Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 141 Mother of Skyfire
Hearing Bika's answer, Jiatu took a deep breath.

However, before he could calm down and face the reality, he heard the girl masked by the white wolf skull continue to say:

"Although I don't know how the goddesses used to do it, if you don't mind, you can use "The Seed of Desire"."

""Seed of Desire"?!"

Now, including Leng Dao, Jiatu and the others were all stunned.

"The seed of wish...is it really useful?"

Leng Dao, who was the initiator of the proposal, seemed a little hesitant: "Although "The Seed of Desire" does do everything, but awakening the mother of fire..."

"Besides "Seed of Desire", I don't know any other way."

Bika, on the other hand, looked very calm, with an expression of "it's up to you":

"But if I were a legendary goddess, facing the obsessive demands of my ancestors, even if it was just to comfort him, I would let him swallow "The Seed of Desire"—even if the result is likely to become a 'wreck' and die."

Jiatu nodded, and understood that the so-called emptiness was the kind of wolf-like monster that Leng Mou and the others had turned into.

In the tradition of the tree wolf clan, those who swallowed the seeds of desire but failed to maintain their human form were called "voids", which was similar to the concept of "wish turns into emptiness and flesh becomes horror".

All in all, it is the so-called "failure".

Only door openers like Jiatu and the others can maintain their human form with a high probability after using "Seed of Desire".

Because of this, the Timberwolves treated them fairly well.

Because in the legend of the wolf tribe, the person who can swallow the "Seed of Desire" without dying is the legendary saint and goddess——

That is, the identity of Bika.

It's just that there are too many holy goddesses who are one in a million in the legend, so over time, except for some old people who strictly abide by tradition, most of the tree wolf tribe's attitude towards them has weakened from worship to respect. Respect.

Even tree wolf warriors like Leng Dao and Leng Mou who have been completely de-enchanted due to too much contact——

If it were more than a hundred years ago, it would be enough to call it "big disrespect".

However, considering the duties of the Goddesses of the Wolf Tribe who swallowed "The Seed of Desire" and survived, Jiatu was not surprised that the Wolf Tribes respected the Goddesses and Sons.

After hearing what Bika said, Leng Dao also pondered——

"Do you think I have a chance to pass the trial of "Seed of Desire"?"

"You have too many distracting thoughts."

Bika was not too polite: "Even I am just a half-finished product of a goddess, unable to leave the White Wolf Shrine like my ancestors, and at the same time serve as the patriarch, holy son and chief priest—"

"Even in this situation, do you think I can't protect the clan wholeheartedly?!"

Leng Dao seemed to feel offended, but at the same time felt sad, and asked Bika Dao at a loss.

"It hasn't been long since Uncle Lengmou transformed into a skeleton..."

Bika just said half a sentence, and suddenly realized the expressions on Lengdao and Jiatu's faces, and stopped the next half of the sentence:
"Feel sorry……"

"fine……"

Leng Dao took a deep breath and gradually understood: "So, if I swallow "The Seed of Desire" now, there is more than half the probability that the old thing will be revived?"

"It will become a monster with mixed wishes."

Bika was not polite, she didn't want to let Leng Dao have any illusions because of vague words:

"One-third of your thoughts are to become an upright warrior leader like Uncle Leng Mou, one-third of your thoughts are to revive Uncle Leng Dao, and the remaining one-third is to save the tree wolf village—— —”

"Even so, compared to awakening the Mother of Skyfire and protecting the Forest of the Tree Wolf Clan, you would rather only protect the forest of the White Wolf Clan..."

"Is it too narrow..."

Leng Dao murmured, gradually reacting.

""The Seed of Desire" is the fruit of the 'heart'. If the 'container' is too small, it is not enough to support such a big wish..."

Bika said lightly.

She seemed to look at Jiatu very firmly:

"Do you want to try?"

"me?"

Jiatu was slightly taken aback.

When Leng Dao found him, he really wanted to witness the ceremony of awakening the Mother of Skyfire.

But he felt that he was only a supporting role at most, but he didn't expect that Leng Dao didn't meet the qualifications to awaken the Mother of Skyfire, so Bika turned his attention to himself.

