Chapter 368 Guardian Spirit
The self-imposed prison was broken, and the trees that turned to dust simply vanished.
"That was close! I almost died here. Thank you so much, Brother Long, for saving me."
Guan Hai took a deep breath, then bowed to him and expressed his gratitude.
"It's nothing, I just helped out in the process. There's no need to thank me here, since our ultimate goal is the Holy Leaf."
Long Shang's body gradually shrank, then transformed into human form, grinning at him without showing any arrogance.
But everyone knew that the other party's arrogance was deeply ingrained in his bones.
"Now that the cage has been completely broken open, it's time to harvest the sacred leaves."
Ye Ru looked at the lush foliage, a burning passion flashing in his eyes.
These sacred leaves all emitted a golden light and were accompanied by a pleasant fragrance.
After everyone breathed in this fragrance, their talent seemed to increase slightly.
This is the powerful force of Saint Leaf.
"We still need to be careful; the Sacred Ancient Tree won't give up so easily."
Long Shang's eyes showed a hint of seriousness before he slowly spoke.
"Ok, I know."
Ye Ru nodded and then answered, but suddenly felt that the surrounding sounds gradually became quieter and then disappeared completely.
"what happened?"
This scene caused Ye Ru's expression to change slightly. He then looked around and saw that Long Shang and the others had all disappeared.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to find another novice. Is the ancient tree's perception wrong? How could you possibly be the strongest one?"
"Who?"
As Ye Ru looked around, the surrounding air resonated with a surge of his talent, which flowed slowly at that moment, before he let out a sharp shout.
"Stop looking, here."
As Ye Ru turned his head, a deer-like creature appeared in front of him.
As soon as the creature appeared, it looked Ye Ru up and down, then shook its head in disappointment:
"Having been blessed by the Wenqu Star twice is not bad, but it is indeed a bit strange that a student who has been blessed by the Wenqu Star twice."
"Who are you?
Ye Ru did not answer, but instead asked in a deep voice, "This place is too strange."
“I am the guardian spirit of this sacred ancient tree. Every sacred ancient tree has a guardian spirit to protect it, in order to prevent disasters and select talents. The drawing of a circle on the ground that I just did was my doing. You are quite lucky, only one of you died.”
The guardian spirit curled its lip and said with interest.
"Guardian spirit?"
Ye Ru's expression also became somewhat solemn. Although he did not know what the other party's purpose was, the person who could open up such a space was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Yes, I caused all of this. If you want the Sacred Leaf, you have to pay a price."
The guardian spirit, with a hint of mockery in its eyes, spoke slowly.
What do you want me to do?
Ye Ru said warily.
"This Sacred Tree has existed for hundreds of years, but during the time of the Path, it suffered a devastating disaster and could only survive by consuming the Sacred Power it had previously stored. However, now that the Sacred Tree has chosen you, it believes that you can definitely heal it, although I don't know why."
The guardian spirit put away its playful tone and then spoke with a serious expression.
"You want me to heal it? To remove the toxins that the human traitor gave it back then?"
Ye Ru pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head and said.
"Yes, but it's not just the toxins, there are also some vengeful spirits from back then."
The guardian spirit nodded in response to Ye Ru's words, and then spoke again.
Seeing this, Ye Ru's lips twitched slightly, and then he slowly said:
"Could it be that even the purifying power of the ancient tree can't remove it? That can't be right. If so much holy power isn't enough, what can I do?"
Ye Ru knew that if even such powerful holy energy could not remove it, what could he, a mere novice, possibly do?
Moreover, there are vengeful spirits that originally resided here. If these spirits turn against you, you won't even know if you will live or die.
"No, since the Sacred Tree chose you and not someone else, you must have something that others don't have. For example, you are a member of the medical family, or you have medical books."
The guardian spirit shook its head and said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru's heart skipped a beat. He had previously spoken of the Ten Essentials of Medicine at Hua Shengshi's home and had even received the inheritance of the "Qing Nang Zi Shu" and the Five Animal Frolics. If that was the case, then his previous statement would make sense.
As Ye Ru was thinking, the guardian spirit waved its hand, and a small tree appeared beside him.
The sapling was golden, its branches swaying constantly, and rays of light emanating from it, dazzling the eye.
"Is this... the true form of the Sacred Ancient Tree?"
Ye Ru stared intently at the sacred ancient tree, and after a moment, exclaimed in surprise.
He could sense the immense power contained within this seemingly harmless sapling.
"This is the purest Tree of the Holy Path, and the Holy Path power contained within it is beyond your imagination."
Seeing Ye Ru's shocked face, the guardian spirit seemed to mock Ye Ru for his lack of knowledge and said...
"With my abilities, can I heal this sacred tree?"
Ye Ru frowned slightly. To be honest, he still didn't quite believe in his own abilities.
This is not about saving a person, but about saving an ancient tree, and a sacred ancient tree at that.
It is likely that the amount of talent and power that the opponent can withstand will be unprecedented.
"Don't worry, I will assist you. As long as the evil poison and those vengeful spirits in its body are expelled, this ancient tree may recognize you as its master and form a sacred ancient tree within your study, nourishing your talent and study, and creating a continuous source of sacred power for you."
The guardian spirit's expression turned extremely solemn, and then it said:
"So, will you agree?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru's expression turned somewhat grim. The temptation was immense. If he possessed the Sacred Ancient Tree, he could continuously collect Sacred Leaves, thus providing an extra layer of survival security for the border warriors.
However, if it fails, not only will the ancient tree die, but it will also suffer a strong backlash, which is no joke.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Ru still felt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, and decided to take a gamble:
"Fortune favors the bold. Open up, I agree. However, if I am fortunate enough to help the ancient tree drive it away, you must release my comrades."
"Alright, I'll help you kill the demons and monsters."
The guardian spirit smiled slightly, a hint of killing intent flashing across its face, and said.
"No need. I will handle the demons and monsters. Just agree to my request."
However, Ye Ru's words puzzled him when the guardian spirit finished speaking.
