During the rest, Xu Le closed his eyes and immersed himself in the world of the Soul Tree, trying his best to relax and not think about anything.
This will allow spiritual energy to recover faster.
The blue light on the Soul Tree has become much dimmer than usual, which is a sign of spiritual energy overdraft.
Warlocks can speed up the recovery of psionic energy by meditating and clearing their minds.
It would be better if there was a moon, but it's daytime now.
After the headache symptoms improved, Xu Le began to think about the problems he had encountered before.
Especially the problem of how strange the ancient sounds are.
The strength of Gu Yinduowei varies greatly, and his abilities are endless.
The so-called cross-level challenge is usually difficult to establish.
Most of the time, it takes all the Night's Watchmen to rush forward to deal with a powerful monster.
It's essentially the same this time.
"In the future, I really need to be more restrained."
After combining the Spirit of the Red Moon with the Ancient Sound Soul Tree, the spiritual energy he stored was several times that of a normal warlock.
He had always heard Gan tell him that a warlock should not use up his psychic energy.
Although Xu Le also heard it, he didn't take it seriously.
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 start to review his past use of psychic energy.
"From now on, unless it's a dangerous battle, you must keep your psychic energy above 70%."
…
After recovering some of his spiritual energy, Xu Le first entered the realm of the mother tree. At this time, he was holding the Fang of Light that he had obtained before.
He felt that this should be a useful thing, so he decided to see if he could offer it as a sacrifice first.
Standing in front of the ancient tree, Xu Le began to communicate with the ancient Yinduo tree.
Soon, he got a response.
"Sacrifice, or nourishment?"
Is it really possible
Xu Le was a little surprised. If this thing could be sacrificed.
Its significance itself is equal to that of a relic. I wonder what other effects it will have in the hands of alchemists and rune wizards.
Xu Le had no intention of offering it for nourishment, so he took the Fang of Light back.
I plan to go back and ask the price. If this thing is very valuable, I might as well sell it and buy some relics as sacrifice.
After exiting the Mother Tree Realm, Xu Le's condition undoubtedly seemed to be much better.
Looking at Wang Shu who was injured but still on guard, and then at Gu Jianuo who was waiting silently, Xu Le suddenly asked:
"What kind of research do you do at school?"
Gu Jianuo, who had been silent the whole time, was somewhat slow to react when Xu Le suddenly asked him this question. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Xu Le and said:
“My job is to make puppet materials for my teacher, a rune wizard, and my research is also in this area.
The main aspects are enchantment, precision creation, and power enhancement.
Although I know some knowledge of Potions, I didn't major in it.
What I like most is the research on enchantment, especially when psychic particles guide the seal and are arranged in different orders, they can actually form a similar effect to a spell, which is very magical and I like it very much.
Especially the Creator's Art that I am learning now, its arrangement method is..."
Gu Jianuo told Xu Le a lot of theoretical knowledge like pouring beans. Xu Le didn'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 a sentence.
Gu Jianuo works for a rune wizard.
The legendary puppeteer
Xu Le looked at the Scarecrow of Fate. According to Gan, the psychic's scarecrow was already a very simple method of puppeteering.
It's just not as sophisticated as the Rune Warlock's.
I don't know when I'll have the chance to meet this kind of warlock.
Moreover, could the fact that those people wanted to kill Gu Jianuo have anything to do with this puppet master
As Xu Le listened, he nodded to express his approval to Gu Jianuo.
Gu Jianuo seems to like this way of chatting.
Until Xu Le asked casually:
"Yes, I am an international student from Zion. Life was hard in the past few years, but it's getting better now. Are you from Lighthouse?"
"Yeah, I'm from Lighthouse, eh? What are you doing?"
Gu Jianuo looked at Xu Le who was poking the ground with a small shovel. The ground was full of small holes dug by him, and asked curiously.
Xu Le wrapped a few earthworms in paper and put them in his pocket.
"Oh, I'm digging for earthworms."
“Why do we need to dig for earthworms?”
"Well, you can think of it as a personal hobby."
"Student Xu Le, your hobby is really unique."
"Haha, I thought so too. Are you from the upper city?"
“No, I used to be from the lower city, and later I was promoted by the teacher.”
"Your teacher is very powerful. What's his background?"
"You should know my teacher, right? He is Madam Ju Ya's husband, District B Chief Xiong Zemo, who is also known as District Chief Da Xiong in many people's mouths."
Hearing this, Xu Le's eyes finally narrowed.
Madam Ju Ya wants to kill her husband's apprentice? Interesting.
And Madam Ju Ya was not the only one who wanted to kill District Chief Xiong's apprentice.
"So he is District Chief Xiong's best disciple..."
Wang Shu, who was on guard, suddenly poked him with his scabbard:
"Have you rested?"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Xu Le knew that Wang Shu meant for him not to continue asking questions.
