Chapter 299 Above the Golden Tree (6K)

Seeing Xiong Zemo's big hand stretched out, Xu Le reached out and wiped his suit. It seemed that he disliked his dirty hands and wanted to wipe them clean.

But after wiping his hands, he didn't shake Xiong Zemo's hand, but said with a little regret:
"Hey, you don't know, the lighthouse councilors didn't agree to my request, which made me very unhappy, so...you seem to be happy too early."

Xiong Zemo:?

Jin Mingzhu: ...

Is this something a normal person can say?He's still an MP?Does he have any qualities.

Xiong Zemo withdrew his hand expressionlessly. Although he was also angry about Xu Le's actions, he would definitely not show it at this time.

But as soon as Xiong Zemo withdrew his hand, Xu Le stretched out his hand again.

"Huh? I wiped my hands clean, so I don't want to shake hands? Oh, you lighthouse people are really rude."

After Xu Le had finished speaking, Jin Mingzhu looked at Xiong Zemo. She now understood why Xiong Zemo killed Xu Le.

Such a guy, if it were her, she would probably do it too.

"Mr. Xu Le really likes to joke."

"Yes, yes, I like to joke the most. Don't take it seriously. I'm just a researcher. I'm weak and helpless. I'm very afraid of your retaliation."

Jin Mingzhu: ...

This petite woman took a deep breath, facing Xu Le, she still kept her smile.

But she didn't continue talking, and continuing to talk would only make herself more angry.

Xiong Zemo suddenly said:
"Mr Xu Le looks very much like a friend I know."

"I'm like a friend that District Chief Xiong knows? It's a pity that I'm a man, and you are also a man."

Xiong Zemo: ...

"He was a very capable person, but he died in a previous accident."

"I think...the person who died in that accident must not be just your friend, there must be others."

"Yes, many people died in that accident. The Kuroshio has caused too much harm to this world. Because of this, we should work hard to drive away the darkness and seek light for this world."

Xiong Zemo's words made Xu Le suddenly silent, then nodded and said:
"Indeed."

"I still have something to do, then, Mr. Xu Le, we will leave here."

"it is good."

Xu Le nodded, the conversation just now was not just sarcasm.

He is also observing, observing this tall Xiong Zemo puppet.

This is a puppet with an emotional connection, at least he can show anger, with eyes and expressions that are almost equivalent to normal people.

Skin, body, and even body odor are no different from normal people.

This is a legendary human puppet and the real ancient Yinduo ancient technology.

These are all very useful combat intelligence.

As for what Xiong Zemo said at the end...

The lighthouse people are indeed doing the search for light, and the original reason why Xiong Zemo killed them was because they needed to maintain the rationality of the golden light tree.

He knew too much, things he wasn't allowed to know.

So from Xiong Zemo's standpoint, in order to maintain the light, he naturally had to get rid of himself.

It's not just them, those ancient Yin have many descendants, their goal is also to seek the light, everyone said their goal is very righteous.

But in the process, there will always be some shady means, killing, betrayal, using power for personal gain, etc.

From Xu Le's point of view, this is an absolute vendetta, there is nothing to say.

"Shall we go back?" Wang Shu asked.

After turning around, Xu Le didn't find any useful information on the periphery of the tower, and the guards here were too strict, and he couldn't use spells in public.

In this case, going back is naturally the best choice.

"Let's go, there's no point in staying here anymore."

They returned to the lounge, and as soon as they entered, they saw Wang Man standing there meditating.

Xu Le didn't bother her, but instead looked at Ailey and Wang Shu. It was impossible to rely on him to collect information by himself. In this case, you need to rely on your teammates.

"Tell me about the situation just now, and the information you have collected. Let Aerie start first."

Gouzi took out the paper and pen, drew a simple picture, and handed it to Xu Le.

"First of all, it is the environment here. The wind here advances upwards in a circular winding manner, which means that there should be a place like a vent on the top of the inner area.

But also because of this upward ventilation, I can't collect the smell from above, and I don't know what's on it. "

Xu Le nodded. Although he couldn't find a way up, Alley's confirmation was still very important.

There is indeed an upward area here, but it is not known whether there will be personnel of the golden light tree system on the top of the tree, such as the Illuminati.

"Is there any other information?"

"The woman you asked me to pay attention to just now, I also paid special attention to her body. There is indeed a strong smell on her body. Although she is covered with perfume, that smell cannot be covered with simple smell. It is the smell of decay. gas."

