"We, the desert people, have been ordered by the true god of water to guard the soul of the earth for generations, providing an indispensable source of water for all life in the human world, and everything is safe. But eight hundred years ago, a youkai covered in fire suddenly broke into our sacred land and tried to take away the soul of the earth......"

"Could it be that this monster is a flame beast?" the three demon spirit tigers seemed to be intrigued by this story, and turned over to interrupt.

Elder Gray nodded and said gloomily, "Exactly." Half of our clansmen were killed in the holy war that protected the soul of the earth, but we really tried our best, the flame fairy was really powerful, the flames it spit out could melt the strongest rock in an instant, we suffered heavy losses, and we were no longer able to protect the soul of the earth, and the soul of the earth was about to fall into the hands of the flame fairy. ”

"Just when we were desperate and ready to defend our dignity to the death, the true god of water finally appeared, and sent two immortals, one blue and one purple, to rescue us. But ......"

Elder Gray sighed deeply and said, "The last blow of the Flame Immortal has damaged the soul of the earth, the power of the soul of the earth has become weaker and weaker for eight hundred years, if the flame immortal makes a comeback, I am afraid that no one will be its opponent." ”

Ling Xuan said, "Elder Gray, what is the soul of the earth?"

Elder Gray said, "Soul of the Earth...... Alas, the soul of the earth is actually a drop of water that has existed since the time when the heavens and the earth were separated, it is the source of the water source of the Fang Jin world, and once it dries up, there will not be a drop of water in the Fang Jin world. Now, the Flame Immortal saw that it had damaged the soul of the earth with a blow, and the power of the soul of the earth was getting worse day by day, so it entrenched itself in the Red Flame Desert, scorching the world with the high-temperature flames on its body, and steaming the water between the heavens and the earth one by one, so as to weaken the power of the soul of the earth again, and one day, the entire heaven and earth would become a vast desert. ”

Ling Xuan's heart tightened, and he said, "Why did the Flame Beast do this?"

Elder Ash was silent for a moment and said, "Because the desert provides it with power and turns the entire land into a vast desert, it will have endless power, and at that time, it will probably not be difficult to dominate the heavens and the earth." ”

It's alarmist again. Thinking about this, the Three Demon Spirit Tiger asked in a muffled voice, "What happened later, what happened to the two immortals after defeating the Flame Beast?"

Elder Gray's expression suddenly darkened, and the two desert people around him were also depressed, as if in that holy war to defend the soul of the earth, they had lost not only their compatriots, but also something more important. Elder Gray was silent for a long time, he was convincing himself that his efforts back then were worth it.

"After defeating the Flame Immortal," after a long time, Elder Grey said gloomily, "That Tsing Yi Immortal asserted that the Flame Immortal would make a comeback, and in order to ensure that the soul of the earth would not be taken away by the Flame Immortal, the Tsing Yi Immortal asked me a question. ”

Ling Xuan asked, "What's the problem?"

Elder Grey blurted out, "Are you willing to give everything for your sacred mission?"

Ling Xuan frowned secretly and said, "What is the result?"

Elder Gray looked at the two desert peoples beside him, his eyes were full of apology and self-blame, the two of them looked bitter, and immediately nodded firmly, and said in unison: "Elder Gray, we have never regretted it, none of us have regretted it, for our sacred mission, we have never regretted it. ”

Elder Gray nodded gratefully, he was in a bit of a trance, and said, "Yes, we have no regrets, because we have a sacred mission. ”

He turned to Ling Xuan and said, "At that time, I did not hesitate to answer that I was willing, we were willing to give everything for our sacred mission. ”

Although the story told by Elder Gray was extremely boring, however, he could also hear the tension and tragedy of the battle at that time, and the Three Demon Spirit Tiger faintly felt that Elder Gray was hiding a big secret, and he couldn't wait to ask, "What if you agree?"

Elder Gray said distractedly, "How?" he then laughed, "Guess what?"

