The final search results were the same as we thought. Although we insisted on searching the remaining houses, we were unable to find where Matsumoto Masaki and the others were going. Obviously, Masaki and the others were not in this village, at least not in the house, so we now face two choices.

Of course, I will continue to look for Matsumoto Masaki and others. Although Masaki Masaki, gold coins and August Konori are both very survivable, even I can't guarantee that I will survive safely in such a super difficult task. Therefore, Masaki and others are not safe at present. They can only say that their survivability is slightly stronger than ordinary players, but if you really want to say how much stronger it is... that's really not accurate.

If we don’t go to Masamoto and the others, then we have a second choice. This choice is to first find the Soul Well and let us temporarily open our seal. According to the female ghost, the well water in the Soul Well combined with the psychic crystals we collected can temporarily open our seal. Of course, the time and opening of this seal is not completely certain. The only thing that can be determined is that the more psychic crystals there are, the more beneficial it is to us. Another red crystal is the same thing, which can also open some seals, but the direction is different from the psychic crystal. In general, these things are all useful to us, but it is not clear how much it can play.

In addition, there is another problem, that is, the soul well needs these crystals to provide energy, and then we can open our seal, but if we go there like this, then there is only one crystal in our hand. So, in fact, we have a third choice, which is to go to other villages to actively search for those ghosts and monsters to hunt, and then we can stock up on a large scale of crystals.

All three plans have their own benefits. Looking for Masaki Matsumoto first means a relatively safe and conservative strategy, but the disadvantages are obvious. This plan will undoubtedly lengthen the entire task, and it cannot guarantee that we will not encounter any danger during the search process.

The second plan seems the most secure, but it is actually a moderate method. The benefits are obvious and the disadvantages are also obvious. However, overall, this plan is actually the most reasonable.

The third plan can actually be cross-distanced with the first plan. During the hunting process, you can search for Matsumoto Masaki and their traces, but there is a primary and secondary problem. If you hit and search for Masaki and their traces, then we don’t need to clean up monsters one by one, otherwise we need to clean up one room by one. So the two seem to do similar things. In fact, the content is different.

After these three plans were proposed, we also had a debate.

Makoto and Chihuo Dragon Kid prefer to go to the third plan. That is, to clean up some monsters with multi-powered crystals first. Sakura Yu Shen Hina hopes to go to Masaki Matsumoto and the others first, and then take the next action after everyone gathers together. Christina and I are more inclined to the second plan because this plan does not seem to have any outstanding performance. However, it is the most balanced. After all, we already have hundreds of crystals in our hands. If we take it to the Soul Well, we should at least concentrate our strength to unlock some of a person's abilities first, so that our survival rate in the subsequent battle will be much higher, and we will become confident no matter what we do.

Because only Sakura Yu Shenkai supported the first plan, the first plan was passed directly, and the remaining choice was to either sweep or go directly to the Soul Well. Both choices were two to two, but because I was the president, in the end, Zhenhong and Chihuo Longji did not stick to their opinions, and after everyone expressed their opinions, they directly chose to listen to me.

I was originally inclined to choose the second choice. Now that Zhenhong and Chihuolongji do not force anything, I naturally would not be polite and decided to go to the Soul Well together.

"Okay, that's it. Hello, who... By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is yet?" It was not until this time that I remembered that I hadn't asked the female ghost's name.

After I asked, the other party was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and thought for a long time before looking at me and said, "What do you think is my name suitable?"

"Ah? What are you talking about? What do you mean by me to see what your name is appropriate? Do you don't have a name?"

"I've been a ghost for too long and I can't remember it anymore!"

"I'm dizzy!" Looking at the female ghost, I thought for a while and said simply: "Since you don't remember what your name is, then we'll give you any easy-to-remember one, right?"

The other party obviously had no special requirements for this, so he nodded and asked us to name it casually. Christina and I discussed it for a while and decided to name the female ghost "Suriko". The reason why this name was used did not have any special meaning, it was just because it was easy to call it. Moreover, after I was beaten by me, the clothes on the female ghost changed from red to white, so this lily was very good at her appearance. As for the extra Zi character, it was added to consider the naming habits of the Japanese.

