Seeing that he was not the only one who had been cheated, Xu Le felt much better.
Although Ding Ke grabbed his hair and punched him several times, he had eaten all the food and the smell could never come back.
Bai Jing looked at Xu Le, whose hair was pulled by the black cat, with a complicated expression. Her thoughts were also in a trance.
Xu Le's state really made it impossible for her to correspond to the person the old mercenary mentioned before.
But the old mercenary had no reason to lie to her. As long as she bought a newspaper after going back, everything would be clear.
"Someone just told me..." "Tell you what?"
"Some people say that you killed many people at the guard hall. Is it true?" "Ah, that's what you're talking about. It can be said to be true."
"...How is this possible for a newbie like you?"
"I've told you that I'm not a newbie, and what you see may not be true. Many people can pretend, and many people have many facets. Don't think that you are very accurate in judging people, in case you are not accurate. Woolen cloth?"
Before, Bai Jing had always played the role of teacher in front of Xu Le.
Now that she has been educated by Xu Le, she is still not used to it.
"Don't act like you are a senior in front of me. I have more experience than you."
Although she heard that Xu Le was a very scary character, after getting in touch with him, she still felt that the Xu Le in front of her was more real.
So I wasn't too afraid of him.
Xu Le smiled and preached this kind of thing, it seemed that everyone liked to do it. He actually started to have this symptom. "I used to have a very good friend, also named Bai Jing."
"Hey, man, if you want to pick up girls, this kind of rhetoric is too cliche. I used to have a friend or something..."
Seeing the disdain on Bai Jing's face, Xu Le was not angry, but he did not stop talking.
"Are you thinking too much? The Bai Jing I'm talking about is quite old. She should have been 40-50 at that time? Thinking about it this way, Brother Shu's taste is really unique."
Hearing what Xu Le said, Bai Jing's face suddenly turned ugly.
No one likes to be called old, even if it means a little bit metaphorically. "I look a lot like that friend of yours?"
"Yes, she is also a person who likes to preach, and she is also my mission guide." "Have you ever done a mission in the wild? What about her?" "She's dead."
"Died in battle?" "It should be considered that he died of old age."
Xu Le is not ridiculous in this regard. Bai Jing's life was already overdrawn at that time, and the last move that bloomed consumed all her life.
So it is true that you will die of old age. "Will you die of old age at the age of 40-50?"
"Martial artist, injuries and battles must have overdrawn your life."
"Although I say that, it would be a pity to die of old age at this age."
"Yes, it's a pity that her death had a great impact on my former team, and it was eventually disbanded."
"So, what kind of person is she?"
"If I had to describe her in detail, it would probably be smooth. She always upholds smooth justice and is a very capable and special friend."
When Bai Jing heard the word smooth, she nodded approvingly.
"Smooth justice? This is in line with my style. You should be more diplomatic in life and work, so that it will be easier to develop, don't you think?"
Xu Le narrowed his eyes, then shook his head: "That's not right."
"Isn't it right? Is it wrong to be smooth? What's wrong?" Xiao Baijing was a little unconvinced. She felt that smooth justice was very good.
Xu Le touched Ding Ke to calm him down.
"I used to think that smooth justice was correct, but later I discovered that the so-called smooth justice is actually just a helpless choice. It is precisely because there is no absolute power and power that compromise and smoothness are needed."
"If you do something too absolute, it will only lead to conflict."
"Then have you ever seen the Red Moon Temple's smoothness?" Xu Le asked suddenly. "Uh..."
"The Red Moon Temple has not yet allowed masters above level 4 to appear in Zion and Beacon. This is their pressure on other cities. They have never had the concept of tact. Their absolute strength gives them absolute pressure. , so they can control it to other cities as they please."
"What you said is too far away." Bai Jing suddenly felt guilty.
Xu Le nodded. These questions were indeed too far away for Bai Jing. But for him, they were not far away.
He was one of the councilors of Zion and a level 4 warlock. He was assassinated by the Red Moon Temple, more than once.
In this case, tact has become meaningless.
Because he couldn't resist the power of the Red Moon Temple, he hoped to change. "I just said it casually." "What did you do in the past?"
