The mountain ghost blows out the lights

She said before that the Jinghuo is not complete now, and that the Jinghuo should have been pure blue. It is not surprising that Shen Lianxing and Yan Jinping guessed a little bit about it.

"The seal of Longin Mountain is so powerful and firm." Venado stomped her feet on the ice and sighed, "The number of monsters sealed here is unimaginable to anyone. Fire can play a defensive role, but the immortal is confident that it is only aimed at one or two monsters that escaped by chance. Now that the entire mountain has cracked such a gap out of thin air, it means that the seal has almost completely lost its due power. effect."

"Just relying on... relying on such a ray of flame, even if it is a treasure that is hard to find in the world, how long can it last under such circumstances?"

Although the people of Everspring Valley are strong and know a lot, they are just a group of mortals with a little bit of wisdom after all.Faced with such a near-extinction disaster, what can they do?

In fact, there are still ways.

And obviously, they succeeded in the end.

"Guess, Mr. Yan, Mr. Shen." Venado heard the voice in her head getting louder and louder, and the tiny vines finally pierced through the hard seed coat after a hundred years , and then happily wrapped her soft soul with roots, she asked the two of them softly, "Guess what we did?"

Verdant and soft vines crawled out of the gaps in her eye sockets and skull, bared her teeth and claws for a while without any deterrent, rubbing off the color painted on Venado's face.

Yan Jinping sighed lightly.

"You sacrificed yourselves," he said.

……

Sacrifice sounds like a very sacred word.

Actually not.

At least not for the people of Everspring Valley.

"Even if there is a big reason, who would like to burn their own life like this?" Venado said slowly.

The vines in her body were still growing, and the speed wasn't very fast, but they had already drilled out of her body, wrapped around every inch of bone they could touch, entangled her body in a mess and kept making noises.

Venado didn't care at all.As if she couldn't feel the changes that were taking place, she took another two steps towards the gap and continued: "But there is no way, Jinghuo has stayed in the snow mountain for too long, it is constantly flowing every moment. Absorbing the chill in the snow-capped mountains, so there is no shortage of yin energy, but only a handful of fuel."

A handful of fuel will last until the day the seal is reinforced.

The people in Everspring Valley have been instructed by the immortals. It is the purest thing in this snow mountain. It is perfect to use their souls as fuel.

The net fire roasted their souls, and exactly 100 years have passed since the first Uxano crawled out of the deep gap.

The girl's crisp and pleasant voice echoed in the cave, accompanied by the clattering of joints and the sound of vines growing.

During the 83 years in Xueshan, Venado kept recalling these past events every night.Even if she had great heroic emotions, she had already been consumed by the long wait, leaving her with only a slightly emotional calm.

Now, she just doesn't want to forget the faces of those 53 people.

She spoke lightly, but what she said... the truth from a hundred years ago made Shen Lianxing and Yan Jinping silent for a long time.

They have also speculated about what happened in this vast snow-capped mountain, and sacrifice is of course the first option that comes to mind.In fact, ever since Venado said the name 'He Rong', Yan Jinping knew that he must be one of the victims.

But no matter how rich and cruel the imagination is, it is shocking to hear Venado's personal narration.

"There are not many people in our tribe, and there are only 53 boys and men who are of the right age and can be used." Venado said plainly.

"Just barely enough."

In fact, 53 is not a very big number.

All kinds of suffering and disasters in the world: famine, plague, war... No matter what it is, if it befalls any city, more people will die than 53.

But being forced to die and welcoming it with open arms are two very different things.

The difference is that the latter still has options.

However, this is not kindness to the latter, but a blunt knife, a slow torture that will last until the moment you make a choice.

"100 years ago, they were all real people. They had family members, lovers, friends, unforgettable memories and land." Bone said softly, "They are all strong men, that's right. But They are also afraid of death, they will also suffer from pain, they will also experience birth, old age, illness and death, and they will also experience joy, anger, sorrow and joy.”

"What can it do if it hurts?" Venado reached out and fiddled with the vines on her body twice. She wanted to look up at the sun, but then remembered where she was, so she didn't look up in the end, but said, "They only have two choices." , or burn yourself, so that at least women, old people and children can be saved, or run away——when the seal is completely broken, the monster beasts under Mount Langin will come out and kill everyone."

It is obvious which path to choose.

The warriors completed their task very well and kept the seal intact until 17 years later, when Vinado found a way to strengthen it and returned to the snow mountain.

Yan Jinping said softly: "So the people in Changqing City..."

Venado once said that Everspring Valley is the predecessor of Evergreen City.

"They are all our former relatives." Venado's body has been covered with new vines, and they hesitated when they first came into contact with the cold air outside, but now they seem to have gotten used to this growth speed, The movement of spreading became faster and faster, and Venado also sped up her speech accordingly.

