45.The problem of death

"Teacher Fisher, that tree!"

Fisher pulled the fluid sword and rushed out of the room quickly, but before he could stop completely, Karasawa Asuka, who was swept by the strong wind and narrowed his eyes, quickly noticed that the huge tree behind Chunbo Palace seemed to be

The violent earthquake shook the city. In the vast moonlight, huge trees hundreds of meters high fell down towards the city. Asuka Karasawa was so frightened that she quickly reminded Fisher like this.

"What's going on? Why is there an earthquake?!"

Just as Fisher stood in the courtyard looking at the giant tree above that was about to topple, Gelsemium also got dressed and ran out quickly. He first glanced at the trees above, and then looked at the tree in Fisher's house with a strange look.

Karasawa Asuka in Sher's arms then asked,

"You two...were you sleeping together just now?"

"No! No! It's just that Mr. Fisher came to my room because he had something to do!"

Asuka Karasawa shouted with a red face, struggling to jump out of Fisher's arms, but such a pale explanation did not convince Gelsemium at all. He glanced at Fisher's body, as if he saw something.

, Didi murmured,

"The kidney water is floating, the essence is irritable and strong, the heart is beating first and the kidney door is fire... The energy in his essence is like gunpowder. It has been hiding the essence for a while, but now it has the tendency to explode every minute.

Do you still dare to stay with him without fear of being eaten dry...Young man is so courageous."

"?"

Asuka Karasawa didn't hear clearly what Gelsemium said. The ground here was shaking in great chaos. She glanced at Gelsemium in confusion, but she only saw him pouting towards her, as if to remind her to pay attention to something.

.

But the current situation is critical, and the issue of Fisher's reproduction is not to be considered. Mikhail from another room also walked out with a cold face and asked them,

"what happened?"

"I don't know, it seems like there was an earthquake suddenly... It's weird, Tree Continent is full of mythical species and they can still have earthquakes. Is there something wrong?"

Fisher looked at the giant tree with more and more cracks on its body and reminded him,

"That tree is about to fall. Once it falls, the entire capital city will be leveled."

"Ah, there's no need to worry about that. After all, there are three mythical creatures here. Even if we take out that bastard in Heller, Uncle Chun and Hou Hou will take care of it. We only need to take care of the lower-level people around us now.

Well, Xiong is too old, and his adopted daughters are only stronger than humans... Ouch!"

As Gelsemium spoke, the back of his head was suddenly hit by a warm morning light, but his fourteenth-level body did not react at all.

He hissed and looked back, only to see Heller sitting on the beams that were still shaking due to the earthquake, chewing a round fruit.

"What a bastard, the scolding is really unpleasant... This is called letting you give full play to your subjective initiative. It is your blessing to have me as an angel to lead you, okay?"

"Where did you get your fruit?"

"I picked it up on the roadside, it tastes really bad."

Heller turned her head and spit out the fruit core, as if a fire dragon was spitting out fire. The warm morning light spit out from her lips, and burned the fruit core completely, as if it was burning.

Verify what she said about being unpalatable.

She clapped her hands and continued,

"But Gelsemium is right, Chun and Hiiragi will deal with the big tree. This earthquake is not simple. The tree continent is just a piece of floating soil growing on the roots of the world tree. Everything here is her feedback. The earthquake

It's the same... Like other elves, the Elf King will be reincarnated through a tree after death, but the tree he borrowed for reincarnation is his mother, which is the World Tree."

Fisher quickly understood where the pass was, and he followed Heller's instructions and said,

"In other words, the Elf King is very likely to die?"

"Who knows, the Elf King is a nineteenth-level existence, the first elf born, and the elf closest to the World Tree among all the elves. Although he is about to live, he is very sensitive to death. He will not be able to live for a while.

It’s still very possible.”

While they were talking, countless dense purple spots suddenly appeared on the giant tree above that was about to droop. This made Asuka Karasawa, an ordinary human even if she was not trypophobic, feel a little physically uncomfortable. But soon, from there,

Purple flowers suddenly popped out from the purple spots.

Chun Bo finally took action.

I saw that the flower bones growing from the giant tree all had four leaves. After blooming, they did not stay on the giant tree for a moment, but quickly broke away from the rough bark and fell downwards, like a handle in mid-air.

