I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

"Ugh——"

There was another howl like ghosts and wolves from the forest below. It is not known whether he understood Lixiang's words or was just afraid of the primordial fire in front of him, but no matter what, he still did not attack again in the end.

"Maybe you can kill me, but my arrows can burn you completely, but you don't want to go this far, do you?"

Li Xiang didn't let go of the arrow and bowstring in his hand, he looked very calm, he felt that after such a consumption, even the rumored bloodthirsty demon tree in front of him could negotiate first.

But even though he was holding the arrow tightly in his hand, he didn't really want to do what he said.

——If possible, he would certainly like to be able to kill less, and it would be best to avoid hunting if possible.

"boom----"

Suddenly, the pitch-black ground below Lixiang began to vibrate slightly, and a huge hole appeared in the middle of the demon tree forest, and a pitch-black figure slowly rose from the ground.

——It looks like a huge tree stump, but the corners of the tree stump with a diameter of tens of meters are full of vines and roots connecting the surrounding demon trees. These vines spread out from the base of the huge tree stump, and drilled into The soil connects the surrounding demon trees.

'—even together? '

Li Xiang's face remained unchanged, which reminded him of another kind of tree, a magical tree species that was said to be able to form a forest by itself.

And on that pitch-black tree stump, the foundation on which the dark wood naturally grows, is a woman who seems to have only the upper body.

She is more beautiful than the daughters of many kings in the world, with snow-white skin and long green hair, but those blood-red eyes bring a great sense of disobedience, because even if she was born in blood, she is also a child of nature , because even being a child of nature is also stained with blood.

"........."

Lixiang slowly frowned. For some reason, when he saw the forest of demon trees split open, revealing the tree stump and the woman in it, the image of falling under his arrow appeared uncontrollably in his mind. under the huge figure.

"You...are the master here?"

Li Xiang didn't care so much, trying to negotiate with that person.

The woman's blood-red pupils stared straight at Li Xiang, which gave him a chill down his spine.

'Yes. '

A very cold voice echoed directly in Lixiang's mind.

"You..." Lixiang paused, seeing that the other party could negotiate, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly explained his intentions.

"My companion and I came here just to hurry up... There is no other meaning, can you open a small road for us and let us go quickly?"

"........."

The woman with blood-red eyes stared at Lixiang, as if weighing the pros and cons.

'Can. '

Lixiang's cold voice sounded again in Lixiang's mind, and then, a long and thin crack opened in the entire forest of demon trees, all the demon trees moved a little, and a small road appeared in an instant In front of Lixiang.

Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, the negotiation was finally successful.

…………

…………

Chapter 46: At this moment I hold hope in my hands!

"Great……"

Looking at the road that had already appeared on the ground, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, the negotiation had been successful, so at least there was no need to keep fighting.

"that……"

Li Xiang immediately turned to look at the woman who "grew" from the huge tree stump in front of her.

'According to your speed, it will take half a day to go east from here. '

The woman glanced at Li Xiang in mid-air, her blood-red pupils always made people feel creepy.

He no longer intends to take the opportunity to attack them halfway. This is not because he has any moral sentiments defined by human beings, but simply because he is afraid of Lixiang's original fire and trouble.

I am not sure that I can kill this human being who ignited the raging fire with one blow. If the attack fails, I and the land will inevitably be destroyed, and even my life will be threatened.

He doesn't feed on humans, so there's no need to fight to the death with a prickly hedgehog.

Immediately, Lixiang was about to contact Mash and the others and leave here immediately, but at the same time as he turned around, Atalanta's words suddenly echoed in his mind, and a strange and unrealistic idea suddenly came to his mind .

He turned around and looked at the woman who only showed her upper body.

"That... no... I know, I didn't mean that, I mean... can you keep this road going?"

Li Xiang hesitated for a while, he really didn't know how to describe this kind of thing for a while, but in the end he bit the bullet and made such a request to the existence in front of him.

'...? '

The woman with a pair of blood pupils tilted her head, she was not angry, because he had never encountered such a situation, and it was even the first time for him to talk to a human being, Lixiang's request also aroused the same novelty His curiosity and attention.

"Uh, I don't mean anything else. After all, because this is your territory, people are afraid to go this way. It's not easy to travel long distances. If... If you can maintain a passage here, you can help humans Very busy!"

Li Xiang was not afraid, and the flame on his body was slowly extinguished. He looked at the life in front of him and looked up at him, and said very seriously.

'...'

He looked at the boy and remained silent.

"Uh...Of course, if it doesn't work then forget it..."

Seeing that the person did not answer for a long time, Li Xiang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and at the same time wondered if he had taken it for granted when he suddenly said such a thing.

He scratched his head in distress, looked at the person in front of him and paused for a few seconds, thinking that if it really didn't work, he could just give up, after all, this was just his own whim, and he wanted to help others as much as possible, but now It looked like he couldn't do anything about it.

'...what can you do for me? '

Suddenly, that cold voice echoed in his mind again.

"Eh?" Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked at the "person", paused: "What do you want? I can find it for you... Do you like meat? If you like meat, I will come Argolis can find a way to send you a sacrifice after finishing the work."

But it was the man's slightly shaking head that answered Lixiang.

