So she followed the spirit butterfly slowly, and walked for a long, long time, far away, so far that she no longer knew the way she came. About two hours later, the spirit butterfly stopped in front of a thick meridian and stopped moving.

Chao Yanyan felt that this should be the central meridian, it was ten times thicker than the other meridians, and there seemed to be light shining down from a high place inside, which was very beautiful.

She walked into this meridian and suddenly found that it was filled with a viscous liquid, and she couldn't breathe at all after entering. Fortunately, Ruoyi had taught her some mental techniques before, one of which could hold her breath temporarily, so she hurriedly closed her eyes and practiced, only to hold her breath temporarily before the last breath was gone.

But it didn't work, the breath-holding effort could only last for about ten minutes, and after ten minutes, although this viscous liquid pushed her upward, no one knew where the end was.

As soon as the effect of the mind method passed, she couldn't breathe again.

This mental method can only be practiced once every six hours, what can she do, she can only be suffocated.

This is the first time that her old life is facing a huge threat! What the Venerable with Different Pupils said was really right, she was a miserable child with a bad fate and facing death at any time.

Something flew up under your feet, like a big bubble.

Chao Yanyan struggled with the last old strength, struggled towards the bubble, and finally managed to get into the big bubble.

The long-lost air finally entered the respiratory system again, and she coughed for a while, gasping for a few breaths before she felt alive.

The bubble carried her up, and after rising for a while, she felt that the oxygen in the bubble was about to be sucked up by her, and she began to suffocate a little, and she came out of this bubble with her breath, found another bubble not far away, and got in.

After changing more than a dozen bubbles, I finally arrived at the very center of the sacred tree.

Here is a small platform formed by many blue tree veins, and the green nutrient solution delivered from the meridians surrounds these veins, nourishing them, and these veins are like the heart of the sacred tree, continuously delivering the nutrient solution to other branches and leaves.

No wonder ordinary people can't come here, if someone destroys the heart of this sacred tree, the whole sacred tree will wither and die.

Chao Yanyan climbed onto the platform formed by the interlaced tree veins and shouted "Ruoyi".

Her voice echoed a few times, sounding strangely panicked.

After waiting for a while, there was no response, and she shouted twice, but still no one answered her.

Did the dead man really not come?

Chao Yanyan was a little disappointed in her heart, was it because she hadn't seen Ruoyi? Could it be that she was looking forward to seeing him in her heart?

How could it be!

She slapped the back of her head, closed her eyes and shook her head, hoping to sober herself up.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a person standing in front of me, not someone else, but ...... It's a red cloud!

She was stunned for a second, tears fell out of her eyes, and by the time she reacted, she had already stepped forward and hugged the red cloud opposite.

Hongyun reached out and patted her on the back gently, and after a few moments, the choking in her throat gradually dissipated, and she whispered in his ear: "I know you are not him, he is no longer there, but no matter who you are, I have to thank you for letting me see him." ”

The man chuckled softly, "Lady, who is 'he' you are talking about?"

"Hongyun?" Chao Yanyan let go of him, took a step back, and looked the person in front of him up and down, "Are you really Hongyun?"

"My silly girl, of course I'm Red Cloud. He stepped forward and hugged her into his arms, "How are you doing these days? ”

Chao Yanyan pushed this person away, "You are not Hongyun at all, Hongyun's black-bellied and soft little lady, her speaking style is not like this." ”

The man took a step back, with a strange smile on his face, "How do you know that the red cloud you see is the most real red cloud?"

"What do you mean?" Chao Yanyan clasped his arms and looked at him angrily.

The man also clasped his arms and looked at her with a smile, "You're right, I'm not Hongyun, I'm the guardian spirit of this sacred tree." ”

Chao Yanyan was stunned for a moment, the elf she imagined should be a cute little girl with a pair of crystal wings flying in the sky, how could it be this type?

However, it doesn't matter what type he is, of course, he should be more enthusiastic when he has a request.

She lowered her arms, showed a smile, and said to the elf: "Hello elf! I am the new demon king, my name is Chao Yanyan, and I came to ask the lord about the source of life." ”

"Nine times out of ten, the people who come to the heart of this divine tree are for the source of life. "A few days ago, a man came to me and asked about the source of life, and I told him that it was long gone. ”

"Man, isn't he good-looking, called Ruoyi?"

The elf looked at her for a while, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know what it's called, but she looks really good, but it's a pity......"

Rolling his eyes towards Yan Yan, "It's a pity, it's a pity, what?"

"Nothing. The elven laughed again, "The Source of Life was taken away by a mortal many years ago. The mortal's name is Mu Jinyan, but I don't recommend you go to him. ”

"Why?"

"He is a mortal, and his longevity is only sixty or seventy at most, and now, he has been reincarnated hundreds of times, where are you going to find him?"

This also makes sense, but the source of life must be found, and Chao Yan Yan saluted the elf again, "Then please give me some advice, how should I find him?"

The elven made a foolish appearance, "You just want to find the source of life like this?

Chao Yanyan was silent for a while, but still nodded, "I'...... I understand, and I know that going against the odds won't end well, but I'm willing to bear all the consequences, and as long as I can save the people I want to save, it's worth everything. ”

Lord Elf snorted coldly, "The consequences of going against the sky are not as simple as you think, can you really bear it?"

"I can, I really can. Chao Yanyan was afraid that he would not believe it, so he added: "Actually, a long time ago, a great immortal told me that my life will not last long, and I will die soon. I was scared at first, but then I figured out that there is always a person who dies, and being able to protect the person you want to protect is enough even if you die. ”

The elf looked her up and down again, and the smile on his face gradually retracted, "Okay, since you have decided, then you tell me, you want the source of life, who do you want to save?"
