Li Tong added: "Brother Jie and I took people to the place where he disappeared, but we didn't find any traces. A person just disappeared in the forest. The only clue is that the two people who came back said that Wei seemed to be attracted by the fire."
"Soul beasts with fire attributes are very rare in the Dark Land, and the only common one is the Candlelight Spirit. According to the last report from the Spirit Hall, the oldest Candlelight Spirit has only cultivated for 6 years, so it is impossible for it to kill the third-ringed Wei."
"So we are more inclined to believe that it was done by a soul master, which is why the previous incident happened."
Boom!
Zhao Jie put the bottle of wine on the table and said, "He is more suitable to be the leader than me, but I became the leader because of my higher cultivation. I shouldn't have let him be in charge of field work. It's all my fault, all my fault!"
He started to cry while talking, and the people around him rushed over to comfort him. Fortunately, he was drunk and soon fell asleep on the table.
"You two, take Brother Jie back. Remember to ask the chef to prepare the sobering soup." Li Tong ordered two younger brothers to take Brother Jie back.
After dealing with Zhao Jie's problem, Li Tong said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Everyone shook their heads and said it was okay. Seeing Zhao Jie's expression, they knew that he really cared about the missing Zhao Wei, and the little grudge he had originally had now disappeared.
Tang San asked: "Could this be related to the person that the Spirit Hall is searching for?"
Li Tong shook her head. "I don't know. Our group is made up of locals. We never cause trouble and have a very good reputation. Our biggest source of income is assisting those who are unwilling to ask the Spirit Hall for help in hunting souls. Therefore, we have no direct conflict with the Spirit Hall and have a deep connection with it."
"In the past, the Spirit Hall would help us manage this town, including asking us to assist in investigating the spirit beast forest. But this time, the Spirit Hall didn't tell us anything."
"They even hope that we will reduce our visits to the Soul Beast Forest and keep our personnel in the town."
Hearing this, Gu You frowned, leaned forward, and asked, "Besides us, have there been other teams coming here to hunt souls recently?"
Li Tong replied: "Yes, but very few. The Spirit Hall placed most of its personnel in the Soul Beast Forest about four months ago, and we are responsible for the law and order of the town. Also because of the attributes of the soul beasts here, most soul masters do not need soul beasts of these attributes."
"Apart from your precocious little fellows (Gu You and Tang San scratched their heads), there is only the eldest lady who came last night."
"Miss? Didn't you say that the gender has not been confirmed?"
"That's another team. We are the boss here. Apart from the Spirit Hall, it's hard for other news to be hidden from our eyes and ears."
Li Tong suggested: "You'd better disguise yourself when collecting intelligence in the future, otherwise it will be very obvious to a team with a relatively large influence like ours."
Gu You nodded awkwardly, "I'm grateful for your advice. Have you ever doubted that young lady?"
"Why would you doubt it? The man next to her is a Soul King. He can kill everyone here by himself. There's no need to be sneaky."
"I see……"
"You are here to hunt souls, right? Then can you help us find Ah Wei while we are exploring the Soul Beast Forest?"
Li Tong put her head on the table and pleaded, "Of course, we also know that this is a bit unreasonable, and it may also put you in danger."
"But we really have no other choice. The Spirit Hall restricts us to only two teams operating inside. Brother Jie needs to stay in the town, and I also have to help manage the town. Other elites have already searched inside, but they couldn't find any clues."
"You are strong, stronger than all of us. So please, please help us."
"Whether it's gold soul coins or rare treasures, as long as we have them, you can take them."
Looking at Li Tong's appearance, Gu You knew that he should not be morally blackmailing him, but he really felt that he looked like he had gone to a small school for further study, and it was obvious that he was full of the spirit of craftsmanship.
On the other hand, Tang San and Xiao Wu were moved by the brotherhood between Brother Jie and A Wei. They looked at Gu You with a look that said, "If you disappear in the future, I will pay any price to find you."
Gu You is not a heartless person after all. He would still help as long as his own safety is guaranteed.
