Zhang Changkong was looking at the vitality plant sapling.
This sapling is only over one meter tall. In addition to the main trunk, there are three short branches. The leaves are green with yellow.
Overall, he looked a bit malnourished.
"There are countless vitality plants in the wilderness, and there is not much information about this in the Xiangshan Sect. I can't tell what species this sapling is and what role it will play in the future. However, the vitality plants must be of great use. Moreover, this vitality plant is really magical. It can spontaneously absorb the vitality of the vitality stones." Zhang Changkong looked at the several vitality stones half buried in the ground that had turned into waste rocks. "Although the absorption is not very fast, it takes more than ten days. I just absorbed these vitality stones."
"As expected, this vitality plant is not suitable for cultivation even if it is not a mage. It seems that this sapling may not grow into a big tree within 180 years." However, Zhang Changkong has no worries in this regard. He is confident of being promoted to the realm of mage, unless he is halfway through Accidental death, otherwise, he now has more than 70 mana powers in his body. In more than ten years, he will definitely have full mana power. But ten years later, he will only be in his forties, with full mana power and up to standard skills, he will have at least fifty or sixty years left. After a good year, if you still can't condense the legal domain, you can only lament your fate.
Zhang Changkong was not a wood-attribute monk and could not detect the basic information of this plant, so he did not look at it further and just replaced a few dead vitality stones with new ones.
Zhang Changkong told the three golden scarabs to take good care of the vitality plant, and then walked towards the tower, which was some distance away from the tower.
The intelligence of the zerg is inherently stronger than that of ordinary insects. After these three golden scarabs experienced several battles, both their strength and intelligence have improved a lot. They can simply follow long-term orders, but they are still unable to communicate. .
"Senior Brother Zhang".
Before Zhang Changkong approached the tower, Rong Lu and the others came looking for him.
"Senior Brother Zhang, the essence of the earth has been gathered. In the next two days, someone will come here to collect the essence," Rong Lu said with a smile.
"Oh, the main city has relaxed its blockade. Why don't you go back?"
Zhang Changkong nodded. He estimated that the gathering of earth essence would end in these few days, so he was not too surprised.
"It's better to wait two days before we talk, so as not to encounter the enemies who haven't retreated yet." After Rong Lu finished speaking, she glanced at Meng Kewei.
Meng Ke hesitated for a while and said, "I wonder how long Senior Brother Zhang will be guarding Nanman Tianguan?"
"If nothing else happens, there will be about nine years left." There is no need to hide this.
"It's like this, Senior Brother Zhang, didn't the two of us fail in our mission to guard Satellite City No. 13? Although the main responsibility does not lie with us, the main city will punish us for guarding it for two to three more years, and there will be no hobgoblins during this period. "The Qi is collected," Meng Kewei said, "So we want to come over to Senior Brother Zhang, so that we can also help Senior Brother Zhang fight, and it will not affect Senior Brother Zhang's ability to obtain the earth essence. What do you think?"
"Oh, I don't care if there is free labor, but it's up to you whether you can come or not." Zhang Changkong didn't care either. It was not much more than the two of them, but not much less than the two of them. "However, after the guard is over, I I will leave for a while, and I will not come back until next year when the earth essence gathers."
"It's okay. Many people will leave to do their own things at this time." Rong Lu and the two were obviously not in the first year of Nanman Tianguan, and they knew many things.
After Rong Lu and the others left, Zhang Changkong walked towards the tower. He already knew the punishment for failing to guard. If he failed to guard, he would have to guard for another five years without compensation.
To be honest, Zhang Changkong didn't care about a failure in guarding. It was still almost seventeen years before he left with Master Kongkong. It didn't matter if he failed once. At most, it would not affect him if he guarded for five more years.
And Zhang Changkong also knew what those monks were doing during the period when the earth essence was not gathered. They just changed roles, from defenders to attackers, and went to plunder other sects.
Zhang Changkong was now in front of the tower, and he had a desire to break into the tower. Unfortunately, he just thought about it.
