Apart from the similarity in appearance, she could be regarded as two different living beings.
Moreover, according to ancient legends, the dead souls would always return to the mortal world to take away their loved ones!
If that was the case, this Betty had done something similar by accident.
However, if what Betty said was true, then why did these extraordinary people come here?
Because of him?
From the current situation, the possibility was very small.
After all, the only possibility of him leaking out was also eliminated.
And at this moment, his gaze inadvertently glanced at the little girl who was sitting on the treetop with an uneasy expression. Lin Meng's eyes suddenly lit up.
Since he couldn't guess, couldn't he ask?
Thinking of this, Lin Meng's branches shook, and a very rich drop of life essence seeped out.
"Betty, eat it."
Lin Meng sent this drop of life essence in front of the young girl.
"Master, this..."
Looking at this very precious green liquid, Betty didn't want to eat it at first but she was a little afraid.
After all, her master was so cold just now.
"I need you to become stronger and help me do something. Don't let me down, okay?"
Hearing Lin Meng's helpless voice, Betty suddenly shook and nodded repeatedly. "Okay, master. I won't let you down."
After saying that, Lin Meng had already sent the green liquid along with the branches into Betty's mouth.
Gulp.
As if swallowing, Betty's body suddenly shook.
Boom...
Along with the slight vibration of the air, an inexplicable force had already circulated.
At the same time, Betty's body also expanded with the wind. In the blink of an eye, she had grown to a height of 1.6 meters and she seemed to have returned to her previous life.
"Master..."
There was another soft call but it carried a hint of coldness that did not belong to the human world.
Race: Mutated Soul.
Level: Entry Level 5.
Talent: Immune to physical attacks.
Ability: Spiritual Enhancement—one of the few spiritual abilities. It was enough to allow her to stay for a short period of time after she died. At the same time, it could interfere with reality to a certain extent.
Telepathy—there was a similar flower somewhere that was connected to her telepathically.
"Entry level 5? It's two levels higher than before."
Lin Meng muttered in his heart. His emotions were also somewhat complicated.
As he had guessed, even if he gave Betty the life essence the second time, there would not be much of a breakthrough.
If he had guessed correctly, advancing to level 5 should not be a small threshold.
Unless he spared no expense to provide life essence, it would be difficult for him to help others breakthrough.
However, on second thought, Lin Meng could understand.
His life essence was already very heaven-defying.
It could accelerate the evolution of all living things.
If there were really no restrictions, he would first have to consider his life and death.
After all, covetous dreams had always been eyeing him.
And now, it was only effective for low-level breakthroughs, which would make him a little safer.
At this moment, in the village at the foot of the mountain.
There were green tiles, mud houses, and a corner of the roof that still had some water leaking.
Drip, drip...
One after another, the water dripped onto the ground, creating a large puddle of water.
But at this moment, no one cared.
"Old Man, don't be anxious. Speak slowly."
Sitting on a wooden chair, Jack looked at the old man whose hair had turned quite white not far away. His body was very straight.
Sigh...
He sighed again and wiped the corner of his moist eyes, the village chief said bitterly, "My two poor granddaughters were attacked by a mutated green snake when they returned home in the middle of the night. One died from poison. She was just buried before you came and the other is still unconscious."
As he said this, the village chief could not help but choke up.
"This..."
Jack opened his mouth but he could not say anything.
If you asked him to fight with the mutated beast, he would not even frown.
But if you asked him to comfort an old man who had lost a loved one, it would be a little difficult.
And the thirty-something-year-old leader who followed Jack into the village chief's house had some experience after all.
He stood up and walked to the old man. He patted the old man's shoulder and comforted him, "Old Man, I'm sorry for your loss."
As he spoke, the leader seemed to have thought of something and asked again, "Kill that beast. If we don't kill it, we'll kill it tonight and make a toast to your granddaughter."
"Kill it, kill it..."
Nodding his head heavily, the old man's wrinkled face finally squeezed out a smile. "The people of our village beat that snake to death with a random stick."
As he spoke, the old man seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly added, "But it was precisely because I swallowed that green snake's gall that my other granddaughter has yet to wake up."
"Gall?"
Frowning, Jack was somewhat puzzled.
