Chapter 697 (2/2)

Therefore.

Lin Jing directly transmitted to the Wood Spirit:

“Come here, let me check your body.”

Upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, the Wood Spirit immediately became nervous and involuntarily stepped back two paces.

This action made Lin Jing even more suspicious.

Earlier, when Lin Jing had injected the Five-Colored Aurora into the body of the Wood Spirit,

he had discovered something was off within the Wood Spirit’s body.

Inside it was a presence akin to the True Wood Spirit.

If Lin Jing had not encountered the Metallic Attribute of the Five Elements True Spirit, he might have overlooked it, but having been in contact with the Metallic Attribute True Spirits, he could sense the presence of a similar True Spirit.

Now.

This action further confirmed his suspicion.

This Wood Spirit had a significant connection to the True Wood Spirit.

Seeing the Wood Spirit’s reluctance to come forward, Lin Jing transmitted directly:

“I have already detected the True Spirit within you; I just want to check, not harm you.”

Hearing Lin Jing say it directly, the Wood Spirit trembled and then, with a voice nearly crying, transmitted:

“Please, don’t kill me…”

“The True Spirit has already fused with me and cannot be extracted; even if you kill me, the True Spirit will also dissipate with me.”

“Please…”

Speechless, Lin Jing looked at the Wood Spirit; it appeared very frightened.

He wondered where it had found the courage to attack him initially.

Lin Jing continued, transmitting:

“I’ll see what exactly is inside you; if it’s really as you say, as long as you cooperate with my inspection, I won’t kill you.”

“But if you do not cooperate…”

Lin Jing looked at the Wood Spirit, his mind stirred, and the Five Elements Power inside the Wood Spirit’s body immediately became agitated.

The Wood Spirit shuddered in fear, looking at Lin Jing and nodding repeatedly.

“I…

I will cooperate.”

Having said that, the Wood Spirit reluctantly approached Lin Jing.

Lin Jing then spoke, asking the Wood Spirit:

“What is your name?”

“Ba…

Baba MùlÇŽng…”

“Baba MùlÇŽng, good!”

Lin Jing nodded.

Just as he was about to continue questioning, he sensed several ripples of energy approaching from afar.

Upon sensing these energy ripples, Lin Jing turned his head toward the direction from which the energy was coming.

Upon perceiving the energy, even Baba MùlÇŽng hurriedly raised his head, following Lin Jing’s gaze to look.

However, upon sensing the energy, Baba Mùlǎng appeared exceptionally excited.

Lin Jing looked toward the front and quickly saw several figures appear.

These figures were also Wood Spirits.

Very similar to Baba Mùlǎng.

All wore crowns made of woven leaves and cloaks made of leaves as well, even holding staffs resembling tree roots in their hands.

The Wood Spirits moved quickly; within moments, they had reached Lin Jing.

Lin Jing looked at the Wood Spirits ahead, his brow slightly furrowed.

At that moment, the oldest-looking Wood Spirit among them took a step forward.
