Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2368 Should we call for reinforcements?
Feng Yiwang spent three or four hours checking everything before and after, and then came up with a plan.

"Boss, why don't you do some divination and tell me what flaws this plan might have?"

Qu Jianlei didn't even lift his eyelids. "You can handle it yourself. You don't need to ask me."

"So you agreed to it!" Shu Jian felt a little relieved.

Then it pondered for another ten minutes or so before cautiously beginning to search for the soul.

As for lifting the restriction? That's impossible; it won't give the other party any possibility of actively triggering a self-report.

In the blink of an eye, more than two hours had passed, and Feng Wangyi finally extracted the first wisp of divine soul memory.

"Wow, this is really not easy," it sighed inwardly. "No, I can't be arrogant. I have to keep working hard."

"Also, this seems to be a bit too short a time, should we..."

Just then, a divine sense suddenly descended, exceptionally powerful, "Finally caught you, do you want anything?"

"Huh?" Feng Yiwang was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. "Who? Whose body is this?"

But the next moment, it realized, "The scent of incense... it's actually a Great Venerable of the Zerg!"

Without saying a word, it immediately assumed a fighting stance. This was not just for show; the two races were sworn enemies!

However, an invisible pressure immediately bound it tightly. "Huh, how dare you! You're courting death..."

"Wait a minute," another divine sense transmitted, "This is not suitable for you to handle!"

Another divine thought descended from the body!
Oh no! Feng Yiwang's heart sank, and his Golden Core disciples beside him trembled, feeling as if their bodies were about to collapse.

Shu Jian composed himself and respectfully sent out his divine sense, "Greetings, greetings, Your Excellency!"

Indeed, the divine thought that followed was the kind unique to the mother tree.

The Mother Tree, seemingly unconcerned, asked casually, "Which tribe are you from, and why are you wandering here?"

"Your Excellency, I...I...I am from the Ruosheng tribe," Shujian's consciousness spoke intermittently, as if he were in a state of extreme shock.

"After this war, war, and battle, we lost contact with the tribe."

If the Ruosheng tribe has been destroyed, it was destroyed by cultivators, who had previously fought a great war with the Zerg.

"Not from your tribe," the Zerg's externalized divine sense was quite sharp, sounding almost like a howl, "This guy is very strange!"

"But the causal thread... there isn't one," the Mother Tree's divine sense spoke intermittently, somewhat muffledly, "You've got it wrong, haven't you?"

"So what?" the Zerg creature replied dismissively. "It's currently searching for the souls of the locusts; it already destroyed two of them."

"If I hadn't acted on a whim, I wouldn't have known this had happened!"

"Locusts are locusts, and tree people are tree people," the Mother Tree slowly declared. "Since there is no cause and effect, I will handle this myself!"

The two then began arguing, completely ignoring the presence of Feng Wangyi and his Golden Core disciple.

But that's normal. What kind of trouble could a mere Nascent Soul Tree and a Golden Core Tree cause in front of two Great Venerables?
Feng Yiwang dared not make any move, but still quietly sensed the situation and discovered that the leader inside the tree hole had disappeared.

I knew it! A sense of helplessness welled up in Shu Jian's heart.

No wonder the boss agreed to help with the soul search; he had already discovered the potential danger!
But who can be blamed for this? Feng Wangyi was speechless; it was its own initiative that led to this.

It noticed that its little golden core brother was trembling, so it subtly slapped him: "Do you want to die?"

Although the tree demon's actions were secretive, they did not escape the notice of the two great beings, but they did not pay any attention to them.

The mother tree, who had left her body, even remarked, "Hey, she's quite disciplined... no wonder she's a tree."

It still showed some favoritism towards the Tree Clan, even though this was a Nascent Soul from another tribe.

The Mother Tree does not want the Out-of-Body Zerg to deal with the Wind Forgotten; if anyone is to take action, it must be the Mother Tree.

However, the two of them started arguing and weren't in a hurry at all.

As Feng Wangyi listened, his heart grew colder. It turned out that the locusts' conversion to incense offerings and their ascension to godhood was orchestrated by these two—they were in cahoots!

From their conversation, it is impossible to determine exactly how many Treefolk and Zerg tribes were involved in this matter.

The agreement between the two was that the mother tree would give her locusts to the insect race and then cultivate incense and become a god.

In return for their creation of the body, the Zerg would guarantee not to attack the mother tree and would also help it fend off attacks from other Zerg.

As for whether they had agreed to jointly deal with the Tapir race, neither of the two Great Venerables mentioned it.

The Zerg complained that the Mother Tree provided too few locusts, far behind the breeding capacity of the Zerg under its control.

The attitude of the Astral Mother Tree was: I have been doing my best to supply you, and my own tribe's subordinates also need locusts!

Moreover, how can your hastily bred subordinates be as useful as the Treant's locusts?
The locusts do not lose their own magic and can perform reliably even without the support of incense offerings, which is something the Zerg cannot match.

