If I don’t become the last one, I will be immortal!

Chapter 74 Lord of the Mountain

Fanxing and Yato were running quickly in the forest, but they didn't notice that the branches were moving quickly, following them all the way.

Before they knew it, the stars had come deeper into the forest. The light here became dimmer and the temperature was much lower than outside.

"Meow~" At this moment, Yato suddenly called out to the front.

Fanxing asked doubtfully, "Why, did you find anything?"

"Meow~" Yato nodded, jumped up, and rushed forward quickly.

Seeing this, Fanxing hurried to follow.

After running a short distance, Fanxing saw a large number of intertwined branches in front of him from afar, as dense as a spider web.

A stuffed bear was trapped in the center of the branch.

Huh? A stuffed bear? Fanxing was stunned. How could there be a stuffed bear?
It was a huge pink teddy bear, round and furry, with only the belly being white. It had a big bow tied around its neck and a huge brown zipper on its back. It was nearly two meters tall.

Spirit Seed? Fanxing tried to use the Spirit Seed Atlas to look up its information, but failed.

Fanxing instantly understood that this bear doll spirit seed had an owner, and the owner was a member of the alliance like herself.

(The Dark Spirit's spirit seed does not have the protection mechanism of the Spirit Pattern Bracelet, and its information can be viewed by the illustration.)
Just when Fanxing was wondering where the owner of the bear doll's spirit seed was, the bear actually spoke.

"Um...if you can, please help me put me down."

Fanxing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that the owner of the spirit seed was inside the doll.

Obviously, the bear doll spirit seed has the same ability as Rowan's shining armor, allowing the owner to wear it to fight, which is equivalent to the spirit master mastering the fusion skills in advance.

The man's voice sounded very cold, giving people a feeling of being unkind and unapproachable.

Since he was a colleague, Fanxing naturally had no reason not to save him. She popped out her sharp nails from her ten fingers, activated her peeling skill, and intended to cut off all the branches.

Just as she was about to take action, the owner of the bear spirit seed suddenly reminded her, "Be careful, this mountain has a mountain master. All of this was done by the mountain master. You must be targeted by the mountain master now."

The so-called mountain master literally means the master of the mountain.

In some remote areas of the surface world, there are often a small number of spiritual species hidden. Because they are far away from humans, they are not affected by the weirdness.

Some of the long-lived species among these spirit species will gradually become stronger over time until they grow into powerful beings.

But because they are harmless, the Alliance is too lazy to deal with them, so these spirit species become the masters of the land with the Alliance's tacit consent.

Since the Alliance has tacitly acknowledged their existence, they must also assume certain responsibilities, such as managing the areas they are in, combing the earth veins and water veins, or protecting forests and lakes...

Fanxing didn't expect that this mountain actually had a mountain owner. No wonder people from Yunlai Village couldn't enter the mountain. It seemed that the mountain owner didn't allow them to come in.

But what's going on now? Why would someone be bewitched and go into the mountains?
Moreover, the mountain master should not attack the alliance members. If the alliance knew about this, they would definitely send people to eliminate him.

Although there were many doubts in his heart, Fanxing still waved his hand and cut towards the branches.

However, before she could touch the branch, a new branch shot out from the darkness and attacked her.

"Meow~" Seeing this, Yato jumped up and tore the branches into pieces with his teeth and claws.

Then, more branches came from all directions.

While Fanxing was using his peeling skills to continuously cut the branches, he thought to himself: Is this mountain master crazy?

The branches couldn't stop Fanxing and Yato, and soon Fanxing approached the owner of the bear doll and cut off the branches that bound her.

After escaping, she hurriedly thanked Fanxing.

"Thank you very much. I'm glad I met you."

Because the other person was inside the doll, Fanxing couldn't see her appearance, she could only confirm that she was probably... maybe... a woman.

At this time, the branches seemed to have realized that they were no match for Fanxing and Yedou, so they gradually retreated and soon disappeared into the dim forest.

The trouble disappeared, and the owner of the bear doll introduced himself to Fanxing: "Hello, Yu Ruoxue, I am from the 7th Detachment of the Hongguang City Patrol Team."

