Guardian of the Spirit

Da da da.

Several heavy footsteps came from a distance. In the quiet and dark forest, these undisguised footsteps were particularly obvious.

"He just came over like this openly?"

Jiang Yuan jumped off the tree.

In an instant, an icy cold light flashed through, and the surrounding trees simultaneously made a snapping sound.

A horizontal black line appeared on the trunks of all the trees. The part of the trunk above the black line began to tilt toward the lower end of the black line, as if a large chainsaw of more than ten meters was cutting through the trunk.

Rumble!!!

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

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

A middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance stood at the other end of the clearing of tree stumps. Beside the man were two grass-type elves with powerful auras, Overlord Flower and Lizard King.

The Overlord flower is the final evolved form of the walking grass. It has an indigo bulb-like body and legs. The flower on its head is composed of five red petals with white round spots.

Toxic spores and poisonous gas floated out from the head of the Overlord Flower. The highly toxic pollen dyed the surrounding air a weird yellow color. Because it was midnight, the yellow air looked even weirder.

There was a large amount of poisonous pollen in the air, and the elves in the birch forest hurriedly retreated, not daring to get even close to the Overlord flower and the poisonous gas surrounding it, for fear that they would be poisoned to death.

This level of overlord flower, if the spirit is weaker than it, will be extremely uncomfortable if it inhales even a little bit of the poisonous pollen in the air. It will directly fall into a state of paralysis and completely lose the ability to fight.

The Overlord Flower did not launch an attack, but the poisonous powder it naturally emitted had scared away most of the elves in the birch forest, leaving only four grass-type elves who had also reached the master level and were equally 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 look much weaker than the Overlord Flower.

The Lizard King looks like a lizard standing on two legs. At this time, there is a leaf blade condensed on its arm. The cold light that split all the trees in the blink of an eye was emitted by it.

The Lizard King looked around with contempt. Even facing the four master-level elves guarding the entrance of Jinghu Lake in Linghua Forest, he did not show any timidity. Instead, he was arrogant and eager to fight, wanting to fight with the elves.

shelf.

The Overlord Flower and the Lizard King combined with an 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, preparing to catch the other party.

As for Li Jiu, she returned to Jinghu Lake and stayed away from the battlefield. After all, she is not a superpower and has no actual fighting ability. Besides Xie Mi, she has no other powerful elves, so staying here can only hinder her.

Knowing that he was of no use here and that he might be caught and become a hostage threatening Jiang Yuan, Li Jiu consciously stayed in a safe place in Jinghu.

As for the command of Xie Mi, Li Jiu once again gave full power 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.

The third person from the Green Sect who came out to secretly search for the grass-type slate, Xing Tong, was looking at Jiang Yuan who was 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 do it like this?"

Show your true face."

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

Jiang Yuan said and patted his chest.

"..."

Xing Tong choked at Jiang Yuan's somewhat sinister words.

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

"I am indeed very young. Unlike you, who is in his forties or fifties, right? I am already entering the realm of the elderly. However, I am still working hard outside and running around for the Green Gate." I don't know why,

Jiang Yuan especially wanted to quarrel with others tonight.

"hehe."

Xing Tong smiled and did not argue with Jiang Yuan, but asked: "Guess, why do I have to travel here and there for the organization?"

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

Jiang Yuan stared at Xing Tong, and 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 be squatting on him at the entrance of Jinghu Lake, but he still came over and behaved very abnormally.

How did Xing Tong know that Jiang Yuan wanted to squat on him? Let’s not talk about it for now. If Jiang Yuan thought from Xing Tong’s point of view and learned that someone was squatting on him, he would definitely not throw himself into the trap.

It was so abnormal for Xing Tong to send it to his door so boldly. Jiang Yuan was a little afraid that he had already given away the grass-type slate.

"Haha, there is no need for you and me to fight. Aren't you squatting with me just for the sacred object? It's a pity that the sacred object is no longer in my hands." Xing Tong smiled, but his smile did not reach his eyes.

Jiang Yuan frowned and said nothing.

What he was most worried about happened.

"Are you weird? How did I know someone would squat on me?"

Xing Tong asked himself and answered: "Because their two souls have been under the soul-guarding spell, as long as someone uses super powers to hypnotize them and use super powers to detect the memories in their souls, I will know."

Jiang Yuan was stunned.

Soul-keeping is a relatively special superpower method. Its principle is that a person with extremely strong superpowers separates part of his own spiritual power and leaves this spiritual power in the soul of others.

Since this power is extremely weak and can be destroyed at the touch of a touch, once an external superpower affects the soul of the person who has been subjected to the soul-guarding spell, the remaining spiritual power will be completely erased, and the superpower who cast the spell will

It will be sensed immediately.

The soul guarding technique does not have the function of guarding the soul as its name suggests. Its function is equivalent to an alarm device, guarding the "innocence" of a certain soul.

The soul-keeping technique is generally used on ordinary people who do not have superpowers, and the soul-keeping technique is used to ensure the normal consciousness of ordinary people.

The Soul Keeping Technique cannot stop the hypnosis technique, but it can at least serve as a wake-up call for the person who performs the technique, so as to prevent the person who performs the technique from getting all the important information.

"The soul-keeping technique, hey, I was careless."

Jiang Yuan held his forehead, feeling a little headache.

Except for people who are proficient in superpowers, such as the Soul Keeping Technique, only a small number of people with extremely high superpower attainments can use it.

Jiang Yuan was also careless. He didn't expect that the soul of the bald man would be subject to a soul-keeping spell, so he didn't go out of his way to find out. As a result, he was discovered by the caster.

