Under the Vermillion Bird's shadow, a ball of scarlet flames descended from the sky and landed on Xi Ling's body, completely enveloping it in a ball of flames. Following that, two scorching auras shot towards Ling Chen … Those were two gazes from the Vermillion Bird. The Vermillion Bird's eyes were scarlet, and even though this was only a gaze from its soul, it made Ling Chen feel as if he was being watched by the real Vermillion Bird at close range. The majesty and coercion of a divine beast made his entire body bear an enormous pressure.
Hu …
A cool breeze suddenly blew past Ling Chen's body, and in a split second, the frighteningly high temperature that was roasting Ling Chen's body suddenly disappeared without a trace. All of the discomfort he felt disappeared, and the loss of his life completely stopped. Ling Chen looked at the Vermillion Bird's shadow in astonishment, and in his heart, he marveled at the might of a Mysterious God beast.
"You came here just to have me save it?"
The Vermillion Bird's voice slowly rang out. It was as calm as the wind, without any joy or sorrow. It seemed distant, but also seemed close to his ear. Ling Chen nodded: "She's about to lose her life because of me, please save her … In this world, only you can save her."
"Since you know that only I can save her, then, you should also know what kind of price I'll have to pay if I save her."
Ling Chen's expression was gloomy, and he sighed: "If you want to save her, then you'll have to burn your own flames of life in order to reawaken her flames of life. After that, your strength and life will also completely disappear … I know that this request is very selfish. But apart from you, I can't find any other way to save her. "
"Since that's the case, why did you still disregard your life and come here? With your strength, being able to reach this place can already be called a miracle, and you must have endured a burning pain that ordinary people can't bear. Don't you know that all of the efforts you've put in, not only will it not go as you wish, it will also cause you to be buried in this purgatory of fire? Where does your self-confidence come from? "
Ling Chen raised his head and said with a serious expression, "Because I believe that you, the Vermilion Bird, is a benevolent beast. She has the Golden Crow's power, and if she dies, the Forgotten Continent's most powerful Flame power will disappear forever. As a powerful and benevolent Flame God Beast, you definitely wouldn't want this to happen. I said that, right? "
The Vermillion Bird's gaze remained fixed on him, causing Ling Chen to bear an extremely heavy pressure in his heart. Under such pressure, ordinary people might not even be able to complete a sentence, let alone tell a lie. After listening to Ling Chen's answer, Vermillion Bird was silent. The flames burning on Xi Ling's body expanded slightly, burning more and more fiercely.
Beads of sweat trickled down Ling Chen's forehead, not because of the heat, but because of the extreme nervousness in his heart. Xi Ling's life and death would be decided by the Vermillion Bird's answer … wishes were beautiful. However, would the Vermillion Bird, who had such a prestigious status, was incredibly powerful, and was the guardian beast of the Vermillion Bird City, be willing to give up its life for Xi Ling?
In the tense silence, the Vermillion Bird's voice once again sounded out.
"What you said is half right, and half wrong."
Ling Chen: "… …"
"The Golden Crow's flames are on a much higher level than mine, and it is the supreme power of Flame. It is something that I have always looked up to. Indeed, I don't want to see the Golden Crow's flames disappear forever. However, I have my own mission and my own selfishness. Asking me to give up my mission and life in exchange for the continuation of the Golden Crow's flames is something that I can't do. "
The Vermillion Bird's reply caused Ling Chen's heart to freeze. He frowned and hurriedly said, "But …"
"Unless, you can promise me three things."
As soon as Ling Chen's words left his mouth, he was interrupted by the Vermillion Bird. After his heart froze, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised. He immediately nodded and said resolutely, "As long as you are willing to save Xi Ling, no matter what you want me to do, I will do my best to complete it."
"Very good." The Vermillion Bird's gaze seemed to soften. At least, Ling Chen could clearly feel that the pressure on his body had lessened a lot, "These three things, you must agree to all of them or do them. If you can't do one of them, even if the Golden Crow's flames disappear forever, I will not save it."
Ling Chen nodded again. Although the Vermillion Bird hadn't said what it wanted him to do, he was already extremely pleasantly surprised. Because at this moment, he could clearly see the hope of Xi Ling being saved! The Vermillion Bird had actually agreed to help Xi Ling so directly and conditionally. This had already made Ling Chen overjoyed.
