I'm sprouting again

The land of legends, the city of machines.

Just listening to these two words can arouse the strongest curiosity in people's hearts.

But Bai Xiao, who has just experienced the big elf incident and played a game of "I will chase you, I will kill you if I catch you", his strong desire to survive curbs his curiosity.

And Bai Xiao tried to bring back the curiosity that everyone had been hooked away, he said.

"Is it possible that the seeds are in the ruins, like the ruins of the miracles, and not in the legendary place?"

"That can't be done!" Xiong Lie directly denied Bai Xiao's idea.

Bai Xiao thought that Xiong Lie had some basis, but then he heard him continue, "That's so boring!"

Bai Xiao: "..."

Zang Feng ignored Xiong Lie and responded to Bai Xiao's words: "There is a possibility."

"But the city of machines is more likely," Xiong Lie said unwillingly, "That's the city of machines!"

Bai Xiao: "..."

He has truly experienced Master Xiong's determination to die.

Gushanna waved her hand and ended their naive argument: "Let's talk about the details when we get there. I'll tell Ah Zhan later that he lived there before and knows something about it, and I'll call you guys later. "

That's what it means to send a guest.

The few people didn't disturb Gushanna's rest, only left the map, and took away the rest.

After leaving the main palace, they went directly back to Zang Feng's side building.

"Sit down, let's take a shower and come out."

Bai Xiao greeted the two of them. The four members of their family were covered in dust, especially the chicken cubs were almost turned into coal balls.

Gou Gou responded to Xiong Lie, and Gou Gou skillfully called the smart butler, and asked the palace servants to bring some of his favorite snacks.

Xiong Lie twisted his upper body, watching Bai Xiao and Zang Feng leaving.

After watching for a few seconds, Xiong Lie suddenly turned his head back, and then sat down beside Gougou.

He was physically strong, but when he fell down, the sofa shook, and the box in Gougou's hand almost didn't fall.

Gou Gou protected the box with both hands, looked at Xiong Lie, and muttered angrily: "Master Xiong, what are you doing?"

"I told you to call you elder brother, unlucky boy." Xiong Lie slapped Gou Gou's head, then whispered, "You don't think His Highness and Bai Xiao, what's wrong~"

Gougou was at a loss: "What?"

Xiong Lie patted Gougou again with hatred, and said: "Bai Xiao's attitude just now is like his own home. And just now, they all walked through the right side door, and the only place to take a shower is Your Highness' bedroom."

Gou Gou understood, but still didn't understand what Xiong Lie was excited about: "So what? Aren't they lovers?"

"Hey, it's quite normal for others to take a mandarin duck bath so quickly, but our Highness is different. With his emotional intelligence, how can he..."

Xiong Lie's voice paused, then he stroked his chin and thought for two seconds, then slapped his head.

"Don't say, it's because of this kind of emotional intelligence that he can really do it at this speed. After all, romance and the like are a bit difficult for him."

Gou Gou: "..."

Gou Gou: "I think it's better for us to talk about something else."

I always feel that talking about this topic will set up a lot of flags.

Xiong Lie smacked it twice, and seemed to have nothing to gossip about, so he nodded and turned his attention to the box in Gou Gou's hand.

"Okay, let's see what's in the box."

■

Of course, Bai Xiao and Zang Feng didn't take a bath for a mandarin duck. Although the door between the two bedrooms was useless, they still obediently went to their respective places to take a bath. With the linkage of perception, the two dare not act rashly.

Bai Xiao didn't think it would be difficult. This kind of uncertainty of "we all know we will do it, but we don't know when we will do it" has a unique sweetness during love.

Bai Xiao enjoyed it quite a bit.

More than an hour later, Bai Xiao finally came out of the bathroom, holding the chick that had recovered its golden fluffy fluff, and the ball that had become glistening.

Zang Feng had been waiting outside, and after Bai Xiao came out, the two returned to the living room.

In the living room, there were a few plates on the coffee table, and there were only some food scraps left in them; there were many bits and pieces scattered on the sofa, and the mailed box was put aside.

As for Gou Gou and Xiong Lie, they were squatting in front of the sofa, watching a small mechanical toy on the carpet "creaking" running back and forth.

