Chapter 389 If You Don’t Give up, I Am Willing to Be Your Foster Father!
The two were headed for a valley, but this valley was different from anything Ji Ming had seen before.
There were no wild fruit trees all over the mountains and wolves hiding in them, nor were there seemingly empty valleys by the stream and construction sites hidden behind them.
On the contrary, there were flowers and plants everywhere, with the only exception being shrubs covered with beautiful flowers and low ornamental trees with clusters of flowers, like an exquisite and beautiful garden.
But such a bright and color-difference landscape is not necessarily a good thing. Ordinary people will feel upset and dizzy after looking at it for a long time.
And Ji Ming also noticed that in this strong and pungent floral fragrance, there was also a very light and well-hidden special smell.
Perhaps this is why there is not a single bee or butterfly here. The two together can inadvertently provoke bad emotions in visitors and lower their IQ.
Just like Bai La now, with a red face and thick neck, he was so flustered that he almost turned into an angry chimpanzee. His originally steady steps became scattered, and the direction of his advance inevitably shifted.
"Wake up!"
Ji Ming didn't want to be trapped in the outer periphery of the valley, so he released a cold air to call back Bai La's sanity.
After waking up, he shook his head and saluted his shadow.
"Uh... Sorry, I forgot to tell you! This lord is an expert in pharmacology, good at making poisons, and a great alchemist!"
"Oh."
Although the shadow's answer was still uninterested, Ji Ming couldn't help but get ready.
After staying in the other world for so long, he finally met a colleague with similar level and could sit down and communicate?
And with such a delicate and beautiful garden, how could its owner not notice the arrival of the intruder.
Therefore, after discovering that Bai La suddenly woke up, the surrounding flowers seemed to have wisdom in an instant, bending their stems and forming an arrow with their flowers.
It was clear that he was tricked, but Bai La did not show any dissatisfaction. After seeing the arrow, he saluted enthusiastically.
"Oh, great sir! Thank you for your kindness!"
The flower-level messenger codenamed Thyme did not set any obstacles for Bai La, allowing him to walk unimpeded into the depths of the sea of flowers.
But he was full of joy to meet the leader, but Ji Ming, who was hiding in his shadow, found another problem.
It seemed that the land was not only covered by the overwhelming sea of flowers, but also another thing, which was the green vines mixed in the intricate flowers, leaves and branches.
And as Bai La moved forward, the vines hidden in it became more and more dense, and they were no longer limited to clinging to the flowers and plants, but also entangled on the shrubs and even trees.
This...
Seeing Bai La's excitement of finally returning home to see his parents after three years away from home, Ji Ming did not ask this filial son what was going on, but quietly separated a shadow and reached out to a vine lying on the side of the road.
Sure enough, just as he guessed, all the vines actually came from the same plant. They should be the spies that Thyme arranged throughout the garden, which can be regarded as a magical monitoring system.
But how could Ji Ming find such a thing? Even if he took the initiative to touch it, there was no reaction. Instead, he went a step further and dug out a suspicious point.
As a person who also planted a big tree at home, he still had some experience in cultivating this special plant.
Indeed, there is magic in this world that can accelerate the growth of plants, but the higher the level of plants, the more difficult it is to grow quickly.
And if you want to keep the grown part permanently, instead of withering quickly after a little use, you need to pay extra magic to cast the shaping magic.
After all, as mentioned before, the Yangyue world also pays attention to the conservation of energy. Without magic supply, even if you force the seedlings to grow on the stone, they will die quickly due to lack of nutrition.
Therefore, Grayson can grow into a towering tree in such a short time, all thanks to Ji Ming's unlimited magic supply.
If the normal progress is followed, it will take a long time to develop such a large-scale giant plant, no matter how high the level is.
If Grayson's body is like this, then this valley completely controlled by vines must be like this, so a contradictory fact appears.
——It is impossible for a flower-level messenger to create such a defensive flower and grass maze in the wilderness just a few days after being sent here!
Baldhead, you are lying, right?
Logically speaking, Ji Ming, who was tricked into a trap, should run away immediately, but he remained calm and continued to move forward with Bai La.
Because if it was before, he would not even come with his poor combat power, but now...
It doesn't matter, anyway, I am immune to all toxins!
He even wanted to know who made a more vicious poison, this so-called flower-level messenger or himself?
Finally, the endless sea of flowers gathered in a dense forest.
This forest was undoubtedly built to block aerial reconnaissance, because right under this green dome, there appeared a small wooden house that was completely symmetrical except for the chimney.
Who would live in such a house?
Is it the old witch with a pointy nose, the little girl with a red hood, or the three little pigs?
The answer is none, because after Bai Wa stood respectfully at the door and called "Sir," what came out was the voice of a young man.
And the opponent's strength is obviously a little higher than Ji Ming estimated, because at least now, what he said is.
"This friend hiding in the shadow of the white wax, there is no need to be so shy, why don't you come forward and meet me?"
Indeed, if you are so stupid that you don’t react even when I come face to face with you, then you will be too unqualified as a participant that I want to bring in...
Then the shadow of the white wax trembled, and a large group of shadows poured out from it, converging into an abstract human shape not far away.
"As expected of a flower from the Jungle family, it can even see through my shadow and mist."
I don’t know whether it was to show off or because I didn’t expect it, but the people in the room were silent for a moment and then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, are you a friend of the Shadow Church? Bai Wa, I think you should give me an explanation?"
Bai Wa was immediately startled. He almost fell to the ground with his feet weak and he quickly started to explain.
And this kid is obviously not as stupid as he seems on the surface. He should have been organizing the language for a long time along the way.
