Guardian of the Spirit

When Jiang Yuan agreed to help the three of them complete these tasks, he said hello in advance that if there was any external interference during the process, he would do as much as he could.

Therefore, only sending those souls back to the west without destroying Yegui Island is the most perfect solution.

"As long as it doesn't destroy the island."

Latios breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Latios was more worried that after destroying Night Ghost Island, they would be attacked by the homeless, sad and angry elves on the island.

They are too weak to defeat this group of elves!

It would be best if we could handle this matter in a compromise and not fight the elves.

After the discussion, Jiang Yuan continued to move deeper into Yegui Island.

"Help……"

Suddenly, a faint cry for help came from a distance.

Ordinary people may not be able to hear it, but Jiang Yuan is a person with super powers and his five senses are stronger than ordinary people. In addition, the depth of the forest is too quiet, so the cry for help is extremely clear.

"Is there anyone?"

Jiang Yuan's black question mark face.

Is this really a forbidden place where demigod-level elves will perish?

The demigod-level big-billed gull just now has lived on the island since he was a child, knows some of the formations of Yegui Island, and has enough strength to appear here intact. It is not surprising.

But how do humans do it?

In the hinterland of Yegui Island, there are not only various formations with extremely lethal power, but also poisonous plants planted by Lunai Lai as part of the formations.

These poisonous plants have absorbed the power of poison-type slates and are extremely poisonous. The poisonous powder they emit can easily poison demigod-level elves who have no means of dealing with them.

"Haha~"

Go and have a look.

"Bi~"

Yes, go check it out.

The two "old monsters" talked to each other.

Hua Beibei wants to bring Celebi more insights and enrich her experience.

Save someone in distress, and maybe that person will repay you with kindness, which can make the innocent (?) Celebi become more thoughtful.

The old mother Hua Beibei was worried about her son Celebi.

Celebi didn't have any opinions, and Hua Beibei said whatever she said.

Jiang Yuan originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when he learned about Hua Beibei's thoughts, he immediately changed his mind.

Hua Beibei's idea is very good. If this person is a white-eyed wolf, Celebi can feel the danger of the human heart in advance.

If this person is not a white-eyed wolf, then he can teach Celebi a lesson about gratitude.

No matter what the result is, it is full of educational significance.

Perfect!

Changing his plan temporarily, Latios flew towards the place where the cry for help came from.

The owner of the voice was obviously trapped in the formation. Jiang Yuan used his super power to push aside the formation and clear the way for Latios.

"After being trapped in such a deep place and still not dead, this guy must be a super newbie, Xiaozhi's direct disciple."

Jiang Yuan complained.

"Help...help..."

As Latios got closer, the cry for help became clearer and louder.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the ground and saw a young man in ragged clothes and messy hair leaning against a big tree.

The cry for help came from his mouth.

When the young man saw someone coming, his eyes opened slightly and he was so excited that he could not speak.

"I'll go, it's a bit miserable."

Jiang Yuan shook his head.

It's not a bit miserable, it's terrible.

Next to the young man were the corpses of several elves. Just by looking at the degree of decomposition of the corpses, it could be judged that they had just died.

These elves didn't have a good piece of meat on their bodies, and they didn't know what happened to them before they died.

The ground was covered with bloodstains. In addition to the elf corpses, there were also dirty backpacks, tattered clothes and some odds and ends.

The elves were all dead, so the young man was not much better. He was also injured all over his body and was covered with bandages.

Some injured areas even emitted a rotten stench and were visited by insects and ants, making the scene particularly permeable.

The young man was already half-buried, with only his last breath left.

Probably because he was about to die, the young man pinned his last hope on vain calls for help. After all, under normal circumstances, no one would exist inside Yegui Island.

As for the big-billed gull, it had seen too many humans die due to being trapped in the formation, so it was impossible to save them.

"Save him first."

Jiang Yuan motioned to Latios to treat the young man.

Latios stepped forward and used the healing wave to heal the wounds on the young man that it was capable of treating.

Skin injuries are easy to treat, but when it comes to detoxification, Latios is not good at it.

The young man inhaled a lot of pollen from poisonous plants. For too long, the toxins had already penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and it could not be cured without using grass-based slates.