None of the movements of their coming out attracted them.

Bai Xiao was a little curious, he walked over with his two sons in his arms, bent over to look, and asked.

"What are you doing?"

Xiong Lie and Gou Gou raised their heads, their four eyes sparkling.

Xiong Lie pointed at the little mechanical toy, and said cheerfully, "This is a toy brought by the puppy's parents. It's interesting."

Bai Xiao looked along and saw clearly that it was a palm-sized duckling, a bit like a tin toy from the ancient earth era.

The appearance of the little duck can be said to be very simple.The paint hasn't even been applied yet, and the bare metal plates are still somewhat rusty. The rivets and screws at the joints make a "creaking" sound when they are moved, as if an iron plate is about to break.

at this time.

The little duck's two feet will fly up and down, and it will turn back after half a meter away, back and forth, like a perpetual motion machine.

Bai Xiao didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Xiong Lie looked up at him and asked, "Have you heard of magic puppets?"

Bai Xiao thought for a moment: "Gougou said about a similar faction founded by his parents, but it seems to be called the Mechanic Demon—"

"It's all the same." Xiong Lie interrupted Bai Xiao, then reached out and grabbed the duckling on the ground, spreading it with its feet up.

"This is the first drawing of the magic puppet, and it is also the first finished product."

Bai Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and became a little interested.

He squatted down and took a closer look at the duckling, but he still didn't find any sparkle of soul, so he was a little puzzled.

"I remember Gougou said that this kind of puppet has a soul."

Gou Gou nodded aside: "Yes! Yes!"

Bai Xiao glanced at the duckling again, then raised his eyebrows, the meaning was obvious - this one didn't seem to be there.

"Listen to the children bluffing."

However, Xiong Lie rolled his eyes and said: "The puppets of this faction can indeed create souls, but that is also a very small probability, and it is necessary for the soul to have sanity - not attached to a smart chip, but all driven by magic energy The puppet needs to be sane, anyway, the puppy’s parents have been said to have made one for so many years, and I haven’t even seen it.”

The dog was unconvinced, puffing its cheeks, like a child who refused to admit defeat: "Anyway, it has a soul!"

Bai Xiaole was happy, and stopped talking about this, but looked at the little duck in Xiong Lie's hand, and asked Xiong Lie: "I look no different from ordinary toys, what's the trick here?"

"Hey, come and see."

Xiong Lie laughed, then tapped the little duck's back with his fingers, and the little duck's feet stopped "clicking".

Then Xiong Lie opened the duckling's abdominal cavity, revealing the contents inside.

Bai Xiao stretched his neck and took a look, and saw that the opened abdominal cavity was empty, but there were many thin blue fluorescent lines on the metal skin inside.

These thin lines are layered on top of each other and arranged in a certain order.

And in the center where these thin lines converged, where the center of the duckling's abdominal cavity hung in the air, there was a small crystal-like blue stone.

The blue stone is in the shape of a date pit, and the thin threads that spread out are entangled with the threads on the metal skin, and are slowly rotating.

These thin threads and stones intertwine to form a condensed star map of solid colors.

Bai Xiao was fascinated, and it took a while to analyze those things carefully, and then discovered the real body of those thin lines.

Magic Array.

But it was a little different from the magic circles that Bai Xiao learned.

The general magic circle is a closed shape, in order to achieve the purpose of confining the magic power for its own use after calling the magic power.

But the magic circle on these metal skins has an opening, and the final stronghold of that opening is the small blue stone suspended in the middle.

"You know mechs, right?"

Xiong Lie pointed to the blue lines and said to Bai Xiao, "On the mecha armor, the Ex-Machina Master will also draw some magic circles to achieve the fusion of the magic power of the materials and to make the mecha armor and the fighter to be melted together The magic power in the magic core fits the purpose.

The original idea of ​​this kind of puppet was to use the concept of armor. "

Xiong Lie's finger pointed to the small stone in the duckling's abdominal cavity.

"However, they have a bold innovation - they gave the puppet a 'magic core' of its own."

Bai Xiao understood: "Then, these magic puppets can move by themselves instead of relying on the warrior's magic core?"

Xiong Lie nodded and praised: "Smart!"

