When she heard Xu Le's description, completely overlapping people immediately appeared in her mind...
Zhang Ji!
The first is strong strength.
As a level 5 warlock, Zhang Ji's strength is absolutely unquestionable. In any city, a level 5 warlock is extremely powerful.
Then in terms of status, Zhang Ji has a high social status in Tianrui Lifeng.
He is a gang leader himself, and also works part-time as an investigator for Red Moon Temple spies.
According to Chi Xiao's understanding, Zhang Ji fully meets the three conditions mentioned by Xu Le.
It's very likely him.
In addition, during the previous meeting, Zhang Ji's ears shook very regularly, making him look like a bug.
In other words, a person possessed by a bug.
"Do you remember the guy you met at the beef noodle restaurant?"
Xu Le certainly remembered that fruit of free development... but he didn't know what happened to it.
He could feel from afar that the power was still there. Could it have been eaten by someone
However, the distance was not close enough, so he had no way of judging the other party's exact location.
"Of course I remember, Xu Daqiang, a mercenary."
"No, I'm not talking about him."
"Uh?" Xu Le was a little confused.
"That mercenary might have been killed, and the person who killed him is the one I was talking about."
Xu Le immediately remembered the exemption that day.
In addition to Xu Daqiang, he also met Chi Xiao walking with a man.
However, Xu Le didn't take this matter to heart at all and didn't pay special attention to that person.
But now, there is something wrong with what Chi Xiao said.
"That Xu Daqiang was killed by the guy you mentioned?"
"There is no direct evidence, and I don't have time to find it. Anyway, that aura is now on him."
"What does this have to do with the bug thing?"
"This man is called Zhang Ji. After he received that aura, he showed some strange reactions. For example, his ears began to vibrate at a high frequency, like insect wings."
Xu Le was stunned for a moment. Anyone who ate the fruit would have the characteristics of an insect
That's impossible, it doesn't make sense!
At that time, he was always paying close attention to the growth of the fruit.
However, it is also true that I went to Night Fury once during that period.
But the fruit contained a dark aura, and because there were traces of Chi Xiao's battle nearby, it also possessed the power of gray.
With darkness and ash corroding each other, it is impossible for a bug-like thing to be born...
"are you sure?"
"You think I'm lying?"
"That's not what I meant."
"But your tone just now was full of distrust."
"All right."
Xu Le was a little puzzled at this time. What Chi Xiao described was completely unreasonable.
But she really had no reason to lie to herself, so what was going on
"I already know what you are talking about. So should we go find this person first, the one called Zhang Ji?"
"I can't find him. Although I can sense his presence, his aura seems a little erratic. I can only feel that he is in this city."
Xu Le was even more surprised when he heard Chi Xiao say this.
Because he felt the same way about the fruit.
It is erratic, but the specific location of the information cannot be pinpointed.
Is this a coincidence
Or did this Zhang Ji use some ability or means to block the perception of both of them
Xu Le didn't think it was a big deal that his perception was blocked, because he was just a level 4 noob.
As long as your level is higher than his, it is normal for you to be blocked.
Xu Le knew that he was not good at cooking.
But he has a friend who is level 7, so he’s better than him, admit it.
But if he is more powerful than Chi Xiao, then there will be some problems...
According to Chi Xiao’s current level of strength, if one wants to block Chi Xiao’s perception, the opponent must at least be of the same level, right
Another legendary master of Tianrui Lifeng
"Is that Zhang Ji also a level 7 legend?"
"No, he's level 5."
Hearing Chi Xiao's answer, Xu Le raised his head slightly.
Level 5, that’s fine, garbage, although he is not level 5 yet.
"Since there is no way to find him now, let's go to the Danong Pond first."
"Can."
…
Danong Pond is located in the northwest of Tianrui Lifeng.
Because of the population problems of the four major city-states, each city has a similar reservoir.
To avoid situations like drought.