Generally speaking, the spiritual power left by the soul-keeping technique will be hidden deep in the soul. In addition, this power is too weak and is weaker than the soul of ordinary people. It is like fragile glass. As long as there is external force touching the soul,

This spiritual power will be dissipated.

Jiang Yuan knew how to keep souls and knew how to crack it, but he was careless after all and did not notice the spiritual power deep in the bald man's soul. He inadvertently destroyed that ray of spiritual power while hypnotizing and probing his memory.

When the spiritual power is wiped out, the people of the Green Sect will know that their companion's soul has been explored.

"How about it? Without the holy 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 slate was sent away by him in advance, so it would be meaningless to fight with him now.

Since Xing Tong dared to come here, everything must have been arranged. Jiang Yuan would probably be too late to catch him now, hypnotize him, and then find out the whereabouts of the grass-type slate.

Instead of fighting with Xingtong, wasting time and energy, it is better to go to the Ice and Snow Sect and see what's going on there.

Bai Sinian's target seems to be the Ice and Snow Sect. It is very likely that both of them will lose in a fight. Now, they might have been able to pick up the pieces in the past. Of course, if they couldn't pick up the pieces, Jiang Yuan would not go up and fight head-on.

Xing Tong seemed to see what Jiang Yuan wanted to do next, and said: "You want to find someone from the Bingxue Sect? I advise you to save it. The Bingxue Sect is very deep, and the sacred object they have is this one."

Weak chicken Xie Mi can't get it at all."

When Xie Mi heard this, his eyes widened fiercely.

Who are you calling a noob?

"The water is deep?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Xing Tong.

"Why are you looking for the holy object?" Xing Tong asked. Even if Jiang Yuan wanted to snatch the stone slab, he didn't seem to have any hostility towards Jiang Yuan.

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

Jiang Yuan replied that as for the deeper reasons, he could not tell them.

"After improving the strength of the elves, what next? Is this your only goal?" 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, and wanted to leave. However, at this moment, Xing Tong's Lizard King suddenly stepped forward, took a step, and stared closely at Jiang Yuan, Lantern Ghost and Xie Mi, ready to attack at any time.

Xing Tong didn’t want Jiang Yuan to leave.

"What do you want to do?"

Jiang Yuan was forced to stop.

He learned from the bald man's memory that Xing Tong had master-level elves in his hands, not just the Lizard King and the Overlord Flower. If Xing Tong really wanted to entangle him for a while, he could still do it.

"Nothing, I just want to ask you a few questions." Xing Tong smiled like a gentle middle-aged uncle.

"that's all?"

"Of course not. If I'm not satisfied with your answer, then I have no choice but to take action. You just wanted to squat on me, and if your answer doesn't suit me, I can't make it easy for you, right?"

"..."

Jiang Yuan didn't reply. His face now had the words "Speak it out quickly and say it out fast" written on his face.

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 this, thought for a moment, and replied: "It can be regarded as enslaving the elves, but there are people who enslave the elves, and there are also people who sincerely make friends with the elves and get along with the elves."

There are no absolutes in this kind of problem of getting along with elves.

"Then which category do you think you belong to, the slavery category or the friendly relationship category?" Xing Tong asked again.

"Half and a half, I have regarded the elves as my own family and treat them sincerely, but at the same time, I also have my own selfish motives. If the word slavery is defined as asking the elves to do things they don't like to do, then I may not be able to do it.

Or at least a little, of course, I generally don’t force them to do anything.” Jiang Yuandao.

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, and it is considered slavery to a certain extent. However, this kind of slavery is a "slavery" that the elves can accept and are willing to do.

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

"Does your elf like to stay with you and trust you completely?" Xing Tong continued.

"That's for sure." Jiang Yuandao.

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

It has never seen such a shameless person.

Jiang Yuan doesn't care, it still prefers to stay with Shiban.

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

"Let's talk about these two points separately. I don't know if my elf will be better off without me. After all, I'm not a fortune teller. As for the elf and human beings separated, overall, I think it should be better.

good."

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

It was a laughter that came from the heart, which made Jiang Yuan feel a little uncomfortable.

After a while, Xing Tong stopped laughing. He stared directly at Jiang Yuan's alpaca mask and sincerely invited: "Are you willing to join our Green Sect? Join us. Your elves can continue to use the power of holy objects.

Get stronger and accomplish 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 emotions were testing his qualifications to enter the green door.

This guy is doing MLM sales.

"Do you want to join?" Xing Tong asked again.

"How many large relics do you have? For example, a relic as big as a wardrobe?"

"No...no."

Xing Tong wanted to slap Jiang Yuan to death.

Do you really think that the sacred object is cabbage on the roadside?

"If you haven't, what else can you say? The question you just asked should be your last question. Then I can go. Goodbye."

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, and then he grabbed the light ghost and released his super power to teleport over short distances.

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

Before Xing finished speaking, the Lizard King and Overlord Flower beside him rushed out.

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

The Lizard King and Overlord Flower were stopped by the elves of Linghua Forest, but Jiang Yuan still moved to the entrance of Jinghu Lake in an instant, very fast. He was here one second, and appeared fifty meters away the next.

Xingtong not only has two master-level elves, the Lizard King and the Overlord Flower, but he also has the Deadwood Demon who is good at hiding. Running slowly is too dangerous.

"Xiemi, there is an elf hidden on the ground to your left, releasing seed flashes."

When Jiang Yuan was halfway through his teleportation, he felt something in his heart and shouted to Xie Mi, who was also running in the direction of Jinghu Lake.
