Hearing the words of the Spirit Master, Xiao Che grinned. Some of the conjectures in his mind required the help of the Spirit Master's vast knowledge, which was comparable to a library.
Xiao Che sat cross-legged on the soft grass, pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, these doubts already existed when I accepted the invitation from the Red Blood Mercenary Group."
The spiritual master is sitting cross-legged and floating in the air, with his hands folded in front of his chest, with a leisurely expression. If a plate of melon seeds is placed, he will look like a listener listening to someone's story.
Seeing this, Xiao Che rolled his eyes without revealing any trace, and then said seriously: "First of all, it's because Fang Chihan values me. Needless to say, Fang Chihan's strength is that he is a life master at the peak of the Seven Lines Life Enlightenment Realm.
It is also the top existence in the entire Yuexi City. It also has Chen Cang, Zhang He and other strong men in the six realms. The Red Blood Mercenary Group is one of the seven major mercenary groups of the Mercenary Union, with a large number of mercenaries.
, the overall strength can be described as quite strong.
Even though I showed a certain amount of strength at that time, I had just reached the limit of the three-line destiny enlightenment realm. I thought I would not be able to catch up with him, but he took the initiative to invite me to join the group, and he valued me very much in his words.
The attitude makes me feel a little confused."
"Well, keep talking." Spirit Master nodded.
"You all know the next thing. In order to get the Life Crystal Fruit, I took over the mission issued by Fang Chihan and temporarily joined the Red Blood Mercenary Group. However, after he asked me about some situations and saw other people in the team,
After three physical practitioners, my doubts became even deeper.
Obviously, the reason why he values me is not because of my hidden strength, but because I said, ‘I am a body cultivator.’ From this, Fang Chihan seems to value body cultivators very much.”
Xiao Che paused for a moment, then continued: "But why does Fang Chihan value body cultivators? You must know that body cultivators at the same level are generally not as good as life masters. In addition to having an advantage in the physical aspect, the former has almost no other abilities.
At an obvious disadvantage, there is still a certain gap even in overall strength. Is it true that this third-level mission body cultivator will have the advantage, as he said? Or is there an unknown secret in this."
The Spirit Master shook his head, stroking his sparse beard and said: "Maybe you are overthinking this. There are indeed restrictions in some ruins that limit the true energy. Such restrictions will make the true energy flow in the body of the life master become stagnant and slow.
, will weaken their strength to a certain extent. Just imagine, what would be the result if a fortune-teller whose strength is greatly reduced meets a body cultivator who is almost at his peak?"
Hearing this, Xiao Che began to think about what the Lord Spirit said. He had also thought about it. There seemed to be some explanations for this doubt, but for some reason, he always felt that it was not that simple.
He rolled his dark eyes, no longer delving into the matter, but spoke out what was in his mind
Another doubt.
"Secondly, there is the tense atmosphere that has been permeating the central area of Qingling Mountains. Many powerful lone monsters appear in groups. How to explain this?" He frowned.
But Xiao Che didn't discover this by himself. His perception has always been sharp. Although he also noticed some abnormalities, because this was his first time entering the Qingling Mountains and he didn't understand the usual situation, he couldn't say anything was wrong.
The place.
However, from Zhang He's behavior at that time and later hearing the late-night conversation between Fang Chihan and others, Xiao Che determined that his feeling was not groundless, but that there were some strange phenomena in the Qingling Mountains.
This also included the attack by the shadow rats that happened not long after, and there were some things he couldn't figure out.
The Spirit Master pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "This does need attention, but it does not rule out that it is caused by changes in the third-level ruins. Monster beasts in the Qi Ming Realm generally have spiritual intelligence, and some monster beasts with higher bloodlines have even higher IQs.
No less than humans, they will also covet the elixirs and treasures in the ruins, so it is not unusual for them to fight for them. And to a certain extent, the monsters' keen sense of smell for treasures is far superior to humans, so the three
It is not impossible for the super ruins to bring about such changes."
