The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Jiang Liujing really didn't know.

He was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Chi, seeking the advice of the person he trusted most here.

Chi also frowned. He was sure that Jiang Liujing had not been cursed since he and Jiang Liujing signed a contract. If there was any curse, it must have happened when he was younger.

But when he and Jiang Liujing signed the contract, Jiang Liujing was only eight years old. Who would do such a cruel thing to such a young child?

His face darkened slightly as he asked the Great Elder, "You said 'cursed'. Does that mean the curse has been removed?"

The great elder nodded.

In fact, the remaining traces of the curse were already very faint and inconspicuous, showing that it had been cleared many years ago. In a few more years, it would probably disappear completely. If he hadn't lived for thousands of years, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it.

Jiang Liujing and Chi looked at each other and already had a guess in their minds.

But Jiang Liujing still had doubts in his heart. The people who could solve such a problem for him must be Xing Yue and Sang Mo. But why didn't Xing Yue tell him?

Perhaps this question can only be answered by meeting Xing Yue himself.

Jiang Liujing originally thought that the Great Elder brought him and Chi here, and the mother tree must have something to ask Chi, but afterwards the mother tree was as quiet as if it was just a big tree, without making any sound.

Jiang Liujing was puzzled, but Chi looked at the mother tree for a few seconds and suddenly said, "Let's go."

"Let's find the source of life first," he said.

They returned to where they came from and reunited with several other people. Sensing the changes in Jiang Liujing's magic power, they all showed a unified "OoO" expression on their faces.

Mo Ya was in disbelief, clutching his chest in grief: "Xiao Jing, we've only been apart for a few hours, and you've already changed so much."

Jiang Liujing's mouth twitched: "...Is this how the word is used?"

Mo Ya stared at him dimly: "Then tell me, who would disappear for a whole morning and come back to break through a level directly?"

The Great Elder suddenly said, "You don't have to be envious of this. The Mother Tree has promised to give you a chance to bless her."

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Liujing, feeling somewhat numb in his heart. He had no idea what kind of magic potion this human had given the mother tree, making it so generous in giving out all the benefits.

Mo Ya cheered and asked excitedly.

"What blessing? Is it the same blessing as in the Divine Religion? Can the elves do something like that?"

"That's different." The Great Elder shook his head. "Our Mother Tree uses the Blessing of Life, which you can think of as a special spell that only it can use. The Divine Cult's blessing relies on the effects of their holy water. What you outsiders use is a substandard product that has been diluted countless times. High-quality holy water is only available to those with connections to the Divine Cult."

"But the final results are similar." The elder pondered.

Both can quickly increase strength.

After a brief chat, he led everyone to a lake inside the elf territory.

Elves are a highly clean race, and the waters used by elves are purer than those in other places.

Everyone was actually mentally prepared, but when they saw the mirror-like clear water surface, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

This lake looks extremely clean, but unlike the pool of water that Jiang Liujing had experienced, the cleanliness here is full of vitality.

Countless luminous plants grow at the bottom of the lake, and colorful fish swim through the swaying, slender blades of grass, casting ever-changing light and shadows on the lake bottom covered with white sand and gravel.

The Great Elder said that this lake is actually very deep, but because it is so clear that you can see the bottom at a glance, it often gives people the illusion that it is very shallow.

"The mother tree has emitted power to summon the source of life back." He closed his eyes and quietly felt the subtle fluctuations in the air, stroking his beard and speaking.

"I don't know where you got this information, but the source of life is indeed formed from the fruit that fell from the Mother Tree. Even if a child travels far and wide, when they hear their mother's call, they will rush home. To find the source of life, there is indeed nothing more effective than the call of the Mother Tree."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw ripples suddenly appear on the calm lake surface. A whirlpool slowly formed in the center, and a column of water suddenly shot up into the sky.

At the same time, everyone felt an extremely powerful magical force that suddenly lifted their spirits, and they instantly focused their attention and looked into the lake.

After reaching its maximum height, the water column slowly dispersed in all directions, like a flower basket overflowing with water. In the center of the flower basket, a faint light inconspicuously emerged.

The moment it appeared, the surrounding trees began to grow wildly.

The withered yellow turns to deep green, and life replaces death.

"Such a powerful vitality," Andway said, his voice filled with wonder. They had only heard rumors about the Source of Life before, but this was the first time they had personally experienced its true power.

He suddenly asked, "If Taichi's body were taken out at this time, would it be possible for him to be repaired?"

While they were waiting, they had already collected Taichi's body and put it in a space ring, ready to take it back to his brother, as a token of their friendship as a team.

The Great Elder shook his head. "If he had died recently, there might have been a chance. But unfortunately, his true death must have been several months ago, and the remaining soul in his body has dissipated just now. He is now just a corpse. If you want him to die gracefully, you can bring him here and repair his limbs."

"Forget it, I don't have the habit of beautifying corpses." Andway looked at the ball of light with some regret.

When he met Taichi this time, he thought that they were old classmates who were destined to team up together, but he didn't expect it to be a farewell between life and death.

But it’s not that sad, after all, people are dying in the world all the time.

Ordinary people, nobles, geniuses...all are equal only in the face of death. It is unpredictable who will die in the next moment.

Vita looked at Jiang Liujing and asked, "Shall I go and get it directly?"

Jiang Liujing didn't know what to do, but his intuition made him shake his head and stop Vita: "Wait."

He remembered what Sang Mo said, that the source of life had already had its own thoughts, and it would only appear if it wanted to.

By the same token, they can only catch it if it is willing to be caught.
