Lord of Rot

Chapter 298 Witch Tree

"puff!"

Lacey cut off the head of the corpse in front of him with a sword.

His team was used to being raided.

With the sword back in its sheath, all the corpses of this raid have been wiped out.

"Baby!"

Lacey suddenly noticed that the state of the war horse under his crotch was not right, and he became restless.

And his keen insight from a transcendent made him subconsciously turn his head to look north.

"What's the matter, my lord?" A cavalryman asked.

Another cavalryman followed Lacey's gaze to the north: "There seems to be something there, is it a fire?"

"The lord is not in danger!"

"It's at least a day and a night away from Lilac Village. There's a fire there, how could it be possible for us to see it? It should have nothing to do with the lord."

"makes sense."

The cavalry were chattering away, all guessing how the fire soaring into the sky came from. The biggest possibility was the lord, and only his own lord could create such a terrifying scene far beyond imagination.

Lacey turned back: "Do you think adults need to ask you for help?"

Everyone remembered that when the city was attacked a few days ago, the lord took the lead and directly killed the guards on the city wall, and those guards who were killed raised their hands and surrendered.

They felt that their thoughts were a bit ridiculous. There was no doubt about the strength of the adults. As the champion of the Dongxia martial arts competition, they needed to wait for others to worry?
Obediently completing tasks without delaying is the only thing they can do.

Lacey said: "All we can do is to fulfill the orders of the adults and continue on our way!"

"Yes!"

……

The three horses, whose legs were weakened by the violent explosion, recovered quickly. They were fed some fodder, and after a short rest, they were able to stand up and continue on their way.

Li Qi gathered Niels Bauch's body together. He died so simply that no bones could be dug out.

A part of the ghoul monitor lizard's body disappeared, and it couldn't make up a complete undead skeleton.

After all, he had been following him for a long time, and the corpse was directly burned and buried, which could be regarded as integrated into this land.

"Since this flower is given to the Black King by others, it is a conspiracy." Li Qi just held the flower and watched it.

Just looking at the appearance of the flower, it is completely impossible to see that this thing will cause a disaster in a territory.

"It's not very aggressive. It should be a mistake in the way the black king is used, which led to this endgame."

As for what is the appropriate way to use it, we can only wait and find out later.

In fact, what Li Qi wants to know more is whether the extraordinary power in this world can only be obtained through blood inheritance, talent, or taking drugs.

"Maybe magic is the world's pity for the untalented."

After the horses fully recovered, Li Qi rode on the horse and led the team to continue towards the direction of the Beech Village.

Encountered scattered vine corpses along the way, the undead cavalry rushed up, and all of them could be wiped out with one charge.

After a day or two of rushing, I finally saw the monastery in the northeast.

The huge building complex looks like a small manor.

The brocade on the wall trembled with green leaves, as if this disaster affecting tens of thousands of people had nothing to do with the monastery.

The wind blows, and the mosquitoes come to the surface.

Li Qi waved his hands to drive away the mosquitoes, but he couldn't escape a bug, which got into his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and walked into the church of the monastery.

Blinking, squeezing out a tear, the feeling of astringency in the eyes finally disappeared.

Raising his head and looking up, Li Qi, with moist eyes, happened to be looking at the statue of the woman of the four gods looking down.

This scene seemed to be admonishing from God, and Li Qi listened carefully to God's teaching with tears in his eyes.

"..."

He is a general believer, and he believes because of his predecessor, otherwise he should be a non-believer.

Whether there is a god in this world, and whether the worm was arranged by the god, he is not sure, but this time looking up to face the god statue and crying, it is indeed a bit deliberate.

People called Li Qi "God's Blessed One", and he felt that this title was very watery, because he knew very well that he was not resurrected from the dead, but a time traveler.

My only golden finger is to heal the fatal wounds on my body when time travelling.

"If I am really the favored one brought to this world by the four gods, what is their purpose?"

