Under Roman's guidance, Zhou Jing tested it for several days and finally measured the matching elements of Bill, the astral apostle.

They are rocks, flowing water, and strong winds, among which the wind and soil are most adaptable.

After thinking about it, Zhou Jing finally chose Qianfeng and focused on developing this element, which was not so conspicuous when used.

After receiving Zhou Jing's reply, Roman did not delay and arranged various matters in the base. He brought four guards and embarked on a journey to find the spirit of nature with Zhou Jing.

It was said that it was a search, but actually Roman knew the location and led the team straight to the destination.

The Terra Empire had a complex terrain, mainly divided by north and south, with mountains and forests in the north and plain basins in the south.

Roman's base is located at the junction of north and south. The group went north and spent more than ten days wading through mountains and rivers and going deep into the wild before they arrived at a steep mountain, which is called the Fengxiao Mountains in the local area.

Walking in this mountain range, the cold wind is like a knife, and the bone-bone coldness seems to be able to remove the skin...

From time to time, you can hear the whistling sound of the wind, and the higher the peak, the higher the frequency.

Everyone wore masks and felt hats, resisting the strong wind in front of them, and walking through the forest with difficulty.

Xiao Hei No. 1 followed Zhou Jing's feet, while the sword-tailed eagle stood on Zhou Jing's shoulder. He brought the hawk with him during this trip.

"Sir Roman, why do we come to such a place?"

The captain of the guard couldn't help but speak, with a look of embarrassment and puzzled.

"Don't ask, hurry up." Roman waved his hand, without any intention of answering.

The other three guards had no choice but to look at each other.

They didn't know about the wizard's affairs, they just followed the orders, but they didn't know what Roman meant. They ran to the wild forest for no reason. Isn't it okay to ask for excitement?

However, Bill, the former chief pharmacist of the Empire who had just joined, came like a few guards. They thought they were probably going to collect some rare herbs, so they had to suppress their confusion.

The four of them are not Roman's most elite secret guards, they are all just a strengthened alien blood warrior.

It's not their turn to defend Roman, but this time Roman said he didn't want to attract attention, so he brought these guards.

Roman walked to Zhou Jing and asked with concern: "Master Bill, can you still hold on?"

"I'm OK." Zhou Jing wrapped his clothes and deliberately sniffed.

Although this apostle in the astral realm has not been strengthened by different blood, his initial physique is still much greater than that of ordinary people. There is no big problem in this cold outdoor activities. But in front of Roman, Zhou Jing did not want to show it, so he pretended to be frozen.

Although it was noon at this time, the trees were covered with porches and lack of light in the mountains and forests, which seemed dim and cold, with low visibility, making people nervous.

Zhou Jing glanced at him from both sides and whispered: "Does this kind of poor mountain and bad water have the spirit of nature?"

"This is mostly the case. Only in a more extreme environment can the spirit of nature be born."

Roman spread his hands, paused, and continued to lower his voice and explained:

"The destination of our trip is a cave at the peak. I have seen the spirit of nature there before. If it had not been merged by other wizards, it should still be there."

"Ask a pity, how long ago did you find out?"

"Uh, twenty years?"

"pretty."

Zhou Jing was a little speechless.

Can memories from twenty years ago still be reliable now?

Roman shrugged: "I wasn't sure before I came, but now it can be concluded that the natural spirit here has not been taken away. The elemental vision can see the distribution of elements, and the natural spirit is a high concentration of element aggregation, which will leave special traces that will last for a long time during action, so it can be tracked."

"Then I believe you." Zhou Jing nodded.

He is not a serious wizard yet, and he needs psychic ointment to open the elemental horizon. The ritual is complicated, so he is not in this state at this moment, just led by Roman.

Everyone walked for a while, and suddenly a slight rustling sound came from the woods, as if a large number of creatures were stepping on dead leaves and approaching quickly.

No. 1, Xiao Hei immediately rested, grinned, and let out a ruthless roar.

"Be careful, sir!"

The captain of the guard quickly drew out his sword and shield, and together with the other three guards, he protected Roman and Zhou Jing in the middle, looking vigilantly at the direction where the sound came.

Roman's face did not change his color.

At this time, more than twenty blue beasts the size of calves ran out of the forest and surrounded several people and wandered around.

The fur is thick and the shape is like a tiger and leopard. The two pairs of long canine teeth are extremely conspicuous, and the pair of crystal yellow beast eyes are brutal.

"The toothed leopard is a group creature. Although it is a wild beast, its combat power is not much weaker than some ordinary low-level alien beasts... Generally speaking, the normal toothed leopard tribe does not exceed ten, and there are more than twenty here. They should be the followers of a certain alien beast..."

Zhou Jing muttered in a low voice.

Some powerful alien beasts have special habits and may enslave wild beasts of the same species and become their own followers.