"In the depths of the mountain, there is a saying: 'If you are bitten by a poisonous snake, take out its gall. It can be used to detoxify.'"
As if he knew a little, the leader with a face full of stubble tilted his head and explained.
However, the twitch at the corner of his mouth still revealed some of his thoughts.
The snake gallbladder detoxified. No one knew which b*stard came up with this idea.
Even the snake itself could be poisoned to death by its poison.
How could its snake gallbladder detoxify the poison?
If that was really the case, after a person was bitten by a poisonous snake, he would risk his life to kill the snake and eat its gallbladder. The poisonous snakes would probably have been extinct long ago.
At this moment, as if he had seen through the group leader's thoughts, the old man sobbed, "We also know that this is a folk prescription but, at that time, my granddaughter only had one breath and her entire body was still covered in green..."
Before he could finish speaking, as if he had thought of something, the old man sobbed uncontrollably.
"Haaa..."
They looked at each other, and the group leader and Jack also sighed.
At that time, no matter who it was, they would grab hold of this last life-saving straw
This was human nature and also within reason.
"Old Man, why don't you bring me to take a look?"
At this time, looking at the sobbing old man, Jack also probed.
"This..."
Looking at Jack's very young face, the village chief was a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, Old Man, this guy is really powerful."
As he spoke, the regiment commander with a face full of stubble said impolitely, "Don't look at him just because he's young. You should know that he's my superior. If I wasn't a few years older and he called me big brother, I would still have to greet him with a military salute at this time."
"Uh..."
The corners of his eyes twitched and the wrinkles between the old man's brows squeezed together.
However, after a moment, he took a deep look at Jack, who exuded a sense of righteousness. The old man also turned around and picked up his cigarette. He sighed and said, "You guys, it's not easy for you to stay with us for a night and we still have to trouble you... haa..."
As he spoke, the old man lifted his feet and walked toward the inner room.
The inner room was not big and it was estimated to be more than twenty square meters.
In addition to a table and a chair, there was also a large bed.
And on the bed, there a young girl laid down.
She was not old, maybe about 17 or 18 years old.
She looked quite clean and she was the kind of girl who one could bear to look at. The more he looked at her, the better she looked.
However, her faintly pale face revealed a pained expression, as if she was enduring something.
"This is my poor granddaughter. She has been unconscious for three days."
As he spoke, the old man looked at the regiment commander and Jack who were walking over and pleaded, "Officers, if you have any solutions, please help me. Even if you have to compensate me with this old bone, I will accept it."
"Don't, don't..."
Holding onto the old man, the regiment commander tactfully pulled the old man to the side.
At this moment, if anyone had a solution, it would be this extraordinary person in front of him.
Moreover, when he stepped into the room, the leader had already noticed Jack's abnormality, as if he was shocked by something.
At this moment, just as the leader had guessed, Jack's heart could not stop shaking.
"Awakening, it's really awakening."
Looking at the pale girl lying on the bed not far away, Jack lost his composure for the first time.
As an extraordinaire, Jack was not unfamiliar with awakening.
Spiritual energy baptized the body and the soul resonated with it.
In terms of performance, everyone was more or less different.
Some people completed the awakening while sleeping, while others suffered for three days and three nights
Complete the awakening.
And the girl in front of him was awakening...
Her body was already wrapped in spiritual energy and the dreamlike spiritual energy seemed to be seeping into her body.
Her body was squeezing desperately...
At the same time, Jack also felt a surging heat wave coming towards him.
Fire elemental talent.
With a murmur, Jack looked at the young girl with a complicated gaze.
Elemental talent was one of the most terrifying extraordinary talents.
And fire element was the most violent and destructive type of elemental talent.
Until now, there were very few people in the entire country who could awaken such a talent.
Even he himself had only awakened his body to strengthen it.
Needless to say, Jack knew that he had really picked up a treasure this time.
As for whether or not he could wake the girl up, that was not something he should consider.
After all, if those old fellows from the research institute found out about this, they would probably go crazy and use all sorts of methods to wake the girl up.
The dusk was slightly cold. The low and dilapidated south room did not see any sunlight all year round. It was dark and damp, and the wall had long fallen off. The walls were uneven.
