The four of them got off the magic carriage and were led by the legendary thief into the maple forest in front of them.
This maple forest is not very big. As soon as Wang Zhifan came over, he used his super perception to confirm that there was no saint hidden in it, but there was a vague law fluctuation point, which seemed to indicate something.
In addition, he also noticed that after arriving here, the elf wizard wearing a platinum robe and the strong dwarf old man with a long bow on his back became very alert and hung far behind the team.
Wang Zhifan was very confident in his detection ability, so he made no such small moves and almost walked side by side with the legendary thief leading the way.
"Where is the Saint? Why didn't you see him?"
At this moment, Wang Zhifan pretended not to notice anything and asked the thin and wretched hooded man next to him, with just the right look of confusion on his face.
"It's almost here. Big guy, you don't think the Saint will just stand here and wait for us to come, do you? He must have hidden himself long ago."
The thin hooded man answered as he headed towards an inconspicuous opening in the maple forest. He quickly stood next to it and turned to look at the legendary elf wizard and legendary dwarf archer who were slowly approaching in the distance.
"Why don't you leave?"
Although Wang Zhifan knew very well that the law fluctuation point he had just detected was nearby, he still asked knowingly.
The legendary thief seemed a little impatient at this moment, waved his hand and replied:
"Big guy, don't ask so many questions, just wait and see."
After a while, the elf wizard and the dwarf archer who walked cautiously arrived. Among them, the dwarf archer carefully observed the surroundings and found nothing unusual. The elf wizard was worthy of being a wizard and was keenly aware of the abnormal law fluctuations in the gap.
The thin and wretched legendary thief immediately said to the elf wizard:
"Your Majesty the Wizard, I finally found out that the saint is hiding here. It seems that you have discovered something. I hope you can find him."
"I'll give it a try."
The legendary elf wizard with a serious face nodded slightly after hearing this. The black staff in his hand slowly condensed powerful energy, and then suddenly launched all the concentrated energy towards the law fluctuation point!
In an instant, very smoothly, something similar to a space crack or portal was exposed to the air, showing an unstable appearance.
"Haha! Success! I knew that guy was hiding here! Everyone, follow me to hunt him! Don't give him a chance to escape!"
When the legendary thief saw this scene, he jumped into the space crack without hesitation, as if he was a poor man who had discovered a huge treasure.
However, Wang Zhifan and the other three people did not follow them in. They all stayed outside, and some even took a few steps back.
Because everyone felt that something was wrong with this space crack. It appeared so smoothly and so naturally that it was difficult not to make people wonder if it was some kind of trap.
"Sir Warrior, I think you can see that this thief is very abnormal. I hope you can stand with us so that no one will be deceived by him."
The elf wizard wearing a platinum robe and holding a black staff was paying attention to the situation on the other side of the space crack and said to Wang Zhifan.
Not far from her, the strong old dwarf man stretched his long bow horizontally, and aimed the sharp arrows that exuded a dangerous aura at the direction of the crack in space. There was no doubt that he had united the front with the elf wizard.
"I have no problem...but it seems a little late for us to join forces now."
After hearing this, Wang Zhifan answered in a calm tone and turned to look at the periphery of the maple forest.
The elf wizard's expression suddenly changed, and he also looked in the direction they had just walked, only to find that a circle of constantly fluctuating hazy objects had enveloped the entire maple forest, including the high sky.
"Teleportation!"
She immediately began to activate the power of the space system, trying to escape from this cage that had quietly taken shape at some point.
The dwarf archers suddenly released the bowstring between their fingers, letting an extremely powerful arrow fly into the sky, impacting the strange barrier that blocked them.
However, it soon proved that their efforts were in vain.
The elf wizard's teleportation technique was brewing until it finally failed to be released, while the dwarf archer's sharp arrow fell into the sea and disappeared silently after touching the barrier of the sky, leaving not even the smallest hole or trace.
Wang Zhifan, who was standing not far from them, had been observing and did not make any attack or escape behavior.
"Mother Earth! Give me the power to walk through rock and earth!"
