Chapter 40: The Glory of Life
"In the distant past, buried by the ages, Mother Nature bestowed upon her most beloved children, the elves, a precious gift - long life. She taught them unique magic of life: 'If someone dies for an elf, you can grant him the glory of life.'"
A faint female voice echoed in the forest, and the fairy girl's body slowly stood up, with a holy and joyful glow on her face. The surging magical elements gathered around her, transforming into colorful clouds that gently wrapped around her.
The wind has stopped.
The tree is quiet.
Time seemed to have stopped as well.
Everyone in the scene had their movements suddenly frozen.
"Years went by, and the elves saw human conspiracy, war, and slaughter. Throughout their lives, the elves felt human coldness, cruelty, and cunning. From then on, life magic became a taboo for the elven tribe."
The ethereal female voice gradually became clear and moving, and the body of the elf girl emitted waves of white light. The clouds wrapped around her merged with the white light to form a colorful glow, which shot straight into the sky and slowly gathered in the air to form a rainbow.
Liu Yun looked at the singing spirit girl and suddenly felt a strong sense of unease in her heart.
After the rainbow in the sky was formed, the girl suddenly raised her head, looked at the rainbow in the sky, and raised her hands high. Two powerful white lights shot directly into the center of the rainbow.
"Elf girl XiaoXiao, willing to sacrifice the long life of an elf, open the forbidden door, pray for the arrival of a miracle - Sacrifice the glory of life!"
After absorbing the two white lights, the rainbow suddenly brightened and converged into a vibrant, floating white light sphere. Under the girl's guidance, it fell straight from the air onto the young man's body. Then, the spirit girl collapsed onto his body.
The moment the girl fell down, Liú Yún discovered that she could move again. Lǎo Kǎ also walked over from a distance and whispered in his ear: "Everyone is in the forest."
The blood man standing in front of the elf girl and young man turned around to look at the sudden uninvited guest.
"Liúyún Gōngzǐ!" Lei Luo exclaimed in surprise.
"Uncle Lei!" Liuyun looked carefully and also called out loudly, hastily walking forward.
Who would have thought that the pursuit and kill mission, which was nearing its end, suddenly turned into a magic show and a reunion scene.
Iverson and Walker rushed over, ready to help the young man and the elf girl who were on the ground.
"Don't touch him, there's poison in his blood!" Lei Luo hastily shouted, while avoiding Liu Yun's outstretched hand.
"Round them all up, don't let a single one escape!"
With a wave of his hand, more than ten blood-robed men quickly surrounded Liu Yun and his group.
"Beware, their swords and blood-soaked clothes are poisonous."
"It's really disgusting, you're all bloody before you're even dead." Liú Yún suddenly said, looking up and sizing up the group.
Lao Ka threw healing spells at Leilo while laughing and saying: "Yes, being covered in blood is unlucky, unlucky!"
"That person, are you the leader? Explain clearly why you're chasing them to death, and I'll let you off." Liú Yún pointed at Fān Shíliù with a hand, saying lightly.
"Your Excellency, I'm afraid you don't understand the situation?" A triumphant smile spread across Ben Sixteen's ugly face as his eyes involuntarily swept over his dozen or so subordinates.
"Is it better than human?" Flowing Clouds smiled slyly and snapped his fingers.
A burst of flame shot up from Old Card's hand, and two hundred students quickly formed a queue behind Flowing Cloud. Iverson handed the elf girl to Little Card, then stood guard beside Walker on either side of Flowing Cloud.
"Sir, they might belong to some evil organization, can't let them go. I'll tell you the details later." Lei Luo walked closer and whispered in Liu Yun's ear.
Liu Yun nodded. From the moment he saw these blood-clothed people, he felt that they were very evil. All sorts of signs indicated that this group should belong to some kind of evil force.
"Kill! Spare none except the leader!" Flowing Cloud waved his hand.
Dozens of lightning bolts struck down without warning, and several people in red robes fell to the ground. After another flash of lightning, all the people in red robes lay elegantly on the ground.
In a flash of light, a phoenix flew towards Fan Shiliu's crotch.