"This is a secret." "Oh, forget it."
After the chat between the two ended, Bai Jing returned to the team to have dinner with the others.
Xu Le didn't go there. Except for Bai Jing, he didn't want to have too much contact with other mercenaries. Too much contact would easily expose him.
But he had no intention of leaving the camp. Looking at the huge moon in the sky, Xu Le began to try to absorb the moon spirit.
"Why can you still be a meow when it comes to things like Mu Yue?" Ding Ke looked at Mu Yue's Xu Le with a confused expression.
"Yes, why can Mu Yue still do this kind of thing?"
Xu Le himself was also confused. According to his current state, he should be rejected by both Hongyue and Gu Yinduo.
He no longer belongs to any system.
I wonder if the Night Fury is like me and never gets the recognition of the Ancient Yinduo Mother Tree.
But if you think about it carefully, the attitude of Guyinduo's mother tree towards the other sons of Guyinduo doesn't seem to be very good.
"Anyway, just suck it and that's it."
Time passed by, and without the constraints of trivial matters, Xu Le was completely immersed in the joy of cultivation.
Is it fun to practice this kind of thing?
Of course there is, especially if you absorb the power that exists in the world. The spirit of the red moon, or the power of ancient sounds.
Even if his psychic pool is full, this process will strengthen his body, albeit only a little.
But the joy that growth brings is unparalleled.
After practicing for about 5 hours, it is already 12 o'clock. Even if Tianrui Lifeng mercenaries have a rich night life, they have already started to rest at this time.
Only a few mercenaries were left standing vigil, each on guard.
The firelight illuminated the surroundings, and there were some sounds of wild beasts in the wild environment. Of course, they were not necessarily wild beasts.
Bai Jing didn't have to keep vigil, but she kept thinking about the scene of Xu Le killing people in the guard hall, which made her unable to sleep.
Turning her head, Bai Jing found that Xu Le hadn't rested yet. She curled her lips:
"This guy, even though he doesn't have a night watch duty, he still doesn't take a rest. A rookie is just a rookie."
He closed his eyes and squinted for a while, but when he opened them again, Xu Le actually disappeared again. "He left the team? At this time."
Bai Jing looked at her watch and squinted. More than an hour had passed and it was almost 2 o'clock now.
If Xu Le goes out at this time, isn't he seeking death? "No, we have to find him."
Picking up the lantern, Bai Jing was about to go out. The mercenary keeping watch asked, "Xiao Bai, why are you going?" "I'm going to use the toilet."
"That's it, let's just deal with it on the spot. It won't be good if something weird happens." "Shut up." "Hahaha." Walking to where Xu Le was, Bai Jing followed Xu Le's footprints and walked out. go.
She found that Xu Le had really gone out, and it was after 12 o'clock. "This guy really doesn't know how to live or die." She followed the footprints for a long time until she came to a lake.
The lake reflected the light of the moon. The entire lake surface was shining brightly, and the surrounding area did not look dark. This was the place where the team had taken water before, and Bai Jing knew it. But because of this, she was even more anxious. In the wild, under any circumstances Don't get too close to the lake, especially when camping.
Because no one knows what is under the lake, people need to breathe in the water, and their ability to move is greatly reduced, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.
Moreover, lakes are particularly suitable for giant creatures to survive. Such a place often indicates danger. "This footprint..." Looking at the footprints by the lake, Bai Jing's expression became more and more uneasy. "Isn't this guy going to the lake? He is Are you mentally retarded?"
It was quiet all around. Bai Jing's years of experience made her feel that there was danger here. She really didn't want Xu Le to die, but she didn't want to get into trouble herself.
After seeing Xu Le's footprints disappearing by the lake, she had already retreated. "Forget it, let him fend for himself." As soon as she turned around, Bai Jing was a little unwilling, and she lowered her voice and shouted:
"Ding Ke! Ding Ke!" Meow?
There was really a creature that responded to her, but unfortunately it was a cat, Ding Ke's black cat. Bai Jing stared at the black cat walking towards her under the moonlight, and asked cautiously:
"Hey, little kitten, where is your master?" Ding Ke tilted his head and thought for a moment, then pointed to the lake. Meow!