Their energy is too limited. Gu Jianuo is a bit outspoken and says everything. He knows too much about some things, which is not good for both individuals and the team.
Especially when it comes to leadership.
"Well, it's almost time to rest."
"If you've rested enough, we can go."
"good."
The three of them stood up, and when they passed 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 signs of emotion.
"It is a captain's responsibility to ensure the safety of his team members. I will inform the captain of the situation here truthfully."
Xu Le knew very well how complicated Gu Jianuo's situation was.
The more this situation is, the more important it is to hand the information over to someone who is more capable. He is just a rookie night watchman, and there is no benefit for him to hide the information of the incident.
If you hold this information in your hands, you won’t even know how to die.
"I know I should tell the captain the truth. I'm talking about Gu Beichen."
"What happened to Gu Beichen?"
"You know Beichen's personality isn't very good... I think."
Xu Le already understood what Wang Shu meant, and he wanted to hide it from Gu Beichen.
But on this point, he disagreed.
“We are all adults, no one is a child, and no one wants to be another person’s babysitter.
If he can't even tell right from wrong, then he wouldn't be a qualified night watchman."
Wang Shu was silent for a moment.
"I know, but I'm afraid his mental energy will exceed the limit. If that happens, the captain will kill him directly."
Xu Le felt somewhat helpless. As Gu Beichen's de facto bodyguards, Bai Jing and Wang Shu's protection of Gu Beichen was a bit excessive in some aspects.
Gu Beichen’s own identity is also very suspicious.
This is class. In the lighthouse, class is everywhere.
"Forget it, after informing the captain of this matter, let him decide whether to tell Gu Beichen."
When Wang Shu heard Xu Le say this, his eyes suddenly softened.
"Thanks, Xu Le."
"He should thank 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. They did not encounter any strange attacks on the rest of the way.
By 4 p.m., they finally made it through Block 1.
The main reason why they walked so slowly was that the three of them were not in very good condition, especially Wang Shu.
Xu Le's injuries were not serious, and he could recover his spiritual energy during the march.
But Wang Shu is not so good. His injuries are still quite serious, and excessive fatigue will cause his injuries to relapse.
"The inner block is just ahead. I wonder where the captain and his team have expanded to."
Xu Le stood near the team's last camping site. There were still traces of several campfires left here, and it seemed that no living creatures had destroyed it during this period.
Further ahead, there is only a wider circular street.
Of course there are some small paths, but Xu Le and the others don’t plan to go in.
When the two teams of Night Watchmen were to explore the new territory, they would have to follow the main road.
As long as they follow the main road, they will definitely meet Bai Jing and the others.
"Let's go."
As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. The days in mid-August were still very long, and there was no need to turn on the lights even after 7 o'clock.
"We haven't arrived yet? It's getting dark." Gu Jianuo's voice was very low.
However, the streets here had obviously been cleared, and without any sound, Xu Le and Wang Shu could hear it clearly.
“Don’t worry too much, Miss Gu. Normally, exploration in this situation should stop around 6 o’clock.
We have come so far, I believe the captain and his team will not be too far away from us."
"Okay, even if it's dark, it doesn't matter. I won't hold you back."
Gu Jianuo seemed to be expressing his strength, while Xu Le and Wang Shu were also somewhat confused.
The scope of Block 53 should not be particularly large. 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 beside him:
"It should be here soon, don't worry."
Bang! Bang!
The sudden gunshot startled Xu Le and Wang Shu. This sound should be the sound of two shotgun blasts.
"Not far ahead."
"Walk."
The three of them sped up again, and as they got closer, the frequency of the gunshots increased.
"There's a fight ahead."
"At this time, are they still exploring?"
"have no idea."
While the three were moving forward quickly, the two teams in front were struggling with a large number of ghost species.
Some inexperienced members of Team 5 have been controlled by several white ghosts.
The players on Team 6 were also in a tough fight.
I saw a statue charging between the two teams, its power almost unmatched.
Even Zhou Jie and Bai Jing, two level 4 warriors, could not compete with him.
Diao Xiang kicked Bai Jing away, turned around and punched Zhou Jie.
The wind from the fist swept through the air, and Zhou Jie's sword was directly shattered by the fist. In the center of the iron fist, circles of ripples in the shape of water droplets appeared.
Zhou Jie's scalp felt numb. If he was hit by this punch, even if he didn't die, he would be crippled.
"team leader!"
Some members of Team 5 also exclaimed, but just when the 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.
The statue retracted its arm and 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 turned back into its original appearance of a thinker.
"Captain? It actually went back?"
"Yes, I know."
Yes, this statue was originally the statue in the center of the pool in front of the building opposite.
After Bai Jing and Zhou Jie's two teams of night watchmen arrived here, the statue slowly activated and turned into a humanoid weapon.