"The first thing is that you must immediately lift the life contract with it. For some unknown reason, it had undergone nirvana before. Its second life is dependent on your source of life. If it doesn't lift the life contract with you, even if it recovers, its life will still be linked to you. If you die, it will also die. If you want it to die, it must also die. How can the Sovereign of Fire be subject to a human in terms of life and freedom! After lifting the life contract, it will have complete freedom after it recovers. At that time, whether it will find you, destroy you, or continue to follow you, it will all be up to its own will! "
Ling Chen nodded without hesitation, "The life contract I had with it was purely to save her. If I can return her complete freedom, I will be very happy. But … how can I lift this life contract? If I lift it, will it cause her life to immediately dry up? "
"You don't need to worry about this. In a state of near death, this is the only time to lift this contract. After lifting it, under the protection of my flames, it will not have any danger to its life. What you need to do is not to resist! Because you are the initiator, if you resist, even I will not be able to lift the life contract between you. "
As the Vermillion Bird's voice fell, two red lights suddenly flashed in its huge eyes. One fell on Ling Chen's body, and the other fell on Xi Ling's body. Vaguely, Ling Chen felt as if something was being pulled out of his body.
"Ding … you will be lifted from the life contract between you and your pet 'Xi Ling'. After the life contract is lifted, 'Xi Ling' will still belong to you as your pet, but it will be separated from the 'live and die together' and 'cannot betray' state, and can leave the pet category at any time. Do you allow it? "
"Allow." After the prompt sounded, Ling Chen gave a response at the first moment.
The red light immediately dissipated, and there seemed to be something missing in his mind. Another prompt sounded, "Ding … the life contract between you and your pet 'Xi Ling' has been lifted."
After the contract was lifted, Ling Chen did not feel any unwillingness or regret. On the contrary, he felt a sense of relief. He had made the life contract in order to save Xi Ling, but it had also completely restricted Xi Ling's freedom, and could not be lifted. In this way, if Xi Ling recovered, she would still have complete freedom. To Xi Ling, this was undoubtedly the best outcome. When that time came, Xi Ling would be able to do whatever she wanted, and would no longer be tied down by him.
"Indeed, you did not resist at all, and your state of mind has always been very peaceful. It seems that you do not have any selfish or greedy intentions towards it. The fact that you were willing to risk your life and the pain of burning your body to come here is enough to prove that you truly care for it. Now, listen carefully to the second thing I want you to do … I bear the responsibility of protecting the Vermillion Bird City. If I die, the entire Vermillion Bird City will fall into chaos. So, if I use my life to save it, you must not tell anyone about my death, not even the people closest to you! Even if it was the person closest to her, it was best to forget about it forever. Also, if one day, the Vermillion Bird City is faced with a disaster, you must do everything you can to help the Vermillion Bird City overcome the disaster. Do you agree? "
"Yes!" Ling Chen nodded his head solemnly, "I won't tell anyone about you. Although my power is very weak, if one day, the Vermillion Bird City is faced with a disaster, I will do everything in my power to save it. "
The Vermillion Bird's gaze was calm as it slowly stated the last condition it wanted Ling Chen to agree to, "The third thing is, within one month, find me a human with a Flame Soul and bring him here."
"A … human with a Flame Soul?" This time, Ling Chen was stunned.
"If it dies, the Golden Crow's Flames will be extinguished forever. I still have no descendants, so if I die, the Vermillion Bird's Flames will also disappear from this world. I can't bear to see the Golden Crow's Flames disappear, and I don't want the Vermillion Bird's Flames to be destroyed by me. Otherwise, I will become the Vermillion Bird Clan's eternal sinner. So, before I save it, I must find a living creature to inherit my Vermillion Bird's Flames. Only a human with a Flame Soul can withstand my Vermillion Bird's Flames in a short period of time. A human's potential is the greatest among all living creatures. Only a human with a Flame Soul can withstand the Vermillion Bird's Flames and release its power. If I can't find a human with a Flame Soul, even if the Golden Crow's Flames will disappear, I won't agree to save it. "
Compared to the previous two conditions, this was the most difficult one for Ling Chen. He thought for a moment and asked, "Then how can I find a human with a Flame Soul? What are the characteristics of a human with a Flame Soul? Could it be that their bodies can burn with fire? "
"Fire is not a human's natural attribute. It is rare for a human with a Flame Soul to exist, so it is almost impossible to find one. A human with a Flame Soul will display an extremely high talent for controlling fire, but they will often have to endure the pain of being burned by the fire. As the Flame Soul grows, the human body will find it harder and harder to endure. Therefore, it is impossible for a human with a Flame Soul to live past the age of twenty. However, if you can inherit my power, not only will your lifespan increase by a thousand or even ten thousand years, the Flame Soul in your body will also become a source of power that you can control at will. You can even control the Vermillion Bird's Flames in a short period of time. You, take this. "
A faint red light flashed in the sky. Following that, a red feather slowly floated down from the sky and accurately floated in front of Ling Chen. Ling Chen stretched out his hand, and held it in his hand.
"This is my feather. You can use it to find a person with a Flame Soul in their body. When it is within ten steps of a person with a Flame Soul, it will release a red light. "
