Brilliant starlight burst out from the six-pointed star on the ashlar, and the sudden light frightened the evil spirits flying everywhere.

After a moment of silence, the cave began to tremble, and the ashline slowly rose, and the rough surface had become as smooth as a mirror as if it had been washed away from the lead. The ashlar began to tilt and turn, and for a moment it shone brightly.

The starlight shines brightly in the eyes. Eventually, a gate made of light slowly formed in front of the ashlar. The Gate of Light! Mu Zilei couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

A blade of wind slammed through his back, and a sharp pain ensued, and he touched the wound in disbelief, his hands covered in sticky blood.

He was about to turn around when two more wind blades sinked into his back.

Duanmu An, who had been stabbed by a thousand knives, cursed in his heart, "No, will you die again?" Mu Zilei thought to himself, and his body fell to the ground weakly.

Just when his body was about to touch the ground, a twisted tree root glowing with spiritual light shot out from the light gate like a giant snake, and wrapped Mu Zilei's body, and more tree roots followed, whether it was the dying Lin Dumb who fell to the ground, or Duanmu An's group of six people, all of them were wrapped in roots and rolled into the light gate.

Countless roots of trees of different sizes rushed out of the door, and they continued to fill every passage and entrance in the cave.

As the roots of the tree continued to wriggle and extend, they began to capture evil spirits. Everywhere they passed, the demons fled in terror as if they had met a nemesis.

When all the evil spirits were caught up in the roots one by one, the roots of the tree stood still. The spirits were wrapped in the roots of the tree, struggling in pain, and a glimmer of spiritual light slowly flowed from their dark soul into the roots, all through which they converged towards the deepest part of the Gate of Light.

When Mu Zilei woke up, he found himself lying in a strange place, surrounded by blood red, and the ground under his feet was crawling with dense tiny roots that looked like tree patterns and silk, as if the electrical signals of brain neurons, from time to time a little light spread from one point to all directions, and all around were covered with arm-thick tree roots, which were intertwined with each other, slowly squirming.

"What is this place?" he muttered.

"A piece of the Lord's spiritual root in the belly. ”

The voice startled him, and he quickly turned around, and Lin Dumb was tightly wrapped in a rough root wall, only his head was exposed.

"Lord Spirit Root?" Mu Zilei was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted, "Why are you there?"

"Linggen is just taking back what belongs to it," Lin Dumb said something that puzzled him, and only then did he notice that countless tiny tiny shimmering thin roots slowly squirmed on him, and the roots of his head were even denser shrouded in him, "By the way, it is learning our knowledge, yes, I feel that it is reading my thoughts, and even my memory, it seems that my life is temporarily safe until it fully understands me." ”

"Take back your own things, read your memories?" Mu Zilei felt that he was a well-trained messenger parrot, and he only had the part of learning to speak, and he finally thought of a question, "Then why can I stand here safe and sound?"

"What this spiritual root wants to get back is our innate spiritual power. We Atlas people are born with at least five spiritual root powers, inherited from our greedy ancestors, and they first came by stealing and devouring spiritual roots, obviously one of your parents is not one of these thieves, therefore, your natural half-spirit physique makes you not only unscathed when you encounter evil spirits, but also escaped the debt collection of this spiritual root. Lin Dumb said.

"But have you not escaped the clutches of evil spirits, and I have seen with my own eyes that they have no interest in you either. ”

"That's because I took a medicinal liquid called 'Broken Root Water', evil spirits are only interested in people with more than five levels of spiritual power, and my medicinal liquid can not only disperse the spiritual power I cultivated, but also have a certain chance to destroy the innate five-stage spiritual power foundation, of course, its side effects are also very serious, drinking one bottle is enough to be fatal, and I drank a total of three bottles in the end. ”

He looked at Mu Zilei with interest, and then continued to speak.

"But then again, when we were swept up here, I believed you were dead, and I wouldn't be able to last long, but when I woke up, you were alive, and I-not only didn't die, but the power of the innate spiritual root that had been destroyed in my body was miraculously restored, so I became the food of this spiritual root, and I have to say, this kind of death is more to my liking. ”

It must be the drop of water in my mouth that saved me and cured you by the way. Mu Zilei didn't say this, he diverted the topic.

"You're a member of the Thieves' Society?"

