The indigenous people living in the forest west of Chaidui Town call themselves the "Spotted Beast Tribe". Their totem is the saber-toothed leopard as their symbol. The tribesmen are good at running through the mountains and forests, and the spirit messengers of the tribe can fight with the saber-toothed leopard.
Communicate and communicate, making it a powerful assistant in assisting in hunting and protecting the homeland.
If a tribal guard obtains his own soul through the djinn ceremony, he can also choose a saber-toothed leopard as an animal companion, and the two will form some kind of strange spiritual connection.
This is a situation that Xuan Weizi has found out in the past several times when he went deep into the forest. This time he sneaked into the forest and passed through a large area controlled by indigenous tribes. The main purpose was to guard against these spirit guards, especially those saber-toothed leopards.
After some consideration, Xuan Weizi turned himself and the other two into wild deer, a common creature in the forest and the most hunted beast by hunters in Chaidui Town. And at this juncture, the Spirit Guard's saber-toothed leopard
They are often restrained by their masters and are not allowed to go out to hunt. Instead, they give Xuan Weizi and the others the opportunity to sneak in deeply.
After two days and two nights of trekking with almost no rest, Xuan Weizi and the others finally arrived at the main settlement of the Banzoo tribe - a special forest full of magical effects.
Before the three of them entered, they already felt obvious spell fluctuations. In a slightly low-lying valley, a circle of entangled tree roots formed a natural barrier, with only a few tightly guarded entrances.
The spirit of Ruoyouruowu is wandering inside and outside the indigenous settlement. Even if Xuanweizi does not activate his soul induction, he can clearly sense that the huge natural energy is gathering regularly towards the depths of the settlement due to the guidance of the spirit, and there must be
This is where the spirit messengers hold ceremonies.
"What should we do now?" Wolf's voice echoed in the minds of the three of them, just like normal language communication.
However, the reality at this time was that three wild deer were wandering in the wild woodland, snorting occasionally and making no unnecessary noise.
Xuan Weizi's spell to turn three people into wild deer seems similar to the mage's animal form. In fact, it relies on the highly changeable characteristics of the astral body and uses "super state transformation" to turn the three people into wild deer. Because
The astral body is connected to the Xuanwei Zi Shen Qi, so the "spiritual link" effect is still maintained, and the three of them can communicate freely without any obstacles.
It was difficult for Xuan Weizi to perform such a spell in his previous life. This unusually flexible change characteristic is obviously based on the rules and regulations of this world and benefits from the astral body, so Xuan Weizi has made full use of it.
Especially since they were so close to the settlement, the spirit messengers with the ability to detect through spirits did not find anything unusual about the three wild deer, and ordinary prophecy detection could not see through the true identities of the three Xuan Weizi.
Xuan Weizi said: "We definitely can't go in directly now, let's wait a little."
"Wait? Looking at the current situation, it seems that we can't wait too long." The wild deer transformed by Sir Salemi shook its head, and its cute ears also shook: "With such huge energy, the ceremony will be completed at any time!"
Xuan Weizi was calm: "It's just the gathering of natural energy. To adjust, weave, and transform it into a complete soul spell requires a complicated process. Besides, in addition to rushing around in the past two days, I also have the bird scouts keeping an eye on me.
Here, we may have figured out some rules."
Wolf seemed to have guessed something and asked: "Is there someone who wants to come in and out regularly?"
"That's right." Xuan Weizi said: "Actually, there are not many people in the settlement now. Almost all healthy men are sent out to prepare for battle, but there is also a proper rotation, and newly prepared weapons and armor need to be transported.
.Anyway, at about the same time every day, several groups of natives will return."
Sir Salemi asked: "You mean to let us pretend to be natives and go in? But the person guarding the door should recognize the stranger at a glance, right?"
Xuan Weizi said with a smile: "Since I can turn you into wild deer, isn't it easy to turn into someone else? The principle is similar to how I made your clones."
Sir Salemi was a little unhappy: "You need the blood of the indigenous people? That means you want to hurt people? Didn't you say that you can't kill the indigenous people on the road, so as not to cause alarm?"
"Whether you can kill or not depends on the specific situation." Xuan Weizi said: "Don't worry, I have also thought about using magic to control the natives at the door, but I am worried that this action will cause the spirit messenger to notice."