Then Xiong Lie restored the duckling, casually swept away the plate on the table, and put the duckling on the coffee table.

Then, he clasped the little duck's back with his fingers, and the little duck immediately began to "creak" and walk back and forth on the table.

Xiong Lie stood up and sat back on the sofa. Seeing this, Bai Xiao also sat back on the sofa.

He just sat down when Zang Feng came over and sat beside him.

Bai Xiao was taken aback, then glanced at Zang Feng.

Zang Feng also looked at him, with doubts in his eyes, as if he was asking, "Why are you looking at me?"

Bai Xiao: "..."

He was sitting on a single sofa.

Well, the sofas in the palace are quite big, and it doesn't feel crowded when two people sit down.

Bai Xiao pursed his lips and looked away, but the two sons in his arms couldn't stand it.

Two balls, one big and one small, jumped out of their mother's (father's) arms, and then jumped directly onto the coffee table, looking at the duckling curiously.

Bai Xiao ignored them and looked at Xiong Lie again, obviously wanting to continue listening to the story.

Xiong Lie's big copper bell eyes showed a wretched light, he winked and compared the current postures of Bi Zang Feng and Bai Xiao, and then he laughed a few times.

Bai Xiao: "..."

To be honest, no one would think that this person is a mecha master when he goes out.

Xiong Lie saw that Bai Xiao and Zang Feng both looked calm, and didn't see the imaginary red face, so he looked away in disinterest, and continued talking about the magic puppet.

"Well, although the idea just mentioned sounds simple, in fact, it is tantamount to realizing it.

But they didn't give up, and they really figured out a way - one of them is an Ex-Machina master, the other is a magician, and both of them are geniuses. In the end, together, they figured out a new type of combination of machinery and magic. magic circle. "

Bai Xiao thought it should be the magic circles that opened their mouths.

"However, these are of course not enough to form magic puppets, because the most critical 'magic core' has never had suitable materials.

They searched hard for many years, but they didn't find it until a few years before the tree of life's nirvana. "

Here comes the key.

Seeing that Xiong Lie shut up and stopped talking, Bai Xiao still looked at him.

So Bai Xiao understood, and quickly cheered wittily: "How did you find it? What kind of material is it?"

Satisfied, Xiong Lie gave the answer: "That is a rare ore, and its source on Kester has not been discovered until now. That ore is full of magic power, and it can even be said to be a condensate of magic power——and magic The concentrated magic crystal ore produced by the array is different, it will not be consumed, and it will not output magic power.

It is the medium of soul and magic.

As for how they found it - this is about the city of machines. "

Xiong Lie's tone changed, from an unfathomable look to a hot-blooded older youth.

Bai Xiao leaned back at that moment, showing a vigilant look.

After detouring for a long time, I still arrived at the City of Machines. This is not because Xiong Lie deliberately made nonsense in order to go to the City of Machines, right?

But soon Bai Xiao overturned this idea. After all, if it was nonsense, Zang Feng would not be unresponsive.

Just when Bai Xiao was struggling, Xiong Lie had already started talking about the city of machinery.

"As we all know, in Kester, magic power is the source of power. And the erratic and mysterious magic power has also created many unexplainable things. For example, this world that exists in another space.

There have been many such legendary places since ancient times, but few of them are real.

And this mechanical city is one of the few real ones in these legends! "

Bai Xiao narrowed his eyes and questioned: "What evidence do you have to prove that it is real?"

Xiong Lie seemed to have guessed that Bai Xiao was going to ask this question a long time ago, and when he heard the words, he raised his head with confidence in the victory, and threw out an answer that surprised Bai Xiao: "Because Gougou's mother went in."

Bai Xiao's eyes widened, and he subconsciously looked at Gou Gou.And Gou Gou was obviously hearing about this for the first time, and he looked more surprised than Bai Xiao.

As if afraid that Bai Xiao would not believe it, Xiong Lie pointed to Bai Xiao's side with his chin, and said, "Your Highness and His Majesty both know about this. Da Lu also knows about it."

Bai Xiao turned to look at Zang Feng.

Zang Feng: "I heard my mother tell stories when I was young."

