Witch Wind

Chapter 48: The Secret Forest (Part )

Xing Tianli looked at the direction where the big black dog and his group retreated. He raised his hand and sucked in a few clumps of hair that had fallen to the ground from the old bear and the tiger monster into his palm and held them tightly.

He couldn't help but shake his head slightly. These guys seemed to be lacking in inheritance.

In other words, although it is in the tradition, they don’t take it to heart and they don’t care anymore.

In the Dharma Ending Age, they even use their physical bodies more often when fighting, and are reluctant to use even their magic power. I guess their knowledge of magic powers such as "curse" is also very limited, right?

"It's wrong to have never suffered." Xing Tianli glanced at the place where the three old fox ladies were just now. Tsk, they are indeed as cunning as foxes. They didn't leave even a hair on the ground!
The woman in the green dress rushed to the injured woman. A tiny flower on the crutch in her hand suddenly expanded from the size of a mung bean to the size of a human head. A stream of crystal silver-blue nectar slid from the pistil and fell into the mouth of the injured woman.

The woman's almost extinguished life force suddenly became fierce. She twitched violently and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and internal organs. She gasped and straightened her upper body: "Sister!"

The woman in the green dress supported her and went to the two severely injured Great Danes, saving them with the same method. The two Great Danes climbed up with gray faces and shouted angrily: "My lord, we must take revenge on these low-level creatures. How dare they attack the honorable Lady Ilse?"

"Shut up, useless fellow!" The woman in the green dress glared at them fiercely, and helped Ilse sit on the back of the white leopard. The two women rode together, and the leopard walked briskly, disappearing into the darkness in a few flashes. The two Great Danes roared angrily at the group of wooden men, and hurriedly followed.

The faint glowing runes on the wooden man quickly dimmed, and with a 'pop' sound, it exploded into rotten wood all over the ground.

In the air, two different kinds of strange fragrance gradually dissipated. Xing Tianli was surrounded by mottled light and shadows. He curiously followed the two women. They left Pink Cat Street, turned around White Goose Street, and turned around Pelican Street. They walked along the dimly lit, quiet and deserted alleys until they arrived at a mansion at the northern end of Fontainebleau Street.

A luxury house at the end.

It covers an area of ​​nearly 200 acres, and more than 70% of the land is planted with a large number of flowers and fruit trees at an extremely high density.

It is the flower season, and the flowers of these trees are in full bloom, emitting fragrance. The bright moonlight shines on the trees, and tens of thousands of nightingales are singing on the branches. Amid the melodious bird calls, a large number of fireflies are floating in the woods, and the flickering lights make the dense forest shrouded in the shade of the trees glow with floating light, like a dream.

The owner of the house even planted some extremely rare luminous mushrooms under the roots of many trees!
These mushrooms are huge in size, some are almost as tall as a three or five-year-old child. The mushrooms emit red, blue, and green lights, which interweave with the fluorescence of fireflies, making the house look like it is floating in a dream.

The forest of secret words.

This is a well-known place in the International Concession. In the archives of the East Country Investigation Office of the British Consulate General, the information about this "Secret Language Forest" is at least three feet thick.

Even Xing Tianli, during these busy days, had heard of the name of this house from Tom and Jerry.

The owner of the Whisper Forest has a mysterious identity. It is said that she is a descendant of the Farus royal family that was destroyed in the Far West Hundred Kingdoms War thirty years ago. She is also a top noblewoman. After the Farus royal family was beheaded by the guillotine, this noblewoman who escaped by chance took a huge amount of wealth and fled to the distant Dayu Dynasty.

In the International Concession, money means everything.

The lady bought a large piece of land and built the Secret Language Forest in a very short time. Soon it became the top private club in the International Concession.

It offers the best cigars, the best wine, the most gentle women, and the safest and most private environment.

Almost all the officials of the consulates in the International Concession, almost all the richest tycoons and other big shots, like to come to the Secret Language Forest for a visit whenever they have time.

They have no shortage of cigars, wine, or women, but the Whisper Forest also offers something else.

For example, some pure natural plant extracts are completely harmless to the body, but can make you forget all your stress and worries for a period of time and make you feel euphoric.

For example, some essences extracted from plants, after clever combination, can make an eighty-year-old man like an eighteen-year-old young man, fighting with a young and delicate girl for three days and three nights and still holding his head high. This is a strange wine.

For example, some embarrassing skin diseases that are inconvenient to be known to your family, lover, or friends, which grow in some private parts, or are contracted due to some indiscreet passionate behaviors. Other doctors are helpless about this, but in Secret Forest, all your worries can be eliminated in a very short time!
The intelligence officers of the East Country Investigation Office of the Yingji Consulate General, as well as many of their colleagues, intelligence officers from powerful countries such as Farus, Idoli, Saint Norman, and Saint Rose, wanted to use some means to control the Secret Language Forest and turn it into their own intelligence gathering base.

