Chapter 2613 Wood Spirit

"It's not like you can ask this kind of question." After listening to Angel's question, Zhou glanced at the only two apprentices present: "I guess it was these two boys who asked it, right?"

Angel: "It's not important. Besides, I will ask this kind of question."

Zhou snorted coldly: "There are demons protecting me, strong winds following me, and illusions surrounding me. If you can still ask this question, you are a coward."

Angel: "Facing the unknown road ahead, there is nothing wrong with being a little timid."

Hiru and Angel were talking back and forth, and Vai who asked the question had already lowered his head in embarrassment. If he had known that the adult would be laughed at by the devil, he shouldn't have raised this question.

However, the feeling of being protected by an adult is quite good...

While Vai's thoughts were confused, on the other side, after a while of sarcasm, Hiru finally answered the question.

"For you, there are no dangers worth talking about. There are just a group of witch-eyed ghosts who go crazy at the sight of blood. If you can't even deal with the witch-eyed ghosts, you don't have to face that existence."

Putting aside the emotional language, Zhou's answer was pretty much what Angel had guessed.

Sure enough, the place where the ghosts are found is not far from the prison ladder.

However, Angel was still a little confused: "As guards, don't you stop those witch-eyed ghosts?"

"There's no need to stop them. They existed a long time ago." After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Zai said, "They were raised by that existence. It is said that they were raised to study some characteristics of Wumugui."

After Zhou finished speaking, he paused for a while, as if he was sensing the feedback from the contract. After confirming that there was no violation, he breathed a long sigh of relief: "Back then, Wumugui often wandered near the prison ladder, and he couldn't enter the real prison anyway. Prisons are like raising vicious dogs. However, as time goes by, the number of these vicious dogs increases. "

After the day's words fell, Angel heard Doakes's complaints in the psychic belt: "They were raised as an experiment, and they were actually allowed to go out and wander... That existence is really casual enough. However, The most important thing is that when other people saw it, they didn't care and directly regarded Wumugui as a 'vicious dog'? I can only imagine how crazy the prison ladder was in the past."

Angel also agreed with Doakes' words, but he only said these words in his heart. When facing the day, Angel still maintained a calm expression.

"Then, besides the witch-eyed ghosts, are there any other dangers? Are there no monsters imprisoned in the prison ladder?" Angel asked.

"As long as you don't enter the prison ladder, the only danger you will face is the Wumugui. As for entering the prison ladder..."

Zhou paused for a moment: "I can't say anything."

Everyone: "..."

Zhou: "However, I can tell you that the prison ladder has been broken, and you cannot go to the upper level. The lower level, even back then, was not in great danger."

Doakes' voice came from the psychic belt again: "What can't go to the upper level? As long as it's still in the ruins, I don't believe it can't go!"

Angel said silently: "You don't need to comment on it every time you say a word. As for the prison ladder, it may not be in the ruins."

Doakes was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

Angel: "A different space."

Once the upper and lower levels of a ladder in different dimensions are severed, no one knows which space the broken party will float to. Therefore, what Zhou said was actually not wrong.

On the other side, after Zhou Zai finished saying that the ladder was broken, he was silent for a long time: "I have already said what I can say about your question. If you have other questions, please ask them quickly. If you don't have any, it's best. If you do, don't be like this. This question is so boring.”

Angel followed Zhou's words and immediately asked a question that was not so boring and childish.

That's Kael's problem.

What bad intentions could Kael have? He just wanted to know the history of Naraku City, even if it was just a little bit.

However, after Zhou listened to Angel's question, he pondered for a long time before he finally said: "This question is definitely not from you."

Angel smiled lightly and admitted: "Among my companions, there are people who like archeology very much."

Day: "I can't answer this question. Also, I take back what I said before. I allow you to ask some boring and unnutritious questions."

Angel knew that Kael's question would definitely not be answered by Hiru. However, seeing Hiru swallowing back what he said with a frustrated yet wonderful expression, Angel felt that it was worth asking.

"Then let me change another question. This question was also asked by my companion." Angel did not hide the subject of the question this time and directly pulled Doakes out.

"This companion of mine likes to collect corpses for the forerunners, and also likes to collect some valuable things. I don't know, what advice can you give him?"