"That's not a story, it's the truth!"

However, Xiong Lie was extremely determined, and without waiting for Bai Xiao to question him, he continued to speak eloquently.

"It's no wonder others were suspicious, because after the destruction of the city on the edge of the desert, the survivors' remarks caused a lot of news reports, and there were more or less news about using it as a gimmick. It was very hot there for a while, But because there was no real evidence, and it was no longer the exit of the desert trade road, it soon fell into the cold again.

Until one day, Gougou's parents traveled there, proving that what the survivors said was not nonsense. "

"According to Gougou's mother herself, they lived there for half a month, with the purpose of hunting the teeth of a monster in the desert to experiment with the 'magic core' material.

Then on the seventh night, she had a dream in which she went to a magical place. "

"Everything in that place is made of magic, including people - in human terms, the soul. Magic is the foundation of the world there, and you can create whatever you want there.

She was so happy that she started experimenting there. "

Bai Xiao was taken aback.

Do experiments? ? ?

However, Xiong Lie didn't think there was anything wrong with dreaming of a mysterious place and directly taking out tools to do experiments.

On the contrary, Xiong Lie rubbed his hands, still looking envious.

"What an ideal place, infinitely usable magic power, no need to draw a magic circle, you can directly materialize the magic power into what you want. — Ah, if only I could go there once."

Bai Xiao: "..."

I don't really understand your preferences, Ex-Machines.

Xiong Lie regretted for two seconds, and returned to the topic: "She is an Ex-Machina master, but she can use the magic circle that her husband can draw there - there is no restriction on occupations there!

Of course, she didn't want to let go of this opportunity, so she kept experimenting. Experiments that were not ideally done due to various restrictions can be easily completed there.It only took her a whole night to get a breakthrough for the magic puppet.

——She experimented out what conditions must be met for the magic puppet's 'magic core'. "

"After waking up from the dream, she told her husband about the dream, but unfortunately, she was the only one who went in. So she told the conclusion she came to. They went to the desert to hunt the materials they wanted, but unfortunately found that, That material cannot be a 'magic core'—and the defect of that material is exactly the same as her calculation."

"But it is also this result that makes them a little frustrated, because they don't know whether there are 'magic core' materials that meet the calculated conditions in the world.

Although they went out to hunt afterwards, she would choose to rest more often, and she wanted to go into that place again to conduct a more perfect experiment.But unfortunately, she waited for another eight days, but never went in again. "

"But a year later, when they passed by there again, she finally had that dream again and came to that place again as she wished.

But this time, she already understood that this place was not a dream, so she had a bold idea - she wanted to create such a 'magic core'. "

When Xiong Lie said this, he sighed enviously, but his tone was not jealous, but admiring.

"Do you know what she did? She hurt herself with a magic circle and put herself in a coma to stay in that world.

She was in a coma for a full month, and then finally created the 'magic core' she wanted in that place.But the question arises again, how to bring out the things of that world? "

Bai Xiao was completely attracted by the story, and he became nervous, curious about what method Gougou's mother used.

Xiong Lie grinned.

"She quickly figured out a way - all magic power has a core. That place is the same.

She found the nucleus and made a deal with it.She can take away the 'magic core' that she created, and got an important news, that is, the 'magic core' ore that she deduced does exist on Kester planet-they are traveling around now, just to Find that ore.

In exchange, she taught the core all about magic golems. "

"Then she woke up, and when she took her hand out of the quilt, she was holding the 'magic core' in her hand."

Xiong Lie's ending sound was played very lightly, as if deliberately prolonging the end of this magical story.

It took two seconds before he ended the story: "So, that legendary place really exists."

At the end of the story, Bai Xiao took a light breath, and his previous desire to survive was finally overwhelmed by curiosity.

That magical legendary place, I really want to see it.

"Ok?"

Gou Gou, who was also fascinated by the sound, made a puzzled voice, and then asked, "Master Xiong, you just said that the place is full of magic power. Then why is it called the City of Machinery?"

Bai Xiao was taken aback for a moment, he didn't pay attention to this detail, but now that he thinks about it, after Xiong Lie told the story of Gougou's mother, he described that place as a "land of legends".