But when they were shocked to find that among the members of the Secret Language Forest, there were the bosses of their bosses, they decisively gave up this idea!
The woman in the green dress and Ilse, riding on a silver-white leopard and accompanied by two Great Danes, quietly entered the Dark Whisper Forest through a very secluded side door. Not long after they entered the Dark Whisper Forest, a figure wearing a black robe and a hood, with a faint sound of silver bells on his wrists, also walked in quickly.

Xing Tianli did not go through the door, but sank directly into the ground and escaped into this legendary house.

In the Dark Whisper Forest, the seemingly bright luminous mushrooms and the faint light emitted by fireflies have a strange ability to subtly distort the vision of normal people. If you stand outside the forest, a normal person can only see a beautiful light and shadow. Even if you are only two or three steps away, you can't see what is happening in the forest at all.

The woman in the green dress and Ilse breathed a sigh of relief when they entered the forest. They stretched their bodies comfortably and jumped off the leopard's back lightly. The woman in the green dress stretched hard and then grabbed Ilse's ears fiercely.

"Ilse, I told you it's dangerous out there. Be careful no matter what you do!"

"If it weren't for your highness' warning, I wouldn't have had time to rescue you. What would have happened to you?"

Ilse screamed in pain. She tilted her head and yelled in embarrassment, "Ilse, let go, let go, be gentle. I didn't do anything. I just went outside to get some fresh air and walk the dog. Who would have thought that the damn dog would come to our door!"

Elise loosened her fingers, put her hands in, and looked at the two Great Danes curled up nearby with an extremely dangerous look.

"In order to take you away, Ilse was almost in dire straits."

The two Great Danes curled up on the ground, looking at the two women with bitter faces and panting.

There was a gentle sound of wings breaking through the wind overhead, and two large birds with beautiful feathers that Xing Tianli had seen in Huaigong Ridge lightly descended and landed on the branches of two acacia trees. They looked at the two suffering Great Danes with obvious glee.

"I heard that these barbaric and terrible natives have a custom of eating dog meat as a tonic on hot days." A big bird suddenly spoke up, laughing in a very clear and sweet girlish voice: "Two big fat dogs like these should be able to sell for a lot of money!"

The two Great Danes were obviously anxious. They jumped up with a roar and barked at the two big birds. They cursed and complained, saying things like "Honest people who do practical things are not valued", "Treasurers who slack off are the most popular", and "The world is unfair, so it's better to destroy it quickly"!

In a word, it is a tearful accusation by the 'old employees' who work hard and have made great contributions on both sides against the 'trusted secretary who does nothing all day long' beside the boss!
Xing Tianli hid underground, his soul quietly paying attention to every move on the ground, and he almost burst out laughing.

Amid the sound of silver bells, a hooded figure in a black robe walked around several large trees and came to a small clearing in the forest. He exhaled and took off his hood. He was a young man with gray-green hair and gray-green eyes, of medium height, slender figure, delicate features, and a rather androgynous appearance.

Because the young man's appearance was too deceptive, Xing Tianli's spiritual power deliberately rolled over him, and only then was he sure that this was a young man.

"Iris, Ilse, what happened just now?" The young man frowned and spread his hands. "Please don't cause any trouble in the near future. The Holy Mother Church has encountered an extremely powerful enemy, and the situation inside is very tense. I am trying my best to find out the truth, but I may not always have the opportunity to rescue you in time!"

Iris and Ilse frowned at the same time.

Iris scolded the young man rudely, "That's enough, Sig. Who allowed you to speak to us in such a tone? You lowly male, have you betrayed the ancestral rules of our tribe by leaving your homeland?"

The young man Sig was silent, then he bowed to the two women and said, "I'm sorry, Lady Iris, Lady Ilse, it's me, I'm being abrupt. But..."

Iris interrupted Sig: "No buts. Remember, you don't need to think about anything. You only need to obey, obey, and obey again. Do things according to His Highness and our will. That's enough!"

"As inferior males, you are just tools. Tools don't need so much nonsense!" Sig took a deep breath.

His eyelids drooped, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He bowed deeply to the two women again: "So, what should I do next?"

Ilse's eyes widened as a green vine suddenly emerged from her hand, whipping Sig's back with a gust of wind. "You are so stupid, you are indeed an inferior male. Go find those who dared to attack me, find them, and then, with the power of the Virgin Mary, kill them!"

"Do we need to tell you something so obvious?"

"Shouldn't you take the initiative to do this simple thing, and do it as well as possible, and bring their heads to us in the shortest possible time?"

The vines fell heavily on Sig's back, leaving a long tear in his divine robe.

Black scraps of cloth fluttered down.

Ilse frowned and said, "Also, we have already paid such a huge price for you, and you are still a low-level black robe? We don't expect you to be able to wear a gold robe in a short time, but at least you should be able to get a white robe of the archdeacon, right?"

"Sure enough, he is a low-class male, totally useless!"

"We have provided you with so much money and intelligence over the years, and this is the result we get?"

Xing Tianli suddenly realized - as expected, it was you guys who tipped off the people of the Holy Mother Church.