The tiny parachute spins and falls lightly, as beautiful and dreamy as the rain of flowers.

Purple spots appeared one after another on the drooping trees, until the trees hundreds of meters high and dozens of meters wide were completely transformed into the flowers they had seen before, floating lightly towards the capital.

"..."

It was the first time Fisher saw the methods of the elves, but just like Chun Bo's gentle character, even when he took action, he was as gentle and gentle as a gentle breeze, romantic and elegant.

"So beautiful... By the way, that Angel of Hell, I have always heard you talking about being 'overtaken by death'. Is there a problem with the translation?" Asuka Karasawa stared blankly at the rain of flowers in the sky and couldn't help but say

She sighed in admiration, but suddenly she thought of something again and asked Heller.

"No, little cutie..."

Heller jumped down from the rafter and explained to Asuka Karasawa how this world dealt with the death of high-level species. When he heard the mechanism that was as rigid as a program, Karasawa was stunned for a long time before he understood it.

Come over; Heller also explained to Fisher the liquidation process for the natural death of immortal species.

When the lifespan of an immortal species is about to run out, death will slowly lock it in, and it will not enter the same liquidation process as Fisher until its lifespan is completely exhausted; the higher the rank, the more you can experience this pursuit.

Because of this, they will try their best to slow down the passage of life and make death come later.

"Oh, why is there an earthquake?!"

While several people were talking in the courtyard, people from Shangqing's mansion also ran out one after another. Xiong didn't have anyone to serve him. He seemed to be resting alone. Hearing the noise outside, he ran out quickly and looked at the people in the courtyard.

So said.

At this glance, Fisher shrank slightly. Not only him, but also Mikhail and Gelsemium took a cautious step back, not to mention Asuka Karasawa, who was already timid.

"Xiong...what's wrong with you?"

"Me? How can I..."

Looking at the stunned state of the guests in front of him, Xiong himself didn't seem to realize what was happening, until he looked down, only to see that his hands were completely devoid of flesh and blood, leaving only osteoporotic bones, but he

His face was still covered with flesh, and it looked like a skeleton with only a face.

"Ah! How...am I dead?"

"Father, are you okay...ahhhh!

"

Xiong's adopted daughter from other rooms also ran out, and when they saw Xiong's appearance of the stick figure at this moment, they were all shocked and froze in place.

Heller held his belly and laughed inappropriately, but the expressions of Gelsemium and Fisher became more and more serious. Fisher felt the strong aura of death on each other's body, while Gelsemium looked at it from the perspective of a doctor.

of,

"There is no breath of life in your body. Your original health is not good. Although death has noticed you, it should not be a problem to live for a few more years, but now..."

Gelsemium suddenly stretched out her hand, and as a flashing fluorescent silk thread gently entangled the other person's arm with only a skeleton, the expression on her face became more and more weird, and she said to him,

"You are from the Tree Continent, let me tell you in words you can understand... There are three basic ways that elves look at living things, namely essence, qi, and spirit. These three are also called the [Three Treasures]. Essence is qi.

Mother, transformation depends on Qi, which is the basis for your soul to be attached to the body. But now, your essence is empty, and you should have died directly, but now God still exists beyond common sense. It is really miraculous.

..."

Fisher, who is quite familiar with the theory of the soul, seems to have roughly understood the medical theory of the elves. The soul and the body are dependent on each other and independent of each other. However, in any case, the body is the carrier of the soul. Now Xiong's body has

After death, the soul has not yet been taken away by death and returned to the spirit world, changing into this weird appearance now.

"How could this happen...Is it just me, or...wait a minute, I'm going to confirm whether anyone else in the capital has been affected by the disaster."

Xiong is from Shu Continent, so of course he understands the meaning of Gelsemium. Before he could calm down, there was a lot of noise coming from Chun Kingdom in the night outside after the aftermath of the earthquake. He couldn't care less about his current state.

, as the high minister of Chun Kingdom, he quickly dragged his body and ran outside.

He had just broken through the gate of Shangqing Mansion, but he saw that the outside of Chun Kingdom was in a mess during the earthquake. Many people who had lost their lives in the earthquake crawled out of the ruins dragging their skeletons and looked around blankly.

