Chapter 1712 Guardian

"No," Jacob shook his head. "The guardians of spiritual items have spirituality just like human beings. Killing it would be like murdering a human."

"Are you done resting? If so, let's go. That thing will be here soon," he urged.

"Let's wait for a while. I’ve just gotten my strength back. I don't think it can move that fast in the woods," she said.
