Chen Rui tried to bring the leftover fruit core into the Star Garden. The Pivot Fairy immediately flew over to take care of it. Sure enough, there was a system prompt: Unknown plant, maturity period is 10 days. The fruit will wither automatically after being picked. Seeds can be used to continue planting, which consumes energy every day.
Dust 10. Current status: immature.
It seems that the magic pomegranate fruit is similar to the spiritual fruit tree. The spiritual energy it exudes is lighter than that of the spiritual fruit, and the spiritual energy provided is also less than half. In addition to the spiritual energy, the refreshing effect is very good, and it is indeed rare.
thing.
Chen Rui thought of the system prompt that "the fruit will wither automatically after being picked." He ate the remaining fruits while picking them, which was a bit like the legacy of the great master Wukong who caused a havoc in the peach garden. Unfortunately, there was only one "peach tree".
There are only about a dozen "flat peaches".
As expected, every time a fruit is picked, the magic pomegranate tree withers a little bit. After picking the last fruit, the magic pomegranate fruit tree has completely withered, and the withered branches can no longer feel the vitality of the previous time.
.
Chen Rui burped and felt that the "washing" effect spread all over his body, which was extremely enjoyable. His mental strength and five senses seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
This kind of enjoyment can be relived ten days later, because those fruit pits have been planted in the Star Garden. After five are planted, the rest are handed over to the Privy Fairy.
The magic pomegranate fruit is an unexpected harvest. Now the fruit trees in Lulei Valley have withered. The biggest purpose of Chen Rui's coming today has been achieved. Without stopping, he immediately ordered the people of the Blood Guards to leave Lulei Valley quickly: "Brothers, the enemy's reinforcements are coming soon."
Let’s disperse and evacuate first, and then gather in the north of Laiya Town to break through, and someone will naturally respond when the time comes!”
The fruit trees are in hand, and the plan is close to success. As for someone from the north to respond - this is what "Bannak" said, and it has nothing to do with him, Chen Rui. Maybe by then, "the boss" will actually send someone to respond.
Upon hearing this, the group members quickly began to evacuate. On the way, they encountered a defense team headed by Ross who came for reinforcements. A melee broke out between the two sides. Chen Rui calmly disguised himself as a defense team member while "chasing" the bloody guards.
group, heading towards Laiya Town along the way.
At this time, in the mansion of the mayor of Leia Town, the banquet attendees had left the hall and were controlled in the courtyard. Old Kander was trying his best to use his own power to control the poison that was about to move in his body. He felt that his mind was getting more and more...
The more he became drowsy, the sweat dripped from his forehead, and even the dragon festival incense that usually brightens the mind and awakens the mind has lost its effectiveness.
"Lord Mayor! The Scarlet Guards have retreated from Lulay Valley and encountered Ross's defense team on the way."
Old Kander woke up and asked the most nervous question: "How is the magic pomegranate tree?"
"What magic pomegranate tree?" The guard who reported the news obviously did not know the secret of Lulay Valley.
Old Kander was anxious: "Idiot! This is the thing guarded by Lulei Valley!"
"This... there is no relevant news."
"Idiot, go and find out!" Although the ominous omen in his heart was getting closer and closer, Old Kander still held on to a sense of luck.
After a while.
"Lord Mayor! Lord Lux has captured Ross!"
Old Kander said hurriedly: "Quick! Let him bring Rose up!"
I saw Lux grabbing Rose and walking in. As soon as Rose saw old Kander, he quickly said: "Mayor, I am leading the defense team to chase down the Scarlet Guards. Why should I be relieved of my duties?"
"Pursuit? Are you covering up?" Old Kander gasped and walked forward, grabbing Rose's shirt on his chest: "Tell me! What kind of poison did you inject? What is the antidote?"
"Mr. Mayor, I don't understand what you are talking about?" Ross heard this and Monk Zhang Er was confused.
"At this point, you still dare to pretend!"
A loud and hard slap hit Rose's face, and stars suddenly appeared in his head. Although Rose was already a middle-level high-level demon, he still had no defense against the demon king-level strength of Old Kander. If it weren't for Old Kander
If he wanted to force him out of the antidote, just this one blow could kill him.
"Rose, I can forgive you for hiding the Purple Flame Heart secretly. I can also forgive you for colluding with Bannak and secretly taking Naliyi away, but you must hand over the antidote to me!" Old Kander roared repeatedly.
Everyone outside the yard heard it.
Only then did Ross realize how serious the crime was on his head, and he immediately cried out: "I have nothing to do with Naliyi anymore, and the Ziyan Heart is not in my hands! It is even more impossible to collude with Bannak! This must be
Someone has framed me!"
Old Kander smashed a letter in his face, and Rose immediately read it, his expression getting increasingly ugly: "Mayor, please believe me, I can confront Culia face to face!"
