Chapter 159 Before the Crisis
When Jiang Jiu opened her eyes, she felt as if she was in a void of space. There seemed to be many things surrounding her, roaring and exuding desire.
Her mind gradually became clear, and she quickly sat up and looked at the shadow beside her.
A figure that is familiar yet strange, and looks exactly like her own.
Jiang Jiu suddenly realized that she seemed to be dreaming about things in the past recently. Could this be something that had happened to her in the past?
She was thinking about it when she suddenly felt a slap on her head.
“!”
It was a heavy slap, but I didn't feel much pain. However, my mind was suddenly confused. I turned around and saw "myself" with a look of disappointment on his face, still mumbling to himself.
"You were such a fool before, what are you going to do in the future?"
There was a complaint in her tone, which made Jiang Jiu's eyes look confused.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Jiu no longer thinks this is her 'self'. She would never show such an expression, as if it were a completely different personality from her.
"Me? I'm the one you tried so hard to save."
'She' curled her lips, seeming to be disdainful of this description, and changed the subject.
"What are you going to do now? Even they might not be able to deal with so many Time Worms. I really don't know what they do for a living. They can also let you be discovered."
Girls like her were still complaining, with sinister expressions, looking as if they wanted to eat someone.
"have no idea...."
Jiang Jiu shook his head blankly.
"Forget it, it turns out I have to take action."
Finally, 'she' waved her hand, not taking Jiang Jiu's answer seriously, and began to frantically shoot down the insects surrounding her in the sky like a killing god. It seemed that her efficiency was even higher than Xiao Nianzhong's, because Xiao Nianzhong seemed to have a hard time repelling one by one, but 'she' could kill them one after another.
Jiang Jiu stared at her back in a daze. He didn't know how much time had passed. Finally, Jiang Jiu heard a voice coming from behind him.
"Tree spirit!"
Chi Li's gritted teeth shouting pierced through the air, and Jiang Jiu realized belatedly that it seemed like she had had this dream before, as if at that time... it was also Chi Li and this shadow that looked very much like her.
But what does it mean to call 'her' a tree spirit?
Jiang Jiu's head was full of questions.
"Come and help if you have nothing to do. If it weren't for me, she would have been eaten up long ago. Don't be idle and look for trouble."
'She' was not polite and directly confronted Chi Li. The air fell into silence and Jiang Jiu had no idea what was going on.
"You really are, I knew you were a thief."
Although Chi Li was also very angry, he still joined the battle and began to fight against the Time Worm. Xiao Nianzhong also quickly appeared beside Jiang Jiu and checked her carefully. He only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was fine.
"Who is still harboring evil intentions? It's obviously you."
"She" sneered, and under the siege of the Time Worm, she bounced away in an instant and faced it again, without any sign of exhaustion.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Nianzhong was still beside Jiang Jiu. He closed his eyes when he heard this and couldn't help but retort.
"They are all a bunch of selfish bastards!"
'Her' tone became irritable, and Jiang Jiu felt inexplicably guilty. She had no idea what was going on, but it seemed that the tree spirit didn't have a good relationship with the men?
They quarrel whenever they meet, which doesn't mean they have a very good relationship.
"Whether she's selfish or not, we've given her enough choices. It's not your turn to judge."
Chi Li's voice was slightly cold.
"If you're trying to take ginger beer your way, we won't allow it."
Xiao Nianzhong continued, his tone full of strong vigilance.
Ever since they entered the long river of time, no one knew what means the tree spirit of the original sacred tree had used to actually be able to link and locate Jiang Jiu's position. Although she could not appear directly in front of Jiang Jiu in a physical form, she could appear in Jiang Jiu's dream through dream projection.
This wasn't the first time 'she' had connected to Ginger Wine, but in their opinion it was definitely not with good intentions.
"Humph, it all depends on your ability. Your methods are pale, and there are such serious consequences. How dare you let her bear it alone!"
The tree spirit refused to give in and retorted.
The space was in a mess, but Jiang Jiu had probably figured out what had happened. If she guessed correctly, the tree spirit seemed to want to save her, but for this group of men, it was equivalent to snatching people from them, which was why they were so confrontational.
"Oh? Do you have any ideas?"
Chi Li didn't believe in this tree spirit who couldn't even save herself and had to rely on ginger wine for salvation. 'She' was definitely not as reliable as the world consciousness on Earth. He didn't trust 'her' at all, but he wouldn't say it directly. Instead, he used a sarcastic tone to let the tree spirit face reality.
"Hmph, she saved me before, and now we are of the same origin. Instead of letting her become a soul that will never dissipate and is frozen in time, why not let her be like me..."
The tree spirit was still talking proudly, not noticing that the other two had turned completely black in the face.
There is no benefit at all in becoming the tree spirit of the Origin Sacred Tree. It will kill a life every once in a while. It used to be Jiang Jiu, but it will be someone else in the future. This is not a good plan at all, and Jiang Jiu will definitely not be happy about it.
"Shut up!"
Chi Li simply interrupted her, not wanting the tree spirit to have such unrealistic fantasies anymore.
Not to mention how difficult the plan is to implement, whether it is really possible to transform a residual image of ginger wine into a tree spirit, even if it is successful, it may not be a good thing.
Now, just as the ginger wine was sacrificed, the vitality of the world has returned to its peak, but if one day...
The world consciousness of the cultivation world will certainly find ways to prolong the life of the Origin Divine Tree, so there is not much difference between ginger wine and eternal life.
The tragedy will happen again, and Jiangjiu will never want that.
“Tsk.”
The tree spirit was displeased at being interrupted, but with the efforts of the three, the Time Worm had been almost completely cleared, and Jiang Jiu was finally out of danger. Xiao Nianzhong and Chi Li surrounded Jiang Jiu cautiously, worried that the tree spirit would make a private decision and do something irreversible.
"Hmph, I won't do that without her consent..."
'She' was speechless, but still explained patiently.
The tense atmosphere in the air eased, and Jiang Jiu also felt a little curious. Although her memory was recovering, she had not yet remembered it completely. She was very curious about the identity of the tree spirit, but seeing their heated discussion, she could only listen obediently from the side.
"The Time Worm is such a nuisance."
Xiao Nianzhong frowned. If the discovery had not been made in time and the tree spirit had not appeared to protect him, the ginger wine would have been eaten.