But what was unexpected was that at this point in time, the statue actually went back and returned to its original appearance.
Without the help of the statue, the white ghosts could no longer resist the charge of the two teams of Night Watchmen.
Especially Gu Beichen and another fire disaster warlock.
Their fireballs raged in the sky, and soon burned all the remaining ghosts to death.
The members of the Night Watch who were controlled by the ghosts also woke up one after another.
Xu Le and the other two happened to see the statue returning, and the result was still a little surprising.
Would a weird person hold back
Is there any meaning in that scene where he looks towards the sunset
Wang Shu glanced at his watch, turned to Xu Le and said:
"Exactly eight o'clock."
8 o'clock? It seems like that person went back because it was already 8 o'clock.
Xu Le didn't continue thinking because Gu Beichen, who was not far away, had already seen them.
At this moment, Gu Beichen was not proud of showing off his warlock's power.
There was only deep worry in his eyes.
That's why after getting rid of the white ghost, he immediately looked in the direction where Xu Le and the others came from.
After seeing that Xu Le's team had only three people and Li Shunliu was not there, Gu Beichen's eyes obviously shook.
He closed his eyes, adjusted his mood, and then walked towards Xu Le and the others.
"Xu Le, where's Shun Liu?"
"She's dead."
The remarks prepared before didn't seem to be of much use at this moment. Facing Gu Beichen's questioning, Xu Le showed no intention of showing weakness.
Because this matter itself is not his fault.
However, he did not directly tell Gu Beichen about Li Shunliu's situation.
This is in response to Wang Shu's request.
"She's dead, why did you come back? What about what you promised me?"
Everyone could hear Gu Beichen's anger. Xu Le closed his eyes and then opened them again.
"You'd better control your mental energy. I'm going to report this mission to the captain now. Please don't stop me."
"you… "
"Beichen, calm down."
Wang Shu directly pushed Gu Beichen away, and Xu Le took this opportunity to walk straight to the end of the street.
"team leader."
Bai Jing has also noticed the problem with Xu Le.
She first turned her head to look at Zhou Jie:
"Captain Zhou, it should be safe here now. I will go deal with the team's problems first, and you should also quickly take care of your team's injuries.
If you have any information, we can exchange it in the evening."
"Okay, no problem. Let's make an appointment for 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 walked one after the other to a corner far away from the crowd. At this distance, they could hardly hear any sound.
"What's going on? Tell me."
"Li Shunliu is a spy sent by someone, and she is tasked with killing Gu Jianuo.
I vaguely discovered this process, but still failed to stop her assassination.
Fortunately, Li Shunliu died, Shu Ge was seriously injured, I was slightly injured and my spiritual energy was overdrawn, and Miss Gu Jianuo was fine."
After hearing Xu Le's report, Bai Jing closed her eyes, pinched her nose and rubbed it hard.
"You said Li Shunliu was a spy sent by someone? Does that mean she is not Madam Ju Ya's person?"
"I did some divination once, and she is definitely not Madam Ju Ya's person, but I am not sure if my divination result is accurate. I was in a very bad condition at the time, and my spiritual energy was almost exhausted."
"So many people want to kill Gu Jianuo. This matter has become complicated. Gu Jianuo...can't get into trouble."
Bai Jing had already judged the outcome of the matter without obtaining much information.
"Does the captain know her identity?"
"Of course I know, but for protection, I didn't tell you. This is to protect her, and it is also to protect you."
Xu Le nodded and immediately asked:
"Captain, what's going on between District Chief Xiong and Madam Ju Ya
They are a couple, but they are fighting among themselves? So which side should we stand on now?"
Bai Jing said without hesitation:
"Stand on Madam Juya's side."
But Xule didn't quite understand:
"Why? She wants to kill Gu Jianuo? Should we help her too?"
"It's not that simple. We certainly can't kill Gu Jianuo, but we also have to stand on the side of Madam Ju Ya."
"What's the meaning?"
Bai Jing shook her head slightly, squatted down and drew two bowls on the ground with a branch.
"Two people met a beggar. One gave money and the other didn't. Which one do you think is the good person?"
Xu Le hesitated for a moment. Was this a test for him
"Although I don't know what the captain means, I still think giving money is a kind gesture."
“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 his superiors.
The one who didn't give money was a strong man who had been hungry for several days and was about to rob someone, but when he saw the beggar's pity, he gave up the robbery.
Now, who is better?"
Hearing this, Xu Le seemed to realize something.
"Captain, do you mean that doing good without considering the consequences is the true good, and that being able to do evil but not doing it is a good person?"
Bai Jing shook her head again and continued:
“If beggars are pretending, giving them money will only lead to more people giving up their work and pretending 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 a final sentence:
“When you can’t tell who is a good person and who is a bad person, whoever treats you well is the good person.”
