"On the contrary, I don't want to go out, I'm going to go in." Xu Yichen watched with interest as the centaur mother kept wandering outside the barrier: "So, you are indeed the Ring of Pastoral Tree Organization?" ”

"That's right, we're the Ring of Pastoral Trees, and we arrived as soon as we felt the signal from the forest, but it was too late." The centaur didn't know if he should trust the Seris, and the other party didn't seem to want to force his way out.

To be on the safe side, the centaur secretly passed the unexpected news to his companions, and then tried to delay the time.

"There are already infected people running into the forest, and your blockade has failed." Xu Yichen said to the centaur: "I found a dragon beast that ate the infected in the forest near the sea. ”

"We've been working hard to hunt down the plague carriers, and the high-ranking druids are communicating with Mother Nature to keep the animals away from the inhabited." The centaur looked a little aggrieved: "But our number is too small, and there are always some animals who are too proud to communicate with Mother Nature, and some animals who are too stupid to understand what we are conveying!" ”

"You should join forces with others, you alone cannot stop the spread of the plague." The Demon Hunter shook his head, "Say hello to Master Gast for me, tell him I'm not dead yet, and I'll go back to Storm's Rest and try to solve the problem." ”

"If I succeed, I'll give you a signal, and if I die inside, you'll keep the plan." Xu Yichen turned around and continued to move in the direction of Wind's Breath Castle: "Tell Master Gast that this is another game of Nurgle. ”

"Hey!" Standing on the edge of the wall of nature, the centaur lady shouted, "Human, whoever you are, good luck!" Also, don't try to sneak away, we'll watch you! ”

After nearly a week, this is the first time Xu Yichen has communicated with intelligent creatures, which makes him feel a lot happier.

Sleeping in the open along the way, dealing with corpses and the undead, he finally changed his appetite, which is why he is willing to waste a little time to stop and communicate with centaurs.

Loneliness will always find you unconsciously.

Looking up into the distance, the Wind Breath Castle that occupied the hilly area was already visible to the naked eye, Xu Yichen sorted out his equipment and continued to move along the wider and wider road.

At a T-junction, an overturned carriage was in the middle of the road, loaded with hay, which overturned and blocked almost the entire road.

The corpses of two horses, presumably the remains of horses, in the middle of the road, the black blood had already coagulated, and it smelled suffocating.

The hay mixed with blood left ominous trails on the ground, making it hard not to imagine the sudden tragedy.

Several crows covered in tumors stood on the T-junction sign, hissing in a strange voice, their small scarlet eyes moving with the movement of the demon hunter.

Xu Yichen waved his hand, and the Alpha Seal, which controlled the strength, was thrown over, driving away several infected crows, and then he could see the words written on the blood-stained street signs.

"To the west, fifteen kilometers, Storm's End."

"To the south, five kilometers, the old pit."

As the Demon Hunter passed by the sign with a blank face, a gust of wind struck, and the already battered sign broke off from its roots and fell to the ground with a thud after swaying and struggling a few times.

Wind's End is much smaller than the Great Port of Antonio, but has a larger population.

Unlike the Anthony family, Count Modric is a professional with a title, not only with extraordinary strength, but also with a far longer life expectancy.

In fact, he is one of the founders of Storm's End.

Legend has it that the veins of Storm's End were first discovered by an adventuring party, and after an initial struggle, Modric poisoned his teammates in his room in the dark of night, long before Storm's End was still Storm's End.

Since then, Storm's Rest has slowly become Storm's End, and the only owner of Storm's Rest is Count Modric.

By the way, this title was granted to Morderick by the French Empire himself, and a colonial title was not very valuable among the knights of the Old World, especially when Storm's End itself could produce a large number of weapons and armor.

A large number of civilians were treated favorably by Count Modric and crossed the sea from the Old Road, and they did get the expected treatment as a glorious miner of Storm's End.

The miners make up the civilian class of Storm's End, and those who are talented enough to explore the direction of ore veins, distinguish mineral types, purify metals, and craft weapons and armor become the backbone of Storm's End.

Of course, as a ruthless enough professional, Modric is not at all averse to using slaves and exchanging his life for mines in the most dangerous positions.

Modric promised that those who excelled could become freedmen.

But the Earl cared no further than the origin of the slaves, and even allowed the slave traders to plunder the populations of other regions to fill their gaps.

Those who were able to provide a large number of laborers eventually even became nobles of Storm's End, and as a new city, Storm's End grew and expanded at an unparalleled rate.

If it weren't for the plague known as the 'Cancer of Eternal Life', no one could have predicted where the final path of Storm's End would go.

But the sudden natural disaster and death broke the backbone of the city and drained the flesh and blood of the city.

As Xu Yichen went deeper, more and more dense buildings began to appear on both sides of the road, and as in the former lower town of Antonio Harbour, there are always people in every city who cannot afford the high cost of living in the city and have to face the dangers of the Black Forest alone outside the city walls.

The simple wooden houses show what kind of panic the owner has experienced here, the wide open wooden doors, scratches and blood stains, make Xu Yichen seem to have returned to reality.

However, the Demon Hunter had no enemies in his senses, and he walked along the deserted road for nearly forty minutes, until he reached the gates and walls of Storm's End, visible to the naked eye.

The sight in the distance made Xu Yichen frown, the majestic city wall of the Wind Breath Fort was almost covered with flesh and blood, and there were several tentacles that looked extremely hideous, more than ten meters long, and full of barbs growing savagely at the city gate.

The entire city gate was filled with human flesh and bones, like organs pulled out of the body.

This also explains why the buildings outside the city are empty, or rather empty.
