After signing a spiritual contract with humans, the five elements of the wild beasts will be used by humans. Although they can retain some of their own power, they can move according to the human mind. In other words, regardless of whether the wild beasts' minds have been taken away, the humans who focus on the spiritual contract will control most of the power.
For example, Zhu Tiankang is now using the power of water to a large extent, so the power that the crab beast can use is very small. But the electric python under Ju Mang's claws is more terrifying than the silver lightning on Xia Xiaopu's knife.
Only electricity was flowing under the Pudao, but under Ju Mang's claws, the electric python slapped the air, releasing a flame-like heat. The sea crab was huge, and its right claw was entangled by the electric light, which soon spread all over its body.
Although Xia Xiao and Ju Mang were less powerful than Zhu Tiankang and the sea crab, they controlled the complete power of the wood element, which quickly defeated Zhu Tiankang. He was as naked as the crab beast, and the next moment, Ju Mang's eyes flashed green, and his wings fanned green fluorescence.
Compared to the fire element that represents destruction, the steady earth element and the sharp metal element, the wood element is too different. It represents straightness and growth, and has quite extraordinary power.
The green fluorescence was a seed, sprinkled on the crab beast. The sea crab did not have a hard shell like the gold and earth beasts, and its body was scorched and softened by the electricity. Even though a stream of water appeared on its body, trying to remove the seeds emitting green light, they had already taken advantage of the opportunity and entered its joints and broken shells.
As he flapped his wings and flew away, Ju Mang had a sly smile on his face.
"Just wait to be wrapped like a rice dumpling!"
After saying this, in Ju Mang's eyes, the seeds grew unbridled, turning into vines and big trees, with thick and strong roots that entangled the sea crabs.
Plant growth also makes sounds, which are particularly pleasant, like the sound of a light-tune instrument, but to Zhu Tiankang's ears, they sound like evil news.
"How is that possible?"
Zhu Tiankang was a little bit unbelievable, and all the ** on his body were thrown behind his head. Compared with the three-meter-tall Ju Mang, the sea crab was much bigger, but this sea crab with flexible movements and infinite strength was controlled by the tree roots and could not move. Although it was not seriously injured, it was difficult to break free.
The sea crab relied on its powerful claws, but now it was entangled tightly on the ground by vines and tree roots, and it had no way out.
"Your vision is too narrow!"
Xia Xiao took a step forward and used his arms to exert force, forcing Zhu Tiankang to step back a few steps unbelievably. His low aura and temporarily suppressed vitality made him defeated by Xia Xiao even though he was in the Venerable Realm.
Before Zhu Tiankang could react, Xia Xiao followed the strong wind and came behind him, and then kicked him in the back. Zhu Tiankang fell to the ground with his body leaning forward, and a scar was cut on his neck.
The wound was not deep, but the buzzing machete became excited at the sight of blood, as if it was no longer under Xia Xiao's control and wanted to kill him.
“No, no!”
Feeling the sharpness of the Pudao, Zhu Tiankang begged again and again, like a child who knew he was wrong. He immediately lost the will to fight and didn't want to fight anymore. All the strong vitality was gathered into his body.
"Do you understand that kind of helplessness and despair?"
In the past, the Zhu family also put knives on the necks of the Xia family's servants. If they made any rash moves, they would be killed. But they did nothing and were still killed...
"Feel sorry."
Zhu Tiankang's often drooping nose was sticking to the ground, his brows knitted together, preparing for death. Xia Xiao didn't plan to kill him. Compared with the sinister and cunning Zhu Heng, Zhu Tiankang at least dared to admit and apologize. But he was very stupid. The son may not pay for the father's debt. As long as he hid and waited until the screening was over, he could enter the final selection. By then, even if something happened to the Zhu family, his identity would not be eliminated. Zhu Tiankang did not think of that, but he felt guilty, and he didn't want to run away again!
"ah--"
The knife slashed across, and even though Xia Xiao avoided the meridians, blood still splashed into the air. He wanted Zhu Tiankang to have a taste of the feeling of being on the verge of death.
Thanks to the Zhu family, Xia Xiao had clearly tried it in Longgang, Heitai City and Rongcheng!
After he stood up, Zhu Tiankang was the only one rolling on the ground. He felt a sharp pain in the front and back of his neck. He had been sensitive to pain since he was a child, and now his face was almost distorted.
Walking to the side, picking up the token, Xia Xiao walked in the direction he came from. Ju Mang followed behind him, looking back at Zhu Tiankang and Hai Xie who were getting farther and farther away from him, and asked curiously:
"Just let him go like that?"
"I'm looking for Zhu Heng and the National Elderly House."
Ju Mang nodded secretly, this made sense. Zhu Tiankang should be let go if possible, and he was brave enough to take the initiative to stand up, which was commendable.
After the machete absorbed the blood, it became smooth again without any blood stains.
…
"You're back?"
Xia Xiao had only been gone for an hour, and he came back so soon, which made Shu Shuang a little surprised. She took off her armor for Xia Xiao like a young wife waiting for her husband to come home.
"Give."
Xia Xiao spread out his hand, revealing a black iron token. Su Huan was surprised to see the name on it.
"You found him so quickly?"
For some reason, Su Huan's first reaction was not how Xia Xiao defeated him. Xia Xiao, who could break thirteen chain talisman arrays, was becoming more and more unfathomable. But he only used the complete wood element.
