?Chapter 697: Chapter 304: Negotiations with the Wood Spirit Clan Chapter 697: Chapter 304: Negotiations with the Wood Spirit Clan The Wood Spirit could indeed understand.
Lin Jing had guessed correctly; this Wood Spirit possessed spiritual intelligence.
Seeing the pleading look in the Wood Spirit’s eyes at that moment, Lin Jing did not soften his heart.
Instead, he once again gathered several streams of Five-Colored Aurora and injected them into the body of the Wood Spirit.
At the same time, he transmitted his voice:
“As long as you don’t play any tricks and honestly answer my upcoming questions, I won’t harm you.
However, if you have other ideas, I will immediately detonate the power within you.”
“Do you understand?”
The Wood Spirit hastily nodded:
“Understood…
Understood…”
Lin Jing nodded; only then did he relax, assessing the Wood Spirit before transmitting his voice and asking:
“Why did you attack me?”
The Wood Spirit looked at Lin Jing, a hint of grievance in its eyes, and then responded:
“You…
are an invader!”
“You outsiders, invaders, will destroy our home.”
“Are you calling yourself an invader?”
Taken aback upon hearing this, Lin Jing paused for a moment.
?????.??
He then realized that this Wood Spirit had always lived in the Wood Element Realm and naturally considered it home.
Since he had intruded suddenly, in that perspective, Lin Jing truly was an invader.
The Wood Element Realm was a necessary destination, invader or not; it had to be this way.
Lin Jing then asked again:
“Does your tribe always attack invaders proactively?”
The Wood Spirit nodded, then shook its head.
After that, the Wood Spirit transmitted,
“A long time ago, we originally would not attack invaders proactively.”
“But later, invaders from the outside world came.”
“They not only killed our tribespeople indiscriminately but also tried to steal the True Wood Spirit, which our tribe has protected for generations.”
The True Wood Spirit, that is indeed the True Wood Spirit.
No wonder this Wood Spirit attacked him on its own; that was the reason.
Just at that moment.
The Wood Spirit transmitted again:
“Invader, what you desire is the True Wood Spirit, but the True Wood Spirit has already been gone for many years.”
“Could you please stop killing our people?”
“If you promise not to kill our people, I will go and beg the old chieftain to give you some other treasure.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing fell silent for a moment, then looked at the Wood Spirit and transmitted:
“I see you are quite powerful; if I did not have some methods, I might have really fallen for your trick.”
“Your tribespeople, although not as strong as you, should not be much worse, right?”
“How come they are no match for those invaders?”
At that, the Wood Spirit slightly lowered its head, its gaze evasive, not daring to meet Lin Jing’s eyes:
“I…
I am somewhat different…”
Seeing this, Lin Jing immediately knew the Wood Spirit was definitely hiding something.
Therefore.
Lin Jing directly transmitted to the Wood Spirit:
“Come here, let me check your body.”
Upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, the Wood Spirit immediately became nervous and involuntarily stepped back two paces.
This action made Lin Jing even more suspicious.
Earlier, when Lin Jing had injected the Five-Colored Aurora into the body of the Wood Spirit,
he had discovered something was off within the Wood Spirit’s body.
Inside it was a presence akin to the True Wood Spirit.
If Lin Jing had not encountered the Metallic Attribute of the Five Elements True Spirit, he might have overlooked it, but having been in contact with the Metallic Attribute True Spirits, he could sense the presence of a similar True Spirit.
Now.
This action further confirmed his suspicion.
This Wood Spirit had a significant connection to the True Wood Spirit.
Seeing the Wood Spirit’s reluctance to come forward, Lin Jing transmitted directly:
“I have already detected the True Spirit within you; I just want to check, not harm you.”
Hearing Lin Jing say it directly, the Wood Spirit trembled and then, with a voice nearly crying, transmitted:
“Please, don’t kill me…”
“The True Spirit has already fused with me and cannot be extracted; even if you kill me, the True Spirit will also dissipate with me.”
“Please…”
Speechless, Lin Jing looked at the Wood Spirit; it appeared very frightened.
He wondered where it had found the courage to attack him initially.
Lin Jing continued, transmitting:
“I’ll see what exactly is inside you; if it’s really as you say, as long as you cooperate with my inspection, I won’t kill you.”
“But if you do not cooperate…”
Lin Jing looked at the Wood Spirit, his mind stirred, and the Five Elements Power inside the Wood Spirit’s body immediately became agitated.
The Wood Spirit shuddered in fear, looking at Lin Jing and nodding repeatedly.
“I…
I will cooperate.”
Having said that, the Wood Spirit reluctantly approached Lin Jing.
Lin Jing then spoke, asking the Wood Spirit:
“What is your name?”
“Ba…
Baba MùlÇŽng…”
“Baba MùlÇŽng, good!”
Lin Jing nodded.
Just as he was about to continue questioning, he sensed several ripples of energy approaching from afar.
Upon sensing these energy ripples, Lin Jing turned his head toward the direction from which the energy was coming.
Upon perceiving the energy, even Baba MùlÇŽng hurriedly raised his head, following Lin Jing’s gaze to look.
However, upon sensing the energy, Baba Mùlǎng appeared exceptionally excited.
Lin Jing looked toward the front and quickly saw several figures appear.
These figures were also Wood Spirits.
Very similar to Baba Mùlǎng.
All wore crowns made of woven leaves and cloaks made of leaves as well, even holding staffs resembling tree roots in their hands.
The Wood Spirits moved quickly; within moments, they had reached Lin Jing.
Lin Jing looked at the Wood Spirits ahead, his brow slightly furrowed.
At that moment, the oldest-looking Wood Spirit among them took a step forward.
