Bright!

During the rest, Xu Le squinted and immersed himself in the world of the Tree of Souls, trying to relax himself as much as possible and not think about anything.

This allows psychic energy to be restored faster.

The blue light on the Soul Tree is already much dimmer than usual, which is a sign of psychic overdraft.

Warlocks can use meditation to speed up the recovery of psychic energy.

It would be better if there was a moon, but unfortunately it is daytime now.

After the headache symptoms got better, Xu Le began to think about the problems he had encountered before.

Especially the issue of how weird the ancient sounds are.

Gu Yinduo's weird powers vary widely in strength, and their abilities are endless.

The so-called leapfrog challenge is usually difficult to establish.

Most of the time, it takes a swarm of Night Watchmen to take down a powerful weirdo.

This time it's essentially the same.

"From now on, I really need to be more restrained."

After the Red Moon Spirit was combined with the Guyinduo Soul Tree, the spiritual energy he stored was already several times that of a normal warlock.

He had always heard Gan tell him before that warlocks should not use up their psychic powers.

Although Xu Le also listened, he was somewhat indifferent.

He has a lot of spiritual energy, how could he use it all up?

But this time his psychic energy was really used up, which made Xu Le begin to review his past use of psychic energy.

"In the future, as long as it is not a dangerous battle, the psychic energy must be kept above 70%."

…

After recovering part of his spiritual energy, Xu Le entered the realm of the Mother Tree first. At this time, he was holding the Fang of Light he had obtained previously.

He felt that this should be something useful, so let's see if he could sacrifice it first.

Standing in front of the ancient tree, Xu Le began to communicate with the ancient sound tree.

Soon, he got a response.

"Sacrifice, or nourishment?"

Is it really possible?

Xu Le was slightly surprised, if this thing could be sacrificed.

Then its own significance is equal to that of a relic. I don’t know what other effects it will have in the hands of alchemists and rune warlocks.

Xu Le had no intention of offering sacrifices for nourishment, so he took back the Fang of Light.

I'm going to go back and ask about the price. If this thing is worth a lot, I might as well sell it and buy some relics for sacrifice.

After exiting the realm of the mother tree, Xu Le's condition undoubtedly looks much better at this time.

Looking at Wang Shu, who was injured but still on guard, and at Gu Jianuo, who was waiting silently, Xu Le suddenly asked:

"What research do you do in school on weekdays?"

Gu Jianuo, who had been silent all this time, was suddenly asked by Xu Le and didn't respond. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Xu Le and said:

“My job is to make puppet materials for my teacher, a rune warlock, and my research is also in this area.

Mainly in the aspects of enchantment, precision creation, and power increase.

Although I have some knowledge of Potions, I don't major in it.

What I like most is the research on enchantment, especially when the psychic particles guide the curse seals and are arranged in different orders, it can actually form a spell-like effect. It is very magical and I like it very much.

Especially the Creator's Technique that I'm learning now, its arrangement is..."

Gu Jianuo told Xu Le a lot of theoretical knowledge like he was pouring beans. Xu Le couldn't understand it at all, but he still listened carefully.

It can be seen that Gu Jianuo is really interested in this aspect.

But he also noticed something.

Gujiano works for a rune sorcerer.

The legendary puppet master?

Xu Le looked at the scarecrow of fate. According to Gan, the psychic's scarecrow was already a very simple puppet control method.

It's just not as precise as the Rune Warlock's.

I don’t know when I will have the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of warlock.

Moreover, those people who wanted to kill Gu Jianuo, could they have something to do with this puppet master?

Xu Le listened and nodded in affirmation to Gu Jianuo.

Gujiano seemed to like this way of chatting.

Until Xu Le asked inadvertently:

"Oh, yes, I am an international student from Zion. Life was hard in the past few years, but it is getting better now. Are you a native of Beacon?"

"Ang, I'm a local from Beacon, huh? What are you doing?"

Gu Jianuo asked curiously as he saw Xu Le poking at the ground with a small shovel. The ground was already full of small holes dug by him.