Xiong Lie grinned, with an expression of "I was discovered by you", and said with a smile: "That's because the legendary place changed again later."

"Just a hundred years ago—after the Tree of Life's Nirvana, the probability of people breaking into that legendary place became greater, and there was no threshold, just some people were randomly selected to enter.

And everyone who went in said that it was a mechanical city.Everything inside is made of machinery, but there are no smart chips in the machinery, nor is there any energy drive.

It's like someone gave a mechanical soul. "

Hearing this, Bai Xiao and Gou Gou's eyes lit up, and they shouted at the same time.

"Magic puppet!"

"Mechanical magic puppet!"

Xiong Lie nodded: "That's right, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I think those machines are the core of that legendary land, a new world transformed with the knowledge of the magic puppet left by Gougou's mother."

That being the case, it all makes sense.

No wonder, when Xiong Lie, Zang Feng and His Majesty the King saw that place before, they almost all believed that the seed was in the city of machinery.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Bai Xiao has no choice but to let go of his desire to survive, and compromised: "But, even if the seeds are really inside, how do we get in?"

Xiong Lie slapped his thigh immediately: "I know!"

Bai Xiao: "You know?"

Xiong Lie: "Yes!"

Bai Xiao: "Then why haven't you been in for so many years?"

Xiong Lie: "..."

Bai Xiao didn't know what switch he touched.

Anyway, after he finished asking this sentence, he saw Xiong Lie on the opposite side faint at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Such a big man, with his head drooping and his mouth pursed, looked as if he was about to cry in a second.

Bai Xiao: "..."

An inexplicable sense of guilt.

After a few seconds, Xiong Lie revealed the answer with his head downcast: "Although I know how to get in, the problem is that the city of machinery doesn't want me to go in."

Bai Xiao: "..."

A little sympathy.

Zang Feng interrupted Xiong Lie's grief, and asked: "What way."

Lian Xiong, beaten by Shuang, perked up a little, and pulled out two rows of light screens from the terminal, a total of sixteen.

"These are the interview materials of those who have entered the city of machinery. I summed it up and found one thing in common among them."

As he said that, Xiong Lie fixed each light screen on a frame, and each frame was a blueprint, or photo, or obviously a holographic image.

And what is presented in these pictures are all messy things, including Warcraft materials, weapons, decorations, and even a girl's earrings.

Xiong Lie: "After these people entered the city of machinery, a robot told them that the core has taken a fancy to something of them, if they want to come in and play, they have to use that thing as a 'ticket' to pay them before they can enter and play.

These people have paid for 'tickets', and these things are the 'tickets' they paid for. "

Xiong Lie sighed, with a sad and helpless tone: "In short, there is only one 'ticket' qualification to enter, which is to let the core of the city of machinery fancy.

Since then, I have been going there five times a year, and each time I bring ten items, each of which is unique.

— but it just wasn't chosen!I don't know what the core is thinking, isn't the thing I brought interesting?Very interesting! "

Bai Xiao: "..."

More sympathetic.

"But this time it's different!"

Bai Xiao was still sympathizing with Xiong Lie, so he heard Xiong Lie's voice change, and then his big copper bell eyes looked at Bai Xiao, and his eyes were full of trust in Bai Xiao.

Xiong Lie said confidently: "That core must be very interested in you!"

Bai Xiao: "..."

Sounds like a huge flag.

The suppressed desire for survival in Bai Xiao's heart grew vigorously again in an instant.

"If that's the case, it should be no problem for Xiao Xiao to go in."

Zang Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiong Lie's statement, instead he analyzed it accordingly.

"There is a power attraction between the seeds, just like those elves were close to Xiaoxiao in the ruins of the miracle before. If there is really seed power in it, if Xiaoxiao gets close, it will definitely be close to Xiaoxiao, I will let Xiaoxiao in."

Gou Gou was a little worried: "But if this is the case, will the seeds inside attack you like that big elf?"

These words hit Bai Xiao's heart, he was always worried about repeating the same mistakes!

"probably not."

Zang Feng shook his head, denying Gou Gou's worries.

Zang Feng said: "Based on the experience of the miracle ruins, although the big elf used the game to make things difficult for us, the reason is because Xiaoxiao sheltered me, the 'contract breaker'.

