The sacred tree that shelters the cat-man village is an oak tree, which the elders say was planted when the village was founded. Just behind the village square, another piece of land was set up to protect it.

The trunk of the oak tree is about twice as thick as Chen Mo's thigh, more than nine meters high, and the bark has mysterious lines of albigo, and it grows very vigorously.

But in the dense green canopy, there is a withered yellow area, and sometimes shriveled oak leaves fall.

This oak tree is not only the patron saint of the village, it has the power to ward off evil spirits, but also has the ability to increase the growth rate of grass and trees, which is why the fields around the village are so rich.

But just a few years ago, for some reason, this oak tree actually appeared in a withered yellow state, and its power to protect the village gradually weakened, so that the demons of the south stepped into the scope of the village, and so far dozens of cat people have been killed, including Jim Jill's parents, no wonder the little brothers and sisters desperately ran out of the village to find the green dragon spirit wood, these are all mentioned by Nicole Chen Mo.

In the past few years, the cat people have used the essence of life extracted from plants to irrigate the oak tree, although there is some effect, but it cannot stop the gradual deterioration of the oak tree.

What Chen Mo needs to do now is to use regeneration to regenerate the withered places of the oak trees.

At present, Chen Mo has not opened up a mana pool, meditating to accumulate his own mana, and casting spells all rely on the divine power of the Qinglong Spirit Wood, at most once a day. However, after a few days of practice, Chen Mo has already controlled the casting of spells, and there will be no more situations like the previous few times when the grass and trees went berserk.

"Normnach, Elis, Ken, Hitchdim!"

In order to make the resonance of spiritual power a natural instinct, he can only rely on casting spells again and again to increase his familiarity, and Chen Mo, who only has a few spell casting experience, still needs the guidance of spells.

Chen Mo raised his hands, and a basin-sized magic array appeared in front of him, causing discussion among the surrounding cat people, because the spellcasters in their village had never had such a vision when casting spells.

Under Chen Mo's control, the green light of life was accurately sprayed on the withered yellow area of the oak tree, but Chen Mo deliberately controlled the flow of mysterious power in his body, for fear of making up too much at one time. If something goes wrong with this oak tree, the cat-people will look for him desperately.

As a miracle, the yellowed areas of the oak gradually returned to green and rejuvenated.

"Oh!"

The surrounding villagers let out cheers of joy. After several years of worrying and fearing, I finally see hope.

"A few more times, and you should be able to get back to life. 」

Now that Chen Mo is relying on the Qinglong Spirit Wood, he can only cast spells once a day, and it seems that he still needs to meditate on his mana as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Lord Chen Mo. 」

The elders in the village came forward to thank him at this time, and even added honorifics to Chen Mo's title.

For the first time in his life, he was thanked by so many people, and Chen Mo just entertained, and then found an excuse to return to his cabin.

After getting used to being lonely, and then being surrounded by crowds, I really felt that something was wrong.

Chen Mo smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Uncle, I've come to see you. 」

At this time, the cat-eared little Lori, who hadn't been seen for a long time, rushed in like a gust of wind. The brown hair is tied with a double ponytail, swaying with the owner's fierce movements, and a pair of cat ears on the head are very mentally erected, how can it be a cute thing that can cute people.

"Where did the little head go, I haven't seen you appear for so long. 」

After all, Chen Mo had been in this village for almost two weeks, but he had hardly seen Jill and Jim.

"The elders said that the uncle should concentrate on his studies and not come to disturb you. But I saw it, uncle, you are so powerful, you really resurrected the holy wood. 」

"Uncle, I'm already very powerful. Chen Mo was touted for a bit of vanity.

"Well, it's just not physical. 」

"You little head!" Chen Mo stretched out his hands and softened the pink cheeks of the little Lori like dough.

After playing around for a while, the cat-eared little Lori looked at Chen Mo with big watery eyes.

"That...... Uncle, I'm done with candy. 」

It turns out that it's not him who is attractive, but candy and snacks.

There is very little sweets in this village, except for some fruits, which are honey. However, no beekeepers in the village and only occasionally find them in the wild, so the number is very small.

Last time, Little Lori brought back a bunch of candy and biscuits, and sent them to the friends in the village, and suddenly became the child king of the village. Because of this, the candy of Little Lori has decreased rapidly, and she has been waiting for Chen Mo for the past few days.

"Come with me. Chen Mo reached out and rubbed it on the little Lori's head.

The atmosphere in the village is very good, Chen Mo's car door is unlocked, but no one will take the things in his car without permission. However, there were not many candy biscuits left, so Chen Mo simply asked Xiao Lori to take them all.

In the past few days, the cat people will help him prepare three meals, and the food that Chen Mo stacked in the car is not used much, most of them are canned instant noodles and the like, as well as a bunch of packaged jerky. So Chen Mo planned to distribute these things to the people in the village, and at the same time, he also wanted to go back to the township, in addition to collecting supplies, Chen Mo also wanted to see if he could find a clue to go back to the real world.

That night, a big celebration was held in the village, all the villagers prepared a sumptuous meal, everyone gathered in the square to eat and drink together, and Chen Mo also took out the food in the car to share.

There is no alcohol in the village, but the drinks made from various plants taste good. The food includes fish and meat, as well as vegetables and fruits, but the seasoning is relatively monotonous, but this time there are some spice seeds, and I think the food in the village will taste much richer in the future.

In terms of entertainment, the village is a simple musical instrument such as a leather drum or a bamboo board, and with the light dancing posture of the cat man and girl, it also has a unique flavor.

It's just that when it was lively, the hurried bell rang, and the faces of the villagers who were originally smiling immediately changed color.

