"Buzz!"

The concussion of the arrow as it tore through the air shook the nearby leaves off the branches and slowly fell down.

The crow, which had been hiding in the shade of the trees, was shot down by the demon hunters, and its small scarlet eyes were covered with ominous lumps.

This was a crow that had devoured the corpse of an infected person, and if it weren't for Xu Yichen's extra sensitivity to the taste of chaos, he wouldn't have discovered this little thing.

Stepping on the crow's corpse with his foot, he pulled the arrow out of the crow's corpse.

Xu Yichen had given up the useless work of incinerating the plague vector, and as he got closer and closer to Storm's End, the more infected people became in the surrounding forests.

Most of the infected are animals, and although carnivores consciously avoid infected carcasses, they are still suffering from the contamination of water sources.

And the appearance of human infections from time to time makes demon hunters extra careful.

Judging from the clothing, these people are all traveling merchants who walk back and forth, and the weapons and armor of Wind's End have always been synonymous with good quality and low price, whether it is a powerful sea merchant or a small fighter, they all want a piece of the pie.

The former could transport this armed equipment to the Old World and sell it to various principalities in batches, while the latter preferred to take the risk and try their luck with a small number of weapons to the barbarian tribes in the southern part of the Far South Continent.

On the map, he was less than three days away from Storm's End, and along the way he encountered twenty-nine human infected, finding no trace of the survivors.

This is very abnormal, the businessmen who dare to shuttle alone in the Black Forest to do business are all guys who have a certain degree of confidence in their skills, and they should not be wiped out.

As the Demon Hunter advances, a vague path gradually appears in the forest, proving that he has entered the radiant range of the city of Storm's End.

Xu Yichen felt as if he had penetrated an invisible film, and he was immediately ready to fight.

But the expected attack didn't happen, but the quest prompt from the system jumped out as soon as the demon hunter stepped on the path.

"Storm's Rest in the Shadows": You pick up Jared Harris's journal on the road and learn about the tragedy at Storm's End. But instead of frightening you, it stoke your anger, and you decide to head to Storm's End to once again nip Nurgle's plot in its cradle.

There are many opportunities to turn back along the way, but you still stubbornly believe that you can solve the problem on your own. Now, your wish has been granted, either to settle the Storm's End Rebellion once and for all, or to become part of the army of the undead.

The quest arrives with several tips:

"You've walked through the 'wall of nature.'"

"You have been exposed to polluted air, and you are being affected by the plague 'Cancer of Eternal Life'."

"You are infected with the plague 'Cancer of Eternal Life'...... Begin to determine the constitution...... Detected that the player has a special entry——, you are immune to the effects of the plague 'Cancer of Eternal Life'. ”

Xu Yichen only hesitated for a second, and immediately turned around, only to find that a pale green energy barrier had unconsciously appeared behind him.

Nature's wall?

Xu Yichen felt that this 'wall of nature' sounded like it was made by the druids, and he gently pressed the energy barrier, feeling a trace of resistance, as if he would penetrate this barrier with a force.

Demon hunters speculate that this 'wall of nature' of unknown scope is likely the work of the druid's organization 'Ring of Pastoral Trees'.

Although he didn't see any druids along the way, considering that this energy barrier was built around the entire Storm's End, it was understandable that the druids were lacking in skills.

This 'wall of nature' kept the plague-filled air within the confines of Storm's End, and while it could not stop the passage of living creatures, it also slowed down the spread of the plague as much as possible.

The Demon Hunters were impressed by the druids they had never met, and compared to the sluggishness of the Corrupted Tree last time, this time they were simply untouchable.

Maybe it's Master Garst who has returned to the Ring of Pastoral Trees and become a true leader?

The Demon Hunter remembered the ruthless character who dared to grow a man-eating plant in his body, and as a druid, Master Gast's actions were truly eclectic.

Just when Xu Yichen was studying the 'Wall of Nature', a fiery figure rushed out from the depths of the forest, half-human, half-horse form, looking a little out of breath because of the long run.

When he saw the humans inside the barrier, the apparently female centaur's face suddenly changed, as if he was annoyed by something, but he quickly turned a cold face and pointed the wooden spear in his hand at the demon hunter.

"Human, you're dead, I'm sorry, but I can't let you out of this wall again!" The centaur's chest was wrapped in canvas to block the feminine features, and the rest of the place was indifferent: "Go ahead, there may be your kind there, and although death is still inevitable, you don't have to face it alone!" ”

Xu Yichen withdrew his palms, spread his hands, signaled that he was not hostile, and took a few steps back: "You are druids?" ”

The centaur didn't speak, but looked at the demon hunter warily, the wooden spear in his hand seemingly ready to strike at any moment.

"You're trying to solve the plague in Storm's End?" Xu Yichen stood in place, calmly facing the centaur, he was very skeptical that the other party's weapon could really cause damage to himself: "I know a druid named Gast, he comes from a druid organization called the Ring of the Shepherd. ”

When the centaur heard Gast's name, there was a slight change, which made Xu Yichen sure that the other party must know Master Gast.

"I have no ill will, I worked with Master Gast to deal with the Corrupt Tree in the forest." The Demon Hunter said to the centaur, "I am the Demon Hunter apprentice, Xu Yichen, a native of Seris. ”

"Impossible! Master Gast told us the name, but he's dead! The centaur scraped around the ground uneasily: "Master Gast himself is presiding over the operation of the 'Wall of Nature', and your lies will not last long!" ”

The centaur kept examining the appearance of the demon hunter: "Moreover, even if you are the person Master Gast said, I can't let you out, you are already infected, until we come up with a solution to the plague, whether it is for you or for me, or for this forest, it is better for you to stay inside!" ”