But now, although Xiaoxiao and I have not formally formed a contract, we have already established a contract.Moreover, I got the 'Guardian Beast' from the Tree of Life, which proved that the Tree of Life recognized Xiaoxiao's choice of me as a 'Contract Maker', and also erased my status as a 'Contract Violator'. The consequences have not been eliminated.

So if you encounter this situation again, you should not attack us again. "

"That's good." Gougou heaved a sigh of relief.

Bai Xiao also heaved a sigh of relief.

But before the breath was over, Bai Xiao suddenly remembered something, and his heart ached again.

Bai Xiao said with a chuckle: "I have a question. Did all those people in the past correspond to the same thing? Then... if they are only interested in me, is it possible that they put me in alone?"

The other three: "..."

Bai Xiao: "..."

Why are you silent!Didn't you think of this problem!

Zang Feng frowned slightly, and said after a while: "If the seeds are inside, then I should be with you. If it's not the seeds, the choice to get in or not is in our hands, so it should be fine."

Bai Xiao still felt a little overwhelmed, but his mood was soothed by Zang Feng.

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Xiong Lie immediately leaned forward, and said with a flattering smile: "Have you decided? Let's go. You see, the journey is so far, and you have never been there, Your Highness. You must need someone who is familiar with the place." 'Lead the way."

Bai Xiao: "..."

Xiong Lie: "Look, in terms of familiarity, is it better than me who went five times a year and ten years in a row? Right!"

Bai Xiao: "..."

Here, Gou Gou was not to be outdone, and raised his hands high and high: "I want to go too, if it is really what Master Xiong said, all the machines there are made by my mother's blueprints." Magic puppet, I want to see it too!"

Up to this point, Bai Xiao has no intention of stopping, and Xiong Lie is indeed more reliable to bring teammates.

As for Gougou... It was related to his mother anyway, and there was no reason to stop him from letting him go.

Bai Xiao looked at Zang Feng and wanted to ask him if he could take them with him.

Zang Feng didn't wait for him to ask, and said, "It's up to you to decide."

Bai Xiao smiled, "Then let's go together."

Then he added, "But you'd better bring something that the City of Mechanics might be interested in."

Gou Gou: "Yeah!"

Xiong Lie: "This time there will be no problem!"

Bai Xiao: "..."

You go five times a year, ten years in a row, and every time you bring ten things that don't interest anyone, where do you get your confidence?

The matter of going to the city of machinery was settled like this.

A few people will go back to prepare later, but the departure date has not yet been determined-this matter has to be discussed with the king.

But that night, Bai Xiao and the others did not see the king and husband, and they did not see them for the next two days.

It wasn't until the third day that the king's personal guards sent word that the king let them pass.

But this time, the place where the king summoned them was not the reception hall or greenhouse of the palace.

But in Crystal Palace.

■

This is the first time Bai Xiao saw Crystal Palace.

The restrictions outside the Crystal Palace have been lifted and it exists for all to see.

From afar, Bai Xiao saw the large "crystal" that seemed to grow out of the ground.And the huge tree crown that seems to be alive in the "Crystal".

Bai Xiao immediately understood where it was.

tree like.

Zang Feng was also very surprised at the location of the summoning, and even more surprised that his mother would cancel the restrictions of the Crystal Palace.

Inexplicably, he felt a little apprehensive.

When they arrived in front of the Crystal Palace, the guards opened the door for them, but they didn't intend to follow.

Zang Feng looked at the stairs in front of him, turned around to look at Bai Xiao, then took the two balls from Bai Xiao's arms and put them under his arms, and said to Bai Xiao: "Follow me, be careful."

Bai Xiao was a little nervous—even though he didn't know why he was so nervous, he nodded: "Yes."

Glass stairs spiraled down.

Halfway through, Bai Xiao found the scorched black marks of the tree statue, and he couldn't help remembering the twig that Zang Feng gave him for testing - now it's a new tree statue, still in Zang Feng's space button.

The two went all the way to the bottom.

Although the Crystal Palace is very deep and does not have any power lights, it has an ingenious design that can lead the sunlight to the bottom. It is not too bright, but it is clear enough to see things.