"Then what, Yuriko. Now we have decided to go to the Soul Well first, you can lead the way. But this place is too dangerous. If you walk outside, if something is killed, we will be in trouble. So you still walk in the middle of the team and just tell us how to go, and don't stay in front."

"Okay." Yuriko nodded and agreed to my arrangement. After I was connected with the soul space, this female ghost became extremely obedient and felt like she was obedient. It was probably because the soul space removed her hostility as an evil ghost, so she restored her personality to her state in life. In ancient Japan, women respected men, which was even stricter than China, so the other party was particularly respectful and almost did whatever she wanted, without hesitation. Of course, we didn't make any excessive demands.

With Yuriko's guidance, our progress has become much easier. Because we don't have to worry about taking the wrong path, we don't have to pay attention to the terrain or something. We directly follow the route pointed out by Yuriko to head up the mountain.

The so-called soul well is said to be in the woods on the mountain, and it is not far from us. In addition, this map does not seem to be very big. It is said that a circle of villages surround a mountain, and the mountain in front of me is actually not very high. The drop from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain is only about 200 meters. However, because the hillside is relatively gentle, the area is large.

After entering the woodland on the mountain, we began to be glad that we brought a guide. This place is completely the best in the ** array, because it is a dynamic maze.

The most annoying thing among all maze types maps is this dynamic maze, because its route is not fixed. It can be said that it is changing all the time. Originally, you walked over to a dead end. Maybe you will become the right passage as soon as you left, and when you go around the correct passage before, it will be blocked again. So, if this maze has a certain intelligence control, then you should not expect to be able to walk through it. Because no matter how you go, the other party has a way to block you back. Of course, if you have the ability, no matter what walls you encounter, and if you hit the walls, you will hit the door all the way, that is of course another matter.

The woodland we are now in is such a place. It’s not that there are many monsters in the forest here. Of course, it can also be said that there are many monsters, but it is not the kind of monsters that everyone thinks of.

When we first entered the forest, we didn't realize it until Yuriko suddenly asked me to stab one of the big trees when she walked to a place and we suddenly realized that there was no tree in the forest.

Yes, you read that right. There is no tree on this mountain. The entire forest is composed of a monster called wood spirit. When this thing is not moved, it is exactly the same as a big tree. No detection spell can distinguish them from a real big tree. However, no matter how good the camouflage ability is, these guys are not trees after all, and as the indigenous people here, Yuriko certainly knows this. Therefore, even though they know that these are not big trees, they will certainly not be confused.

Although this tree spirit looks no different from a big tree when it is not moving, and their appearance is also messy. Some look like maple trees, some look like cherry blossom trees, and other tree species, which look different in shape, but they are actually all tree spirits.

Speaking of which, our guild has raised a lot of this thing, and basically it is planted around the city where the guild belongs to serve as a secret whistle. These tree spirits are no different from big trees themselves, and unless they encounter danger or are harsh and unsuitable for survival, the tree spirits are actually no different from ordinary big trees at all. They have no chance to run around. As long as they are rooted in some places, they will not move any more that threatens their survival.

This characteristic determines that once these tree spirits take root, they can stay in one place for a long time, and because of their own characteristics, they can be completely integrated with the surrounding forests. To find a tree spirit from a forest, it is basically the same as finding a needle in a haystack, because there is no magic to detect, you can only experiment one by one in physical ways.

Because of these guys' super camouflage ability, after being equipped with communication crystals, these guys can completely become fixed guard posts. When the enemy thinks that they are lurking quietly outside the city, they will not know that the big tree they are hiding in is probably one of our guard posts. This ability is absolutely against the sky. Of course, due to the limitations of the system, any existence with some kind of anti-the sky ability must have anti-the sky defects, and the tree spirit's anti-the sky defect is that they have almost no sense of combat.

Although the roots of these guys can be pulled out from the ground to move around like octopuses, and the movement speed is very fast, these guys are too lazy to move, unless they are life-threatening, or people with high plant affinity communicate with them and then reach an agreement, just like the post-post agreement signed by our guild and them. Without these external influences, the tree spirits may not move independently in their lifetime. Moreover, their branches can also be waving, whipping or entangling the enemy at will, even players of level 1,000 cannot break free in a short time. Even a high-level player like me, who is more than two thousand levels, will definitely not be able to get out without eternity without eternity. This shows that the attack power and binding ability of these things are actually very strong.

