Chapter 552 Conspiracy
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 shrunken hooded man next to him, with just the right amount 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 been hidden for a long time."
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 then 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 arrow 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 teleportation technique of the elf wizard was brewing until it finally failed to be released. The sharp arrow of the dwarf archer 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 had failed again.
"I knew there was no such thing as a coincidence in the world. This is indeed a trap!"
After the strong old dwarf archer fired several shots in succession to no avail, he expressed his opinion with a cold expression.
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 anymore!"
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 stepped back and 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 looked at each other, feeling that Wang Zhifan's move was beyond their expectations, but the two did not jump in, and remained outside cautiously.
At this moment, Wang Zhifan, who passed through the space crack, 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 breath but a dull look.
The man released extraordinary power all over his body, not only resisting the thin black-clothed thieves who flashed around and attacked him continuously, but also making the thieves be repelled more than ten meters away from time to time, occupying the advantage on the scene.
"Come and help me hold him back!"
The legendary thief was very surprised to find that Wang Zhifan finally came in, and quickly retreated to the direction where Wang Zhifan was standing, wanting Wang Zhifan to take over his battle and hold the man in long clothes who was suspected to be the target saint for him.
But Wang Zhifan ignored him. His eyes were focused on the long-clothed man in front of him who had a strong aura but a dull look. Then he suddenly raised the Qingdi Sword in his hand and hit it behind his shoulder. With a clear sound, he used the scabbard to repel the legendary thief who attacked his neck without warning.
The thin legendary thief in black clothes with a hood did not succeed in the first attack and did not want to fight. He decisively retreated and fled from the space crack. At the same time, the existence of the suspected saint in front of Wang Zhifan suddenly rushed towards him and fought with him.
Everything that happened showed that the legendary thief who organized this hunt was indeed a ghost, but Wang Zhifan did not care too much.
He kept the Qingdi Sword unsheathed and fought with the long-clothed man who rushed towards him. In just a few seconds, he completely suppressed this dull guy, and then activated the insight ability of the Thinker Necklace to read the thoughts of this suspected saint.
"His mind is almost blank. He is not a living person at all, let alone a saint... But he does have a saint-like aura."
As soon as he used his ability, Wang Zhifan came to an accurate conclusion. He looked at the chest of the long-clothed man who was suppressed by his single hand. In it, he could sense the source of the saint's aura, a strange crystal that gave him a complex and chaotic feeling.
"Godhead? It seems wrong... This thing has a feeling of a defective product that lacks power... and it is forcibly pieced together."
There is no need to take the crystal out of the man's chest. Wang Zhifan's powerful perception is enough to make an accurate judgment, allowing him to gradually make some inferences in his heart.
"This man without complex thinking is just a carrier. The crystal in his chest is artificially made. It is probably a counterfeit godhead."
After checking, he threw the long-clothed man who had become a waste aside and turned to the location where the space crack was originally located.
Since the space crack had disappeared after the thin thief left, he drew his sword to cut off the closed space and walked out of it slowly.
As soon as he returned to the maple forest, he found that the place had changed.
The hazy magic circle covering the sky turned purple-black, releasing a huge oppressive force everywhere.
The strong old dwarf archer's bowstring broke and he fell to the ground, with a large amount of blood flowing.
The elf wizard was not dead yet, but the situation was not optimistic.
She leaned on her staff to support a white protective shield that was reduced to the extreme. Outside the protective shield was the flickering figure of the legendary thief who attacked repeatedly. If she continued for a while, she would probably follow the footsteps of the dwarf archer.
But Wang Zhifan's appearance obviously broke the current situation. The legendary thief noticed that he had stepped into the current field, and his figure immediately appeared on his side without any signs and launched a fierce attack.
This kind of high-speed sneak attack based on space means is generally difficult to deal with, but Wang Zhifan, as a swordsman who practiced the laws of time and space, noticed the traces in advance.
The knife flashed, and the legendary thief screamed. His arm holding the dagger was broken at the wrist, and no matter how he exerted his power, he couldn't stop the bleeding.
The next moment, Wang Zhifan appeared behind the thief again, and before he could react, he grabbed his neck and lifted him up high.
"Insight."
The insight ability of the legendary necklace thinker was activated immediately, allowing Wang Zhifan to forcefully invade the brain of this thin man and learn all his thoughts.
"Sneak into the star world... collect fragments... research for many years to create the most suitable godhood for yourself... artificial godhood 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, a rare double legendary professional..."
After reading the thoughts of the thin hooded man, Wang Zhifan quickly understood the whole picture of the matter.
In short, this guy directly invited him to join the so-called god-making plan on the street, which was indeed a conspiracy. From the beginning, the legendary professional partners he found were all regarded as disposable materials, so naturally there was no need to carefully select them.
His plan to become a god was not completely false, but it was not what he had said in the tavern before. In fact, he had been planning his plan to become a god many years ago, and he adopted the high-end route of artificial godhood.
As for hunting saints, it was all fictitious. This legendary wizard and legendary thief had never thought of hunting saints.
On the one hand, this behavior was too dangerous, and on the other hand, when he started the plan, he did not expect that a large number of saints would descend on the main plane, so there was no plan to talk about.
Even the coming incident of the saint gave him a big blow, making him feel that the great plan he had worked hard to plan 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 use the current craze for hunting saints to become gods that was rising in the world to reversely hunt legendary professionals as precious materials for him to complete the artificial godhead, thereby directing A plan full of loopholes in becoming a god.
All in all, this guy can be considered a lunatic or a 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?"
Under the purple-black mysterious power, the elf wizard wearing a platinum robe had no one to attack her wildly, so 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 another attack by the legendary thieves.
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 Qing Emperor 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 stay here and waste time."
After dealing with the external constraints, Wang Zhifan spoke to the elf wizard, ready to end this unexpected deception.
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 powerful warrior, in order to express my gratitude to you, please come to my mansion for a short rest." (End of Chapter)