"…Okay, we'll keep an eye out inside."
Li Tong looked up in surprise, and Gu You continued, "Of course we have requests, too."
"First, we will help you find clues while ensuring safety. If there is any danger, we will evacuate immediately."
"As it should be, we don't want more victims to appear."
"Secondly, we need all your information, including the type and age of soul beasts, as well as attack methods."
"That's no problem. We have made a map of the Dark Land inside and can give you a copy. I'll let the guy who knows the most about soul beasts in the group tell you all the information he knows."
"Finally, tell us Ah Wei's information, including his clothes, martial spirit, and spirit skills. We want them all."
"Of course, of course."
After having a good meal and tea, the group went to a hotel near the Taixun Group’s base to rest.
"Xiao San, Xiao Wu."
"Understood." "No problem."
Tang San summoned a blue silver grass and gently swayed it in his palm. A faint fragrance that was almost inaudible filled the room. Meng Yiran walked to the window and opened it a crack to allow the fragrance to float outside.
Xiao Wu entered the spirit possession mode, her second spirit skill lit up, and she put her ear against the wall to carefully distinguish various sounds.
A quarter of an hour later, they both said at the same time, "It's safe, no one is watching."
"Very good, now let's analyze the information we have so far." Gu You called everyone to come over, "First, let's look at Lanta's spirit ring. This is the fundamental purpose of this trip. Lanta, the exact location."
Ranta immediately replied, "It grows on top of a huge rock by a stream near the central area. So it is not blocked by the tree canopy and absorbs the moonlight to grow."
"That's great, plus they'll provide a more detailed map, so we can find it as quickly as possible and solve the problem first."
"Second, it's the commission from the Taixun Group. What do you think?"
Xiao Wu raised her hand and said, "I think we should help Lanta get the spirit ring and then go to the place where he disappeared to see if we can find any clues."
Ranta objected: "This is too difficult. Even experienced soul masters like them can't find any clues. We may return empty-handed."
Meng Yiran also agreed with Lanta's opinion, "What we should do is to help Lanta get the spirit ring as quickly as possible, and then go back and tell my grandmother to ask her to help."
Meng Yiran regretted not letting Chao Tianxiang come along. She did not tell Chao Tianxiang what happened as Gu You had said and let her decide whether to lead the team. Instead, she told her directly that this soul hunting was very simple and asked her not to come along.
I heard that the soul beast forest I went to this time only had hundred-year soul beasts, and Chao Tianxiang also wanted to go back to her family to visit Meng Shu, so she didn't insist. If she knew it was a dark place, she would probably follow secretly.
After listening to the opinions of the three people, one supported and two opposed. Gu You turned to look at Tang San: "Xiao San, what do you think?"
Tang San came back to his senses from his thoughts. Emotionally, he thought that he should do his best to help Zhao Jie find Zhao Wei, or at least find some clues before leaving.
But reason told him that the water was very deep and he couldn't grasp it with only four second rings and one first ring. He took the spirit ring and ran away, saying that he didn't find anything.
Tang San thought again and wondered what would happen to him if Gu You or Xiao Wu disappeared.
"Probably even crazier than Zhao Jie." Tang San knew clearly that with his own character, no matter what it was, as long as it dared to reach out to Gu You and Xiao Wu, he would use all means to completely destroy it.
"Let's help Lanta get the spirit ring first, and then go to the place where Zhao Wei disappeared. With my Blue Silver Grass and Xiao Wu's perception ability, we may find some new clues."
"It's over, it's over, it's 2-2 again, how come the decision is in my hands again?" Gu You looked calm, but he was panicking inside.
Although he was panicked, Gu You would not evade his responsibilities.
"As of now, we have three changes that are different from the past."
"The Spirit Hall searching in the forest, the Taixun Group where Zhao Wei disappeared, and the noble lady who is suspected to be here to hunt souls."
"We shouldn't worry about it, Miss. She's probably really here to hunt souls. We don't need to pay too much attention to her."
