Chapter 424: Helpless Farewell



Listening to what she said, it seemed as if she had figured out the situation. It really opened my eyes. After all, in my opinion, these pictures and texts don't make any sense. There is no pattern at all. They are just a bunch of scribbles. I don't know what the flower-scented girl relied on to accomplish this.

But what I can understand is that we really don't have much time now. The full moon night is about to come. According to the time, we have been busy for so long, it should be four or five o'clock in the morning, and it will be bright and early morning soon. And if we calculate the time of this day, the time we can continue to act is only eleven or twelve hours at most from now to tonight's evening. In addition, we have not slept all night and may need to rest. There is really not much that can be used during this time.

In this sense, it is indeed difficult given the tight time constraints, and all our things should be done urgently.

"You're right. Time is indeed running out, but I don't know what you mean. How can we deal with the prisoner? Is it very troublesome? Do we have to rebuild a temple according to the formation above, lure him in and subdue him? Is that right?" I asked.

"Yes, that's true. But in this case, I have to stay here and keep the entire temple in its restored state. I also have to find the missing parts. If I can't find them, I have to find a way to use other stones to try to draw patterns and fill in the missing parts. In this way, when the tower is restored, all the binding forces will be effective again, and the prisoners will surely not be able to escape. This is exactly what the patterns carved on the door mean." said Miss Huaxiang.

I looked at it again, and now I seem to understand the meaning. It turns out that the women carved on it, holding leaves or flowers or something like that, are just an image, representing a certain god exerting force, just personified. And look at each woman's sitting posture, expression, movement, and appearance are all the same, there is basically no difference, in fact it's like the effect of some kind of comic strip.

It just represents the changes of the action frame by frame.

Flowers, leaves, swords, vines, soil, willow branches, wind, these may represent the power of nature used to suppress the prisoner, and are expressed in the form of women's hands. Simply put, they are some kind of artistic expression of the magical powers of this original pagoda temple.

It can be seen that restoring the temple is a crucial step in dealing with the evil dragon, but the patterns here are missing, and there are few and far between. After all, it has experienced a big explosion, and a lot of dust must have been blown into ashes. Since it has all been blown into ashes, it is definitely impossible to find it back. We can only rely on our own imagination and inference to draw the original shape of the pattern, and we also have to tamper with the stone to make it look like a gap, and put it back tightly so as not to affect the combination of the pattern.

This is a huge project that tests not only your eyesight but also your spatial imagination. The biggest challenge is your own patience and ingenuity.

"But if we stay there, time will run out. The prisoner may return halfway, or the big guy outside may come in and cause trouble. Besides, even if those lizardmen want to launch a sneak attack on us, we won't be able to calm down and do these things. Are you sure this is the only way?" I asked.

"So, Lord City Lord, we must now split our forces into two groups. I will stay here and complete the work of repairing the tower and temple as soon as possible, and you need to go back to the post station to help delay the evil dragon and don't let it come back. As for Shi Ke, I think unless the evil dragon returns, it will only think that its master is here and will not dare to come. With Shi Ke blocking the door, those lizardmen will not dare to come in either. In this way, I should be safe here." said Miss Huaxiang.

Her analysis does make sense, but there are too many unexpected events. Besides, I am not at ease leaving her alone in such a place. She does have some magical powers that can make objects float and can forcibly combine objects together temporarily according to her will to restore the temple. However, she vomited blood when Shi Ke swung his hammer before, which shows that she is just an ordinary creature and there is nothing special about her.

However, we don't have many choices now, because once the full moon night comes, these lizardmen will be able to break through the constraints of the Dragon Prison Tree and go out, then it will be too late. In the past, the lizardmen would at most kill some living things and bring them back, but this time their master is outside, so the situation is completely different.

And when we came here before, we saw so many lizardmen gathered at the edge. It was obvious that they were attracted by the prisoner. I guess they had some special plan.

Once tonight is over, the lizardmen would have returned to this place on their own initiative, because they need to rely on the breath of the evil dragon to survive. However, the current situation is that the imprisoned evil dragon is already outside. Therefore, once they go out tonight, they don't need to come back, and they will not be bound by the dragon-imprisoning trees. This is equivalent to releasing all the little prisoners. The situation is so bad that it is unimaginable.

Therefore, what we have to do before tonight is of vital importance. We have to complete all the deployments quickly now, otherwise the evil dragon will rise up and this island will be littered with corpses, just like the road of bones when we came here, full of corpses. Not to mention those innocent creatures and animals, I'm afraid that the hyena people and all of us will have to go through this terrible ordeal.

Not to mention the distant consequences, once the evil dragon gains power, Yunwen will be the first to get into trouble, because the evil dragon wants to possess her, and Yunwen has previously expressed that she will never obey, so this may lead to her death. With this deduction, I have very few choices.

Therefore, even though I don't have the heart to do this, I can only follow this advice and split my forces into two groups, one to delay and the other to find a way to repair the temple here. There is no other way.

"Okay, although I'm sorry to ask you to make so many sacrifices for us, but so far, your suggestion is the only thing we can do now. Then I will listen to you, but I hope you will be safe." I said.

She nodded at me and walked towards me, wanting to say something but stopping herself. In the end, she didn't say anything. She was a little frustrated and could only utter a few words in the end.

"I will, thank you, Lord Mayor." said Miss Huaxiang.

She looked a little shy, and I don't know if I was seeing things, but the look in her brows was actually full of affection. However, it was fleeting and she immediately turned her face away, fearing that I had seen too much.

I don't know if it was a misunderstanding on my part, but she had helped me so much and worked so diligently, and it would not be nice for me to just leave like that, so I moved forward and hugged her gently. She shuddered and coughed, but she actually raised her hands and hugged my waist, but her movements were awkward and she was obviously still shy.

After hugging for a while, I asked, "By the way, what's your name?"

She shook her head and said, "My name is not worth remembering. Go quickly, or the evil dragon will come."

Then she quietly pushed me away, her movements were gentle and somewhat reluctant. I looked at her delicate appearance and was a little dazed for a moment. This face was really beautiful. At this moment, with a slightly smiling expression, it was even more beautiful. Her hand loosened from my waist, and I sighed and said, "Then I wish Miss Huaxiang and I both survive and succeed."

Seeing her reluctant look, I mounted the horse and looked back at her. She was still smiling as brightly as a flower, truly as beautiful as a flower.

"Call me Yue'er." She said before leaving.

"Okay, Yue'er." I muttered.

After waving my hand, I rode forward and quickly rushed out. The way out was much easier than the way in. The Shi Ke treated us as its own people, so when we went out, it followed closely beside us. When it went out, those lizardmen could only retreat and did not dare to stop me.

After coming out from the center of the prison, I quickly crossed the edge, rushed outside, passed the dragon-prisoning tree, and began to run in the woods. However, after experiencing the speed of flying in the air, running on land now feels a lot slower.

"It's a pity. At this speed, I don't know if it will be too late to go back. I just hope Yunwen and the others are fine and can wait for me to rescue her." I said.

And just at this moment, I suddenly felt that Sanfu's pace was getting faster, and just at this moment, it leaped up, with both feet in the air...