"Thanks……"

The young man took a look at the healed wounds on his body and thanked him in a hoarse voice.

"Let's eat something first."

Jiang Yuan threw a bottle of mineral water and a piece of bread to the young man, asking him to replenish his strength.

The young man took the food and ate it hungrily. He even cried while eating. Maybe he was moved to tears because of the aftermath of the disaster.

After eating and regaining some strength, the young man begged Jiang Yuan in a low voice: "My benefactor, can you take me out of here? I beg you."

That helpless tone was quite like that of a little girl with a miserable life experience.

"Of course, but I will only leave with the original owner of this body."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said words that made people's hair stand on end.

As a person with superpowers who specializes in studying souls and often deals with souls, Jiang Yuan is very familiar with souls.

It is easy to determine whether the soul currently controlling the body is the original soul of this body.

Latios and Hua Beibei stared at the young man quietly without any expression, but Celebi turned to look at Jiang Yuan with a confused look on his face.

The original owner of this body?

Is that what it means?

When the young man heard this, he was stunned and said blankly: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand it at all?"

"If you don't want to take me away, you can just say that I can accept it."

The young man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. His pitiful and sensible appearance made people feel very distressed. People who didn't know better would definitely think that he was a girl with short hair.

"Hey, let me tell you, you are an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, and you are doing such a miserable job with a young body. Don't you feel panicked?"

"And it seems that you are a woman. It's really disgusting to use a man's body to make you cry, and to do this kind of thing."

Jiang Yuan said something disgusting and backed away.

On the way to Yegui Island, Jiang Yuan had seen the secret technique given by Lunai Lai, and he knew very well how the soul affected by the secret technique would behave.

After a little induction, Jiang Yuan knew that the soul that had taken away the young man's body was the soul of the evil man imprisoned by Lunai Lai.

The expression on the young man's face froze.

Is her acting so disgusting?

Knowing that he couldn't pretend anymore, the young man's face suddenly darkened and he said coldly: "How do you know that I have lived for thousands of years?"

She didn't care how Jiang Yuan found out that she was not the original owner of this body, she was more concerned about why Jiang Yuan could determine her age.

She doesn't know Jiang Yuan, how does Jiang Yuan know that she has lived for thousands of years?

Unless...it has something to do with that person.

"Of course I learned about it from Runeira."

Afraid that the translation of the ancient name would have different meanings from the current name, Jiang Yuan specifically explained: "He is the owner of this island, the person who imprisons your souls."

"Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!"

Jiang Yuan's words were like a fuse, completely detonating the gunpowder barrel. With a ferocious expression, the young man picked up a knife next to him and slashed hard.

"Compare!"

careful!

Celebi's entire elf jumped up.

It knew Jiang Yuan could stop the young man, but it was still very nervous.

Hua Beibei: Beautiful, I really got stabbed in the back.

Bang!

The invisible superpower blocked the young man and pushed him back, hitting him against the edge of a big tree.

"Lunailai...Lunailai...Lunailai, die, die, die!!!"

The young man was shouting hysterically, with his teeth and claws twitching, like a patient who had just escaped from a mental hospital.

"Lunailei has been dead for a long time."

Jiang Yuan said, raised his hand, spread his fingers, and pointed it at the young man's head.

Light blue fluorescence fell on the young man, and his superpower tightly wrapped his head, extracting a dim ball of light.

This light group seized the soul of the young man's body.

As soon as the foreign soul leaves, the body loses control and automatically collapses.

"Dead? Is he dead? We didn't die but he died? Why didn't he survive? As long as he is willing, he will definitely survive."

"Ha, I understand. He must have done too many bad things and was retaliated against, leaving his body intact."

"A good death, a wonderful death. God is wise and finally accepted this damn guy."

The woman didn't care about her current situation at all, and her curses came from the light group in the form of telepathy.

For her, there is nothing happier than the death of Lunai.

The resentment accumulated for thousands of years was released.

“It’s so noisy.”

The woman either scolded or laughed, and she was completely a lunatic with abnormal mental state. Jiang Yuan was too lazy to listen to a lunatic and refused to use telepathy, so that he could not hear the woman's voice.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan turned his attention to the unconscious young man, reached out and touched his forehead, and used his superpower to help his soul return to its original place.