On the grass below, Gushanna and Zang Zhan were there.Tianjiao is also there.

Gushanna only wore a simple long dress today, she was delicate and gentle, probably because of the light, her face was not as pale as seen in the sun, and she even had a healthy blush.

On the contrary, Zang Zhan's face was not as elegant and gentle as usual, but cold and haggard.

Bai Xiao had doubts in his heart, but he could only bury it in his heart.

He and Zang Feng bowed to the king and his wife, and obediently stood aside.

Gushanna smiled and said, "You must be wondering why I called you here."

Bai Xiao nodded hesitantly.

Zang Feng replied directly: "Yes, mother."

Gushanna sighed, she took two steps forward, and Tianjiao followed suit.

Zang Zhan hesitated for a moment, and then strode up to follow, reaching out to support Gushanna's shoulders.

Gushana stopped in front of the tree statue.

She looked up at the huge tree statue in front of her, the trunk in front of her was charred black, it looked like a black curtain, making her more and more conspicuous.

Gushanna took a deep breath and sighed: "I'm proud of being the one who made the contract, but I didn't expect that I would become the one who violated the contract. Fortunately, the tree of life did not abandon Kester."

Gushanna turned around, looked at Bai Xiao, and then saluted Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao had never seen this ceremony before, but he seemed to have such an impression in his mind.

This is the bonder's loyalty to the tree of life.

Bai Xiao's head went blank for a moment, but he didn't give way to avoid the gift.

Gushanna straightened her body after saluting, and smiled at Bai Xiao: "I implore you, take back the power of my tree of life."

As soon as her words fell, it was as if an invisible hammer made a muffled sound in the air.

Zang Zhan's hand hanging on one side immediately clenched into a fist, and his eyelids drooped slightly, as if trying to suppress something.Tian Jie crouched beside Gushanna, as if he had already seen the trajectory of future destiny.

Bai Xiao was inexplicably flustered, and he said, "I don't quite understand what you mean."

Gushanna smiled and said: "Although the power of the tree of life is overflowing, there are already three powers condensed by the core. You are the first, I am the second, and the third should be the place selected by the egg yolk.

When the power of nuclear condensation in the three places merges into one, a new tree of life is born, and other overflowing power will naturally return.

But whether the power of the third seed is strong or weak, and what is the core that condenses it, we don't know. "

Gushanna sighed, "You promised to take back the power of the tree of life and unlock Kester's blockade. This is what I, as the king of Kester, failed to do. So, I can only do my best provide you with strength."

After finishing speaking, she pleaded again: "Please take back the power of the tree of life here."

Bai Xiao understood now, but her heart became heavier.

If he remembered correctly, those who violated the contract would be backlashed and punished by the power of the tree of life. King Gushana had been punished for violating the contract for so many years, and it was because of this that she was getting weaker and weaker.

But even so, she desperately maintained the unilateral contract, keeping the illusion that the tree of life was alive, so as to maintain Kester's precarious peace.

The longer the breach of contract, the harsher the punishment—including punishment that would carry over to her descendants.

But the real penalty for breaching the contract comes at the moment the contract expires.

The current Gushanna, not to mention that kind of punishment, I'm afraid she can't bear even a slightly heavier external attack.

Bai Xiao knew this a long time ago.

It is precisely because of this that Bai Xiao's initial idea was to finally get back the power from Gushanna, build a new tree of life when getting it back, and forgive Gushanna, so as to eliminate the punishment for violating the contract.

But I didn't expect that Gushanna would propose to withdraw her power halfway.

"Mother!"

Zang Feng took half a step forward, clenched his teeth, and expressed his objection with his golden eyes.

"I won't die."

Gushanna looked at Zang Feng lovingly, smiled comfortingly, then looked at Bai Xiao, and said with relief and gratitude, "Because Xiaoxiao won't let me die."

Because Baixiao is a new tree, although it has not yet fully grown, it is at the stage when the old tree is dead and the new tree is not yet formed.The punishment of the old tree cannot be erased by the new tree, and the wish of the new tree cannot be cut off by the old tree.

So Gushana will not die.

But it won't be easy either.

This is understood by everyone present.
