Chapter 388 Guarding and Stealing
More than ten people surrounded the big tree and immediately used the skill of joint blockade, as if to block the whole space.
"Well, people of the Alliance Empire, show up quickly. Now you have no way to escape!" Among more than a dozen, a middle-aged man in a white robe stood up.
The person wears a white robe and a high golden crown on his head, which is a symbol of noble status. It seems that this group of people who came are not ordinary guards of the Holy Elegance Empire.
It is naturally impossible for Xia Jiang and others to appear like this, but just watch secretly, waiting for these people to return without success.
Sure enough, as the voice of the white-robed man fell, several people in charge of searching for breath soon found that there was no smell of outsiders in the tree, and even a double fruit was lost on the tree.
"Report to the elders, there is no trace of the big tree being picked, and there is no trace of them in it!"
"What?" When the elder in the white robe heard this, he immediately felt it with the power of the strong boundary, and sure enough, he found that there was no fluctuation in it.
The white-robed elder went to the big tree, checked the fruits in person, and found that none of them had been picked.
Sean and Lila, who were in the dark, had to be shocked at this time. The unique thing of double cultivation fruit should be the most common existence of the Shengya Empire, and the white-robed elder could not find the truth!
It was Xia Jiang. In the face of the investigation of the white-robed elder, he was unmoved at all. He seemed to have absolute confidence. But it turns out that he does have confident capital.
When it was found that there were no thefts in the tree, the white-robed elder immediately swept around with caution: "You guys, search within ten miles nearby immediately. Don't let go of any clues. As soon as there is news, come to the shore to report!"
Several people received the order and immediately nodded and agreed to disperse.
When the others left, the old man glanced around again with an unusual look.
Xia Jiang secretly investigated and found that the old man's cultivation was not low, and he actually had the level of a quasi-king. Moreover, looking at the fluctuations scattered all over his body, I'm afraid that there are many magic weapons he has mastered.
Sean on one side keeps investigating Xia Jiang's reaction. He is secretly ready to take action at any time.
And Lila, on one side, did not hesitate at all, and her spiritual aura surged secretly. It seemed that once she started, even if the Shengya Empire came to the army of masters, she would face it indifferently.
However, it is obvious that Xia Jiang is unwilling to fight with the people of the Shengya Empire here. For him, it is best not to fight.
However, just as the three were thinking about each other, at this time, they saw the white-robed elder suddenly move to the tree.
shua shua......
A set of transparent cloth suddenly scattered from the old man in white robe, and it spread out at once, as if it had created a canopy, almost covering the whole tree...
"What are you doing?" Sean in the dark couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this.
Xia Jiang also looked at him silently. Suddenly, he felt bad. He felt that the energy fruits he had released as a disguise were being collected into a closed space by the other party.
"Is this..." Xia Jiang was very surprised to see this and thought that as long as the other party saw it, he would leave. He didn't expect that they would come to collect the fruit from the tree.
But Xia Jiang was thinking so, and listened to the white-robed elder suddenly glance somewhere, which looked extremely strange. Then when less than half of the fruit was collected in the tree, he jumped at a high speed and shot in the direction of coming!
The three people in the dark couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene, and then saw several figures coming from each other on the other side of the unwilling.
These people are not others, but a small team they scattered out.
"Well, what is that!" One person in the team immediately found the big tree in front of him.
When several people heard it, they immediately glanced over.
Looking at his team and looking at the white-robed elders who left quickly, Xia Jiang couldn't help but be a little stunned - the white-robed elders were actually afraid of outsiders like them? But obviously this is not the case. If the other party is afraid, it is impossible to pursue him so confidently at the beginning.
Thinking more carefully, Xia Jiang suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the white-robed elder! I'm afraid he didn't collect those fruits just now. He is the thief!?
Thinking this way, Xia Jiang suddenly woke up and swept away in the direction of leaving, and suddenly understood more and more.
"Xia Jiang, have you found anything?" Sean looked at Xia Jiang's reaction and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Now you can look for it as much as you want, just try to avoid the search teams just now!" Xia Jiang was immediately confident.
"Well, what do you mean?" Sean didn't understand anymore.
"It's very simple. I'm afraid that the elder in white robe is really here to steal the fruit. He guards and steals himself!"
Shaun suddenly became clear when Xia Jiang explained this.
Xia Jiang also immediately came forward and asked several people to hide immediately to spread the news that there were guards of the Shengya Empire patrolling around.
After receiving the order, these people immediately stopped searching around.
