The Ring of the Sage trembled slightly, as if something wanted to come out.

Tianhuo stopped, looked at the Wensheng Ring suspiciously, and saw a ring crashing in it, wanting to leave the Wensheng Ring.

"Nine Phoenix Rings!" Tianhuo's eyes froze, and then a deep joy welled up in his heart, just a few days ago, he came out of the mouth of a horse leader, the Nine Phoenix Ring is actually an artifact, but it was damaged.

And right now, the abnormal movement of the Nine Phoenix Ring let Tianhuo know that the opportunity has come!

As soon as the Nine Phoenix Ring was taken out, it actually flew to the side quickly, Tianhuo hurriedly stepped out and held it in his hand, but there was a huge force in his hand, and he continued to work hard in that direction to break free from Tianhuo's palm, as if something was attracting the Nine Phoenix Ring.

Following the direction of the strength of the Nine Phoenix Rings, Tianhuo walked forward, but in his heart he was expecting that if the attributes of the artifact were restored, the requirements for use would naturally disappear, and when the time came, he would have one more powerful piece of equipment.

After a short walk, he had left the square and entered an alley, surrounded by dilapidated houses, and ragged civilians were busy with each other, looking a little like the slum where the fire had been before.

Tianhuo looked at the surrounding situation, and felt a little strange in his heart, there were no such slums in Tianyan City, it seemed that the conditions of Youlin City could not be compared with Tianyan City.

The rest of the Youlin City was brightly lit, but here, it seemed too dim, and suddenly, the strength of the Nine Phoenix Ring turned, and he stepped into a large compound with the heavenly fire.

There were dozens of people in the compound, and as soon as they saw the heavenly fire entering, the compound, which was still lively before, suddenly quieted down. Ragged NPCs stared at Skyfire. Or doubts. Or nervousness.

And at this moment, the Nine Phoenix Ring in Tianhuo's hand pointed directly at a bad old man under the old tree in the center of the compound.

The old man's eyes were slightly closed, half-lying and leaning under the old tree, not moving, as if he had not noticed the arrival of Tianhuo at all. His messy hair and dirt-covered face made it impossible for Skyfire to see his face.

Before and after Tianhuo walked to the old man, the power on the Nine Phoenix Ring also disappeared, obviously, this is its destination, and the Nine Phoenix Ring must be inseparable from the old man in front of him.

Tianhuo looked at the Nine Phoenix Ring, and then at the old man, and affirmed in his heart, since the Nine Phoenix Ring led him here, it must have something to do with the old man in front of him. Perhaps, the solution to the Nine Phoenix Ring is on the old man.

"Senpai!" Tianhuo said softly. I want to wake up the old man with his eyes slightly closed.

"This lord of the city, he has been like this for many years, he has never opened his mouth, and he has never moved, if it weren't for the kind neighbors who occasionally gave him something to eat, I'm afraid he would have starved to death." A middle-aged man walked over and said with some nervousness as he looked at the City Lord Medal on Tianhuo's chest.

Tianhuo looked at the old man in surprise when he heard this, he hadn't moved for many years? Isn't that counterintuitive?

"Who is he?" Tianhuo nodded slightly at the middle-aged man and asked.

The middle-aged man looked at the old man in embarrassment, and then looked at Tianhuo, "This...... I'm sorry, we don't know, I'm afraid no one here knows what his name is. ”

"He only wakes up every time he smells food, very strange old man." The middle-aged man continued.

Tianhuo was stunned in his heart, he was skeptical of the middle-aged man's words, and took out a bun, this thing, since he bought a hundred in 9527 Village, Tianhuo has not eaten much, and now there are dozens left in the Wensheng Ring.

Now take it out, the bun is still steaming, this is the benefit of storage space, sure enough, as the bun appeared, the old man suddenly opened his cloudy eyes and stared directly at the bun in Tianhuo's hand.

Seeing this, Tianhuo leaned over the bun and asked, "Senior, do you know the Nine Phoenix Ring?" ”

The old man snatched the bun, devoured the bun in a few bites, and then leaned back, leaned against the old tree and closed his eyes again, but there was no response.

Tianhuo frowned, from the old man's eyes, Tianhuo only saw turbidity, there was no Nine Phoenix Ring at all and there was some fluctuation, for a while Tianhuo was puzzled, could it be that he had found the wrong one?

But the Nine Phoenix Ring is the old man in front of him, there will be no mistake!

After thinking about it, Tianhuo took out a bun again, and the old man's eyes opened again, but Tianhuo didn't rush to hand it over, and asked again: "Senior, do you know the Nine Phoenix Ring?" ”

As he spoke, Tianhuo also took out the Nine Phoenix Ring with one hand and handed it to the old man, but unexpectedly, the old man was still staring at the bun without squinting, and was indifferent to the Nine Phoenix Ring at all.

Tianhuo raised his eyebrows and handed over the buns one by one, wanting to see how many buns this old man had to eat before he could say!

The old man did not refuse, almost ate dozens of buns one by one, his stomach was like a bottomless pit, dozens of buns under the stomach, there was not the slightest swelling.