Yu Ruoxue, the 7th team? This reminded Fanxing of Luo Wen's female teammate, Yu Ruoye.

Their names are so similar, and they are both in the 7th Team. Could they be relatives?
"Hello, I'm Yu Fanxing from the 14th team." Fanxing introduced herself briefly.

"Team 14?" Yu Ruoxue was obviously stunned when she heard this.

Fanxing asked doubtfully, "Is there a problem?"

Yu Ruoxue shook her head and said, "Nothing. I'm just a little surprised that there are new members in Team 14."

The name of the 14th team is known throughout all patrol teams in Hongguang City, because their team has only two members, and they are all useless.

Captain Lu Xiaoling is the only C-level captain in all patrol teams, and he is also a stay-at-home guy. He never even attends branch meetings.

Team member He Chaoyang had been with the 14th Patrol for over a decade, making him even more experienced than team leader Lu Xiaoling. No, he was actually older than any other patrol member.

Which good person would stay in the patrol team for more than ten years without leaving? Those who are capable have been promoted to the team long ago, and those who are not capable have applied for transfer!

You said that with these two guys, how can the 14th team not be famous?
Moreover, Team 14 has not received any new members for many years, and the higher-ups generally will not assign new members to this team that exists in name only.

For a moment, Yu Ruoxue became a little curious about the stars.

Why did the higher-ups assign her to Team 14?

In fact, the reason is very simple. No one in other teams wants Fanxing and Fan Honghong.

One of them is evil and the other is useless. The other teams were worried that they would bring a big Buddha to their team, so they unanimously refused to accept Fanxing and Fan Honghong.

So the higher-ups stuffed them into 14 teams.

Fanxing and Fan Honghong still think that they have received normal distribution.

Yu Ruoxue asked, "Are you here to carry out a mission?"

Fanxing nodded, "You too?"

Yu Ruoxue nodded and thought, "Are we carrying out the same mission?"

That shouldn't be the case. If it weren't a special task issued in the form of teamwork, other tasks would immediately disappear from the task bar once they were accepted, and it wouldn't be possible for other people to accept them a second time.

So the two of them exchanged information and soon discovered that they were not carrying out the same mission.

Fanxing is investigating the disappearances of villagers in Yunlai Village.

Yu Ruoxue was investigating a special tomb-robbing gang case.

After some discussion, Fanxing guessed, "It seems that there should be a tomb in this mountain, and a spirit seed has been born in it."

Yu Ruoxue said, "Those who disappeared in Yunlai Village must have participated in tomb robbing and gotten into trouble."

Fanxing nodded in agreement, saying that the bracelet of Long Shangshui's wife should have come from a tomb in the mountains.

"But why would the Mountain Master stop us? Logically, he should be assisting us." Yu Ruoxue said, looking deep into the forest. "It seems that the Mountain Master must have reached some kind of agreement with the spirit in the tomb."

Fanxing nodded: "This is the only possibility..."

At this moment, she suddenly noticed something approaching quickly. She was about to remind Yu Ruoxue, but she heard Yu Ruoxue say:

"Don't be nervous, my spirit seed has returned."

Yu Ruoxue, like Fanxing, is of C-level, so naturally she has two spirit seeds.

In addition to the one she was "wearing", there was another one that had previously gone deep into the forest to check the situation, otherwise she would not have been trapped by the mountain master.

Yu Ruoxue's strength is not weak, on the contrary very strong. She is the strongest person in the 7th team except for the captain.

It's just that the spirit of the bear doll in her body is of the type that excels at brute force, and is a little powerless to deal with flexible attacks, so she was trapped.

The Mountain Lord's flexible branches require a weapon as sharp as the Starry Nails to cut.

Soon, Fanxing saw a puppet-shaped spirit with two children appear in her sight.

To her surprise, the two children were the missing Long Xiaofeng and Long Shangshui's youngest son Hulu.

The two children are currently in a coma.

Another thing that surprised Fanxing was that Yu Ruoxue's second spirit seed looked exactly like Yu Ruoye's ballet puppet spirit seed.

The only difference is that Yu Ruoye’s wing is white, while Yu Ruoxue’s wing is black.

