The demonic plants in the underground belong to the origin of darkness, and the underground river is mixed with blood. There were a lot of boulders on both sides, and there were monsters just like 'he' just reminded about.

Those monsters resemble leopards and tigers, their bodies are like rabbits, and their movements are vigorous and flexible. They do not go near places where there are magic plants, they hide on the sides of stones or rivers, their ears raised high, vigilantly looking for prey.

and some of the more aura of the Demonic Beasts, which choose to hide in more inconspicuous places.

The light of the magic lamp attracted the attention of the monsters, and the light underground was dim, they had long been accustomed to it.

The sudden light was a bit dazzling for the monsters, and when they found Ryan and Andrew, they didn't leave immediately, choosing to retract their claws and stealthily approach with their tails between their legs.

Andrew sensed the ferocity of the monster's greed and arrogance, quietly lifted the magic lamp, and released his coercion in the direction of the monster.

Dragons are far more powerful than the Monsters, and even though they dominate the area for many years, Dragons are the highest predators in the food chain. The monster suddenly fled in panic because of Andrew's fright, the trees hanging upside down on the top trembled, and the monster in the form of a bird curled up its wings, quietly closed its eyes and pretended to be dead in the dense black leaves.

The monster was afraid of Andrew, and peace returned to the surroundings.

Ryan floated in the air as he was accustomed to, the leaves gently swaying their tips and spinning in the air, and he felt that Renault was really powerful.

He' had never seen these monsters so honest.

Sure that both Ryan and Andrew could easily keep up with their carriers, the soul controlled the leaves to fly faster, like the wind light and invisible.

The fish in the river were equally quiet, without the interference of monsters and plants, Ryan and Andrew accelerated to follow, and finally down the underground river, they heard the roaring water.

Andrew's gaze under the hood lifted slightly, and through the prop in Ryan's head, he said, "There is a waterfall ahead, and I smell blood." ”

The leaves flew to the end of the waterfall with the wind and stopped, turning the leaf stalks, and said to Ryan in a somewhat uneasy voice; "Mr. Hughes, Mr. Reynolds, there is a high current here, please be careful......

Below is where my soul is. ”

Ryan controlled the magic to stop next to the leaves, dangling in the air and looking down.

It's not just a waterfall, it's a huge mountain world that spans more than a kilometer up and down, surrounded by dark water that flows away from each other towards another passage. Beneath the cave, in the center stands a large black tree, its roots connecting the leylines and the dark river, and its dead branches covered with black leaves.

In addition, in the body of the giant tree, where an illusory figure was blocked, nervously and apprehensively looking up at them.

Chapter 478

The dead tree occupies the center of the underground cavern, half of its thick rhizomes sink into the black underground river, and countless finger-thick roots split into the meandering fissures, completely sinking into the mud beneath the river, connecting the entire ruins.

Not only are there souls locked in by the rhizomes, but there are also many cages of condensed roots, surrounded by piles of bones, flesh and blood that have merged with the river.

Ryan floats above the waterfall, unleashing his Eagle Eye spell at himself and Andrew.

The cage of the rhizome is surrounded by bones, and there are fluctuations of consciousness inside, blocked by a 'door', and it is impossible to see what is inside.

The black giant tree looks like a dead thing, with a thick trunk and many branches in the canopy, and even the leaves are like ashes burned by flames, and you can't feel the breath of pure life.

At each node of the branch, a rattan hangs down, and the tip of the rattan hangs above the water, catching the living organisms close to the roots.

Ryan looked down at the soul that was staring at him, and asked in a low voice with the restless swaying leaves in front of him, "Is that your soul?" ”

The soul was protected by a wonderful force at the rhizome, and he could only see the form of a human being, and more details could not be seen.

"Yes, that's me." "I'm not familiar with the control of power, and I don't know why I've been able to take on a human form.

I was born and awakened in the ruins, and although I was bound by the ruins, I was also blessed, and I am grateful for everything here. ”

"The light blesses me and makes my existence more secret."

The leaves still used the wind to convey their voices, growing more and more apprehensive, and finally decided to tell Ryan what had happened, "Mr. Theseus, before you arrived, the two who died earlier entered the ruins. Perceive the idea that they want to destroy, and the Night Race is controlled. So I hid my existence, but he accidentally discovered it. ”

The voice in the wind grew softer and softer, "Fortunately, the relics have blessed me, and the bad guys may mistake me for the consciousness born in the core. He wanted to make the ruins more chaotic so that the Night Race could grow faster. So he captured many aliens, made them fight each other, and forcibly sacrificed them.

The ruins bound me and protected me, and I didn't absorb the flesh of those aliens, not the seed. Chaos and death are the nourishment of evil, and it hasn't been too long, only the core of the ruins has been affected...... Eventually, it was quickly polluted to its current state.

