Guardian of the Spirit

Da da da.

Several heavy footsteps sounded from a distance, and in the silent and dark forest, the undisguised footsteps were particularly obvious.

"He came here so openly?"

Jiang Yuan jumped off the tree.

In an instant, a icy light flashed past, and the surrounding trees made the sound of breaking at the same time.

A horizontal black line appeared on the trunks of all the trees, and the part of the trunk above the black line began to slope to the lower end of the black line, as if a large chainsaw more than ten meters had been cut from the middle of the trunk.

Boom! ! !

Trees fell down one after another and hit the ground, making loud noises and flying dust.

The tree trunk was cut off, and the worm and flying elves hiding in the tree were scared to death and ran around. After the smoke cleared, there was only a nearby open space with tree stumps.

An unremarkable middle-aged man stood at the other end of the tree stump clearing. Beside the man were two powerful grass elves, Overlord Flower and Lizard King.

The overlord is the final evolution of the walking grass, with an indigo-blue bulbous body and legs, and a flower on top of its head consisting of five red petals with white circular spots.

Poisonous spores and poisonous gas floated from the top of the Overlord flower. The pollen with strong poison dyed the surrounding air an eerie yellow color, and because it was midnight, the yellow air looked even more eerie.

There is a large amount of highly poisonous pollen in the air, and all the elves in Linghua Forest hurriedly retreated, not daring to get close to the Bawanghua and the poisonous gas around it, for fear of being poisoned to death.

The Overlord Flower of this level is weaker than its elves. Once it is stained with or inhaled a little poisonous pollen in the air, it will be extremely uncomfortable, and it will directly fall into a paralyzed state and completely lose its fighting ability.

The Overlord Flower did not launch an attack, but the poisonous powder it emitted naturally had already frightened most of the elves in the Birch Forest, leaving only four grass-type elves who were also at the master level and proficient in poisonous powder.

The deterrent power of the Overlord Flower is very terrifying, and the other lizard king next to the middle-aged man does not seem to be much weaker than the Overlord Flower.

The appearance of the Lizard King is a lizard standing on two feet. At this time, there is a leaf blade gathered around its arm. The cold light that split all the trees in the blink of an eye just now was emitted by it.

The Lizard King looked around with contemptuous eyes. Even facing the four master-level elves guarding the entrance of the Jinghu Lake in the Linghua Forest, he did not show the slightest timidity. shelf.

Bawanghua and Lizard King united with amazing momentum. Xie Mi, who was hiding behind a tree that had not been cut down, quickly climbed up to Jiang Yuan and acted as a thug, ready to catch him.

As for Li Jiu, she returned to Jinghu and stayed away from the battlefield. After all, she is not a superpower and has no actual combat ability. Apart from Xie Mi, she also has no other powerful elves. Staying here can only get in the way.

Knowing that he was useless here, and maybe he might be caught and became a hostage to threaten Jiang Yuan, Li Jiu consciously stayed in the safe place of Jinghu.

As for Xie Mi's command, Li Jiu once again handed over full authority to Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan has more combat experience than her. At present, he is the only one who can make Xie Mi exert stronger power.

Xing Tong, the third person sent by the Bilu Sect to secretly search for grass-type slabs, was looking at Jiang Yuan wearing a mask on the other side of the tree stump clearing, and said, "Why, you dare to wait for me here, but you don't dare to wait for me here? Show your true colors."

"Well, I really don't dare, I'm so scared."

Jiang Yuan said and patted his chest.

"..."

Xing Tong choked on Jiang Yuan's weird words.

"Listen to your voice, you are very young." Xing said.

"I'm really young, unlike you, I'm 50 or [-] years old, I'm about to enter the realm of the elderly, but I'm still working hard outside, running around for the Green Gate." For some reason, Jiang Yuan especially wanted to piss people off tonight.

"Ha ha."

Xing Tong smiled, instead of confronting Jiang Yuan, he asked, "Guess why I am running around for the organization?"

"No guessing, let's stop talking nonsense and just open it."

Jiang Yuan stared at Xing Tong, for some reason, he had a very bad premonition.

Judging from Xing Tong's reaction just now, he must have known in advance that someone would squat him at the entrance of Jinghu Lake, but he still came over, acting abnormally.

Leaving aside how Xing Tong learned that Jiang Yuan was going to squat him, if Jiang Yuanhuan thought from Xing Tong's point of view and learned that someone was squatting him, he would definitely not fall into the trap by himself.

