"So that's it. This is the path to demigod that Miss Galina is looking for so hard."
Standing in the glowing white fog, Xia De thoughtfully held the icy oval ice crystal tightly. The extremely cold temperature stimulated his palm and reminded him that this special souvenir After all, it still belongs to him.
Looking up to the front, there is a giant tree connecting the sky and the earth in the white mist. The root system is developed, the crown is luxuriant, and the tree pattern on the transparent trunk records the story of time and years.
Although there is no wind, the branches and leaves are still swaying in the white mist. A warm feeling washed over Xia De's body and soul, dispelling all negative states.
"But can Miss Chloe's journey really be repeated? Or can someone else's demigod path be retraveled a second time?"
Shad asked himself. Then I saw two overlapping leaves falling down in the swaying canopy.
He folded his hands together, and in another feeling of loss, held the two fallen leaves above his head, so that he had four youthful leaves in his hands.
The shadow of the giant tree gradually became blurred, and the white mist in front of him was also dissipating. But before Xia De completely exited the [Corridor of Time], the voice of "her" came from his ear:
[Outlander, the father of the infinite tree has noticed the power of the Pantanal evil. 】
"Um?"
For a moment, Xia De hoped that the tree father's power could directly kill that evil thing. Although this way the nuns will lose their firewood, but at least this battle will be much easier.
[Message from the father of the infinite tree:]
[This is the resentment of the birth of plants with the decline of the material world. 】
"That's it...that's really an ancient ancient evil."
The white mist in front of his eyes had all dissipated. At this time, Xia De still maintained the posture when he left just now and sat on the stone beside the bonfire by the lake. At his feet were the relics and alchemy items he left behind. The two extra leaves and the cold ice crystal in the hand represent the end of another adventure story.
And with Xia De's return, although the coldness of his body and soul had been driven away, the terrifying chill on the top of the Silver Mountain was brought out a little bit, and he almost immediately heard the rustling from the lake water The sound of freezing.
Fortunately, the frozen area is only a small area of the lakeside lit by the campfire.
[Outlander. You have returned to the present time. 】
[Message from the ancient **** "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Infinite time blesses you. 】
Holding two leaves in his hand, he was about to tell Iluna about the miraculous experience just now, but saw Iluna holding up the [Night Watchman] as if holding a silver torch, and walked towards the lake with a flushed face. Xia De could clearly see the expression of struggle on her face, as if she couldn't control her movements at this moment.
"Didn't I just leave for three seconds? What happened?"
Doubts suddenly arose in his heart. After the powerful miraculous element brought by the shadow of the father of the infinite tree disappeared around him, he almost immediately felt the trace of another extremely terrifying element, which was the whispering element.
He heard the sound of splashing water coming from the surface of the snow-falling lake, and he heard the seductive laughter of beautiful women playing in the lake.… .
! Even though he didn't see what appeared in the lake, he had already instinctively thought of a beautiful naked lady in white, laughing and playing with the water in the dark lake of heavy snow. This weird scene not only did not make Xia De feel terrible, but instead made some kind of the most primitive human desire rise up.
"oh!"
He jumped up as if jumping on the spot, and blocked Iluna's front. The bonfire illuminated Shad's slightly panicked face. He widened his eyes and looked towards the dark lake.
The head of a beautiful woman was looking at him with a smile in the lake. The head appeared on the outside of the ice, as if it was the edge of a swimming pool. That beautiful face was right on the bright edge of the bonfire, and the light and shadow interlaced on the face, which could not be described with any adjectives, as if all the beautiful features in the world were concentrated on that face.
Xia De saw the shadows of familiar girls in it. Even those purple eyes are very similar to the color of Luvia's eyes.
Looking at Xia De with glowing eyes, he bit his lower lip lightly with his white teeth, leaving an inconspicuous red mark. The broken hair in front of the forehead covered the white forehead, and the water droplets on the wet hair slipped from the side of the face and fell into the cold lake water along the neck. posture.
The panicked Xia De already knew what he had encountered:
"desire!"
He didn't hide his hostility and panic at all*, what a level 0 relic means, he had already fully understood it during the Battle of Fort Midhill. The body completely blocked Iluna, and he realized that his voice was so hoarse when he spoke:
"Why are you here?"
