Chapter 388: Guarding and Stealing
More than a dozen people surrounded the big tree and immediately performed the joint blockade technique, as if they were going to seal off the entire space.
"Hmph, people from the Alliance Empire, you should show up quickly, now you have no way to escape!" Among the more than a dozen people, a middle-aged man in a white robe stepped forward.
Dressed in a crisp white robe and crowned with a high golden crown on his head, this man was a symbol of noble status. It seems that this group of people who arrived was not an ordinary guard of the Shengya Empire.
Xia Jiang and the others naturally couldn't just show up like this, they just watched silently, waiting for these people to return in vain.
Sure enough, as the white-robed man's voice fell, several people in charge of searching for the aura quickly discovered that there was no outsider's aura in the big tree at all, and not even a single double cultivation fruit was lost on the big tree.
"Report to the elders, there is no trace of the big tree being picked, and there is no trace of them in it!"
"What?" When the white-robed elder heard this, he immediately sensed it with the power of the powerful enchantment, and sure enough, he found that there was no longer the same fluctuation as just now.
The white-robed elder walked into the big tree and inspected the fruits himself, and found that none of them had been picked.
And Sean and Lila, who were in the shadows, had to be shocked at this time, the unique thing of the Double Cultivation Fruit should be the most common existence in the Shengya Empire, and this white-robed elder couldn't even find out the authenticity!
It was Xia Jiang, but in the face of the white-robed elder's investigation, he was unmoved, he seemed to have absolute confidence. But it turns out that he does have the ability to be confident.
Finding that there were no thieves among the big trees, the white-robed elder immediately swept around vigilantly: "You guys, immediately search within ten miles of here, and you must not let go of any clues, as soon as there is news, come to the shore to report!"
When several people received the order, they immediately nodded and dispersed.
After the others left, the old man glanced around again, his expression unusual.
Xia Jiang secretly investigated, and found that this old man's cultivation was not low, and he actually already had a quasi-king's Cheng dรน, and looking at the fluctuations emitted by his body, I am afraid that there are not a few magic weapons in his hands.
Sean, who was on the side, kept checking Xia Jiang's reaction, and he was secretly ready to make a move at any time.
On the side, Lila did not hesitate at all, her spiritual aura was secretly surging, and it seemed that once she moved, even if the Shengya Empire came to the master army, she would face it indifferently.
However, it was obvious that Xia Jiang was unwilling to make a move with the people of the Shengya Empire here, and for him, it was the best situation to be able to not fight.
However, just as the three of them were thinking, at this time, they saw the white-robed elder suddenly move extremely fast and came to the big tree.
Whew......
A set of transparent-colored cloth suddenly spread out from the white-robed old man's body, and it spread out as soon as it brushed the ground, as if creating a canopy, covering almost the entire tree......
"What for?" Sean in the shadows couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this.
Xia Jiang also looked at him silently, and suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, he felt that the energy fruits he had released as a disguise were being collected by the other party into a closed space.
"Could this be ......" Seeing this, Xia Jiang was very surprised, and thought that as long as the other party saw it, he would leave, but he didn't expect that they were here to collect the fruits from the tree.
But Xia Jiangzheng just thought so, and listened to this white-robed elder suddenly sweep his gaze somewhere, which looked extremely weird, and then when the fruit in the big tree was less than half collected, he actually took a very fast leap and shot in the direction where he came!
The three people who were in the dark couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene, and then they saw several figures walking away from each other on the other side of their reluctance.
These people were none other than a small detachment they had dispersed.
"Well, what's that!" One of the team members immediately spotted the big tree in front of them.
When several people heard this, they immediately swept over.
Looking at his team, and then at the white-robed elder who was leaving quickly, Xia Jiang couldn't help but be a little stunned-that white-robed elder was actually afraid of them outsiders? But obviously this was not the case, if the other party was afraid, it would not be possible to chase after them so confidently in the first place.
After thinking about it carefully, Xia Jiang suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the white-robed elder! He collected those fruits just now, I'm afraid it wasn't above board, he was the thief!?
Thinking of this, Xia Jiang suddenly came to his senses, and then swept in the direction where he left, and suddenly understood more and more. ใ
"Xia Jiang, have you found anything?" Sean looked at Xia Jiang's reaction and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Now everyone can go and search as much as they want, just try to avoid those search teams just now!" Xia Jiang immediately said confidently.
"Well, what do you mean?" Sean was even more puzzled.
"It's very simple, that white-robed elder, I'm afraid it's the one who really came to steal the fruit, he guards and steals himself!"
As soon as Xia Jiang explained this, Sean was also stunned.
Xia Jiang also immediately stepped forward and asked a few people to hide immediately, spreading the news that there were guards from the Shengya Empire patrolling around.
