"Child, come...come..." An extremely gentle and kind female voice came from the depths of the forest, just like a mother's call.
Chen Xuan and Yang Zhu looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they immediately stood up and walked towards the source of the sound.
Soon, the two came to an ancient tree in the sky, and saw a doe emitting a soft green soul light and full of fairy spirit standing in front of the ancient tree.
"Are you the second level weapon spirit?"
While Chen Xuan was surprised, he also felt an inexplicable sense of comfort and security in his heart.
Yang Zhu's eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of disbelief.
"Kid, you guessed it right."
The deer said with a smile: "I am the mother who gave birth to all the forests in the starry sky. People call me the patron saint of the forest. I don't know which terrifying existence imprisoned me in this tower. I am always weak.
I have been resisting the soul-eating beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest and have been unable to escape. I only sensed your presence today. I think we should be friends, not enemies."
"Guardian of the forest?
As expected, the second-level weapon spirits are much more powerful than me."
Yang Zhu finally remembered the legend about the Mother of the Forest of All Realms.
Chen Xuan looked puzzled: "Why did that terrifying existence imprison you in the Eight Pagodas?
There seems to be no connection between the two identities."
"Who knows?"
Yang Zhu smiled bitterly, "Maybe the Eight Pagodas are just an insignificant plaything to that terrifying existence."
"Let's briefly talk about the situation with the patron saint of the forest."
Chen Xuan said, looking at the sacred deer emitting green light in front of him, and said boldly: "If you don't mind, I will call you Aunt Sen."
"Son, I don't mind at all. Please tell me about the situation."
The patron saint of the forest is obviously a very talkative woman.
So Chen Xuan quickly explained the identities of himself and Yang Zhu, as well as their purpose of coming.
After hearing this, Shenlu fell into a brief period of contemplation, then raised his head again: "My child, I can regulate the flow of time on the second level and let you absorb Yuan Qi. As long as you can help me escape, I can also send it to you.
The Law of a Forest and the Law of the Soul, you should know how rare these two laws are."
"Then I would like to thank Aunt Sen in advance. Next, I will improve my spiritual will as soon as possible and help you kill the soul-eating beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest so that your soul will no longer be threatened."
When Chen Xuan said this, Shenlu naturally had no objection.
However, until Chen Xuan's soul power increases, the terrifying soul-eating beasts in the core area of the Soul Hunting Forest still have to rely on the sacred deer to resist them.
The Guardian God of the Forest not only mastered the advanced law "forest" derived from the Law of Wood, but her spiritual will also reached a terrifying level above the shocking level, and this was despite her being in a very weak state.
In the next few days, Chen Xuan continued to hunt shocking-level entry-level and low-level soul-eating beasts. His soul power increased rapidly, and he would soon be able to break through again.
But before that, Chen Xuan needs to upgrade his cultivation level to the level of Creation, so that he can withstand the higher intensity of the True Thunder Soul Forging.
After almost a day in the outside world, Chen Xuan came out of the Babu Pagoda and conducted library management work for an hour.
After what happened yesterday, the students and teachers who came to read today looked at Chen Xuan a little differently.
But the situation that Chen Xuan expected did not happen. The chief dean Zu Zhitang and the deans of all major branches actually ignored him, perhaps because of the existence of Xu Lao.
Among the twenty-six administrators of the Imperial City Library, more than half of them have hidden their cultivation, and Chen Xuan is not the most special one.
Therefore, Chen Xuan didn't have so many worries in his heart. He adopted an attitude of remaining unchanged and coping with the ever-changing situation, working and cultivating as usual every day. Anyway, no matter what happened, he could still rely on the eight pagodas to save his life.
That night, Chen Xuan confirmed that everyone had left. He was about to close the hotel, but found a shadow appearing on the third floor.
Chen Xuan didn't sense this shadow at all just now.
He was slightly startled, but at first he stood still and watched quietly as the black figure walked toward the restricted book area on the third floor.
The forbidden book area cannot be seen with the naked eye. Although Chen Xuan knows how to open it, he has never entered it.
Chen Xuan would not venture into the forbidden book area without being sure.
God knows what else besides banned books exists in the forbidden book zone?
The dark figure on the third floor walked up to a wall, cast spells with both hands, and whispered an ancient spell that Chen Xuan couldn't understand.
The next moment, the shadow's hands lit up with a faint light, with two miniature magic circles surrounding the palms, and they were printed on the wall.
The wall immediately appeared with numerous restrictive formations, and the black shadows flew away, revealing their true colors.
Chen Xuan's eyes changed when he saw it. He didn't expect that this sneaky guy was actually Jing Yu, the branch director of Crimson Laurel Branch.
Only Mr. Xu, Zu Zhitang and the administrator can enter the forbidden book area. Jing Yu dared to break into the forbidden book area privately. His behavior is very suspicious.
What puzzles Chen Xuan the most is that Mr. Xu didn't come out to catch the current situation.
He found that there were quite a few weird people in this college.
In line with his duties as an administrator, Chen Xuan coughed to express that he was being ignored.
Jing Tang looked down from the third floor with a cold, snake-like gaze. The next moment, he appeared directly in front of Chen Xuan, and once again stared at Chen Xuan for several seconds like a welcome party.
"Dean Jing, it seems you have a good relationship with Mr. Xu."
Chen Xuan's words brought Jing Yu back to his senses.
"Boy, no matter what your plans are, I advise you to stay away from this place."
Jing Yu suddenly said something incomprehensible.
Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel a little speechless after hearing this. It seems that you, the branch dean, are the one who is plotting something secretly, right?
Jing Tang was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and added: "You didn't see anything tonight, otherwise the library would have welcomed its twenty-seventh administrator soon."
Chen Xuan said nothing and watched Jing Yu disappear into the night.
He was about to close the library door when a familiar figure walked over from the darkness, and the moonlight illuminated the figure's face.
It's Qi Luo, the black weapon defense teacher.
"Teacher Qi?"
Chen Xuan was slightly confused and didn't understand why Qi Luo appeared at this time.
"Manager Chen, did Jing Yu, the director of Crimson Laurel Branch just now, want to enter the restricted book area?"
When Qi Luo spoke, he specifically glanced in the direction where Jing Yun disappeared, and his tone was very serious and solemn.
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and replied calmly: "What's wrong?"
"I suspect that Jing Yuan may be one of his followers, so I have been keeping an eye on him secretly. Manager Chen, you should know very well who are the graduates of Crimson Laurel Branch. How many times has Jing Yuan been imprisoned in the Imperial Prison?"
In the past ten years, his behavior has become more and more sneaky recently. The dean is busy with other affairs and has not paid attention. As a teacher of the college, I must take the responsibility of protecting the college and students. Manager Chen, when you see Jing Yuan in the future, you must
Be careful."
Qi Luo's words showed a heart-breaking righteousness, giving Chen Xuan a very safe and reliable feeling.
"By the way, Jing Tang is also the teacher of the blood secret medicine class, and he happens to be related to that person's research on banned drugs. Do you want to follow Jing Tang with me tonight to see if he has secretly ingested the special spirit beasts raised by the academy?
blood?
Only in this way can I prove that I did not slander Branch Dean Jingyuan."
Qi Luo's words were obviously meant to convince Chen Xuan.
