soul seeker

Xiaoguang and Yingchen at the door kept pressing their thumbs against the red ring very nervously, their whole bodies were so stiff that they were about to tremble.

"It's so tiring..." Yingchen glanced at Xiaoguang.

"Persevere, the inside should be done soon, and even if you escape, it doesn't have to be the gate. Be cold and calm."

"Ah yes, hehehe..."

Just when Yingchen was laughing dryly, the door was suddenly knocked open, and two evil spirits rushed out with a "snap". The nervous two didn't even have time to activate the red ring, and the evil spirits disappeared before their eyes.

Relieved, Yingchen sighed: "Wow! What was that just now! The two children with green doll heads are still not wearing shirts!"

"What are you doing!" shouted next to him, "Why don't you stop them two!"

Yingchen, who was stunned by the yelling, yelled back: "Didn't you also not move!"

"Stop making noise." Wu Ci, who chased the evil spirit to the door, turned off the tail ring, "Go and inform Bai Jiang and Lin Xue to come in."

"Oh."

When the two of them went to inform Lin Xue and Bai Jiang, Wu Ci helped Wei Bai who had fainted to the sofa in the lounge to turn off the tail ring, and he was so tired that he sat on the ground and fell asleep in a daze .

"So this is ah."

In the Ivy Hall, Bai Jiang told Lin Xue the ins and outs of this incident.

"However," Bai Jiang stared into his eyes, "didn't expect the different eyes really exist?"

Lin Xue smiled, and looked at the air roots that had lost their support and fell to the ground in groups, "But how to deal with these? Normal humans can't see them, but if they are touched by others, wouldn't it become news?"

"Burn it, even though you can't see it, the fire still has an effect."

"Ah."

"Why did you choose this place?" Yingchen on the side looked at the aerial roots, "Why did you choose this place? If you just want to absorb nutrients from the soil through plants, aren't there too many landscape trees on the road outside?"

"Because it's winter now," Bai Jiang turned to look at him, "Many trees are dormant."

"No, there are many trees that are green all year round?"

"Probably because it's warm here." Lin Xue looked at the ivy around her, "A greenhouse, all plants should like it."

"Oh, it's also possible..."

"Then according to this calculation," Wu Ci woke up and walked out of the lounge, "they should have gone to a place with a lot of plants?"

"Are you awake? The place with a lot of plants is the suburbs..." Yingchen raised his head and thought for a while, "That's where Shangli is! Shall we rush there first and wait for the rabbit!"

"It's not necessarily that this inference is accurate. Let's go back to Tongzilou first. If they go to other districts, they will definitely notify us."

"Is Wei Bai awake?" Lin Xue asked while sweeping her breath.

"No, he's been fighting for such a long time this time, he probably won't wake up until night. Did you report what happened just now?" Wu Ci turned to ask Bai Jiang.

"Yes, I have."

"Then let's go."

"I really didn't expect that the higher-ups would allow a human being to stay with a soul-seeker. The higher-ups really have no principles." With a happy rotten smile on his face, Xiaoguang complained hypocritically.

"You look very happy." Yingchen squinted at him.

"Ah, you understand! Oh heh heh..." Xiaoguang slapped Yingchen's arm.

Stay away from this woman... Yingchen thought with contempt on her face.

"It's so powerful even though it has never been played before!"

Ruan Yue and Li Shu sat face to face on the floor, with backgammon in the middle.

"Did you really never download it before?"

"Yeah. How about we do it all over again?" Li Shu sighed when she saw that she had nowhere to go.

"Don't! Don't insult my IQ! I will definitely figure it out!" Ruan Yue stared at the chess board with her arms around her serious face.

"I said you... where did you find this thing?" Shang Li behind Ruan Yue couldn't help but ask.

"In the next classroom, maybe some student forgot to take it."

"You really think you two are primary school students! I'm a teacher! It's so simple that you can't pass?!" Shang Li bent down and pointed at the chessboard, "Isn't it enough to block here?"

As soon as he picked up the sunspot and was about to drop it, Ruan Yue slapped him on the back of his hand, "Put it down, or I'll turn my back on you."

"Then you've done it, you're so stupid! The people who watched it were so anxious, it's just unexpected that they get blocked every time you go down here!"

"Can you blame me! I, a young girl in her teens, will certainly be powerless against a 500-year-old monster!"