In addition, these guys have very good defense. Although they look like ordinary big trees, their bodies are actually as hard as amazing. Except for the bark on the outside, just like the real big trees, the trunk inside is exactly the same as solid iron blocks. Ordinary weapons can only cut at most a shallow mark. As for magic attacks... you basically don't think about it. If you can fight, these guys are simply mage killers, because they have a super rogue ability - magic devouring. Simply put, as long as magic appears within a certain range around them, they can be absorbed. Unless they are strategically level magic, they will be blown to death without being absorbed, ordinary magic will not hurt them at all, and instead will make these guys absorb a large amount of energy and become stronger.

However, although the above data looks like a tree spirit and an invincible creature, these things are really useless except for serving as guard posts. It is not because they are not good at combat power, nor because they have low survival ability, but because... they are too lazy to move.

Yes, these guys are really lazy to understand. Not only will they not move without external stimulation. Even if they are attacked, their first reaction is determined based on the damage situation. If the damage is so mild that it can be ignored, they will continue to remain motionless and continue to pretend to be a big tree with you. However, if the damage is slightly more obvious but not fatal, then they will pull out their roots from the ground and move a distance in the opposite direction of the attack. In other words, even if they are beaten and hurt, they will never fight back, but just avoid you a little distance.

Of course, if you continue to increase the damage level and directly make an attack that can endanger their lives, these guys will start to fight back. However, their counterattack is to escape better and will not really fight you to the death. At most, it is to teach you a lesson so that you know that they are not easy to mess with, and then turn around and run. Of course, this time you will run far and far until you can't find them and then take root and disguise again.

What if you say such a strange thing has the ability to destroy the world? Even if a rabbit grows sharp teeth, it is still a rabbit. It cannot become a tiger. This tree spirit is born lazy and does not like to move at all. Moreover, they mainly rely on photosynthesis and absorb free magic energy to survive, so they do not even hunt. Even if such an existence reaches the sky, it will be like that.

However, we have now discovered an amazing result, that is, the mountain is full of tree spirits, and these tree spirits are slightly different from the tree spirits in ordinary areas. The tree spirits here are not as lazy as their relatives outside. Of course, this is what the tree spirits outside say, and they are actually very lazy.

However, according to Yuriko, although the tree spirits here are usually lazy, for some reason, they seem to change places themselves every time, just like turning over while sleeping, and the frequency is not too high. However, because the whole forest is constantly moving like this, there is no way to talk about "road". Not to mention that there are no animals in this place, even if a large number of people and animals come and go and walk out a way, one of the tree spirits will stop on the road and the road will be cut off. If they want to walk, they have to bypass the tree, that is, bypass the place where it was originally a road. In this way, they will step into a new road, and the original road will slowly be covered by vegetation, and then the route will change.

Based on this situation, there is actually no road in the mountain, and the entire mountain is a huge deformation maze, which is constantly making fine adjustments. Although this adjustment is random and untargeted, if you don’t know this situation, it is really not a simple thing to get out. Thanks to the fact that the forest is not particularly large, otherwise this place will definitely be a maze of the natural barrier level.

Because Yuriko knew that the big trees here were actually all tree spirits, she didn't walk around at all, because she didn't know where she would go around. After she found that the route ahead was blocked, she asked me to stab the tree spirit with a sword. Then the other party felt the pain, but there was no fatal threat. Yushu climbed up and changed positions according to the basic habits of tree spirits. In this way, our path came out.

Seeing the big tree in front of us move into a position, we were all stunned, thinking that thanks to a guide, otherwise we would just wait to wander around the woods for a day and a night!

After driving away the tree spirit in front of us, we continued to move forward, and the road ahead was the same. Along the way, we went straight forward and never detoured. Whenever we saw a tree spirit blocking the road, we would till it. Anyway, they would give way if they felt the pain.

This method is very fast to move, because there is no need to detour, and the distance is naturally shorter when passing straight. However, this is only the early part. As we get closer and closer to the soul well, this situation begins to change. It’s not that the tree spirits here will not give way. On the contrary, there are almost no tree spirits in this place. There is a large open space in front of them, and the tree spirits are very rare. However, here you can see a large number of monsters gathering together and moving unconsciously, and fights will break out from time to time. The result of the fight is often the one monster swallows the other.
