Chapter 19: The lord is clearing the wasteland

*You have entered the wild area: the Dead Leaf Forest. Player Suggested Level: 5-15

With the azure subtitles in front of him, Fang Mu slowly stood up from the ground and began to look at the strange and familiar forest of dead leaves in front of him.

The terrain in the forest is flat, and the vegetation distribution is somewhat like that of temperate deciduous broad-leaved forests. It should be summer now, Cangwuzhou is located in the northern hemisphere, and it stands to reason that the color of the environment in front of you should not be yellow, and the place that catches the eye should not be full of gloom.

This forest was also named the Withered Leaf Forest for this reason, but Fang Mu obviously knew the secret behind the Withered Leaf Forest.

Somewhere in the forest, a hidden quest related to the yellowing of the forest can be claimed, and once completed, the player will be able to learn the cause of the decay of the Deadwood Forest and restore the terminally ill trees to their original vitality in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, there is a level requirement to take that hidden mission, and the player must reach level 30 to do so.

Therefore, it can only be put aside if it is weak, and the relevant events of this hidden mission will be discussed later, so there is no rush for now.

The special passage to the Shadow Leaf Dungeon had just been built, which meant that he had never been to this area before, and it was obvious that there was a large area of war fog on the map.

The exit of the special passage is very close to the first exit, and it is also inside the withered leaf forest, which also means that there may be those bandits wandering nearby, and Fang Mu must be extra careful when he shuttles through the forest.

Now Fang Mu had already used camouflage magic to disguise, a pair of iconic red pupils had become jet black, and his face was only plainly handsome, so as not to attract everyone's strange eyes, and everyone couldn't see that he was an ordinary demon.

The rustle of the leaves under your feet and the wind-blown waves weave together, acting as a harmony for the forest. Fang Mu wandered aimlessly in the forest, but not to mention people in the forest, not even a small animal could be seen, and the withered leaf forest was vast, relying on Fang Mu alone to search for the carpet, it would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month.

It can't go on like this.

As soon as he thought of this, Fang Mu's eyes lit up, and a sharp and illusory eagle's cry came out beside him, and then his field of vision suddenly widened, and the depth suddenly lengthened, and the ants a hundred meters away, the snails crawling on the trees, and the falling thin leaves were all clearly visible.

Hunter Class-Only Skill: Eagle Eye!

His eyes wandered through the intricacies of the jungle, and soon he saw some people dressed in the style of rogues, and their settlements, the cauldron in the center of the settlement, the chopped firewood, and the machetes used to kill pigs.

But this was not over, in the next second, Fang Mu's gaze became stunned.

On the other side of the spectrum, he saw another settlement, which seemed to be some villagers dressed in ordinary clothes.

"Newbie Village? Is there a novice village near this withered leaf forest? What a joke, I forgot ......"

Lightning-like thoughts crossed Fang Mu's mind, and in an instant, his brain was frantically calculating.

"Most likely, it's not the kind of player novice village, it's just a very ordinary, small village built on the periphery of the withered leaf forest, looking at the village villagers and their clothes, this novice village should not be very developed, they rely on the forest to build, and they should rely on these timber resources to develop the village."

"Or is this a village for a timber processing plant?"

"It doesn't seem like it, I didn't see the factory, and it seems that the residents here are still very simple."

After thinking about it, Fang Mu decided to go to the outskirts of the village that didn't seem to be dangerous first, step on the point, and understand the situation, after all, he used to do the questions when he was a student, and it was easy before the difficulty, so it was also reasonable to deal with things that were not dangerous now.

Coming to this small village on the outskirts of the withered leaf forest, Fang Mu found that it was really just a fairly ordinary village, but the atmosphere in the village seemed to be a little strange at this time.

There was a sense of tension, and as soon as Fang Mu arrived at the gate of the village, he saw a group of men, women, and children who had set up fortifications outside the village.

"Could it be that the beast tide is coming? It shouldn't be.,Full Moon Beast Tide is a world event in version 1.1.,Now it's not even an open beta.,Not even version 1.0.,It can only be counted as version 0.0...... In that case, it is estimated that someone is going to attack the village, could it be those bandits? ”

Fang Mu was a little puzzled when he saw the scene in front of him.

Do you think Fang Mu will do anything, do you think he will come up with a conjecture and then cosplay detectives, looking for clues in the village?

However, in fact, Fang Mu walked directly in front of them and opened his mouth:

"Hello, I'm an adventurer from the Wenlan City Adventurers' Association, and now I've been commissioned to come to the Withered Leaf Forest to shoot the magnificent scenery in the forest, but when I pass by your village, I always feel that you are defending something, has your village suffered any incident?"

Wenlan City is not far from the Withered Leaf Forest, according to Fang Mu's memory, this city is an important transportation hub in the southeast of the Vian Kingdom, it is of great strategic importance, and it is also the early main city for human players born around the Withered Leaf Forest.

Speaking of which, Fang Mu really wanted to go back and have a look, because he used to be a paladin, and the main city in the early stage was the one in front of him, and he had taken pictures of the entire Wenlan City inside and out, up and down, back and forth.

Of course, he also often set foot in some secret occasions in Wenlan City, which is the kind that ordinary players despise, such as ......

Sewer.

Okay, now let's give the camera to the lucky villager who was interviewed by Fang Mu, after he was stunned for a moment, he looked a little happy in shock, and the villagers on the side also slowly raised their heads and looked at Fang Mu with a strange gaze.

"Are you really an adventurer from Wenlan City? Quick, come with me, come with me to find the village chief. ”

Fang Mu was just happy like this, the villagers walked briskly in front, he followed behind, and within a few minutes he understood the ins and outs of the village fortification.

He really guessed correctly, the drama staged in front of him is the classic bandit collection and protection fee bridge, the village in front of him is called Xiaowang Village, a long, long time ago omitted many words, anyway, it was established very early, and everyone lived happily here, until a group of bandits arrived in a few weeks, and they were in the fish and meat town.

robbed the people's daughters and collected several sets of protection money, and the villagers finally couldn't bear the disturbance and were ready to resist.

Now that the two sides have completely torn their faces, the bandits will come to Xiaowang Village in two days, wanting to kill them all.

It was at this juncture that a handsome and unremarkable man entered the village.

Walking on the way to the village chief's house, Fang Mu couldn't help but feel that this was a good opportunity.

According to his original plan A, he planned to step on the spot next to the bandits, and then find a few extras to show off his powerful image, and then use his rich magical reserves to stage a light show for everyone.

In short, Plan A is to find a way to scare the bandits away, which can be described as a soldier who surrenders without a fight.

Of course, a mature plan A should automatically derive plan B, and if plan A doesn't work, according to his original plan B, he plans to use his adventurer status to move troops to the Wenlan City Adventurers' Association in advance.

However, there is also a problem with this plan B, that is, he is only in his twenties after all, and he is just a low-level demon, although this Wen Lancheng is quite a vegetable, but there are indeed some people who are stronger than him in it, and it will not be good if the disguise is seen through at that time.

But now that the plan can't keep up with the change, he doesn't have to think about what to do, and there is a great opportunity in front of him.
