Chapter 912 The Sealed Wick

"Years ago, there was an unknown battle in the upper world, and many fragments fell on our South Continent. From the mouths of the elders in the clan, we learned that South Continent at that time was like a hell on earth, and the places where the fragments fell would be... It caused large-scale explosions and flames. You must have seen that the vegetation in Nanzhou was very lush, and Nanzhou had been burned for three months."

Qin Shu pursed her lips, thinking that no wonder all the elves were so afraid of fire. It turned out that there was such a thing.

Qu Nian's voice was still very nice when she wasn't pretentious. Her voice was the only one in the vast jungle.

"Many of our elves were buried in the sea of ​​​​fire. After the efforts of all the elves who survived and heavy rain for half a month, the fire was finally brought under control... Only after the fire was extinguished was the last one discovered. , there is a flame that will never go out no matter how hard it is extinguished.”

Her expression became solemn at this time, "Later, the ancestors of our four major families went to investigate and found the source in the center of the flame... The elders in the family said that it was a wick. If the fire was not extinguished, we The home that we worked so hard to rebuild will one day be swallowed up by it. The seniors tried their best to seal this wick with the sacrifice of the ancestors of our four major families. "

Qin Shu suddenly realized that this story did sound a bit too tragic.

But at the same time, she had to think, is this wick... the same as her wick?

Just as she was thinking about it, Cheng Yan on the side had already asked: "But what does this have to do with you asking us to go with you?"

Qu Nian looked at him and continued: "The descendants of our four major families must always remember their mission. If the seal is loose, we must repair it as soon as possible. If it is only slightly loose, just use a little blood to repair it." Okay, but if the seal is too loose, you have to fill it with your own flesh and blood."

When she said the last sentence, her expression became much firmer, and she was completely different from before.

"You seem to have fire spirit roots on your body. Don't hide it. As I said, my sense of smell is very sensitive. The last time I went to check the seal was the Xiang family. If it comes loose again soon, it will be our Qu family's turn. ”

When Qin Shu heard what she said, her heart felt heavy for no reason.

"How can we help you?" she asked.

When Qu Nian saw her taking the initiative to speak, he also laughed, "Thank you. It's just that when Senior Xiang went to seal it last time, he left the magic weapon there. The temperature there was too high and I couldn't get close... I wonder if you can help me……"

When she said this, she smiled bitterly, "It's funny to say that although our four major families shoulder the important task of guarding the formation, if we elves want to enter the center of the formation, we can only go once in our lifetime."

Unless there is a sacrifice, no one usually goes there.

When she said this, Qin Shu was also stunned, "Then let's talk about it, the one from the Xiang family!"

Qu Nian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That is her fate, and it will also be my fate."

Qin Shu thought of Xiang Ying who prayed for her mother's early return every year on the Spiritual Prayer Festival, and thought of the elf with beautiful blond hair who smiled and told her that my mother would definitely come back!

At this time, there seemed to be something stuck in her throat, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Then no one helped you get it before, so what did you do?" Cheng Yan asked.

Qin Shu glanced at her senior brother in surprise. As expected, he was extremely rational when Lingshi and Chengying were not involved.

"Just go in, enter the center of the formation, pick up the magic weapon and use it." When Qu Nian said this, her eyes suddenly became moist. Although she still had a smile on her face, she looked inexplicably sad.

"I know I shouldn't, but I'm only a hundred years old, and I don't want to die yet... I can sacrifice myself for the seal when necessary, but if I have a magic weapon in my hand, I can preserve myself to the maximum extent before entering the formation. . I have thought for decades that I might not have to die. I want to fight for this fate for myself..."

Qin Shu pursed her lips, and Cheng Yan on the side stopped talking.

Qu Nian raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and continued: "Many, many years ago, our four major families also cooperated with your human race. If there are seniors who are sacrificed in the formation and cannot get out, they will help us If they take out the magic weapon, we will give them a certain reward."

Qin Shu nodded slightly, this cooperation sounded good, why didn't it continue?

"However, after working together for many years, a Fire Spirit Root monk discovered that practicing inside could improve his cultivation. The practice itself was nothing, but he should never have evil thoughts. He felt that if the seal was loosened, , the fire spirit will be more intense, which will be more beneficial to his cultivation."

Qin Shu thought of some possibility and looked ugly.

Cheng Yan, who was standing next to her, even cursed, "Idiot."

The result was without any surprises. The human race's fire spirit root monk broke a corner of the seal, and the seal that countless elves guarded with their lives was just broken.

The fire spirit inside overflowed, burning the smart fool to death, and under the high temperature, the cracks in the seal became bigger and bigger.

By the time the elves noticed the abnormality and rushed to seal it, a quarter of the seal had already cracked.

This time, almost all the named seniors from the four major families went away, and no one came back alive.

It was also because of this man-made disaster that the strength of the four major families collectively declined, and they soon disappeared into the dust.

This time, the entire elves and humans were completely at odds with each other, and the elves no longer welcomed the humans!

Qin Shu had never thought that it was because of this before, but today, she heard Qu Nian talking about it by chance, and then she knew the secret behind this.

If what she said was true, the human race really deserved it. They took money from others and stabbed them in the back.

Qin Shu thought about it, and with her physique, she absorbed the fire of the earth's core and the ice of the setting sun. The general heat had no effect on her at all.

It should be no problem to just go and get the magic weapon.

She was about to agree, and heard Qu Nian say again: "I know you don't believe me. I can give you 300,000 top-grade spirit stones first, and then I will make up for the rest after I get the magic weapon back. How about it?"

Qin Shu was stunned, and when she came to her senses, she met her senior brother's shining eyes.

She sighed helplessly again, "Well, we'll go with you on this trip."

When she said this, Qu Nian and Cheng Yan both breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles reappeared on their faces.