When Alley mentioned the rotten breath, Xu Le, Wang Shu, and Gu Beichen were stunned at the same time.

This rotten smell... they are no strangers.

The former Bai Jing also had it.

At that time, Bai Jing was already terminally ill. She often used cologne and heavy smoke to cover up the rotten smell on her body. Xu Le had also smelled it.

Not to mention Gu Beichen and Wang Shu who have followed Bai Jing for a long time.

However, the aura on Jin Mingzhu's body seemed to be weaker than that of Bai Jing.

"It stands to reason that Jin Mingzhu is the head coach of the lighthouse fighters and a skill modifier. It is definitely not easy for her to become a councilor. There is a high probability that she was punched..."

Xu Le glanced at Ailey hesitantly, but hesitated to speak.

The dog embraces:

"Speak up if you have something to worry about."

Xu Le clicked his mouth:

"But this warrior... don't look at me like that, I definitely don't mean to look down on warriors, but what I mean is, the upper limit of this warrior is level 4.

Normally, the limit of a warrior is level 4 + top fruit + Sha, and Sha is not a power that everyone can easily possess.

Compared with you, this golden pearl will even lack a bonus of evil, and of course you will also lack the blessing of the top fruit.

Then can you judge that the strength of this golden pearl should be similar to yours? "

Ailey frowned slightly, Xu Le was used to insulting martial arts every day.

But she also had to admit that what Xu Le said made sense.

"It should be about the same. At least I have been in Zion for so many years, and I have seen so many warriors, but I have not seen one who can break through the 4th level limit of warriors."

"Since boundaries exist and are difficult to break through, why does Jin Mingzhu become a member of parliament? Because she is beautiful? I think she is not as good as you."

Allie nodded, very useful:
"I think so too."

"So, what does she rely on?"

While Xu Le was speaking, Wang Shu stretched out his finger, and a small golden sapling grew out of the fingertip.

"Could it be this thing, or something like that?"

Warrior Potion!
Different from Xi'an's development of technology, the original idea of ​​the lighthouse was to develop the potion of life for warriors, to fully develop the potential of warriors, to overdraw their energy, so that warriors can reach the limit of human beings within a certain period of time.

Just like Bai Jing, she is a good example.

With very mediocre qualifications, he has almost reached the pinnacle of warriors.

Xu Le recalled just now, especially Xiong Zemo's attitude towards Jin Mingzhu.

Humility, obedience, obvious subordinate gesture.

What level is Xiong Zemo?
Strong, a very powerful level 4 puppet master. Because he doesn't have much combat experience, Xu Le has no idea how strong Xiong Zemo is.

All he knew was that the puppet of the strong man was just a puppet, and he could almost wipe out them at that time.

Although they were weak at the time, there was still Gu Jianuo, a level 3 alchemist.

But even so, gathering the power of everyone killed a puppet. When the tall and thin puppet appeared, Xu Le was full of despair.

Such a person can obey Jin Mingzhu and keep a low profile enough.

Xu Le thinks it's not just because of status. If Jin Mingzhu doesn't have the strength, Xiong Zemo doesn't need to bully her at all, just play with his own.

Therefore, this golden pearl also needs to be carefully paid attention to, so as not to affect the overall situation because of wrong judgments.

"Can you feel the strength of this golden pearl?"

"I can't feel it."

"I can't feel it."

After collecting the information from Alley, Xu Le looked at Wang Shu again.

"Brother Shu, tell me about your discovery. Is there any important information?"

"This is indeed the same source as my abilities, they are flowing, above."

Wang Shu's information is very brief, mainly because Alley has already reported other information, and the only thing that can be confirmed now is that there is something on it, but I don't know the specifics.

"Ok."

Xu Le finally shifted his gaze to Gu Beichen:

"What about you?"

"What about me?" Gu Beichen looked blank.

"Is there any clue of information?"

"What information clue?"

"It's about this place."

"Oh, the guards here are very handsome."

"get out."

Xu Le was a little angry. Why did he bring this idiot here, which seriously affected his mentality.

The group of people had just finished their discussion, and Wang Man just finished her meditation. She pulled out and waved to Xu Le, beckoning Xu Le to come over.

"what happened?"

"Take my hand and let you see something." Wang Man held out his finger to Xu Le.

Xu Le hesitated a little, but he stretched out his hand without thinking too much.

