Chapter 693 Cemetery
"Brother, are you sure you're not leading the wrong way?"
At this moment, Ye Qiong has reached the edge of the cliff, looking down at the abyss deep in front of him. Even he can't help but feel panicked.
Want to jump? Now?
He made a last attempt and looked up at the flame elf floating directly above.
Then, he saw this scene,
The flame elf rushed downwards without hesitation, without looking back.
In less than a second, Ye Qiong could only see an extremely small point of light flickering.
It seems that this is the correct path judged by the flame elf.
However, you may be able to reach your destination by jumping off the cliff, but who knows if this flame elf learned from a certain evil map?
The destination can definitely be reached. As for how to cross mountains and rivers, it has nothing to do with it.
What Ye Qiong fears most is that the flame elf chooses a path that can reach the Sword of Dawn the fastest.
This road may be fine for this disembodied spirit and can be reached easily, but for him, a patient, it is a bit difficult.
Because of his recent resurrection, his strength is not as strong as before.
Many abilities cannot be used now.
If any enemy appears while jumping off the cliff, wouldn't that be enough?
Seeing the light spot below gradually getting smaller, Ye Qiong also understood that if he continued to think like this, it would only be a waste of time.
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and jumped off the cliff.
When he just jumped down, the unexpected feeling of weightlessness did not come. Ye Qiong did not even use the flying technique and easily floated in the air.
It seemed that there was a mysterious force at work, protecting him in this abyss.
Ye Qiong, who noticed this, couldn't help but feel relieved.
It seems that Soderth is the biggest disaster in this trip to the devil world. Now that he has successfully overcome his fate, it is time to reap the fruits of his victory.
He lowered his head and glanced at his heart, and made some mental calculations. The time left for him now should be only about an hour.
When this hour passes, the fire in his heart will be completely extinguished, and he will usher in the fate of death.
Seeing this, Ye Qiong chose to speed up,
Although the current situation looks like victory is just around the corner, who knows if there will be any surprises in the final journey?
He came back from the dead and didn't want any accidents to happen.
Therefore, he must leave himself some room, at least enough time, to prevent accidents from happening.
It took about five minutes for him to land smoothly.
He raised his head and glanced around. The scene that appeared in front of him was quite magical.
The bottom of the cliff is not a wasteland. The trees here are extremely lush, almost blocking the view of the sky.
Appearing directly in front are groups of light spots of different colors, just like fireflies, constantly floating in the air, adding a different color to this place.
At this time, Ye Qiong seemed to have broken into the forest of fireflies, looking at the scenery that appeared in front of him with some disbelief.
He was very sure that the light spots floating above were of the same species as the fire elves that led him here.
These little guys showed a kind attitude towards him, and after seeing his arrival, they flew forward in unison.
Soon, a line made by elves appeared in mid-air. This gorgeous line seemed to be guiding him to a certain place.
We have already come here, where can Ye Qiong choose and retreat again?
The fire in his heart was about to go out, and it was no longer possible for him to look for the second possibility.
Following the guidance of the elves, he kept traveling through the forest of fireflies, and finally stopped in front of a cemetery.
There were no weeds growing nearby. It was obvious that someone came here frequently to clean up.
There was no writing on the tombstone, so Ye Qiong couldn't tell who owned this cemetery.
The flame spirit responsible for guiding him has now landed on the torch placed in front of the tombstone.
The torch on the left has been lit by the flame elf, and the torch on the right is still empty.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qiong suddenly understood.
Is it possible that in order to make the Sword of Dawn appear, two flame elves need to be returned to the torch at the same time?
The flame elf on the back of his right hand was gone. Where could he find another flame elf in a short period of time?
Just when he thought of this, Ye Qiong suddenly remembered, isn't there still a flame in his heart?
If the flame in the heart is placed on the torch, can some mechanism be activated to make the Sword of Dawn appear?
This conjecture can be said to be quite bold. If his judgment is wrong, it means that his life will completely come to an end.
The flame in his heart was related to his life, so it couldn't be easily used on an uncertain guess.
Ye Qiong wanted to try it and look for other possibilities.
He came to the vicinity of the cemetery and rummaged around, trying to find out if the owner of the cemetery had left any clues.
But in the end, nothing was found.
Finally, he set his sights on the huge pit near the tombstone. From the size of the pit, he could easily tell that the owner of this cemetery was obviously not a human being, but a huge race like dragons and giants. .
What he wanted to do now was very simple.
Can he find clues through this cemetery?
Just as he was about to start,
suddenly, an old voice came into his mind.
"Young man, you are going too far."
The moment he heard this voice, Ye Qiong immediately stepped back a few steps and looked at the cemetery in front of him with vigilance.
"Don't be nervous. I have been dead for many years. If you really have any bad intentions, I am afraid I can only watch."
Doesn't that mean I can really do that bold thing?
"Young man, you are really going too far."
As if he had noticed Ye Qiong's bold idea, the owner of the cemetery spoke again,
Then, a blue ball of light floated out of the cemetery.
Although this ball of light did not have eyes, Ye Qiong inexplicably felt as if he was being stared at.
"I just said it casually, do you really believe it?"
"Of course not, I haven't started yet, right?"
Although he didn't know what kind of existence he was facing, he was about to die, so what was there to worry about?
Seeing that the other party had crawled out of the cemetery, he had nothing to worry about.
He came to the tombstone and sat down, then said:
"So, who are you? Who buried you here?"
