Suburbs of Lingde City.

Jiang Chen followed the middle-aged man all the way into the forest.

This is just the edge of Shiwanda Mountain. There are no tall mountains and ridges, but only relatively low hills.

Jiang Chen followed the middle-aged man from a distance, using his spiritual sense to monitor his every move.

At a certain moment, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped at the foot of a low hillside.

Through his spiritual sense, he discovered that the middle-aged man was standing not far ahead, and then he began to look around, as if he was looking for something.

Jiang Chen naturally knew what the middle-aged man was looking for, so he didn't pay attention immediately and continued to monitor the middle-aged man's actions with his spiritual sense.

Just when Jiang Chen was concentrating on monitoring the middle-aged man, a figure quietly appeared in the woods behind him, slowly approaching him.

The figure made no sound as it walked, slowly sneaked behind Jiang Chen, and then rushed towards Jiang Chen like lightning.

Seeing that the figure was about to hit Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen, who was unaware of it, suddenly turned around and stretched out his hands to grab the incoming figure.

Although the attacking figure was agile, it was still inferior to Jiang Chen and was caught by Jiang Chen directly.

"Xiaobai, are you doing this again?!"

That's right, the figure who wanted to sneak attack Jiang Chen but was caught instead was none other than Xiao Bai.

Jiang Chen hugged Xiaobai with one hand, stroked Xiaobai's soft fur, and said softly.

"I have to say that since you drank that drop of vitality spirit liquid, your strength has really increased a lot."

"Especially your ability to conceal your aura is really superb. It was only when you came within seven steps of me that I felt it."

Hearing Jiang Chen's praise, Xiaobai's round eyes immediately narrowed into slits.

Then it seemed to suddenly remember something. It stretched out its little paw and pointed in the direction of the middle-aged man, and gestured to Jiang Chen twice. Does that mean that my mission was completed well?!

"good!"

Jiang Chen stroked Xiaobai's head again, gave him a thumbs up, and praised softly.

"You successfully lured that person here. You completed this task very well!"

Yes.

That middle-aged man was lured here by Xiao Bai. The power that Jiang Chen sensed in the hotel before was caused by Xiao Bai.

At that time, after Jiang Chen found the middle-aged man in the hotel, he planned to test whether the man was a Gu master.

So he secretly let go of Xiaobai in his backpack while Chen Jiuxing was checking in.

Then, there was this scene now.

While talking to Xiaobai, Jiang Chen's spiritual consciousness had been monitoring the middle-aged man.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen noticed something strange about the middle-aged man.

After looking around, the man began to quickly form seals with his hands and began to mutter something.

"It seems that he started casting spells to explore the source of the power before!"

Jiang Chen glanced at Xiaobai in his arms again, and then began to concentrate on observing the middle-aged man.

After a few breaths, a somewhat familiar aura emanated from the middle-aged man.

"This person is really a Gu Master!" Jiang Chen frowned slightly. At this time, he was already sure that this person was a Gu Master.

"Go out and capture him now? Then try to get something out of him?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's soft words to himself, Xiaobai immediately stood up from Jiang Chen's arms, looking eager to try.

"After your little guy's strength increased so much, why did you become a little belligerent?!"

Jiang Chen gently shook his head at Xiaobai and explained in a low voice.

"No, although we can easily capture him, it would be a bit of a surprise."

"Let's go back first. Pay more attention to him then. If we keep following him, we might be able to find something."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Xiaobai immediately fell back on Jiang Chen's hand with some disappointment. The little guy really became a little belligerent!

After explaining to Xiao Bai, Jiang Chen used his spiritual sense to detect the middle-aged man in the distance, then turned around and walked out of the forest with Xiao Bai in his arms.

However.

As soon as he took a step, Jiang Chen stopped suddenly, then turned around and looked in the direction of the middle-aged man.

Just now, he suddenly sensed something abnormal in that direction.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to release his spiritual consciousness and look in that direction, he suddenly stopped his movements the next moment.

"Someone is here? It's an earth-level warlock."

In Jiang Chen's sense, a person suddenly appeared deep in the forest, walking towards the middle-aged man.

Jiang Chen vaguely sensed the earthly aura of the man, and immediately stopped using his spiritual sense to explore there unscrupulously.

After a while.

"These two people really know each other?!"

In Jiang Chen's perception, the man who walked out of the depths of the forest appeared directly in front of the middle-aged man, and then the two began to talk.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen controlled his spiritual consciousness and slowly approached the two people. He wanted to find out what the two people were talking about.

but.

The next moment, Jiang Chen suddenly withdrew his spiritual consciousness.

"That guy has such a keen sense, I was almost discovered by him."

Just now, Jiang Chen controlled his spiritual consciousness to probe closer to the two of them, but as soon as his spiritual consciousness approached the two of them, the person who appeared later noticed it and immediately released his spiritual consciousness to explore outside.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen reacted quickly and immediately withdrew his spiritual consciousness, so he was not discovered.

However.

Just when Jiang Chen was sighing secretly, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly took out a talisman and offered it as a sacrifice, and then a light yellow light shield appeared instantly to protect him directly.

The next moment the mask appeared, an insect so small that it was almost invisible flew over from the two people.

The little bug flew directly past the shield, seemingly not noticing the person or fox in the shield at all.

"Gu insect? It seems that these two people are Gu masters!"

...

On the other side, where the two people are.

The middle-aged man walking from the hotel saw the man opposite releasing a poisonous insect and immediately asked in confusion.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

"I just suddenly sensed something abnormal in that direction." The person who followed said suspiciously, "Fujino, you were not followed here, right?"

"No." The middle-aged man named Fujino quickly replied, "I was very careful when I came out. I must not have been followed."

At this time, if there is an insider here, he will definitely be able to guess the identity of this middle-aged man.
