Lu Fengdeng didn't seem to see their gratitude, and calmly said: "Get up first, don't block the entrance of the cave."

With so many people gathered here, it was inconvenient for him and the people behind him to come out.

The people kneeling outside the cave didn't seem to expect that the envoy would say that, they stood up in a panic, and each took a step back.

The space in front of him doubled instantly, Lu Fengdeng nodded: "Thank you."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the breach in the stone wall first, then turned his head and said, "Come out, everyone."

The people who were still in the cave came out with a dazed expression on their faces.

Kang Yu now admires Lu Fengdeng so much.

Putting nothing else aside, Brother Lu is really too strong to be able to smash through a rock wall alone with a small hand hammer!

If he was a person outside the cave, and when he saw someone breaking through the stone wall to rescue them in despair, his reaction would definitely be worse than this group of people.

Cheng Zhenhua's mood was even more complicated.

Ever since Lu Fengdeng was released from the prison van at dawn today, he couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm.

The progress of the dungeon was rapid. One second, they were still answering questions, but the next second, they broke through the stone wall, and everyone bowed down.

This scene was too shocking. Cheng Zhenhua originally thought that although Lu Fengdeng was powerful, he was still a human being, and Gu Xuezhong should not be much different from him.

Now it seems that the other party may be in the non-human category.

Be it physical or mental.

After all, not everyone can accurately find the most vulnerable point on the stone wall without using any auxiliary tools, and can also smash the stone wall with only a small hand hammer.

Cheng Zhenhua sighed in his heart, and couldn't help looking at Gu Xuezhong, who he thought could be comparable to Lu Fengdeng.

Not only was the other party's face not shocked, but it revealed a kind of secret excitement, and his eyes were like a wolf and a dog, shining brightly.

Judging from Cheng Zhenhua's years of experience, this should be the light of love.

He quickly looked away.

Harm, might as well not watch it!

Older single young men do not want to be harmed.

When all the people in the cave came out, everyone was able to see the whole picture outside the cave.

It's nothing like the other side of the canyon.

Before the flames ignited, the canyon on the other side was sunny, with green water and green mountains, like a paradise.

And here is a dead black.

Looking around, everyone can only see dark rocks inside and out.A narrow stream, which seems to be cut off at any time, flows through the shallow riverbed, and there are two skinny trees growing on the cliff.

Everything looked lifeless.

The most frightening thing is the twisted and gnarled thing protruding from the bottom of the canyon, which looks like a tree root. This thing is firmly grasped to the ground. It has shriveled and shrunk, but it is still thick and scary.

The bottom of the entire canyon looks like the skin of a patient with varicose veins, with countless blood vessels and veins protruding from the epidermis, but they are still constantly grabbing the life of this land.

Kang Yu was shocked: "What is this?!"

Lu Fengdeng answered his question: "This is the root of the sacred tree."

Kang Yu looked even more shocked: "That giant tree that eats people?! Oh my god, its roots spanned two canyons, and they all grew here?!"

Still so thick, so big!

"Yes, this is the root of that tree."

An old voice came from behind the crowd.

The people in white robes automatically moved out of the way when they heard the voice.

An old man with white beard and hair leaning on a staff walked out slowly with the help of others.

He was supposed to have a kind face, but because he was too thin, he looked like a bone frame covered with human skin, which would fall apart at any time.

Not only him, but all the men, women and children outside the cave were terribly thin, with sunken eye sockets and prominent cheekbones, as if their energy had been sucked away.

Some people even have flushed and tender skin, which looks like it has just grown out.

The people in the team couldn't help thinking about the scene they saw on the stone wall before.

Phalanths and rotting fingers.

Could it be that the situation on both sides of the canyon is completely opposite?

When the people of Yeli City were full of youth, the people on this side of the canyon were in a state similar to skeletons.When the people of Yeli City turned into skeletons, the canyon side will return to human form.

Although it's not fully recovered yet.

Lu Fengdeng accurately captured the obvious unhealed skin under the collars of many white-robed men, revealing every bone.

The old man stood still in front of Lu Fengdeng.

He looked at the young man in front of him with cloudy blue eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, I'm Priest Foss of Yeli City."