'No, I don't need meat, meat just rots. '

His words surprised Lixiang: "You don't eat meat?! Don't you live by eating meat?"

'The nutrients in the leylines are enough for my growth and survival. '

"Then... what about those people? Didn't you give all those who strayed into the forest of the demon tree..."

Li Xiang opened his mouth wide and said subconsciously, but suddenly noticed that his words were a bit too ugly when he was speaking halfway.

'They felled me, wanting my branches and my flesh. '

But the naturally grown creatures don't care about the taboos between human beings. His blood-red pupils stared straight at Lixiang. The boy's words made him so interested, and his voice continued to be in Lixiang's mind. reverberate.

"So you just..."

Li Xiang suddenly seemed to understand where the forest of demon trees got such a bad reputation.

He couldn't help but think back to the village where the Arcadia plague spread. All the sacred trees that used to grow there were cut down, and even the last sacred tree died under his own arrows...

The demon tree seems to be in the same situation as the divine tree, but his reaction is undoubtedly strong and extreme. He killed the fellers, and then no one dared to provoke him again.

Did different responses lead to different outcomes...?

Lixiang closed her eyes, which was somewhat ironic.

"Forget it, let's get back to the topic, what exactly do you want?"

Li Xiang didn't feel that he could guess the other party's mind, so he couldn't help asking, and after hearing his explanation, he became less wary of him.

'do not know. '

"Uh……"

Li Xiang's face became a little ugly, it was as uncomfortable as when a friend asked you to bring him something to eat, and you asked him what to eat and he said it was casual.

"That is to say that one probably wants something... Now I don't have anything on me..."

Lixiang was a little distressed, he really didn't bring anything with him now, his luggage was in Matthew, and now he only had the silver coins that he had used before.

But this is money, and it’s just a little bit, and it’s too cheap to give the money directly to others.

He sighed, glanced at the man's blood-red eyes mechanically, and a thought came to his mind.

He can't just conjure something like this, can he?

Wait... change out? ...he seems to be ok...

"You...you wait for me a little bit."

Li Xiang said quickly, and then tried to recall how he replaced the chocolate with magic power. His hands were wrapped together, and he was rubbing something gently.

But definitely not making chocolate.

Li Xiang closed her eyes, then frowned again, as if she was lost in thought, and the ideas in her mind suddenly stagnated.

Not chocolate...not chocolate...not chocolate

In order to remind himself, Lixiang condensed a beautiful regular triangle with ice runes in his hand, but he felt that the pure blue or transparent color was too monotonous, so he tried to inject magic power into the crystal , making it bloom in different colors.

red?It's too conspicuous.

White?It's too monotonous.

blue?it's too cold.

Purple?It's too flamboyant.

Then... this?Li Xiang took away the yellow crystal in front of her eyes.

— Forget it, let him mix in whatever color he wants, and try the effect first, shall we?

Fortunately, Lixiang closed his eyes and poured all the colors he had tried into the crystal in his hand.

In the end, a colorful regular triangular crystal that was endowed with special meaning in the boy's memory appeared in his hand.

"........."

Li Xiang took a breath of the fresh carbon dioxide he had just exhaled.

"Ah this..."

No matter how blurred his past memories are, it is impossible for him to forget the shape of this wonderful crystal... Or, although he may forget it, once he sees it, the past memories will be blown out of his mind like a frying pan. The deepest part is released.

"........."

Li Xiang was silent, and then immediately made six regular triangular crystals of the same color according to the method just now.

The life born in nature can't help but be full of curiosity about Lixiang's current actions. At the same time, when Lixiang flipped his fingertips, he also caught the appearance of the colorful triangle crystal in his hand, and couldn't help but become more curious.

Not long after, seven colored and triangular crystals were produced by Lixiang and held in his hands.

Li Xiang's hand trembled slightly, for some reason, he suddenly had a magical and indescribable sense of holiness and solemnity.

Then Lixiang gave the child who didn't know the meaning of it a whole lot of work.

He spliced ​​the seven crystals together one by one, and then a ray of light flashed, and an octagonal colored crystal that looked similar to a hexagram from the front appeared in his hand.

Ok?Ask why seven-horned crystals can be spliced ​​to form octagonal crystals?

why?I'm also looking for the reason

Holding the incomparably magnificent colored crystal, Lixiang suddenly had a feeling of holding hope in his hand.

If it weren't for someone in front of him, he really couldn't help but want to shout: At this moment, I hold hope in my hand!

Ah, no, no, no, this is too high school, if you shout it, you will definitely die socially...

But anyway, I have a good thing. Although it is not of any special value, it has a very special meaning to Lixiang. It can be said that although this small stone is just something I rubbed out by myself, there is no doubt that What's more, this is his proudest possession.

"This is for you."

Even so, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous when handing this mundane creation out.

He was not unprepared even to be slapped away with disgust by the other party. After all, this was just something he made by taking advantage of the trend, without any magic power or value.

But that person looked at the colorful crystal curiously, and then couldn't help stretching out a hand, and took the gorgeous but still full of flaws from Li Xiang's hand.

"Like it?"

Lixiang felt a little uneasy, and at the same time couldn't help feeling a little nervous when he asked the question.

'I've never seen a presence, and I feel vulnerable. '
