Chapter 394: Selecting Personnel
Next, Christine discussed the matter of the 'Fountain of Life and Death' with Mengli Luoqiu.
Time is running out. If the Fountain of Life and Death cannot be obtained in a short period of time, the two elders of the Wood Clan and the Star Clan will surely die.
“The two elders can only hold on for two to three years at most. We don’t have much time left.” Christine said.
"Two or three years? You are too optimistic." Luo Qiu shook his head and said, "Without external intervention, their vitality will be completely gone within half a year."
Possessing the 'Eye of Living Things', Luo Qiu's judgment is much more accurate than Moria's.
"Half a year!" Christine and Moriah's faces changed. The elves have special sensing abilities, and with their strength, there shouldn't be such a big deviation.
There is only one possibility, that the two elders are deliberately concealing their own situation.
Christine felt a little distressed. The elders tried their best to prevent her from worrying.
"We can't find many people in half a year. I screened them last night, and the most suitable candidate is Katniss." Moria said.
"Kainis?" Meng Li felt unfamiliar with this name.
"Descendants of Caesar." said Christine.
"Caesar?" Meng Li was in a trance for a moment, and a man with blond hair and a resolute face appeared in his mind.
The Golden Lion King Caesar was a pursuer of the previous True Ancestor. Upon hearing that Dana died at the hands of Barbatos, he flew into a rage and went to challenge Barbatos alone. However, he was defeated and rescued by Victora. In the final battle, Caesar used forbidden techniques to severely injure Barbatos at the cost of his own death, creating an opportunity for Mengli and the others.
"Kayneth came to visit me in Elven Country and asked about the baptism of the holy tree. It seems that his parents are also about to die." Christine told what she knew.
"Kainnis hoped to obtain the essence of the Tree of Life from the elves to baptize his parents and prolong their lives. Unfortunately, all the essence of the Tree of Life is now used to breed new elves. Even our elders cannot use it, let alone give it to outsiders."
"What a filial son." Luo Qiu sighed.
"If Katniss knew about the 'Fountain of Life and Death', he would definitely be tempted. He is quite powerful, not much different from Caesar back then." Christine analyzed.
"Well, the bloodline of the Golden Lion Clan is special. The Golden Lion King of each generation can occupy one of the strongest ranks. It is indeed a good helper." Meng Li nodded, counting on his fingers and said, "But it's still a little short. You, me, and that Katniss are only three people. It's not safe."
According to Luo Qiu's description, Meng Li already regarded the three-headed evil dragon as a monster at least at the same level as the evil god Zog, or even stronger, so this amount of manpower was totally insufficient.
"I can go too." Moriya said, "My strength has been restored. Although it's still a little short of the sequence, I should be able to help a little."
"No." Christine and Mengli said in unison.
"Your physical condition is still in the aging stage, and you can't go to the battlefield." Meng Li said to Mollya very seriously: "You can't bear the combat pressure at our level at present."
Christine also said: "After I leave, someone will need to stay in the Elf Village. Do you think you can leave it to someone else?"
"This..." Moria hesitated.
Indeed, if Christine leaves, then Elfland will need someone to take charge.
With a light sigh, Moria said nothing more. Judging from the current situation in the Elf Country, she was indeed the most suitable one to stay.
"Count Victora in mind, I have a way to convince it." Meng Li said.
"Space Dragon King?" Christine nodded slightly: "He is indeed a strong ally." Victora, who was far away in the 'Jueyan Cave', sneezed in his sleep.
Suddenly, Meng Li smiled and said, "Vampire Progenitor, Elf Queen, Golden Lion King, Space Dragon King. Is this another battle to defeat the leaders?"
“It seems so.” Christine also smiled.
"Let me think, who else can help..."
The Vampire Progenitor and the Elf Queen frowned, as it was difficult to think of suitable candidates. After all, there were not many strong people at their level. Those they were familiar with back then either died in battle or died of old age, and they were not familiar with the new generation either.
According to Luo Qiu, the three-headed evil dragon is even stronger than Barbatos, which means it is at least a terrifying existence comparable to a god. With such a small number of people, it is difficult for them to even protect themselves, let alone extract spring water.
Fortunately, they don’t need to worry about the most terrifying Nether Bone Dragon Knight, otherwise they would just give up.
According to Mengli's plan, at least six sequence strong men must be gathered before they can go and explore.
The difficulty is indeed extremely high, after all, there are only ten strongest sequences.
"If it doesn't work, I'll go to the Ten Thousand Year Snow Region and ask the Snow Dragon King for help. One of him can take on several enemies." Christine said after a moment's hesitation.
First in sequence, the Cangxue Dragon King!
In terms of strength, he is indeed extremely powerful and is in a class of his own among the strong ones in the sequence.
"Invite that Ice Debris?" Meng Li knocked on the stone table and said, "It was very arrogant back then. It kept persuading a man to go to Barbatos to fight. As a result, it was ambushed by those two guys not long after the fight. It almost died there. It was Victora who saved it."
"If it had participated in the end, the result might have been very different." Meng Li's tone was a little cold.
That’s right, in the last battle that year, Mengli and others had joined forces to suppress Barbatos, but at the last moment, Barbatos’ demon bloodline temporarily erupted, causing the Golden Lion King to fight desperately, and the Black and White Dragon King also sacrificed.
If the Snow Dragon King had been present at the time, perhaps there wouldn't have been so many sacrifices.
“It’s felt really bad these years, and it didn’t even go back to Dragon Island. It froze itself in the snow for thousands of years and has never left.” Christine also sighed.
Luo Qiu found it slightly funny after hearing this. There are always stupid teammates no matter where you are. The strongest fighting force could be wasted like this. This also solved one of his doubts.
"The Snow Dragon King owes my elves a favor. I should be able to ask him for help." Christine said.
"Then let's count it as one." Meng Li was a little reluctant, but considering the reality, he nodded and said, "I'll go with you to see it. I don't know if its injuries have healed after so many years, and whether it has made much progress."
"Okay." Christine nodded happily.
If we say that the strength of the Cangxue Dragon King was unique among the sequence strongmen a thousand years ago, today, a thousand years later, both Christine and Mengli have undergone great transformation, and may be no weaker than it.
If the Cangxue Dragon King still goes his own way like he did a thousand years ago, then we will settle all the new and old grudges and give him a beating first.
"When do we set off?" Meng Li asked.
"It won't be too late, the sooner the better."