As soon as he said this, the whole team showed a look of surprise.

Cheng Zhenhua couldn't hold back, and asked directly: "Are you from the city of Yeli?!"

"Yes," Firth had a wry smile on his face, "The other side of the canyon told you that they are the city of Yeli?"

Lu Fengdeng nodded.

Firth took a breath and said solemnly: "We are Yeli City, and they are Soma City."

"They've taken our place, and they've had it for a long time."

Firth looked at the expressions of the angels in front of him, and tapped the staff on the ground twice.

He held the arm of the person beside him with his old hand, turned around weakly, and invited: "I am a little old, and I can't stand for long. If you are interested, please sit with me and listen to me slowly Bar."

Surrounded by people from Yeli City, Lu Fengdeng and his team followed Firth down the mountain road, and finally everyone sat on a few protruding rocks and listened to each other's stories.

"Once upon a time there were two city-states, one was called Yeli City, the people in the city believed in gods, they were not greedy for pleasure, they were only loyal to their partners, and were kind to others. The other was called Soma City. Human relations are very unfriendly to outsiders, and some people even take pleasure in killing people."

"Although the two city-states have different beliefs and different ways of life, and even complain about each other's way of life. However, the two city-states are adjacent to each other, and there is a market in the middle, and the people in the city still trade. Until one day, I, as The priests of the city of Yeli received a revelation from the gods in their sleep."

"The god sits on a high throne, and the holy light radiating from his body covers his appearance. He revealed to me, telling me that the city of Soma is immoral and murderous for so long, that the city is full of bad people. Three days later, He will punish thousands of miles around the city of Soma, and the fire will burn for seven days and seven nights to purify the land."

"The gods praised the penance and restraint of the city of Yeli, its friendliness and sincerity. In order to save the lives of the people of God, he came here to reveal to me that he asked the whole city to move out within three days, and he has already looked after a canyon for us. , rich and rich, just deep in the dense forest to the west."

"The gods came here to reveal to me. Naturally, I have to obey the will of the gods. I told the people in the whole city about this, and asked them to go home and pack up their belongings. The next morning, they set off with me to find a new place to rebuild their homes. .”

"I specifically asked them not to disclose this matter to the outside world. However, the people of God are always too kind. In the trade market, one of our people disclosed this news to the people of Soma City. The people of Soma City are very grateful The gods are disrespectful, and they don’t believe in God. Almost no one is vigilant, but some people pay attention.”

When Firth said this, he sighed deeply.

Cheng Zhenhua on the side had already guessed the follow-up: "That Sarah came to you?"

Firth nodded: "When Sara begged me, she brought many young men and women from Soma City with her. Their behavior was a little frivolous, but it seemed more because of their young age than Soma City. obscenity."

"Boys and girls shed tears in front of me, which made me hesitate. At that time, I naively thought that the gods entrusted me with dreams to help people who are kind, and although Soma City is a city of sin, there must be many people who are kind. People. If I help them, I will also bring new people to the gods."

"However, I never expected that the divulging of the secrets angered the gods, and he sent down punishment one day in advance. There were raging sky fires inside and outside the city that day, and some people who hadn't had time to move away..."

Firth paused at this point.

Lu Fengdeng and his party remembered the fire in the canyon they had seen standing on the mountainside, and the skeletons at the bottom of the valley, even the most nervous Kang Yu thoughtfully did not ask.

Firth sorted out his emotions and continued:

"Sara and the others are following us. The strange thing is that the fire from the sky obviously didn't fall on their heads, but their bodies were scorched. The flesh and blood peeled off piece by piece, and even the bones inside became blackened."

"At that time, we had already reached the fertile valley, and many people in Yeli City began to reject Sara and the others. Although they were not attacked by the sky fire, they were still punished, which shows that they are evil people."

"I couldn't bear to drive them away, so I let them stay in the canyon outside. This place was originally a rich place, enough for them to live on."

When Firth said this, a painful expression appeared on his face: "You also know what happened next."

"I don't know when a strange giant tree grew in the outer canyons. They sacrificed to this giant tree, got strange fruits, and restored their original appearance. Then, our nightmare began."