"I don't know, I forgot, I have been dead for so many years, and my memory has long been blurred. Young man, you came here for the Sword of Dawn."
"That's right."
Ye Qiong nodded honestly, this was not something worth hiding.
Then, he continued:
"So if you want to pull out the Sword of Dawn, what do you need to do? Do you need to complete the flame spirits of the two torches?"
"This kind of thing is not important at all. If you think it's asymmetrical, I'll complete it for you."
As he said, Ye Qiong heard a crisp snap of fingers, and then the empty torch was lit.
The two torches in the cemetery were lit, but nothing happened. Everything the old man did just now seemed to be just for symmetry.
"So, what do I need to do..."
"The Sword of Dawn is under my tombstone."
Really?
When Ye Qiong heard this, he immediately reached out to lift the tombstone.
At this moment, the old man's voice came again.
"No, young man, you are really a bit too much. How can you directly lift someone's tombstone like this? Aren't you afraid that I will materialize and teach you a lesson?"
Hearing this, Ye Qiong was not embarrassed at all. He smiled and replied:
"My life is like a candle in the wind, so I am a little anxious. Please forgive me, senior."
"But I can't see that you have any fear of death."
The owner of the voice easily judged Ye Qiong's mentality at the moment.
"Who said that, if you can live, who wants to die?"
"That's a coincidence, there is one in front of you."
"Since the senior doesn't want to live, can you..."
"No, everything has a price. If you want the Sword of Dawn, you must pay something."
Hearing this, Ye Qiong couldn't help but sigh.
Sure enough, it is not a simple matter to pull out the Sword of Dawn.
The expression on his face became much more serious, and then he said:
"What does the senior want? From what you said, it doesn't seem like you want to be resurrected. Otherwise, I still have a good status in the current Azure Continent. If the senior has any needs, you can tell me directly."
"If I want, I can come out and get it at any time. Why do I need you to come?"
When the owner of the voice said this, although his tone was flat, anyone could hear the confidence in his words.
The reason why he was lying in the cemetery was not because he was really dead, but simply because he didn't want to live like this.
Such a person must have very demanding requirements.
But even so,
Ye Qiong did not give up easily. He continued:
"Please tell me what your requirements are. If I can do it, I will try my best to achieve it."
"My requirements are very simple. You can do it now."
Ye Qiong frowned.
Can you do it now?
What exactly does this old guy want?
Just when he was confused, suddenly, he saw many things that he was very familiar with floating out near the cemetery.
Cards?
Why are they here?
He did not summon the contract, so the summoner of these cards could only be
"Hey, young man, my requirements are very simple. If you win me in this duel, I will give you the Sword of Dawn. How about this, this requirement is very simple, right?"
Hearing this, Ye Qiong slowly typed a question mark.
How did it go around and around and turned back to the plot of playing cards to save the world?
The Sword of Dawn is related to the future of the entire Azure Continent. You actually use playing cards to decide whether to give it to me?
Isn't this a bit too casual?
"Hey, kid, what's your answer?"
"Okay."
Although it was a bit casual, he was very confident when it came to playing cards.
This old man wanted to use this method to decide the ownership, which saved him a lot of energy. At least he didn't have to fight for life and death like he did with Sodes.
After getting a satisfactory answer, the owner of the voice hummed with satisfaction.
Casually, cards kept floating out of the cemetery. In less than a minute, tens of thousands of cards had gathered here.
Some of these cards that appeared right above the cemetery were very familiar to Ye Qiong, while others were extremely unfamiliar. He had never seen them before.
After a rough look at the effects of those unfamiliar cards, he was surprised to find that the things recorded on them were actually about the First Age.
At this moment, his eyes could not hide the shock.
Long before, he had already doubted the identity of the owner of this cemetery. Now the appearance of the card further confirmed his guess.
This cemetery is very likely to belong to the ancestor giant.
However, according to the origin witch, isn't the ancestor giant's cemetery where the world tree takes root? And the world tree is among the elves. Why does his cemetery appear here?
Just as he was wondering, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"The rules are very simple. We each select 40 cards from the cards above as the main deck cards and 15 cards as the extra deck cards for the duel. As for the initial life value, I won't take advantage of you."
After saying this, a ball of fire appeared right above the cemetery.
This fire is exactly the same as the fire in Ye Qiong's heart.
"Both sides' flames can only burn for 40 minutes. When they are damaged by cards, the remaining time will be reduced according to their combat effectiveness. How about it? This is fair, isn't it?"
It is indeed fair. The owner of the voice also means that he and Ye Qiong are standing on the same starting line.
Ye Qiong nodded slightly, indicating that he has no problem.
"Then, let's start picking cards. First, start with the main deck. Toss a coin to decide who gets to pick the cards first."
"No problem. Please toss the coin."
The opponent's proposed duel method is quite fair so far. He won't cheat on the coin toss.
Besides, there are tens of thousands of cards in the air. It doesn't really matter who goes first or second.
After getting the answer, a coin fell from a height. During this time, the owner of the voice spoke again:
"Heads or tails."
"Heads."
Ding-dong.
With only a crisp sound, the silver coin landed on the ground, facing up, and Ye Qiong got the priority to choose the card.
To be honest, compared to going first, Ye Qiong hoped to get the second hand, so that he would have more time to observe the cards in the air and pick out the strength card.
It's a pity that his luck was not very good. (End of this chapter)