It was too abnormal for Xing Tong to send it to the door so boldly. Jiang Yuan was a little afraid that he had already sent the grass-type stone slab.

"Hehe, you and I actually don't need to fight. You squatted on me just for the sacred object. Unfortunately, the sacred object is no longer in my hands." Xing Tong laughed, but his smile did not reach his eyes.

Jiang Yuan frowned and said nothing.

The thing he was most worried about had happened.

"Aren't you weird, how did I know someone would squat me?"

Xing Tong asked himself and answered: "Because the souls of the two of them have been under the spirit guarding technique, as long as someone hypnotizes them with super powers and probes the memory in their souls with super powers, I will know."

Jiang Yuan was taken aback.

Soul Keeping is a relatively special means of superpowers. Its principle is that a person with superpowers separates part of his own spiritual power and keeps this spiritual power in the soul of others.

Because this power is extremely weak, it will disappear at the touch of a touch. Once an external super power affects the soul of the person who has been subjected to the soul guarding technique, the remaining spiritual power will be completely erased, and the super power user who performed the spell will be completely wiped out. will be sensed immediately.

Soul Keeping is not like its name, it has the function of protecting the soul, it has a function, which is equivalent to an alarm device, guarding the "innocence" of a certain soul.

Soul Keeping Technique is generally used on ordinary people who do not have super powers, using Soul Keeping Technique to ensure the normal consciousness of ordinary people.

The soul keeping technique cannot stop the hypnotism technique, but at least it can serve as a wake-up call for the caster, lest all the important information is covered up and people don't know it.

"Soul Keeping Technique, hey, I'm careless."

Jiang Yuan held his forehead, feeling a little headache.

Soul Keeping is a special technique, except for people who are proficient in superpowers such as Dream Ruins and Spirit Realm, only a small number of people with extremely high superpower attainments will use it.

Jiang Yuan was also careless. He didn't expect that the soul of the bald man would be cast with a soul-guarding technique, so he didn't go out of his way to find out, which led to the discovery by the caster.

Generally speaking, the spiritual power left by the soul keeping technique will be hidden deep in the soul, and this power is too weak, weaker than the soul strength of ordinary people, just like fragile glass, as long as there is external power touching the soul, This spiritual power will be dissipated.

Jiang Yuan knows how to guard the soul and knows how to crack it, but he was careless after all. He didn't notice the spiritual power deep in the bald man's soul. He accidentally destroyed that ray of spiritual power during hypnosis and probing memory.

When the spiritual power is wiped out, the people at the Green Gate know that their companions' souls have been probed.

"How? Without the sacred object, do you still want to fight?"

Xing Tong looked at Jiang Yuan with a confident look.

"Walk."

Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice.

As Xing Tong said, the grass-type stone slab was sent away by him in advance, so it would be meaningless to fight him now.

Since Xing Tong dared to come here, everything must have been arranged properly. It is probably too late for Jiang Yuan to arrest him now, hypnotize him, and find out the whereabouts of the grass-type slabs.

Instead of wasting time and energy with Xing Tong, it's better to go to the Ice Snow Gate and see what's going on there.

Bai Sinian's goal seems to be the Bingxuemen. The two of them are very likely to fight and lose both sides. Now they may be able to find a leak in the past. Of course, if they can't find a leak, Jiang Yuan will not fight recklessly.

Xing Tong seemed to see what Jiang Yuan wanted to do next, and said, "You want to find people from the Bingxuemen? I advise you to save yourself, the water in the Bingxuemen is very deep, and the sacred object they have is just this one." Xie Mi, a weak chicken, can't grab it at all."

When Xie Mi heard this, she stared fiercely.

Who are you talking about?

"The water is deep?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Xing Tong.

"What are you looking for the sacred object for?" Xing Tong asked, even if Jiang Yuan wanted to grab the slate, he didn't seem to have any hostility towards Jiang Yuan.

"Of course it is to enhance the strength of the elves."

Jiang Yuan replied, as for the deeper reasons, he couldn't tell.

"After improving the strength of the elves, what next? Is this the only goal you have?" Xing said.

"Of course there are other things to do." Jiang Yuan said impatiently.

Jiang Yuan didn't want to stay here and go around in circles with Xing Tong, but wanted to leave, but at this moment, Xing Tong's lizard king suddenly stepped forward, staring closely at Jiang Yuan, Lantern Ghost and Xie Mi, ready to attack at any time.