In fact, Xuan Weizi has another way, which is to turn into a flying bird and cross the isolation of the woods outside the settlement. However, this requires a high level of psychic abilities. Even with the help of the astral body, he can barely turn himself into a flying bird, which is not available yet.
The ability to transform two other people together.
Faced with a spellcaster like the Spirit Messenger, Xuan Weizi still chose to be lenient. He needed the cover and assistance of Wolf and Sir Salemi. But in the final analysis, he still didn't have enough information, otherwise he planned to come and kill him alone.
The spirit messenger.
In the settlements of the Banbeast Tribe, spirits gather densely. This invisible natural spirit is aware of all abnormal changes. The bird scouts released by Xuanweizi do not dare to go deep into the settlements easily, and can only mix with ordinary birds.
He would occasionally enter the group and pretend to be pecking the grains scattered on the ground, but he was actually investigating the situation of the spirit messenger.
The three of them just wandered in the forest far away from the settlement, just like ordinary wild deer looking for food, while waiting for the next group of natives to return to the settlement.
Interestingly, when Wolf was getting impatient, he saw a team of four natives coming back. One of them seemed to be injured, which slowed down the movement.
"Look! There are four people there!" The wild deer transformed by Wolf almost jumped up with excitement. It looked very stupid to others.
"I saw it." After Xuan Weizi said this, he actually canceled the change in the wild deer form. The astral body flowed like water, making his body almost transparent and invisible. He stepped directly towards the four natives, completely
Without letting the other party notice.
The exclamations of Wolf and Sir Salemi came through the spiritual link, and Xuan Weizi only replied: "You are preparing to launch an attack, and I will guide you."
Ignoring their calls, Xuan Weizi had already arrived in front of the four natives. With a snap of his fingers, the "spiritual disintegration" with a dizzy effect spread like ripples among the four people, immediately making the four natives stunned.
.
Immediately, a thought occurred, and a silver light flashed behind the four natives. Wolf and Salemi were teleported behind the natives by the "arbitrary door", and both of them had restored their original appearance.
However, Wolf and Salemi were also stunned until Xuan Weizi said: "Cut it, do you still want me to do it?"
After saying this, Wolf and Salemi drew their weapons together, and each chopped down a native. Xuanweizi just raised a finger, and a "crystal fragment" shot out, like a sharp blade slicing a native.
of the throat and trachea, killing him instantly. The sound of the corpse falling to the ground was louder than a crystal blade cutting its throat.
"Don't kill the injured one yet." Xuan Weizi persuaded the two of them, and then quickly released his astral body and clung to the four of them. The fluid-like thing was like a leech, constantly swelling, and it was unknown what it was sucking.
Xuan Weizi's eyes were closed tightly and his brows were furrowed. At this time, he was fully activating his soul and energy to obtain as much life information and spiritual memory from these natives as possible. These were the basis for completely transforming into the other party.
The astral body does have extremely flexible change characteristics, and it is surprisingly suitable for alchemy monks like Xuan Weizi, but the transformation spell itself requires more than just the astral body.
The transformation arcana spells of mages are also very flexible and changeable. Their spell casting skills are not fully understood by Xuan Weizi, but they probably do not use special things like astral bodies. In other words, there are more and deeper laws and regulations in this world.
This is something Xuan Weizi has not yet understood.
And watching as the astral body continued to swell, it gradually formed four translucent crystals similar to insect cocoons, completely wrapping the four indigenous people, and all the blood on the ground was absorbed.
"Get out of here first!" Xuan Weizi waved his hand, and the four translucent crystals turned into four glass beads and fell into the palm of his hand. He immediately left here, not bothering to change back to the wild deer form.
Wolf and Sir Salemi followed Xuan Weizi and found that he ran very fast and his body was as light as a gust of wind. This surprised the other two who thought that his body was far stronger than the spell caster.
Xuan Weizi didn't stop until he was far away from the path where the natives were walking. And without any warning, the two people chasing after him couldn't stop their speed and almost fell down on a dead branch.
"Doctor, you ran too fast!" Wolf wiped the sweat from his forehead, while Sir Salemi remained silent, seeming to be wondering about something.
Xuan Weizi raised his hand and looked at the four glass beads and said, "I thought of a way to get close to the spirit messenger."
"Come on, tell me!" Wolf asked curiously.