Chen Mo asked Nicole beside him, "What's wrong?"

"The demon is here again. Nicole looked solemn.

"Alright, the woman and the child go to take refuge under the sacred tree, and the others take up arms and prepare for battle. 」

The elders in the village did not panic either, and immediately spoke out to dispatch everyone.

Chen Mo returned to the cabin, put on the bulletproof vest he found from the police station, and several rows of sharpened iron chopsticks were inserted on it, and filled the pistol with bullets, inserted it into the holster on his waist, and then tied the previous long sword to the belt on the other side. Chen Mo asked the villagers to help him make a scabbard, otherwise it would be really inconvenient to hold it in his hand all the time.

When he decided to follow the brother and sister back to their village, Chen Mo knew that there would be such a day, so he also made some preparations.

When they came to the place where the villagers gathered, many people looked at Chen Mo, but they didn't speak.

Because every time the demon comes, it means that someone is going to die.

Chen Mo took a look, there were very few iron tools in the village, most of the arrows were sharpened bamboo, it was better to tie a wooden pole with a sharp stone, and the same was true for the spear used as a weapon, and only some cats held swords in their hands.

In terms of protection, the cat people wear homemade leather armor, which is much stronger than the silence who only wears a vest.

The casters of the village also gathered, wearing the same leather armor as the others, and holding a wooden staff inlaid with crystals in their hands.

At this time, Chen Mo saw Nicole walking towards him.

"You shouldn't have come, you're the only hope in the village. In a few days, we won't have to worry about the demons anymore. 」

"I know, but I can't do anything if I look at it. 」

Chen Mo didn't do much anymore, and he didn't want to continue to be silent.

"But you haven't learned any attacking spells yet. 」

"So what. 」

As soon as Chen Mo raised his hand, a row of iron chopsticks jumped out of the slot of the vest and flew beside Chen Mo.

Although he has not yet condensed his own mana, Chen Mo's spiritual power has improved very amazingly these days, with an effect distance of five meters, a conventional force of fifty kilograms, and an unknown strength of the outbreak.

Conventional strength currently refers to the ability to lift a weight of about 50 kilograms for more than a minute with mental strength. The burst force is the force of the burst strike in one second, which is not easy to measure, but it is definitely much greater than the force of fifty kilograms. Both are Chen Mo's own custom standards.

The current Chen Mo can be said to be able to kill people with mental power alone.

"Be careful, then. 」

Nicole didn't dissuade her when she saw it, after all, Chen Mo was much more powerful than ordinary villagers, so she just handed Chen Mo some alchemy potions.

In addition to healing potions, there are also strength potions that increase strength for a period of time, and crusty potions that harden the skin for a short period of time.

After Chen Mo accepted these potions, he put them in the pocket on his vest.

Then Nicole said seriously, "There is still a little time, I will tell you about the situation of those demons, and there are still things to pay attention to. 」

"I've met Jill Jim, is that the red-haired dog?"

"It's just a demon called on a man, a ferocious beast at best. Real demons are much more terrifying than beasts, their strength, speed, and reflexes are much higher than those beasts, and they also have some special powers. But the most terrifying thing is their leader. 」

Nicole took Chen Mo to the shelf by the wall, where the scene of the outer wall of the village could be seen.

Then, by the light of the moon, Chen Mo saw the so-called leader of the demon.

It was a giant black dog the size of an adult bull, its body was broken and its bones were exposed, its limbs trampled on the blue flames, and its mouth and nose spewed blue fire powder between its breaths.

On the ground it had trampled, the plants had turned into black, rancid mud, like a messenger from hell.

"That's the demon leader, how did you fight it off before?"

Just looking at the posture of the black giant dog, the Catman Village could be said to have not perished to this day, and Chen Mo felt that this was simply a miracle.

"The leader doesn't usually attack, it's always left to its men, and each attack kills a few villagers and takes their bodies away, almost like they're keeping us in captivity. 」

"Is there a way to deal with it?"

If you use the divine power of the green dragon to cast an offensive spell, you may be able to deal with that monster. As for now, Chen Mo is at a loss, and in the final analysis, he is still not strong enough.

He just felt that he had some power, but reality immediately told him how big the world was.

「...... Under certain conditions, they can all be wiped out. 」

Judging from Nicole's tone, Chen Mo could tell that it would not be a good thing.

But Nicole didn't care, and continued, "See those rotten yellow dogs, they are the main attackers. Beware of their claws and teeth, they are so poisonous that even getting close to them can make people weak. 」

Beside the black dog, there were several yellow dogs roaming. They were twice as big as the red-haired dogs, and the flesh and skin on their bodies were rotten and messy, and Chen Mo could see that they were floating with gray-black energy.

Do you have a plague aura......

"It's important to stop them from attacking the Sacred Tree, if necessary...... We will have people who will sacrifice willingly. Nicole's tone was a little sad.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "Is it the elders?"

After coming to this village, Chen Mo found that there were many fewer elderly people in the village than children in the prime of life, and it seemed that this was the reason.

"So for all of us in the village, you are more important than you think. Only when the sacred tree is restored will such a thing not happen again. Promise me, don't be impulsive, my lord. Nicole said almost pleadingly.

"I see......

Chen Mo clenched his fists.

No matter which world it is, there is no justice and justice, only the difference between the strong and the weak.

In the past, Chen Mo had always been indifferent, but now he finally understood the pathos of the weak.

"Be careful, they're attacking!"

At this time, the yellow dogs began to run, jumping over the three-meter-high fence in an astonishing way, and began a bloody killing directly in the village.