In fact, before the bad guys arrived, I used to occasionally see illusory apparitions of sunlight here, and now only cold death surrounds this place. Those ancient blood elves, they were all sad and silent. Unlike me, they want to return to their own tribe, or find a suitable place to die and disappear, and there is nothing I can do for them. ”

He was born here, he has never seen the mainland, he has not experienced the truth. Although emotions can be felt and shared, there will be no such intense sadness as that of blood elves, nor the pain of being forcibly stripped of everything.

Even though they are also bound here, the soul feels much luckier than the blood elves...... He wanted to help the Blood Elf fulfill his wish, but he was too weak to do anything to help him even if the ruins could become his eyes and his hands, let alone protect this place.

Andrew's dragon wings swayed slightly under the cloak, the soul in front of him was stronger than July's, but as pure and clean as July felt to him.

Andrew knows that Ryan likes to make friends with kind people, and if the scope of making friends is limited, Andrew will be more willing to contact kind people.

It's just that he is friendly, pure and lacks self-identity, and he can be chosen by Ryan to be a friend, and Andrew knows what Ryan will help him do.

What's more, there are more than just souls, maybe they also knew each other a long time ago.

As for Ryan being a lover who is closer than a friend, of course love does not affect friendship.

After all, Ryan often said, many choices, many happiness.

Even the tutorial book says so.

Ryan waited quietly for the voice in the wind to finish, and then lifted the hood slightly, revealing his perfectly curved jaw and eyes, facing the magic lamp in Andrew's hand, and asked in a gentle voice: "Are you worried that I will hate you for devouring flesh, or are you worried that I will think that your strength is not strong enough?" ”

Ryan's gaze and temperament are warm, and the self-doubt of the soul disappears a lot.

The leaf curled up with its spikes stretched, the leaf stalk facing Ryan's direction, and Tofeng continued to convey his response, "I can sense that you have a great dislike for and dislike sacrifice and the devouring of flesh, especially forced sacrifices...... You and Mr. Renault are so powerful, your territory must be far beyond the ruins, I can't even protect this place, and I'm worried that I won't be able to reach your decision, and I'll be disappointed in you. ”

"I do not like sacrifice, whether voluntarily or forced. As for the butler's invitation, you should be a little more confident. ”

Ryan looked at the leaf stalk of the leaves, and his gentle voice was full of confidence, "On a certain level, Renault and I are already the strongest in the continent at present, and our strength will not lose to the bad guys you see." His main body is the Pope of the Temple of Light, intending to devour life and make himself a god, and I will tell you more and more details about the current situation of the continent after leaving.

In addition, not only me and Renault, but my territory is currently the most powerful territory on the continent, with the largest number of races, and they can all become friends with you and will obey your management. ”

"You have to trust my vision." Ryan, "I am very optimistic about your talent and character, and if you are willing to accept my employment, you will be the most suitable steward of my territory." ”

The tips of the leaves curled up, the sound of the wind disappeared, a little dazed, still a little incredulous, and asked: "You and I have only met for the first time, why do you trust me so much?" I don't know anything, and I'm worried that it will affect your territory. ”

"Meeting is fate, and everything is a fateful choice."

Ryan, "I won't regret my decision, I hope you can trust yourself, believe in my choice and believe in your own talent, and give yourself more courage and faith." I've already said that you have plenty of time to grow and don't have to worry about making mistakes right now.

Even if you do make a mistake, it is enough to remember the reason and try to avoid it later. ”

After vaguely guessing what the predecessor of the soul might be, let alone just a housekeeper...... Ryan felt that giving 'him' a territory could easily develop into a main city.

The protected soul in the rhizome of the giant tree rubbed his eyes with his hands, and for the first time he experienced a more real and unforgettable emotion, apparently disembodied, only a cloud of air.

The leaf stalk of the leaf also rubbed lightly on the tip, and the voice in the wind whispered, "Thank you very much for your trust, I will try to believe in myself more." ”

He wanted to respond to Ryan's expectations.

"That's how it should be. Trusting yourself is always the least regrettable and most worthwhile choice, and no one can replace your importance to yourself. ”

Ryan held his staff and looked down at the passage in the center below, "Let's go and solve the bondage between you and the blood elves first, and then see if there is any way to purify the core from the effects of sacrifice." ”

Andrew raised the magic lamp to the front, his gaze aligned with Ryan's.

"Thank you."

The leaf stalks of the tree drooped low, "I will take you to the place where my own soul is, there is unwillingness and resentment around the river, please beware of the blood in the river." The core has devoured flesh, and I will find a way to restrain the ferocity of the core.

If you can, please also take out the seeds in the core first, the restraint over there will be much weaker. ”

With the sound of the wind, the leaves flew downward.