"Oh? Really? But why do I think your IQ is lower than your age?"

"What did you say!"

While the two were arguing, the dryad looked at the two of them expressionlessly, moved back and leaned against the wall and began to close their eyes to rest.

In fact, when Ruan Yue annoyed it at first, it ignored her, but after being annoyed for a long time, there was no other way, and it could only talk and play chess with her.It understands that Ruan Yue just wants it to come out.

When he returned to Tongzilou, Baijiang saw the paper hanging on the fax machine. He thought it was the news of the tree soul operation, and he immediately ran over to get the paper.

"Ah..." Then he sighed, "No..."

"Is that a mission?" Yingchen asked.

"It's not a task either, it's just that the higher-ups told Wu Ci that the task in this area has been assigned to the other three, so that he doesn't have to be distracted."

"Isn't it supposed to be like this a long time ago? Shouldn't the previous mission, which Wu resigned to perform when we first came back, also be assigned to the other three districts?"

"Maybe the other three are not free, and the higher-ups can only be assigned to Wu Ci. Try your luck. I don't know when there will be news. It's uncomfortable to wait and worry." He said, rubbing the back of his neck and turning a few times. down.

"But is the border line really reliable?" Xiaoguang sat down on the sofa with his hands in his pockets, "After all, the border line is just that, wouldn't you be able to detect it if you fly over or go under it?"

"The line visible to the naked eye is just a mark for the soul seeker to indicate the location. The real "border line" has no limit to the top and bottom. If you can see it, it should be similar to a wall." Bai Jiang explained.

"That's it!" Yingchen and Xiaoguang sighed together.

"You don't know either?" Xiao Guang turned to look at Ying Chen.

"That's right, he didn't tell me. Why didn't you explain the meaning of the border line to me?" Yingchen looked at Wu Ci who had been standing silently since he came in.

"Ah? Didn't I make it clear? I forgot." Wu Ci said with a blank expression.

"You're like this again!" Yingchen raised his forehead.

It's getting dark.

Seeing that there was a task, Shang Li went over and tore off the paper.

"Ah...here again, why are the evil spirits appearing so frequently recently?" Complaining to him while watching carefully, this time the characteristics and fighting methods of the pair of tree spirit evil spirits were clearly described, so as not to Something went wrong.

"You go with me, it should be helpful." He looked back at Li Shu with a smile on his face.

"Me?" Li Shu pointed at herself in surprise.

"Why?" Ruan Yue was also a little surprised, "Why did you take it there for the mission?"

"Because of this," he walked up to the pear tree and handed it the paper, "let's go, just take a walk. You haven't moved your nest since you've been here, right? You've been slumping here."

"Yeah, I didn't even notice it, but" she came over and squatted down to look at Lishu's gnawed legs, "Can you stand up?"

"That's not a problem. You're not afraid that I'll cause trouble again? I'm a tree demon and an evil spirit." Li Shu looked up at him with a smile.

"If you want to give birth, give birth early, go quickly, there should be all signs over there."

Shang Li walked out while talking.

"I want to go too!" Ruan Yue raised her hand.

"No, you stay." Shang Li didn't stop walking.

"Why why! It can go!" Ruan Yue pointed to Li Shu who stood up and followed.

"Oh?" Shang Li turned to look at her, "He is an old monster over 500 years old, and you are a 17-year-old young girl, you will be in danger if you follow her!"

"You you you you..." Ruan Yuechu was speechless.

In the forest not far from the school, Bai Jiang and Wu Ci's team had already arrived. The entire forest was full of aerial roots. Of course, the trees that were not dormant due to the season were mainly used.

"It's troublesome. If you want to move forward, you have to use Mingwen to cut off those Qi roots, but this will consume a lot of energy. What should I do?" Bai Jiang looked at Wu Ci.

"Or, one person is responsible for opening the way, and the others save their energy?"

"That's not okay," Bai Jiang put his hands on his hips, "This forest is so big, what if we are attacked after entering? Wouldn't it be good to get injured without the protection of Hades? To be honest, I don't care about Feng Minghai. I've always been apprehensive."

"Are you in trouble? I brought a helper." Shang Li smiled and walked over from behind, pointing his thumb at the pear tree behind him, "There should be a solution to what it says."

"How did you bring it here?"