Xuan Weizi twisted the glass bead containing the injured native and said: "This guy was injured when he accidentally stepped into a trap while patrolling in the wild. He is now poisoned and needs urgent treatment. In the native tribes, spirit messengers are often also healers.
By."
Wolf was about to laugh, but was worried about attracting attention, so he said: "What a good idea. This is enough reason for us to see the spirit messenger."
Xuan Weizi shook his head and said, "No, what I'm worried about is that there is more than one spirit messenger in the Ban Beast tribe."
According to the information that Xuan Weizi had previously detected, the female native named Sandori is the current student of the spirit messenger. Although according to their tribe, Sandori cannot be regarded as a "totem guardian", but there is no doubt that
It also has the ability to communicate with spirits and a range of spellcasting abilities.
As a student who is the guardian of the totem, it is normal for her to come forward to treat the injured. If this is the case, then Xuan Weizi and the other three will not be able to approach the spirit messenger who performed the ceremony.
It just so happened that Sandori was in the settlement at this time!
After telling the two of them their thoughts, they all fell silent, as if they were waiting for Xuan Weizi to think of a solution.
"That's all we have to do." Xuan Weizi threw the glass beads out, and the astral body was withdrawn. The injured native was still unconscious. Then a ray of astral body penetrated into the native's body, and a strange twisted force broke out in his body, causing him to suffer a lot.
The torture and severe pain caused him to wake up and then pass out.
Sir Salemi asked unhappily: "Forget it about killing someone, why are you torturing him?"
"Only if the injury is serious enough, can the spirit messenger come forward to treat it." Xuan Weizi said: "And it was your previous words that reminded me."
Sir Salemi was stunned and asked: "What are you talking about?"
"You said before that you would prepare traps for the natives, which means that it is normal for us to place traps for the natives or prey in the forest. After all, there are so many hunters entering the mountains." Xuan Weizi raised the corner of his mouth and said: "The natives stepped on
It's so incompetent to set up your own trap. But it's not surprising to step on the intruder's magic trap."
Sir Salemi opened his mouth, then said: "I still don't trust your approach, and what happened to the teleportation spell just now? Can't you warn me in advance?"
"I have reminded you." Xuan Weizi said: "Let's not talk about these gossips now. I will turn you into aboriginals first. There may be some additional memory fragments. You are ready."
"wait wait wait……"
Just as the two of them reacted, Xuan Weizi crushed the remaining three glass beads. The flying astral body inflated like a balloon, suddenly wrapping the two people in front of them. Then there was a twisting change, and the two skins were slightly darker.
, the natives wearing deerskin shirts stood there with a dazed look on their faces. The weapons around their waists also turned into native clubs and spears, and even the sticky dust and grass blades on their bodies were the same.
As for Xuan Weizi, he patted his chest and turned into a native. He grabbed the injured native from the air and threw it onto Wolf's shoulders. He said, "Carry it on your back. I'll answer it later if you have any questions. It's your turn."
When the time comes, I will use the spiritual link to remind you."
Sir Salemi turned into a tall native, looking at himself uncomfortably, as if he wanted to clean himself.
"Remember, you are now a member of the Spotted Beast Tribe. It is normal for you to be a little dirty." Xuan Weizi coughed twice. After absorbing the three indigenous people, he also learned the indigenous language and adjusted his tone.
He said to the two of them: "If anything happens later, just speak in Aboriginal language and don't make any mistakes."
"But I don't know how... Huh?" Wolf carried the injured native on his back. As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he was not speaking the common language.
Xuan Weizi tapped his forehead with his finger and said with a smile: "This is psychic power. Okay, hurry up. I am maintaining this transformation effect. The sooner the matter is completed, the better."
"Wait! I still have something to ask." Sir Salemi said: "Even if we go to the spirit messenger, and even if we can successfully kill him, how can we leave the indigenous settlement?"
"Let's leave as we are now." Xuan Weizi said calmly: "Isn't it normal for us to put down the injured, then leave with weapons and armor, and continue patrolling? If it doesn't work, use the 'any door'
'Leave, I'm ready."
"We are going to kill the totem guardian! How can we not attract other people's attention?" Sir Salemi spoke in Aboriginal language, and even the use of vocabulary changed in his anxiety.
"I will make the battle end as soon as possible." Xuan Weizi moved his fingers: "If a fierce battle really breaks out, then run away."
