Guardian of the Spirit

"Who are you?"

Jiang Yuan turned around and stared at the person who just spoke. This was a young man who looked about the same age as him.

The young man looks handsome, has a sunny smile on his face, and is wearing casual clothes. His whole person is full of youthful vitality, quite like his first love in school days.

"My name is Mu Chen."

Young people report their family status.

Mu Chen is different from other ordinary afterimages. Like the little girl, Jiang Yuan can hear what he says.

Jiang Yuan was not sure whether Mu Chen was a phantom or a real modern person, but he still reported his name. After all, there was no hostility in the other party.

"Hey, hello, hello."

Mu Chen smiled and greeted.

"You just said that time and space are disrupted, so you are a person from another time and space?"

Jiang Yuan stopped talking nonsense to Mu Chen and went straight to the key points.

"Eh?"

Mu Chen lowered his head and glanced at his clothes, then looked at Jiang Yuan, wondering: "How did you tell?"

He put on modern clothes, learned the language of the era, and spoke it fluently.

There is no reason for Jiang Yuan to see that he does not belong to this era.

"Do you still need to read this? Just take a bold guess and you'll know."

Jiang Yuan said speechlessly.

Mu Chen can speak modern languages, but his accent is always a little different, giving him a strong sense of dissonance.

In addition, Mu Chen can say that time and space are disrupted, and Jiang Yuan relied on his ability to predict and divergent thinking to guess his origin.

"Ahem."

Mu Chen smiled awkwardly.

Obviously, Jiang Yuan guessed correctly.

"What era are you from?"

Jiang Yuan asked.

"Keep guessing, I don't believe you can guess it again."

Mu Chen smiled.

"I can't guess. By the way, do you know what the situation is like in this place?"

Jiang Yuan gave up guessing. How could he guess at such irrational things? He was not a god.

"Hey, it turns out you don't know, so I won't tell you."

Mu Chen showed a very exaggerated expression of surprise, looking particularly in need of a beating.

Jiang Yuan: "???"

Old Yin Yang is so angry that he wants to give him a fight.

"Hey, I'm kidding you. I know the general situation, but I'm not particularly clear. In short, if you encounter a suspicious little gang, just beat them to death."

"I want to remind you of something. I suggest you restrain your elf and don't let the elf use its tricks at will. Otherwise, it will easily attract the attention of others. That's how I was attracted."

"It's good to meet me. If you meet those people, tsk tsk...hey, they're already here. Just wish yourself well."

After Mu Chen finished speaking, he waved his hand and disappeared in front of Jiang Yuan.

Of course, Mu Chen didn't really disappear. He just teleported to a nearby supermarket and looked at these products he had never seen before just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.

"Is someone coming?"

Jiang Yuan immediately noticed that a group of people was coming towards him in a menacing manner.

Needless to say, Jiang Yuan, Crystal Lantern, Latios, Hua Beibei, and even Gengar in the shadow are ready to fight.

As long as the opponent doesn't have any elves above the Heavenly King level, they can fight back no matter how many times they come.

"Don't worry, let's hide in the shop and wait and see to see where they come from."

Jiang Yuan raised his hand to stop the elves from fighting.

The surroundings are full of incorporeal pedestrians and elves. If they don't attack or have physical contact with other people, they won't be discovered by others.

They don't know the details of this strange space yet, so it would be irrational to rashly fight with each other, so it's better to play it safe.

If you can't do it, try not to do it. If you do, go all out and leave no one alive.

A few minutes later, five men in very retro clothes came over.

Among the countless pedestrians and elves, five men stood out, and you could tell at a glance that they were different from the others.

These five men were walking like a tiger, wearing thin armor, and there were large and small scars on their skin outside the armor. They did not look like good people.

Their temperament is so special that it is difficult for others to ignore them.

"The small gang Mu Chen mentioned should be these people."

Jiang Yuan took back Hua Beibei and Crystal Lantern Huoling, and hid in the crowd with Latios in human form, secretly observing the five people.

"There have just been multiple big explosions here. Now the humans and elves have all disappeared. It was not the work of our own people."

The muscular man in the lead glanced around and surmised through clues.

"There is a very strong ghost energy remaining on the ground. The ghost elves that left behind this energy are extremely powerful and can pose a great threat to us."

Another man stepped forward to check and analyze.

