Chapter 1277: The Peculiarity In The Pure Spirit Tower (2)

Xiu maintained the barrier so Shen Yanxiao could not step out. Otherwise, she would immediately feel the intense pain.

Just as she was about to head to the central position with Xiu, he suddenly lifted her up.

Shen Yanxiao gasped and looked at Xiu’s jaw in surprise.

“I am unable to maintain a large barrier to prevent you from accidentally walking out. It is safer this way.” There was no expression on Xiu’s face. Everything he did was for the sake of her safety.

Shen Yanxiao moved her lips but said nothing. She merely nodded silently.

His cold arms wrapped around her tightly and her entire body was pressed against his cold chest. However, her face could not help but heat up.

Xiu’s footsteps were very fast. Passing through the fog, they soon arrived at the center.

It was as if a huge tree had been blocked by the floor and the ceiling, leaving only a section of the tree.

The tender green leaves on the tree branches were very beautiful.

Xiu’s gaze stopped on those leaves.

Shen Yanxiao asked, “Is there a problem with these leaves?” Xiu’s focused gaze made her wonder.

“Take a closer look at these leaves. Is there something wrong with their stem?” Xiu held Shen Yanxiao with one hand and reached out to push aside a leaf, revealing a thin leaf.

Shen Yanxiao took a closer look. The color of those leaves was very similar to the color of the leaves.

However…

“The color of the stem is much darker than the color of the leaves.” Shen Yanxiao said.

Xiu nodded.

“No matter how powerful the life force is, it will not cause unbearable pain for elves. Previously on the first floor of the Pure Spirit Tower, even though those elves could not absorb a large amount of life force in a short period of time, they did not feel pain from the very beginning. Moreover, their discomfort stemmed from the oppression of the source of life and not from the pain of their nerves. This is completely different from your situation.” Xiu analyzed the oddness of this place. Regardless of the situation, Shen Yanxiao’s reaction just now was very strange based on how life force usually worked.

“Do you remember what Elder Yue told you about the pollution of elves?” Xiu looked down at Shen Yanxiao, his golden eyes reflecting that delicate and pretty face.

“Are you saying that the strange situation here is due to… pollution?” Shen Yanxiao’s voice was filled with shock.

“I’m not sure, but it’s very likely.” Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, “Your situation is different from other elves because you can absorb life force in large quantities. If pollution is mixed with life force, then with the absorption speed of ordinary elves, I’m afraid it would be hard for them to have the same reaction as you. Only at your absorption speed would it cause such intense pain.”

This was similar to a slow-acting poison. Drinking a little every day would not cause anyone to notice anything amiss. However, if they were to suddenly drink a full cup one day, then the discomfort would immediately appear.

That was the comparison of Shen Yanxiao’s absorption of life force with the other elves.

“How could this be…” Shen Yanxiao’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

The pollution that brought about destruction to the elves was mixed with life force?

It had to be known that from birth to death, what elves could never leave behind was the power of life. They were absorbing the power from the Tree of Life almost every second!
