 Withered Wood Village.

After Zhou Zhou and the four of them arrived here, they entered the village directly without any obstruction.

 There are about a hundred people in this village.

 It’s not just the number of people who are small.

 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 had prepared some words.

　　But seeing 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.

"grandfather!"

 “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 smiled bitterly when he heard this.

 Then he put away his expression, looked at Zhou Zhou and the others, and then saluted respectfully.

 “Welcome, my lords, to Deadwood Village.”

 “I am the village chief here - Zu Li.”

 “The small village is simple and simple.”

 “I made you all laugh.”

 “You’re welcome, old man.”

“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 the god-grandfather he recognizes.”

“All the grown-up-less children in the village call me this way to recognize me.”

Zu Li smiled.

"You three, please follow the old man into the lobby and sit down."

 “Also let us entertain you.”

 After he finished speaking, he made a shaky invitation gesture.

 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’s not very sweet, at least it’s 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 appears quickly.

 It is definitely 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.

 It has a refreshing taste.

Although it does not have a sweet taste, it is still ok to quench your thirst.

Zu Li suddenly smiled when he saw this.

 After they chatted briefly for a while, Zhou Zhou raised his doubts:

“Village Chief, why is there not a single dead tree around your Dead Tree Village?”

 “Have they all been chopped off?”

 “How dare we cut down the branch of the Scarlet Lord?”

“The scarlet lord took it back himself.”

Hearing this, Zuli's expression suddenly turned bitter.

 Zhou Zhou and others were stunned.

 Before he took the initiative to raise 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 we are 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 like blood food.”

“In just two years, our number has dropped from more than 3,000 people to more than 1,000 people.”

“We thought we would all die here.”

"But then a group of glow cavalry and a lich came here."    "In order to protect us, that group of glow cavalry negotiated conditions with the lich so that we could gain a foothold here and no longer be harmed by the scarlet lord, the withered tree demon. "

“The only thing that limits us is the inability to escape from this dead woodland.”

“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 all."

“We have survived until now by collecting dew and raising food from some seeds we brought with us.”

 “In the meantime.”

“We have lost some villagers off and on.”

“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.”

 “And it continues like this until now.”

“We only have these 100 or so villagers left.”

 “As for the group of glow cavalry.”

 “By the time we see them again, they have become completely different people.”

"But they didn't attack us when they saw us."

 “Until five years ago.”

“When we saw them again, they took the initiative to attack us.”

 “We don’t know why either.”

 The villagers were a little confused after speaking.

 Zhou Zhou did not speak for a while after hearing this.

I see.

The group of glow cavalry should have been transformed into undead knights by the lich after they negotiated the terms.

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 Kumu Village.

Think of this.

 Zhou Zhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

 At the same time, he also developed a respect for the undead knight before he was transformed into a mist monster.

 “Let’s not hide the truth.”

 “I am a lord. I came with my army this time to conquer this land.”

“The Scarlet Lord of the Withered Demonic Tree that you are facing 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 Deadwood Village, are willing to join your command, Lord 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! ]

 [Name of the mission: Hope and Counterattack]

 [Quest quality: Platinum lower level·Normal]

[Task content: The villagers of Deadwood Village have been trapped in the Deadwood Forest by the Lord of the Withered Demonic Tree for eleven years. During this period, every villager they lost added to their hearts with 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 against the Scarlet Lord of the Withered Demonic Tree.”

 “If everything goes well.”

“You will know the result before the scarlet mist comes tonight.”

 Zhou Zhoudao.

 “Then please leave it to your lord!”

 Zuli said with joy on his face.

 “That’s right, Lord.”

 “Be careful of dead trees on the roadside and seeds in the ground.”

“They look very ordinary, but in fact they are all minions of the Scarlet Lord of the Withered Demonic Tree.”

“Not only can they spy on you, they can even actively attack you.”

 “If you are not careful.”

 “It’s easy to get hurt.”

The villagers next to Zu Li thought of something and said quickly.

 “Thank you.”

 “We took note of it.”

Zhou Zhou was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, in addition to the dead trees on the roadside, the leader of the Withered Demonic Tree also had the means hidden 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.

 After that, they stopped staying and returned to the Legion of the Sun.