"Spread ghost exorcism powder immediately and pay attention to the shadows around you and under your feet. This ghost-type elf may not have left yet!"

The muscular man immediately ordered.

"yes!"

The other four people responded loudly, and then they took out a small cloth bag from the small backpack they carried.

The four people opened the small cloth bags and sprinkled gray powder on the ground.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Jiang Yuan and Latios used their super powers to eavesdrop and looked confused.

This is not modern language at all, they can’t understand it!

Although he didn't understand what they were talking about, Jiang Yuan didn't gain anything at all. He found that the powder sprinkled by these people looked familiar.

"That seems to be ghost exorcism powder."

Jiang Yuan smelled the smell of the powder.

In ancient times, humans who were afraid of ghost elves would collect various herbs that ghost elves hated, grind these herbs into powder, add special medicinal materials, and prepare a powder that ghost elves hated.

At a certain time in ancient times, humans regarded ghost elves as man-eating demons and monsters, and the powder used to drive away ghost elves was naturally called ghost-repelling powder.

The effect of ghost exorcism powder is similar to that of irritating items such as toilet water and realgar, and is specially used to force ghost elves to leave.

Ghost exorcism powder may not have toxins, but disgusting ghost elves definitely have it.

"These people are very sophisticated in what they do. They even have ghost exorcism fans, like elf hunters."

Jiang Yuan used his superpower to block the smell so as not to affect the Gengar in the shadow, and then judge the identity of this group of people.

Here, Jiang Yuan was still watching, but over there, after the five people sprinkled the ghost-repelling powder, they released their own elves directly without any ink marks and began to carpet bomb the surrounding areas.

"The enemy may be hiding here. Anyway, they are just remnants of the past. Just blast them away."

The leading muscular man commanded.

If there is an afterimage that has not disappeared, the other party is their enemy!

"How cruel."

Mu Chen, who was still wandering in the supermarket, saw something was wrong and used teleportation again to leave the illusory Fengqi City.

"Walk."

Jiang Yuan also chose to leave.

Before he figured out the situation, he didn't want to fight with others to avoid causing more trouble.

After quietly leaving Fengqi City, Jiang Yuan released Crystal Lantern Huo Ling and Hua Beibei who didn't like being in the elf ball.

"What to do next?"

Latios had no idea what to do next.

There are countless questions in its mind that it wants to clarify.

What is this place?

What's going on with the afterimages of human elves walking on the street? Is this place really out of time and space?

Who are Mu Chen and those five people, and why are they here.

"We now have two options. One, sneak attack on those five people and capture any one of them for interrogation. They should know what is going on in this place."

"Two, go to the forest where Celebi lives. I think there will be the answer we want there."

"Compared to the first option, I think the second option is more reliable."

Jiang Yuan calmly thought about what to do next.

If Mu Chen didn't lie to him, then Celebi should be the one who caused the chaos in time and space.

By finding Celebi, all the mysteries can be solved, and it just so happens that the purpose of their trip is Celebi.

The location where Celebi appeared by Xiao Xing was in a small forest near the Yincheng Forest, so Jiang Yuan followed the map and rushed to the Yincheng Forest first.

Jiang Yuan didn't know that the space he was currently in was different from the space in the original world, so he couldn't be sure whether Celebi could be found in the Orange Forest here.

Everything can only be left to fate.

…

When Latios flew near the Orange Forest, the explosion sound of the collision of moves came from the woods below.

Accompanied by the violent explosion, the trees fell to the ground in a mess, as if they had been swept by a typhoon.

It was better to be uprooted by the powerful air waves. Some trees were split into several sections by sharp blades, or even burned by flames until not even ashes were left, leaving no intact corpses.

The trees in this forest seem to be different from the phantoms of humans and elves in Fengqi City. These trees have entities and will be destroyed when attacked.

"There is a battle between elves, let's watch the show in hiding."

Jiang Yuan directed Latios to fly down and hide in the woods.

After a while, three men in ragged clothes and a few elves ran towards this side.

The three of them were covered in blood and looked terrified. They kept looking back, and there seemed to be some kind of terrifying monster following behind them.

When he ran within three meters of Jiang Yuan and the hiding place of the elves, one of the men's face changed drastically and he hurriedly shouted: "There is an ambush, retreat quickly!"

"ha?"

Jiang Yuan and the elves were immediately stunned.