He didn't feel that Bika was deceiving himself on purpose——

Because if he fails, the tree wolf clan will not get any benefits.

Although I don't understand how Bika did it, as a goddess of the tree wolf tribe, she seems to have the ability to observe "people's hearts".

The wet girl nodded slightly:
"Your thoughts are very simple. Although you only have very weak thoughts, your other thoughts are also very vague. With the help of the external brain terror, you should not become a ghost."

"But it doesn't necessarily guarantee success..."

Jiatu recalled what Sun Simiao had told them not to whisper, and realized that trainees would also be affected by their thoughts.

Too strong desires will devour oneself, and instead come here in a daze, it is very suitable to be a "container"——

Because he is very "empty".

"You are just a spectator now."

Bika seemed to see through his thoughts, and said lightly:

"You want to see the end?"

"You want to see a good ending?"

Seeing Jiatu nodded, she nodded and said:
"That's enough."

"But... are you really planning to hand over the future of the ethnic group to a mercenary—a spectator?"

Jiatu still couldn't believe it.

But Bika just took his hand and led him slowly towards the cold pool——

"If in order to see a good ending, you are willing to pay the price with your life..."

"Then entrusting the context of the story to you, is there any problem?"

.

Jiatu was at a loss.

He didn't know what Bika meant by "paying the price with life".

But before he could think clearly, Bika dragged his right hand and sank into the pool.

"Curiosity really can kill the cat..."

Jiato realized the problem belatedly.

Some resigned to their fate and slowly sank into the depths of the spring.

The spring water in the cold pool is very cold, but Bika's left hand is very warm.

He opened his eyes subconsciously, and saw a huge golden branch at the bottom of the deep blue pool.

This branch goes deep into the bottom of the pool, and there are countless golden "Seeds of Desire" growing out of the pool.

These seeds have different shapes and are still changing over time.

In Jiatu's sight, the number of "Seeds of Desire" was already very sparse, most of them had withered, and a small part was barely still shining with golden light, but it also became very dim.

He suddenly realized belatedly that this was the impact of the invasion of zombie tide giants and ghouls.

(Puts hands up.)
Jiatu saw Bika talking with her lips.

With the main outfit Brain, lip language is of course a compulsory course for trainees.

But he hesitated, not knowing what to do.

But the omens of death are too vague, and the power of reason too powerful—

In a state of half-push, he put his hands on the branch.

In the next second, countless colorful rotating flashes appeared in front of his eyes——

When he came back to his senses, he was already above the sky.

.

Jiatu took a deep breath and felt his legs tremble a little.

He felt as if he was standing in the air, only a looming white auspicious cloud supported him.

This auspicious cloud rose into the sky from behind him and disappeared at the end of Tianhuo Peak in the distance.

And under him is the forest of the tree wolf clan.

As if he had the perspective of God, he could see large areas of ghouls pouring in from the old cracks caused by the earthquake before the Great Barrier of Skyfire.

In the direction of the Heilang Clan, Cang Jianmu has been uprooted, and the hundreds of meters high corpse tide giant has joined the ghoul group and is constantly attacking the core barrier near Tianhuo Peak.

The detachments of the other three clans were already approaching their destination, and they were about to enter the vicinity of Cang Jianmu.

And so far, they are the only ones who have successfully reached this point——

Exactly, only him.

"It's called Rainbow Bridge...but it doesn't look like a rainbow at all..."

Jiatu looked at the bridge of auspicious clouds under his feet, sighed, and walked forward slowly as if being pushed by someone behind him.

Walking on the towering auspicious clouds, Jiatu slowly recalled the progress of the past few days, and suddenly realized what it means to be "a hero made by the times".

Even if he doesn't have the idea of ​​becoming a "hero", but he is in this position, then only he can bear this responsibility.

"The so-called 'people' refers to a state of highly conscious people formed through long-term political mobilization, who have a deep understanding of their own structural position and social destiny, share historical consensus to gain mission awareness, share a common political vision and act, and Refuse to compromise..."