Zhou looked at Doakes, who was still a little confused after being pulled out by Angel, and sneered: "What you just said is right. There are no pioneers, they are all robbers."

After saying that, Zhou did not continue to mock Doakes. Are there really people who come here with bad intentions? Day doesn't believe it.

Therefore, although he ridiculed Doakes, he felt that Doakes might be the most real person among this group of people.

"It's not shameful to come for profit, but unfortunately, you can get very little profit in the front. If you are interested in the corpses of Wumu ghosts, you can kill some Wumu ghosts. If I remember correctly, there are two wizard-level Wumu ghosts in it. Even at the price of ten thousand years ago, these two Wumu ghosts are quite valuable."

Dox silently added in his heart: Now, it's more valuable!

Wizard-level monsters are becoming less and less in the South Region now. If you want to get them, you can only go to other worlds. Wandering wizards like Dox don't care which world to go to. But the way to go to other worlds, except that you know the location and walk through the void, is to use large-scale transmission channels, and these transmission channels are controlled by large organizations and extreme sects, and it is difficult for Dox to obtain the qualifications to use them.

Even if you really get the qualifications, after returning, the extreme sects say they want to check the things in the other world, and you can only admit defeat without a background.

So, those who are willing to fight hard find it difficult to go to other worlds. Academic wizards who are unwilling to fight hard just want to exchange magic crystals for monsters.

This means that the current corpses of wizard-level monsters are extremely valuable. What's more, they are low-level monsters like the Wumu Ghost, which are difficult to grow to the wizard level! At least they are the last few pieces in the auction.

Thinking of this, Dox has already made a draft in his mind... How to convince Angel to kill the two Wumu Ghosts.

If it really doesn't work, then he can only weigh the pros and cons of leaving the team and continuing to follow the team, and then make a decision.

However, before Dox could persuade Angel, and before Dox began to weigh the pros and cons, Zhou added a crucial sentence: "By the way, those two wizard-level witch ghosts were originally raised by that person, and they are the only two still alive. Although that person has not taken care of these two witch ghosts over the years, if you kill them, you may offend that person."

Dox: "... Kill them and leave?"

Zhou didn't care about Dox's interruption this time: "If that person really cares about the lives of the two witch ghosts, you can't escape even if you use the plane channel. If you don't care, you can kill them and continue to wander here. It doesn't matter."

In other words, this is a gambling choice.

Killing them may lead to death or life.

Faced with this choice, Dox has no doubt to choose... not to kill.

Even if there is only a 10% chance of death, as long as it is hit, it is certain to die. For wizards with long life spans, gambling with life is something that they will not do unless it is absolutely necessary.

The South Region is so big, and there are so many worlds. If you can't get the autumn wind here, then go to other places to get the autumn wind. There is no need to bet all the treasures here.

"Besides the witch ghost, what about the remains of the forerunners? And in the ladder of the suspended prison, are there no other good things?"

Zhou: "The remains of those explorers who came in first have long been torn and devoured by the witch ghosts. As for the things they left behind, maybe they are in the stomach of a witch ghost? Or in a corner inside, take some time and look carefully, maybe there will be gains."

"As for the ladder of the suspended prison..."

Zhou paused for a long time when he said this, muttering to himself. From the occasional whispers, it can be known that Zhou was testing the bottom line of the contract.

After a while, Zhou raised his head: "There are indeed some things in the ladder of the suspended prison that can be used, but without the cooperation of the formal wizard of the space system, it is basically impossible to get them. And I can't say where exactly it is."

There was a space system present, but Kael was still an apprentice, and obviously did not meet the conditions mentioned by Zhou.

"However, there is one thing that you are qualified to take. If you can take it, it will be of great benefit to you." When Zhou finished speaking, he looked at Angel. "You" was also changed to a single "you".

"What do you mean?" Angel asked.

"Don't you want to find that person? There is something in the ladder of the hanging prison that the person likes very much. As long as you get that thing and bring it to it, it may satisfy your wish."

After listening to Zhou's words, Angel did not have any emotional fluctuations, because Zhou's answer was really full of temptation.

It seemed that he could not wait to urge Angel to do this.

Generally, encountering such a situation is not a good thing. ——Angel, who was often tempted by Jon with similar means when he was a child, said so.

