Very good, this time it responded. Sure enough, it is the right idea to try various keywords first.

Yu Yueming just felt a little lucky, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

Wait, why can the other party understand him?

The NPC couldn't understand his words, and could only hear the barking of dogs. So, is the dead tree responding to his words now, or is it just awakened by his voice?

He didn't think about this question for long, because the other party's reaction quickly gave him an answer.

Several cracks slowly cracked from the dead tree, and white teeth were exposed in the cracks. The chaotic, hoarse and strange words that were not as vocal as human voices came from the cracks.

"Chengjie? Chengcheng, Chengchengchengjie? He came to look for me, came to me? Where is he? Where is he?"

This lady, you are a bit serious about taking things out of context. It was your sister who asked us to come to you and your boyfriend... Yu Yueming took a few steps back cautiously to prevent the other party from being too excited and suddenly launching an attack.

However, since the other party will say this name, it means that she can indeed understand her words. Why is this? Because she has become a monster? Can the monster understand his words? Or is there any other reason?

The surface of the dead tree was constantly squirming, and more organs appeared on the surface.

The numerous ears, noses, fingers, toes, hair, and even many fragments of clothing appear fragmented on the surface of the dead tree, like countless dense tumors.

Seeing this scene, Yu Yueming took a few steps back again with some discomfort.

The dead tree seemed to have noticed his actions, and countless vines tightened and ejected out, attacking everyone like projected spears.

"Where is Chengjie?! Where is he?!"

Several mouths cracked on the dead trees roared hysterically, and the vines hit the land in front of everyone one after another, pounding countless broken branches and gravels.

"...I now understand why those veterans attack when they meet."

He almost avoided a sharp gravel beside him, and Yu Yueming sighed while stretching the distance.

Anyway, I can’t communicate, so it’s better to take the lead.

"Only veterans can do this. If you went up to attack just now, you would probably have been seriously injured." Lin Qiushuang had the ease of breaking the back, and at the same time did not forget to guide the two newcomers.

This dead tree seemed much more violent than the previous one, and attacked more frequently and violently. Seeing that it could not attack the target, it let out a harsh roar again. The vines directly broke the surrounding trees, rolled up the broken trunks and branches, and threw them towards everyone!

"This is a slap?!"

Yu Yueming watched the vines work together to pull up a big tree with a diameter of nearly one meter and prepare to smash it at them, and he was a little dull.

"Who told you to fight? Run!"

Lin Qiushuang decisively threw out a knife and accurately pierced into the eyes on the surface of the dead tree.

The dead tree let out a sad scream, and was instantly diverted and focused its attack on the human being who caused damage to it.

Taking advantage of the help of seniors to attract firepower, Yu Yueming and Qi Yuanze quickly got out of the battle and tried their best to sprint away from the dead trees to escape.

During the escape, Yu Yueming turned around and looked at the situation and was surprised to find that the soil at the root of the dead tree was constantly surging - judging from this situation, the tree seemed to be planning to pull itself out of the soil!

Can it actually move? Yes, it is not a real tree after all, and it should have moved here by itself...

Yu Yueming stopped by the river and looked in the direction where Lin Qiushuang was broken with some concern.

Fortunately, in just one or two minutes, the veteran appeared in front of them again, and there seemed to be no trace of injury.

"Are you okay?" Yu Yueming asked.

"I'm fine." Lin Qiushuang patted the dust on her body. "That guy's movements looked huge, but it was still easy to hide."

"I just saw the roots of that tree poking out of the soil. Will it chase after it?"

"I noticed it too." Lin Qiushuang didn't look panicked, "Its speed is not as fast as anyone walking normally and can't catch up with us."

"So, what should I do next?" Qi Yuanze asked.

Lin Qiushuang stared at the void in front of her and then replied: "Our mission has been completed. It's getting dark, so let's go back to the campsite first."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yueming also glanced at his panel and found that the description of the original task had become [Stage Task 1: Finding the whereabouts of the missing person in the mountains and forests (2/2) (completed)], and a line of words about the new task also appeared below.

[Stage Task 2: Report the whereabouts of the missing person to the client]

——

Back at the campsite, Lin Qiushuang found the luggage she had placed before, simply set up a tent, heated up the simple food she carried, and made a meal that was just right.

Yu Yueming struggled with the canned ring. He carefully hooked the ring with the tip of his claws, then bit it with his teeth, and was also careful not to break the ring first, which really took some effort.

Speaking of claws, he noticed that unlike most dogs' nails that were flattened, the claws of this body were not worn badly, and they still retained the sharp claw tips. I don't know if it was because they had less movement before, or because the claws of this body were harder than ordinary dogs.

After struggling with canned meat, Yu Yueming looked at the foot of the mountain.

As night falls, sporadic lights have been lit up in the direction of the village one after another.

He looked at the warm lights over there, then the simple objects such as portable food, sleeping bags, etc., and felt that the situation of his group seemed a bit desolate.

"Get used to it." Lin Qiushuang seemed to understand his eyes, "Although the novice mission is generally not too dangerous, it is not necessary for us to do this. But in future copies, this kind of sleeping in the wild is common, and you can exercise in advance."

"I have no objection." Yu Yueming just saw it and sighed. He didn't really want to go back to the village. Among the team, he might be the one who thinks that something is wrong with that village. "I'm just thinking, is it really safe to be here so close to those two strange trees?"