When his palms touched Wang Man, they were bathed in blazing brilliance.

Everything around becomes frozen.

Xu Le turned back to look at the others. All of them were normal, but his vision was hazy and he couldn't see things around him clearly.

Shifting his gaze, Xu Le actually saw himself from this hazy state.

He still maintained the posture of holding hands with Wang Man.

Wait, Wang Man is here too, so what does this state belong to?Out of body?

"what is this?"

"This is the passage that Master Guangzhu opened for me. Master Guangzhu is indeed here. Only when I am close enough to Master Guangzhu can I use this ability."

"What can you do in this state?"

"Being invisible, passing through walls, and floating." Wang Man said with a smile.

Xu Le's eyes lit up when he heard her say that.

These abilities can't be said to be particularly powerful, but they are indeed particularly useful at this time.

At least it helps them see what's on it.

"This kind of out-of-body situation isn't dangerous, is it?"

"Of course not. Brother Xu Le can control his own soul. It's actually very simple."

"How to do it?"

"Take my hand and feel it."

Wang Man briefly taught Xu Le about this method of leaving the body.

Xu Le seems to be very familiar with this form, and after just a few glances, he roughly understands the method.

"Can we go up now?"

"Okay, but brother Xu Le must hold my hand. If we don't have Lord Guangzhu's protection here, we will be discovered."

Find?Xu Le nodded slightly.

Then the two began to float up and move up, the speed was not fast, and it took the two of them nearly a minute to reach the ceiling.

"here."

Wang Man pulled Xu Le and came to a section of the air vent. The rotating fan seemed to be automatic, and it would bring the wind upward.

Wang Man received it with one hand, and the fan in front of him seemed to be stuck by something.

She quickly grabbed Xu Le:
"Quick, hurry over."

Although Xu Le didn't understand the situation, it's better to do it at this time.

Crossing the fan, Wang Man began to explain;
"Here is a tree."

"I know."

"This is not the tree of ancient sounds."

"I know that too."

Wang Man: ...

"Since Brother Xu Le knows all about it, why didn't he tell me? I spent a lot of time investigating this place before."

"Actually, we have discussed it before, haven't you heard it?"

"You're always behind my back when you talk."

"No, it's just that we are afraid that speaking too loudly will disturb others."

After a few awkward chats, Xu Le and Wang Man had arrived at a new level.

The first floor is an area full of golden runes.

"What... are these?" Although Xu Le was puzzled, he felt vaguely familiar with these runes.

Sure enough, after seeing these runes, the tree of souls was also slightly touched.

Is this reminding him to use the reincarnation of the underworld to collect these runes?
Xu Le stretched out his hand subconsciously, but Wang Man interrupted him directly:
"No, Brother Xu Le, if you touch these runes, you will definitely be discovered by the guards here, which is very dangerous."

"guard?"

Wang Man pointed to the golden rune on it, Xu Le looked carefully, and there were some wriggling things hidden in the rune.

A few faceless men hiding between the runes.

Xu Le stared at the faceless man for a while, and the faceless man actually felt something.

On its empty golden face, one eye suddenly opened, a vertical eyeball, and turned to look in the direction where Xu Le and Wang Man were.

Wang Man quickly grabbed Xu Le, avoiding the sight of the golden faceless man.

Although the Faceless Man sensed something, it didn't seem to be able to see Xu Le and Wang Man. After wandering from their original positions for a while, the Faceless Man retracted his gaze and hid it among the runes.

"These golden creatures should be the guards here. Although they can't see us, their perception is very keen. If you don't pay attention, there is a possibility of being discovered by spirits."

"Understood." Xu Le nodded.

It's a pity that there is no physical body, and there is no way to use the ancient sound multi-horizon.

Otherwise, you can also carefully investigate the specific attributes and levels of these golden faceless men.

"Continue to go."

"it is good."

Crossing the magic circle protected by runes, Xu Le and Wang Man carefully avoided these faceless men. There are a lot of them, hidden in every corner here.

Leaving the magic circle and continuing upwards, a magnificent scene appeared in front of Xu Le and Wang Man.

The golden branches wrapped around the inside of the golden tree in strange postures, crossed and circled, stretching endlessly, with a continuous flow of golden white light, as if a layer of golden current passed through the branches.

The inside of the golden tree is completely lit by these golden energies, as if a layer of golden dust was sprinkled in the daytime.