Zhou also noticed Angel's vigilant eyes. After a little thought, he roughly understood why Angel suddenly became vigilant.

Zhou chuckled: "Do you think I'm trying to trick you?"

Angel didn't say anything, but Dox chimed in: "This is obviously a trap. Even the being you mentioned can't get it, so why should we get it?"

Zhou: "You don't understand the situation."

In the next few minutes, Zhou briefly explained the ins and outs of this matter.

In the lower level of the Hanging Prison Ladder, there is a "spirit", not a soul, but a spirit born from all things, just like the spirits of Mirror Princess and Tree Spirits.

This spirit was born not long ago, just a few hundred years.

It is a wood spirit.

Perhaps because it has never been in contact with the outside world and has not been properly taught after being discovered, this wood spirit has a very strange personality.

It is very...cowardly.

Its birthplace was originally outside the Hanging Prison Ladder. At that time, there were many witch ghosts outside. It saw so many cruel and ugly monsters and was directly...scared to death.

After waking up again, it pretended to be dead for half a year, just because it was afraid of being torn apart by the Wumu ghost. To be honest, when it pretended to be dead, Zhou and other guards did not find it. It has a strong ability to hide, which is probably also practiced at that time.

When its spirit became more and more sufficient, it rushed into the ladder of the hanging prison as soon as possible.

At this time, the guards discovered its existence. However, due to the range of action, they could not leave here, nor could they observe the specific situation in the ladder of the hanging prison.

A hundred years ago, the existence known as the wise man wandered in the underground maze and wandered near Zhou.

Zhou told it about this matter, and Zhou did not think it was a big deal at the time. But later, Zhou found that the wise man had a great curiosity about the spirit.

He went to the ladder of the hanging prison again and again, but unfortunately he returned empty-handed every time.

At first, Zhou thought that the wise man did not find the wood spirit, but after asking, he found out... In fact, the wise man found the wood spirit the first time he went.

The wood spirit was disguised as a prison fence at the time, and it was really difficult to find it if you didn't pay attention. But the wise man's status far exceeded that of the wood spirit, and he still found the wood spirit easily.

After many exchanges, the wise man found that this wood spirit was really "cowardly". So cowardly that it didn't dare to answer the wise man's words at the beginning.

Even though many years have passed, the wise man has taught the wood spirit a lot of knowledge, but this wood spirit still doesn't believe in and is very afraid of the wise man, because the wise man's appearance... is more terrifying than the witch ghost.

"That person likes this wood spirit very much, and even regards it as a successor. But the wood spirit just doesn't trust it, and that person is also very polite. It won't bring the wood spirit out without the approval of the wood spirit. So, the wood spirit is still in the ladder of the hanging prison." Zhou paused: "If you get its approval and bring it out, I believe that when that person sees it, he won't make it too difficult for you."

After listening to Zhou's entire narration, Angel roughly understood the situation.

If it is true, maybe it can really be tried. Wood spirit, wood spirit... He has seen tree spirits and has been in contact with tree spirits for a long time. He still has tree spirit leaves on his body. Maybe he can use this to make the wood spirit trust him.

Seeing that Angel was somewhat interested, Zhou added: "However, if you cannot get its approval and still want to take it away by force... that existence will definitely appear."

Dox: "So, the existence you mentioned has been monitoring the wood spirit? If we go there, won't it also discover us?"

Zhou: "I said before that the existence regards the wood spirit as a successor, and will naturally give appropriate defensive items. As for monitoring the wood spirit, it is impossible."

Zhou did not explain why monitoring the wood spirit is impossible, but Angel explained it to Dox in the mind band.

And this explanation is very short and fast: "Another space."

Angel had said before that the ladder of the hanging prison is an other space, and Dox obviously didn't take it to heart.

"Can you tell me more about the wood spirit?"

Angel was already interested and decided to meet this special wood spirit. If he could rely on the wood spirit to pass through the hall of that existence, it would naturally be the best.

If it really doesn't work, then he can only try his luck at another entrance after going out.

Of course, Angel still has a final backup, which is the "summoning method". However, if he summoned the Iron Armor Granny, the Black Earl would probably summon his real body as well, and it would be hard to say what the fate of this ruin would be.

Therefore, Angel would not use this move unless it was absolutely necessary.