Once the body is occupied by a foreign soul, the original soul will be separated from the body and lose contact.

Even if the foreign soul leaves, people who are not mentally strong enough will not be able to let their soul regain control of the body.

If you want to regain control of your body, you need external help.

The young man slowly opened his eyes, but he could only look at Jiang Yuan. Although his soul had returned to his body, he could not say a word and his body could not move.

"Don't worry, your soul hasn't completely merged with your body yet. It will be fine in a few minutes," Jiang Yuandao said.

The young man wanted to nod, but he couldn't move and couldn't respond to Jiang Yuan's words.

While waiting for the young man to speak, Jiang Yuan took control of the woman's soul and began to torture the prisoner.

"Hey, how did you escape? Aren't your souls imprisoned in the poisonous pool?"

"Want to know? I just won't tell you. What can you do to me? The worst case scenario is to kill me. Anyway, I'm tired of living long ago. I can be freed by death."

"If you want to torture my soul to force me and threaten me, then I can only say that you are too naive and this method is useless."

"Having been soaked in a poisonous pool for thousands of years, I have long been familiar with the pain of my soul being eroded, and I am not afraid of torture."

"Come on, I want to see if you can pry my mouth open."

The woman was very tough-talking and said absolutely everything. She even provoked Jiang Yuan. Her attitude was extremely arrogant and she had no consciousness of being a prisoner.

So what if Jiang Yuan is a superpower? She is not afraid of boiling water.

"Very good. I like to be tough-talking, so that I can save myself the effort of talking nonsense."

Jiang Yuan's eyes flashed with red light, and the vast spiritual power like a river invaded the woman's broken soul, searching for recent memories.

After the investigation, Jiang Yuan figured out the reason why the woman appeared here.

Thousands of years have passed, and the seal used by Runeira to suppress the souls of evil people has become very weak.

These evil souls try their best to hit the seal and weaken the power of the seal.

With unremitting efforts, they made a small gap.

A few people with stronger souls escaped from the gap despite the seal, and this woman was one of them.

Due to the state of the soul, the woman cannot move long distances, let alone leave Yegui Island, and can only face death.

At least death is a relief for her.

Runeile's secret method can keep the soul immortal, but there are many restrictions. The soul can only be kept immortal when it is not attacked by external forces.

Otherwise, the longer the soul lives, the more fragile it becomes, just like a bubble, it will burst with a light poke.

When she was about to die, she met a dying young man who was trapped in the formation.

The young man was just an ordinary person, seriously injured and hungry and cold, so the woman easily suppressed his unconsciousness and took control of his body.

Unfortunately, the young man was about to die, and the desperate woman could only use the most crude method to ask for help.

Then, I met Jiang Yuan.

"ah!!!"

As soon as Jiang Yuan's spiritual power retreated, the woman screamed heartbreakingly.

Exploring the memory inside the soul will cause irreversible damage to a soul that has been surviving for thousands of years.

Amid the screams, the light of the woman's soul gradually dimmed, and finally turned into soul fragments, dissipating between heaven and earth.

"Huh, apart from this person, there are four more people who ran out. We need to work hard to catch them back."

Jiang Yuan expressed that he was tired.

Things that could have been solved quickly became complicated when this was done. Fortunately, these souls couldn't run far away.

"I……"

"I...well..."

"I... seem... to be able to speak..."

The young man on the side opened his mouth and spoke intermittently, like a child learning to speak with unclear words.

Jiang Yuan squatted in front of him and asked, "What is your name?"

"Qin, Qinchu."

"Why did you break into the depths of Night Ghost Island to seek death?"

Jiang Yuan continued.

There are two types of people who come to Yegui Island.

The first category is people who accidentally come to the island and don’t know what the situation is like on Night Ghost Island.

The second category is other people who come to Yegui Island on their own and enter the depths of the island.

There is a clear dividing point between the outer and inner areas of Yegui Island. If you step into the inner area, you will be attacked by formations.

Generally speaking, when being attacked by a formation and encountering danger, even those who don't know this island will quickly retreat to the outskirts of Yegui Island rather than break into the formation and die.

Therefore, none of the people who entered the depths of Yegui Island were innocent, they all deliberately sought death.
