Deadwood Village.

Zhou Zhou and the other three entered the village without any obstruction.

There were very few of them, only about 100 people in this village.

Every one of their faces was haggard and hungry.

When they saw Zhou Zhou and the others arrive, they immediately walked out to look at them.

Their eyes were filled with anticipation, pity, fear, nervousness, and many other emotions.

Zhou Zhou had prepared some words but he immediately fell silent seeing this scene.

Just as they were halfway there.

A sallow old man walked over shakily with the help of a tall and thin young man.

“Grandpa!”

...

“They seem to have something to say to Grandpa.”

“They didn’t look like bad people, so I brought them here.”

Ah Zhuang said and glanced at Zhou Zhou.

Ah Zhuang’s grandfather smiled bitterly.

Then, he retracted his expression and looked at Zhou Zhou and the others before bowing respectfully.

“Welcome to Deadwood Village, my Lords. I’m Zu Li, the village chief here. The village is simple. I’ve embarrassed myself.”

“You’re too kind, Elder One. So you’re Ah Zhuang’s grandfather. He’s a filial child.” Zhou Zhou smiled.

Ah Zhuang blushed.

“Ah Zhuang is indeed very filial.”

“But I’m not his biological grandfather. I’m his god grandfather.”

“All the children in the village called me that.”

...

Zu Li smiled.

“The three of you can follow me into the hall and take a seat.”

“Let us entertain you too.”

After saying that, he made an inviting gesture with a trembling hand.

Zhou Zhou and the other two looked at each other and nodded.

A moment later.

In the hall.

“This is the morning dew water we collected this morning.”

“Even though it’s not very sweet, it’s still considered clean.”

“If you don’t mind, please drink it.”

Zu Li looked at Zhou Zhou and the others and smiled kindly.

...

Zhou Zhou looked at the clear dew in the broken bowl in his hand.

The item information quickly appeared.

It was indeed dew water.

Then, he looked at the villagers with extremely eager eyes and nodded. Then, he drank the bowl of dew in one gulp.

It was very cooling and was able to quench his thirst even though it did not have any sweetness to it.

Zu Li smiled when he saw this.

After that, they chatted for a while before Zhou Zhou raised his doubts.

“Village Chief, why isn’t there a single Deadwood Tree around your Deadwood Village?”

“Were they all cut down?”

“How would we dare to slash the branch of the Scarlet Lord?”

“The Scarlet Lord retracted them itself.”

...

Zu Li’s expression turned bitter.

Zhou Zhou and the others were stunned.

Before he could take the initiative to ask questions,

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

“It was eleven years ago when we first came here.”

“At that time, there were more than 3,000 of us.”

“However, when we first arrived, we were trapped here by the Withered Demon Tree. We were helpless and could only be raised here as food.”

“In just two years, our original population of more than 3,000 fell to more than 1,000.”

“We thought we were all going to die here.”

“But then a group of Aurora Knights and a Lich arrived here.”

“In order to protect us, those Aurora Knights negotiated with the Lich so that we can establish ourselves here and not be injured by the Withered Tree Demon Scarlet Lord.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

...

“The only thing that restricts us is that we can’t escape from this withered forest.”

“That’s because the Scarlet Lord is only willing to give us an area to survive. Beyond this area, it will still treat us as food.”

“That’s how it was.”

“We have maintained our food until now by collecting dew and some seeds.”

“During this period, we lost some more villagers on and off.”

“Some of them starved to death; some encountered and were killed by the fog monsters here while collecting food; some wanted to escape and were killed by the Withered Demon Tree.”

“That’s how it’s been.”

“We’re only left with these 100 villagers.”

“As for the Aurora Cavalry…”

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

“However, they didn’t attack us when they saw us.”

...

“Until five years ago.”

“They took the initiative to attack us when we saw them again.”

“We don’t know why.”

The villager was a little puzzled.

Zhou Zhou did not say anything.

They should have been transformed into Undead Knights after the Aurora Cavalrymen negotiated with the Lich.

At that moment, they still had a certain level of self-awareness and could control themselves from killing after seeing the Aurora Kingdom humans.

Then, they completely lost their consciousness after they were completely transformed into fog monsters by the Scarlet Fog.

That was why they attacked the people of Deadwood Village.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou could not help but sigh.

At the same time, he felt a sense of respect for the Undead Knights before they were turned into fog monsters.

“To be honest, I’m a Lord. I led the army here this time to conquer this land.”

“The Scarlet Lord of the Withered Demon Tree you’re facing is one of our goals.”

Zhou Zhou said.

Zu Li and the villagers beside him were stunned.

“If my Lord can deal with the Boss of the Withered Demon Tree…”

“Everyone in our Deadwood Village is willing to join you, my Lord.”

Zu Li stood up and said.

As soon as he finished speaking.

A text notification appeared.

[Deadwood Village Chief— Zu Li has issued a Quest to you!]

[Quest Name: Hope and Counterattack]

[Quality of Quest: White Platinum-Tier Elementary Grade – Normal]

[Quest Content: The villagers of the Deadwood Village have been trapped in the Deadwood Forest for 11 years by the Lord of the Withered Demon Tree. During this period, every villager they lost added aggro to their hearts. Your sudden visit gave them hope for revenge! Destroy the Boss of the Withered Demon Tree and avenge their dead villagers!]

[Mission Reward: 10 White Platinum-Tier Mist Cores and the loyalty of 136 Subjects of Deadwood Village (All loyalty has reached 95 points).]

Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows.

A White Platinum-Tier Quest?!

He took it without hesitation.

“Leave it to us.”

“Today, we will fight the Withered Demon Tree Scarlet Lord.”

“If it goes well, you will know the outcome before the Scarlet Fog descends tonight.”

Zhou Zhou said.

“Then I’ll leave it to you, my Lord!”

Zu Li said happily.

“By the way, my Lord.”

“Be careful of the dead wood by the roadside and the seeds underground.”

“They look very ordinary, but they’re actually the claws and teeth of the Scarlet Lord of the Withered Demon Tree.”

“Not only can they monitor you, but they can also take the initiative to attack.”

“If you’re not careful…”

“It’s easy to get hurt.”

The villager beside Zu Li thought of something and said hurriedly.

“Thank you very much.”

“We’ll take note.”

Zhou Zhou was a little surprised.

He did not expect that other than the withered trees by the roadside, there were actually methods hidden underground by the Boss of the Withered Demon Tree.

If these were the methods of the Scarlet Lord of the Withered Demon Tree, then the entire Withered Forest Plains was probably under its surveillance.

After that, they did not stay any longer and returned to the Blazing Sun Army.