Xu Le wrapped a few earthworms in paper and put them in his pocket.

"Oh, I'm digging for earthworms."

“Why dig up earthworms?”

"Well, you can understand it as a personal hobby."

"Classmate Xu Le, your hobbies are really unique."

"Haha, I think so too. Are you from the upper city?"

"No, I used to be from Xiacheng District, and later I was promoted by a teacher."

"Your teacher is very energetic. What's your background?"

"You should know my teacher, right? He is Mrs. Ju Ya's husband, District B District Chief Xiong Zemo, also known as District Chief Big Bear in many people's mouths."

Hearing this, Xu Le's eyes finally narrowed.

Mrs. Ju Ya wants to kill her husband’s apprentice? interesting.

Moreover, Mrs. Ju Ya is not the only one who wants to kill District Chief Xiong’s apprentice.

"It turns out he is the disciple of the Bear District Chief..."

Wang Shu, who was on guard at the side, suddenly poked him with his scabbard:

"Have a rest?"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Xu Le also knew that Wang Shu meant not to let himself continue asking.

Their energy is too small, and this Gu Jianuo is a bit arrogant, saying everything, and knowing too much about some things, which is not good for individuals and the team.

Especially leadership matters.

"Well, it's almost time to rest."

"If it's almost time to rest, we can go."

"good."

The three of them stood up. When passing near the explosion crater, Wang Shu paused.

He turned to Xu Le and said:

"What are you going to do when you meet up with the captain and the others?"

Xu Le's eyes were calm, showing no emotional fluctuations.

"It is the captain's responsibility to ensure the safety of the team members. I will truthfully inform the captain of the situation here."

Xu Le knew very well how complicated Gu Jianuo's situation was.

The more this happens, the more information must be handed over to someone more capable. He is just a new night watchman, and hiding the information about the incident will not do him any good.

Holding this information in your own hands, you don’t even know how to die.

"I know I should tell the captain truthfully, I'm talking about Gu Beichen."

"What's wrong with Gu Beichen?"

"You know Beichen's personality is not very good...I think."

Xu Le already understood what Wang Shu meant, he wanted to hide it from Gu Beichen.

But on this point, he disagreed.

“They are all adults, no one is a child, and no one wants to be another person’s nanny.

If he can't even tell the basics of right from wrong, then he won't be a qualified night watchman. "

Wang Shu was silent for a moment.

"I know, but I'm afraid that his psychic ability will exceed the limit. In that case, the captain will kill him directly."

Xu Le was a little helpless. As Gu Beichen's actual bodyguards, Bai Jing and Wang Shu were overly protective of Gu Beichen in some aspects.

Gu Beichen's own identity is also very suspicious.

This is class. In Beacon, class is everywhere.

"Forget it, after informing the captain about this matter, let the captain decide whether to tell Gu Beichen or not."

When Wang Shu heard what Xu Le said, his eyes suddenly softened.

"Thanks, Xu Le."

"He should be thanking you, not you thanking me."

While the two were talking, Gu Jianuo could only remain silent. The three of them walked slowly on the streets of Block 1. No more weird attacks were encountered in the rest of the road.

By 4 p.m., they finally passed through Block 1.

The reason for walking so slowly was mainly because the three of them were not in very good condition, especially Wang Shu.

Xu Le's injury was not serious and he could recover his psychic powers during the march.

But Wang Shu can't. His trauma is still quite serious, and overexertion will cause his trauma to recur.

"The inner neighborhood is just ahead. I don't know where Captain and the others are going."

Xu Le stood near the team's camping spot last time. Traces of several fires were still left here. It seemed that no creatures had damaged it during this time.

Further forward, there is only a relatively spacious circular street.

Of course there are some small roads, but Xu Le and the others have no intention of going in.

The two teams of night watchmen must follow the main road when exploring.

As long as they walk along the road, they will definitely meet Bai Jing and the others.

"Let's go."

As time goes by, the sky gradually gets darker, and the days are still very long in mid-August. Even after 7 o'clock, there is still no need to light the lights.

