There is always a man who wants to marry him

Seeing Fei Qi opened his eyes, Tie Mian immediately asked with concern: "Are you all right?"

Fei Qi shook her head, and was about to tell Tie Mian what she had said to the strange beast, when the strange beast Cen also returned to its body.

"You are so weak that you can't even maintain your soul state!" Cen said depressingly.

Before Fei Qi could answer, Xi, the guardian beast, said, "Lord Cen, you don't want him to be your substitute, do you?"

"Ah... that..." Cen looked around guiltily.

"Master Cen, I've told you many times that you are unique and irreplaceable!" Xi shook his head, threw the hairball from the top of his head to the ground, and then spoke sternly in front of his relatives and iron faces. Rebuked, "But you are trying to make a human being your substitute, do you also plan to let me be a guardian beast for a human?!"

"He has his own guardian beast, so he doesn't need you!" Cen couldn't help but talk back.

Xi was taken aback, and looked up at Tie Mian, "You mean him?"

"Yes! Yes!" Cen immediately jumped back to the top of Xi's head, his favorite place.

"What are you talking about?" Tie Mian couldn't help asking.

"I'm afraid I have to talk about it slowly." Xi sighed and explained Cen's intention in detail.

Like all young creatures, the young Cen is also full of curiosity about the outside world, and has always wanted to see for himself what the scenery outside the snow-capped mountains looks like.However, the guardian instinct of the alien beast confines it to the lair. Whenever it wants to leave, its body will be imprisoned, so the alien beast wants to find another alien beast to guard the lair instead of it. be liberated.

"Why can't you leave the lair?" Fei Qi asked suspiciously.

"Because of that tree." Xi turned around, and directed the eyes of Tie Mian and Fei Qi to a giant tree in the middle of the valley, "It's the mother tree planted by the mother, and every strange beast will give birth to itself. The umbilical cord of the child is buried under the tree, which connects the child to the mother tree by blood, and also makes the next generation of alien beasts under the control of the mother tree, unable to escape the oath left by the mother."

"If I have a child, I will never bury its umbilical cord under a tree again!" Cen muttered angrily.

"My umbilical cord is not buried here, how can I replace you?" Fei Qi asked noncommittally.

"It doesn't have to be an umbilical cord, as long as it's flesh and blood." Cen immediately said, "As long as you bury your flesh and blood under the tree and let the mother tree absorb it, it will think that I have been replaced by a new beast, and then give up on it. My confinement—approximately looks like this."

"Probably?" Fei Qi looked at Cen suspiciously.

"I just learned about this from the memory passed down to me by my mother, and I haven't tried it myself." Cen replied with a guilty conscience.

At this time, Tie Mian suddenly interjected, "What will happen if the tree is cut down?"

"Ah?" Both Cen and Xi showed stunned expressions.

"Are you going to die?" Tie Mian continued to ask.

"Probably not." Cen replied uncertainly.

"We can't harm this tree." Xi said, "This tree is the witness of the contract between the mother and human beings, and this contract can only be annulled by the human side—wait, maybe you can help us."

"How can he help? He didn't inherit his mother's strength." Cen said disapprovingly.

"It is precisely because he is not the heir of the mother's blood that he can end this contract on behalf of the human side." Xi's eyes were shining, and he was obviously eager to leave this place just like Cen.

Tie Mian didn't speak any more, let go of Fei Qi, walked towards the mother tree in the valley, drew out his long sword, and pointed it at the mother tree.

In an instant, Fei Qi felt a panic, as if a voice in his mind was shouting loudly: Stop him!

"The mother tree is afraid!" Cen also clearly felt this emotion, and exclaimed in surprise.

"I can cut it down." Tie Mian said this, but he didn't actually hurt the mother tree with his sword. He turned around and said to Xi, "But not now."

"What do you want?" Xi Dong asked bluntly, piercing his iron face.

"Protection." Tie Mian put away his long sword and returned to Fei Qi, "I'm going to the north again. During this period, I hope you can protect my wife and prevent him from being harmed. If I come back If he can appear in front of me unscathed, I will help you and cut down this mother tree."

"What if you don't come back?" Cen asked with a stare.

"Then I'll bury my flesh and blood under the tree and stay here instead of you." Fei Qi replied on behalf of Tie Mian.

"No..." Tie Mian didn't want to make such a promise, and immediately wanted to stop it.

Fei Qi grabbed his hand, raised her head, and looked into his eyes, "If you can't come back, then I have nowhere to go. It's better to stay here and make the best use of everything."

Tie Mian shook his body, held Fei Qi's hand behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back!"

Iron Face left a promise to return within three months, and returned to Narsen after a night's rest in the valley.

Fei Qi doesn't want him to help Youdu, nor does he want him to save the members of the Lei Nuo clan, but he also knows that Tie Mian has been the king of the tribe after all, even if he doesn't obey the country and authority in everything like Youdu. From a different perspective, it is inevitable that I will have a sense of responsibility and a desire to protect the people in Anan mainland.

And he hoped that Iron Face could belong to him completely, and he would no longer be nostalgic or concerned about everything else.

