Chapter 185 The Past of the Radiance Knight! Platinum Low-Level Mission! (Seeking Subscription)

Deadwood Village.

After Zhou Zhou and the others came here, they entered the village without any hindrance.

There are about a hundred people in this village.

Not only the number of people is small.

And everyone's face is haggard and hungry.

Seeing Zhou Zhou and the others coming, they all came out to look at them.

There were expectations, pity, fear, apprehension and many other emotions in those eyes.

Zhou Zhou originally prepared some words.

But seeing this scene.

He suddenly fell silent.

Just when they were halfway.

A sallow and thin old man walked over tremblingly with the support of 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."

Ah Zhuang said, and then glanced at Zhou Zhou.

Ah Zhuang's grandfather had a wry smile when he heard this.

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

"Welcome all adults to Deadwood Village."

"I am the village head here - Zuli."

"The small village is simple."

"Let the adults laugh."

"The old man is polite."

"So you are Ah Zhuang's grandfather."

"He is a dutiful boy."

Zhou Zhou laughed.

Ah Zhuang's face turned red when he heard this.

"Ah Zhuang is indeed very filial."

"But I'm not his real grandfather, but the dry grandfather he recognizes."

"All the children in the village who have no adults call me to recognize me like this."

Zuli laughed.

"The three of you, let's go into the lobby with the little old man first."

"Let us entertain everyone, too."

After he finished speaking, he tremblingly made an inviting gesture.

The three of Zhou Zhou looked at each other, then nodded.

After a while.

lobby.

"This is the dew just collected this morning."

"It's not very sweet, but at least it's clean."

"If the three guests don't dislike it, 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 shortly.

It is indeed dew.

Then he glanced at the villagers next to him with eager eyes, and drank the bowl of dew in one gulp.

The entrance is cool.

Although it does not have a sweet taste, it is still no problem to quench your thirst.

A smile appeared on Zuli's face 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 Deadwood Village?"

"Have they all been cut off?"

"How dare we cut off the scarlet lord's branch."

"It was taken back by the scarlet lord himself."

When Zu Li heard the words, his expression suddenly became bitter.

Zhou Zhou and the others were taken aback.

Before he took the initiative to raise doubts.

The young man standing beside Zu Li took the initiative to explain.

"When we first came here, it was eleven years ago."

"At that time, we didn't have more than 100 people like now, but more than 3,000 people."

"When we first came, we were trapped here by the withered demon tree. We, who had no power to resist, could only be raised here as blood food."

"In just two years, we have directly dropped from the original more than 3,000 people to more than 1,000 people."

"We thought we were all going to die here."

"But then here came a group of glow riders 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 restricting us is that we cannot escape from this deadwood 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."

"that's it."

"We have survived until now by collecting dew and the food we raised from some seeds we brought with us."

"During this time."

"We lost some villagers intermittently."

"Some of them starved to death; some were killed by the mist monsters here during the process of collecting food; some were killed by the withered demon tree because they wanted to escape here."

"It has continued like this until now."

"We are left with just over 100 villagers."

"As for the group of shining cavalry."

"By the time we saw them again, they were completely different people."

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

"Until five years ago."

"When we saw them again, they attacked us directly."

"We don't know why."

The villagers were a little puzzled after speaking.

Zhou Zhou didn't speak for a while.

I see.

After the group of glow cavalry negotiated with the lich, they should have been transformed into necromancer knights by the other party.

If at this time, they still have a certain degree of self-awareness, they can control themselves not to kill after seeing the Aurora human race.

Then after they are completely transformed into mist 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 here.

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

At the same time, there is also a respect for the dead knight before being transformed into a fog monster.

"It's true."

"I am a lord. This time I led an army to conquer this land."

"The scarlet lord of the withered demon tree you are facing is exactly one of the goals of our trip."

Zhou Zhou said.

Zu Li and the villagers beside him were taken aback.

"If the lord can solve the leader of the withered tree."

"The people of our Deadwood Village are willing to join your lord's command."

Zu Li stood up and said.

The voice just fell.

A text prompt appears.

[The head of Deadwood Village - Zu Li has issued a commissioned task to you! ]

[Entrusted task name: Hope and Counterattack]

[Mission Quality: Platinum Junior · Normal]

[Quest content: The villagers of Deadwood Village have been trapped in the Deadwood Forest by the Lord of the Withered Demon Tree for eleven years. During this period, every villager they lost has added a hatred in their hearts. You, who came here unexpectedly, brought them the hope of revenge. Destroy the Lord of the Withered Demon Tree and avenge their dead villagers! ]

[Mission rewards: 10 platinum-level mist hearts, the loyalty of 136 leaders of Deadwood Village (all loyalty points reach 95 points). ]

Zhou Zhou frowned.

Platinum-level entrusted missions! ?

He took it without hesitation.

"Leave it to us."

"Today we will fight against the scarlet lord of the withered tree."

"if things go well."

"Before the scarlet mist descends tonight, you will know the result."

Zhou Zhou said.

"Then please, my lord!"

A look of joy appeared on Zuli's face and said.

"By the way, my lord."

"Be careful of the dead wood on the roadside and the seeds in the ground."

"They seem to be very ordinary, but they are actually the minions of the scarlet lord of the withered tree."

"Not only can they monitor you, but they can even actively attack."

"If you are not careful."

"It's easy to get hurt."

The villagers beside Zu Li thought of something and said quickly.

"Thank you."

"We made a note."

Zhou Zhou was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, apart from the dead trees on the side of the road, there are actually hidden methods of the leader of the Withered Demon Tree underground.

If these are the means of the scarlet lord of the withered tree.

The entire withered forest is probably under its monitoring perspective.

Afterwards, they stopped staying and returned to the Legion of the Scorching Sun.