"It's not here yet, it's getting dark soon." Gu Jianuo's voice was very low.

However, the neighborhood here has obviously been cleaned up. Without any sound, Xu Le and Wang Shu could hear it clearly.

"Miss Gu, don't worry too much. Normally, exploration in this situation should stop around 6 o'clock.

We have come so far, and I believe Captain and the others will not be too far away from us. "

"Okay, okay, even if it gets dark, it doesn't matter. I won't hold you back."

Gu Jianuo seemed to be expressing his strength, but Xu Le and Wang Shu were also a little confused.

The area of ​​Block 53 should not be particularly huge. Do the captain and the people from Team 5 want to explore the entire inner street at once?

Xu Le suppressed his doubts and said to Gu Jianuo on the side:

"It should be here soon, don't worry."

boom! boom!

The sudden sound of gunfire startled Xu Le and Wang Shu. The sound should be the sound of two shotgun blasts.

"Not far ahead."

"Walk."

The three of them accelerated again, and as they continued to get closer, the frequency of gunshots became more and more frequent.

"There's a fight ahead."

"It's already this time, are they still exploring?"

"have no idea."

While the three of them were advancing rapidly, the two teams in front were entangled with a large number of ghost species.

Some inexperienced members of Team 5 have been controlled by several white-clothed ghosts.

The members of Team 6 were also in a tough fight.

A statue was seen charging through the middle of the two teams. Its power was almost unrivaled.

Even Zhou Jie and Bai Jing, two level 4 warriors, could not compete with him.

The statue kicked Bai Jing away, turned around and punched Zhou Jie.

The fist wind cut through the air, Zhou Jie's sword was directly shattered by the fist, and ripples like water droplets appeared in the center of the iron fist.

Zhou Jie's scalp was numb. If he was hit by this punch, he would probably be crippled even if he didn't die.

"team leader!"

Some members of Team 5 were also exclaiming, but just when their fist was about to hit Zhou Jie, the statue suddenly stopped.

It turned its head slightly stiffly and glanced at the sun that was about to set. The blue light in its eyes gradually dissipated.

With his arms retracted, the statue slowly walked towards the center of the fountain pool in the building in front.

Standing in the middle of the pool, the statue gradually solidified, slowly squatted down, and returned to its original appearance as a thinker.

"Captain? It actually went back?"

"Ok, I know."

Yes, this statue was originally the one in the center of the pool in front of the building opposite.

After the two teams of night watchmen, Bai Jing and Zhou Jie, came here, the statue slowly activated and turned into a humanoid weapon.

But what I didn't expect was that at this point in time, the statue actually walked back and became its original appearance.

Without the help of the statue, those white-clothed ghosts could no longer resist the charge of the two groups of night watchmen.

Especially Gu Beichen and another fire disaster warlock.

Their fireballs raged across the sky, and it didn't take long before the remaining ghosts were burned to death.

The members of the night watchman who were controlled by the ghost species also woke up one after another.

Xu Le and the other three happened to see the scene when the statue returned. This result was a bit surprising.

Will the weird ones stay?

Does the scene where he looks towards the sunset mean anything?

Wang Shu glanced at his watch, turned to Xu Le and said:

"Exactly 8 o'clock."

Is it 8 o'clock? Did that statue go back because it was 8 o'clock?

Xu Le did not continue thinking because Gu Beichen, who was not far away, had already seen them.

At this time, Gu Beichen was not proud of showing the power of the warlock.

There was only deep worry in his eyes.

That's why after getting rid of the ghost in white, he immediately looked in the direction Xu Le and the others came from.

After seeing that there were only three people in Xu Le's team and that Li Shunliu was not there, Gu Beichen's eyes swayed obviously.

He closed his eyes, adjusted his mood, and then walked towards Xu Le and the others.

"Xu Le, where is Shunliu?"

"She's dead."

The rhetoric he had prepared before seemed to be of little use at this moment. When faced with Gu Beichen's questioning, Xu Le had no intention of showing weakness.