"He came to me on his own initiative and begged me to let the Zhu family go."
"You didn't agree?"
"No reason to agree to that."
Xia Xiao picked up a bamboo tube and sat on the tree. Ju Mang spread his wings and followed him.
Su Huan crushed the token, and the points on his token were enough. Looking at Shu Shuang beside him, he looked at Xia Xiao and Ju Mang, with a melancholy look on his face. Su Huan saw this and said:
"He might be thinking about something, don't worry."
"No, he's tired."
After hearing this, Su Huan felt that he had said too much. Shu Shuang and Xia Xiao must have some mysterious connection because of Huang Wen.
Shu Shuang's pure eyes were filled with Xia Xiao, but the latter was looking at the sky, his face was calm, his mouth opened and closed, chatting with Ju Mang, as if they were talking about everything. But Shu Shuang could feel that he was tired, exhausted both physically and mentally.
Xia Xiao was also a little anxious. The last time always seemed particularly long. He wanted to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible to solve the problems he needed to solve.
“It will all be over.”
"But it has been delayed for too long. I hope that when I return this time, the people in the imperial capital will remember the injustice of my Xia family."
"There will be a chance if we go back."
"After the screening, we will return to the Imperial Capital? Holy ancestor worship, then it will be my chance to sue the Zhu family. Judging from what Zhu Tiankang said today, the National Elders' Council will put all the blame on them."
"So how do you deal with the National Elderly House?"
"After all, the Xia family's problems were caused by the Zhu family. Let's deal with them first."
The water in his mouth was very cold, even freezing his teeth, but Xia Xiao felt very comfortable. The icy feeling kept him awake and prevented him from getting overwhelmed.
My father once said that when I returned to the imperial capital this time, I would inevitably get involved in the royal party politics. He could only stand on one side, between the National Elders Council and the emperor. Although he had chosen which side to stand on, more things would happen when he left the valley!
Standing up, Xia Xiao jumped to the treetops and looked at the Wanling Valley shrouded by a sea of clouds and mist. In the past two and a half months, he had already visited many places in this huge valley, leaving blood and even hair in many places. But now the selection of Wanling Valley is about to end.
The last period of time was always the most intense. Many people were still a little short of points and were frantically looking for opponents. Some timid people looked for spiritual medicines and wild beasts, eager to absorb them and defeat them.
In a flash, the fog came and went, and fourteen days had passed!
Today is the last day of Wanling Valley. Everyone who has stayed until now has enough points. They are scattered in various corners of Wanling Valley, adjusting their status. When they leave the valley, they will face the world in the most full state.
On this day, it rained rarely in Wanling Valley.
This is a late spring rain, drizzling and getting heavier. But no one is upset, and it is not bad to end with spring rain, which is quite artistic.
Many people in Wanling Valley summoned their contracted beasts and hid under their protection. Some people leaned against dense leaves and were occasionally hit by a few raindrops. Si Qingling sat in her small round house, waiting for time to pass. She really stayed here until the end of the screening. What she thought was a naive idea came true the moment Si Ying was eliminated.
In the middle of Wanling Valley, a metal crab beast was covered in mist, holding up its two large claws to shield the six people below it from the rain.
There was a black umbrella held in one of the crab claws, and Su Huan was standing under it.
Si Ta and his companions returned a week ago. Although they were injured, they have recovered now.
After a long time, seeing that the rain still did not stop, Su Huan said:
"Change, he's tired."
After saying that, Su Huan formed seals with his hands and ordered the crab beast to return to the contract space.
"You dote on it quite a bit."
When Si Ta joked, Su Huan rolled her eyes at him. Her crab beast was of the metal element, and didn't like water, so it was good enough that it could hold off for so long.
Si Ning raised his arm, and the raindrops immediately rose and scattered, not approaching their world. But Xia Xiao formed a seal, and Ju Mang appeared.
With the flapping of its wings, a mushroom-like tree grew out of the ground, covering the five people. Then Ju Mang rushed out from under the tree, picked up a handful of bright flowers with water droplets on them, and handed them to Shu Shuang.
"Xia Xiao asked me to deliver it."
Shu Shuang looked at Xia Xiao and took it with some emotion. Although it was covered with cold water droplets, she still held it in her arms.
Xia Xiao smiled and pretended to be calm, as if it was fine as long as Shu Shuang liked it. But secretly he gave Ju Mang a thumbs up and said well done!
Ju Mang raised his eyebrows, stood on the treetop, facing the sky, and enjoyed the spring rain that nourished the earth.
Holding flowers and hugging Xia Xiao's arm, they sat together on the dry tree roots, like the carefree prince and princess in the storybook. Siqin looked at them with great envy, but did not look at Si Ning. As long as she ignored him, he really would not talk to her. For so many days, he was like a piece of wood, or more accurately, a stone, because at least wood would grow.
"Why--"
With Shu Shuang leaning on his shoulder, Xia Xiao looked out of the tree. The forest and the grass were washed together by the heavy rain, forming an excellent landscape painting. Under the sound of the heavy rain, everything was quiet. The ground was covered with a layer of mist, and there was a slight coolness in the air. Xia Xiao, who always hated rainy days, dozed off because of Shu Shuang leaning on his shoulder. He leaned his face against Shu Shuang's head and fell asleep in a daze.