"Long time no see, interesting soul."
The bright and charming eyes looked at Xia De with a smile, but Xia De could clearly see the greed in those breathtaking eyes.
"Father of the infinite tree, shouldn't you protect me when I complete the task and return to the present time? Why..."
[Probably because she is not hostile to you. 】
Xia De did not believe this judgment at all. He tried his best to cover Iluna with his body. When the seventeen-year-old girl faced the 0-level relic [Desire] for the first time, she was as unbearable as Xia De at the base of the Aurora mansion in Coldwater Harbor. After Xia De appeared, she became a little more sober, hid behind Xia De, grabbed the hem of his clothes, blushed and lowered her head.
Even if she didn't look directly at her, the image of the "mermaid" had already penetrated into her heart just with that one glance.
"Let me take a look, [Gluttony], [Greedy], [Laziness], and now there is [Rage]. Not bad, really good."
The hoarse female voice continued, her voice was extremely clear in the wind, even though the two sides were separated by a distance of ten meters.
Behind the beautiful woman's head, there was a huge sound of splashing water in the lake. Xia De immediately thought of a mermaid's huge tail slapping the water, but then he thought that the "mermaid" in front of him was not a real mermaid .… .
! Xia De no longer wants to recall the body of 【Desire】.
"Can rage be considered desire?"
Xia De asked, the beautiful woman's head laughed softly, the laughter plucked at the heartstrings of the two people present, Xia De obviously felt that Iluna behind her trembled.
"I'm here because someone called me. It's an ancient ritual that uses desire crystals as a sacrifice. Before they used the ritual, they probably didn't know what they would call. After seeing me, they were very surprised." .But those humans don't seem to know what I am."
She smiled and said that the water surface was undulating, but her clean chin and arms were always above the ice surface, and her huge body under the water surface was stirring the bottom of the water wantonly.
Xia De also had the special material "Crystal of Desire", and he had already decided to sell it as soon as possible after returning home.
"What did they ask you to do?"
Shad asked. Desire really answered him:
"Saved some souls as sacrifices, and asked me to stop those who tried to land on the island by the lake. But I knew you were coming, so I came directly to you."
Biting his lips again, this look reminded Shad of Miss Chloe for some reason.
The black night is so deep, even Piaoxue can't feel how cold Xia De's heart is. Compared with the chosen one, he even thinks [Desire] is more difficult to deal with, but fortunately, the other party seems to have no malicious intentions this time:
"You don't have to worry, I can guarantee that the so-called 'test' that prevents people from landing on the island is not more dangerous than me."
Shad couldn't imagine anything more dangerous than her.
"So*, have you read the book I gave you?"
Seeing that Xia De no longer spoke, but was trying to find a chance to leave, the beautiful woman's head asked with a smile.
"Yes, I read it several times and learned some practical thaumaturgy."
The chuckle was as sweet as a silver bell. Even though it was not the first time he had dealt with desire, Xia De still felt that the desire in his heart was rising. No mortal can be completely immune to the influence of [Desire], even if Xia De has [Blessing of the Wise].
"It's good~www.mtlnovel.com~ But, I can't let you leave easily. Just like last time, interesting soul, help me do something."
Xia De nodded, and the seventeen-year-old girl behind him gradually regained her senses, but she still refused to let go of the hand holding Xia De's clothes:
"What do I need to do? Oh. On the island in the middle of the lake opposite, there are many souls full of desire."
"Yes, this is an interesting place."
A white hand wiped the lipsticked lips, and at the same time Xia De's eyes were keenly observing the lip lines in the dark night, the hand on the ice retracted under the water, leaving only the head still water surface:
"The soul with the strongest desire even tries to peek at the laurels of God's knowledge and wisdom—kill the chosen one for me and get his soul—you don't think I will make such a request, do you?"
Another chuckle, still so charming and elegant. But to be honest, a naked girl swimming in the lake on a snowy night probably has an extraordinary charm.
[Desire] The light purple eyes looked at Xia De, and the voice was unusually gentle:
"I don't even have to peek at your desires, I can see such thoughts from your face. But unfortunately, I won't intervene in the epic of the Sixth Epoch."
"So what do you want me to do?"
