Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Capture of the Stone

Seeing that he was in a desperate situation, Mu Zilei immediately got up, and when he was just about to leave, Wang Ruoran's bones next to him fell down towards him.

"Senior sister, do you want to go out too?" Mu Zilei muttered to himself, while finding some strips of cloth from around, tying them up at various joints of the bones, and then carrying her entire skeleton behind her, fixing it with strips of cloth, and picking up the invalid gem ring on the ground.

"Let's go. When everything was ready, Mu Zilei turned her head to the silent skeleton behind her and said, her skull was leaning on Mu Zilei's shoulder at this time, as if nodding in agreement.

Mu Zilei walked through the shriveled and falling tree walls, and witnessed countless dry roots covering the ground along the way. A tree wall in front of him suddenly fell off, and a bright light broke into his eyes, and when he adjusted to the light and could see, the sight in front of him almost made him think that he was in a dream created by the spirit root.

I saw a mountain-sized mass of roots towering in front of me, and it was densely embedded with struggling black evil spirits, which made the originally swollen and ugly root mass even more hideous.

Suddenly, the behemoth moved, and when it turned around completely, Mu Zilei gasped in fright.

At the front of this worm-like pile of roots, Duanmu'an's head was tightly embedded in it.

"Why am I not surprised to see you standing here? A deep voice came out of his mouth.

"What the hell is going on?" After a while, Mu Zilei suppressed the shock in his heart and asked.

"I'm just finding the true body of this main spiritual root and using the Spirit Gathering Bead to refine and absorb its spiritual power," Duanmu An said, "Soon, when I absorb enough spiritual power and break out of the cocoon, I will become a person who can be compared to the Spirit Emperor realm, and even the god realm, and from now on, the entire Atlas people will bow down to me, ha-"

"I'm going to tear you to pieces. Duanmu An was about to burst into a wild laugh, but he was abruptly interrupted by another voice.

Only then did Mu Zilei notice that a face kept appearing on the root of the group, it was the one he had seen before, the bewitching woman who was transformed from the spiritual root, but her current situation was not optimistic, Mu Zilei could feel that her aura was becoming weaker and weaker.

"You are the descendant of the ghost operator, the person of the thief party association," this is not a question, Mu Zilei is more like stating a fact, then it is not surprising that they can say the oath of the Guardian Association before the twin flowers, he thought, because the ghost operator was once a member of the Guardian Society, "It turns out that Lin Dumb, no, what Wang Haoran said is the truth." ”

"I never said that I was a member of the Shoufang Society," Duanmu An suppressed the woman's objection, and the face on Gentuan disappeared immediately, "What Wang Haoran said is the truth, but I dare to guarantee that he still has something to hide from you and didn't say it." Do you know why we changed our surname to Duanmu? Not only to avoid people's eyes, but also to keep reminding ourselves that we have to take back our own things. ”

"Your own things?" Mu Zilei blurted out, as if he already knew the answer, "Linggen?"

"Back then, this section of the main spiritual root was discovered by my ancestor Ghost Operator when it was sleeping," Duanmu An said, "but he honestly dedicated this treasure that countless people coveted to the Historians' Guild at that time secretly and completely. Therefore, all the famous great historians, according to the design of the 'ancestor of the empty stone' Huang Kongshi, worked together to make an unprecedented huge empty stone, the square stone, and hid the main spiritual root in it, and my ancestor ghost operator also made a lot of efforts to this at that time. ”

"Since your ancestors were willing to sacrifice the spiritual root and create the ashlar stone together, why did you later regret it and use the spirit bead to snatch the spiritual root?"