Therefore, his answer was quite concise and concise, explaining what happened between him and the Shadow Chosen in the safest way.
After listening, Thyme was silent for a moment, and then...then she started to smile pretending to be leisurely.
"Hahaha, it turns out that's what happened. Very good, Bai Wa, please bring our friends in quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden door of the hut opened automatically. At Bai Wa's invitation, Ji Ming entered the house with him.
The furnishings inside the house continue the warm style outside. Firewood is burning quietly in the fireplace, the chandeliers cast warm light, the neat floors exude a light natural fragrance, and beautiful landscape paintings hang on the walls.
Ji Ming didn't understand art, but as a layman who had learned from the elves, he could at least tell that it was definitely made by a famous artist and was expensive.
And although judging a person's appearance by the beauty of his voice is foolish anyway, today is apparently an exception.
Because the figure sitting at the long table had the same voice as him. He was a very young-looking male mage.
In terms of appearance and dress, it was even a bit higher than Ji Ming imagined.
How high is it? Probably if he joins the crew, Jack, who was active on the Titanic, will have to change his face from Xiao Lizi.
Therefore, judging from the very normal furnishings and decorations, which are so normal that they are almost like fairy tales, I am afraid that anyone who comes here will mistakenly think that the other person is a kind-hearted hermit who lives alone.
——But the problem is that Ji Ming knows otherwise.
And considering that the high-level jungle messenger is either a lunatic like Viper, or a being developed completely as a humanoid weapon like White Wax.
In this case, it seems that the more normal the messenger is, the more abnormal he is...
Therefore, after he completed a blatant observation with the help of his shadow protection, the first words he said were——
"Mr. Messenger, as one of your potential friends, I am here to give you a warning."
But when he said this, he suddenly stopped talking.
This Riddler behavior is very badass, but even though he didn't give any hint of action, Thyme guessed what he was planning.
But he did not choose to obey, but smiled slightly.
"Divine Chosen, you may have some doubts about the unity within our Jungle Church. Let me tell you the truth. At least there is nothing that I need to hide from you."
Tsk.
When Bai Wa looked at Thyme with excitement, Ji Ming... had no objection. After all, it was just one more person to be captured.
So he chose to take a step back for now.
"Okay, can we start talking now?"
However, Thyme seemed to think that she had taken the initiative, and once again chose to throw away the words thrown by God's Chosen, and started another tune.
"Of course, friend, but before that, let's get to know each other first, right?"
There was a pause.
"Our jungle messenger doesn't have a name, but my codename is Thyme. Can you give me a way to call you?"
Thyme, viper, ash, aphrodisiac... oh, the flower level is really called the flower name, and the wood level is called the tree name, right?
"Okay, my name is..."
Eh?
Only then did Ji Ming realize that he seemed to have never given a name to the identity of [Shadow Chosen].
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to give it a name that is the most appropriate, the most interesting, and the easiest for everyone to remember.
"Hello, my name is Adam Smith."
If Thyme had touched the player, he would have been red-hot enough to flip the table by now, but he hadn't, so he just kept smiling.
"Adam...I remember."
It’s okay, brother, don’t remember it, my name will be engraved in your cute little head soon!
While they were chatting, Ji Ming had slowly found two well-hidden shadows behind them.
And before launching the attack, he asked a specific question.
"By the way, Mr. Thyme, I think your mental state is not quite right. Do you want to experience my mental health diagnosis and treatment service?"
How could Thyme understand such a thing? He frowned as he was confused by such out-of-the-box language.
"What?"
Then he felt something suddenly rise up and pierce the back of his head.
"You..."
He gritted his teeth and looked at Bai La. He wanted to curse the traitor, but found that he was also controlled.
And no matter what, the flower level was also messed up by the jungle god himself, and although the wood level was somewhat confused, it was obvious that the blood bar was not as long as his.
Therefore, soon, the ferocity on Bai La's face turned into pain, then confusion and peace, and stopped struggling.
And as a speculator of a neurotic organization, Bai La's good thing is that he is an unwavering admirer of the strong.
Thyme is more powerful than the assassin-positioned Viper in terms of ability, and has a higher status than the thug-positioned Viper, so even if he works under Viper, he will be unwaveringly loyal to Thyme.
And now, he has come into contact with a being called the Supreme God. He and the World Will teamed up with the Holy Light God to break the front line of the Shadow God. Now he can produce 10,000 soldiers every day, and the number will accelerate further in four months...
What else can I say?
If you don't give up, I am willing to be your godfather!
He knelt down with a plop, tears streaming down his face.
"Sir Messenger, I am willing to convert! In fact, I should have converted a long time ago! I have been converting since I was eight years old..."
"What?"
Before Ji Ming could say anything, Thyme got angry and scolded loudly.
"You traitor! How can you betray the Lord God! I spit on you!"
Ji Ming frowned when he saw this.
Even if this was not a direct contact, and there was no violent and bloody beating comparable to the story of the Blood Cross...but Thyme's willpower is too strong, isn't it?
But it doesn't matter! Just like the story of "The Man from Chu Has Two Wives", I just like the loyal wife!
Wait, this metaphor is a bit strange...
But he didn't have time to continue to think about it, but continued to try to control Thyme's thoughts with great effort to carry out the repair work.
However, Thyme is indeed a man. His brain is clearly running at a high speed to the point of white smoke. He forced the magic in his body to activate a magic circle hidden under his feet.
It was like an earthquake in an instant. If the materials and design of this hut were not excellent, it would definitely be shaken to collapse.
In the violent shaking, Ji Ming noticed that something seemed to be churning deep underground in this hill, and then countless life signals appeared there.
