After the guidance of a series of tasks of the system mother, Nanyan and his party finally understood the current situation of Huotan Town. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason why the former "Cultivation Holy Land" has become the current ghost town is that the culprit is the seventh-order demon beast that appeared a few days ago - the Red Crystal Fire Dragon Beast!
This is a wild beast with advanced intelligence, so it is also called a demon beast, the demon beast can't help but be smarter than the wild beast, and often can transform into a human form, in today's human society, there are a very small number of human beings are demon beasts disguised, but ordinary people can't distinguish them.
What's more, ordinary demon beasts are at least desolate beasts above the sixth order, and this kind of strength can be regarded as a leader in the human world, even if it is exposed, it is not easy to kill people or something?
Half a month ago, a series of terrible events suddenly occurred in Huotan Town, the town's boys and girls disappeared one after another, and tragedies were unfolding every day.
Even though the parents stayed up all night to watch over them, the children disappeared one by one.
In just a few days, no less than 100 children disappeared in the town, and this strange incident caused panic among the locals, and the originally bustling and lively town gradually became depressed and gloomy, and the residents of the town were all in danger and did not dare to open the door to welcome customers in the daytime.
This matter attracted the attention of the Hunters' Guild and the government, and the imperial court and the Hunters' Guild sent many people to investigate.
Soon after, both sides discovered a strange place on the Flame Mountain, and looking down at the crater from the top of the Flame Mountain, they could find a deep cave dozens of meters directly below the crater.
This cave has never been discovered before, and this discovery shocked everyone, so the court and the hunters' guild each gathered their men and horses, and each sent a special team through the rope, down the crater, to explore the mysterious volcanic cavern.
In the end, neither team was able to make it back.
The next day, with an earth-shattering roar, a dragon covered in flames flew out of the deep cavern.
When it spreads its wings, it is shrouded in darkness for several kilometers in a radius, and every time it flapps its wings, a scorching wave of fire sweeps across the land, and anything that has form is reduced to ashes.
Later, a well-informed hunter recognized the true face of this fire dragon, which was actually a seventh-order demon beast that only existed in the hinterland of the Land of Flames-the Red Crystal Fire Dragon Beast!
Soon after the appearance of the dragon beast, the clothes and parts of the bodies of the children who had gone missing some time ago were found near the crater.
In the end, everything is clear!
The missing children were all stolen by the dragon beast and used as a tonic.
After learning of this, the local hunters' guild cooperated with the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the ferocious fire dragon beasts, and this encirclement and suppression, a total of more than 3,000 people were launched, and the siege was carried out three times in a row, all of which ended in failure, and the officials and civilians were seriously killed and injured.
At this point, the population of the town plummeted overnight, and many people fled here with their families overnight, and those who originally planned to come here to practice also broke off their thoughts and did not dare to come again.
The troops were broken many times in a row, and the pressure on the government gradually increased, and for a while, there was nothing to do with the fire dragon beast.
The Hunter Guild has released a heaven-level mission to recruit strong people above the sub-level to join the crusade team, and so far, only a few people have been recruited, which is not enough to make a comeback.
In such a situation, Huotan Town was shrouded in a dark shadow, always worried that the fire dragon beast that inhabited the crater would come down and attack.
Fortunately, in the past few days, except for the occasional dragon roar, it has been quiet.
At this time, Nan Yan and other groups visited.
[New mission, visit the mayor's family, ask him about the latest situation, and the task rewards 13,000 experience.] γ
When entering the town, after completing a few pick-up tasks, the system mother issued such a task, guiding Nanyan to meet the mayor.
So Nan Yan announced with a curious expression on the faces of her little aunt Chihiro and the little demon girl Aya'er, "Let's go and meet the mayor, maybe we will find something." β
β¦β¦
The mayor's house is located in one of the most luxurious areas in the center of town, and the reception sign outside the courtyard reads "Mayor's House", which is surprisingly easy to find.