The Zerg's out-of-body statement emphasizes the current tense situation, and that something else seems to have detected the incense-like scent of the locusts!

Their conversation showed that they didn't take Feng Wangshi seriously at all, because both of the Great Venerables were certain that he had no connection to this matter.

However, Feng Wangyi was not only shocked but also quite desperate: now that he knew the news, could he still escape?
During the conversation, two beings gradually materialized: a towering tree and a huge golden beetle.

The two powerful figures did not appear to be present in person, but the oppressive aura was still immense.

After appearing, the Golden Beetle snorted coldly, "This little Nascent Soul cultivator really dares to keep listening!"

"I'd love to run away," Feng Yiwang thought to himself, "but do I have the guts?"
If it were just one Out-of-Body, it might have the courage to try and escape before the opponent arrives, but these are two Out-of-Body!

"Fool, I've already given you your chance!" The Astral Mother Tree swayed its branches. "Do you really think we can't calculate cause and effect?"

Feng Yiwang did not participate in the battle to capture the locusts, but its relationship with Qu Jianlei was also deeply intertwined.

Before these two astral projections occurred, they were worried that the creature would run away without a care, so they changed the subject.

Now that it's confirmed that they can lock each other down, what else do they have to fear?

"Don't mention the Ruosheng tribe, that branch has already been destroyed, and you're lying!"

"Now reveal who's behind this, and I'll give you a quick death!"

"Boss, you've really gotten me into trouble this time!" Feng Wangyi felt utterly helpless.

It knew the leader was still there, so it hid in the cave, but it didn't have the guts to reveal him.

While these two beings who have left their bodies are indeed terrifying, the four Immortal Venerables beside the leader... are not even terrifying; they are on the level of world destruction.

The Tree Slayer was all too aware of the cultivators' strength.

In a one-on-one situation, neither the Treant nor the Zerg's Astral Projection is nearly as powerful as the Human's Immortal Venerable.

Regardless, it could only stubbornly insist, "Mother, I don't quite understand what you're talking about."

"It seems that, indeed, there are still some unyielding tree race members..." The mother tree was speaking when an endless force of confinement suddenly arose around her.

"Leave it to me!" the Golden Beetle Venerable said calmly, "Don't kill him!"

The tree struggled desperately, but unfortunately, it was all in vain.

The Golden Core disciple stayed obediently to the side, not daring to move.

Even so, due to the immense pressure, cracks appeared on its body.

"Mother, I'm innocent!" Feng Wangyi struggled in vain. "You can't do this to me. I shed blood for the Tree Clan..."

"Well... you can only blame yourself for knowing too much," the mother tree said calmly. "You've certainly got the act right!"

"Damn it, why doesn't my tribe have any tough guys like this?"

"Really, don't kill it, I have a use for it," said the Golden Beetle Venerable, then with a thought, he captured the Golden Core Flying Locust.

"This sealing method... wait, it can actually bypass my restrictions to search for souls?"

The next moment, the golden beetle released its divine sense and scanned its surroundings. "Not good, it might be a trap!"

"No way?" The mother tree, wielding the massive body of the forgotten wind, also released its senses. "Is something amiss?"

Although it was searching around, it did not withdraw the binding force field.

This force field is far inferior to that of True Venerable Minning, and even further inferior to that of Han Li.

Feng Yiwang wasn't surprised, because almost every Astral Tree could control this kind of binding force field.

This can barely be considered a natural ability of the Tree Clan, but it can only be used after one leaves the body.

Some members of the Tree Clan at the Nascent Soul stage also possess this skill, but very few do.

However, what Feng Yiwang was more concerned about was not this, but the sudden realization that these two were not of one mind!

While that binding force field can capture people, it can also prevent attacks from others.

The mother tree may be on guard against potential enemies, but who can be sure it's not on guard against scarab beetles?
"Give me that Nascent Soul," the Golden Beetle clearly sensed as well, "I want to search its soul!"

"It's not your turn yet!" the Mother Tree retorted. "We're just cooperating; I'm not your subordinate!"

"Then I must have it?" It's clear that the Zerg have the upper hand in the cooperation between the two sides.

Meanwhile, Qu Jianlei was hiding in his cave, silently watching all of this.

"Let's call for reinforcements," Xizhao suggested. "Just do some divination, these are two soul-splitting beings!"

The only thing we can discuss with him right now is the ruler.

Qu Jianlei had been pondering for a long time, but he was still a little unwilling. "It's just two clones."

He didn't know what Han Li and the other three were doing, but since no one had divined anything about him after he had been out for so long, it was clear that they hadn't gone back yet.

So, the four immortal venerables might still be waiting for an opportunity to arise, or they might be watching the feud between the two races unfold.

The probability of them getting themselves into battle is not very high.

Given the way these four operate, the battle won't take long to end; there's no such thing as a coincidence.

But even if someone is preparing for battle or observing, it's not really appropriate to disturb them casually, is it?
