Chapter 762 - 357: Fang Mu’s Dao Protector!_2
"The same for Elder Shu."
"You’ll be by my side for a long time, Elder Shu. The stronger you are, the better you can protect me!"
These words warmed Shu Liangjun’s heart.
As his life was coming to an end, Shu Liangjun realized he was all alone.
Golden Toad Manor was a power serving and earning money for him, and could not form a bond with him.
An idea formed in Shu Liangjun’s heart. Without holding back, he turned to Fang Mu and asked,
"Ah Mu, I don’t know if your master has found you a Dao protector?"
"If not, let me be your Dao protector!"
"You don’t have to rush to answer me. You can ask your master what he thinks."
"If your master agrees, I am willing to sign a Dao protector contract with you, accompanying you to become a Beast Master with a sequential Guardian Beast."
Fang Mu was extraordinarily moved by Shu Liangjun’s proposal.
He was well aware of what having a Dao protector meant.
Only the children of truly powerful forces would have such thing as a Dao protector.
The establishment of a bond with a Dao protector involves a powerful individual swearing upon a spiritual material called Crimson Soul Incense through his soul.
The Crimson Soul Incense will absorb a portion of the True Spirit from the soul of this powerful individual and then transfer this True Spirit to the body of the person being protected.
It can spur the growth of the guardian’s spiritual power and enhance his ability to comprehend mysterious patterns.
True Spirit is extremely important to a powerful individual, so few would willingly become the Dao protector of a young generation.
Simply put, a Dao protector is not much different from a half-mentor.
For an outsider like Fang Mu, who has been posing as a certain persona, having an experienced person guiding him all the time is essential.
If Shu Liangjun becomes his Dao protector, it would undoubtedly be much easier for Fang Mu to consult him in the future.
Fang Mu solemnly bowed to Shu Liangjun.
"Elder Shu, I look forward to you being my Dao protector!"
"As soon as I return to the Dragon Rising Federation, I’ll ask my master about it. I believe he wouldn’t refuse something like this!"
Upon hearing Fang Mu’s words, Shu Liangjun burst into laughter.
"I’ve been a wanderer for so many years, it seems I’ll finally have a home to return to!"
Shui Miao was somewhat surprised by Shu Liangjun’s decision, but considering Shu Liangjun’s attitude towards Fang Mu and Fang Mu’s rescue of Shu Liangjun, it all seemed reasonable.
"Let’s leave the ruins too."
"Even if there were any resources left in the ruins, they would’ve already been taken by the human forces and Beast Controlling forces."
"Once the legacy of the ruins is obtained, the ruins will automatically close within an hour."
"Leaving early will save us from baseless speculation by those forces and prevent unnecessary trouble."
"The Beast Controlling forces are unwilling to confront us directly, but they won’t stop using us as scapegoats just because we helped them."
As the Pavilion Master of the Twelve Pavilion, Shui Miao knew a lot about the methods of human and Beast Controlling forces.
He was clear about the true nature of the Beast Controlling forces.
Many times, the fight among major forces is even fiercer after the exploration of the ruins than before.
Although the transportation into the ruins was random, there was a central altar to transport out.
On the way to the central altar, Fang Mu’s team ran into people from the Poisonous Gu Villa and True Wisdom Court.
The two groups had already interacted.
Upon seeing Fang Mu and his group, Gu Lian and Wang Xu immediately came forward.
"We’ve been searching for you while gathering supplies, Yan Luo, but we couldn’t find any sign of you for a while!" exclaimed Fang Mu somewhat angrily.
"Ah, the legacy of the ruins has already been grabbed by the Beast Controlling forces!"
"This ruins exploration was rather pointless. You guys didn’t run into us before, so just keep whatever you gained after entering the ruins."
Having said that, Fang Mu walked to the side of the altar.
Shui Miao went through the altar first, followed by Fang Mu, and Shu Liangjun last.
