Chapter 471.

Chapter 471 Uncooked
Saul ran back with John’s head in his hands, he had to meet up with Julie first to figure out what those tree roots were.

Why did the diary remind him that “nothing” can be taken away?
If that’s the case, he can’t get hurt in a fight, he can’t bleed, he can’t even lose his hair, so he’s too bound.

Although it didn’t look like a fatal warning, it could lead to even more trouble.

He hurriedly checked his soul drape again, luckily it was only torn and not missing a piece of his spirit body.

Otherwise he would have to find a way to pick it back up.

The small algae was fine, as long as the main body was strong enough, it didn’t really care about the bit of vine that was lost.

The diary didn’t send out another alert when Saul ordered Koho to leave the split behind and run, apparently only Saul’s main body would be subject to this warning.

The roots at the back didn’t catch up, I don’t know if they were bound by the small algae, or they didn’t dare to come after them.

Saul soon saw Julie who was fighting with the evil spirits.

Surprisingly, Julie also had roots appearing here, only there weren’t as many as on Saul’s side, and there were only two main rhizomes with thin branches spread out above them.

But Julie’s sorcery didn’t seem to be too good at dealing with this kind of plant-based monster.

Seeing that one of her thighs had already been strangled to the point of bruising, the root whorls on top of it still hadn’t broken even though there were traces of being burned.

And on the other side of the water was floating a woman with long hair as thin as paper.

The other party was originally staring at Julie with a malicious look in her eyes, and when Saul arrived, one of her eyeballs instantly rolled upwards to gaze at Saul as well as the human head in his hand.

“Ya ！！！！” The evil spirit let out a scream, and a spiritual shock visible to the naked eye rushed towards Saul.

Saul wasn’t afraid of a simple spiritual attack. Not to mention coming from a newborn Evil Spirit.

Saul just shook his spiritual body and easily dissolved the other party’s attack.

Concerned about the presence of tree roots, Saul didn’t perform Soul Dropping, and only used his Abusive Touch to ruthlessly draw the evil spirit underwater.

However, precisely because of the buffer of water, the evil spirit was not dispersed, and after sinking, it floated back up, looking at Saul with an even more malevolent gaze.

With Saul against the evil spirit, Julie was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and focus on lifting the roots from her body.

While pretending to fight the evil spirit back and forth, Saul paid attention to the fight with Julie’s side, and realized that the root whiskers had no intention of taking away Julie’s soul or limbs.

Saul takes advantage of the fact that the root whiskers are only bothering Julie, and hides in his own soul dangle in a new round of offense.

For spirits that do not exceed his strength, this trick works best and can quickly resolve the fight.

Thus, when Julie finally extracted herself from the root whiskers, Saul had already shouted for her to run away.

“It’s resolved, run away, this kind of root is hard to cut off.”

Saul continued the way he had just gotten out of the way, casting small algae and blocking the root whorls.

And the ghostly claw-like root whiskers here didn’t give poor chase.

After a few turns, there was no movement behind them.

Julie exhaled a breath this time and stood on the surface of the water to look at Saul in mid-air, “You encountered that kind of monster with no idea what kind of roots it is too?”

“Uh-huh.”

“What about the head that got away?” She trailed off.

“Here.” Saul pulled out the vial of evil spirits he had stowed away in his storage, “This one hasn’t turned into an evil spirit yet, it’s probably teetering between evil and spiteful.”

“Ah, even so, you’ve harvested at least one!”

Julie’s pretty face collapsed, originally she had asked Sol to go after the heads with the intention of monopolizing the Evil Spirit herself, and leaving the one that didn’t seem to be at the level of an Evil Spirit to Sol to deal with.

Evil spirits like this kind of newborn that hadn’t been around for long and wasn’t too powerful yet was something that could be captured with a greater degree of certainty.

The reward from the academy for doing the sweeper’s quest was only a small amount, what everyone really wanted was the complete evil spirit.

Whether it was used for experimental research or sold in exchange, it was a very appetizing sorcery material. I didn’t expect those weird tree roots to pop up halfway, hindering their actions, and not only did they fail to catch the evil spirit, but they almost trapped themselves.

Julie concentrated on breaking free from those roots and did not notice how Saul dealt with the evil spirits.

But in her thought, having dealt with the evil spirit so quickly, the other party must have directly dispersed and eliminated the evil spirit.

In the end, her selfishness had allowed Saul to take advantage of the situation and become the only one who had gained something.

Although Julie had heard that Saul had also encountered those strange roots, she didn’t realize that the scale of the number Saul had encountered was several times that of hers.

She only thought that the human heads were better to deal with, so Saul was able to escape from the entanglement of the roots and reap the rewards of the spirits at the same time.

Although at the end of this mission, Julie could still receive magic crystals or other resources from the academy, this was not enough for her.

With a twinkle in her eye, Julie gently licked her lips.

“No, I need to have a harvest tonight as well before I can do that.”

She flew directly into mid-air to be level with Saul, “You’ve kind of got a good haul today, want to celebrate?”

Saul froze, even if he wanted to celebrate, it was none of Julie’s business, why was this guy so enthusiastic?

“To your house, or to my house?”

Julie’s waist twisted lightly, winking at Saul, a breath like grass after rain spread out in the underground waterway.

Saul frowned, not reacting to what Julie was saying for a moment.

Could it be that she was going to split the loot with herself?
“Wow, brother Saul, finally another beauty is interested in you! It doesn’t matter who it is, go push her down! If you’re in a hurry, you can do it here too, I promise to cover my eyes and not peek!”

Penny’s chirping voice rang in his ears, finally making Saul react to the implication in Julie’s words just now.

No, it was basically as good as explicit.

Saul was a little speechless.

“Brother Saul, are you embarrassed? Let me help you. Little Algae, get on! Bind this woman like those tree roots just now!”

Feeling some movement in the back of his neck, Saul hastily chided in his mind, “Komoro, don’t listen to Penny’s nonsense.”

He scolded the Nightmare Butterfly again, “Penny, don’t teach little algae a lesson!”

Because he was teaching the two pets a lesson, Saul never replied back.

Julie was a little amused, thinking that Saul was really still a little boy and was already too nervous to speak.

Who knows, the next second an icy reply spat out from Saul’s mouth.

“No date.”

This time it was Julie who reacted for two seconds before realizing that Saul was rejecting him.

“Why?” Julie wondered.

Although most of the wizards were eccentric, because of their supreme status and the lack of constraints, most of them wouldn’t refuse to enjoy themselves, especially among the wizards, it wasn’t something that could be compared to a maid or a noble lady.

Saul shrugged his shoulders, “Actually, I also have a little bit of persecution paranoia, especially fear of life.”

After saying that, Saul left Julie behind and continued walking back.

Julie was left where she was, her chest shaking with anger, only after a few seconds she suddenly laughed again.

“Although this Saul is majoring in dark attribute sorcery, there is no aura of corruption all over his body, his body should be fine …… Could it be the first time so he’s shy?”

She pursed her lips and smiled, lifting her long hair with one hand, her white curls glistening equally against her pearlescent colored skin.

“Not familiar? Then, if you see each other more often, you’ll be familiar with each other~”