"What if we don't bring it? It's so difficult this time?" Shang Li looked at the frowning Wu Ci, "Don't pay attention to him, let's start!" Shang Li turned his head and patted Li Shu on the shoulder.

It walked to the air roots, picked up some with its hands and looked, "Sure enough, it's still very young."

"By the way," Yingchen pointed at the pear tree and asked Shangli, "Can it also absorb the essence of the world, the sun, and the moon like this?"

"I can't." The pear tree let go of its aerial roots. "They are doing this because they are really young, their roots are not thick, and their bodies have a great desire for nutrients, so they can do it. Generally, those that have passed a hundred years can't do it." .”

"How? Is there a way to get it done?" Shang Li looked at Li Shu expectantly.

"Well, it's very simple. But what exactly do you need from me? Can I just catch it?"

"Catch the one that was delivered to me and pressed on the ground, is that okay?" Bai Jiang said while gesticulating excitedly.

"Oh that's it? Okay, you guys get out of the way first, and don't get closer than five meters from me."

After everyone obeyed the arrangement of the pear tree and walked away, the branches around the waist of the pear tree suddenly grew continuously, rolled up and passed through the center of the air roots in a spiral shape, and there were continuous muffled cracking sounds, which should be the air roots. The sound of roots being snapped by branches.

At this moment, Wu Ci whispered to Shang Li, "You don't want him to join us, do you?"

"Otherwise?" Shang Li was noncommittal, "I don't want to face a face that I have no love for, and it's already dead. In the future, there will only be more and more souls with glass disease like this plant. Don't you let Have they stayed there all the time? Anyway, I will report to the higher-ups after I go back today. Although the higher-ups won’t let them manage a district, isn’t it good to help the soul-seekers like this?”

After groping in the forest for a while, the branch suddenly pulled back suddenly, and the sound of "cracking" air roots breaking became a sound.

With a sound of "pa", the two tree spirits wrapped in the branches came out, the tree demon turned around, and placed the two on the ground in front of Bai Che accurately.

"Is that all right?"

"Yes!" Bai Jiang gave it a thumbs up, "Excellent! Why didn't you recommend him sooner if you have such a master! Well, come on, Wu Ci!"

Bai Jiang and Wu Ci, one put the soul-absorbing bottle on the eyebrows of one, and the other inserted the knife into the abdomen of one.

"Wow, it's so convenient!" Bai Jiang looked at Wu Ci's tail ring enviously and sighed, and opened the reincarnation door with the blue ring and threw the soul-absorbing bottle in, "I don't know when we can change it?"

"It should be soon, listen to Taohua's tone."

no.

Du Lan took the report about the tree demon from Shangli, knocked on the door of Taohua and Bodhi's room, opened the door and said to the two people inside, "A meeting."

Then he turned around and knocked on the door of Zhen Ling and Lie Wei's room to announce the meeting.

In the hall on the first floor, Bodhi was the last one to arrive because she had to tie her hair, and she said lazily, "It's been a long time since I had a meeting, what's the big deal? I'm working."

"About the glazed tree demon." As he spoke, Du Lan shook the report in his hand, "Shang Li suggested asking Lishu to help, and the same will be true for the glazed tree spirit that will appear in the future. What do you think?"

"What do you think of Yingtan?" Taohua sat upright, looking at Dulan.

"Her? She agrees and thinks it's a good suggestion."

"I know Yingtan..." Bodhi said with jealousy.

"That's because she's not here, of course I have to ask her opinion." Taohua still had no expression, but frowned a little.

"Okay, okay," Zhen Ling waved his hand, "it's business. I agree, after all, there will be more and more tree souls suffering from glass disease in the future, so we can't let it go like this?"

"But what if they rebel? Their abilities are much greater than human souls, even with the assistance of human tail rings." Bodhi retorted.

"Isn't this Shangli clearly stated in the report? They are not used as soul seekers, but as assistants." Du Lan put the paper on the table and pushed it over, and tapped the tip of his index finger to see clearly. "I also agree with this proposal. If you leave it alone, it will lead to accidents. Isn't this the same as the glass disease of the human soul?"

"Then the meeting passed?" Taohua stood up, "Then let's go and continue working."

"It's up to you," Bodhi also stood up and was the first to step out of the meeting room, "Anyway, if something goes wrong, I won't solve it alone."

"Hey, you always sing the opposite, you girl." Zhen Ling held her chin and looked at Bodhi's back with a smile.