Therefore, Fei Qi did not stop Tie Mian, because stopping Tie Mian at this moment may save Tie Mian from trouble and pain, but it will also make him fall into self-blame and regret in the days to come.

With this in mind, Fei Qi sent Tie Mian away again.

But when the figure of the iron face disappeared from sight again, Fei Qi regretted it again.

——He didn't want Iron Face to leave at all!

Fei Qi lowered her eyelids, suppressing the thought of chasing after her.

After Tie Mian left, Fei Qi lived in Cen's small valley.

There is no house in the valley, and Fei Qi can only live together with Cen in a lair converted from a cave, filling his stomach with food provided by Xi every day.Fortunately, there are many trees in the valley, and Fei Qi can use a spell to light a bonfire at any time, and roast the prey brought back by Xi. Although the taste is not very good, at least there is no need to drink blood.

After getting along with each other, Fei Qi discovered that Xi didn't eat meat, and Cen, who was small, would eat anything, but he couldn't leave the snow-capped mountains, so Xi could only help him hunt.

"In order to prevent Mr. Cen from becoming food, the Guardian Beast must be a vegetarian." Xi explained solemnly.

Fei Qi looked at the tall Xi, then at Cen who could be swallowed by Xi in one mouthful, laughed twice, and changed the subject.

In a blink of an eye, more than two months have passed, and Tie Mian still hasn't returned.

Cen was the first to become anxious, but although its power was more stable and stronger than Fei Qi, it could only cover the Anan Continent and could not reach Narsen in the north. No matter how anxious it was, it could only stare blankly.

Xi is not in a hurry, and comforts Cen from time to time, even if Tien Mian fails to come back, it can try an alternative plan, let Fei Qi replace it to stay in the snow mountain.

"I still hope that no one will be trapped here." Cen said seriously, "Besides, it is still uncertain whether he can replace me."

Hearing such words, Fei Qi smiled, said nothing, and there was no disturbance in her heart.Just like what he told Tie Mian, if Tie Mian can't come back, then he really has nowhere to go, even if Cen drives him away, he doesn't know where he should go or where he can go.

Seeing Fei Qi's resignation, Xi also assured him with a little sympathy that as long as he was sure to stay, it would return to its own group and choose a guardian beast to accompany him.

Fei Qi is noncommittal to Xi's promise, and he is not worried that Tie Mian will never return.

——Tie Mian has never broken his promise to him, and it won't this time.

Fei Qi thought for sure.

Compared with whether Iron Face can return on time or even earlier, Fei Qi wants to know whether Narsen's second expeditionary force has arrived in the Anan Continent, but the priests did not call Cen again. Cen is very concerned about their situation. He was also not interested, and only told Fei Qi that all the previous intruders had been wiped out, and those who escaped from the claws of the herd had already been caught and killed by humans.

Fei Qi didn't ask Cen to check if there were any new intruders.Although he is no longer in the mood to take revenge on the major clans for what happened to him, he also does not want to help them.He has to admit that the short time in Narsen still left a mark on him, making him clearly aware of the unbearable situation brought to him by the blood in his body—whether in Anan or Narsen, Once his lineage is exposed, all that awaits him is a dead end.

Fei Qi only hopes that this war will end as soon as possible. It doesn't matter who the winner is, the best result is that both sides suffer.When everyone returns to their respective lands to lick their wounds, he can be with Iron Face at ease and be a traveler traveling around.

Seeing that there were only a few days left before the three-month deadline, Cen became more and more anxious, and Fei Qi finally began to feel uneasy.

That night, Fei Qi finally entered the dream state again, but what he saw was not an iron face, but a battlefield where blood flowed into rivers and corpses were strewn across the field.

This is a battle between the tribal clan and the Narsen people. There are thinly dressed clan remains on the ground, as well as the Narsen spaceship that fell to the ground, and some places seem to have been polluted by poison. vitality.

——Has the war finally started again?

Fei Qi thought this way, but unconsciously came to the long-lost Haimila.

Bailang Island has also become a ruin, but there are no corpses on the island, only burned houses and messy traces. It seems that the people who live here have moved away long before the war started, so that the intrusion Those who can only burn their houses to vent their anger.

Fei Qi turned around and went to Hailang's hut, only to find that it hadn't been damaged, but it was also empty, not even a single piece of paper was left.

Fei Qi raised her head and looked around, but there was no Narsen's huge boat by the sea, not even Hymila's boat.

"Your people are safe." A voice suddenly appeared in his mind, "They have moved to a new place and are building a new home."

This voice is very strange, it is neither Youdu, nor Cen, nor is it the iron face that he misses the most.

"Who are you?" Fei Qi asked.

"I don't have a name, but you call me Mother Tree." The voice said indifferently.

"What do you want to do?" Fei Qi asked cautiously.

"Let you see everything you want to see." The mother tree's tone remained calm, "You have awakened the power of the mother, and you have the qualifications to drive me."

"Let's add the qualification of being bound by you!" Fei Qi said bluntly.

"Please don't look at me with disgust, descendant, I am only fulfilling my obligations according to the contract." The mother tree continued, "When the mother made the contract, she also left a way to cancel it. Now, the day of cancellation has passed. close at hand."
