At night, the cold mist filled the town of Oak, and the witnesses, led by the mayor Orlov, felt the chill that soaked into their bones, despite being dressed in thick cloth to protect them from the cold and staying outside the house for a long time. Many farmers with numb feet stamped their feet vigorously, moving their bodies that were about to stiffen, and their voices of dissatisfaction grew louder and louder, staring at the evil fox more and more, adding additional suspicion and distrust to their glaring.

Temothys, who was under the watchful eye of Knight Aldrich Triss, was repelled by a cold gaze: "Don't look at me like that, the melon fields will definitely change, and you should concentrate on dealing with those pumpkin monsters then." ”

"Makes sense, you're right, I almost forgot about that. Aldrich pulled out a bundle of three strands of thin rattan rope from the 'sock' he had fastened to his belt, and made a ring for himself, which he held with a loose slipknot.

"Here, obediently put it around your neck. Tris took the noose and shook it at the fox for it to get in.

Temothys angrily refused: "You don't trust me, do you want to tease and humiliate me with this?"

"Honestly, I don't know anything about you, though Crow Cronis has said a lot of bad things about you all afternoon, but I know it's all its prejudice, and that's why I've been kind to you. But, Temothys, how do you repay me? In a short quarter of an hour, you tried to leave my sight, fifteen times, an average of one every minute. Well, your credit is bankrupt to me, and you owe me a lot of debt. ”

The fox's cheekiness was very thick-skinned, and he was unaware of the knight's ridicule, and with a roll of his eyes, he thought of an idea again, and continued to defend himself: "Aha! I'm just walking back and forth in this tiny room, moving my limbs that you almost tore off. Oh my God, what a punishment you forcibly used your brute force to dislocate my limbs. Also, the punch you hit me in the chest almost crushed my ribs. Oh my God, my heart almost stopped beating, and your noble and selfless life was snuffed out by your mistake. Of course, I know it's not your fault, it's just that you've been confused by ignorant and stupid farmers who can't tell right from wrong and can't see the truth. I have decided to forgive you graciously, after all, everyone is at fault. ”

Tris couldn't help but smile, he raised his left hand and showed his wound to the evil fox: "Remember this? ”

Temosis' tail swept across the floor, he raised his right paw to cover his eyes, his head lowered slightly, and looked to the ground to his left with a look of shame: "That wound is my wild instinct, who told you to light a bonfire and smoke my sanity with thick smoke." God, my teeth and claws, bound to be stained with their blood and venom when dealing with the zombies roaming the wilderness, are inevitable, but they are also a powerful testament to my good deeds. Now it's different from before, no one knows about doing good deeds in obscurity, and I don't take it seriously, and isn't it all my credit that the townsfolk who have benefited, the farmers of Oak Town, who have survived in peace until now? ”

"Maybe, maybe. Aldridge was perfunctory, he had plenty of patience, and as a hunter-turned-knight, he was much better than the impetuous farmer outside.

Towards the end of the night, when the farmers who were witnesses were in a state of agitation, and when they were about to burn, the terrible night wind let out a piercing scream, and then the glow of green phosphorescence like fireflies spread from afar, and the spiritual life danced in the wind, falling in twos and threes in the fields, blending into the ripe pumpkins.

"Uh......h Whew!"

A trumpet-like moo came from the direction of the dead woods, and when the townspeople didn't know why, the melon fields gradually lit up with green flames, a hazy gray mist, and from time to time a hideous ghost swept by, haunting the pumpkins that burned with all the ashes, slowly unraveling the nightmarish night.

Orlov couldn't help but clench the wooden hammer given by the blacksmith Zatan, "Lord of All Souls, Jack the Pumpking, son of the withered vine!"

There are more than 100 ripe pumpkins in five acres of fields, and the burning green phosphorus flames rise to the sky, like piles of bonfires, gradually connecting into a sea of green fire.

Temothys, the fox with a rattan rope around his neck, almost dragged Aldrich out of the keeper's hut, and when he saw the transforming pumpkin monster, he shrieked excitedly, "Proof!"

Then the claw pulled hard, tearing the unsightly rope, and Tris didn't stop it at all, and the system suddenly jumped out of a hidden quest interface.

"Oak Town's field plague, strangle at least thirty pumpkin monsters to relieve the pressure on the townspeople...... Grants Oak Town favorability and randomly rewards spell cards. ”

'It's a bonus! Spell? The knight's original repair technique, I don't know why he didn't bring it into the secret realm of the lake, but he wants to know if the spell rewarded by the system can be brought out.

"It's worth a try. Aldridge clenched his hands into fists and collided hard, and his whole body and mind were in combat mode.

However, someone was slightly faster than him, and Orlov, the master of the Synagogue who served the King of the Reindeer, saw that the Pumpkin Monster was in a weakened period, and immediately pressed the prestige and the status of the mayor that he had accumulated over the years, and ordered the farmers to deal with the monsters with pitchforks and nail rakes

"Remember, behind us are family members who are more important than our own lives, and if we retreat now and choose to escape, will they still be able to live?"

