Chapter 1350: Chapter 1350: A Difficult Choice
The Elf King’s narration left everyone shocked, especially Zi Yu. He never expected that the formation of the Forest of Death would be related to him and his mother.
The moods of the three teenagers were also heavy. Chen Song sincerely asked, "Bearded Grandpa, since the Forest of Death has slowed down, why is it suddenly accelerating its expansion now?"
Zi Yu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he looked at Ye You and Qin Sisi with a face full of astonishnt, wanting to speak but hesitating.
His obvious change in expression was noticed by the Elf King, who also looked suspiciously at Ye You and Qin Sisi, these two outsiders.
Qin Sisi, always sensitive and delicate, naturally realized that Zi Yu was beginning to doubt them and had caught the Elf King’s attention.
She simply got straight to the point and said, "This matter might be related to us."
Everyone turned their heads to look at Qin Sisi and Ye You, their expressions filled with surprise, while the eyes of the three teenagers were brimd with curiosity.
Qin Sisi explained, "It’s like this: I was imprisoned by the Dark Witch in a secret chamber filled with spiders, toads, snakes, and such. I almost didn’t survive. To rescue , my husband burned down the Dark Witch’s Giant Wood Castle. Only later did we learn that the giant wood was her true form."
Most of her words were true; the only lie was that Ye You set fire to the Giant Wood Castle after she escaped. However, to gain the understanding of the Elf King and others, she played the hardship card, knowing that in life-or-death monts, drastic asures are inevitable.
The Elf King’s face showed a mont of realization, and he said, "No wonder, with her true form destroyed, the Dark Witch’s Magic Power would weaken significantly. To rapidly restore her Magic Power, she would surely try to absorb imnse amounts of energy and Spiritual Power from the world, causing the Forest of Death to expand rapidly."
The reason for the rapid expansion of the Forest of Death was finally clear, and Jin Bo and the three teenagers breathed a sigh of relief.
But Zi Yu’s mood remained heavy. He stepped forward and asked, "Bearded Grandpa, do you know of any way to stop the expansion of the Forest of Death?"
The Elf King sighed, replying, "As long as the Dark Witch stops massively absorbing world energy and Spiritual Power, the Forest of Death will stop expanding. However, to restore its vitality, Life Divine Water is likely necessary."
Zi Yu’s expression froze, his heart filled with indescribable pain. To restore Ling Wu to human form and bring life back to the Forest of Death, both require Life Divine Water. On one side is his beloved, and on the other is his mother’s sin and the future of the Dark Forest. How should he choose?
Qin Sisi and Ye You also felt helpless. One competitor already made things difficult, and now there was another. They were anxious about how events would unfold.
Zi Yu pondered for a while and then asked, "Bearded Grandpa, is there any other way?"
If possible, he hoped to both restore Ling Wu to human form and bring vitality back to the Forest of Death.
The Elf King’s eyes flickered, and he remained silent.
Qin Sisi noticed a hint and proactively said, "Great King, now is the critical mont for the Dark Forest. I hope you will speak without reservation."
She also hoped for another way to restore Ling Wu and the Forest of Death, so she would have a better chance to obtain the Life Divine Water and feel less uneasy.
Seeing the Elf King remain silent, Zi Yu earnestly begged once again.
The Elf King sighed deeply, his gaze complex as he looked at Zi Yu and slowly said, "Zi Yu, you should know, the Dark Witch has no husband. You weren’t born normally but were instead a spirit ford by the Dark Witch’s true form, which absorbed massive amounts of the essence of heaven and earth and Plant Spirit Power. Thus, the formation of the Forest of Death also has roots in you."
Zi Yu’s face turned pale. Though he was unwilling to accept this fact, he nodded slightly.
He was always kind and gentle, friendly to every plant, yet he surprisingly beca the root cause of the Forest of Death’s ergence.
The three teenagers exchanged glances, feeling uncomfortable as well. They knew what kind of person Zi Yu was, always considering him their best friend, the kindest big brother.
The Elf King watched Zi Yu’s expression, feeling compassion but still insisted on finishing his words: "Your body contains the purest essence of heaven and earth and Plant Spirit Power. If you are willing to sacrifice yourself, dispersing your internal essence and power to nourish the Forest of Death, it could be restored."
Zi Yu’s expression was one of shock, staring blankly at the bearded Elf King without speaking for a long ti.
Qin Sisi also felt deeply compassionate. Though Zi Yu was the root cause of the Forest of Death’s creation, he knew nothing about it, and should not bear this responsibility.
While they were speaking, the Forest of Death had expanded more than ten ters forward, almost reaching their vicinity.
Ling Song embraced his shoulders with his arms and shouted, "So cold! Why did it suddenly beco so cold?"
Yu Nan touched his smooth face and also shouted, "So dry! I feel the moisture in my body is draining away."
The Elf King sensed danger and quickly shouted for caution: "Quick, retreat backward."
The group imdiately turned and headed towards the Dark Forest, running for about a hundred ters before stopping, feeling sowhat better.
"Bearded Grandpa, I feel very weak." Yu Nan whispered, his originally sparkling eyes now dulled.
"Bearded Grandpa, I’m so tired!" The youngest, Ling Song, also hung his head.
" too." Jun Feng’s voice was weak.
The Elf King said solemnly, "The environnt of the Forest of Death is extrely harsh. Whenever it encounters fresh plants, it crazily absorbs the Spirit Power and moisture from their bodies. Your Magic Power is too low; you must have been affected just now. Jin Bo, quickly take them back into their true forms and let them rest for a while."
Saying this, he raised his long arm and released a green magical power, enveloping the three teenagers and alleviating so of their injuries.
"Understood." Jin Bo knew ti was of the essence and quickly led the three teenagers flying towards the Dark Forest.
Zi Yu watched their figures disappear into the distance, filled with worry and self-bla. He saw firsthand the terror of the Forest of Death and wished no more plant elves would be hard.
He bit his lip and said resolutely, "I will go to my mother to ask for the Life Divine Water."
With that, he turned and flew towards the direction of the Giant Wood Castle.
"Let’s go take a look too!" Qin Sisi softly said to Ye You.
Ye You nodded, gently patting Qin Sisi’s back to let her get comfortable on his shoulders, then flapped his magic wings, soaring into the sky to follow Zi Yu.
