"The Eye of Truth?"

Is this left eye called the pupil of truth?

Jiang Chen looked at Youina's eyes. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere, or had he heard similar names?

But I couldn't remember it for the moment.

"Yes, but you have to pass the guardian trial first."

Youina nodded, looked forward, and said, "The place ahead is where I live."

Immediately, she stepped forward.

Jiang Chen saw that there was a high slope in the front, and there was a huge broken and fallen tree on the slope, covered with thick white snow.

There is a section of tree stump below, still rooted in the soil.

The tree stump alone is four to five meters high.

Under the leadership of Youina, several people walked up the high slope and came to the tree stump.

At the bottom of the tree stump, there is a tree hole more than one meter high.

Yoina walked straight in.

Jiang Chen and the others had to bend down to enter.

But once inside, the space is much more spacious.

"Live here?"

Jiang Chen saw that there was almost nothing inside, except for a long wooden strip that was cut out from the nearby tree trunk and could be regarded as a bed.

There is also a square wooden block that can barely be distinguished as a table.

This is very different from what Jiang Chen imagined.

Because, Youina was wearing a long embroidered dress embroidered with golden lace.

It has a simple and elegant pattern printed on it.

It definitely doesn't look like an ordinary item.

But this tree hole is really too crude.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chen discovered that there was a strange magic circle with complicated patterns engraved under his feet.

"It looks very much like some kind of sacrificial array?"

Jiang Chen observed these lines and made a rough judgment in his mind.

But he really hasn't done any research on this aspect, and he's not particularly sure.

suddenly!

"Jiejie..."

A cold and strange laughter sounded, which seemed to come from outside.

"What's wrong?"

Qingying's complexion changed slightly.

Tao Xiaoyao's face showed a solemn expression.

Jiang Chen also felt a little more vigilant in his heart.

"Stop making noise!"

Youina shouted, then quickly walked to the innermost position of the tree hole, leaning against the trunk of the tree.

On the tree wall next to her, there are also some strange runes printed on it.

Moreover, these runes are connected to the magic circle on the ground and seem to be part of the magic circle.

At the same time, there is a thick iron chain extending from the center of these runes.

I saw Youina grabbing the chain.

Suddenly.

The magic circle on the ground shimmered.

It seems to be working.

"What's going on? Did you jump into the pit?"

Jiang Chen was startled when he saw the faint light of the magic circle rising under his feet.

Could this little girl have deliberately lured her here to be sacrificed?

It shouldn’t be, the system says that I have gained the other party’s initial trust.

Jiang Chen was still thinking.

"ah!"

Yoina's childish voice sounded, she screamed in pain, and directly wrapped the iron chain around her body!

There was light surging around her body.

These light blue lights, like waves, quickly rushed towards the iron chain.

It was as if this iron chain was absorbing the energy in Yoina's body.

At the same time, the rays of light from the magic circle became even brighter!

"Is this... sacrificing yourself?"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

He heard the sinister "Jie Jie" laughter gradually getting smaller.

After more than ten seconds, it became completely quiet.

And Youina also untied the iron chain and fell to the ground, her whole body shaking uncontrollably.

Her body was soaked with sweat and her face turned pale!

The most shocking thing was that her left eye was covered with red.

This is covered in blood!

At the same time, the left half of her face was already covered with bright red blood.

"What the hell is going on?"

Jiang Chen couldn't bear to look at Youina like this.

If he were an adult, he wouldn't be much touched.

But what a young child this is!

On the side, Qingying and Tao Xiaoyao looked directly at their toes, not daring to look at Youina at all.

"It's okay, I have to do this every day."

Youina was furious and looked very weak. She looked at Jiang Chen, squeezed out a smile, and said slowly: "It's my fault too. Since I broke free from the chains, I've been lazy, and the number of monsters has increased."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and asked, "Is this iron chain used to lock you?"

Youina nodded: "Well, I broke free a year ago."

"One year ago..."

Jiang Chen was startled for a moment, then asked: "How long have you been chained up?"

"217 years."

Yoina said a figure that was unbelievable with a matter-of-fact look on her face.

For a while.

Jiang Chen was stunned.

It was hard for him to believe that the little girl in front of him was alive two hundred years ago?

"But I did it voluntarily. Since the day Dream City was destroyed, I have been taking care of this deserted city alone."

Youina's childish voice and childish face make her look particularly lonely.

"Why do you do this?"

Jiang Chen was very puzzled.

"That day, Fantasy City was destroyed by the Demon God, and my father and mother died trying to seal the Demon God. I was recognized by the Eye of Truth, and the power in my body was activated to maintain the seal."

"Before my father and mother died, they cried and told me that I must keep the seal. At that time, I was still young and they were afraid that I would run around, so they locked me up with iron chains."

"In this way, I continue to provide energy for this magic circle between sleeping and waking up, year after year."

Yoina seemed to have regained some strength. As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from her eyes and face.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's throat choked up and he was a little speechless.