Xing Tong, I don't want Jiang Yuan to go.

"What the hell do you want?"

Jiang Yuan was forced to stop.

He learned from the memory of the bald man that Xing Tong has master-level elves, not only Lizard King and Overlord Flower, if Xing Tong really wants to entangle him for a while, he can still do it.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you a few questions." Xing Tong laughed like a gentle middle-aged uncle.

"that's it?"

"Of course not. If I'm not satisfied with your answer, I can only do it. You just wanted to squat on me. If the answer doesn't suit me, I can't make it easier for you, right?"

"..."

Jiang Yuan didn't reply, and now his face was almost written with these big words, say something, say something, and fart.

Xing Tong didn't care about Jiang Yuan's attitude. He asked, "What do you think of the relationship between humans and elves? Do you think humans are enslaving elves now?"

Jiang Yuan heard the words, thought for a moment, and replied: "It is considered to be enslaving elves, but there are people who enslave elves, and there are people who really make friends with elves and get along with elves."

This kind of problem of getting along with elves is not absolute.

"Then which category do you think you belong to, the category of enslavement, or the category of being friendly?" Xing Tong said again.

"Half and half, I already regard the elves as my own family and treat them with sincerity, but at the same time, I also have my own selfishness. If the word slavery is defined as asking elves to do something they don't like to do, then I am more or less Or at least a little bit, of course, I generally don't force them to do something." Jiang Yuan said.

Training elves is more or less selfish, and Jiang Yuan is the same.

Using elves to fight and do things is actually to achieve a certain purpose, which is regarded as slavery to a certain extent, but this kind of slavery is the "slavery" that elves can accept and are willing to do.

Whether to enslave or not to be enslaved is entirely a matter of definition.

"Does your elf like staying with you and trusts you completely?" Xing Tong continued.

"That's for sure." Jiang Yuan said.

The lamp ghost on the side: "..."

It has never seen such a brazen person.

Jiang Yuan is a fart, it still prefers to stay with Slate.

"Do you think your elves will live better after they leave you, or do you think elves will live better after they are separated from humans?" Xing said.

"Let's talk about these two points separately. I don't know if my life will be better without my elves. After all, I am not a fortune teller. As for the separation of elves and humans, generally speaking, I think it should be better." good."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Xing Tong suddenly laughed. He seemed very satisfied with Jiang Yuan's answer.

It was a heartfelt laughter, which made Jiang Yuan feel a little uncomfortable.

After a while, Xing Tong stopped laughing, he stared straight at Jiang Yuan's alpaca mask, and sincerely invited: "Are you willing to join us at the Green Gate, join us, your elves can use the power of the holy object to continuously Get stronger and do what you want to accomplish."

"Huh? Join the Green Gate?"

Jiang Yuan reacted immediately.

Xing Tong went around in such a big circle and asked so many questions. His feelings were testing whether he had the qualifications to enter the Green Gate.

This guy is doing pyramid schemes.

"Want to join?" Xing Tong asked again.

"How big a piece of relic do you have, for example, a relic the size of a wardrobe?"

"No... no."

Xing Tong wanted to slap Jiang Yuan to death.

Is it really a Chinese cabbage on the side of the road?

"No more to say, the question just now should be your last question, then I can go, goodbye."

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, and then, he grabbed the lamp ghost and released his super power to teleport for a short distance.

"I'm not very satisfied with your last answer, so don't think about leaving."

Before Xing finished the call, the Lizard King and Bawanghua beside him rushed out.

The four master-level grass elves in Linghua Forest are not vegetarians either. Two of them are in charge of the Lizard King, and the other two are in charge of the Overlord Flower, pinning each other down.

Lizard King and Overlord Flower were stopped by the elves of Linghua Forest, but Jiang Yuan still moved towards the entrance of Jinghu Lake instantly, at an extremely fast speed. He was here one second, and appeared 50 meters away in the next second.

Xing Tong not only has two master elves, Lizard King and Overlord Flower, but also a Rotten Wood Demon who is good at hiding. It is too dangerous to run slowly.

"Shamy, there's an elf hiding in the ground to your left, release a seed flash."

When Jiang Yuan moved halfway in an instant, he felt a sense in his heart, and shouted to Xie Mi who was also running in the direction of Jinghu.
