The soldiers did not dare to neglect and immediately took the dragon beast's excrement to find the Star Mage Group, while Xiwei endured her anger and wandered around the rooms in the camp, hoping to find some useful clues.

After some searching.

He only found a badge.

On this badge, a naked and muscular human is piercing the spear in his hand into the head of an orc.

The picture is wonderful and pretty.

With blood and violence.

It also promotes human strength.

This badge may be something left by the previous perpetrators, representing the identity and background of those perpetrators.

Xiwei put the badge away, walked outside the camp, and came to six strange-looking "trees".

From a distance, these indeed look like six withered trees.

But take a closer look.

But you can vaguely see a tree trunk covered with vines that looks like a female body.

Xi Wei frowned and pulled out the dagger from his waist, and then gently pulled it on the tree trunk. With a "squeak" sound, the cut vines leaked out a smelly red liquid, revealing what was hidden under the trunk.

That was the body of a demihuman girl.

The little bit of skin exposed in front of Xi Wei's eyes had been completely penetrated by the roots of the trees, and it was as densely packed as if the entire tree grew from the girl's body as soil.

In other words, we need to remove the word "like".

[Parasite tree (Fantasy Devil Vine)]

[A very rare plant requires a specific virgin as a seedbed to take root and sprout, and the fruit it grows is called the fantasy fruit. 】

[The fantasy fruit looks beautiful, and after being eaten, it will produce a strong hallucinogenic effect. If the juice of the fantasy fruit is injected into the human body, the person will be driven by desire, lose memory, and become a slave of desire]

[The Fantasy Fruit only grows in the Northern Continent, and the specific reason for its formation is unknown...]

"So, you were captured and made into a seedbed for this parasitic tree?"

Xi Wei murmured to himself.

The girl in front of her had a withered face, and her eye sockets and mouth had already been filled with the roots of the parasitic tree.

That horrifying look seemed to be telling Xi Wei her despair and pain.

"I will help you get revenge, I will find those people." M.

"rest in peace."

Xiwei stood in front of the parasitic tree, with one hand clenched on his chest, his expression solemn, and the knights following him did the same.

Under the dim sky, the sunlight is a little dim.

A cold wind blew by.

The dry vines on the parasitic tree swayed gently in the wind, and a few leaves swirled and fell down. The blood-red leaves looked so shocking in the green grass.

The grass and trees drooped in the north wind.

The king and knights stood in front of the strange trees with their heads bowed, their bright red cloaks flapping in the wind.

This scene is both bizarre and solemn.

"Dig a pit, move the body into the pit and burn it. Burn these six trees as well."

Xiwei sighed, turned around and left this hellish camp.

…

"Master, what happened ahead?"

Loli looked at the thick smoke coming out of the forest not far away with a confused expression. At the same time, she also felt that Xiwei seemed to be in a bad mood.

"It's nothing. A human caravan was attacked by monsters, and corpses were left on the ground. It looked a little uncomfortable."

"So I ordered my soldiers to burn these corpses, and we can continue our journey later."

Xiwei smiled reluctantly.

He would not tell Lori and Roy those cruel scenes.

"oh oh……"

Although Loli still had some questions, since Xiwei didn't want to say it, she wouldn't force it.

If there is something that Xiwei doesn't want her to know, then it must mean that it's not good for her to know about it.

Lori won't ask.

If you don't know, you don't know. As long as you can be by Xi Wei's side, you can turn a blind eye to everything.

After stabilizing the emotions of the girls, Xiwei found an excuse to leave everyone's sight, and then came to the team of the Star Mage Group.

"how is it now?"

"Can you locate the direction of the dragon beast?"

Xiwei knew that tracking the magic circle also had limitations.

Tracking media must be fresh.

It cannot exceed one week.

Those corpses had been dead for about three or four days, and Xiwei desperately hoped that the feces of these dragon beasts were still within the tracking time range.

"Your Majesty, we have tracked the direction of the dragon beast. Just continue walking in the northwest direction. We will report the latest direction to you at any time."

Xing Yi knelt down on one knee and handed a magic compass into Xi Wei's hands.

Afterwards, the directions tracked by their star wizards will be directly fed back to Xiwei through this magic compass.

"very good."

Xiwei tightened her grip on the compass.

The northwest direction happens to be the direction of the Kalanli Empire, which saves a thing.

"Perhaps this matter has some connection with the Kalanli Empire?"

"Don't let me down, the king of Kalanli..."

Looking at the black smoke rising straight into the forest, Xiwei's eyes glowed coldly.

…

…

Three days later.

The royal capital of Kalanli.

"Your Majesty, King Winter has led his army to the outside of the city wall."

The bloated minister half-knelt in front of King Kalanli and reported respectfully.

"Sir Omut, how many troops does King Winter bring?"

Kalanli sat on the throne, half-squinting his eyes, looking sleepy.

This is a normal reaction after just eating the fruit of a parasitic tree, and you don’t look energetic.

After all, exposure to happiness is a very draining thing.

"Uh... Your Majesty, forgive me for being stupid, but I can't estimate how many troops King Winter has brought, but it looks like a vast ocean with no end in sight..."

"There are so many?!"

King Kalanli's eyes widened a little.

Even his rickety old body sat upright.

He leaned forward slightly.

He seemed to be trying to identify whether the minister in front of him was lying.

However, Omut looked silly.

At first glance, he looks like an idiot who can't panic.

"You can't see the end of the city wall. This time King Winter should bring more than 50,000 troops. It's really a big deal..."

"Is this really the kind of army a newly founded country should have?"

King Kalanli muttered to himself.

He decided to meet the Winter King himself.

This can not only reflect the etiquette, but also explore the reality of the Winter King.

See the true strength of the Winter King's army.

If it is true as Minister Aumut said, then he cannot be treated on an equal footing with King Winter as planned.