At this moment, a moan suddenly broke the silence that seemed like death.
Looking up, under Jack's astonished gaze, the eyelids of the pale girl lying on the bed actually trembled slightly.
"Eh, she won't wake up, right?"
His heart was slightly startled and Jack was also somewhat stunned.
Before he could do anything, the girl had already woken up.
This... didn't this mean that this girl should be taken away by him?
Thinking of this, Jack also took a step forward and took out a test tube from his military uniform that he kept close to his body.
It was a spirit medicine that belonged solely to extraordinary people.
After the painstaking research of those old people in the research institute, they were able to extract the spirit energy in the air.
It could replenish the spiritual power of extraordinaires in a short period of time and, at the same time, it could promote the awakening of a person's talent.
However, this kind of good spiritual power potion was highly toxic to ordinary people.
It was also at this moment that Jack accurately determined that the girl in front of him was awakening. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to take out this spiritual power potion.
At that moment, in the depths of the canyon, a tall willow branch swayed and thick fog whistled, displaying its power.
"How is it now?"
Lin Meng's voice was solemn as he asked softly.
"Master, it's a success."
With her eyes tightly shut, she leaned against the willow tree trunk. A 1.67 m tall woman in a white dress smiled slightly.
Then, she added, "I've already taken over her body. It's just that I'm not used to it. I feel very stiff."
"It's fine."
After consoling her, Lin Meng said with some satisfaction, "You should get used to her body for now. If nothing goes wrong, this group of humans will stay overnight in that small village. This little bit of time is enough for you to ask around."
"Hmm."
Nodding slightly, the girl repeated what Lin Meng had told her earlier:
"Three questions. The first is, why did they come here? The second is, how did they know about this place? The third is, the current situation..."
"Yes."
Looking at the young lady with satisfaction, Lin Meng also reminded her, "Remember, don't ask around too much. It's best if you ask around unintentionally. I believe that this shouldn't be difficult for you."
"Hehe."
The young girl smiled mischievously but she didn't say much.
Compared to before, she had already reached level 5. Although her strength didn't increase qualitatively, she had more spirituality.
Thinking about it, she must have absorbed her younger sister's soul and made up for her own lack to a certain extent.
The night was very heavy. In a fire pit at the village chief's house, several people were sitting together. Not far away, there were people chatting in groups of two or three.
Meanwhile, the village chief's family and some villagers were preparing supper in the kitchen to entertain the soldiers who had come from afar. They had not even had a bite of hot food.
Although these soldiers had the intention to refuse, they could not withstand the villagers' enthusiasm.
Not to mention, their superior seemed to have unintentionally awakened the village chief's little granddaughter.
This made the villagers very grateful. They even took out the preserved meat that was prepared for the New Year.
At this moment, beside the bonfire, there was a young girl with long black hair and a very beautiful face.
Her eyes were very clear, so clean that there were no impurities.
Her name was Julie, the village chief's second granddaughter.
She was also a girl who had been in a coma and had not woken up for a long time.
However, just now, because of some unknown reason, she woke up.
However, what was surprising was that she actually seemed to have lost her memory, and did not even recognize the village chief.
However, this did not affect the joy of the village chief and the others.
"It's good that you're awake. It's good that you're awake."
Wiping the corner of his eyes, the village chief looked at his little granddaughter sitting not far away with a doting expression.
This was his last hope.
To be able to wake up was already a blessing.
As for amnesia, there was no harm in it.
The current village chief did not dare to ask for more.
At this moment, Jack, who was sitting beside the bonfire, looked at the young girl not far away. His eyes could not help but flicker.
Especially when he looked into the depths of the young girl's eyes. There was a cluster of sparks that occasionally flashed and disappeared. Jack let out a deep breath.
This was the sign of an elemental talent awakening.
In other words, this young girl had really awakened a rare fire elemental talent.
He didn't know if it was because of the young girl's talent or because of that snake gall.
But there was one thing that didn't need to be doubted. Jack had already taken a fancy to this little girl. He was even prepared to recommend her to that place.
Thinking of this, Jack looked at the village chief and spoke again:
"Village Chief, I wonder if you have considered the matter I mentioned to you just now?"