As soon as the words finished, the ground vibrated slightly

I saw a bush lodging in front of me, a black purple giant leopard more than three meters tall walking out, and quietly, along the spine, there was a erected black mane, like a black flame, and a long tail covered with scales, like a spike iron whip.

His eyes were red, cruel and cold, staring at the few people, obviously treating them as food.

"Okay, black flame leopard, high-risk alien beast."

Zhou Jing turned his head and looked at Roman, as if he was asking you with his eyes if he could do it.

Roman didn't look at him either, but just took a photo of the guards and said:

"I was not lucky and I actually encountered a strange beast. I just depended on you to deal with it."

The four guards swallowed secretly, feeling nervous.

They are not serious beast hunters, and they have limited experience in fighting beasts.

They can still deal with more than twenty wild beasts, but if there is an extra high-risk alien beast, it will be more dangerous.

The captain of the guard complained that Roman brought them to such a dangerous place, but the matter was useless now. He gritted his teeth: "Mr. Roman, you can escape quickly, I will take someone to cut off the rear for you!"

"Yes! Sir, go quickly!"

The other three guards were sweating.

"We are in the mountains and forests, and I'm afraid we can't get rid of these wild beasts." Roman said indifferently.

At this moment, the black flame leopard roared, as if giving an order, and more than twenty long-toothed leopards immediately rushed up from all directions.

"kill!"

The four guards roared, waved their weapons to kill the thundering leopard, trying to protect Roman and Zhou Jing behind them to escape.

The leopards with long teeth rushed up, and their claws and sharp teeth hit the guard's shield, making a dull sound.

The four alien blood warriors defended their duties and kept coming out with white knives, cutting off many thrusts that rushed out of their heads and blew their stomachs. The people suddenly became bloody, and many whimpering beasts fell.

However, there are many wild beasts, and the four of them cannot resist all the attacks. They are pounced by the toothed leopard from time to time, and are dragged and staggered by the wild beasts, and are torn and scratched.

Xiao Hei No. 1 surrounded Zhou Jing. Once a fish that escaped the net rushed in, it rushed forward and bit and fight with the other party.

The size and combat effectiveness of the black-spotted hyena are far inferior to that of the Toothed Leopard, but Xiao Hei No. 1 has been raised for a long time by Zhou Jing and has been raising countless medicines. She is strong and can even be difficult to distinguish with the Toothed Leopard. Once she finds an opportunity in the battle and uses her anal ability to bite off the enemy's vital points, she can win with one blow.

The sword-tailed eagle hovered in the air and dived from time to time, like a sharp arrow that was repeatedly shot. As long as you peck the leopard in the middle, it could leave a bloody hole. Sweep the sword tail, it would look like a sharp blade, cutting the flesh and blood of the leopard. If a pair of eagle claws buckle the spine of the leopard in the middle, it could directly tear the enemy's bones.

As a low-level alien beast, the combat power of the sword-tailed eagle is much higher than that of the dog.

Although Zhou Jing has a body that is higher than ordinary people, he cannot handle so many enemies. He just lets his pet help, but Roman on the side has no movement.

Just as the four of them were fighting hard, a black shadow suddenly flashed, as fast as an illusion.

"ah!"

With a scream, the captain of the guard was knocked out by the Black Flame Leopard. Before he could get up, he was pressed under his claws by the Black Flame Leopard and struggled endlessly.

The captain of the guard gritted his teeth and waved his weapon, trying to stab the Black Flame Leopard in the leg, forcing him to remove his claws, but at this moment, he saw the Black Flame Leopard open his bloody mouth to him, and a red light ignited in his mouth.

Huh—Puff!

The black flame leopard suddenly spit out the surging red flames and swallowed the head of the guard captain.

The fire lasted for a few seconds before it stopped. The head of the guard captain had turned into charcoal on the ground, and he could not die anymore.

"Oops!"

Without the backbone, the remaining three guards were in chaos.

The black flame leopard flew past again and bit a guard into two pieces in the waist.

The remaining two guards could no longer resist and were bitten by the beasts rushing forward, and their struggles became less and less.

Zhou Jing turned his head and looked at Roman: "You have to wait until the guards are dead before you can take action?"

"I don't want to show the power of a wizard in front of outsiders."

Roman didn't care.

This trip to look for the spirit of nature may show the power of the wizard. He did not want to leak the secrets to too many people, so he did not lead the large army.

But when two people travel, no one can do it, which is too troublesome, so he brought a group of weak edge guards, which is equivalent to finding a few entourages to take care of their daily life. At the same time, when encountering some minor troubles, he doesn't have to take action himself, someone will do it for him.

If it goes well, there is no need to use witchcraft.

But if you encounter some greater dangers and have to do it yourself and are unwilling to reveal the secret, you have to sacrifice yourself... So bringing some valuable personnel to facilitate your actions.
To be continued...
