpitations: "Haven't you heard of that legend......