Sig leaned forward and said softly, "Today, the Holy Mother Church suffered a heavy loss. Because of the merits we have accumulated before, we now have the opportunity to be promoted. This is why I came to find you two adults. It will probably only take a thousand gold coins for me to be promoted to a teaching position, and I can better serve Your Highness and you two adults."

Iris said coldly: "You are the only one? You are the only one who can be promoted?"

Sig said hurriedly, "No, no, there are a total of 22 positions for promotion to the church. All of us meet the conditions for promotion. We are trying our best to get all 22 positions. The price of each position is high and low. The position of priest that I am interested in is worth 1,000 gold coins."

"Your Highness has ordered that all of us, all matters, no matter how big or small, must be reported to the Lords in person. We are strictly forbidden to report on behalf of others." Sig said humbly: "So, I only raised the situation I am facing. I need one thousand gold coins here."

"They will come back one by one later and report their intelligence to Your Highness and the other gentlemen."

Sig tried his best to explain: "Such a big thing happened during the day. Now the situation inside the Holy Mother Church is very tense. It is not easy for us to go out."

Xing Tianli smacked his lips vigorously on the ground.

It turned out to be the case.

This Sig, and countless others, were all spies sent by Dark Forest to infiltrate the Holy Mother Church. To put it bluntly, they were spies and secret agents. However, Dark Forest's actions were not very clear.

Take the funding for this matter, for example. Look at Oger and Augustus, they are very generous to Xing Tianli. They provide him with unlimited financial support.

And this unfortunate Sig, who wanted to be promoted because so many people in the Virgin Mary Church died during the day and so many senior teaching positions were vacant, couldn't even come up with a thousand gold coins?

Comparing the generosity of Oger and Augustus, Xing Tianli couldn't help but shake his head.

There is no shortage of money in the Secret Language Forest.

There is definitely no shortage of money.

According to the intelligence of the East Country Investigation Office, this is one of the most expensive places in the International Concession. I won't mention anything else, but the secret medicinal wine that can make an 80-year-old man return to the age of 18, the price of a bottle is astonishingly thousands of gold coins!
Not to mention, Dark Language Forest has so many other messy side businesses. There are so many officials, so many wealthy businessmen, and so many big men in the International Concession, all of whom are at the mercy of Dark Language Forest.

And a secret agent like Sig couldn't even come up with a thousand gold coins!

"Ugh!" In a sense, Xing Tianli and Xige were 'workers' of the same status. Xing Tianli inexplicably felt empathy for Xige, and he despised the so-called 'Your Highness' in their mouths even more.

Meanwhile, 'inferior males'?
What the hell is this?
The power of Xing Tianli's soul surged like an undercurrent, drowning Iris and the other two again. Strands of soul power penetrated their skin, drilled into their flesh, and quietly sneaked into the deepest part of their bodies.

Well.

Their bones were thinner, longer, and lighter than those of normal people. But their bones were not fragile. On the contrary, due to some strange grid-like structure and strange bone composition, their bones were tougher than ordinary refined steel.

This results in them having extremely strong physical strength, which is almost overwhelming compared to ordinary people.

At the same time, their light and thin bones make their movements lighter and faster.

Their muscle composition is more exquisite, like a work of art. Their muscle fibers are thinner, but longer and tougher, and the muscle fibers are outlined together in a way that can be called a gorgeous work of art, allowing them to burst out with strength far beyond that of ordinary people with thinner and finer muscle tissue.

Combined with their strong skeletons, these guys' seemingly slender bodies hide physical strength that is enough to compete with the current Xing Tianli.

Of course, this kind of strength cannot be compared with monsters like Augustus and Diss who have powerful and terrifying bodies, but Iris and the others obviously do not rely on physical strength to make a living - their bodies, whether it is skin, muscles, blood or bone marrow, are filled with extremely powerful light green energy.

It is full of vitality and is constantly exchanging a miraculous energy with the surrounding plants.

This light green energy gives them extraordinary vitality.

Their spiritual power is even more amazing.

Xing Tianli's spiritual power carefully invaded their minds. He was surprised to find that in Xige's mind, his soul power had been completely fixed into a green rune that looked like a crescent moon, which was constantly emitting a faint green light.

But in the minds of Iris and Ilse, their soul power was like a clear spring. In the silver-green soul power, there was a constantly changing moon symbol flashing, changing from a crescent moon to a full moon all the time.

It was obvious that Sig's soul power had been locked, and there was no possibility of any further progress.

The soul power of the two women is full of vitality, like a spring, constantly growing and expanding, full of endless possibilities!
Maybe this is why Sig is called an 'inferior male'?
Xing Tianli was just about to secretly use his spiritual power to do something to the souls of the three people. Suddenly, from a higher dimension, an extremely cold and fierce aura looked over from afar.

Xing Tianli felt a chill all over his body and he quickly withdrew his spiritual power.

Damn guys, these three people are just like Oger, Augustus, Disi and others that Xing Tianli met these days. There are weird things in their souls. Even the current Xing Tianli is unwilling to provoke them easily.
