"Hello, are you an adventurer who comes to help our sacred tree 'remove insects'?"
Xu Xuanyu was carrying three roasted sweet potatoes in her left hand and a large bunch of candied haws in her right hand. Feng Xuanchen also stuffed a large bag of candied roasted chestnuts into her hand.
Then, she was stopped by the guards at the city gate.
The guard looked at them with a troubled look on his face, "There are a lot of 'worms' growing on the sacred tree, but we can't get close to the sacred tree. We can only ask outside adventurers for help. Are you willing to help us eliminate insects from the sacred tree?"
Xu Xuanyu paused, stuffed a beautiful candy-colored hawthorn into his mouth, and turned to look at Feng Xuanchen.
At this moment, she is just a little pet that eats and plays. Her owner has to decide whether to do the deworming or not.
She doesn't care about this, she is only responsible for eating.
"Our strength is low and I'm afraid we won't be able to do the job. I'm sorry." Feng Xuanchen bowed slightly. Although he refused the guard's request, he was thoughtful and even more polite than he was in the real world.
The guard looked at Feng Xuanchen and let out a long sigh, "With your strength, it's really difficult for you to help get rid of the insects."
"Those bugs are very hateful. It takes at least level 25 strength to defeat them. Although the guards in our city have that strength, we can't get close to the sacred tree, and we can't desecrate the sacred tree that protects us, but..."
The guard hesitated for a moment and then said: "An adventurer came yesterday. As soon as he entered the city, he said he was willing to help us deworm the sacred tree. His strength is lower than yours. I didn't want to agree, but he insisted on going.
You didn’t listen to my dissuasion at all.”
"I was afraid that he would anger those damn bugs in the past, so I came to ask you for help because I had no other choice..."
Before he finished speaking, several roars of wild beasts suddenly came from the air, and then a transparent barrier spread out from the sacred tree, instantly covering the entire Maple Leaf Town within the barrier.
The guard looked ugly, looked in the direction of the sacred tree and said anxiously: "It's over, that adventurer really angered the bug, and the bug went berserk! The sacred tree released the barrier, and none of us can get out or enter until those bugs are eliminated.
coming."
"ah?"
Xu Xuanyu took a bite of the roasted sweet potato. When she heard this, she raised her little head and looked at the guard ignorantly and innocently.
Can't leave the city?
It's not bad if they can't go out. Anyway, there is a lot of delicious food here, and they still have a lot of money, so they can stay here and eat as much as they want.
Feng Xuanchen's eyes darkened and he looked in the direction of the sacred tree.
The huge sacred tree towers into the clouds. Originally, a few huge maple leaves would occasionally drift down, but now the maple leaves are falling violently.
The white clouds surrounding the tree crowns like gauze have all turned into dark clouds, which seems to indicate that the disaster is coming.
The guard clasped his fists at Feng Xuanchen, "This adventurer, the Zerg are now rampant. Only by completely wiping them out can we appease the sacred tree. Otherwise, we will all be trapped here and die."
"All residents in our town believe in the sacred tree. For us, the sacred tree is our parents. We cannot desecrate the sacred tree. Now we can only ask you to take action."
"If you are willing to help us eliminate the Zerg on the Sacred Tree, we are willing to pay you ten gold coins, and you will gain the favor of Maple Leaf Town and get a permanent 50% discount on shopping here."
"Ten gold coins?"
"50% off?!"
Xu Xuanyu's eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't wait to agree for Feng Xuanchen.
Go, go, go! They are going to catch bugs now. They are just a few small bugs. She is responsible for squeezing them to death!
But Feng Xuanchen didn't agree immediately. He asked in a low voice: "The Zerg race has been known for its large number since ancient times. Do you know how many Zerg races there are on the sacred tree?"
The guard sighed and said awkwardly: "At least twenty..."
"And now that they are all enraged and entering a violent state, their combat effectiveness will increase to around level 30... You really have no chance of winning if you go alone."
A human adventurer who is only level 18 has to face twenty Zergs above level 30. The guard also knows that his request is too much.
He hesitated whether to let the Zerg horde wreak havoc or to force Feng Xuanchen to take action, but a low voice slowly sounded.
"Level 30 sounds very powerful. I'll give it a try."
"You want to go?" Xu Xuanyu and the guards both looked at Feng Xuanchen in surprise.
The guard was surprised and grateful, but Xu Xuanyu's face was full of confusion.
Before entering the city last time, Feng Xuanchen made it clear that he would not eliminate insects. He said that his strength was low and he did not want to die. The taste of death was unpleasant.
Now that it is clear that the number and strength of the Zerg are known, Feng Xuanchen will definitely die if he goes there, but he wants to go. Why is this?
"We don't have a lot of money."
Feng Xuanchen looked at the little milk fish and explained to her: "It's only 1 gold coin, which is not enough for you to buy a lot of delicious food, so I have to make more money."
Xu Xuanyu: "You're saying I can eat it..."
The sweet potato in my hand suddenly lost its flavor.
But the next second, the little milk fish patted his chest and said proudly: "Don't worry, it's just a few bugs. I'll help you fight them."
What’s wrong with her being able to eat? She can earn the money for her own meals, and she can eat confidently!
"It's not that you can eat it...look at the street." Feng Xuanchen gently pushed Xu Xuanyu's little head with his hand and motioned her to look around.
The streets that were bustling just now were deserted, except for a child crying in the middle of the road who couldn't find his parents.
His parents followed the sound and rushed over to pick up the child, then hurriedly hid in the shed.
Xu Xuanyu looked over and found that the sheds and buildings on the street were crowded with people. The panic on everyone's face was so obvious. Fear lingered on everyone, bending their waists.
"Is it true?"
Feng Xuanchen gently put his hand on the little milk fish's shoulder and whispered to her: "Look at how real the fear on their faces is. If we don't help, they will always live in this fear. Beautiful Maple Leaf Town
It will become a hell on earth.”
"People from the outside can't come in, and people inside can't get out. Everyone living here has to be on tenterhooks. They don't know when those terrifying Zerg will rush into the town, and they are also worried that the sacred tree they believe in will be eaten by the Zerg.
Eat all the food."
"If I get rid of the bugs, I will definitely die, but if I can catch a bug on my back before I die, then if I die a few more times, maybe I will wipe out all the bugs."
Feng Xuanchen was not sure whether he could challenge those violent Zerg. Maybe dying once would not be enough to hurt the Zerg, but his level would not be lowered if he 'died' to level ten, while the Zerg's injuries would take time to recover.
He can kill them quickly, hurting them a little each time, and always killing them.
"Are you... determined to die?" Xu Xuanyu was touched by the real fear on people's faces, and also moved by Feng Xuanchen's words.
She put the uneaten roasted sweet potatoes back into the bag and looked at Feng Xuanchen seriously, "As long as you have the heart to help them, I will do the rest."
"As long as I'm here, you won't get hurt."
This time, it was her to protect him.
