At night, the plains of Dessa.

Shazo, Jasmine and Edith searched for half a day on the plains of Dessa, but they still couldn't find the location where Leah's body was buried.

Xia Zuo had to choose to pause the search, take a break, and resume the search the next day, after all, searching for such a beast-infested place at night was an unnecessary risk, even for the Soul Descendants.

Anyway, there's no rush, you can take your time.

Natsuzo squatted near the makeshift tent that had been set up, next to a bright bonfire that had been lit, which was effective in driving away wild beasts at night: most of them were afraid of fire.

Next to Xia Zuo, Jasmine and Edith each occupied a spot facing the campfire, each doing their own thing.

Jasmine still wears her extraordinarily wide hood firmly, but, for some reason, maybe because Jasmine prefers the night, Jasmine raised the hood a little more, so that Xia Zuo can vaguely see her moving face, but Xia Zuo still can't see her expression, her little hand pinching a small wooden branch, casually tinkering with the fire, I don't know if she will feel too hot like this...... After all, he was dressed in black and hooded, and he was still by the warm campfire.

However, Jasmine has the ability to manipulate the ice element, so it should be fine to cool everything, so it won't feel hot.

Xia Zuo thought for a while, and then looked at Edith on the left, at this time Edith was holding a small wooden fork and scratching something on the ground, and from time to time the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, showing a cute smile.

The scene in front of me seems to be pretty good......

Xia Zuo smiled lightly.

Leah's body may not be found for the time being, and it may take several days to find it...... It's better to take advantage of the opportunity to ask Edith about it first, as for Jasmine, she said that she would say it later, so Xia Zuo didn't plan to take this opportunity to ask Jasmine anything.

It's still a little more important about Edith.

Xia Zuo thought.

"Speaking of which...... Edith, why did you come to Clara, just for the griffin?" asked Charzo curiously, "What good can that griffon do to you?"

"Hey, hey......" Edith smiled lightly with the corners of her mouth slightly hooked.

"I'm a necromancer...... What do you think, brother?"

What would a necromancer need a griffin for?

Xia Zuo was stunned, and then his eyes widened, as if he had thought of something.

"Do you mean...... You want an undead griffon?" asked Nazzo.

"Correct. Edith smiled smartly, "As a soul-descended soul hunter who can transform into the undead, it's not surprising that you want a powerful mount, right?"

"But...... To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this griffon seemed to be out of the pack, I wouldn't have much confidence that I would be able to catch 'him' (the male). ”

Xia Zuo suddenly realized.

Also, after all, the griffin is a very powerful soul creature, and its flight ability is quite strong, and the adult healthy griffin can cross the Desa Plains and the Reston Mountains from Clara in half a day to the other side of the Reston Mountains, a bustling big city.

It's no wonder that Edith wants a griffon to be transformed into an undead as a mount, and even rushes to Clara's side.

In addition, although the griffin is said to be a non-social creature, in fact, in the records of the Soulborn, there is a certain size of the griffin within the griffin, and the griffin will often get its own position in the group - either hunting or guarding, and through the size of the contribution to obtain a higher status and the opportunity to choose a good mate, it is rare for the griffon to be out of the group.

So the griffon seemed very strange.

Xia Zuo thought.

It was strange that the griffon had left the griffon colony and came to the human city of Clara, and even had a grudge against the human nobles (Sax), and killed Saxophone at the risk of being discovered by the Soulborn.

Truth be told, if it weren't for the griffin breaking away from the colony, it would have been quite difficult for Edith to catch a griffin.

She can't go over to a herd of griffons and catch one on her own, can she?

Speaking of which, what does this griffon have to do with Leah, and where is that mysterious half-ghosted beast?

Xia Zuo couldn't think of an answer.

Griffons have been hostile to horses since ancient times, and horses have a natural fear of griffins, so it's hard to imagine that Leah, a mare, could have anything to do with this griffon.

As for the half-ghost beast whose identity was still unclear, Xia Zuo couldn't think of anything to do with it.

Anyway, let's rest well and wait until Leah's body is found.

"We take turns keeping vigil, and those who don't have their turn to stay vigil go and rest first. Xia Zuo suggested.

"Poof. Edith burst out laughing.

"Uh...... What's wrong?" Xia Zuo felt a little embarrassed, a little confused.

"Brother, we can have the undead keep vigil. Edith winked playfully.

"......" Xia Zuo couldn't help covering his face, you didn't say it earlier.

I almost forgot about it.

Seeing Edith's cute little girl always makes people accidentally ignore her abilities, as well as her undead.

It would be a shame not to let the tireless special beings of the undead keep vigil.

"Well, then let your undead come out for vigil. Xia Zuo quickly adjusted his mood and nodded to Edith.

"Well, okay, no problem. Edith smiled slightly, and then with a slight wave of her little hand, a strange spatial crack appeared next to Edith out of thin air, and a monster came out of the crack.

It's a weird black lion with a terrifying glow in its eyes.

Black Lion.

Beast-like soul creatures, belonging to the land line, the nocturnal beast is good at running on the plains and grasslands, agile, and has the extraordinary ability to control the dark element, the black lion likes to act at night, and captures prey in the silent darkness.

The Black Lion is very aggressive, but its defense is much worse than that of Edith's giant bear undead, but in terms of overall strength alone, the two are of similar level.

