Give Hope to a Dying World

Surprised by the familiar stench of corpses in the wind, Chen Hui frowned while scanning the opposite village constantly.

Uncertainly sniffing the wind blowing from the village, the wind is so unsettling, perhaps it is a good choice to sit quietly and play a game of Gwent at this time.Or I can temporarily put this matter aside, find a card game and draw dozens of rounds to suppress the shock.Well, Chen Hui doesn't have corresponding props and conditions for these two options.

"You...can you smell the sickening stench of corpses on the wind?"

Staring in the direction of the village, Chen Hui continued his astonishing speech: "Now the wind is blowing from the village. I definitely remember this faint smell correctly. It is the breath of rotting human corpses,"

"What... what?!" The little deer demons who were already in a state of panic couldn't help but screamed.

"The rotten smell of the corpse?!" Rong Rong was also frightened.

Not to mention the young Little Deer Demon and Tu Shan Rongrong, even the guards of the Fox Clan were stunned for a moment and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"We didn't smell the corpse, but we could feel the danger ahead, we shouldn't go there." The little deer demons who had been walking back and forth restlessly, finally couldn't help but said to Chen Hui anxiously: "That has a very powerful body. If you go there, you will be eaten."

"Yes, there are really strong guys over there." Rong Rong calmed down and spoke.

"The village over there was built on the back of a tree demon with amazing strength. In her territory, whether it is us or other monsters, we need to follow her rules."

At the center of the faintly visible village in the distance is a tree demon that has practiced for thousands of years. Even if its strength is not comparable to the strongest people in the world, it is definitely a top-notch powerhouse.

As a tree demon who is kind by nature and likes to give, even after thousands of years of cultivation, she did not choose to turn herself into a living root to run around, nor did she choose to leave here.Instead, she chooses to continue to be the umbrella that protects the village, protecting the village built around her.

At the beginning, because of her advanced cultivation base, she had the ability to deter the weak monsters around her.So gradually, humans flocked to her to avoid monsters.The gathered people discovered the ability of the dryad. After discovering that the dryad was not hostile, the prototype of a village appeared around the dryad.

It can be said that this village is a classic case of people living in harmony in the world today, and because the tree demon is kind in nature, even Tu Shan is extremely reassured about it, allowing Rong Rong to choose the destination after a long time of consideration. Here it is.

After passing through the tense period that broke out because of Chen Hui's astonishing speech, everyone recovered their previous calmness, and instead of rushing forward, they chose to check carefully first.

"Chen Hui, are you sure you smell the corpse in the village?"

Rong Rong said to Chen Hui solemnly, it seems that this is a very important matter.

To this, Chen Hui just smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, since I said that, it's my own self-confidence. I spent a long time in the pile of corpses full of this smell, and I will never forget this familiar smell if I forget anything."

It was said that the guards of the fox family who had already sniffed the air again and again, but they still didn't smell any corpse odor, instead they smelled a faint fragrance and the smell of food.

After hearing that the powerful existence was not a bad person, the little deer demons gradually calmed down, and did not continue to pace back and forth restlessly.Then he used his small nose to sniff around for a long time, but he still didn't smell what Chen Hui said.

Putting it all together, it seemed that the smell that Chen Hui said was just his own subjective fabrication, even the little angel didn't speak, but shook her head silently to show that she didn't feel anything abnormal.

"In any case, there is nothing wrong with being cautious, everyone approach carefully."

Rong Rong gave an order, and then led the team carefully approaching the village.They killed a lot of ambush guys on the way before, and although they did preliminary anti-tracking methods to bury them afterwards, it was only a matter of time before they were discovered by the enemy.

There is not much time left for them, Rong Rong does not believe that this time the enemy will not communicate with those ambush people on a regular basis, even if the ones he killed were all the little guys in the non-key interception area, the news that he is waiting for someone to arrive is absolutely certain Can't hide for half a day.Therefore, it is necessary for them to detect as much as possible before the enemy is aware of the dangerous situation.

--split line--

"Is this the target village? I can't see anything unusual."

Chen Hui sneaked around, observing the village while communicating with the team that came over with him.

What catches the eye is a village surrounded by a piece of farmland. On the edge of the village, a small river overlaps with the village, supplying the village with daily water.The warm sunshine is shining, and everything is so peaceful.

It was completely different from the hell or depression imagined by Chen Hui and others. What appeared in front of everyone was a village with fresh air and a beautiful environment.On the clean land of the village, the villagers were busy with their work today with a smile on their faces, which brought a very obvious impact on Chen Hui and others, and made Chen Hui stay there.

"Rongrong." Chen Hui rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then called out to Rongrong: "Can you check if there is any illusion here?"

It's no wonder that Chen Hui was so suspicious, it was really the strange smell of dead bodies that made him feel uneasy all the time.Although no one other than him smelled it, it still made Chen Hui feel that the village was too different from the picture he imagined in his mind, and he couldn't help but wonder if the village in front of him was real.