"But this big tree..." A team member obviously found that the big tree was different.
Xia Jiang did not want to explain too much. Even if all the energy on the tree was recovered, the whole tree was simply a gram of dead tree, withered branches and leaves, and almost half of the fruit.
When the team left, Xia Jiang fully showed his body.
"Now you can collect as much as you want, and you don't have to reserve..." Xia Jiang immediately announced.
After saying that, Xia Jiang immediately flew somewhere.
In this huge jungle, Xia Jiang's figure drifted like a ghost and could not be seen clearly with the naked eye, so that it was almost difficult for both of them to keep up.
After a while, when Xia Jiang stopped, the two also stopped, and suddenly saw another larger fruit tree appear.
"These islands are really precious. There are double-cultivation fruit trees everywhere!" Sean couldn't help sighing.
After sighing, the three people almost competed for speed and began to search the whole tree. Sure enough, none of them were let go, like the wind and clouds.
In contrast, only two teams have been found by other teams at this moment, and one of them is good. They actually found fruit trees about the same size as theirs, which are being collected at a high speed at this moment.
Several splits of Xia Jiang had already dispersed. At this moment, he came to this place. He immediately began to explore a certain area around him, and then reminded several people that the Shengya Empire Patrol was already searching everywhere.
Several people had no doubt about Xia Jiang's words and almost immediately began to enter their underground space.
Entering the underground space, they began to wait for the opportunity secretly.
It was also at this time that a patrol came quickly.
"Is it here?" One person arrived at a high speed and immediately explored this place.
But he has arrived late, and everything here has been restored by Xia Jiang. At this moment, he is quietly staring at them in the dark.
"Huh? Why is there no movement?" When the man came here, he immediately found that everything was safe and sound, and that no one was stealing the fruit.
One of the team immediately said, "I still feel that this is wrong, because the defense seal of this tree has been broken, and there must be someone nearby!"
"I don't think so. We searched carefully just now and didn't find any trace at all. Maybe it's just some beasts." With that, he added, "Haven't you heard of the ancient wild beasts?"
As soon as several people heard this person say this, they suddenly looked very nervous and glanced around.
"No way, how can there be any ancient barren beasts on these islands?" The man on the other side was obviously a little scared.
Several people hiding in the dark are a little stunned. Obviously, they have not heard of any ancient wild beasts.
Several people were also scared by this topic. When they found that the tree was safe and sound, they immediately turned around and went to the shore.
The white-robed elder is waiting for them to go back to report.
That's right. Xia Jiang deeply remembered that the white robe elder explained so, so he was extremely sure that the white robe elder was guarding and stealing!
When a few people left, Sean couldn't help but wonder and asked about the ancient wild beasts.
But obviously, Sean asked Xia Jiang about the wrong person, and Xia Jiang didn't know at all, but in Xia Jiang's opinion, this matter must be trivial.
According to the rumors he had about the ancient treasure in the Mary Empire, there must be many things on this continent that the mainlanders themselves do not know, and this so-called ancient wild beast must be one of them, perhaps related to the remains of the ancient treasure.
Xia Jiang shook his head at this moment and motioned, "I don't think about this problem for the time being. It's important for us to collect fruits quickly!" Xia Jiang glanced at the big tree.
Several people also reacted quickly and immediately repeated their old skills and rushed to the tree with all their strength.
Because the whole team shared the magic weapon with Xia Jiang, he was able to grasp the search information that everyone got in time. Soon after, he found that all the patrol members had returned to the shore of the island and played with the white-robed elder. Immediately, he announced that everyone could start to act immediately, and except for the fruit trees that had not yet been unsealed, everything else could be collected.
After receiving Xia Jiang's instructions, all the people on the whole island began to take action.
It was also in Xia Jiang's induction that more than ten people who landed on the island turned around and left without finding a suspicious thief. In fact, it is not surprising to think about it a little. If he continues to stay here at this moment, once he is found that the big tree lacks almost ordinary fruit, he will definitely question him. Although, those fruits are just some temporary energy.
"... By the way, Xia Jiang, the white-robed elder last night, once he returned to the Shengya Empire, I'm afraid he will immediately find that those fruits are fake, and then he will still know that we exist on the island!"
After a few hours of picking, Sean, who was full of a whole super storage ring, couldn't help but think of what happened last night.
"So, we need to clean up this island before dark today, complete all the collection within three days, and then return immediately!" Xia Jiang immediately turned his eyes to another island.
