After another while, Xia heard the other party's answer, "I will send a ray of magic power to your eyes. You touch the magic power and silently recite the World Tree in your heart."
Xia completed everything step by step according to Yggdrasil's words.
The surrounding scene changed in an instant. A huge tree appeared in front of Xia's eyes. The tree was about a hundred meters high and as wide as a building. There were several large and small puddles around it.
There was originally a lake nearby, but now the lake has almost completely disappeared.
Most of the leaves on the tree were yellow and dead, with only a few scattered green leaves. There were countless holes in the trunk, some large and some small, and wailing was constantly coming from inside.
"I'm going to die soon."
"The feeling of being chewed to death bit by bit."
"It hurts……"
"I'm going to die..."
…
Xia felt distressed and walked over and touched the tree trunk. The bark was old and rough, soft and very abnormal. Why was the bark soft?
Xia walked around the tree and found a two-meter-high hole behind the tree.
The bugs are as long as an adult's arm, as big as they are, and come in all colors.
Not just the sides, the entire cave wall was covered with bugs, one every half meter.
Kasumi looked up and saw that the hole was much larger than the entrance.
There was a little light above the head, and these insects had chewed through the World Tree from bottom to top.
It turns out that the countless big holes outside were made by these insects.
No wonder Yggdrasil said he was going to die.
No matter how big a tree is, it cannot withstand being eaten by countless insects at the same time.
Xia endured her nausea and reached out to catch the bugs. She hated the soft, slimy bugs very much. She felt sick when she saw them. Fortunately, the bugs would walk around her and never crawl onto her.
Kasumi thinks that the bugs here will also avoid her, so that the bugs will not destroy the World Tree.
At this time, the distance between Xia's hand and the insect was only five centimeters, but the insect was still eating the World Tree crazily, showing no signs of stopping.
Xia hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and grabbed it with her hands, and successfully caught the insect. The sticky liquid flowed from the insect into Xia's hand.
There was a stinging pain in the palm of the hand, and two rows of small teeth marks appeared on the palm of the hand. Xia immediately threw the insect to the ground. Only then did Xia dare to open her eyes and look at the insect on the ground.
The insect lay on its back, exposing its belly. Xia was startled when she saw the belly clearly, and took several steps back until it exited the tree hole.
The bug actually has a human face on its belly! The sticky liquid hit the saliva on the face, and the sting just now was because the face bit Kasumi.
Xia picked up the clothes on her chest and couldn't believe the scene in front of her.
The insect struggled to get up from the ground, quickly crawled towards the tree trunk, and bit the tree trunk.
Kasumi suddenly felt nauseous, their desire making Kasumi feel sick.
Do those insects in the trees all have human faces?
Why did they destroy the World Tree?
Xia ran towards the original place, "What are those bugs? How can I save you!!"
The wailing sound stopped, "Blood..."
Xia asked anxiously, "What blood? What do you need blood for?"
"Your blood..."
"Can you save me..."
After hearing this, Xia took out a fruit-cutting knife from her small flower bag and cut her wrist without hesitation. She put her wrist against the tree trunk and blood flowed out instantly from the wound.
The blood flows into the tree trunk, blends into the trunk and disappears.
The big hole three meters above Xia's head was healing bit by bit as the blood merged.
Xia looked up and saw that several large holes nearby were slowly healing.
Seeing that the effect was so good, Xia used a knife to cut the wound larger, and more blood flowed from the wound.
The World Tree spoke again, "Thank you, Kasumi."
His voice was much more coherent, unlike before where he had to take a break every time he spoke a word, which made people feel as if he would lose his life in the next moment.
The state of World Tree is much better than before.
Looking at the bleeding wound, Xia suddenly felt no pain at all.
"Sure enough, you have embarked on this road again."
It wasn't until she heard this that Xia came back from her happiness, "Do you know me?"
World Tree let out a laugh and sighed, "Is that so?"
World Tree thought to himself and said, "This is good."
Xia doesn't know why, and wants to know why World Tree knows her.
World Tree's warning voice came before her, "Don't get close to the royal family, don't let others find out that you can use magic, no one can."
Xia said, "Someone has already discovered it. If it hadn't been for them, I wouldn't have seen you."
World Tree sighed helplessly, "It's still too late...don't let them tell it, and don't tell anyone else about it."
"Otherwise, you will die."
Seeing that World Tree was serious, Xia smiled and nodded, "Okay, I won't tell anyone."
When the conversation changed, Xia asked again, "So why do you know me?"
Yggdrasil said an inexplicable sentence, "It's human."
"Those bugs are human beings, and signing me up is essentially finding a place for the bugs on my body."
"When humans use magic, the bugs that represent them eat me."
"I am magic."
Xia immediately gave her thoughts, "Then can you not let them use magic? Can you never sign a contract with others in the future? If you continue like this, you will die."
It's possible to live a good life without magicians.
World Tree replied, "This is not something I can decide. I cannot change the instructions of the gods. I was born to exist for humans."
After hearing this, Xia lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "But I don't want you to die."
World Tree said, "Don't worry, with your blood, I won't be able to die for the time being."
After hearing this, Xia used the knife to cut her wrist again. The vein was severed and the blood inside spurted out as if desperate.
At this moment, she seemed to have lost her sense of pain, and it didn't matter even if the blood on her body was shed for the sake of World Tree.
Normally Kasumi would not dare to imagine such a thing.
An unknown magic power touched the wound, and the blood flow slowed down a lot. The wound showed signs of healing, and the blood flowing out was even smaller than before.
Xia was a little anxious and raised her hand to cut again.
Xia always felt that this little blood was nothing, and it didn't matter if she shed a little more.
World Tree stopped her with a voice, "That's enough. Don't hurt yourself anymore. I don't want you to die either."
World Tree's somewhat melancholy voice floated over, "He is indeed still protecting you, that's great..."
Xia bit her lip unwillingly and said nothing.
World Tree seemed to be able to hear Xia's heartfelt voice, "Don't try, you won't succeed. That magic power is not mine, it is his, and he will not let you die."
Xia had no choice but to take the knife back, "Who is he?"
For some unknown reason, World Tree did not tell Kasumi, "the secret."