"Really in the water? That would be too dangerous..." Bai Jing didn't know how to communicate with a cat.
But looking at Ding Ke sitting there licking his paws, she felt inexplicably relieved.
"Can you ask your master to come up? The mission has not yet begun, and I don't want to reduce our staff at this time."
Meow!~Ding Ke spread his hands to show that he was helpless.
Its behavior was very humane, which made Bai Jing sure that this cat could indeed understand her own words.
So Bai Jing thought about it, took out a small snack from his pocket, and threw it away. "Good boy, let your master come up." Ding Ke looked at the snack with disgust. Are you kidding me? But the noble and powerful Whisperer, the Whispering Owl.
Thinking back then, it was possible to go from the disaster area of the Red Moon Temple to the Red Moon East Road without blinking an eye for three days and three nights. How could it be bribed by a little snack?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. Then... it walked over and ate the snack, it was quite delicious...
"Kitten, you've eaten my snacks, can you help me?"
Ding Ke was a little helpless and soft-spoken. At this time, it was almost time for Xu Le to come back.
So, Ding Ke slowly walked to the lake and buried his head in the water. Gulu gulu gulu!~
Bai Jing didn't know what it was doing, but she didn't disturb the spiritual cat at this time. "Is it summoning Ding Ke? A pet summons its owner? It looks weird..."
After Dingkegulu for a while, the lake started to vibrate, as if something huge was about to break out of the water.
They were not the only creatures that felt this vibration. Several stray monsters that had been eyeing Bai Jing and Ding Ke also escaped at this time.
It seemed that she was afraid of things in the water. Hula! A huge wave came, and Bai Jing quickly stepped back.
I saw Xu Le standing on a weird head like a giant water snake, breaking out of the water. [Black Spirit Serpent, level 4 weird, ancient god species.] Xu Le grabbed the Black Spirit Serpent with one hand. To, let it pierce into your body.
And the soul tree in his body is also frantically absorbing these toxins.
At the beginning, the Black Spirit Snake still had the idea of showing some color to Xu Le, an ignorant human being.
But with the injection of toxins, Xu Le was fine. Its spiritual energy was almost exhausted. If this continued, it might even die of exhaustion of spiritual energy.
So it started to twist its body in the water, trying to get rid of Xu Le.
However, Xu Le would not let it go so easily. He did not take the initiative to attack the Black Spirit Snake when he entered the water. It was the Black Spirit Snake that sought its own death.
Staring at the black spirit snake's huge eyeballs, Xu Le also had a fierce look on his face.
"I can't produce toxins, so when I need to use toxins, I have to ask others for them. The others here can be people, plants, or monsters. If it doesn't give it... then I will grab it, do you understand? "
Roar!
The Black Spirit Snake roared again, but it couldn't shake Xu Le away.
It felt like something like a tentacle came in from the venom mouth of its fangs and pierced its body.
This is crazy...
"I heard that venom is essentially protein? It's quite miraculous." The branch of the tree of soul penetrated the black snake's body. Then, it began to take root and sprout, growing crazily in the black snake's body.
The power of the Soul Tree cannot be described as a treasure or artifact. This thing makes no sense.
No matter what kind of weirdo you are, Hongyue, Guyinduo, Ancient God, or Outer God.
As long as the tree of soul finds your core position, it can be absorbed.
The black spirit snake felt like there was something strange growing inside its body... It was afraid and angry of the human being in front of it, and it couldn't defeat it.
Already had the feeling of retreat. "Humanity..."
"There are no more choices. Every creature must be responsible for its own actions." Xu Le said lightly. Then, Bai Jing below saw an astonishing scene.
The thick roots and branches suddenly broke through the body of the Black Spirit Serpent, part of it went deep into the lake, and part of it grew upward.
The tree is growing bigger and bigger, faster and faster.
The speed of its growth was equal to the speed of the decline of the Black Spirit Serpent. It didn't take long for the Black Spirit Serpent to become completely shriveled and rotten. But there was an extra tree in the middle of the lake.
A tree of ancient sounds?