"To provide sufficient yang energy, only healthy men are needed." Venado said, "Although we sent other people down the mountain, they actually don't know what the warriors are going to do."

The girls in the Evergreen Tribe were not weak and would never rely on men for a living, so even if they were the only ones to bring other old, weak, sick and disabled people down the mountain, the people left behind would not be worried.

But the men who decided to stay knew that the girls would never allow themselves to stand by and watch their fellow men sacrifice themselves and burn their souls.

They will definitely insist on staying on the snow-capped mountains full of man-eating spiders, which are no longer safe, holding on to the little hope that they know cannot be realized until the moment of death.

"If that's the case, wouldn't our efforts be meaningless?"

"Compared to living and dying together, we hope that the people we love can live well and without haze."

"So we erased their memories," she said. "Fortunately, this step was very successful. They went down the mountain and lived their lives well. They may not be rich, but at least they are happy and happy."

That's why the current Evergreen City came into existence.

Erasing memories and constructing new ones is not an easy task, at least it is almost impossible for mortals.However, Venado didn't say much on this topic, maybe because she thinks this trivial matter is irrelevant, or maybe because her time is really running out.

The unknown plant clinging to her body is rapidly absorbing and consuming her vitality. She can clearly feel the tentacles taking root in her soul. They look quite strange, but they are not what a bad thing.

They just...smelled the breath of the seal, so they were eager to grow.

Shen Lianxing finally moved.He calmly patted the back of Yan Jinping's hand hanging by his side, in exchange for Boss Yan's inexplicable glance, then corrected his expression and asked, "What about He Rong?"

Venado was obviously very sad, or it might be that the crazy growing vines absorbed too much of her strength, making her a little distracted, and gradually began to lose focus, and would fall into memories at every turn.

Now that the two of them have decided to remember this story for her, listening to the whole story in its entirety is also a kind of respect for Venaduo and those Everspring Valley people who were brave enough to die a hundred years ago.

"Heron..."

Upon hearing the name, Venado was visibly taken aback.

She subconsciously looked back at Jinghuo again, but of course Jinghuo would not give her any response, as it had been burning quietly and indifferently for the past 83 years.

Her narration has always been methodical. The too long time is like a tepid firewood, burning the past stories into a pile of ashes. Even though it is so painful, she can face it calmly and even tell Listened to others.

Only He Rong was the only bit of residual warmth in the depths of the ashes. When she reached in to fumble, her fingertips were scalded.

Venado opened her mouth with difficulty, and then found that the vines had almost completely filled her entire skull, as if she had grown too messy green hair, which also hindered her from opening her mouth.

Left and right she has a bone frame and no vocal cords. In fact, she doesn't have to open her mouth to speak, so she simply stopped trying, pretending that nothing happened, and continued: "He Rong is the youngest son of the tribal leader at that time."

"It is also the first soul to be burned by the net fire, and it is the foundation for making fuel."

"He...he is actually not the best candidate. He has just turned [-], and he doesn't like to go to class very much. He doesn't understand a lot of preparations that should be done. He has to be the foundation. There are many people in the tribe who are more suitable than He Rong. Until he comes first."

"But He Rong was the first person who discovered the abnormality of the seal and rushed into this cave."

A hundred years ago, no one expected this earthquake to happen. Only the youngest son of the leader didn't like to study, so he ran to sleep on the tree at the entrance of the cave while everyone was in class.

And so... when the first spider stretched its slender legs out of the hole, he was the first to quickly understand what was going on.

The net fire flame is weak and difficult to sustain for a long time.The seal was about to be broken by the swarming monsters, he had no choice but to rush into the cave alone because it was too late.

After all, they are still from Everspring Valley. They grew up listening to the stories of Langyin Mountain and Jinghuo. They have this knowledge in their blood. He Rong still understands how to temporarily stabilize the situation.

Although a person's strength is so small, he still persisted until his clansmen realized that something was wrong and rushed into the cave.

"Because Heron was the first one, so we set up a formation centered on his soul." Venado had already dragged her vines to the crack, and she patted the leader of Uzano twice with one hand. The protruding leg seemed to be a little tired, leaning on it obliquely. "At that time, his spirit was still normal, but when I came back after 17 years...he didn't recognize me anymore."

The center of the formation has to take on the task of supporting all the fuel, and Heron must always remain conscious.In theory, he shouldn't be able to sleep, rest, or even close his eyes.

This means that for the past 100 years, he may have heard the cries of pain from his fellow citizens day and night.

It's not crazy.

As for why he was able to maintain the burning speed of the fuel stably after that, and did not completely lose control, this Venado didn't know.

All she knew was that the carefree young man had died, and all that was left was this silent flame.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed, the beauty turned into bones, and the young man is beyond recognition.

They are all in this icy land that has swallowed the flesh and blood of their compatriots, and cannot rest in peace.