Even though she didn't notice any abnormalities, Rong Rong still listened to Chen Hui's words and checked whether she was deceived by illusion.

"I didn't expect this village to be so vibrant, and it didn't match what we imagined." Rong Rong said seriously: "But I didn't find any signs of illusion, and I didn't notice the lurking enemies."

"Theoretically, this is a safe area. As long as you arrive here, you don't have to worry too much about safety." Rong Rong added.

Rong Rong praised the village while talking, and when Chen Hui was puzzled, he soon noticed that Rong Rong was signaling him to look at a corner.

Instead of looking directly at it, Chen Hui shifted his gaze to the little angel, glanced at it from the corner of his eye with a natural expression, and soon noticed a green root of a plant poking out of the ground.

Now that they had been discovered, Chen Hui and the others did not hide anymore, and went directly to a simple hotel in the village to live in.

After checking that there were no peeping guys in the room, and after taking some protection, Rong Rong said: "I didn't expect this tree demon to be so powerful. Even though we sneaked in, he found us immediately."

"Then, what should we do next, the red thread fairy you are looking for seems to have not come yet." Chen Hui opened the door a crack, looking at the companions outside and the villagers relaxing in the hotel.

"There's something wrong with this village."

"Huh?!" Chen Hui looked at Rong Rong who suddenly changed the subject, and looked at the pensive expression, and asked a question.

"Did you find the problem?"

"No, I haven't found anything suspicious since I found the village." Rongrong thought with some difficulty, gritted his teeth and said, "But no problem is the biggest problem."

Chen Hui was taken aback by Rong Rong's words, but then he understood and laughed strangely.

"Yeah, I can't find any abnormality. This abnormality is too obvious, as if it has been cleaned up on purpose."

Only Rong Rong in Tu Shan's team took Chen Hui's words seriously, and it was precisely because she firmly believed in Chen Hui's words from the beginning, so when she encountered these situations, she didn't feel that the village was normal, but felt that the village was not normal. normal.

The ambush along the way before has already shown that the enemy must have plans, so how could they not leave some means in this village.And Tushan Hongxianxian, who was originally promised to be here, has never been heard from, and the person sent in advance does not appear to be in the village.It stands to reason that they should know why they and others came here, but there is no expression of fear and curiosity from the villagers... Isn't this a strange thing?

The two talked about it, and then considered a possibility.The tree demon at the core of this village has proved himself in the past years, and he is not a dangerous guy.Combined with its strength, the probability of being overshadowed is not high.

So could it be that the problem is that Hong Xianxian and the people sent earlier?And those guys lurking in the middle of the road are just suspicious tactics, deliberately making them think too much.

Before I had time to think about it, there was a sudden commotion outside, and the two people who were discussing hurried out.

Seeing the fox clan guards rushing to the source of the commotion one by one, Chen Hui and his group were taken aback for a moment, turned their heads, and looked at that place.

I saw that in the middle of the main road in the center of the village, the fox guards brought by Rong Rong were surrounding a tall tree, chattering non-stop.And those villagers who were busy with their own affairs also surrounded them in unison, as if they were watching the excitement.

"What happened?" Chen Hui looked over there in bewilderment, not understanding that he and Rong Rong had found a safe place to exchange opinions. How could these guys who stayed outside have nothing to do with the village? The dryad, the patron saint, confronted each other.

"No... I don't know." The little angel who was suddenly asked by Chen Hui shuddered, and when he saw that Chen Hui was about to look at him, he chewed quickly and ate the emerald green roots .

Looking at the little angel who seemed to be secretly eating something, Chen Hui was about to ask something, but was interrupted by Rong Rong who had gone and returned.

"I asked about it. I heard from the villagers that it seems that a fox guard and the tree demon got into a quarrel over the emerald green roots used for surveillance."

"Arguing and fighting later?" Chen Hui suddenly became curious.

"That's not true, it was just tied to the root of the tree by the roots, so the remaining fox guards who were frightened hurried over to save people."

"Interesting, let's go and have a look!" After finishing speaking, Chen Hui dragged the little angel and Rong Rong to the big tree in the center of the village without stopping.

"I'm Tu Shan Rongrong, the team leader this time! Let's go there."

Looking at the onlookers who had surrounded him for an unknown number of times, Rong Rong yelled angrily, and then pushed Chen Hui to rush over.The crowd dispersed immediately, and Chen Hui, Tu Shan Rongrong, and Little Angel could easily cross this road.

Seeing that the three of them were about to pass through the crowd, there was an even greater commotion in the crowd.I saw that a fox guard had changed back to its original form, and was lifted into the air by the tree demon, and then the vines all over its body began to shrink slowly, making it let out bursts of mournful cries.

Seeing that the tribe was being tortured like this, the fox guards surrounding the tree demon also drew their weapons one after another, and kept growling warnings at the tree demon in front of them.

Seeing this scene, Chen Hui raised his brows in the crowd, ready to ask the little angel to save someone, and muttered a few words in a low voice.