"The people in the city of Yeli are constantly decreasing and disappearing. The thick tree roots invaded from the canyon on the other side, and the original green mountains and green waters of the canyon became barren. However, the terrible thing is far more than that. The thick tree roots seem to be able to swallow Our lives. Everyone in the city began to shed flesh and blood, gradually turning to bones."

"It's just that this giant tree doesn't seem to want us to die. When it's at its worst, the roots will stop absorbing life, and even release a little life, causing our flesh to grow and grow, and the cycle goes on and on."

"And the passage connecting the two canyons was also blocked by Sarah and the others with a stone wall. We couldn't get through at all. We could only suffer torture every day, as if we were in hell."

"Until one day, a god suddenly appeared in my dream again. He told me that an envoy from the gods would come to rescue us in the near future. We waited here for three months but nothing came, until the tree roots in the canyon just now Suddenly shriveled and shrunk, our flesh and blood began to grow again, I knew that God sent you here!"

Firth finished speaking intermittently, and at the end, he became emotional and began to cough violently.

Kang Yu quickly patted the back of this old-looking grandfather.

This is their mission goal. If something happens, they don't know if points will be deducted.

Cheng Zhenhua followed suit and said: "Okay, okay, we know. Don't get excited, you should have a good rest first, and call us if you need anything. Let's discuss something now, and we may take a look at the canyon."

Firth nodded again and again, as if he was about to get up: "Does the envoy of God need someone to guide the way? We..."

Cheng Zhenhua quickly pressed him down: "It's okay, just stay here. We won't go far."

Kang Yu also grabbed the old man and persuaded him, "Don't worry, old man, with Brother Lu here, nothing will happen!"

Lu Fengdeng didn't comment on what they said.

Seeing that the priest finally calmed down, Cheng Zhenhua pulled Lu Fengdeng and Gu Xuezhong aside.

He said: "The ins and outs of the matter are also very clear. The source of the evil is the group of people we met before. Logically speaking, the ashes of the group of skeletons and shelves have been lifted by us, and the evil should be eliminated. How can this task continue?" Not finished yet?"

When Cheng Zhenhua said this, he was a little dissatisfied: "There is no progress bar for this task, and no one knows where the task has progressed."

Gu Xuezhong on the side shook his head.

He scanned the canyon with his eyes, and frowned: "The evil has not been completely eliminated. I can feel that there is still a gloomy atmosphere of death pervading here."

Gu Xuezhong left this mysterious and mysterious words, then turned his head to look at the group of human skin skeletons that looked like skeletons: "Look at their appearance, they don't look like they have fully recovered at all."

Lu Fengdeng nodded: "I think you're right."

Cheng Zhenhua was a little helpless: "How long will we have to wait for them to grow back?! Since this giant tree feeds the people of Soma City by absorbing the lives of the people of Yeli City, what about the meat that fell from the skeleton over there and the meat that grows here?" It's not equal at all?! This giant tree shouldn't be like those unscrupulous intermediaries, it's full of private pockets, right?!"

Gu Xuezhong seemed to be inspired: "What you said is very possible. Could it be that the sacred tree is not dead yet?"

As soon as he said this, the three of them simultaneously turned their attention to the shriveled but still very strong tree roots at the bottom of the canyon.

Lu Fengdeng said thoughtfully, "Isn't it? Just try it and you'll know."

After he finished speaking, regardless of the reactions of the other two, he left the flat open space and walked down the mountain road to the bottom of the canyon.

Whether Lu Fengdeng is the core figure of the team or the envoy of God who broke through the stone wall to save the people of Yeli City, his every move has always attracted attention.

At this moment, Lu Fengdeng moved, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

He went all the way down to the bottom of the valley, and stood in front of the thick tree roots that were as tall as a person.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Fengdeng stood among the twisted and gnarled tree roots, and suddenly a strange creature appeared in his hand.

The creature, about the size of a small pillow, was shaped like an octopus, with a large, disproportionately large head.

Two slits were cut in the front of the head, exposing bright red eyes.Below the head, there are more than a dozen tentacles extending out.At the back of its body, there are two small, immature wings.

When the little monster saw Lu Fengdeng, its bright red eyes widened, and its mouth, which was integrated with its pitch-black body, opened wide, revealing its sharp fangs, as if extremely angry.

