The level 40 Yanbo Bamboo Sea map was actually an area densely populated by elite monsters. This discovery immediately made Li Ming feel happy.
The existence of elite monsters means more experience points and more equipment explosion rates, and the quality of the loot is also more powerful than ordinary monsters...
However, 40+ elite monsters are very dangerous. Li Ming circled back and forth in the bamboo forest to finally avoid a large number of monster distribution areas and continued to move forward towards the depths of the bamboo sea.
After checking the coordinate points along the way, Li Ming gradually understood that the location of the reclusive priest was at the foot of the mountain opposite the Bamboo Sea.
After figuring out the direction, he accelerated forward. As he went forward, each bamboo in the bamboo forest continued to grow larger. When he approached the other end, each green bamboo was as thick as a bucket.
Moreover, many small streams can be seen in the bamboo sea, and the sound of splashing is heard nearby.
When he spent more than half an hour crossing the bamboo sea and successfully arrived at the coordinate point, he saw a tall cliff appearing at the end of the bamboo forest in front of him.
The sound of rushing water sounded, and a waterfall sloped down from the cliff, forming a blue pool in front of the bamboo forest.
And right next to the waterfall, in front of the pool, a group of thatched cottage buildings suddenly appeared on the mountainside.
Finally found.
Li Ming excitedly walked forward quickly from the embankment covered with giant stones on the side of the water pool, and finally arrived at the open flat land in front of the thatched cottage.
Behind a row of fences in front is a beautiful garden. At the garden gate, the familiar guard is still wearing tattered armor, guarding loyally in front of the thatched cottage.
Seeing this guard, Li Ming knew very clearly that he had found the location of the reclusive priest.
"Stop! Private property, no trespassing!"
When Li Ming approached the garden gate excitedly, the guard suddenly roared.
"Uncle, I'm looking for the priest. He asked me to come here." Li Ming said politely.
"Let him in."
Suddenly, a familiar old voice sounded in the thatched cottage.
The guard immediately moved to one side to open a passage. Li Ming nodded politely and strode into the garden...
I saw that this group of thatched cottages consisted of at least five or six thatched cottages. There were two thatched cottages on the left and right sides of the garden. The front was located on a rock platform, and there were three or four thatched cottages clustered close together.
As Li Ming entered the garden, old men wearing shabby robes slowly appeared in these thatched cottages, each holding a staff and watching Li Ming's arrival warily.
What is going on? Why are there so many priests?
Seeing the appearance of these various priests, at least a dozen of them, Li Ming was extremely surprised.
But he found that the color of the robes worn by these priests or the staffs they held in their hands seemed to be somewhat different from the attire of the reclusive priests, and their appearance seemed to have a lower status.
At this time, at the gate of the thatched cottage in the middle, the figure of an old man appeared, and the priests automatically followed him and walked into the garden step by step along the steps in front of the thatched cottage.
"Young man, you are finally here. Don't be afraid. These people are just like me, old guys who live in seclusion here and don't care about worldly affairs." The reclusive priest said with a smile.
"These priests chose to stay away from the temple for the same reason as you?" Li Ming asked curiously.
"That's more or less it. Some old guys were rescued here by me, and now they can only stay here to save their lives." The reclusive priest sighed.
"What on earth is going on?" Li Ming originally came here to relieve his doubts, but found that now he was even more doubtful...
"This matter is a long story. Let me tell you first, what is your current situation? Do the demon spirits have any influence on you?" the reclusive priest asked with concern.
"This is the reason for my trip..." Li Ming quickly told the other party in detail about the disappearance of the spider demon tattoo.
"What! The saint appeared...she fought with the spider demon!" The reclusive priest's eyes lit up, and his tall figure suddenly swayed, and he appeared directly behind Li Ming, and a big hand opened the back of his neck.
The long hair on...
"You have also seen that the spider demon tattoo has disappeared!" Li Ming said.
"The golden body of the saint has also disappeared?" the reclusive priest asked in surprise.
"Yes, I don't know where they have gone now." Li Ming shook his head and said.
"This is very strange. You and I should go into the thatched cottage." The reclusive priest frowned, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the thatched cottage in the distance.
More than a dozen priests also entered the thatched cottage one after another, seeming to be very concerned about this matter...
Li Ming strode up the steps and followed the priest into the spacious hall of the thatched cottage. The floor was covered with bamboo mats, and a table made of bamboo was placed in the center of the hall.
More than a dozen priests were sitting cross-legged in the thatched hut. The reclusive priest took Li Ming and motioned for him to sit down together.
"The Saint's Golden Body is an emergency measure for the Saint to protect herself when she encounters a crisis, using her divine power to protect her body from harm. But now that even the Saint's Golden Body has disappeared, it means that the Saint is no longer here.
The world is dead..." The reclusive priest frowned and said.
"Ah... the saint is dead, then my mission..." Li Ming was suddenly shocked.
"This is what makes me wonder. The saint has disappeared, but your mission is still there." The reclusive priest said.
"Yes, my mission did not directly fail..." Li Ming nodded.
In his task bar, the deadline for the mission of the Holy Lady Temple and the rescue of the Holy Lady is still beating...
This shows that even if the golden body of the saint disappears unexpectedly, the system does not determine that the mission has failed, but can continue!
"I suspect that the demon soul you accumulated at that time had awakened the spider demon and had enough strength to control your body to become a new host. The saint felt the danger and did not hesitate to withdraw the divine power to protect the body to help you escape.
The threat of the spider demon." The reclusive priest frowned and analyzed.
"Then where are they now?" Li Ming asked puzzledly.
"The spider demon's magic pattern and the saint's golden body disappeared at the same time, but they must still be on your body. If you don't mind, I and all the priests are willing to help you check." The reclusive priest said.
"Master Priest, as long as there is no danger, I am willing to accept it." Li Ming nodded.
"Then please close your eyes and don't move no matter what happens..." the reclusive priest nodded.
"Understood." Li Ming nodded. Although he was confused, he still closed his eyes obediently...
At this moment, the reclusive priest raised his staff, and a brilliant purple halo suddenly appeared on the top of the staff.
The dozen or so priests sitting there also raised their staffs at the same time. Purple light groups continued to converge on the staff of the reclusive priest, and the huge purple light groups shone brighter and brighter...
"The divine seal is opened, the divine soul and the demonic soul appear!" The reclusive priest roared, and the brilliant purple light ball on the staff suddenly rushed towards Li Ming...