"It seems like a tough guy, maybe there will be a fierce fight today."

Chen Hui had just finished muttering, when Dashu, who had been fighting with a group of fox guards, suddenly emerged with a body.

"You don't need to look like an enemy, I'm not a man-eating monster."

Appeared, originally he was unwilling to meet face to face, it was completely like the elders teaching the younger generation, but now they can finally talk on the same level.

The tree demon obviously felt the pressure brought by the little angel, and after thinking about it secretly, he planned to calm down.

"Put it down, I heard rumors that you should be quite kind, why are you becoming so irritable now?" Standing behind the little angel, Rong Rong asked the tree demon to put down the caught fox with a smile on the back of the little angel. Clan bodyguard.

And the tree demon who heard this sentence couldn't help laughing: "I'm kind, not because I'm easy to bully, you are obviously here to humiliate me, so naturally I should teach you a lesson."

"Nonsense, if you didn't slander us Tushan in advance, how could I say that about you?"

The captured guard of the fox tribe retorted emotionally, but unfortunately, the tree demon tightened the tree vines after he finished speaking, so he couldn't continue talking.

After finishing this, the tree demon continued to talk to Tu Shan Rongrong: "Because you despicable people have done something, can't you even say it?"

Listening to the tree demon's resentful words, Chen Hui's group of people looked at a loss.The act of a mean person?They have just arrived, and they haven't done anything, so why are they so hostile to the tree demon?

By coincidence, both Chen Hui and Rong Rong thought of Tu Shan Hong Xianxian who had gone somewhere and the guy sent earlier.

After hearing what the dryad said, the little angel withdrew his hand that was grabbing the emerald green roots with some guilt. After confirming that the other party didn't look at him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

And as the tree demon became more and more angry, the captured fox guard was also entangled more and more tightly.Even with the body protection of monster power, the fox guard started to kick his legs.

For a time, the dispute between the two forces reached its peak in the field.

"Don't go too far! Dryad!"

"It's you who deceive people too much! Fox!"

Chapter 440 Chapter [-] The Dryad with Problems

Hearing the scolding from both sides, the villagers who had been onlookers in the village guarded the tree demon's ancient tree-like body one after another.

I don't know why, but those villagers who are just ordinary people, as if they didn't pay attention to the fierce-looking fox guards over there, stood there and sneered one by one. This kind of provocative behavior made people The Fox Clan guards on Chen Hui's side all became short of breath.

Chen Hui didn't participate in the confrontation, but just looked at the captured fox guard calmly, and raised his hand to let the little angel do it.The pressure from the little angel made the dryad understand that if she killed her, she would be attacked. After hesitating for a while, she suddenly stopped strangling, and flung the captured fox guard back to Chen Hui's team , said this in an orderly manner after calming down.

"Although you fox demons are very shameless, you have indeed found a good helper this time, so I will let you go. Leave now, or I will drive you out by myself."

In a word, the fox guards who caught the seriously injured companion gritted their teeth angrily.

"Too arrogant! Damn tree demon."

"We are from Tushan, and we came here with good intentions, yet they treat us like this."

The fox clan guards brought by Rongrong muttered while glaring at the tree demon and villagers who were chasing away their group.As for Chen Hui and Rong Rong, they looked at the fox bodyguard who was thrown back by the tree demon, and after looking at each other, they knew that the other party had seen the tree demon's tricks, and their suspicions grew stronger.

Those villagers kept mocking, making the fox guards' eyes turn red, and the urge to rush over and fight emerged in their hearts.However, in the next instant, the restless team was reprimanded by Rong Rong, regained consciousness in an instant, suppressed and retreated to Rong Rong with the wounded, while covering for Chen Hui who was at the side.

Looking at the dancing roots of the tree demon, Chen Hui felt that the smell of decay was getting stronger and stronger, but this time it was not the smell of corpses, but the smell of decaying trees.From those villagers, Chen Hui could also smell a faint smell of corpses, as well as the decaying smell from the tree demon.

He didn't care about the ongoing quarrel between the two sides. When the tree demon dealt with the fox guards just now, he had been observing the actions of the tree demon, and found something very strange—that is, in a certain position , there has been no tree demon roots gushing out.

After continuing to observe for a few minutes, Chen Hui was sure that there was something wrong with the land next to the tree demon.Just in case, he immediately signaled Rong Rong and others to evacuate the village, and at the same time ordered the little angel to bring out the things buried in the soil.

The troll teams of the two sides that were still in contact with each other suddenly had a truce. Tu Shan's team stopped making a sound, and ignored the clamor of the weird villagers on the opposite side. They just made a neat U-turn and retreated at full speed.

Before the other party could react, the figure of the little angel suddenly appeared on the edge of the place where Chen Hui noticed the abnormality. After standing still, he flapped his wings fiercely, blowing away the abnormally soft soil in that area, revealing the other Under the motionless figure.After seeing the target, the little angel immediately grabbed the guy's body, and tore off the roots that were constantly absorbing demon power around her body.

"Crack!"
