Chapter 185 The past of the Glow Knight! Platinum lower level mission! (Please subscribe)
Withered Wood Village.
After Zhou Zhou and the four of them arrived here, they entered the village directly without any obstruction.
There are probably more than a hundred people in this village.
It’s not just the small number of people.
And everyone's face looked haggard and hungry.
After seeing Zhou Zhou and the others coming, they all came out and looked at them.
There are many emotions such as expectation, pity, fear, and anxiety in those eyes.
Zhou Zhou originally prepared some words.
But saw this scene.
He fell silent immediately.
Just when they were halfway there.
An old man with a sallow face and thin muscles walked over shakily, supported by a tall and thin young man.
“Grandpa!”
“They seem to have something to say to Grandpa.”
"I didn't think they were bad people, so I brought them here."
A Zhuang said, and then glanced at Zhou Zhou.
A Zhuang's grandfather heard this and smiled bitterly.
Then he put away his expression, looked at Zhou Zhou and the others, and then saluted respectfully.
"Welcome, my lords, to Drywood Village."
"I am the village chief here - Zu Li."
"The village is simple."
"I made you all laugh."
"The old man is too polite."< br>
“So you are A Zhuang’s grandfather.”
"He is a filial child."
Zhou Zhou smiled.
A Zhuang's face turned red when he heard this.
"A Zhuang is indeed very filial."
"But I am not his biological grandfather, but his godfather."
"All the grown-up-less children in the village call me this to recognize me."
Zuli laughed.
"You three, follow the little old man into the lobby and sit down."
"Let us entertain you all."
After he finished speaking, he trembled Made a gesture of invitation.
Zhou Zhou and the other three looked at each other and then nodded.
After a while.
Lobby.
“This is the dew just collected this morning.”
“Although it is not very sweet, at least it is clean.”
"If the three guests don't mind, you can drink it and have a look."
Zu Li looked at Zhou Zhou and the others and smiled kindly.
Zhou Zhou glanced at the clear dew in the broken bowl in his hand.
Item information will appear soon.
It is indeed dew.
Then he glanced at the villagers next to him who had extremely longing eyes, and then drank the bowl of dew in one gulp.
The entrance is refreshing.
Although it does not have a sweet taste, it is still no problem to quench your thirst.
When Zu Li saw this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Afterwards, they chatted briefly for a while, and Zhou Zhou raised his doubts:
"Village Chief, why is there not a single dead tree around your Deadwood Village?"
"Have they all been cut down?"
"How dare we cut down the branches of the Scarlet Lord? ."
"The scarlet lord took it back himself."
When Zu Li heard this, his expression suddenly turned bitter.
Zhou Zhou and others were stunned.
Before he took the initiative to raise his doubts.
The young man standing next to Zu Li took the initiative to explain.
“When we first came here, it was eleven years ago.”
“At that time, we were not just more than a hundred people like now, but more than three thousand people. ”
"When we first arrived, we were trapped here by the withered demon tree. We had no power to resist and could only be raised here as blood food."
"In just two years, We dropped from the original number of more than 3,000 people to more than 1,000 people."
"We thought we would all die here."
"But then a group came here. "The glow cavalry and a lich." "In order to protect us, the group of glow cavalry negotiated conditions with the lich so that we can gain a foothold here and no longer be harmed by the scarlet lord of the withered tree demon."
"The only thing that limits us is that we cannot escape from this dead wood forest."
"Because the scarlet lord is only willing to give us an area to survive. Beyond this area, it will still regard us as blood food. ."
"That's it."
"We have been surviving until now by collecting dew and raising some seeds. During this period.”
"We have lost some villagers intermittently."
"Some of them starved to death; some were encountered and killed by the fog monsters here while collecting food; some were killed by the withered magic tree when they tried to escape. ."
"It continues like this until now."
"We only have more than 100 villagers left."
"As for the group of glow cavalry. ”
"When we saw them again, they had become completely different people."
"But when they saw us, they did not attack us."
"Until Five years ago."
"When we saw them again, they attacked us directly."
"We don't know why."
The villagers were a little confused after speaking.
Zhou Zhou did not speak for a while after hearing this.
That’s it.
After the group of glow cavalry negotiated terms with the lich, they should have been transformed into undead knights by the other party.
If at this time, they still have a certain degree of self-awareness and can control themselves from killing after seeing the Aurora human race.
Then after they are completely transformed into fog monsters by the scarlet mist, they should no longer have any consciousness at this time.
That’s why they attacked the people in Deadwood Village.
Think of this.
Zhou Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, he also felt a sense of respect for the undead knight before he was transformed into a mist monster.
"I'll tell you the truth."
"I am a lord. This time I led my army to conquer this land."
"The withered demon tree you are facing The Scarlet Lord is one of the goals of our trip."
Zhou Zhoudao.
Zuli and the villagers beside him were stunned.
"If the lord can deal with the leader of the withered demon tree."
"We, the people of the withered tree village, are willing to all join your command, lord."
Zuli stood up and said.
The words just fell.
Text prompt appears.
[The head of Kumu Village-Zuli has issued a commissioned task to you! ]
[Mission name: Hope and Counterattack]
[Task quality: Platinum lower level·Normal]
[Task content: The villagers of Withered Wood Village have been killed by the Withered Demon Tree The lords were trapped in the Deadwood Forest for eleven years. During this period, every villager they lost added to their hatred. Your sudden visit brings them hope of revenge. Kill the Lord of the Withered Demon Tree and avenge their dead villagers! ]
[Task reward: 10 platinum-level Mist Hearts, the loyalty of 136 residents of Deadwood Village (all loyalty points reach 95 points). ]
Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows.
Platinum level commissioned tasks! ?
He took it without hesitation.
“Leave it to us.”
“Today we will fight the Scarlet Lord of the Withered Demon Tree.”
"If everything goes well."
"You will know the result before the scarlet fog comes tonight."
Zhou Zhou said.
"Then please leave it to your lord!"
Zuli said with joy on his face.
"By the way, Lord."
"Be sure to be careful of the dead trees on the roadside and the seeds in the ground."
"They look very ordinary, but in fact they are all scarlet withered magic trees. The minions of the lord."
"They can not only monitor you, but they can even attack you if you are not careful."
"It's easy to get hurt."
The villager next to Zu Li thought of something and said quickly.
“Thank you.”
“We’ve written it down.”
Zhou Zhou was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, in addition to the dead trees on the roadside, the leader of the Withered Demonic Tree actually hid his methods underground.
If these are the methods of the Scarlet Lord of the Withered Demonic Tree.
The entire withered forest is probably under its surveillance perspective.
Afterwards, they stopped staying and returned to the Sun Legion.
