Chapter 375 The Worried Doppelgangers
"There is a special connection between us and our original body. No matter how far apart we are, we can sense each other's presence. If this connection is severed, to put it simply, either the original body has encountered an enemy that is far more powerful than itself and the connection has been forcibly severed, or it has come into contact with a magical area or entered a region that can isolate all energy fluctuations."
Xiao Ye No. 3 paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and then said, "I prefer the latter. The main body's reconnaissance ability is top-notch. Logically speaking, it wouldn't randomly run into enemies it can't handle, nor would it swagger onto the road. After all, this is the Sun Moon Empire. The best proof is that neither I nor the other clones were recalled."
Ju Zi nodded. Ye Nanxiao's ability to survive was indeed outstanding, especially his skill in playing dumb to take advantage of others and deliberately disguising himself.
"The latter situation is when you enter a special area. The characteristic of this area is that it is cut off from the flow of energy to the outside world. The energy within it can circulate on its own, or it is subject to some kind of restriction, which prevents the energy from flowing out."
"These are all just our guesses. It's also possible that the main body was targeted and suddenly attacked," said Xiao Ye No. 2, recalling the group of red-feathered tenons that attacked it.
"Xu Tianran!"
Ju Zi was startled. She was well aware of Xu Tianran's change in attitude toward Ye Nanxiao. However, the Luanfeng Douluo, whom Xu Tianran had chosen to target Ye Nanxiao, had been following her around recently, assisting her in training the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Team. During this time, he had never left Ju Zi's sight.
"No! It's also possible that Xu Tianran secretly sent out his own forces. His own forces couldn't get information about Ye Nanxiao's actions, but Xu Tianran could. He has too many trump cards." Ju Zi suddenly stood up, her face grim and uncertain.
Having successfully secured the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group and the submission of the Luanfeng Douluo, Ju Zi became a little arrogant, thinking that the power she held was enough to place her among the top ranks of Mingdu. She overlooked the fact that Xu Tianran had already extended his reach throughout the Sun Moon Empire.
"So, within the Sun Moon Empire, are there any peculiar areas that can isolate energy flow and trap people?" Little Leaf No. 3 asked.
The combination of isolating energy and trapping people made Orange almost instantly think of a place in Xishan that was designated as a forbidden area by the Sun and Moon military.
"West Mountain is a dead zone!"
Ju Zi clenched her fists tightly. She had seen information about the "Dead Land" in the library of the Sun and Moon Palace. If one accidentally stumbled into the "Dead Land" in the Western Mountains, if one was lucky, one might be trapped for a while and be able to get out. If one was unlucky, one's bones and soul would be imprisoned in the "Dead Land" for eternity, never to be reborn!
The time one is trapped could be a few days, a few years, or even the next second, depending entirely on one's luck.
But Orange clearly remembers that among the few people who walked out of the "dead zone", the shortest time they were trapped was seven years.
Seven years is enough time for many things to happen: enough time for soul tools to be upgraded, enough time for geniuses to become ordinary people, and enough time for a country to stage a coup.
But what if Ye Nanxiao is unlucky?
Orange dared not think any further.
She had calculated the distance between Shrek Academy and Mingdu, and also calculated how long it would take to cross that distance.
During the time Ye Nanxiao returned to Shrek Academy, she knew all too well that without that rascal fox causing trouble by her side, she was consumed by boundless loneliness and a heart-wrenching fire of revenge that overwhelmed her, numbly moving towards her goal of vengeance.
"I will use my power if Ye Nanxiao is truly dragged into a 'death situation'."
Orange lowered her eyes, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug deep into her flesh, and she silently added a sentence to her mind.
"Then wait for me there, I'll come and keep you company."
The office door was pushed open and closed automatically.
Orange didn't say what was on her mind; she was afraid that what she said would become reality.
The two clones stared at the automatically closing door, and a moment of silence fell over them.
After a while, Xiao Ye No. 2 spoke up, "Perhaps you shouldn't have forced Ju Zi to express her feelings. Whether her main body is in danger or not is none of her business."
Xiao Ye No. 3 smiled, offered no further explanation, and silently took out an encrypted communication soul tool and dialed the number.
Three breaths later, a lazy yet familiar voice rang out.
"Moshi moshi, moonlight before my bed?"
"Two pairs of shoes on the ground."
"Second or third? Or fourth?" A lazy air emanated from Xiao Ye No. 1's voice.
"It's me, Number One. You probably can't sense my true form anymore, right?" Little Leaf Number Three said.
"Hmm, I can't sense anything. Are you the only one here?" Xiao Ye No. 1 asked.
"No, Number Two is here with me too. We're in the Nine Yuan Nine Plan points. As for the main body, there should only be Number Four left," said Xiao Ye Number Three.
Next, Xiao Ye No. 3 recounted the whole story of how Ju Zi learned about this matter.
After listening, Xiao Ye No. 1 looked at the encrypted communication soul tool in his hand with a puzzled expression, shook it, and patted it.
