"Who is speaking?"
"It's me, old man!"
Migu looked around and saw no one but himself.
"I am Lake Spirit!"
"Lake spirit?"
"That's right! The saint took the lake water into her portable space. After I came out, I became conscious, but I couldn't speak. I practice hard every day, and I am very diligent!"
Migu nodded, and there was another elf in Wanling Valley who was powerless.
"well……"
"Why are you still sighing?" Hu Ling was puzzled. The flowers and trees in Wanling Valley are most afraid of fire, and since they can overcome fire themselves, doesn't this provide an additional protective barrier? Why still sigh?
"I lament that I can't protect these children."
"I can!" Hu Ling said innocently, "I am Hu Ling. With me here, you don't have to be afraid of fire."
Mi Gu smiled rarely after hearing this, "My child, you are right. Hahaha..."
"Why are you laughing..." Hu Ling felt aggrieved.
"Child, fire is not the only thing that can hurt people in this world." After saying that, he fell into silence again.
Hu Ling was a little confused after hearing this and thought about it secretly. For a moment, the lakeside fell into silence again.
until…
"Grandpa Gu, Sister Qiye is back." The mulberry tree spirit fell down by the lake and shouted loudly as if fleeing.
Mi Gu was delighted, "Where are the people?"
"Just arrived outside the barrier."
Mi Gu was stunned, didn't he come in?
"It was the old tree spirit at the door who said that Sister Qiye is coming this way. I'm afraid that she will be discovered by other spiritual beasts when she arrives, so I will come and call you quickly." The mulberry tree spirit got up and explained anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Mi Gu immediately stood up and rushed to the entrance, "You have thought well. If you stay for a long time, you will be discovered by the surrounding spirit beasts. It is best for her to come in directly when she reaches the entrance, so that the spirit beasts will only think that she is going there. Keep walking."
Arriving at the entrance like the wind, Mi Gu cautiously opened a crack, and then saw a sneaky figure coming this way. While walking, she cleared the traces. Just when Migu thought she was about to reach the entrance, Qiye moved a big stone from nowhere and blocked the crack in the mountain leading to Wanling Valley.
"..." Mi Gu was speechless.
Qiye didn't know that she was being targeted when she entered the mountain, and she was cleaning up traces all the way, even though she would not leave any traces.
After blocking the cracks in the mountain, Qiye finally breathed a sigh of relief, praying in his heart that he would never be discovered by the blind spiritual beast. When he turned around, he saw Mi Gu's looming face, and his head suddenly became dizzy, and he entered the barrier without any delay.
"Mi Gu, what are you doing? What if you tear open the barrier and are discovered?" Qiye was anxious and angry. "Huang Yu gave me the spiritual key to enter and exit freely. As long as I hold it, I can come in directly."
Mi Gu slapped his forehead and said, "I was so anxious that I forgot." Then he carefully checked whether there were any cracks in the barrier.
Qiye was speechless, but seeing Mi Gu's nervous look, he lost his temper. He was also worried that he could not protect Wanling Valley, and was a little anxious.
After looking back and forth at the elves surrounding the entrance, Nanaba's uneasiness finally eased a bit. As long as it didn't happen before, there was hope.
"There will be no problems with the barrier for the time being. Let's go in first."
Mi Gu nodded and invited everyone to go to the lake.
When the group of people arrived at the lake, all the elves in the valley were already waiting there.
Qiye looked at the Wuyangyang elves and felt a little helpless, but thinking about the methods he had thought of along the way, he felt that it was most important to save most of them.
"Mi Gu, I have an idea, I just need your opinion." Qiye stared at Mi Gu closely, for fear of missing his reaction.
"I've been sitting here for half a month and I haven't come up with any good ideas. Just say it." After Mi Gu said this, he looked at the elves, with ripples in his eyes.
"There are all spiritual beasts outside Yang Mountain. If Wanling Valley is exposed, we can't stop it at all, so we can only defend and wait for rescue. Only Huang Yu has a chance to call for rescue in Lingqi Valley, and she can't do it now. You know where it is." When the elves heard this, they all expressed disappointment, "Huang Yu didn't run away, she had a more important mission. If she completes it successfully, we don't have to bear the risk of being discovered by the spirit beasts, but if She can't...finish it before we are discovered, then we have no choice but to save ourselves."
Qiye knew that most of the elves in front of him were transformed without any trouble and without any fighting ability. They were not even as good as Xiao Huihui. If they wanted to protect themselves, they had to give up some very important things.
Qiye couldn't bear it, but she had to make this decision to preserve Wanling Valley.
"Now, the spirit Izuku has experienced stands behind me."
The elves looked at Qiye and then at Migu.
Mi Gu nodded and made way for the two of them.
…
There are only 1,300 elves in total.
Qiye already knew that there wasn't much, but he didn't expect it to be so little.
Mi Gu knew that he had arranged for them to go out before, so Qiye must have thought that most of them had gone out. "Although we arrange to leave the valley once every hundred years, this arrangement has only been for more than 20,000 years, so naturally there are not that many..."
Qiye felt heartbroken. She didn't know how many clan members they would lose due to the next arrangement, but if they didn't do it, they might be exterminated.
"Children, are you willing to sacrifice for Wanling Valley?" Mi Gu felt Qiye's emotions, and he felt distressed, but there was nothing he could do.
"Not necessarily. If the Saint successfully completes her mission, wouldn't you be able to take back your spiritual power and change back?"
A childish voice sounded in the ears of the elves.
Qiqiye:? How does it know its plan?
"Those of you who have never been out lose your spiritual power to those who have gone out and experienced it, and then you fall into a deep sleep. Either wait for them to return your spiritual power to you, or wait until you slowly come back from cultivation, and then you can turn into human form again. "
The light voice of the lake spirit surrounded the ears of every elf that had not moved. They all agreed that it made sense, but where should they sleep?
"You can do it at the bottom of the lake~ And I can also help you withstand fire attacks, so you don't have to worry about being burned~"
Qiye finally figured out who it was, was it just Hu Ling? After looking at Mi Gu, Mi Gu nodded.
"We do!"
"We do!"
…
Young and immature voices sounded one after another.
The ripples in Mi Gu's eyes finally turned into water drops.
Qiye's water-filled eyes were retracted under extreme control.
Turning around to face the crowd of thirteen hundred people, "Are you willing?"
Without waiting for an answer, Qiye continued, "Receiving their spiritual power means that you must do your best to protect them while they are sleeping. It means that they will not die but you will. They will be beaten back to their original form and their foundation will be damaged. , it is more likely that it will disappear without even being able to change back to its original form, are you willing?"
silence…
It is the silence of the eight thousand elves that I want, the silence of Migu, and the silence of Qiye.
"Will you come with us?" A familiar voice sounded, it was the innocent Phalaenopsis.
"I will!" Qiye nodded fiercely.