They couldn't understand the man's words, but it was obvious that they had been discovered.

They hid so well and even used their superpowers to block their own existence. There was no reason for these three people to notice their existence.

As soon as the other two heard what the man said, they quickly retreated and shouted in unison: "Attack!"

The elves following the three of them immediately launched a fierce attack.

The Crossed Bat flapped its wings, and the violent hurricane blew down all the surrounding trees in an instant. At the same time, sharp blades of air swung out from under the Crossed Bat's wings.

The cross-shaped bat took the lead in attacking, followed closely by the other two elves.

The Overlord Flower sprays out colorless and odorless poisonous spores. Once the surrounding flowers, plants and trees come into contact with the poisonous spores, they are instantly dyed yellow, wither and die at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Nidoking stepped heavily on the ground, countless sand and stones were blown away, and the sky was filled with gray dust.

Latios immediately released his super power to block the attack.

Bang!!!

The air blades, poisonous spores, and sand and dust all hit the superpower barrier set up by Latios.

After being hit, and under the deliberate guidance of Latios, some of the moves bounced back. The three of them and their elves hurriedly stepped back for fear of being hit by the moves.

"They are all master-level elves. They are not particularly strong. They can train Mimikyu and Kuchiki."

Jiang Yuan stopped the Crystal Lantern Fire Spirit, who was a little unable to bear the fight, and released Mimikyu and the Kuchiki Demon.

When the crystal lantern fire spirit goes up, it's completely a trick for a kid. It's better to let Mimikyu and Kuchiki demon practice.

After their strength reached the master level, they haven't had much actual combat yet, so it's a good time for them to show off their new powers.

As for Death's Coffin, the New Youth Competition has had enough actual combat experience, and it has no shortage of actual combat experience.

As soon as the Kuchiki Demon came out of the elf ball, its huge white body directly occupied the sight of everyone and all the elves on the other side.

The unparalleled sense of oppression brought about by this size made the opponent's three three elves completely breathless.

"This... what the hell is this! Is this the Kuchiki Demon?!"

The three of them were stunned on the spot for a moment.

How come there is a rotten wood demon of this size, and it is still white? Could it be Celebi’s guard?!

They have seen countless big scenes, but the shock the Kuchiki Demon gave them today can definitely be ranked in the top five.

"roar--"

The dead wood demon took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar.

This roar made the eardrums of the three people and three elves hurt, and the wind blowing was much stronger than the wind created by the Crossed Bat just now.

Not to mention humans, even the heavyweight elf Nidoking is a little unsteady.

"Nidoking, the power of the earth!"

"Cross-shaped bat, air slash!"

"Overlord flower, petals dance!"

The rotten wood demon exudes such an astonishing aura. If any ordinary person had stood in front of the rotten wood demon, they would have been frightened to the point of weakening their legs.

However, the three of them were able to suppress the fear in their hearts and issue attack orders. They were in a very good state of mind.

However, having a good attitude is of little use. Fighting relies on the hard power of the elves.

Without Jiang Yuan's command, the rotten wood demon performs its moves on its own.

Countless sharp dark green vines rushed out of the ground and stabbed at the vital parts of the three elves at the same time without mercy.

Bang bang bang!!!

The three elves' moves collided with the rotten wood demon's vines, and many of the vines were blasted into countless pieces on the spot.

All the elves took action, and Mimikyu was not idle either. It sneaked into the shadow and used its shadow-transformed ghost hands to quietly wrap around the legs of Nidoking and Overlord Flower.

Before they had time to react, Mimikyu pulled them both into the shadow with a sudden force.

Then, Mimikyu Q performed a round of dog-fighting with the door closed. It hid in the shadows, threw several shadow balls with its backhand and cursed them, and Nidoking and the Overlord Flower were immediately blown up into the sky.

Shadow Claw!

Seeing all three elves in the air, the dead wood demon raised its two dead white arms.

Ghost-type energy gathered, and two five-meter-wide black claws instantly appeared in mid-air.

boom!!!

The giant claw that covered the sky and the sun struck down. Except for the flying elf Crossbat, the flightless Nidoking and the Overlord Flower were not able to escape this heavy blow.

It's not that they can't dodge attacks in mid-air, but Mimikyu and Kuchiki's attacks are too fast and their coordination is so tacit that they have no time to react.
