Chapter 29 Wolf Valley

According to the map of the Monster Tree Alliance, the dark forest with a square outline does confirm the judgment that it is not the Sword Immortal, and the forest map is likely to be a fairly regular square. Taking the opening point of the corridor as the starting point, two hypotenuses outlined by forest trees continue to extend. The position of the strange tree guard is in the middle of the hypotenuse, and the leader of the strange tree guard stands near the end of the hypotenuse, very close to the square map. The other half is the territory belonging to the "shepherd boy".

After hearing the news from the forest supply office, Yi Yan and Not the Sword Immortal moved forward quickly without stopping. The two of them cooperated more and more tacitly, and with the help of junior pea shooters, they easily cleared away the scattered Shadow Eaters encountered on the road. It didn't take long for them to see Another big tree appeared in the middle of the road.

"It's really strange. I haven't seen strangers in a long time. Are you here to clean up the bugs? I don't know why, but the gardener has been a little lazy recently and forgot to spray pesticides regularly."

The strange tree guard looks more mature than the strange tree guard. The ends of two long eyebrows made of branches and leaves droop on the outside of the eyes full of wisdom, swaying in the wind. And if the two players who heard "Gardener" again didn't realize the fishiness in it, they would be really out of touch.

"May I ask Your Majesty the Guard Chief, who is the gardener you are talking about?"

Ember asked, while puffing out his chest and deliberately showing off the green leaf brooch pinned to his protective suit.

"Oh! Look what I saw, Monster Tree Alliance! Haha, you must have helped the young man in front." Seeing the green leaves of the strange tree guard captain, his eyes widened slightly, showing a look of joy. He was not originally It wanted to introduce the gardener, so it made an exception and said, "The gardener is the only human entity derivative in the entire manor. It is responsible for taking care of all the animals and plants in the manor. It occasionally enters the Dark Forest to clean up garbage, heal wounds, and solve problems for us. Insect infestation.”

[Hint: You have obtained the identity information of the "Gardener". 】

Such a reminder would not appear for no reason. It was not the Sword Immortal who nodded slightly to Yu Ember. Both of them realized that the main mission that had not appeared yet might be related to the gardener.

"The gardener built two huts in the Dark Forest, one in the plant forest area and one in the animal forest area. If he stays overnight, he usually stays in a certain hut. But the strange thing is that I haven't seen it for a while. It’s his turn.”

Finding that the captain of the strange tree guard looked puzzled, Yi Yan immediately asked, wanting to know where the gardener's hut was. However, the captain of the strange tree guard immediately looked at Ember with vigilance: "You seem to be particularly interested in the gardener. I hope it's not out of malice."

It seems that the key information cannot be obtained so easily.

Yi Yan put it away when he saw it, and quietly took a half step back. Immediately, the Sword Immortal stepped forward and began to ask about the news of Wolf Valley.

"Wolf Valley..."

Seeing that the questioner had changed, the leader of the strange tree guard softened his attitude slightly. He seemed to hate the existence of Wolf Valley as well, so he made no secret of it when telling the story: "Wolf Valley was not actually called Wolf Valley before. It was later named after the Animal Forest Area." A stray wolf came from the side, drove away the original owner, occupied the territory for himself, and renamed it Wolf Valley. The gardener once warned it that if it did anything wrong in the botanical garden, he would drive it back, but this guy His hands and feet are not clean, he always sneaks out when the gardener is not around and robs the survival resources of nearby animals and plants."

"You want to kill that evil wolf? This is great! I have wanted to get rid of that scourge for a long time, but due to the presence of the gardener, I couldn't do it." After the surprise, the captain of the strange tree guard showed a pensive look. "But you may not be strong enough. The fighting power of that evil wolf is not much different from mine. I have to guard the supply department and cannot leave even half a step. If you insist on taking risks, you can join forces with the previous owner of Wolf Valley."

Then, the leader of the strange tree guard stretched out two branches and gently touched the brooches of the two Embers: "I have already told you its location. If it succeeds, I will give you some reward."

[Hint: You accepted the side mission - "Wolf Trouble"]

…

Mission name: [Wolf Trouble]

Requirement: Kill the wolf in Wolf Valley

Rewards: contribution points, credit points, the right to purchase hidden goods in the forest supply department, main clues

Introduction: The evil wolf occupying the magpie's nest has seriously affected the living environment of surrounding creatures. Seeing your determination to get rid of the wolf, the chief guard of the strange tree entrusts you with this arduous task. After the task is completed, he will give you Satisfactory return.