"The thieves will have a blood feud with me," Lin Dumb's tone was cold, "That fat man who is bent on killing you is the person you are looking for." ”

Duanmu An is the person of the Thieves' Society, so isn't the person he brought...... Mu Zilei couldn't think for a while.

"But at that time, I was also in the crystal secret room, and I saw the words on the red crystal ball with my own eyes, and the hall master told me that it could only be inspired by the descendants of the members of the Guardian Society, and at that time it was Duanmu An lying next to the crystal ball. He finally reacted.

"I didn't know that after me, you and that disgusting fat man followed," Lin was surprised, "but I have to tell you, when I went in, the crystal ball was unremarkable, and it took me a lot of effort and my own blood at the end to stimulate it, not the damn fat man." ”

"You didn't sneak back to attack me?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, but after seeing the words that came to mind, I was already gone. ”

Could it be that Duanmu An has been hiding in a corner of the secret room, knocking me unconscious before the hall master arrived, and then walking to the crystal ball and pretending to faint, creating the illusion that he is the one who inspires me? This idea made Mu Zilei quite uncomfortable.

"Why should I believe your words? You are not even Lin Dumb, you are just an impostor, and you are still the biggest suspect who is responsible for dozens of lives in the entire Lin Shi Village. He hurriedly raised new questions

"I didn't expect you to find out about Lin Shi Village, you are right, I am not Lin Dumb, the real Lin Dumb did not escape that night, my original name was Wang Haoran," the person who called himself Wang Haoran said, "But this does not mean that I am the murderer, all the villagers of Lin Shi Village, along with my relatives, were killed by the thieves of the Fang Society." ”

"Why did they kill these innocent villagers, as well as your loved ones?"

"It's all for the main spiritual root hidden within this ashlar, although there is only a small piece of it left. In the past few years, they have been searching for our Wang family. When we fled to the remote mountain village of Linshi Village and settled down, we were able to get rid of the thieves, but we didn't expect them to find us in the end. In order to get the real hiding place of the ashlar, they forced my father, in front of my father, one after another, to kill my relatives, using their evil spirit orb, first my grandfather, then my sister-in-law, then my uncle, then my mother, and my uncle's eleven-year-old son, at first they mistook him for me, which saved my life, and I was first hidden under the floor by my mother and escaped. That night, I listened to my relatives dying helplessly one by one, and my father never said a word, and when they finally killed my father, he was bumped into by the village chief of Linshi Village outside the window, poor old man, who was just playing chess and drinking with my grandfather as before. ”

Wang Haoran was silent for a while when he said this, Mu Zilei wanted to say some comforting words, but he found how pale and weak the language was at this time, and Wang Haoran's voice soon came from his ears.

In short, the old village chief shouted in horror and rushed out of the courtyard, his trouble made the whole village villagers also accompany their lives, the thieves will simply do nothing, and kill all the villagers, some people died under their spiritual skills, and more people were used by them as a tonic of spiritual power, and were sucked into cold dried corpses by the spirit beads. ”

"Then why are you pretending to be Dumb Lin?"

"After the people of the thieves left, I trembled and wanted to escape, when I went to the entrance of Lin Shi Village, I saw the dead Lin Dumb and his mother, a piece of paper was exposed from Lin Dumb's cold body, blown up by the wind, and fell on my hand, it turned out to be a registration form for the village exam, and I was unaccompanied, and I wanted to pass this village exam to enter the Bacon School, so that at least I could escape the pursuit. ”

"You and your relatives are descendants of the members of the Guardian Society?" Mu Zilei hurriedly asked.

"Far more than that, our original surname is 'Huang', the yellow of Huang, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, so we changed our surname, one of the main designers of Fangshi, 'Ancestor of Empty Stone' Huang Kongshi is our ancestor," he said, "Fangshi's final hiding place is only known to him, and as a secret of our ancestors from generation to generation, we have lived incognito for more than 300 years of ordinary life, until my sister has an accident, we don't know that the thief will have found us." ”

"Your sister?"

"Actually, she's my half-sister, and she's inherited her mother's bloodline, and her mother, like you, is a half-spirit, speaking of which, she and you are sisters and brothers, and she's—"

Mu Zilei read out his name in his heart, and he was surprised to find that he was not surprised at all.