The water sources here are guarded by someone, and each city has its own guards. Tianrui Lifeng was previously guarded by the old government, and now it is guarded by a coalition of specialized gangs.
The water source cannot be drunk directly because it is easily contaminated.
Therefore, the water here is mostly used for emergencies. Even if it really needs to be used, it must be purified and cleaned twice.
Chi Xiao led the way, while Xu Le brought his family and cat with him.
Seeing Xu Le bringing other people over, Chi Xiao frowned slightly.
However, she soon witnessed Rewi's professionalism in intelligence and search.
From a distance, she can spot rare bugs hiding around the pool and quickly sort and bottle them.
It was only at this moment that Chi Xiao realized that all the previous samples were made by Ai Li alone.
"Sure enough, no one should be underestimated."
"That's true. Every profession has its own specialty."
"Is this her ability?"
"Well, it's the characteristics of the Dog-type Fruit, but she has already used her abilities to the fullest."
"I see."
After praising Ai Li, the two walked to the edge of the Danong Pond.
Standing here, there were already vigilant patrol officers checking on them.
Needless to say, it's understandable. Usually, not many people come here, but now suddenly a few people appear, acting sneakily and pointing fingers.
It is easy to cause misunderstandings from others.
"Is this the place?"
Xu Le kicked a stone and it fell accurately into the pool.
The water here is quite clear and doesn't look like stagnant water. But I don't know where the inlet and outlet are if it is running water.
“Da Nong Pond is a very ancient place. My teacher told me before that part of the light-cast torso that Tianrui Lifeng sealed was here.
But I'm not sure which part of the Lightforge it is."
"It doesn't matter which part it is. We won't be using it. As long as we can make sure it's here, that's enough."
"I can be sure of that."
Xu Le nodded. He tried to use the Soul Tree to sense the place, but the hazy power blocked his perception.
This hazy feeling should be the seal.
If it can block the close-range perception of the Soul Tree, then it is very likely that the perception of the Ancient Sound Tree can be blocked as well.
Because of this, Gu Yinduocai needs to communicate with the insects, unite, and instruct the insects to come here to find the remaining parts of the Lightcast for it.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Seeing Xu Le silent, Chi Xiao took the initiative to ask.
After all, this is her territory, and her strength is much stronger than Xu Le.
If there was anything that needed to be done, she could do it with just her forehand or backhand.
But Xu Le just shook his head:
"There are no clues. We still have to wait for feedback from Ai Li."
"OK."
Chi Xiao did not continue to urge them. The two of them just observed and waited for Ai Li's result.
This process is undoubtedly very long.
Xu Le felt a little bored after waiting for a while, so he turned his head to look at Chi Xiao beside him:
"If I summon a monster here, will I be arrested on the spot by Tianrui Lifeng's people?"
Chi Xiao looked at Xu Le with some confusion. After thinking for a while, she remembered Xu Le's ability.
A lot of it is about weird summons.
So... is he trying to summon something weird here? Or is Gu Yin just that weird
"Are you going to summon a monster?"
"In this case, if we can summon some monsters to cooperate with us, it will definitely be more efficient than waiting like this."
"I think you'd better not do that."
"Forehead?"
“The people of Tianrui Lifeng have a strong dislike for weirdness. Because the level of involvement in battles is high, weirdness is a clear enemy to everyone here.
Then there is the sorcerer's method of summoning monsters, which is usually only used by the people of the Red Moon Temple.
The people of the Red Moon Temple are also enemies to Tianrui Lifeng.
If you use Taboo Warlock and summon a freak, that's a serious enemy among the enemies."
Xu Le's mouth twitched:
"You stacked up the buffs, didn't you?"
"What's the meaning?"
"fine."
Xu Le shook his head helplessly. Since he couldn't summon monsters, he could only resort to some other means.
"If we can't summon monsters, then we can only use some unconventional means. I don't know if it will destroy the topography here."
"Just don't make too much noise." Chi Xiao said.
"I'll try my best."
Xu Le pressed his palms to the ground.