[Tip: This task is extremely difficult, please proceed with caution. 】

…

"Oh, that's right! That guy may have been having a rough time recently. Not only was his territory robbed, but he also had to pay for it every day. After the pests spread, he probably wouldn't even be able to guarantee his share of the donation." The head of the strange tree guard said helplessly. Shaking his head, he suddenly twisted his waist, pulled out two tree legs from the ground, ran to a big tree on the roadside, tapped the trunk, and actually opened the forest supply house hidden here.

The two players looked at each other in confusion, and then saw the strange tree guard holding a golden banana and squatting back in the original tree pit.

"Originally, you couldn't buy this banana even if you had money, but since you are here to help, I have to show some kind of gesture. You give this thing to that unlucky guy to recuperate, otherwise we will fight later. , it probably won’t be able to stand firmly. Of course, this banana can at most restore some of its vitality. If you want it to be full and full of energy, you can buy some [Sweet Fruits] from me at a discount. of."

Ember took the golden banana that was introduced as a mission item and rejected the strange tree guard captain's trade request because there were still a few sweet tree fruits seized from the insect nest. Afterwards, the captain of the strange tree guard shared the field of view with the two players, and then watched Yu Ember and Not the Sword Fairy embark on the road to eliminate the wolf.

"Sigh... I really hope this forest can be a little more peaceful. The gardener really hasn't been seen for so long. If these two humans can really get rid of the wolf, I can ask them to find out the whereabouts of the gardener. "

…

According to the forest map shared by the leader of the strange tree guard, Ember discovered that the helper they were looking for was actually near Wolf Valley, and there were two roads leading there. One was through the stream that divided the plant half area and the animal half area. The second is to continue to drill through the bushes and cross the mountains.

After the two discussed, they still gave up on the shorter waterway. The concentration of the dark curtain here has exceeded a certain limit, causing the water flow in the creek to carry a corrosive effect. Ember with a primary protective suit is not afraid, but it is not the animal skin that the Sword Immortal just obtained. Armor has no resistance to corrosion.

Although taking the overland route was a bit long, the two of them were able to kill some shadow-eating insects halfway along the way. Counting back and forth, the two of them jointly killed more than fifty. Every ten Shadow Eater Bugs you clean up can be exchanged for two hundred credit points, and one strengthened Young Shadow Eater Bug is equal to one hundred points. Yi Yan did not buy the cultivation battery immediately because he wanted to see the hidden products in the supply department before making any plans, no. Sword Immortal, the same is true.

"We're here, it should be here."

Not the Sword Immortal checked the environment against the map and confirmed that the two had arrived at their destination.

This is a forest of dead trees backed by the Wolf Valley and surrounded by mountains. Due to the rampant pests, even the bark of the trees on the outside had been chewed clean. Yi Yan and Not the Sword Immortal walked into the forest with vigilance, and actually saw something Just a monkey that was fighting a bloody battle with the enhanced young shadow-eating bug.

The monkey is very thin, but it can dance like a tiger with a wooden stick in its hand. However, it is a little weak in physical strength, and its several attacks lack strength and speed. Instead, the opponent takes the opportunity to attack, although it has killed many people nearby. The ordinary shadow-eating insects who helped out gradually fell into defeat.

"superior!"

Seeing this, Yi Yan and Not the Sword Immortal immediately stepped forward to help. The Shadow Eater, which had always liked to bully the smaller ones, became the one being bullied. The two men and the monkey attacked from behind and killed it easily. Saved the thin monkey's life.

It's a pity that the enhanced young shadow-eating bug didn't drop anything this time, but after the thin monkey was rescued, he suddenly let go of the stick and fell straight to the ground, his eyes closed and motionless.

This scene really shocked the two of them. The helper they finally found died like this?

It wasn't the Sword Immortal who hurriedly checked and breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the thin monkey had fainted due to excessive consumption. Yan Yan was dumbfounded as he took out the golden banana and waved it in front of the monkey again and again. When he smelled the aroma of the food, his eyelids twitched and he suddenly came back to his senses. He straightened up like a carp and looked at the golden banana, scratching his ears and cheeks, drooling.

"Eat, this, these are all yours."

Ember placed the golden banana and the sweet red fruit on the ground, then took a step back to show that he meant no harm.

When the thin monkey saw the food in front of him, he could no longer resist the hunger in his belly. He held a banana in one hand and hugged the fruit in the other, and began to eat crazily. After a while, the banana entered his stomach and he also ate a lot of fruit, but it Mingming's eyes lit up when he looked at the remaining fruits, but he refused to finish them all.

It wasn't that the Sword Immortal saw its concerns and immediately smiled and said: "Eat, we are here to help you regain your territory. We only hope that you can work with us to get rid of that evil wolf."

Hearing this, the thin monkey was stunned for a long time. Just when the two players thought that it could not understand human language, with tears of emotion in its eyes, it stuffed two fruits into its mouth at once, making its cheeks bulge.