Ling Xuan and the Three Demon Spirit Tigers looked at him and didn't answer, Elder Gray looked at the two desert clans beside him, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "The immortal said, 'Although the Flame Beast is seriously injured, it will definitely make a comeback, and it will never be able to compete with your ability, and Zi'er and I can't stay by your side to protect the soul of the earth at all times. In this way, if you take the soul of the earth and hide underground, even if the flame beast has great power, it is absolutely incapable of going down to the ground to snatch the soul of the earth. ’”

The three demon spirit tigers glared at the tiger's eyes and roared in a muffled voice: "Zi'er, purple sons and daughters?"

Elder Gray nodded weakly and said, "Yes, that's what the Immortal in Tsing Yi said. He let out a long sigh, with a deep irony in his tone, and said: "So, we have become what we are now, living underground all the year round, like rats that cannot see the light, for our sacred and glorious mission, immortal and immortal." ”

Ling Xuan was taken aback by Elder Gray's words, and said in surprise, "Elder Gray, what do you mean......"

Elder Grey nodded, "That's right, eight hundred years ago, we were living people just like you. For the sake of our mission, we become filthy rats, lose the ability to reproduce, grow old and not die. ”

Ling Xuan couldn't understand the meaning of Elder Gray's words for a while, who had such magical powers, and actually turned a living person into a mouse, and he was not old and immortal? Zi'er, the Tsing Yi Immortal with Zi'er, could it be a Shangqing person?

The Three Demon Spirit Tiger roared in disbelief: "You mean, you are all a group of rats who have lived for more than 800 years? Old man, don't you dare to lie to the Tiger Master, otherwise the Tiger Master will kill you." ”

Elder Grey and the two desert peoples were powerless to care about the disrespect in his words, and Elder Grey said sarcastically, "That's right, we are all rats who have lived for more than eight hundred years. For more than 800 years, we have been useless except to learn to control the lifeless yellow sand, and we are indeed a group of useless rats that have lived for more than 800 years, haha......"

Although he was laughing, but in the laughter, it was full of deep helplessness and self-blame, as well as a deep sense of guilt, the two desert people around him hung their heads, although they did not cry, but clear tears rolled silently from their small mouse eyes. Ling Xuan was in a heavy mood, but he didn't know what to say to comfort this group of unfortunate people.

For a while, no one spoke, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence, the triangular building emitted a brilliant golden light, like a wave of undulating waves, beautiful, but Ling Xuan knew that under this magnificent beauty, there were too many desert people's suffering.

The Three Demon Spirit Tiger also lowered their heads, silently recalling Elder Gray's words, a group of living people, suddenly turned into dirty rats, for what mission, living in Tibet for more than 800 years, what kind of torture is this? Thinking about it, the Three Demon Spirit Tiger felt afraid, and he couldn't help but shiver.

After a long silence, Elder Gray sniffed and said proudly, "But I don't regret it, although we have been rats for more than eight hundred years, we have also brought vitality to the world, and we should be honored and proud of this. ”

"Yes, we don't regret it, we're proud. ”

Suddenly, a hysterical cry resounded through the world, as if it had infinite immortal power, echoing in this empty underground city, and it had not dispersed for a long time, this voice was like the oath of a group of soldiers when they came to the battlefield, sonorous and powerful, shocking, Ling Xuan's heart trembled, and it was only at this time that he suddenly found that the three or four thousand desert people had all left their houses at some point, and they were all around, looking at a few people with a determined expression, and the shout that resounded through the world was their heartfelt cry.

The Three Demon Spirit Tiger also found the three or four thousand desert peoples, he sat up, hurriedly grabbed the Soul Sword, and stared nervously around. Elder Gray looked around, smiled with relief, and said, "Thank you, thank you, for more than eight hundred years, I don't know if the decision at that time was right or wrong, but with your support, I know that I was right." Thank you, my people. ”

With that, he bowed deeply to the surroundings.

After he erected his short body, although his height was only up to Ling Xuan's waist, Ling Xuan felt that Elder Gray was so tall and his figure was so majestic. Ling Xuan was in awe and said, "Elder Gray, there must be a way to save you, right?"
