The forest is dense and dimly lit, and even the roar of insects and beasts is rarely heard. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The three of them took care of each other before and after, Rong Zuo in front, Bei Ming in the center, and Meng Xie in the back.

More than a foot in the air in front of Rong Zuo, there was a charm floating in the air, flickering bright and dark, leading the way in front.

This is a guide talisman, a very small and practical thing newly developed by the Demon Slaying Alliance after studying the inscription array.

Looking around vigilantly, Rong Zuo whispered to the two behind him, and said: "This is too quiet, something is wrong, according to the prompts of the task, we have to find a wooden house, look at the traces of the demon clan from the inside, and then follow the vine." ”

Pei Ming smiled disappreciatively, as if mocking Rong Zuo's caution.

Meng Xie, who had been wandering countless times, agreed with Rong Zuo's words, nodded and said, "Yes, generally speaking, there will be traces of demon beasts or beasts, and along the way, we have not found any traces at all, it is indeed suspicious." ”

An hour later, Rong Zuo brushed aside the branches in front of him and was guided by the guide to a clearing.

Looking up, the scene in front of him made him can't help but exclaim.

"This is the cabin??"

Meng Xie also came to Rong Zuo's side, and the wooden house in front of him was a little unusual, which really surprised him.

The hut is built on a towering tree, and a soft ladder made of wood is coiled under the tree.

At the back of the wooden house, you can see many soft ladders connecting dozens of large trees together, forming a very large complex.

"Is this a room?" Bei Ming couldn't help but complain and rolled his eyes, "It seems that after I go back, I want my brother to have a good talk with those people in charge of intelligence." ”

Meng Xie glanced at Bei Ming obliquely, and although he hated this person who often talked about his brother, he agreed with his opinion.

A wooden house?

This is clearly a building complex, maybe there are a lot of demons hidden in it, and three fourth-grade martial artists are here, I'm afraid they don't even know how to die.

"What should I do, are I still going?" Meng Xie asked, looking at Rong Zuo.

Rong Zuo's face wandered, and his heart began to calculate.

This time the task was bought by one person at a great price, and almost all his net worth was blocked.

If he fails, not only will he lose all his money after he returns, but I'm afraid that the reputation of the Black Iron Hunter who can't even complete a white mission will spread, and no one in the Demon Eradication Alliance will do any more missions with him in the future.

"Yes, the mission said that there was no one, presumably it should have been investigated, let's go up and look for clues. ”

Rong Zuo gritted his teeth and made a decision to continue the mission.

Meng Xie was noncommittal, he was just here to train, and it didn't matter if the task was successful or not.

However, Bei Ming's face next to him changed suddenly, and he said: "I don't agree, the task has become dangerous, and the reward you gave me is not worth the price of this task at all, and you need to add money." ”

Go on the scamp!

Meng Xie immediately understood Bei Ming's thoughts, and was a little disdainful of him doing this, so he listed the other party as an overwhelmed figure.

With a bitter face, Rong Zuo is not big or small in the Demon Eradication Alliance, and he is a little famous, and he comes into contact with many people on weekdays, and it is his ability to eat by observing words and feelings.

Without Bei Ming speaking, Rong Zuo could see the other party's thoughts.

"I'll give you five hundred contributions. ”

In desperation, Rong Zuo could only add another 500 contributions to Bei Ming.

White missions generally only have about two thousand merits, and Rong Zuo began to contribute three hundred to Meng Xie and Bei Ming each.

In this way, Bei Ming's merit is eight hundred, which is not much different from Rong Zuo.

Perhaps feeling a little uneasy, Rong Zuo looked at Meng Xie and also opened his mouth to add five hundred contributions.

Meng Xie originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it for a while, he accepted it silently.

It's just that in this way, the mission was successful, and Rong Zuo only contributed 400, which was already a lot of money.

An agreement was reached, and the three of them went up the soft ladder in the order they had just now, and walked to the wooden house along the way.

"Crunch~"

Rong Zuo pushed open the door, and the visible dust rushed to his face, making him cough for a while.

Meng Xie also took this opportunity to disperse the dust and looked inside the wooden house.

The wooden house was empty, there was nothing, the dust was thick, and it looked like no one had cleaned it for a long time.

"No one, go to the next room. Rong Zuo didn't say a word, and followed the soft ladder of the other door in the house, and walked to the wooden house on another big tree.

It's still empty!

looked at several rooms in succession, but they were all empty, which made Rong Zuo frowned, and Bei Ming behind him urged impatiently.

"Hurry up, if there's no one, let's go down and look around for clues. ”

After opening the penultimate wooden house, there was still nothing, Rong Zuo was just about to turn around and leave, when suddenly Meng Xie, who had not spoken, opened his mouth.

"Slow, Rong Zuo, look at what's on the ground?"

Meng Xie's reminder made Rong Zuo come to his senses all of a sudden, his eyes swept around the ground, and he suddenly found a clue.

And Bei Ming also saw the strangeness.

On the floor of the wooden house, there was a shallow footprint, very small, which looked like it was left by a child, and it would not have been possible to find it unless you looked closely through the sunlight.

"It seems that those people are very right, there are indeed people here, but how can they think that they are demons?"

Squatting down, Rong Zuo looked at the footprints and calmly analyzed.

Meng Xie straightened up, raised his chin lightly, and looked down the soft ladder of the other gate of the wooden house to see the next big tree.

"Maybe that's it. ”

Hearing Meng Xie's words, Rong Zuo and Bei Ming also turned their heads to look, their faces full of shock.

Following the soft ladder, the three of them came to the big tree and carefully looked at the surrounding arrangements.

There is no wooden house at the foot of the big tree, but the branches and branches are artificially cut off, and a very peculiar method is used to weave a large bird's nest.

In the center of the nest, there was a long table with candles on the table, as well as three bloody demon beast heads, exuding a faint fishy smell.

In front of the long table, there stood a large trunk of a tree with a man hugging him, the bark of which had long been stripped off, and the smooth white wood was carved with some patterns painted with unknown dyes.

The pattern is all over the trunk of the tree, and it looks a little weird and inexplicable.

"What is this? It's kind of like a sacrificial thing. ”

Rong Zuo stepped forward, knocked on the trunk with his hand, and touched the pattern, it was all dry, and it looked like it should have been left for a long time.

"Who is the person who is sacrificing here? Is it a demon?"

Meng Xie also walked to the trunk of the tree with a puzzled face and gently stroked it with his hand.

There was a cool and smooth touch coming from the trunk of the tree, and Meng Xie only then realized that those patterns were not painted or engraved, as if they were grown on the trunk of the tree.

"I know what this thing is!"

Bei Ming looked at the trunk greedily, kept smacking his lips, and the words he said immediately attracted the attention of Meng Xie and Rong Zuo. (To be continued.) )
