After Zhang Chulan and the others left,
"Liu, based on the current situation, this thing should be a passive activation type, and it's highly likely that it can only react to malicious intent. It's very similar to the magical equipment we saw in the village before."
Although Barran did not understand why Liu Xiaojiang wanted to stay behind, seeing that the 'Ent' was still guarding Jin Bao, he still turned to look at Liu Xiaojiang and said, "Let's go together."
"Be careful."
"Be careful." Liu Xiaojiang crossed his arms and walked to a fork in the road, giving Barran some space to move around.
"Although this thing is not as strong as the chumaxian 'sprites', this kind of existence can be considered quite troublesome for most ordinary Mutants …."
The existence of the 'Ent' was equivalent to a type of spiritual body. The reason why it was attached to a body made of branches was very likely because it did not have the ability to attack with its spiritual body. It could only rely on a 'medium' to exert physical attacks on its enemies.
What kind of weird thing is this ….?
If you said it was strange, it was not even comparable to the chumaxian of the northeast. It could only use a medium to carry out some conventional physical attacks.
If you said it was ordinary, it was really a spiritual body. Conventional attacks would not be able to cause any fatal damage to it.
Moreover, even if you used Qi to attack the body of this thing, unless you could completely destroy it with a single blow, you could only slowly exhaust its strength.
Therefore, when Barran proposed to find out the true nature of this thing, Liu Xiaojiang thought of taking advantage of the troublesome nature of 'Zhou Shuren' and took the initiative to stay behind to find out what was wrong with Barran.
After all, Barran was obviously of the same type as Feng Bao Bao. They were both Qi practitioners who used Qi to strengthen their Physique and martial arts. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for them to have the means to quickly deal with the 'Ent'.
On the other side.
While Liu Xiaojiang was pondering over Barran's ability, Barran had already exchanged a few blows with the 'Ent'. He had skillfully pulled away from the 'Ent' again.
"Tsk, the black substance in this thing's body is its main body. Attacks that carry a large amount of Ki will be more effective. However, if one doesn't have the ability to destroy it in one blow, one can only use it to wear down the power of its main body."
"This thing's intelligence level isn't high. It will counterattack the enemy's attack and attack the protected person if it releases malice. It does seem like Ma Xianhong's item. That's about it …" Rhode nodded.
Barran stood at the side with his dagger in hand. Seeing that the 'treant' had stopped attacking him, he could not help but reach out his hand to turn on his radio headset and explain the situation to the few people who were not present.
After explaining the situation,
Barran glanced at Liu Xiaojiang, who was standing in front of the fork in the road. He first turned off the radio headset, then shook his head helplessly.
"Liu, it's already over. It's indeed unnecessary for you to stay here. Is there anything you want to ask me?"
"Yes." Liu Xiaojiang did not deny this. Instead, he pointed at the 'treant' in the field and said, "Let's deal with it first, then we'll talk."
"Hey, I knew it." Barran was not surprised at all. He did not think that Liu Xiaojiang would harm him.
He smiled at Liu Xiaojiang, then slowly put the dagger to his mouth. He stuck out his tongue and smeared his saliva on the blade. Then, he looked at the 'treant' in the field again, as well as the unconscious foreigner, Jin Bao.
"Okay, I've roughly understood everything. No matter what you are or who made you … you can leave now!"
The next moment …
Barran instantly turned into an afterimage and rushed toward the 'treant' that was still protecting Jin Bao.
He casually slashed at it with his saber, and the big guy made of tree branches gradually disappeared into the air as if it had dissolved.
He actually used saliva …
The red light in Liu Xiaojiang's eyes immediately faded. He looked at Barran, who was walking toward him in the field, and suddenly frowned thoughtfully.
"Saint Thief?"
Barran paused in his action of putting away his dagger and said with a surprised expression, "You know about this?"
"After all, I stayed in Tenshi Province for a period of time. I know some of the legacies in this world," Liu Xiaojiang said with a shrug.
"Moreover, this Saint Thief came from Zhuangzi. Even if the Righteous Sect does not know how to use it, we should at least know a little about it."
"That's true." Barran obviously knew about the origins of the Saint Thief, so he did not doubt Liu Xiaojiang's words.
"But …" Liu Xiaojiang looked at Barran, who was standing in front of him, and narrowed his eyes.
"When I was in Green Touring Village, I saw a guy who used the Saint Thief method. Its name seemed to be something like the Celestial Energy …"
"But, no matter what this method is called, it is still borrowing the power of heaven and earth to strengthen one's own ability, or to speed up the recovery of the Qi consumed when fighting with others. It seems that some more complicated steps are needed to activate it. Your method … seems a little special."
"This is indeed the Saint Thief." Barran nodded with a smile.
"I know."
Liu Xiaojiang looked at Barran's abdomen and said, "The amount of Qi in your body, and the fact that it is quickly replenished when you fight, is definitely still within the scope of the Saint Thief method. No … it doesn't seem to be a method anymore, but a kind of constitution?"
"You don't need to be prepared like other people, and it doesn't seem like you are deliberately 'borrowing' the power of heaven and earth. Every time you consume Qi in your body, it will naturally be replenished. It seems like an instinctive reaction, and the whole process is abnormally easy."
"You should know that …"
"The reason why the Saint Thief is called a 'thief' is because the power they use does not completely belong to them. The advantage they gain from fighting with others comes entirely from the surrounding heaven and earth. The stolen and borrowed power does not belong to the thief himself. How can there be no pressure when using it?"
"Moreover …"
At this point, he slowly raised his head and looked at Barran. He gestured around Barran's abdomen with his hand and said,
"When you used that 'saliva' just now, more Qi was attached to your six viscera than other people. But, looking at your relaxed appearance at that time, it was clearly a habitual and instinctive action."
"In addition, when the 'treant' came into contact with the saliva, it looked like it was corroded and destroyed. It didn't seem like it was simply destroyed. There was actually a pure energy being transformed from it."
"Can I interpret this situation as you using your saliva to decompose the 'Ents' into pure Qi so that your six viscera can better digest and absorb it?"
