Chapter 66: Dryads
The next day, the sun rises
The sunlight dispelled the cold, melted the snow and ice, and brought a little comfort to the injured villagers.
Chu Ce leaned against the big tree and woke up, and there were already many villagers who had gotten up, some of them were cutting trees, some were making furniture, and they were re-establishing camps.
However, without exception, everyone's face is blank about life.
Chu Ce's expression was slightly gloomy, and he silently got off the tree.
He walked to the center of the camp, and immediately many people looked at him, their eyes full of hatred, but no one spoke of provocation.
Under the hostile gaze of everyone, Chu Ce came to the vicinity of Xue Yuanliang, and at this time he was counting and distributing food.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Chu Ce asked.
Xue Yuanliang's face was full of sadness: "Yes, there is a shortage of materials in the camp now, and clothes, quilts, and food are ......."
Speaking of this, Xue Yuanliang paused, and stopped talking.
Chu Ce said, "Uncle Xue, just say it." ”
"Well," Xue Yuanliang pondered for a moment and said, "There are still a lot of supplies in the original camp that I haven't had time to get ......."
Speaking of this, Xue Yuanliang stopped.
The demon only came last night, and I don't know if I'm gone at this time, and it is undoubtedly extremely dangerous to return to the camp.
Chu Ce didn't answer again, if he hadn't absorbed that high-level demon, he might have relied on himself to fly forward to explore, but now that he used his magical powers, he couldn't control his demonic nature, so what else could he talk about?
After thinking about it slightly, Chu Ce asked, "How long can the food last?" ”
"About a week...... But immediately the temperature will get colder, and the bedding will not be enough at all. ”
Chu Ce nodded: "Then I'll go to the camp in three days to take a look." ”
After hearing this, Xue Yuanliang was immediately overjoyed, and said continuously: "Then it will trouble you." ”
After Chu Ce defeated the demons, he didn't dare to put the slightest elder on him now.
And the reason why Chu Ce agreed, firstly, he was really ashamed in his heart, and secondly, he had been out long enough, so he had to return to Sky Wolf City as soon as possible to inform Zhuo Tianyu of the news about the camp, so it was better to take a look along the way.
"I can only hope that the demons will disperse in three days." Chu Ce said secretly in his heart.
Then he received some food, and when he had eaten it, he went to help cut down trees and build a house.
Although many people didn't appreciate it, Chu Ce didn't argue much, just buried himself in cutting down trees with an ink-scale gun.
And just like that, the three days passed in a flash.
"Brother Chu! You're leaving again? I'm going this time too! ”
Hearing the news that Chu Ce was leaving, Sha Chuyue followed reluctantly: "I'm going to Sky Wolf City to see my father!" This time, don't try to dump me! ”
"Chu Yue, the camp needs your help." Chu Ce said softly, "Besides, when I go back to the city this time, it won't be long before I bring supplies back again to help everyone survive the winter." ”
Hearing Chu Ce say this, Sha Chuyue hesitantly glanced at the villagers who were busy, pouted, and turned around and ran away angrily.
Chu Ce shook his head and smiled helplessly, if Sha Chuyue entered the city with him, Sha Anhou's death would be exposed, although the little girl would definitely know about it in the end, but Chu Ce still wanted to hide it for a few more days.
"Let's go."
Shouldering the ink scale gun, Chu Ce said to the murderer on the side.
"Hmm."
The murderer answered, still with the same honest appearance.
It's funny to say, he has helped a lot with his own strength in the past few days, and many people in the camp have taken the lead in accepting him, and they are much better to him than Chu Ce.
The two of them simply brought some dry food and went deep into the mountains, and they were very cautious along the way, relying on the killer's outstanding sense of smell to carefully move in the direction of the camp.
But it turned out that they were too worried, and the journey to the camp was unusually smooth, and the demons had long since dispersed, leaving only devastation.
Chu Ce and the murderer entered the camp and rummaged around for a while, and soon found a lot of useful iron tools, bedding, and a lot of missing food, which they wrapped and tied tightly with hemp rope, and weighed more than 100 kilograms.
"Let's go back now?"
"Don't worry, you look around here again, I'll go to the temple and have a look." Chu Ce said.
The murderer had told him that the exterior of the black house smelled of a foreign object, and he remembered it very well.
At present, it seems that the offering of clothes will not increase divinity or demonic nature, but simply gain strength, and Chu Ce will not let go of such good things.
Now that no one is here, he has acted a lot more rudely, Chu Ce raised the ink scale gun and swept directly towards the black house!
After a few cuts, the nailed wood was removed, revealing the special material underneath.
When the sun shines, it shimmers with a metallic luster, but it is not metal, and it has a tree-like horizontal stripe, which is very strange.
Chu Ce touched his hand and silently activated the idol.
【Tribute: Dryad Remains】
【Blessing: Aoki Jue 1st Floor】
[Whether to offer tribute: Dryad Remains]
It can really be offered!
Chu Ce was overjoyed in his heart and chose to worship without hesitation.
[If the offering fails, the tribute needs to be ownerless.] 】
This sudden hint made Chu Ce stunned, it must be an ownerless thing? Now this thing still has an owner?
He muttered inwardly, thought slightly, and walked into the room.
The house was a mess, the square table had been cut down to the ground, and the corpses of insects had been reduced to dry shells, and fragments of broken dolls were faintly visible among them.
Chu Ce's gaze swept and he quickly locked onto the dead tree in the center of the house.
"The mysterious woman used this tree to manipulate demons and dolls, and there is only one living thing in the vicinity, so she must be the owner of the foreign object."
Chu Ce had a plan in his heart, and without saying a word, he raised the ink scale gun and cut it down towards the dead tree!
At this moment, an anxious cry sounded: "Little friend, slow down!" ”
Chu Ce was stunned for a moment, and looked around vigilantly: "Who is talking?" ”
With his words, a human face slowly condensed on the trunk of the old tree, and it seemed to have a flattering smile: "Little friend, I am the tree spirit here, thank you for freeing me from the hands of the demon girl." ”
"Dryads?" Chu Ce looked at the man's face with a strange expression.
"Exactly, we are the essence of heaven and earth, and we are raised by the mother of all things, and we are very different from those demons."
Chu Ce didn't care about the difference between the two, so he pointed directly to the wall of the temple and said, "This house was built on your body?" ”
When the words fell, the faces of the people on the trees suddenly showed an angry look: "Not bad! Knowing that my six brothers have the power to connect all things, the demon girl captured us one by one and imprisoned us here with her own body, which is really hateful! ”
Chu Ce let out an "oh" and knocked on the corpse of the tree spirit with the ink scale gun: "Then do you want this thing to be useful?" Why don't you give it to me as a thank you for saving you? ”
Hearing this, the tree spirit's face suddenly changed, and he said with a dry smile: "Xiaoyou, don't be joking, although this thing is a remain, but it is also the essence of my thousands of years, and it is inextricably linked with me. ”
"Yes," Chu Ce sneered, "Then I will behead you first, and the body will naturally belong to me." ”
As he spoke, he raised the ink scale gun and waved his hand to slash!
"Click!"
Sawdust flew, and the tree spirit suddenly became anxious: "Little friend, slow down!" I have an offer that promises to satisfy your friends! ”