The unwilling elf wizard then released another spell and submerged her body into the ground, trying to leave through the underground. However, within a few seconds, her figure emerged from the ground awkwardly. There was no doubt that she failed again.
"I knew there was no such thing as a coincidence in the world. This is indeed a trap!"
The strong old dwarf archer showed his anger with a cold expression after shooting several times in succession to no avail.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the legendary thief's urgent cry for help came from the nearby space crack:
"Come in and help! I can't hold on any longer!"
No matter how it sounded, he seemed to be in great danger, but the three people outside the space rift were unmoved. The elves and dwarves even backed away.
Wang Zhifan was the only one standing there. He focused his perception into the crack in space. He quickly raised his brows and discovered something, and jumped into it without hesitation.
The elf wizard and the dwarf archer couldn't help but glance at each other when they saw this. They felt that Wang Zhifan's move was beyond their expectations, but they did not jump in and remained cautiously outside.
At this moment, Wang Zhifan, who had passed through the rift in space, came to a closed place similar to a cave. The first thing that caught his eye was a man in long clothes with a strong aura but a dull look.
The man's whole body released extraordinary power, which not only resisted the thin black-clothed thieves who continuously flashed around to attack him, but also caused the thieves to be knocked back more than ten meters out of thin air from time to time, taking advantage of the scene.
"Come and help me hold him down!"
When he discovered that Wang Zhifan had finally come in, the legendary thief looked very surprised and quickly retreated in the direction where Wang Zhifan was standing, hoping that Wang Zhifan would take over his fight and drag the man in long clothes who was suspected of being the target saint for him.
But Wang Zhifan ignored him. He focused his eyes on the man in long clothes in front of him who had a strong aura but a dull look. Then he suddenly raised the unsheathed Qingdi Sword in his hand and struck it behind his shoulder. There was a clear sound. , he used his scabbard to fight off the legendary thief who suddenly appeared and attacked his neck without any warning. The legendary thief, who was thin and clad in hooded black clothes, failed to succeed in a single blow and refused to fight. He retreated decisively and quickly to escape from the crack in space. At the same time, a person suspected to be a saint in front of Wang Zhifan suddenly rushed towards him and fought with him.
Everything that happened showed that the legendary thief who organized the hunt was indeed evil, but Wang Zhifan didn't care too much.
He kept the Blue Emperor Sword unsheathed and fought with the man in long clothes who rushed towards him. In just a few seconds, he completely suppressed the dull-behaved guy. Then he activated the insight ability of the Thinker Necklace to read this suspected saint. the writer’s thoughts.
"His mind is almost blank. He is not a living person at all, let alone a saint...but he does have the aura of a saint on his body."
As soon as his ability was used, Wang Zhifan came to an accurate conclusion. He looked at the heart of the man in long clothes who was suppressed by him with one hand. Inside, he could sense the source of the saint's aura, which gave him a complex and chaotic feeling. weird crystals.
"Godhead? It doesn't seem right... This thing feels like a defective product that lacks power... and it was forcibly pieced together."
There was no need to take out the crystal from the man's heart. Wang Zhifan's powerful perception was enough to make accurate judgments, and he gradually made some inferences in his heart.
"This man without complicated thinking is just a carrier. The crystal in his chest is artificially created. It is probably a counterfeit godhead."
After checking, he threw aside the useless man in long clothes, turned around and walked towards the location of the original space crack.
Since the space crack had disappeared after the thin thief left, he drew his sword to cut off the closed space and walked out slowly from inside.
Once he returned to the maple forest, he found that the place had changed.
The hazy magic circle shrouded in the sky turned purple-black, releasing a huge pressure from everywhere.
The strong old dwarf archer's bowstring broke in his hand and he tilted his head and fell to the ground, with large amounts of blood flowing out.
The elf wizard is not dead yet, but the situation is not optimistic.
She leaned on her staff and supported a white protective shield that had been shrunk to the extreme. Outside the protective shield was the flashing figure of the legendary thief who was attacking repeatedly. If it lasted just a little longer, she would probably follow in the footsteps of the dwarf archer.