Nan Yan and others looked at the gate of the courtyard for a while, and found that the courtyard was in a mess, a stone mill fell to the ground, and a laundry basin and bamboo basket were poured horizontally and vertically next to an ancient well.
Apparently the owner of this house has not lived a normal life for a long time.
"Gu Ji, you sneak over first and explore the reality."
"Yes, master!"
Bone Ji sneaked into the small mansion in front of her in minutes, and turned back after a few minutes.
"There are two people in the room, both in their fifties, the old man is boiling water in the hall, and the old woman seems to be ill and lying on the bed in the room."
"I see, it seems to be the mayor and his wife?" Nanyan nodded, and then pulled the bell at the doorβa doorbell-like device.
Jingle Bell ~ Ding Dong ~
After several rings in a row, a small crack opened in the door of the house opposite, and an old face full of wrinkles poked out of the crack in the door, "...... are you?" β
"We are travelers who have come here to practice, and you are the mayor of this Huotan Town, right?"
"Traveler?" The old mayor coughed, opened the door for half a minute, and waved his hand, "Haven't you heard that Huotan Town has not been peaceful recently, and the side of the Flame Mountain is even more dangerous, I advise you to go back early, don't put yourself in danger......"
"Ahem...... Wife, who is it...... Could it be that July is back? β
As the old man spoke, there was a coughing sound from the old woman in the next room, and her voice seemed very eager, as if she was expecting something.
Hearing her words, the old mayor's face darkened for a while, and he turned back to the room in a soft tone and said, "It's not July, it's a group of travelers, you have a good rest, I advise them to leave early." β
After appeasing the old woman in the house, the old mayor came out of the house and stood in front of the courtyard gate to look at Nanyan and the others.
His eyes were attracted by the legion of girls behind Nan Yan for a few seconds, he had lived in Huotan Town for generations, and he thought that he had seen all kinds of travelers, but he didn't expect to be able to witness so many beautiful and refined beauties at one time today.
Fortunately, he didn't have any lust, he was just surprised, and soon regained his cold face before.
"I'm the mayor of Huotan Town, yes, call me Lao He, looking at your outfits, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary traveler?" The old mayor glanced at Nanyan, who was surrounded by all kinds of beauties, and said, "Listen to me, leave quickly, this place is no longer suitable for cultivation...... Hey......"
After speaking, the old mayor He was ready to turn around and go back to the house.
Nan Yan hurriedly stopped him, "Bridge bean sack!" Mayor! β
Depend on! Hold it away! This boss is still looking for you to hand over the task!
"We are rescuers invited by the Hunters' Guild to deal with that fire dragon beast!"
In a hurry, Nan Yan casually made a reason.
ββ¦β¦ What the? β
The old mayor turned his head in an instant, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, his jaw trembled all the time, and he confirmed again, "You just said...... What the? β
"I said we were monkeys...... Oh no, it's a rescuer from the Hunters' Guild! β
"Hahahaha!" Now Lao He was happy, he snorted, "I don't know how thick the sky is!" How can you little dolls defeat that dragon...... Don't make fun of the old man, and leave quickly! β
"Hey, it seems that if you don't pretend to be a force, this task can't be delivered." Nan Yan helped his forehead, and then said to the mage girl on the side, "Farina, show him, just use Comet Storm!" β
"Okay, master~" Falina licked her pink lips seusefully, then took out the staff from the backpack space and shouted: "Comet Storm!" β
This skill is instantaneous, no need to read the note, very convenient!
As her mana was released, in the blink of an eye, the heavens and the earth were different colors, and seven huge frost comets fell from the sky, boom-boom-crash into a clearing in front of her, and the cold wind swayed in all directions, and the earth shook with it.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding area became covered with ice and snow, and several deep craters appeared in the place where the comet had just been hit.
β¦β¦
Seeing this scene in front of him, the old mayor almost dropped his jaw:
ββ¦β¦ That's the old man's vegetable garden! Look what good you've done! β
