Chen Mian opened her eyes, finished her cultivation, and her mana value became 92.8, she and Xiao Hei each ate a god berry prepared in advance, checked their equipment, and entered the task.

In the mission transit space, Chen Mian read the mission introduction.

"Ghost Woman Gathering: The three Green Ghost Woman are scattered in the vibrant Green Light Forest, and the surrounding environment has changed over time after the Ghost Woman settled, the trees are twisted, and the poisonous fog is filled, which will inevitably affect the entire Green Light Forest over time.

Three days later, on the night of the full moon, the ghost women will hold a meeting under the severed tree on the east side of the forest to exchange information.

Please sabotage the Ghost Woman assembly and kill at least one Ghost Woman. ”

Chen Mian noticed that the green ghost woman mentioned in the quest, and she guessed that this ghost woman might also have a different kind, and with doubts, she chose to start the quest.

On the periphery of the ancient forest, a deadly tree with a severed head is particularly conspicuous, the trunk can only be encircled by three people, the upper part is truncated, revealing the empty heart of the tree, and the withered branches with the thickness of the forearm stretch out in an extraordinarily twisted posture.

There was a boulder under the dead tree, the surrounding ground was bare, there was not a single weed, and the dense forest a few meters away seemed to be two worlds.

Chen Mian was standing in the shade of the dead trees at this time, the dense grass was about as high as her knees. Looking at the dead tree from afar, Chen Mian almost immediately confirmed that this was the place where the ghost woman would meet three days later, which was really indescribably weird.

She didn't rush to the area around the dead tree, worried about leaving traces, "Xiao Hei, you go and see if there is anything wrong with that tree, and take a look underground." ”

Xiao Hei nodded and disappeared in front of Chen Mian, and soon Chen Mian received Xiao Hei's spiritual message, "Huh? The tree was hollow, with a small pit at the bottom, and a lot of human bones were scattered around it. ”

Chen Mian thought for a moment, these white bones might be humans who had strayed into the ghost woman's gathering, but there was nothing left except the white bones.

After Xiao Hei finished probing, he obediently returned to the satchel, Chen Mian rode a broom, took off in the air, and flew over the dead tree, at this time Chen Mian also saw the hollow trunk that Xiao Hei said, the black and swarthy hole.

In three days, the ghost women will gather here, and there are still a few days left, Chen Mian plans to explore the surrounding environment first.

The green light forest is very wide, Chen Mian has ascended to a high school of several hundred meters, except for the town not far from the edge of the forest not far to the east, the rest of the direction is green.

The town was much more prosperous than the town of Black Sand that he had encountered before at the edge of the desert, with at least two main streets that crossed, and Chen Mian watched from above for a while before landing on the edge of the desert forest outside the town.

She quickly cast 18 Level 1 Summoning Allies in quick succession, summoning 18 falcons, noting their real names, and then ordering them to choose a location to explore the interior of the forest, focusing on large areas of dead trees or shrouded in mist.

After reaching level 3, the creatures summoned by the first-level summoning ally technique can stay for half an hour, and the time is still very short, so Chen Mian asked them to just choose a direction to explore without returning.

As long as they didn't die halfway, according to the real names they left behind, Chen Mian could summon them again and report back on the results of the investigation when the time came.

There is a more advanced second-level summoning ally technique in the priest's level 2 skill, and the summoned creatures are stronger than the first-level summoning ally, due to the large consumption of the second-level spell mana, and the stay time of the summon is very short, it is not of much use for the time being, and Chen Mian has not learned it yet. This kind of scouting task can be done by falcons.

After the falcons flew away, Chen Mian returned to the annex space, spent 20 minutes recovering his mana, and then used magic to disguise himself into a young man dressed slightly more flamboyant than the average townsman.

She wants to find out the news, but she doesn't want to reveal her identity as a mage and alarm the ghost woman who doesn't know where, so it's more appropriate to pretend to be an ordinary person who looks a little richer.

There were guards outside the town, Chen Mian used stealth to enter the town, found an alley with no people, exited the stealth state, and walked out as if nothing happened.

Chen Mian specializes in finding shops on the side of the road, taking advantage of the fact that there are no other customers, pretending to ask for prices, perceiving the information of the shopkeeper, as long as there is no abnormality, she will charm humans and inquire about the news.

She rarely uses the spell of seduction of humans, which can make human beings defenseless, treat her as a bosom friend, and reduce the difficulty of inquiring about news.

Hypnosis has a similar effect, but the recipient will be more sluggish, and it seems that there is no natural effect of seducing humans, and in the crowded streets, seducing humans is more hidden.

Chen Mian mainly inquired about whether there were any missing babies in the town, miscarriages of pregnant women, and especially news that the children had been missing for a period of time and were found again. There is also news of the dead tree in the forest and the ghost woman.

She was very careful, only picking shops that had no customers, observing the owner's attributes in advance, and only asking after confirming that she could successfully cast a spell.

There are not many such shops, and none of the three shopkeepers who asked have heard of the ghost woman, but they all know a lot about the legend of the forest fairy that circulates in the town.

Legend has it that if you enter the Green Light Forest on the night of the full moon, if you are lucky, you can meet the forest fairy, and if you give the right gift, the fairy will lead him into the beautiful fairy kingdom and become a resident of the fairy kingdom, and will no longer be affected by birth, old age, sickness and death.

In Chen Mian's opinion, this legend may be the bait of the ghost woman, isn't entering the fairy kingdom like dying, and you will never come back.

However, the three shopkeepers who asked were not interested in entering the fairy country, and Aunt Susan of the fruit shop thought that everything was compared, and it was the bitterness of life that brought out the sweetness, and if it was always sweet, there was nothing to be happy about.

The old gentleman of the bookstore felt that birth, old age, sickness and death were something that everyone had to experience, and he didn't want to escape, and the fairy kingdom might not be so good.

However, Ms. Aurora of the piano shop felt that the so-called fairy country had no return, and there was no family and friends to accompany her, which was no different from dying.

Aurora knows the town's children well, teaching music lessons every Friday at the town's grammar school, but she doesn't know whose children have gone missing recently.

Grammar Primary School is the only primary school in the town, and after Chen Mian got the news, he immediately prepared to go to the school to have a look.

As soon as she walked out of the piano shop, a little girl who only reached Chen Mian's shoulder passed by her, "Mom, I'm back", as she spoke, she jumped into Aurora's arms.

"Jessica, it's so big, don't be naughty", Aurora said admonishment, but her eyes were full of concern, and she gently helped Jessica straighten her skirt.

Chen Mian's pupils shrank and he frowned slightly.

"Real name: Jessica

Race: Green Ghost Woman

Health: 100%

Attributes: Strength 9, Constitution 11, Agility 13, Intelligence 12, Perception 12"

This is the child who was replaced by the ghost woman, Chen Mian stopped at the door, "Is this your daughter?" ”

"Yes, Jessica, say hello to my brother", Aurora patted Jessica, and Jessica politely greeted Chen Mian.

"Jessica is so good, how old is she?" Chen Mian asked with a smile.