"All this happened before his wife became ill," he replied, "and a few years after the stone was made, the beloved of my ancestor Oni Operator was unfortunately ill with an incurable disease, and the most famous great physician of the time was helpless, and he told him that there were only two things in the world that could bring people back to life and save her, and one of them was the Spiritual Root." ”

So, he begged at first, then pleaded, and finally begged the people of the Guardian Council to allow him to take out the Lord's Spiritual Root, even a small slice of it to save his wife, but most of them were ruthlessly refused, and they were afraid that they would wake up the sleeping Lord's Spiritual Root and cause an immeasurable catastrophe. ”

"My ancestor could have given up his power and fame, he could have given up the spiritual root that had made people surge, but he could not give up his most beloved wife, who was still pregnant with his flesh and blood for more than nine months. ...... He just wants to take back his own things, his own things!! That is the main spiritual root that originally belonged to him, those stubborn old men, how can they refuse? They were the ones who drove my ancestors to a dead end! For the sake of this blood feud, our ghost family will not forget it for generations. ”

Mu Zilei was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer. After a long time, he diverted the topic.

"You did it when the broken army was drained of spiritual power on the top floor of the cafeteria?" he asked.

"He came to the top floor of the cafeteria, just to avenge the broken limbs, who let him block Wang Haoran's way in front of the secret door of the labyrinth at that time, besides, I am usually fed up with his bullying of me," Duanmu An said as he tried to control the roots on his body, "At that time, we were thinking of making some hints to let Wang Haoran know that our thief would be nearby, so as to urge him to act quickly, obviously this fool has become a tool for us to warn Wang Haoran." Paper can't hold the fire, Lin Shicun's slaughter of the village will sooner or later attract the attention of the government, and then his pretending to be Lin Dumb will be exposed, we don't want to make extraneous branches when Fangshi is within reach. After all, we still have to rely on Wang Haoran to open the spiritual array leading to the square stone for us. ”

"However, I didn't expect that anyone would know that the broken army came to the roof to find me, for this reason, I was taken by the government to ask a few times, fortunately, I was suspicious at the time, and did not directly suck the broken army into a dry corpse, but made him a half-corpse who was unconscious and unconscious. ”

Duanmu continued chattering, and Mu Zilei quietly observed the surroundings, intending to find a direction to slip away.

"Speaking of which, our original target was not Wang Haoran, but you, who are also half-spirits," his voice made Mu Zilei's footsteps pause, At first, we thought that the Wang family had died, but later we realized that the real Wang Haoran was someone else, so we continued to search in the Stone Belt area, until we heard that there was a half-spirit in the Stone Village, after all, Wang Haoran's dead sister Wang Ruoran was a half-spirit, and we had no way to rule out that her younger brother was not a half-spirit, so you entered our sight, which is also the reason why I took the initiative to approach you when I was in Shashi Town, until we found the fake Lin Dumb. ”

"Looks like you're looking for the wrong person. Mu Zilei said that he was going to turn his legs and run.

But it was too late. A tree root slammed up from the ground and wrapped around his legs.

Mu Zilei wanted to break free with both hands, but two more tree roots stretched out from Duanmu Anyong's swollen roots and wrapped around his two hands respectively.

"It's not easy to get used to the shell 'body' of this root," Duanmu'an's voice was full of greed, "My friend, don't rush to the road yet, we haven't finished talking yet, there should be something on you, I will be very interested." ”

"I'm not a spiritual root, and I don't have spiritual power. Mu Zilei tried to struggle, but in vain.

"Compared to what I want, your spiritual power is simply insignificant, I just said, the great sage doctor told my ancestors that there are only two things in the world that can bring people back to life, one is the main spiritual root, and the other is ......" A tree root with five branches, with his voice, like a detector, gently swept over Mu Zilei's body until it stayed on his chest.

Mu Zilei's heart is about to rise to his throat, don't be this......

The root hand slammed into the garment, ripping off the droplets.

"You have come back from the dead under me twice - I should have guessed that this is another thing in the world that can take the soul of a dying person back from the hands of death," Duanmu'an's voice was full of inexplicable excitement, "The legendary Immortal Soul Jade, haha, with it, I will have an immortal body!"