But the appearance of Wang Zhifan obviously broke the current situation. The legendary thief noticed that he had entered the current area, and his figure immediately appeared on his side without any warning and launched a violent attack.
This kind of high-speed sneak attack based on space means is generally difficult to deal with, but as a swordsman who practices the laws of time and space, Wang Zhifan noticed the traces in advance.
There was a flash of sword light, and the legendary thief suddenly screamed. His arm holding the dagger was broken at the wrist, and no matter how hard he used his power, he couldn't stop the bleeding.
The next moment, Wang Zhifan's figure appeared out of thin air behind the thief. Before he could react, he grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
"Insight."
The legendary necklace thinker's insight ability was immediately activated, allowing Wang Zhifan to forcefully invade the brain of this thin man and learn all of his thoughts.
"Sneak into the star realm...collect fragments...many years of research to create the godhead that suits you best...the artificial godhead requires more extraordinary power to complete...set up a trap and find a few legendary professionals...it turns out that this guy is also a legendary wizard. , is a rare double legendary professional..."
After reading the thoughts of the thin hooded man, Wang Zhifan quickly understood the whole story.
To put it simply, this guy did have a conspiracy when he directly invited him to join the so-called God-Being Project on the street. From the very beginning, the legendary professional partners he found were treated as disposable materials, so there was no need to carefully select them.
His plan to become a god is not completely false, but it is not at all what was said in the tavern before. In fact, his plan to become a god began many years ago, using the special route of artificial godhood.
As for hunting the Saint, it was all nothing. This legendary wizard and legendary thief had never thought of hunting the Saint.
On the one hand, this behavior was too dangerous, and on the other hand, when he started the plan, he never expected that a large number of saints would come to the main plane, so the plan was out of the question.
Even the coming incident of the saint gave him a big blow, making him feel that the great plan he had planned for many years had almost turned into a clown. The plan that he persisted to this day still has no hope of real success, not to mention that it is still very difficult. There may be some lucky people who successfully hunt the saints and reach the sky one step ahead of him.
Feeling extremely depressed and almost psychologically distorted, he devised a conspiracy to deceive people, intending to take advantage of the current craze for hunting saints to become gods in the world to reversely hunt legendary professionals as precious materials for him to complete the artificial godhood, thereby directing A plan full of loopholes in becoming a god.
All in all, this guy can be considered a lunatic or lunatic. He does have a very deep research on the Godhead and knows a lot about the saints, but all of this is to serve his unfinished artificial Godhead plan.
He didn't know much about the traces of the real saint. After all, the saint had just arrived. A weak saint must know how to protect himself and would not be exposed at the beginning.
"Why are you not affected by the legendary confinement circle?"
Shrouded in purple-black mysterious power, the elf wizard in platinum robes had no one to attack her frantically, and the consumption of supporting the protective shield was reduced by most. She had the energy to look at Wang Zhifan who was carrying the thin thief and ask questions.
The reason why she and the dead dwarf archer were defeated so quickly just now was mainly because there was a legendary confinement circle here, which severely weakened their strength. It would be difficult for them to deal with the attack of legendary thieves again.
However, Wang Zhifan was also in the magic circle and acted like a normal person, which almost made her think that he and the thief were in the same group.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all, because Wang Zhifan has casually strangled the thief's neck and thrown it to the ground.
"Break it for me!"
Wang Zhifan did not answer the elf wizard's question, but raised the Qingdi Sword and slashed towards the sky. The terrifying sword light destroyed the entire magic circle in the blink of an eye, and the pressure on the elf wizard disappeared instantly.
"We were deceived by him. There is no saint here at all. There is no need to waste time here."
After dealing with the external constraints, Wang Zhifan spoke to the elf wizard, ready to end this expected cheating operation.
But the elf wizard who had seen his terrifying strength did not want to separate from him so quickly, and invited him:
"Your Excellency, the mighty warrior, in order to express my gratitude to you, please come to my mansion for a short rest." (End of Chapter)