"Stop filming, you heard me right," Xiao Ye No. 2 said calmly.
"It seems the younger brothers have finally grown up and know how to think about their original form!" Little Leaf No. 1 was so moved that he wanted to bite a handkerchief.
"Instead of continuing this tacit, ambiguous relationship, why not be more direct and passionate? Anyway, do you have any ideas on how to get the main body out of that wretched place quickly?" Little Leaf No. 3 asked.
"The simplest way to escape that wretched place is to tell the truth, but my true form might be severely punished. However, the managers of that wretched place are those guys in the heavens, but since they are in the heavens, they won't dare to go too far. The Frozen Flower is an item approved by a first-level god. As for my true form, I might be imprisoned for a while. But there are still ways, although they are somewhat risky." Little Leaf No. 1 put away his lazy expression and said seriously.
"What method?" the two clones asked simultaneously from the other end of the encrypted communication soul guide.
"Since that wretched place is called the Valley of Love and Destiny, the best way to escape is to pass the test of Cupid, which is to answer the question of mutual affection!" said Xiao Ye No. 1.
"The main body won't allow the rabbit and the phoenix to come here." Little Leaf No. 2 frowned.
"Wait!" Xiao Ye No. 3 said.
Looking at the office door, Xiao Ye No. 3 said thoughtfully, "Perhaps Fruit Girl could do it."
Ye Fox himself caused all his clones a lot of worry.
After experiencing what felt like the umpteenth time extreme pain, and then being repaired by a warm current, Ye Nanxiao regained a brief moment of clarity.
"This is the 137th time." Ye Nanxiao silently counted how many times he had experienced this pain.
A warm current quickly spread throughout Ye Nanxiao's body, and a series of memories reappeared in his mind.
"Your soul is unstable, so for a short time, it will reside in this grass." Gu Yuena tossed a Spirit Blossom Grass in front of Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao looked at the Spirit Blossom Grass floating in front of him, its leaves bearing mysterious patterns. For some reason, those mysterious patterns held a strong attraction for Ye Nanxiao.
Could it be because I'm currently in a state of soul fragmentation?
The moment Ye Nanxiao came into contact with the grass leaves, he was sucked into the Spirit Blossom Grass and transformed into a cloud of mist around the grass leaves.
"Ah, that feels so good!" Ye Nanxiao couldn't help but put his hands behind his head and stretch.
He hadn't felt so comfortable since he fell here.
The Spirit Blossom Grass, with only two leaves and a swirling flower center, mimicked the action Ye Nanxiao was about to take.
"This magical herb truly lives up to its name!"
Ye Nanxiao moved his arm, and the Blooming Spirit Grass moved its leaves accordingly. It took Ye Nanxiao a long time to come up with a way to praise it.
"I gave you this immortal herb to stabilize your soul, not for you to play with," Gu Yuena said calmly, flicking her finger lightly at Ye Nanxiao, who was doing stretching exercises.
A gentle breeze swept by, causing the Blooming Spirit Grassland to swirl.
"No! That's wrong!" Ye Nanxiao decisively admitted defeat.
"Di Tian, take the strategist and execute the plan!" Gu Yuena ordered.
"I will not fail you, my lord!" Di Tian knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
Then Di Tian grabbed the Spirit Blossom Grass, touched his armor and found there were no pockets, so he put the Spirit Blossom Grass on his shoulder.
"Let's go, strategist, don't let the lord down!" Di Tian said.
Ye Nanxiao, who is currently advising Gu Yuena, has dubbed himself her strategist.
The dragon and the grass traversed several miles in a single step, heading towards a mountain range.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Di Tian brought Ye Nanxiao to the foot of this mountain range.
The mountainside has little vegetation; instead, it is covered with claw marks, making the entire mountain range riddled with holes.
"This is the first stop, the territory of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. It seems you chose an easy difficulty for me, strategist." Di Tian glanced at the claw marks on the mountainside, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
The largest claw mark on it is only a few hundred meters long, less than one percent of the length of its own dragon god claw!
"General, please don't be careless. Although you are very strong, we must control the spread of your aura and not alert you," Ye Nanxiao said, shaking the blades of grass.
According to records, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a soul beast second only to the Dragon Clan, and its talent, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw, is incredibly powerful.
Their first stop was the king of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears, the Bear King among the Ten Ferocious Beasts.
Di Tian raised his hand, and a small black lightning bolt shot out from his fingertip, instantly piercing through the mountain.
After finishing, Di Tian stood there with his arms crossed, waiting.
A moment later, a "small mountain" appeared in front of Di Tian and Ye Nanxiao.
His terrifying muscles bulged, and his fur reflected a dark golden light. His arms hung down past his knees, and his dark golden, almost black claws radiated an extremely powerful force.
Sensing that his territory had been invaded, the hot-tempered Bear King promptly showed himself.
"Does the strategist have a plan to tame them?" Di Tian asked.
"This guy's head is too hard, hit him in the face!" Ye Nanxiao said, waving a blade of grass and pointing at Xiong Jun's face.
