After a while, Kasumi heard the other party's answer, "I will send a wisp of magic power to your eyes, you touch the magic power, and meditate on the World Tree in your heart." ”

Kasumi did everything step by step according to the words of the World Tree.

In an instant, the surrounding scene changed, and a huge tree appeared in front of Kasumi's eyes, about a hundred meters high, as wide as a building, and surrounded by several large and small puddles.

There used to be a lake nearby, but now the lake is almost completely gone.

Most of the leaves on the trees were yellowed and dead, with only a few green leaves, and there were countless holes in the trunks, some large and some small, and there were constant wails coming from them.

"I'm going to die soon."

"The feeling of being bitten to death little by little."

"It hurts......"

"I'm going to die......"

……

Xia walked over distressedly and stroked the trunk of the tree, the bark was old and rough, soft and lying on its stomach, very abnormal, why is the bark soft?

Kasumi circled around the tree, and found a two-meter-high hole behind the tree, Kasumi walked in, and there were several black insects on the side of the hole, sticking to the tree, gnawing at the heart of the tree.

Bugs are as long as an adult's arm, as big as they are, and come in all colors.

Not only the side, but the entire cave wall is full of bugs, one every half a meter.

Kasumi looked up and saw that the hole was much bigger than the entrance.

There was a little light overhead, and the bugs had gnawed through the World Tree from the bottom to the top.

It turned out that the countless big holes outside were gnawed by these bugs.

No wonder the World Tree says it's going to die.

Being eaten by countless insects at the same time, no matter how big a tree is, it can't withstand such a toss.

Kasumi endured the nausea and reached out to catch those bugs, she hated the soft and slimy bugs very much, and felt disgusting when she saw them, but fortunately, the bugs would walk around her and never climb on her.

Kasumi thinks that the bugs here will also bypass her so that the bugs won't destroy the World Tree.

At this time, the distance between Kasumi's hand and the insect was only five centimeters, but the insect was still frantically eating the World Tree, and there was no sign of stopping.

Kasumi hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, grabbed it with her eyes closed, and successfully caught the insect, and the slimy liquid flowed from the insect's body to Kasumi's hand.

There was a tingling pain in the palm, and two rows of small tooth marks appeared on the palm, and Kasumi immediately threw the insect to the ground, and only then did Kasumi dare to open her eyes to see the insect on the ground.

The bug was on its back facing up, revealing its belly, and Kasumi was startled when she saw her belly, and took several steps back until she exited the tree hole.

There is a human face on the belly of the worm! The slimy liquid was on the saliva of the human face, and the stinging pain just now was because the human face bit Xia.

Kasumi tucked the clothes on her chest, unable to believe the scene in front of her.

The insect struggled to get up from the ground, quickly crawled towards the trunk, and bit down on the trunk.

Kasumi suddenly felt a wave of nausea, and their desires made Kasumi feel sick.

Do all the insects in the trees have a human face on them?

Why are they destroying the World Tree?

Kasumi ran to the original place, "What are those bugs?" I, how can I save you!! ”

The wailing stopped, "Bloody ......"

Kasumi asked anxiously, "What blood?" What do you want blood for? ”

"Your Blood ......"

"Can save my ......"

After hearing this, Xia took out the knife for cutting fruit from the small flower bag, cut her wrist without hesitation, and pointed her wrist against the trunk of the tree, and blood flowed out instantly along the wound.

The blood flowed into the trunk of the tree, merged into the trunk and disappeared.

The large hole three meters above Kasumi's head healed little by little as the blood melted in.

Kasumi looked up, and several large holes in the vicinity were slowly healing.

Seeing that the effect was so good, Kasumi cut the wound a little wider with a knife, and more blood flowed out of the wound.

The World Tree spoke again, "Thank you, Kasumi. ”

His voice was much more coherent, unlike before when he had to take a break for every word he spoke, making it seem as if he was going to lose his life in the next moment.

The state of the World Tree is much better than before.

Looking at the bleeding wound, Kasumi suddenly felt no pain at all.

"You're still on this path again."

It wasn't until she heard this sentence that Kasumi came back to her senses from her happiness, "You know me?" ”

The World Tree let out a laugh and sighed, "Is that so? ”

The World Tree said to itself, "That's good. ”

Kasumi doesn't know why.,I want to ask why the World Tree knows itself.。

The World Tree came one step ahead of her with a warning voice, "Don't approach the people of the royal family, don't let others find out that you can use magic, no one." ”

Kasumi said, "Someone has found out, and if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have seen you." ”

The World Tree sighed helplessly, "Harm...... It's better to be a step late, don't let them say it, and you don't tell anyone about it again. ”

"Otherwise, you'll die."

Seeing that the World Tree was serious, Kasumi smiled and nodded, "Okay, I won't tell anyone." ”

After a while, Xia asked again, "So why do you know me?" ”

The World Tree uttered an inexplicable sentence, "It's human." ”

"Those bugs are humans, and signing up with me is actually finding a place to put bugs on me."

"When humans use magic, the insects that represent them eat me."

"I am magic."

Kasumi immediately gave her own thoughts, "Then you can't let them use magic, okay?" You will not be able to make any more contracts with anyone, and if you continue like this, you will die. ”

You can live a good life without a magical person.

The World Tree replied, "It's not for me to decide, I can't change the dictates of the gods, I was born to exist for humanity." ”

Xia lowered her head after hearing this, and her voice was muffled, "But I don't want you to die." ”

The World Tree said, "Don't worry, with your blood, I can't die for the time being." ”

After hearing this, Xia cut her wrist with a knife again, and the veins were cut, and the blood inside sprayed out as if she was dying.

At this moment, she seems to have lost her sense of pain, and it doesn't matter if she sheds blood on her body for the sake of the World Tree.

In normal times, Xia would not dare to imagine such a thing.

A magic force that came from nowhere touched the wound, and the speed of blood flowed out was much slower, and the wound showed signs of healing, and the blood that flowed out was even smaller than before.

Xia was a little anxious, and raised her hand to cut again.

Xia always felt that this little bit of blood was nothing, and it didn't matter if she shed a little more.

The World Tree stopped her with a loud voice, "That's it, don't hurt yourself anymore, I don't want you to die." ”

The World Tree's somewhat melancholy voice floated in, "He's really still protecting you, it's so good......"

Xia bit her lip unwillingly and didn't speak.

The World Tree seemed to be able to hear Kasumi's heart, "Don't try, you won't succeed, that magic is not mine, it's his, he won't let you die." ”

Kasumi had no choice but to withdraw the knife, "Who is he?" ”

For unknown reasons, the World Tree didn't tell Kasumi, "Secret. ”