When it got closer, Fanxing also discovered that the crown on this ballet doll's head was more exquisite than Yu Ruoye's, and the gems inlaid on it were also clearer and more transparent.

Other than that, it's the same.

It seems that the two are really relatives, otherwise there wouldn't be so many coincidences.

However, Yu Ruoxue gave Fanxing a much better impression than Yu Ruoye.

When the ballet puppet returned to her side, Yu Ruoxue quickly asked, "What's the situation?"

The ballet doll shook its head. Before it could catch up with the group of tomb robbers, it was stopped by the mountain owner. It couldn't break through the mountain owner's blockade and only accidentally saved two children who were walking deep into the forest.

Yu Ruoxue said thoughtfully, "It seems that the mountain master is determined to help the spirit seed in the tomb."

Fanxing went forward to check on the two children and found that they were fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

After summoning the princess to look at the two children, Fanxing said to Yu Ruoxue, "Let's go meet the mountain master."

"That's exactly what I meant." Yu Ruoxue nodded.

Then the two of them took Yato and Black Swan Dancer (the official name of the ballet puppet spirit species, the other one is called White Swan Dancer) and flew into the depths of the forest.

They did not encounter any interception along the way, and after about half an hour, they had already gone deep into the mountains.

"Wait, something's coming."

At this moment, the perceptive Fanxing suddenly reached out to stop Yu Ruoxue. Seeing this, the Black Swan Dancer and Ye Dou also hurriedly stopped.

As soon as Fanxing finished speaking, a figure riding a white deer slowly walked out of the shadows of the forest.

The man was a handsome man, wearing a green robe decorated with gold characters and leaf patterns. He had long dark green hair with light green buds growing on his hair, just like new buds on branches in spring.

His eyes are dark green and his eyelashes are light green.

There is also the white deer under him. It is tall, like a horse, and its body is snow-white, but its fur is dotted with pink plum blossom patterns. The huge horns on its head are like two peculiarly shaped plum trees, with pink plum blossoms in full bloom.

Fanxing and Yu Ruoxue simultaneously pointed the spirit seed atlas at the opposite side.

After reading the message from the other side, Fanxing and Yu Ruoxue exclaimed in their hearts at the same time: So strong!

Fortunately, it was just control, and the deer was just auxiliary. If any one of them was an attacking type, Fanxing and Yu Ruoxue would turn around and run away. After all, one of them was B-level.

There are control and support, but no big C. Fanxing and Yu Ruoxue feel that there is still a possibility of fighting.

"Are you the master of this mountain?" Yu Ruoxue asked. Before coming to this mountain, she had investigated the information of this mountain, so although she knew about the existence of the mountain master, she had never seen him in person.

Xiang Sifengshengliu nodded and said, "That's right."

Fanxing frowned and asked, "As the master of the mountain, you live in seclusion and do not compete with the world. Why would you help another spirit species to lure humans into the mountain?"

The mountain master shook his head and said, "I have no comment to make. Please return. I have no intention of fighting with you, nor do I intend to embarrass you."

Yu Ruoxue decisively refused, "It's my duty, so I'm sorry I can't obey your order. As long as you hand over the evil spirit, we will immediately turn around and leave, and we won't make things difficult for you."

The mountain master's voice turned slightly colder, "What if I say no?"

Yu Ruoxue said coldly, "Then don't blame us for disrespecting the Mountain Master."

The mountain master chuckled and said, "You just used the Spirit Pattern Bracelet to observe my condition, right? So you should know that you can't defeat me in this mountain!"

His characteristic, "Lord of the Mountain," is a special characteristic that can only be awakened by spirits with the identity of a Mountain Lord. In addition, similar characteristics include "Lord of the River," "Lord of the Forest," and "Lord of the Sea."

Hearing this, Fanxing laughed and said, "Master Mountain Master has lived in the mountains for a long time, so you may not have heard the saying...there are mountains beyond mountains!"

The Mountain Master sneered upon hearing this: "Then let's give it a try. Two mere C-level spiritualists dare to speak so arrogantly in front of this Mountain Master. They really don't know their place!"