Ryan and Andrew followed the leaves and flew down the waterfall, Ryan looked at the giant tree in the center of the water, and asked the leaves in a low voice, "So the core of this ruin, is this giant tree in front of you?" ”

"The giant tree is the cloak of protection, and the core is hidden in the body of the tree behind me."

The leaves flew sideways over the stems and towards where the soul was, "I can hide the core somewhere else without anyone interfering." But the Pope, as you call it, seems to be familiar with this place as well, and he found the core directly after entering the ruins.

The core is the most important thing in the ruins, and it can control the entire ruins, but it needs to be bound to a living life to control it, and I can't do that. ”

The leaves fall quickly, and the roots that emerge from the stone walls grow into trees.

The monsters around him and in the river were equally afraid of Andrew, and while he explained, he tried to keep the giant tree that protected the core, the vines hanging from its branches, from grabbing Ryan and Andrew.

"I haven't seen the real form of the core, which is loaded with a lot of dreams and can change different scenes."

The leaves stopped in front of the roots of the giant tree, and the illusory protective power vanished, and it was only then that Ryan and Andrew saw the true appearance of their souls.

The space around the rhizome is larger than what I saw just now, the same as the youth perceived in the voice, the soul imprisoned in the roots of the tree, the human form is like a teenager who has just become an adult, the eyes and hair are almost dark dark purple, the ends of the hair are like wavy curls, the bridge of the nose is high, and the appearance is very beautiful.

Although pretty is not suitable for men, Ryan can't think of a more appropriate adjective for a while.

Even if the human form of the soul illusion has no substance, and he is dressed in the same illusory simple gray robe, it still can't hide the feeling and temperament of his appearance, especially a pair of eyes as hazy as the sun and the moon. It is obviously a soul, but the eyes are real, just like an iris in a quiet deep valley that no one can see, with rain and dew as clothes, and proudly blooming towards the moonlight.

The leaves break up after completing the work of guiding the way, and the particles that turn into dust dissipate.

As 'he' just explained, although the core was affected and polluted by sacrifice, the young man who was incarnated by the soul was not contaminated with a trace of evil, and was well protected.

The magic caused Ryan and Andrew to hover in front of the giant tree's rhizome, and they stood side by side above the river.

Andrew lifted the magic lamp, and the light illuminated the surroundings more clearly. The falling vines were afraid of the light, and were slightly away from Ryan and Andrew under 'his' control.

Danger can't hurt himself, Ryan looked at the young man in the root of the tree, and praised in an extremely serious tone: "It's almost as I imagined, your eyes are beautiful. ”

Obviously a very young and easily shy soul, who will worry and think about other people's emotions, but has a pair of eyes full of wisdom.

It's not just the eyes that are praised, except for Andrew, Marcia, and his own special existence, among the races that Ryan has seen, only 'he' gives Ryan the most wonderful feeling at the moment.

Andrew looked at him slightly, he still thought Ryan's eyes were the best, pure and attractive to the black that people wanted to kiss.

The eyelashes of the soul fluttered slightly, and they were all the more joyful by Lane's praise emotion.

Praise makes people happy, even if the soul exists, there is no heart only consciousness.

"Thank you for the compliment,"

The soul took the thought of praise to heart, and the gray robe it wore on its 'body' swayed lightly, wanting to get closer to Ryan.

But the moment the 'soul' moved, multiple glowing green vines suddenly appeared on the rhizomes of the surrounding giant trees, and the tips were like chains to bind the soul.

Ryan raised his right hand slightly, holding the staff, and was just about to use magic to clear the vines, when the soul that sensed his movement immediately stopped him, "Mr. Theseus, please wait a moment." ”

Ryan put down the staff in his hand, looked at the glowing vines surrounding the soul and asked, "Is this the binding of the ruins to you?" ”

"Yes. As I said earlier, bondage is also protection, and this is just a current form of bondage, so that you and Mr. Renault can better understand the nature of bondage. ”

Bound by the glowing vines, his soul did not feel uncomfortable, he let the vines lock his whole body, his hands in his sleeves, his legs appeared under the hem of his robe, and his bare feet stepped steadily on the rhizome.

The human form of the soul incarnation is similar in height to Ryan, and as he walks, the vines that connect and bind to the soul will also be stretched with the spirit's movements. Even the hair grows from shoulder to waist in an instant.

"Originally, it wasn't like that, I was free to go anywhere in the ruins."

The soul raised its right hand, and its condensed index finger gently tugged at the glowing illusory vine, "Since the incarnation of that Pope came here to avoid being polluted, the relationship between me and the contract has been stronger...... It is difficult for my soul to leave a certain area underground, and I can only 'leave' for a short time by attaching my spiritual power to the dead things. ”

"These restraints are tough." The soul whispered slowly, "A powerful beast has been here, and it is very interested in my existence. However, when it opened its mouth and bit the vine that bound the form, I was not harmed, but the monster suffered multiple biting wounds on its body at the same time due to its own attack.
