Chapter 21: Light of life

Oil, spirits, wood, all these flammable things together, plus a spark. There was only one result: an unstoppable fire!
The flame quickly followed the tree man's legs and spread to his body and hands. The glowing eyes were also wrapped in smoke and fire.
The tree man waved his arms, trying to extinguish the fire on his body, but this was just in vain. It is now a huge torch, billowing thick smoke. Its skin turned to burnt black during the burning, and crackled and crackled continuously. The vines that turned from hair also withered quickly and then broke. Burning made the wood lose moisture, its movement became stiff and slow, it stumbled and collapsed two walls, finally fell down on its knees, overwhelmed a house, the flames on the body also lit the house.
Xiao Chen heard a tragedy in his heart, and then that kind of spiritual connection came to an abrupt end. He saw that the tree man was struggling in the fire, and his heart suddenly became very heavy. Perhaps it was the reason in the morning. In his eyes, this tree man was no different from human beings. Those who spoke to him were burned alive. He shouted: "Roger, take the arsonist and hit the road. I want to extinguish the tree!"
Roger nodded and rushed over with the person behind him. These people are warriors selected from four or five thousand people, far more elite than Ralph's men. The slaves who had been besieging the Shuren saw a large number of people with swords and guns rushing towards them, and gathered around Ralph. Holding a weapon to confront Xiao Chen's people.
"Roger? You haven't gone yet? What are you trying to do with these people?" Ralph was a little surprised, and the current scene was a bit beyond his imagination.
"Ralph, the entire camp is controlled by Master Xiao. Surrender." Roger's voice was harsh and his expression was solemn.
"Surrender? Are you crazy, Roger? It's not enough for you to be a dog for a magician, and you are still threatening me? Tell you, I am free now, and no one can control me!" Ralph was angry. He waved the sword in his hand as if he was greatly insulted, "I still want you to get my elf! I saw the big tree stump passing the elf towards you. Is it all? Was it robbed by you? "
When Roger saw that the burning tree had fallen into the ruins of the house, he didn't move much, his heart was anxious, and his tone was not good: "This is your last chance. If you stop here again, we will be welcome." "
Ralph saw Xiao Chen also came in, and the most beautiful female elf was beside him, his heart ruffled. Even if the opponent is a magician, Ralph can't tolerate this kind of behavior. He spent a lot of money and died. Many talents killed the tree. How can people be so picked?
What's more, this strange-looking magician has never shown any magical ability, maybe just a magic apprentice in a pose.
He crossed his heart and pointed at Xiao Chen with his sword: "Magic! I don't care what ghost idea you are playing, the elves are mine. If you don't want to fight me to die, you'd better give the elves to me , Let me go! Otherwise ... "
"You can't go!" Xiao Chen had understood what happened here from Elena's mouth, he was not going to give Ralph any chance.
At this time he was holding a scroll from the magician's old house. Morey once identified that this is a scroll of high-level magic "ice storm". According to his statement, if this scroll is released correctly, it will have the power to destroy a small town. It's a pity that neither Xiao Chen nor Morey have enough ability to release such a high-level scroll.
But Xiao Chen had a set of rough methods to deal with the scrolls, so he took a few scrolls with him.
Xiao Chen had started the scroll before he came over. He felt the power of ice and snow and the power of the wind in the seal, and then injected his spiritual power into it without regard, and the wild power began to tear the forbidden in the scroll, destroying the path of the magic text, but simply Released this energy. At the same time, his spiritual power also spurred the power of the surrounding elements, and a stronger magic power than the scroll itself was attached to the scroll from the outside world.
This consumes a lot more mental power than the normal use of the scroll, and it can't guarantee the form of magic at all, and the power will also be weakened a lot. But there is also a great advantage, that is, there is no need for any spells and no gestures. Along the way, it naturally didn't attract Ralph's attention.
Xiao Chen couldn't control so much at this time. He was like a child desperately trying to put sugar in his mouth. He didn't care about the tolerance of his mouth.
When he walked over to Roger, facing Ralph and his men, the scroll had turned into a light blue highlight in his hands. Then he lifted his palms, and countless frost was caught in the cold wind, and sprayed along his fingers, forming a cone of ice mist.
Why doesn't he have to cast a mantra? Without any gestures? Ralph was planning to use Xiao Chen's speed to take him hostage while Xiao Chen was not prepared, but suddenly Xiao Chen's magic came.
Ralph was shrouded in ice mist for a moment. He was talking, his mouth still open, and ice mist rushed into his throat. He hurriedly covered his face with his hands and rolled sideways, avoiding the front of the ice fog. However, at this time he found that his arms, cheeks, mouth and throat had lost their sensations. What's worse is that the long sword and the palm of your hand are stuck together and can't break away.