"Isn't it beautiful here?" Wang Man asked.

"It's really beautiful."

Xu Le also had to admit that, in terms of the magnificence and the style of the entire environment, there is indeed something here.

Those swaying golden branches feel like the tentacles of creatures, they can move and glow, so magical.

"I checked here before, there should be no more creatures, let's just keep going up."

"it is good."

This section is very long, and Xu Le has seen all kinds of gorgeous scenery.

Through the tree, they found that their position had exceeded the place where the normal clouds floated, and when they looked down, they were already covered by white clouds.

Soon, the appearance of the Golden Bright Tree changed.

The original golden trunk gradually dissipated and turned into a withered red.

It's not really about to wither, the trunks here are still very vibrant, but generally speaking, they are far from the brilliant colors before.

It felt like a bough of pure gold turned into a bough of flesh.

And the more upward, the more obvious this situation is.

"How do you feel that corruption is starting here?"

"It is indeed corrupt, but I don't know what the specific reason is."

The two gradually floated, and after passing through a few clouds, a ring-shaped platform appeared in their field of vision. These platforms looked like white jade carvings.

Xu Le looked at the reliefs, angels, tentacles, monsters, and the moon.

Some of them are very similar to the full moon gods I have seen. As for the monster with big eyes, Xu Le doesn't know if it is the full moon itself.

When Xu Le looked at these reliefs, these reliefs moved slowly, and the monster with big eyes focused his gaze on Xu Le.

This was something Wang Man had never encountered before.

Their eyes met for a moment, and Xu Le didn't panic. Although he couldn't use many abilities in the state of soul, he could still use the tree of soul.

He wrapped his soul in branches.

Look at the statue in a strange state.

After a long time, the statue looked away from him, and Xu Le heaved a sigh of relief.

Xu Le did not get rid of this state, but still looked at the white jade platform.

Scattered red-robed monks could already be seen here, and their appearance was somewhat similar to the Illuminati believers Xu Le had seen.

On the tower, is it really the place where the Illuminati is located?
Xu Le moved a little closer, and took a closer look at the monks in red.

But when he took a closer look, he was taken aback by this man's appearance.

Its face has completely rotted, just like the rotten golden light tree under its feet at this time, the face of the monk in front of him has completely turned red.

The mold mixed with the rotten cheeks, and he trembled when he walked, as if his skin might fall off at any moment.

It's hard for Xu Le to imagine whether this person is considered a human being, and whether he also has the rotten aura of that special warrior.

It's a pity that he has no sense of smell, and he has no way to judge the situation here.

But even so, the monk still clasped his hands together, covered most of his body with a red monk coat, and prayed devoutly around the white circle, not knowing what they were praying for.

There is a new area above the white circle.

The beautiful domed buildings, like mushrooms hanging on the tree, surround the golden light tree.

But when we got here, this tree was no longer a golden light tree.

It's a rotting crimson tree.

The higher you go, the more serious the decay.

There are also red monks in those domed mushroom-like buildings, but as they get taller, the degree of rot on these red monks becomes deeper.

Some of the red monks' bodies have become entangled with their monk's clothes.

Flesh and plants eroded each other, making them look like trees and people at the same time.

When Xu Le watched this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. If these people were all affected by the golden light tree, would Wang Shu also have the possibility of such distortion?
After all, the energy of the Golden Bright Tree also flows in his body.

Homologous energy.

"Continue to go up?" Wang Man saw that Xu Le's face was not very good-looking, and asked cautiously.

"Well, keep going up."

Going up, the two came to a garden-like area. Red flowers can be seen everywhere, and these flowers are carefully pruned, which is obviously different from the messy ones below.

Except for the flowers, everything around the garden is empty, and there are no traces of monks.

Xu Le grabbed Wang Man and took the initiative to float to the garden area.

I took a close look at these flowers. Although they are bright red, they are full of corruption.

Even approaching in a soul state, Xu Le felt a strong pollution.

Even if these flowers are not the source of corruption, they are absolutely closely related to corruption.

Turning his head to look in the middle of the garden, it was empty, and there were some traces of footsteps on the ground. It seemed that people often came here, but Xu Le didn't find any traces of people here.

"Not here?" Xu Le murmured.

"What's wrong?" A voice came from his ear.

Xu Le looked at Wang Man, who had a strange expression on his face:
"Brother Xu Le, why are you looking at me like that?"