For some reason, Jiatu suddenly remembered this sentence that he had seen in a glimpse in his previous life.

but

In the tide of corpses and the crowd going upstream, he really felt the "conscious and self-aware mission cognition"——

If he really was the one whose "mission" was waiting.

Push away the layers of thick fog.

Jiatu entered the interior of Tianhuo Peak.

He saw the "mother of fire in the sky".

In other words, a woman similar to the Mother of Skyfire.

It was a 40-year-old woman who looked like an adult woman who had already given birth.

But it is very charming, with long hair in a ponytail bound by intertwined white, black, red, gray and brown hair, which hangs high behind her head, and her foxy eyes are very lazy, as if she is half awake and half asleep.

He was wearing a Hanfu similar to a deep garment, and the wide collar was half opened, revealing a white chest and two round hemispheres.

Holding an old-fashioned pipe in her left hand, she knocked on her bare legs, and said lightly:

"When things got here, there was nothing I could do."

Jiatu was slightly taken aback, but he didn't expect that the first sentence the other party spoke would be this.

The "Mother of Skyfire" pointed to the "rock" beside her and said:
"Sit down and chat with me."

Jiatu could feel that the woman was very weak, but the aura of being a "god" was there, especially compared to himself, which could highlight his insignificance.

So he nodded and said with some hesitation:

"What do you mean by 'no way'?"

"It's literally."

Mother of Skyfire sighed, shaking her long ponytail, and said helplessly:
"I have supported it alone for more than 3000 years. During this period, without any supplies, I can only rely on a small number of ghouls that were carefully put in, and the 'inner circulation' of the wolf clan to support the entire Skyfire Barrier."

"But the arrival of you and the Empire has upset this balance."

The Mother of Skyfire raised her left hand covered by her long sleeve, allowing Jiatu to see the skinny arm and darkened skin——

"The Black Wolf Clan and the Red Wolf Clan gave up their missions, Cang Jianmu gradually withered, and the slave hunting team from the empire kept kidnapping the people of the Tree Wolf Clan. "The Seed of Desire" and the Golden Branch..."

Hearing what Mother of Skyfire said, Jiatu couldn't help but feel a little sorry.

Because the refuge is also in a similar situation, he just imagined it briefly, and realized that the kidnapping of the tree wolf tribe and the "Seed of Desire" were taken away. Take away the same serious accident.

But Mother Skyfire didn't blame him for it—

"But forget it, anyway, you are also trading normally, because of the abundance of food, the population and survival number of the tree wolf tribe have indeed improved temporarily because of this..."

"But... the appearance of the corpse tide giant, has everything changed..."

Jiatu noticed that with each impact of the thick fog not far away, the black spot on the Mother of Skyfire was getting bigger.

Obviously, it only takes one or two hours to completely cover her whole body.

"This is doom..."

The Mother of Skyfire sighed, but she was very calm:

"I have continued my life for this world for 3000 years, but the external 'natural disasters' have not improved in any way, which means that our 'destiny' has come to an end."

"... 3000 years ago, what happened in this world?"

Hearing Mother of Skyfire talking to herself, Jiatu couldn't help asking.

"...The same thing happened in your world."

The Mother of Skyfire suddenly turned her head and glanced at Jiatu, she didn't answer directly with a half-smile:
"But forget it, I asked you to come here, just to inform you that this world is hopeless, and you all run for your lives."

Speaking of this, Mother of Skyfire suddenly hesitated, and said calmly:
"Take Bika and the others away. Even without their help, I can support myself for twelve hours. After twelve hours, the miasma will spread in. Even if you can fight against the ghouls, you will still Turned into a monster by the miasma."

The voice of the Mother of Skyfire was very calm, as if she was telling the posterity.

Jiato suddenly realized that he was witnessing a world——

The death of a "god".

"God... the world..."

Jiatu looked at the black spots spreading on the Mother of Skyfire, and suddenly felt that she gave him the feeling that she was very similar to those giants of light in Cyber ​​City.

Although the Mother of Skyfire gave him a stronger feeling than Daikina, there might not be any difference in essence.

So he couldn't help asking Mother of Skyfire——

"If... I mean if—"

"If you have enough Mako, can you save the world?"

　go home!Cool!