Two days flew by.
On this day, Zhang Changkong was practicing, and a powerful spiritual consciousness swept across him, waking him up instantly.
He released his spiritual consciousness with all his strength, but failed to scan any target. Just when he wanted to use "Earth and Stone Mastery" to drill into the earth.
"Are you the warlock guarding here? I'm from the main city." A voice sounded in his mind.
Zhang Changkong paused and realized that this was a monk in the mage realm.
Zhang Changkong walked out of the stone house and saw a man in light gray clothes standing in front of the tower, with his back turned to him.
Zhang Changkong was shocked. You must know that he has been scanning with his spiritual consciousness. If he hadn't seen it with his eyes, his spiritual consciousness would not have noticed that there was a person standing there.
"I have met the seniors, and the junior is Zhang Changkong of Shensangfeng." Zhang Changkong cupped his hands.
"Well, it looks like the scale of the fighting around you is quite large. Only two of your team members are dead?" The blue-grey figure asked directly.
"Back to senior, this satellite city is guarded by me alone. The remaining two people fled here after other satellite cities were breached." Zhang Changkong didn't know what this man's intention was, so he answered honestly.
"Oh, that's it. I've never seen you before. Are you new to Nanman Tianguan? I also know a few warlocks from Shensang Peak. Judging from the traces of battle here, you are not an unknown person, are you?"
"Well, I am indeed a new member of Shensang Peak. I used to be a member of Wanzhu Peak, but I have not been promoted to Warlock for a long time, and I have no reputation in the sect," Zhang Changkong said.
"Are you a newly promoted warlock in the late stage? But I advise you to choose a team. Although you have five bugs with the blood of ferocious beasts, there are still many powerful enemies in the Southern Barbarian Heavenly Pass." The monk in the mage realm turned to He turned around, revealing a middle-aged face with a hint of bookishness.
"Yes, I have this idea too," Zhang Changkong said, thinking that Rong Lu and the others might come over.
"Okay, let's get the earth essence first." The middle-aged man nodded. He heard that the remaining two warlocks had nothing to do with the guards here, and they no longer even had the desire to meet.
He didn't move too much. He only saw a series of rune shadows appearing in the air and sinking into the tower one after another.
"Kakaka!"
The tower door opens.
The middle-aged man did not enter the tower. He turned his hands and saw two jade bottles suspended in the air.
Two orange streams of air flow from the tower through the gate toward the two bottles.
Two streams of air, one large and one small, flowed into the two bottles continuously for several minutes.
When the orange air flow finally disappeared, the middle-aged man waved his hand, the shadow of the runes appeared, and the door slowly closed.
"This is yours." The middle-aged man threw a bottle to Zhang Changkong, who quickly took it.
"By the way, senior, why don't you go inside? I also want to see what's different in the tower?"
Zhang Changkong asked. His consciousness couldn't scan it in just now. Well, he was still a little cautious.
"Oh, you may have some trouble entering it. This tower will intercept part of the breath of those who enter, whether it is the enemy or one of your own." The middle-aged man said with a half-smile: "That's why no one will guard and steal, and Even if the enemy robs the earth essence, they do not dare to destroy the magic circle base in the tower. We Xiangshan Sect will not take care of them if they rob the earth essence. However, if they dare to destroy the magic circle, a mage will immediately follow his instructions. The breath hunted him to death.”
Zhang Changkong's heart trembled slightly. There were too many tricks. It seemed that he had better stay calm.
"Okay, I have other satellite cities to go to, so I won't talk to you anymore." The middle-aged man nodded slightly, without even leaving his name, and quickly shot into the sky, disappearing from the shadow.
"After fighting hard for a few times and almost endangering my life, this is what I gained." Zhang Changkong threw the jade bottle in his hand, "It's better to use the earth essence first. This kind of jade bottle cannot preserve the earth essence completely intact. ".
So Zhang Changkong immediately returned to the stone room where he practiced, sat down cross-legged, and directly entered the state of cultivation.