Fang Mu’s words left Gu Lian and Wang Xu exchanging glances.
The Beast Controlling forces got the legacy so quickly?
How long had they been in the relic? To think that the Beast Controlling Force would move so quickly!
Since Fang Mu had already received a message, it was likely that he had come across those from the Beast Controlling Force.
That is to say, this relic would close within one hour.
Both Gu Lian and Wang Xu had the idea of leading a team to explore the relic again.
But when they thought of how all the major forces had previously scoured the area for resources, effectively clearing out all obtainable resources...
Continuing to search would be difficult to yield any results, and they could easily be plundered by the Beast Controlling Force led by the Yin Yang Leopard.
With this in mind, both Wang Xu and Gu Lian sighed, taking their teams and leaving the relic.
Now, using this time, Fang Mu prepared to deal with Mr. Zi.
Liu Xi possessed a member of the Yin Qingzhi force, and also snuck into the relic.
But he couldn’t help Fang Mu inside the relic.
After leaving the inheritance site, Fang Mu notified Liu Xi, asking him to leave the relic early and return to the ancient battlefield.
Having lost Liu Xi’s control, the Void Witch Mengsha could only be remotely controlled by him.
She was severely wounded twice by Mr. Zi when the opportunity arose.
Furthermore, Meng Sha, under the curse of Satan’s curse moth, became very weak.
Liu Xi’s control over Meng Sha became slower, and Meng Sha was in dire need of treatment at the moment!
Otherwise, this puppet called Meng Sha would be completely destroyed.
These escapes and killings allowed Liu Xi to better grasp Mr. Zi’s strength and roughly understand the capabilities of his ghost device.
Knowing that Fang Mu had already come out, Liu Xi made a move with Meng Sha.
It could be said that Meng Sha was the best way to lure out Mr. Zi, and Fang Mu also let out both Qin Shao and Jin Ya from the Mechanism Fortress.
Qin Shao had always been on standby in the Mechanism Fortress.
He thought he could play his part soon, and never thought that Fang Mu actually didn’t need him after all.
This made Qin Shao somewhat disappointed.
But Qin Shao didn’t let this disappointment show on his face.
Just then, Qin Sha only heard Fang Mu speak very seriously.
"Aunt Shao, thank you for your assistance in this exploration of the ancient battlefield!"
"I will strive for two more positions to prolong life for you at my master’s side."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shao was overjoyed.
There’s no emotional foundation between Qin Shao and Fang Mu.
As the real helmsman of the ancient relics tribe, Qin Shao had always seen feelings as unimportant.
Except the members of their own tribe, outsiders are always less important than the interests of the tribe.
If not for this, their tribe would not have been passed down to this day.

But in the end, they fell apart due to conflicting interests, splitting into factions and embroiling themselves in a long struggle.
Qin Shao, having seen so many of these situations over the long years...
For her part in helping Fang Mu, Qin Shao thought one of the slots for prolonged life would be adequate payment.
But Fang Mu raised the number of slots from one to two.
Qin Shao couldn’t possibly decline the slots provided by Fang Mu.
Because this opportunity is too precious for the tribe, but Qin Shao won’t take it for free.
What if she’s seen as taking advantage of Fang Mu by the Grandmasters of the Infinite Tower? That wouldn’t be good!
Qin Shao did not intend to lose out.
If possible, Qin Shao would like to engage in more cooperation with Fang Mu!
When she thought of the water system half-elf that Fang Mu had contracted, she bit her teeth and took out a wooden bottle tightly corked.
Bottles are a type of container for storing liquids or solids, and in general, bottles made from wood are rare.
Moreover, the wood that this bottle was made from was the legendary Pure Tone Sandalwood.
Qin Shao handed this bottle to Fang Mu, smiling as she spoke.
"Ah Mu, the silver stage water system half-elf you’ve contracted possesses excellent talents."
"If equipped with the Heart of the Elf contained in this bottle, it won’t be long before it will climb higher!"