"We have collected some information about that young lady." Meng Yiran said, "She came from the Xing Luo Empire and brought only three people with her. Only one of them is a spirit master, and the other two are ordinary people who take care of her daily life."
"The only soul master should be the powerful one at the Soul King level. It seems that we don't need to consider them too much." Gu You nodded and gave Meng Yiran a thumbs up.
"The remaining issues are the Spirit Hall and the Tai Xun Group."
Tang San said: "There is nothing wrong with the Taixun Group. The food was not tampered with, and Zhao Jie was really drunk. All the reactions when Li Tong asked us for help were normal."
"There's no malicious intent on their part," Xiao Wu added.
“Is that so…” Gu You touched his chin. Since Tang San and Xiao Wu had confirmed it, the disappearance of this Wei was probably an emergency and not a bait.
"Then the last question is the Spirit Hall." Gu You's eyes became deep, and he undoubtedly entered a state of thinking.
Seeing that Gu You was thinking, no one made a sound. The only sound in the room was the friction sound of the swaying blue silver grass.
"Soul Beast Forest - a dark place, dominated by the negative soul beast attributes of darkness."
"All the Spirit Hall personnel entered the Spirit Beast Forest and even gave up managing the town. They are suspected to be wanted criminals."
"People who should not have disappeared suddenly disappeared without leaving any trace."
Gu You's lips moved slightly, and he uttered three words: "The Fallen."
With this attribute and the disappearance of soul masters one after another, Gu You couldn't think of any other possibility except the Fallen who was the predecessor of the evil soul master.
"What?!" x2
Hearing Gu You's words, Tang San and Xiao Wu couldn't help but make noises. Lanta and Meng Yiran were confused, not knowing what a Fallen was.
After hearing about the battle between Gu You and the other two and the Fallen last year, and what the Fallen did to a peaceful town, Lanta and Meng Yiran, who were usually very cold to outsiders, also looked furious.
"Because of the Spirit Hall's suppression, the Fallen have not become a force to be reckoned with. The Spirit Hall may not be investigating the Fallen this time, so there's no need to be so nervous."
That being said, it was totally unfounded. Gu You's intuition told him that this soul hunting would not be smooth sailing and he had to be fully prepared.
The candlelight flickered, and a man covered in a black robe let out a harsh laugh. The human skin book in his hand glowed faintly with blood.
"Hehehe, it will take some time. It will be done soon."
Under the man's feet were all the missing soul masters. Their faces were bloody and their fingers were stuck in their faces. They looked terrified, as if they had seen something horrifying before they died.
The most important thing is that there are no eyes on their faces, only two black holes there.
I played some fishing last night, and I can only say it was so cool, Sword Beast is really fun (-w-`). Why are there two new cards in Mingjie, and I surpass the dragon? ? ? Please recommend and monthly vote~~~
Chapter 141 Gravity
Outside the town, Zhao Jie, Li Tong and a group of younger brothers saw Gu You and his group off.
"I'm sorry, little brother. It's obviously our business, but we still have to trouble you." Zhao Jie felt embarrassed that his brother took advantage of his drunkenness to tell others about the matter and asked others for help.
Gu You said: "It's okay, we also got your map, so we are even."
"But there is one thing I still need to say in advance," Gu You said in a serious tone: "After we go in and get the spirit ring, we will try our best to help find Zhao Wei's whereabouts, but if we encounter an emergency, we will put our own safety first."
"I understand. If there is any danger, please come out immediately. We will handle Wei's problem ourselves."
Li Tong stepped forward and handed a token to Gu You. In the middle of the token was a huge golden word "Xun".
"This is the highest-level token of our Taixun Group. If you encounter a member of our group, just show this and they will fully assist you."
Gu You nodded, took the token and put it in his arms.
"lets go."
Gu You led everyone towards the Soul Beast Forest. After passing the checkpoints set by the Spirit Hall, in the buffer zone, Gu You said, "Everyone remember, move within a 5-meter radius with Xiao San as the center."
"When you are doing something alone, you must tell Xiao San, and you can only leave the team with blue silver grass tied to your wrist."