"..." Xiao Che was speechless for a moment. Why did all the problems seem to be trivial when it came to Lingzun's mouth?
Seeing Xiao Che's speechless expression, the Spirit Master said in a somewhat flat tone: "Boy, what you said is not enough to interest me. If there is anything you still don't understand, just tell me."
As he spoke, a different meaning quietly flashed across the eyes of the Spirit Master. Could he only think of these simple things? If that was all, it would be a bit disappointing.
Xiao Che seemed to feel the change in Spirit Master's mood. He was silent for a while, then grinned and said, "Does Spirit Master know the identity of the man in gray cloak?"
In fact, the first two just made Xiao Che feel a little confused. Among the entire Red Blood Mercenary Group, the one that made him wary and suspicious the most was the man in gray cloak who never made a move from the beginning to the end. He was silent and seemed like a ghost.
Hearing this, Lingzun's eyes lit up. Could it be that this boy had discovered something important? To be honest, even he had not fully understood the details of the man in gray cloak at this moment.
"First tell me what you think." Ling Zun said.
Xiao Che touched his chin and said casually: "It's easy to know the identity of the man in gray cloak. Although he hides his strength, the aura he inadvertently reveals is quite powerful. Think about his true strength.
Compared to Fang Chihan, he is only higher but not lower.
And such a master, when faced with the attack of the shadow rats, never took action to kill the enemy, this has ruled out
He is a member and employee of the Red Blood Mercenary Group. In this way, his identity on the surface can be revealed. It is obvious that he is the real issuer of this third-level mission, and Fang Chihan led
The Red Blood Mercenary Group is the hired party."
"Yes." Spirit Master nodded slightly, indicating for him to continue.
"It seems that the gray cloaks and the Red Blood Mercenary Group have reached some kind of agreement. The former released this mission in the name of Red Blood, and is also responsible for guiding the direction and providing the route map of the mission, while Fang Chihan is
Responsible for providing sufficient manpower. Mutual benefit and win-win situation. I heard that this situation is quite common among mercenaries, which is not surprising."
Xiao Che said, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and he said solemnly: "However, one thing that is puzzling is that the man in gray cloak did not inform Fang Chihan and others that the real destination of this trip is the rare three
Level-level ruins. But he also handed over the map of the ruins to Fang Chihan, which is a bit contradictory."
The reason why Xiao Che said this was because he was sure that Fang Chihan did not know about the ruins. If he had known this a long time ago, then he would have brought enough manpower like the Wind Falcon Mercenary Group, and perhaps the whole
The strength is still not enough to swallow the treasures of the entire third-level ruins, but it is not such a helpless move as being forced to form an alliance with the Wind Falcon.
As for whether the man in gray cloak knew about the third-level ruins, Xiao Che did not have any doubts.
On the surface, he looked indifferent to everything, but he secretly observed every move of the man in gray cloak. From the time when the Wind Falcon Mercenary Group informed the third-level ruins, to his duel with Zhang Li, and finally
The two parties formed an alliance. During the entire process, the man in gray cloak never seemed to show any surprise, as if everything was under his control.
"Something's wrong!" Xiao Che muttered.
"Logically speaking, the behavior of the man in gray cloak shows that he must know the existence of the third-level ruins, but his move of handing over such an important thing as the map of the third-level ruins to Fang Chihan makes people a little confused? Could it be?
To create suspicion, or does he not care about the treasures in the third-level ruins at all?" Xiao Che thought doubtfully.
There was a glimmer of light in the deep eyes of the Spirit Master. He had actually seen all this thoroughly. He looked at Xiao Che's young face full of thinking with a faint smile, but had no intention of reminding him.
This kid must figure this out for himself, so that he can broaden his thinking. If I were to remind him, everything would be meaningless.
"Boy, I hope you won't disappoint me." Spirit Master sighed secretly.
