Zhang Hao could not advance or retreat now. If he allowed the whip to land on his body, even though he did not have battle energy or magic, he did not know if the whip would absorb his internal energy. If that happened, his ten years of hard work would be wasted. Although he could leave now, as long as he took advantage of the situation, Zhang Hao was confident that not many people could stop him.
Although Zhang Hao had more than ten years of Taiji skill and should have been calm when faced with things, he was still young and the only child in the family. He had not encountered any storms. Now that he had encountered something difficult to decide for the first time, he could not help but reveal a hesitant expression.
Zhang Hao was thinking in his heart, but Sanguine Wolf had been paying attention to his expression. When he saw Zhang Hao hesitating, he had already begun to believe that Zhang Hao was definitely that Fire Spider.
The first to strike was the strongest, and the last to strike was the victim. This was a well-known saying in this continent, especially when his opponent was an 'assassinator'.
Sanguine Wolf swung his right hand, and the whip wrapped around Zhang Hao along with the wind.
Even though Zhang Hao was lost in thought, he had already sensed Zinte's attack the moment he made his move. He circulated his internal strength throughout his body. Looking at the whip flashing with blue light and sweeping towards him with the wind, Zhang Hao's heart was racing. Finally, he gritted his teeth and forcefully suppressed his body's instinct to jump back. He stood still and observed the situation first. If the whip could really absorb his internal energy, he would knock out the blood wolf with a palm strike from afar. At that time, he could change his name and run to another city to plead guilty. Zhang Hao did not want to do such a thing.
The whip wrapped around Zhang Hao's body and circled around him twice. Sanguine Wolf revealed a happy smile. As long as this thing wrapped around someone, no matter how powerful they were, a portion of their magic or combat energy would be instantly absorbed by him. According to Samshen's information, the Fire Spider was extremely fast and could use unknown spells that could make people dizzy. It even used a thumb-sized stone to dispel Samshen's self-created spell,'Tracking Fireball'. It could even nail itself into a tree. After Samshen checked the tree, he was surprised to find that it was only a little finger away from piercing through the trunk that was as strong as Samshen's waist.
With such strength, he was at least an Intermediate Assassin, while Zinte was an Intermediate Elemental Warrior. The two of them were of the same level and had similar strength. Zinte knew that the night belonged to the Assassins, but in terms of direct confrontation, Zinte was confident that he could fight with the highest level of the Thief profession, the Assassin. However, if an assassin wanted to escape, no one could stop him except for a grand mage or sorcerer who could silently cast Binding Wind, Mind Control, Blind, and other abilities that could restrict the enemy's movements. Even a sorcerer would not have a high success rate in casting these spells silently.
However, as long as he could absorb a part of the assassin's magic or combat aura, Zinte was confident that he could stop him. Bandits were famous for their explosive power and weak endurance. Now, he believed that Zhang Hao must have absorbed a lot of magic or combat aura. It would not be difficult to capture him alive.
After Zhang Hao was bound by the blue whip, he felt that the inner Qi in his dantian was showing signs of losing control. He thought to himself that this was not good. If this continued, it would be a small matter if his inner Qi was absorbed. If his inner Qi went astray, it would be difficult to deal with Qi deviation. With that thought in mind, he was just about to use his internal energy to break free from the whip when something unexpected happened. The blue light that was still shining on the whip quickly dimmed and extinguished in the blink of an eye. The uncontrollable internal energy also calmed down.
The leather whip loosened automatically and fell to the ground. Zhang Hao saw Zinte standing in front of him with his mouth wide open and his eyes wide open!
What was going on? Did he know her secret? He looked as if he had seen a ghost. Zhang Hao took two steps forward and was about to wake up this dazed person.
"Don't come over!" Zinte shouted and threw away the long whip in his hand. He took a few steps back and knocked over two chairs!
"Milord, are you alright?" Zhang Hao was confused. He should be the one who was afraid of running away. What was he afraid of?
"It's fine now, but if you come any closer, something will happen!”"So you have the Devil Devourer Body!" Zinte cried. Why didn't he say it clearly earlier? It's over. The Demon-Binding Whip was destroyed. Lachfair would definitely be angry!”
Devil Devourer Body? What was that? Zhang Hao looked at Zinte who was panicking and suddenly thought of a plan.
"This is my secret! I hope you can keep my secret!”Zhang Hao bowed and pretended to plead.
Jinte nodded and picked up two chairs."I swear in the name of the Elemental God! No wonder you were able to chop off the thousand-year-old branch and send it to Crocco City.”
The Barrier Tree was a type of tree with magic power. Because it was strengthened by magic, this tree was abnormally hard. Only Intermediate High-level Warriors or Intermediate High-level Magicians could cut down the branches of the Thousand-year Barrier Tree. Although other professions also knew Combat Aura or magic, they were not specialized in it, so they usually had to be in Advanced positions to do so.
However, the Magic Devourer Body was different. He could first touch the tree and temporarily absorb the magic of the barrier tree. Then, he could use his hands to gently break the branch!
However, this was not the most difficult part. In the human world, the only place where the Tree of the Water God could grow was the Spring of Ishka in the city of Croc, a forest with a thousand-year-old enchantment tree. The closest one was the northern forest where Zhang Hao had just arrived. It was far from Croc City, and the best horse would take three taka to gallop. Because of the enchantment tree's magic power, it would automatically grow roots after two taka. At that time, the enchantment tree could no longer become the Tree of the Water God.
Mages had the Flying Spell, but the speed of this spell was not very fast, and it consumed a lot of magic power! Even a sorcerer's flying spell would not be faster than the best warhorse! The other spell was Teleportation, which could only be used by grand mages and above. This spell could be used as long as the target was located beforehand. Unfortunately, this spell required a magic material--
It was said that there were only six pieces of this material in the entire continent, and they were all strictly guarded by the country. This was because once a large-scale battle broke out, if they could teleport an elite troop to the rear of the enemy, they could turn the tide of the war! The country would not allow such an important item to be owned by a single person.
The last was the Elves. Wind Scamper could reach Kroko City from the Northern Forest in two hours. Unfortunately, the relationship between elves and humans was extremely bad. No one dared to enter the elf country, the elf forest in the south! Not to mention hiring an elf to work for you! The owner of the magic shop said that he had asked his elf friend to help him complete the mission. What a joke!
However, the Magic Devourer Body was different. He could devour all the magic power of the branch. Without the effect of magic power, the barrier branch would not grow! After it was placed in the spring, the branch would slowly absorb the magic around it, and then it would fuse with Iskar's spring water, becoming the most precious treasure of Croc City, the Tree of the Water God.
Although Zhang Hao did not know what the Devil Devourer Body was, he decided to use this identity properly! This was extremely beneficial for hiding his true identity! As for why Zinte was afraid of him, he would ask Alicia tonight. Perhaps she would know! He absolutely could not ask Blood Wolf. If he asked, he would be exposed!
Zinte was very depressed now. He had made a wrong guess and wronged an irrelevant person! He had damaged Lachfair's beloved whip! There was no point in staying any longer! Zinte picked up the long whip and dejectedly bowed to Zhang Hao. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said,""No matter who asks you about the barrier tree in the future, I hope you won't admit it! Because once it was leaked, it was very likely that you would be captured and used as a test subject in the Royal Magic Academy! I don't think you want this to happen."
A white mouse! Zhang Hao finally couldn't help but roll his eyes for the first time in his life. He seemed to have made an unprofitable decision!
Seeing Zhang Hao's depressed expression, Blood Wolf smiled and said,""Don't worry, I'll make sure the owner of the magic shop keeps his mouth shut. This is my apology for wrongly accusing you!”