, it seems that he hasn’t realized what happened, and he still doesn’t know that he is dead...

The scene in front of him was so bizarre that even Xiong, who had come into contact with mythical species like elves, was at a loss for a moment.

"What's going on? I'm going to see Uncle Chun. He must..."

But Fisher soon realized something. The feeling in his heart had never gone away, thus reminding him of the culprit that caused all these horrific changes.

There seems to be something wrong with the rules of death.

...

...

"Uncle Chun! Uncle Chun! It's not good!"

I'm afraid Yi Xiong's original body couldn't run smoothly from his Shangqing Mansion to Chun's palace, but since he turned into a skeleton, he didn't feel tired anymore. When he and Fisher arrived at Chun

I didn't feel tired at all when I was in Bo Palace.

Half of Chun Bo's palace collapsed. Occasionally, he could see some skeletons stretching out their hands among the broken bricks and rubble to call for help. Fisher rolled up the fluid sword in his hand and rescued one by one, watching them before they started.

Fortunately, he survived but was frightened by his terrifying posture at this moment. Fisher did not open his mouth to explain to them, but just followed Xiong to the back of the hall, where Uncle Chun lived.

The back of the hall is wide, but at this moment it is all covered with the weird four-leaf purple flowers. When Xiong and the others arrived, Chun was sitting peacefully on the steps in a daze, until he heard Xiong's shouts.

She picked up a lot of metal earrings and turned around with a jingle.

When he saw Xiong, whose whole body was covered with skeletons, his eyes narrowed for a moment, and then he showed an apology that was visible to the naked eye.

"Xiong, did you also die because of the earthquake?"

Of course the mythical species could see the aura of death surrounding him, but Xiong smiled carelessly when he heard this, cupped his hands and said,

"I didn't die because of the earthquake, I seemed to have died of illness... But I don't know why, I'm still awake now. Uncle Chun, these are not important, why is there an earthquake? The Tree Continent is supported by Lord World Tree.

Now we have turned into this weird look. Also, sir, the chun wood is broken, what about the [metabolized branches]?"

As mentioned before, elves need to plant trees on their bodies before they can be reincarnated after death. The tree implanted in the body of the previous body is called [Transmutation Branch], which is a branch fallen from the World Tree. After it is implanted in the body of the body,

It will remain in the corpse, and the corpse will turn into a towering tree until a new elf comes out of the tree four years later.

The metamorphosis branches will always exist in the tree. If the elf dies again later, the giant tree can be cut down, the metamorphosis branches can be taken out and planted into the elf's body again for the next reincarnation cycle. However, currently all elves have only done this once at most.

Just reincarnation.

"So... I don't know why there was an earthquake. I removed the entire tree when I performed the spell just now, and the metamorphic branches should have disappeared as well, but it doesn't matter. I'll just go to the capital to get it later."

Uncle Chun seemed to be a little distracted because of the sudden disaster in front of him. He didn't remember it until Xiong reminded him, but soon he shook his head and told Xiong,

"Xiong, you go to provide disaster relief now. I have something to talk to the envoys from the Holy Land."

"Yes, Uncle Chun."

Chun watched Xiong, who was covered in a skeleton, slowly running away. He seemed to be running much faster and more relaxed than when he was old. However, Chun's expression didn't seem to have changed significantly. He looked at Heller and said,

"The earthquake must have been caused by Lord Yggdrasil. At the same time as the earthquake just now, all of us elves received the decree and were not allowed to leave their own country. The method originally prepared for you to go to the royal capital can only be done by yourself.

, but fortunately, the destination is not far from our Chun country."

Heller said "Abba, Abba" without saying a word, Fisher sighed and said to Chun,

"You want us to find someone who can help us reach the royal capital?"

Uncle Chun took a deep look at Fisher, then shook his head and said,

"It's not one person, but a group of people, a race. They have a very good relationship with me. They are my friends who do not belong to the Chun Kingdom. They are also the only ones who can take you to the royal capital amid the legal blockade."

"They are the Phoenix species, a great race."

Fisher was slightly startled when he heard this, and for a moment he seemed to feel the biting cold wind in the north ten thousand years later.