"What an amazing amount of food!" The middle-aged man on the side couldn't help but speak.

Tianhuo was also shocked in his heart, dozens of buns! Two at a time would have been enough for himself, but the old man had eaten dozens of them one after another.

Seeing that Tianhuo didn't continue to take out the bun, the old man glanced at the middle-aged man on the side casually, and then his eyes closed slightly, and the sound of calm and steady breathing came, and he didn't open his eyes anymore even if Tianhuo called.

Tianhuo thought for a moment, glanced at the middle-aged man on the side, hooked the corners of his mouth without a trace, and said, "This uncle, I'm not familiar with the neighborhood, can you help me buy some buns?" ”

As he spoke, Tianhuo took out a handful of gold coins.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed down to take the gold coin and ran towards the outside of the compound.

Watching the middle-aged man leave, Tianhuo smiled mysteriously and said to the old man: "Senior, he is gone, no one is spying on you, right?" ”

The old man's eyes opened suddenly, his eyes were no longer cloudy as before, but instead flashed with fine light, stared at the entrance of the compound for a moment, and saw the figure of the middle-aged man, before he moved his gaze to Tianhuo, "The kid is quite smart, how can you see it?" ”

Tianhuo smiled, the middle-aged man hurriedly followed when he saw him walking in front of the old man, looking a little nervous about his identity as the city lord, but then he didn't have the slightest hint of nervousness, and Tianhuo secretly praised in his heart at that time, you must know that there are dozens of people in the compound, and he is the only one who dares to step forward.

And then the old man glanced at the middle-aged man without a trace, but it fell into Tianhuo's eyes, which made Tianhuo think about it, and after thinking about it, he understood that it was not the old man who pretended to be crazy and stupid, but because of the relationship between the middle-aged man, he didn't dare to speak.

Therefore, Tianhuo pushed aside the middle-aged man, and sure enough, he was right.

"Senior, why is he spying on you?" Skyfire asked.

The old man shook his head and said, "How about doing something for me?" If it is done, I will restore the Nine Phoenix Ring for you with my own hands. ”

"Senior, please speak!" Tianhuo naturally has no reason to refuse, and he came here for the Nine Phoenix Ring!

"Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing, it's just a little troublesome, there is a secluded forest in the extreme west of the secluded forest city, there are many secluded forest tree demons living in it, you go and get 90,000 secluded forest demon roots for me, I can use their power to temporarily recover my ability to move, and when the time comes, I can easily leave here, and the person before can't help me, how?"

"No problem." Tianhuo readily agreed, it was just to collect materials, and it was not difficult for him.

"Ding! System prompt: Congratulations on accepting the request of the old task tree, please check the task panel for details. ”

Mission: Tree Elder's Entrustment.

Difficulty: Grade A.

Reward: Unknown.

Task Punishment: None.

Description: Go to the secluded forest in the far west and collect 90,000 secluded forest demon roots for the tree elder.

Closing the task panel, Tianhuo hugged his fist at the old man, "It shouldn't take too long, old tree, then take your leave." ”

As he spoke, he saw that the old man's eyes were slightly closed again, and it didn't take long for the middle-aged man to come back, holding layers of steamers and placing them in front of Tianhuo, "My lord, there is only so much." ”

Tianhuo nodded, pretended to pick up a bun and sent it to Shu Lao, but Shu Lao didn't make any action this time, and he didn't react to the bun handed over to him at all.

"Alas, he may be full, uncle, I'll try it again another day, you can share these buns!" Tianhuo turned his head helplessly and said to the middle-aged man, then shook his head and left the compound.

The middle-aged man looked at Tianhuo in confusion, and then looked at Shu Lao, who had his eyes closed as usual, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Leaving the compound, Tianhuo walked towards the teleportation array, and those players who sold shared maps were generally next to the teleportation array, as long as there was a map of the secluded forest after sharing, they could directly teleport over.

And Tianhuo is only level 10 at the moment, and the skill range is only 50 meters, and it will take a lot of time to collect 90,000 materials, but in this process, the level will definitely be greatly improved.

"The map of Youlin City is shared, as long as ten gold coins, hurry up if you need it, it's going offline!" A few players were doing business next to the teleportation array, and when they saw Tianhuo wearing a novice suit, their eyes showed a look of surprise.

They didn't know that although Tianhuo's novice trick clothes looked the same as the novice clothes, their attributes were very different.

"Bring me a copy, there's a secluded forest, right?" Tianhuo walked up to the stunned players and asked.

Several players glanced at each other and said with a smile: "This brother, you are talking about the city map of Youlin City, right?" ”

Tianhuo shook his head, "It's not Youlin City, it's Youlin, the map in the westernmost part." ”

"Haha, this brother, you may be mistaken, we have opened all the maps in the area of Youlin City, and there is no map of Youlin at all." Several players looked at Skyfire as if they were laughing at it.

Tianhuo frowned, the task said it was there, then there must be, and these players who make money by opening maps didn't find out, could it be that the forest is a hidden map? (To be continued......)