Shui Han led a team of people, quickly rushing to the blood-soaked figures on the ground. The dagger's cold light flashed, harvesting lives with abandon, and the necks of the blood-soaked figures lying on the ground all bore a deep knife wound.
Her eyes bulged like bronze bells, staring blankly at the scene in front of her.
"I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming!" he muttered to himself.
However, the sudden heat and pain from his lower body, along with a wave of dizziness, made him realize he wasn't dreaming.
Lowering one's head to take a look, a firebird was making an effort to push its head into the bird's nest.
"Ah!" A miserable cry, and the sixteenth retreated in succession. The firebird seemed very dissatisfied with the nest flying away, and chased after him desperately.
When the Firebird disappeared, several long swords were already placed on his neck.
When Shi Yan woke up, the battle had already ended.
When Lelouch told him what had just happened, the battered Suzaku struggled to use his uninjured hand to gently stroke the face of the spirit girl again and again, bursting into tears. The spirit girl was lifeless, lying quietly on the ground with a happy and peaceful smile still on her face.
Although the battle ended easily, Liú Yún found that the situation was still very grim. Léi Luó's injury and the young man named Shì Yán's injury were both extremely severe.
The most troublesome thing is that their injuries are ineffective in treating with magic. And the elf girl who won everyone's respect has already died.
"Head, he didn't say anything." Shui Han led people to push Fan Shi Liu over.
At this time, Ben Sixteen was already covered in scars all over his body, and the clothes on his body had been stripped off, leaving only a pair of tattered shorts.
"Damn it, I'll let you wear bloody clothes, take off your light and show me that dog day. Leave something to cover your shame, I don't believe you dare to wipe poison on your underwear." Shui Han said as he directed people to undress him.
"What about this poison? Is there a way to cure it?" Liuxing looked at him and asked coldly.
"I don't know either." Fan Shiliu stared blankly at the flowing clouds, "This kind of blood poison, I've never heard of a way to get rid of it."
All along, he thought he was a very scary person, but unexpectedly, he met someone even scarier than him. In the short while it took to deal with the corpse, he had already been tortured by Shui Han with seven or eight kinds of cruel punishments.
Liú yún huī shǒu ràng shuǐ hán bǎ fān shí liù yā le xià qù. Tā zhī dào zhè zhǒng xié è shì lì yī dìng yǒu kòng zhì chéng yuán xiè lòu mì mì de tè bié bànfǎ, cǐ shí wèn le yě shì bái wèn.
"Uncle Lei, what should we do now?" Liuyun also became disoriented for a moment.
"The fairy girl once said that when we reach the Fairy Forest, we will be saved." Lei Luo thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if she was just talking casually or if there really is salvation in the Fairy Forest."
"Even if I were to return to the Windy City, it's not certain that I could save them. In that case, let's take a risk and try going to the Spirit Forest, and at the same time, let that respectable girl's soul return to her hometown." Liú Yún thought to herself.
Soon, the students had tied up a stretcher and lifted the sprite girl onto it. Some students also picked up handfuls of wildflowers and placed them on the girl's body.
Liú yún juédìng, ràng suǒyǒu xué yuán xiàng nǚ háizi zuì hòu gào bié.
Translation:
The flowing cloud decided to let all the students say their final goodbyes to the girl.
Two hundred students stood in front of the elf girl and saluted her solemnly. These men who had never shed a tear in Beast Camp finally left their tears on the land in front of the girl.
Liuyun and others also stood beside the girl, silently bowing their heads.
"May your soul rest in peace, great spirit girl!" Flowing Clouds prayed for her once again in his heart.
After a brief discussion, Liú Yún decided to take Lǎo Kǎ and four old team members to escort Léi Luó and Shì Yán, carrying Xiǎo Xiǎo into the Spirit Forest, while Aí Fú Sēn and Xiǎo Kǎ stayed behind to organize the disciples for further training.
Finally, it's time to solve problem sixteen.
Looking at the tortured and humiliated Fan Shiliu, who was only wearing a pair of shorts, Liu Yun smiled. Everyone felt that Liu Yun's smile was exceptionally evil, more chilling than any of his previous wicked smiles.
Poor Ben 16, what kind of fate awaits him?