Because the incident itself was not his fault.

However, he did not directly tell Gu Beichen about Li Shunliu's situation.

This is to agree to Wang Shu's request.

"She's dead, why do you come back? What's the promise you made to me?"

Everyone could hear Gu Beichen's anger. Xu Le closed his eyes and then opened them again.

"You'd better control your anima. I'm going to the captain to report on this mission. Please don't stop me."

"you……"

"Beichen, calm down."

Wang Shu pushed Gu Beichen away, while Xu Le took this opportunity and walked straight to the end of the street.

"team leader."

Bai Jing has also noticed the problem on Xu Le's side.

She first turned to look at Zhou Jie:

"Team Zhou, it should be safe here now. I will deal with the team's problems first, and you should also quickly deal with the injuries of your own team.

If you have any information, we can exchange it in the evening. "

"Okay, no problem, let's make an appointment until 9 o'clock, okay?"

"OK."

After a brief exchange, the two captains left.

Bai Jing looked at Xu Le, then glanced at Wang Shu who was still wrapped in gauze not far away, and frowned slightly:

"What happened?"

Xu Le shook his head, and Bai Jing immediately understood what he meant.

"Come with me."

The two of them came to a corner far away from the crowd one after another. At this distance, the sound was basically inaudible.

"What's going on, tell me."

"Li Shunliu was an informant sent by someone, and she was tasked with killing Gu Jianuo.

I was vaguely aware of this process, but I still didn't stop her assassination.

The result was quite lucky. Li Shunliu died, Brother Shu was seriously injured, I was slightly injured and my psychic energy was overdrawn, and Miss Gu Jianuo was not seriously injured. "

After hearing Xu Le's report, Bai Jing closed her eyes, pinched the bridge of her nose and rubbed it hard.

"You said Li Shunliu was an informant sent by someone? Does that mean she is not Mrs. Ju Ya's person?"

"I did a divination once, and it is true that she is not Mrs. Juya's, but I don't know whether the result of my divination is accurate. I was in a very bad state at the time and my spiritual energy was almost exhausted."

"So many people want to kill Gu Jianuo. This matter is complicated. Gu Jianuo...can't let anything happen."

Bai Jing had already judged the outcome of the matter without getting much information.

"Does the captain know her identity?"

"Of course I know, but as a protection, I didn't tell you. This is to protect her and you."

Xu Le nodded and immediately asked:

"Captain, what's going on between District Chief Xiong and Mrs. Ju Ya?

They are husband and wife, but they are also fighting among themselves? So whose side should we be on now? "

Bai Jing said without hesitation:

"Stand with Mrs. Juya."

Ke Xule didn't understand:

"Why? She wants to kill Gujiano? Do we want to help her too?"

"It's not that simple. Of course we can't kill Gu Jianuo, but we also have to stand by Mrs. Ju Ya."

"What's the meaning?"

Bai Jing shook her head slightly, squatted down and drew two bowls on the ground with branches.

"Two people met a beggar, one gave him money and the other didn't. Which one do you think is the good guy?"

Xu Le hesitated for a moment, was this a test for him?

"Although I don't know what the captain meant, I still think that giving money is a kind of kindness."

"Yes, I also think it's good to give money.

The person who gave the money was a consul who had embezzled disaster relief funds. He gave the money to prove his kindness and integrity to the superior.

The man who didn't give him any money was a strong man who had been hungry for several days and was about to rob. But when he saw how pitiful the beggar was, he gave up the robbery.

Now, who is better? "

Hearing this, Xu Le seemed to realize something.

"What the captain means is that doing good without considering cause and effect is truly good, and being able to do evil without doing evil is a good person?"

Bai Jing shook her head again and continued:

“If beggars are pretending, giving money will cause more people to give up work and pretend to be beggars.

Do you think it is better to give money or not to give money? "

"this……"

Xu Le touched his head, feeling a little confused.

Bai Jing stood up and left her last words:

"When you can't tell the difference between good and bad people, whoever treats you well is a good person."