"The happiest way to live alone is to avoid internal friction and nonsensical thinking." Li Qi quickly suppressed his various thoughts. He is just a little baron, and there is a mess behind his ass. Instead of thinking so much, it is better to think about it The follow-up development of Iron Valley.

Dead bodies, ghouls and undead skeletons entered the monastery to start cleaning.

In less than half a day, all the ones that could move were blown out of their heads by Gentleman, and they were dragged out and piled up in the yard.

Priests and nuns were the most numerous people in the monastery. They were thrown on the pile of firewood and burned.

"I can count it as a great merit." Li Qi stood in the yard, watched the flames burning the corpses and said to himself: "At least I helped these priests get rid of it."

Li Qi planned to put the undead cavalry and the remaining dozens of dead soldiers in the monastery. The environment here is spacious enough for him to station troops.

And there is no risk of revealing that he can control the undead.

There are quite a lot of supplies in the monastery.

He also found a small vegetable garden while wandering around.

It is estimated that it was planted by ascetic monks and is self-sufficient.

The small vegetable garden that had not been tended for more than a year was already full of weeds, but Li Qi still found celery that was growing stubbornly.

April is the season when celery is ripe.

"In the future, people can try to grow some vegetables in Iron Wall Fort."

There are too many inconveniences today, why not just eat dried meat and drink water, and have a good meal when we return to Iron Wall Fort.

At night, lying in the ascetic's room, Li Qi consciously followed the dead bird to investigate the situation of Tiegu.

"Lilac Village has been cleaned up, and all the corpses of the vines all the way to the northeast of Beech Village have been cleaned up by me. When I clean up the corpses in Beech Village and the north this time, I can feel at ease."

To the north of Iron Valley, there are impassable mountains, and the fur beech village is the northernmost point.

Li Qi switched the angle of view and looked at the Iron Wall Fort first.

The dead bird folded its wings and landed on the window sill of the inner fort, seeing the maid Aili cleaning the table carefully.

"Well, maid outfits must also be extended to Iron Wall Castle!"

The little maid is very serious about her work, but she is wearing her own rough linen clothes and off-line cloth shoes, which must be changed.

Looking around, he found that there were more guards outside the granary. It is estimated that the lack of food in the recent period caused some people to have a wrong mind.

The biggest problem has been solved, and Iron Valley can return to normal after the payment is completely completed.

Those small problems can also be easily solved.

He finally looked towards the southernmost Hazelnut Village, and found that Lacey and others had arrived and successfully helped Hazelnut Village eliminate the surrounding vine corpses. At this time, they were loading oil drums on the carriage, and it seemed that they were going to send them to Iron Wall Fort.

Li Qi stretched his waist, and chatted with Fairy Mizusawa about the situation in High Magic Land.

He was relieved to be sure that the crabs did not attack the island. It was his own experimental field. Whether he could embark on the road of magic farming in the future would depend on the effect of this farming.

Ever since he came to Iron Valley, Li Qi hadn't been able to have a good night's rest.

Now that he is relaxed, he can finally have a good dream...

"Woodun!"

The demon fox Tibetan horse with folded hands, wearing the golden holy clothes of Pisces, used the tree world to come to Li Qi.

"Hmph!" Li Qi sneered: "Jupiter's power, transform!"

He flung his eyes open.

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, he exhaled.

"Huh, what a big brain fight?" He sat up and rubbed his head, only to feel a buzzing pain in his head. It should be that the impact of the super-large-scale explosion before had had a huge impact on him.

It could also be a messy dream.

Pushing open the door and coming out of the room, Li Qi was a little surprised to see the scene in front of him.

Ayame and Ina changed into nun clothes, while Rabbit and Guy dressed up as priests.

The previous battles had already torn their clothes to pieces.

"The learning ability of ghouls allows them to perfectly integrate into the human world," Li Qi secretly thought.

He didn't teach dressing, but the ghouls learned to take the initiative to find clean new clothes and change into them.