Ever since he came to Tianrui Lifeng, no, it should be earlier... At the end of the Lighthouse Incident, he gradually changed from a simple Ancient Sound Taboo Warlock to the Soul Tree Taboo Warlock.
Darkness, life, or the control, guidance, and influence of living things.
These abilities became more useful and practical as he gained a better understanding of his own career system.
As a result, Xu Le's combat system and ordinary warlocks have embarked on a completely different path.
So Xu Le sometimes wonders what his combat system should be based on
Cards related to fate? Or the powerful force of darkness? Or the soul tree dormant in the spiritual world
Many people have no choice in their path to promotion.
There is only one way.
But the problem Xu Le faced was that he had too many paths to choose from and was overwhelmed.
The only thing to do now is to select a path that best suits him from among the many systems.
This process is actually a bit difficult to decide...
The main reason is that Xu Le himself feels that all his abilities are quite useful, and he wants to major in them all, which is too difficult...
"Tree of Souls - Dead Roots!"
Under the stimulation of Xu Le's spiritual power, Chi Xiao felt the earth shaking and something piercing into the ground.
Judging from the spell he just released, it should be some kind of plant ability.
He shouldn't have had this ability before. Did it start from the time at the lighthouse
"Dead roots... the ability to control plants? Your abilities are becoming more and more numerous, and more and more bizarre."
"Well, it's actually okay. It's just an expansion of the previous ability to create fruits."
Xu Le didn't know how to explain his abilities, mainly because he himself felt that he had too many abilities.
Chi Xiao stepped on the ground and felt the movement beneath the earth.
This should be the ability released by Xu Le acting beneath the ground.
"What now?"
"I may need a moment now, give me a moment."
Searching the Tree of Souls underground is Xu Le's only relatively covert method of collecting information.
Not long after, Xu Le's expression changed a little...
There are too many bugs underground...
These insects come in all shapes and sizes, densely climbing around the large agricultural pond, in every corner and every crevice.
Even the mole's nest hidden next to the pool was crawling with bugs.
Needless to say, the mole inside had become a skeleton, with nothing left.
Chi Xiao noticed the change in Xu Le's expression and asked:
"What's going on?"
"There are bugs all over here. There are too many of them."
“If this is the case, can we be sure that the previous judgment was correct
Is there really what they are looking for under this pool?"
"You could say that."
Relying on the powerful search range of the Soul Tree's roots, Xu Le quickly determined the approximate location of these insect clusters.
Although these insects were also curious about the plants that Xu Le extended, at the moment, they had no intention of launching an attack.
Xu Le didn't do anything.
"I have to keep watching their positions..."
The branches continued to extend, and Xu Le's spiritual power was fully demonstrated at this time.
Relying on the nourishment of spiritual energy, he has extended the branches to all around, even to the point of covering the entire pool.
Chi Xiao on the side was a little surprised at this time.
How could a normal 4th level warlock... possibly do this
The spiritual energy emanating from Xu Le, which was the spiritual energy he had just used up, had already reached 10-15 times that of an ordinary level 4 warlock.
What's even more outrageous is that Xu Le didn't blush or feel nervous at this moment.
Just like a normal person.
For a 4th-level warlock to possess such a total amount of psychic energy is simply outrageous, it is simply abnormal.
And looking at Xu Le's current appearance, this is definitely not the total amount of his spiritual energy.
The more Xu Le investigated, the more outrageous it seemed.
“These bugs have covered every corner of the pool, but as of now, they haven’t found the Lightforged body.
Of course, I didn’t find it either. The pool was so small that there was no place to hide.
This makes no sense given the size that lightforged limbs should have.
Judging from the insects' behavior, they don't seem to be in any deeper places..."
Xu Le briefly explained the current situation to Chi Xiao.
Chi Xiao also pinched his chin.
Start thinking…
Thinking...
Give up thinking...
"I think we can set fire to this pool."
Xu Le: …
"What about the water?"
"Just evaporate the water."