The black lion seemed to have been completely transformed into a loyal undead by Edith, and there was no trace of hostility towards Xia Zuo and the others in its eyes.

However, Xia Zuo was stunned for a while.

"What about the giant bear undead you had last time? You actually have one more of this level of ghost beast undead. Xia Zuo was surprised.

An undead of this level can withstand two or three ordinary soul hunters.

Originally, I thought that even though Edith had many undead under her command, there should only be one undead of that level.

But now it seems that Edith actually has more than one undead of that level, if Edith has other undead of the same level, then Edith is not strong against the sky?

"That giant bear, naturally, is still in the undead space, and now it is more appropriate for the black lion to keep vigil. Edith smiled softly.

"Also, brother, I guess what you're thinking~" Ithis smiled slyly, "I do have other ghost beast undead, as for what they are, how many are there, you can guess for yourself." ”

Xia Zuo couldn't help but feel a chill inexplicably, and she must not make Edith unhappy in the future, otherwise Edith will release her army of undead, and I will be finished.

"Then let's rest, and tomorrow we will continue to search for Leah's body. Xia Zuo hurriedly changed the subject.

"Hmm. Jasmine bowed slightly, "You go and rest first." ”

"I'll stay a little longer, it's fine here. Jasmine whispered.

Jasmine seems to prefer this quiet night to the sunny day.

"Ahhh......h Ahem, okay. Xia Zuo didn't expect Jasmine to say this, and paused, and then nodded in agreement.

"Brother, let's go rest first, I'm a necromancer, and the night is quite a good environment for me. Edith said too, with a sly expression.

"I'll go rest in a while. ”

"Uh...... All right. Xia Zuo always felt that something was wrong, but he still agreed with the two of them, and went into the tent alone, ready to rest and sleep.

Xia Zuo was in a very tired state, and it was very hard for him to use extraordinary abilities for a long time during the day.

So, despite being in such an uncomfortable simple tent, Xia Zuo quickly fell asleep.

After all, Xia Zuo is a former wild hunter, what kind of hardship has he not suffered? Naturally, there will be no insomnia.

When Xia Zuo fell asleep, only Jasmine and Edith were left outside the tent.

"It's just the two of us now, what's the matter with you?" Edith asked first, a faint polite smile on her face.

"Nothing either. Jasmine's voice was ethereal and pleasant, and she replied lightly.

"It's just strange to your attitude. Jasmine continued, "Did you really do your best to search for Leah's body today?"

Jasmine was a little suspicious of Edith.

Although Xia Zuo couldn't see it as a newcomer, Jasmine was an experienced soul descendant, and she was also a more observant elixir master, so it was natural to see that Edith didn't do her best when searching during the day.

"Hey...... It's been seen. Edith didn't seem to be flustered at all by being exposed, but still grinned.

"Why don't you do your best?" Jasmine frowned slightly at this.

"Of course, I'm doing it for my brother's good, and I'm training his extraordinary abilities. Edith smiled.

"After all...... Brother, his strength is too weak, not at all like me, or rather, not like us......" Edith said quietly, and what she said seemed to have a deep meaning.

"...... 'we', why don't you say 'we'?" Jasmine paused, slightly confused.

In fact, Xia Zuo's growth rate is already quite fast, after all, he is a wild soul descendant, and he has not received a systematic soul descendant education, and now it is already very good to have this level, and if it is Jasmine, she also feels that her performance will not be much stronger than Xia Zuo.

"No, I'm talking 'we' about me and my brother, and as I said, I'm actually the same kind of people. Edith shook her head and smiled.

Jasmine was stunned.

She could indeed sense that there was something special about Xia Zuo, but she didn't expect that Xia Zuo's special thing would be related to Edith, and it seemed that it was not only related to Edith.

"In other words, do you have any other accomplices?" Jasmine suddenly became alert.

"Don't be so nervous...... the corners of Edith's mouth lifted slightly, "I'm just talking about the same kind of people, and they don't necessarily be accomplices." ”

"And if you really want to say so, then your Xia Zuo is also my accomplice. Edith smiled slyly.

"I'm alone now, but I don't have any contact with anyone else, and the reason why I'm with my brother is just because he's special. Edith smiled softly.

"......" Jasmine fell silent, still not believing Edith, "You'd better not have any bad ideas." ”

"Okay, okay. Edith smiled playfully, still not caring much about Jasmine's threatening appearance.

The conversation between the two ended, and the air around them fell silent again, and the cold wind of the evening blew Jasmine's hood, and Edith's long silver-gray hair fluttered in the wind.

Peaceful and picturesque.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow swept through the sky and flew over the heads of Jasmine and the others.

Jasmine reacted immediately, and so did Edith, the owner of this dark shadow had a soul reaction!

It's a soul creature!

A soul creature will suddenly appear here!

Jasmine's spiritual power quickly condensed, trying to see the appearance of the owner of the black shadow.

However, the spirit creature flew so fast that Jasmine could barely see the face of the Shadow Master: a four-legged creature with huge wings...... But for some reason, there seems to be a mismatch between the front and back of its body: the front and back feet are quite different.

Is this the griffon? Something is wrong.

Jasmine couldn't help frowning slightly.

Edith curled the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a thoughtful smile.

"It doesn't seem like it's the griffon......"