After receiving the order, these people immediately stopped searching around.
"But this tree ......," one of the team members apparently noticed the difference in the tree.
Xia Jiang didn't want to explain too much, when he withdrew all the energy on the big tree, all of a sudden, the whole big tree was simply a dead tree, with withered branches and leaves, and almost no half of the fruit.
After the team left, Xia Jiang completely revealed his body.
"Now you can collect as much as you want, you don't have to hold back......," Xia Jiang immediately announced.
After saying that, Xia Jiang immediately flew towards somewhere.
In this huge jungle, Xia Jiang's figure drifted like a ghost, and it was impossible to see it with the naked eye, so that it was almost difficult for the two of them to keep up.
After a while, when Xia Jiang stopped, the two of them also stopped, and suddenly, they saw another bigger fruit tree appear.
"These islands are so precious, there are double cultivation fruit trees everywhere!" Sean couldn't help but sigh.
After sighing, the three of them almost competed with each other and began to search the entire tree, and all of them did not let go of any of them.
In comparison, only two teams of other teams have found it at the moment, and one of them is not bad, and it has actually found a fruit tree about the same size as them, and it is being collected at a rapid pace at the moment.
Several of Xia Jiang's clones had already scattered in all directions, and when they came to this place at this moment, he immediately began to investigate a certain area around him, and then reminded a few people that the patrol of the Shengya Empire was already searching everywhere.
Several people didn't have the slightest doubt about Xia Jiang's words, and almost immediately began to enter their underground space.
Entering the underground space, they began to wait for their moment.
It was also at this time that a patrol rushed over.
"Is this here?" a man arrived at a rapid pace and immediately investigated the place.
But he was already late, and the qiฤ here had been restored by Xia Jiang, and he was quietly staring at them in the dark at the moment.
"Huh, why hasn't there been any movement?" When the man came here, he immediately found that he was all safe and sound, and it was not someone who was stealing the fruit.
One of the people in the team immediately said: "I still don't feel right, because the defensive seal of this tree has been broken, and there must be someone around here!"
"I don't think so, we searched carefully just now, and we didn't find any traces at all, maybe it's just some beasts. He said, adding, "Haven't you heard about the Ancient Desolate Beasts?"
When several people heard this person say this, they suddenly became very nervous, and they actually glanced around.
"No, how could there be any Ancient Desolate Beasts on these islands?" the man on the side was visibly scared.
The few people hiding in the shadows were all a little stunned, obviously they hadn't heard of any ancient desolate beasts.
Several people were also frightened by this topic, and when they found that the big tree was safe and sound, they immediately turned around and headed towards the shore.
The white-robed elder was there at the moment, waiting for them to report back.
That's right, Xia Jiang just deeply remembered that the white-robed elder explained this, so he was extremely sure that the white-robed elder was a prisoner and a thief!
And after a few people left, Sean couldn't help but wonder in his heart and asked about the ancient beast.
But obviously, Sean asked Xia Jiang the wrong person, and Xia Jiang didn't know anything about it, but in Xia Jiang's opinion, this matter must be extraordinary.
According to the rumors he had received about the existence of ancient treasures in the territory of the Mary Empire, there must be many things on this continent that the people of this continent did not know about, and this so-called ancient desolate beast must be one of them, perhaps, it is related to the remains of that ancient treasure.
Xia Jiang shook his head at this moment and said, "Don't think about this problem for the time being, let's hurry up and collect the fruit!" Xia Jiang's gaze swept towards the big tree.
Several people also reacted quickly, and immediately repeated their old tricks, and pounced on the big tree with all their might.
Since the entire team had a magic weapon shared with Xia Jiang, he was able to grasp the search information that everyone had obtained in time, and it was not long before he found that all the patrol members had returned to the shore of the island and had a round trip with the white-robed elder. Immediately, he announced that everyone could start acting immediately, and that everything except the fruit trees that had not yet been unsealed could be collected.
After receiving Xia Jiang's order, all the people on the entire island immediately began to act.
It was also in Xia Jiang's induction that the more than ten people who landed on the island turned around and left without finding suspicious thieves. In fact, it is not surprising to think about it a little, that white-robed elder is guarding and stealing, if he continues to stay here at this moment, once it is discovered that the big tree is missing almost ordinary fruits, it will definitely be questioned about him. Although, those fruits are just some temporary energy.
โ...... By the way, Xia Jiang, that white-robed elder last night, once he returns to the Shengya Empire, he is afraid that he will immediately find out that those fruits are fake, and then he will still know that there is our storage on the island!"
After hours of picking, Sean, who was filled with an entire Super Storage Ring, couldn't help but think about last night.
"So, we have to clean this island before it gets dark today, and we must complete all the collection within three days, and then return immediately!" Xia Jiang's gaze immediately turned to another island.