Loude, the farmer who had suffered the most losses, was so excited by these words that his blood boiled, his brain was hot, and he immediately rushed forward with the nail rake in both hands, and the action of thousands of hoes and exercises was vigorously built forward, and the pumpkin monster that was about to take shape was about to be crushed head-on.

The green flames flickered a few times and were completely extinguished, and the ground was only cracked pumpkin fragments and fishy slurry juice, interspersed with a ghostly light, and then a sigh of nonexistent sound sounded all around.

Seeing such an easy pumpkin monster to deal with, the farmers were greatly encouraged, and swarmed up with pitchforks and nail rakes, and after failing to come a few more times, the children of vines in front of them were almost wiped out more than twenty.

"Let's get on!" Aldrich Triss rushed forward, and the fox Temothys and Crow Cronis heard the cry and pounced on the pumpkin that was speeding up its metamorphosis.

Farmer Lud crossed the ridge of the field, pounced on the withered vines to gather the pumpkin monster that had gathered into a body, used the five-toothed nail rake to kill one, and chose the next target, just gasping for breath and lifting the nail rake, suddenly a dead vine came to the sky, wrapped the nail teeth and firmly restrained him, making him unable to move and fall into a wrestling.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a nearby pumpkin monster completed its transformation, waist-high, with a vicious and ugly face the size of a millstone, suddenly raised his hand and rolled it a few times, and the three dead vines hanging from his elbow arm automatically extended and wound into a four-meter-long whip.

"Smack!"

The whip struck Ludd's shoulder, making a loud sound, and the wound suddenly opened flesh, and Ludd, who was unable to defend himself, suddenly couldn't hold the handle of the nail rake, and such a sharp weapon was taken away by the pumpkin monster who wrestled with him.

"Squat!"

The sharp-eyed Tris found out about the danger and immediately rushed to the rescue, comparing the danger of the two monsters that had completed their transformation, and kicked the pumpkin monster with a side kick that had just pulled its body up.

Fortunately, Farmer Louder bent down and squatted, I don't know if he heard Aldrich's words, or if he couldn't bear the pain of the wound, he always just avoided Tris's attack, and inadvertently completed a 'tacit' cooperation.

"Boom!" The pumpkin monster, who held the nail rake in both hands and didn't know how to use it, was kicked by the knight with all his strength, and smashed the vital grinding disc on the spot.

"System prompt: Oak Town Field Plague (Quest), destroy 1 pumpkin monster. The current progress is 1/30. ”

"Smack!" the whip pumpkin monster did not sit idle, and with a vicious slash, the snake-like whip hit Aldrich's back, but unexpectedly made a sound of gold and iron.

'Fortunately, I would have put on the armor a long time ago, level 5 defense, a total of 25 defense points, otherwise this time it would have been a big loss. ’

"Fragile Skin (Purified), Level 5 Skeleton Knight Exclusive Armor, Refined Armor, Black Iron Texture, Defense +18, Adds 3 False Health Points. (Lifting the Dress Restriction for the Living)"

The life point was still full of 15 points, and Tris, who turned around quickly, grabbed the whip that shook up, and pulled it hard, directly pulling the pumpkin monster off the ground and losing its body and flying through the air.

"Let's go back home!"

The roaring pattern of the bear beast in the skill bar is triggered, and the power of the violent bear makes the knight's fist destructive as the side kick of the right leg, but the son of the vine is not an incompetent person waiting to die, the dead vine on his chest is parted to the sides, and the head of the grinding disc suddenly sinks down, avoiding Aldrich's fatal heartfelt blow.

"Crackle!"

The top half of the pumpkin monster, the lower third of Guati was shattered and taken away by the knight's fist, and the dark green flames accelerated to burn and disperse, and the life points of the children of the vines instantly dropped to dangerous values.

"Uh......h Woo!" sobbing and wailing faintly, the dying whip pumpkin monster's broken body suddenly flashed a strange red, and the faint green flames turned dangerously scarlet.

'Not good!' Aldrich, who reacted, immediately realized that a bomb appeared not far away, and immediately threw it far away, into a pile of pumpkin monsters that had not yet completely transformed.

"Bang...... Smack!" The dark green flames spread and exploded, and the unclean and blasphemous power completely destroyed the five pumpkin monsters at the landing point, and the withered vine branches burned out quickly, and sparks splashed everywhere, like fuses.

'It's like a king-sized firecracker!'

Orloff was a little worried when he saw this, "Celebration flowers!" This is the domain of the Lord Reindeer King, but I didn't expect it to be stolen by Pumpkin Jack, the King of All Souls. ’

"The system prompts, Oak Town Field Plague (Mission), destroy 2 pumpkin monsters. Progress 7/30 so far. ”

'What's going on?' I have to kill it myself, but it's going to be fast, almost a third of the way. ’

The fox Temothys was cunning, having dealt with the wild pumpkin monsters of the dead woods before, and although he had not seen this trick against the enemy, he had already smelled danger and hid behind, a little away from the knight. Crow Cronis, who was staring at its every move, was also unharmed, and the two natural beings looked at each other and then turned their heads away from each other.