The ghouls seem to have become a brand new species, and they are trying their best to imitate humans.

And the creator of this species is now Li Qi.

"Nice dress," he complimented.

The ghoul smiled at him, and it could be seen that they didn't care much about beauty and ugliness, and there was still a long way to go before they could fully learn how to be human.

Li Qi rummaged through his luggage to find food, gnawed on the hard jerky, and in his mind he moved forward his plan to return to Iron Wall Fort by another day, and decided that he had to leave even if he had to travel at night.

The days of marching and fighting were too hard, and Baron Li Qi, who was used to enjoying them, resisted.

On the way to the Beech Village, Li Qi communicated with the ghouls in Mandarin, and their spoken language was no longer a problem.

The language from another world will become the language of ghouls.

"Guy" Li Qi said: "You don't have to go back to Iron Wall Castle with me in a while, just go back to Longship Castle and let Mrs. Jielin get ready... Don't worry, you can write a letter to Monkey Leader first, Ask about the situation."

Guy's going to Iron Valley with the soldiers who were supposed to take over Longship Fort can't be hidden.

However, after this period of full recovery and development, Shuijiandi's strength should have recovered a little bit, and Li Qi's new territory is on the side, so he is not afraid of a real conflict with the monkey.

"It would be nice if it could be delayed for a while."

Li Qi needs time very much, the longer he delays, the more time he will be able to develop himself.

Guy nods.

"Rabbit, you go back with Guy" Li Qi originally wanted to keep the speed-type ghoul by his side, but thinking that the rabbit is a member of the monkey family, so as not to cause trouble, it would be better to let him and Guy together and really fight , two extraordinary are more useful than one extraordinary.

After leaving the monastery, go west for a while, which is a small downhill road.

The vine dead bodies in the vicinity began to increase again.

After turning the path, a completely deserted village appeared in front of Li Qi.

There is a huge dead tree at the head of the village.

Breaking away from the trunk, it can be seen that the interior of the tree has been eaten away by insects.

Dead branches hung from bare, branched branches.

The heads of those corpses were covered with sackcloth bags, but it could be seen from the clothes that these were all women.

A gust of wind blew, and the shriveled corpse shook slightly.

"Witch Hunt"

Li Qi already had an answer to this situation in his mind.

The Black King once promoted the witch hunt, and it was probably launched in the Beech Village.

The ghouls can still act when they go to clean up.

Li Qi controlled the dead bodies and put down all the women who had been hanged from the tree. Only a big fire could bring them real peace.

He walked around the village and found something strange.

"It's called Beech Village, but there are not many trees in sight."

There seems to have been a big fire on the outskirts of this village. Weeds and saplings can be seen, but no old trees can be seen.

As he walked, Li Qi felt something was wrong.

"Wait, this grass looks familiar."

He looked at a large expanse of strange grass in front of him, and a certain memory in his mind was touched.

Recalling carefully, it took a while to remember.

"It's a ghoul monitor!"

The monitor lizard used to be a lizard grown to the limit, it followed a woman for food, and then it noticed that the woman was picking some kind of grass and ate it.

A fire, the monitor lizard's home disappeared.

It also went from that forest to the swamp on Pig's Head Mountain.

Since then, monitor lizards have grown beyond their limits.

"It's this kind of grass!"

Li Qi squatted on the ground, looked at the herbs all over the floor and double-checked.

"It can make lizards break through the growth limit and grow into monitor lizards. If they are eaten by humans, can they become giants?" This is a more likely way than raising people on the high magic island.

In Li Qi's eyes, this piece of grass is a real treasure.

Although it was not as good as the extraordinary potion that could turn ordinary creatures into extraordinary creatures, it was terrifying enough. Li Qi was confident that a dozen people could eat the grass in front of him.

He dug a few, planning to find some animals and people to try immediately after returning to the Iron Wall Fortress. After all, this kind of grass looks very healthy, and there was a big fire that year, and now it has grown such a pile.

This is the real reward!