What is this ice and snow, and how can it have such a terrifying power?
Before he could understand the problem, the relentless ice mist wrapped all the people behind him, and then dashed straight to the burning tree in the house.
The wind drove away the smoke, and the ice mist engulfed the flame.
In a blink of an eye, as the scrolls in Xiao Chen's hands were exhausted, the ice mist slowly dissipated. I saw that all the fire on the tree had been extinguished, and half an inch of frost was left on the black bark. Between Shuren and Xiao Chen, dozens of slaves were wrapped in ice crystals, standing like ice sculptures on the open ground.
Ralph screamed "ho-ho", staggering up and staggering around, turning around. If you look closely, you will find that his eyes are covered with a white layer, which has long been frozen by Xiao Chen's magic and blinded.
auzw.com He accidentally bumped into a frozen slave, who fell straight down and knocked down the people on the side. As a result, the ice fell to the ground like a domino. The ice crystals broke, making a harsh click, and hitting the ground, making a deep collision sound. Ralph verbosely explored the people around him. After touching a few icemen, he seemed to understand something. The faster he touched the hand, the more urgent the movement. At last he stood up, staring at the godless eyes, turning around, as if looking for something.
"Are you looking for me?" Xiao Chen said coldly.
As soon as Ralph heard Xiao Chen's voice, he shouted unwillingly, rushing toward him with his sword.
The blue blazing light burst out of Ralph's body again, but the frozen muscles in his hand could no longer withstand this force. He charged, but his hand kept cracking during the running, and when he was about to rush to Xiao Chen Because of the loss of palms and forearms, his sword had fallen to the ground, but he didn't feel it, and he seemed crazy.
Roger made a sword silently and stuck it in his chest. Ralph vomited blood in his mouth, stretched his broken arm and wanted to go forward. However, it is impossible to cross this distance of several meters.
Light flashed through Roger's sword, and Ralph's chest exploded into a big hole. He raised his head to the sky, then fell down weakly.
This warrior who could fight Roger, died like this.
"Collect the slaves who haven't died yet." Xiao Chen stared at Ralph on the ground for a while, then commanded. The slaves around, no matter where they belonged, were quietly silent. For many people, this is the first time they have seen the horror of magical power in their lifetime.
—
"The fire is out. Is she still there?" Xiao Chen walked to the tree man, and Elena and four other elves stood quietly beside the tree man's head.
Elena shook her head and shed a teardrop.
"She is gone. Even without this fire, she will eventually leave us ..." Elena stared at the tree man's face, where it was almost burned.
"Because of the guardian seed you said before?"
"Yes. The price of the guardian seed is the spirit of the elf. If she survives, she will never be able to change back to her original state, and will only become a real tree. And her soul will slowly become silent, Every tree is like that. At the moment of using it, she was ready to sacrifice herself completely. "Elena lifted the frost on the bark with her hand and pressed her palm against the bark.
The other elves knew what she was about to do, and put their hands on the tree.
Elena gently sang an elf elegy, the tune was strange and light. Other elves also sang along. Elena's hands began to gleam a little bit of light, like a firefly, and slowly flew to the tree. The light spot was neither hot nor dazzling, but the snow on the tree began to melt. The darkened bark also began to fall.
They sang, and a small bud broke the bark from her hand and showed his head. It swayed like a cheerful child, and then grew taller, and in a moment Kung Fu grew into a small tree that was half a meter high.
This is the power of life.
Elena gently kissed the branches of the small tree, then took two leaves from the top and put them into two straw bags.
She handed a small bag to another elf and said, "Ya Wen, this is the proof of Sariel's" new life ". Please bring it back to the kingdom and put it under the world tree."
"Sir Elena. Shouldn't you bring it yourself?"
Elena shook her head, "I can't go back temporarily, so, take me back."
The other elves are unknown, but the priest Yulu is noble, they dare not ask more, and nodded.
"Thank you for your help, and get revenge for Sariel." Elena handed another bag to Xiao Chen. "You can enter this fairy kingdom with this leaf. I think the elders of the kingdom should also Express their gratitude. "
Xiao Chen took the leaves and put them away carefully. "Actually, the most important thing is what she did. She finally let you all survive."
"Yeah. Did you know? We don't even know her." Elena lowered her head, her eyes seeming to drift out of the world. "Just now, she killed me ... somehow ... … A human being. I can see that she does n’t like me or even despise me. But then she saved me with her life without any hesitation ... it made me, let me ... " Two lines of tears expressed the meaning behind for her.
"Maybe she just found that there was no escape route." Xiao Chen thought of what she had said to Luo Ling at this time, "Someone will choose to move forward when there is nowhere to go back. In the eyes of others, this may be from mortal To the hero. "