This is the man!Snatched all its fruits!And stuffed it into a space where it couldn't move!

hateful!

The little monster couldn't move its head, and the dozen or so tentacles below it opened their teeth and claws, and even opened their mouths wide to threaten.

Lu Fengdeng was indifferent to this, but reached out and touched one of the tentacles.

Soft.

Bring a little moisture.

It feels very good.

The little monster's tentacles were touched and immediately retracted, and it rolled itself into a ball, and two suspicious blushes appeared under its eyes.

Home, actually touching other people's jiojio!

Lu Fengdeng didn't care about the change of this little monster, but said: "There should be something you like to eat in it. If you encounter it, don't swallow it, take it out, and I will exchange it with you with the magic fruit."

The tentacles of the little monster began to show its teeth and claws again.

Lu Fengdeng ignored it, but said: "I took it, it's mine, so I can exchange it with you."

The little monster's tentacles hang down feebly.

Lu Fengdeng put the little monster on a tree root as tall as a person.

The two small wings on the back of the little monster fluttered twice immediately. Its tentacles grabbed the dry roots and dusted them with disgust. Then it turned into a pool of black cakes, which slowly sank until it disappeared. not see.

Lu Fengdeng was carrying out his mission here calmly, but the top of the canyon had already exploded.

Kang Yu just stood on the edge of the cliff and saw the little monster clearly, and said in shock: "This, this seems to be a miniature version of the monster we met in the rainforest before."

Cheng Zhenhua was sweating profusely: "Where did this come from? There is no such thing in the points mall. Could it be that Xiao Lu caught one outside and shrunk it down and put it in the inventory? No way!"

Kang Yu thought for a while, and a whimsical idea popped up in his mind, which amused himself: "I remember Brother Lu cut off one of the monster's tentacles with a chainsaw in the cave, do you think it might be that tentacle?" The tentacle deformed and ran to seek revenge from Brother Lu, but was subdued by Brother Lu instead? Hahahahaha."

He laughed for a while and found no one was laughing, so he could only touch his head embarrassingly and stopped talking.

On the contrary, Cheng Zhenhua thought about it and thought it was very possible: "What you said is not necessarily wrong. The monster's tentacles become a miniature version of the monster. This is very likely."

"That's not a monster." Firth stood up and looked at the young man at the bottom of the canyon with his cloudy eyes wide, his shriveled lips trembling.

Kang Yu was a little confused: "Isn't it a monster? What is that?"

Firth murmured: "That is a wraith formed from the resentment of the dead Soma and Yeli city people, a divine envoy who can control the wraith for his own use..."

The discussion above is in full swing, and the little monsters below have crawled out.

With a bulging belly, it climbed down waving its tentacles, and its two short wings kept flapping behind it, but it was a pity that it couldn't carry its fat body at all.

Lu Fengdeng reached out to grab it, put it in his arms, and started walking up the mountain path.

Before he reached the place where everyone was, he saw Gu Xuezhong coming up to meet them.

The other party looked at the meat ball in Lu Fengdeng's arms. For some reason, the little monster felt a chill, and secretly nestled into the arms of the person holding him, burying himself.

Gu Xuezhong smiled and said, "Brother Lu, what is this? When did you have it?"

Lu Fengdeng walked and said, "When I was tracking the skeleton group, I saw it in the cave. I don't think it should appear here. It just happened that Sara said that the sacred tree appeared earlier. I guess it has something to do with the shrinking of the sacred tree. If it’s relevant, grab it.”

"It seems that it is so."

While the two of them were talking, Firth walked over slowly with his staff, looked at Lu Fengdeng with an unspeakable enthusiasm in his eyes, and said, "A long time ago, there was such a legend in Yeli City."

"The envoy who can control the spirit of resentment is the incarnation of the god. He will use the scepter in the hands of the priest to lead the people of God to the peaceful and rich promised land, where the people of God will live under the wings of the gods , never be threatened, and always have peace of mind."

"This envoy, are you willing to lead us to the promised land?"

At this moment, a mechanical female voice suddenly sounded in Lu Fengdeng's head:

"Congratulations to the Awakened for triggering the side mission - finding the Promised Land for the people of Yeli City."