At this time, another person came to report: "Lord Mayor, Lord Robert found Banneker at the Bloody Stronghold. When he tried to arrest him, he resisted arrest and was seriously injured. At the same time, Kulia's body was found at the stronghold. He should have been killed by
Killed by Banneker, Banneker has now escaped."
"Very good," Old Kander looked at Rose with an increasingly gloomy look: "Now there is no evidence to prove it. If you don't hand over the antidote immediately, go and confront Kuria in front of the devil!"
Looking at the murderous look in Old Kander's eyes, Ross felt aggrieved as never before, and secretly gritted his teeth: He usually had no enmity with Kulia, and rarely even met him in person, yet he was framed like this for no reason!
The curse did work, and Kuria is now "dead".
There is no proof, and based on Rose's understanding of the old Kander, those unfounded charges have almost been firmly laid on his head.
The letter from "Culia" contained only a few sentences.
Bannak launched an attack on Old Kander's birthday to seize something important. Ross and Bannak colluded to secretly poison Old Kander, take Nalii away, and further seek to seize the position of mayor.
Culia had insight into the conspiracy between Banneker and Ross, was chased by Banneker, and asked Old Kander for asylum.
It's that simple, but just these few words drove Ross into an abyss of eternal destruction.
It has been two years since the Scarlet Guards came to Leia Town. Ross was also aware of the secret struggle between the two factions, but he did not expect that he would be involved. He kept cursing in his heart: Kuria, this bastard! He has a grudge with Bannak.
Forget it, why bother dragging me along!
By now, Ross understood that no matter how he explained, it would be considered a cover-up. It seemed that he could only find another way to save his life.
At this time, the urgent report came again: "The magic pomegranate tree in Lulei Valley has died, and the fruits have disappeared! From the torture of the prisoners of the Scarlet Guards captured by Master Baoliu, it was learned that the fruits were probably taken away by Bannerk.
!”
Old Kander was so angry that he immediately spat out a mouthful of purple blood and fell on the ground, corroding a burst of purple smoke, which showed the powerful toxins in his body, but Old Kander no longer paid attention to this.
It's over, it's all over!
The magic pomegranate tree is very special and cannot be transplanted at all. Once it leaves the ground where it grows, everything, including the fruit, will wither. Otherwise, it would have been transplanted and dedicated to the imperial capital. The magic pomegranate fruit must also be picked and harvested according to special methods.
Save, it is said that only the royal family of the Shadow Empire know that secret method, otherwise it will completely lose its effectiveness within five minutes of leaving the fruit tree!
Banneker, how come you know that kind of secret technique?
Maybe there are still some doubts about this matter, but now that the magic pomegranate tree has died, everything is meaningless! Even if Bannak is captured, it will not help!
The people from the imperial capital will arrive soon. By then... not only the mayor's throne, but also his life, and even the entire family... are really all finished!
Old Kander felt like the world was spinning, and he spurted out two more mouthfuls of blood. He felt that the power supporting his body completely collapsed. The poison that had been suppressed all over his body instantly filled his body. He was about to collapse. Lux, who was beside him, had quick eyes and quick hands to help him.
Ross suddenly moved, moving instantly.
He appeared at the door of the hall in an instant, and Lux was about to chase after him when he heard Rose shout: "Antidote!"
With that said, he threw a bottle of medicine aside. Lux teleported quickly to catch the medicine. At the same time, he loudly ordered the guards along the way to intercept. Lux took the medicine bottle in front of Old Kander.
Old Kander tremblingly took it and drank it, spit out another mouthful of blood, and grabbed Lux's hand: "This is just an ordinary antidote!"
"Notify the whole town, if you see Bannak and Ross, kill them..." Old Kander gasped for a few times, and felt that his mind was as heavy as iron stone. He could no longer speak, and purple drops appeared on his hands and body.
Due to the smoke, the surface layer of the skin has begun to corrode and turn into fly ash.
In the hazy moment, I seemed to hear a familiar voice: My soul will curse you forever, until your dirty and old body rots and turns into ashes...
Ross had maximized all his potential and fought his way out of the mayor's mansion, regardless of his injuries and running desperately. Since Old Kander's pursuit order had not been fully conveyed at this time, there was nothing along the way.
Someone stopped Ross, but looked at the defense captain running wildly in surprise. However, the town was already chaotic today, so there might be some emergency.
The act of throwing out the "antidote" in front of everyone just now has invisibly confirmed the "crime", but he can no longer care about so much. Staying in the mayor's mansion is definitely a death sentence. He must survive before he can hope to regain his innocence.
and power, this matter seems complicated and confusing, and there may be another mastermind behind it. As Ross fled, he cursed the guy who framed him in the most vicious language.
A person came running towards me. This person was wearing a cloak, and his true face could not be seen clearly. This was a very common costume in the demon world. He seemed to be in a hurry and ran towards him in a hurry.
Ross instinctively felt a sense of crisis in his heart. Although his combat effectiveness was not top-notch among the high-level demons in the mid-level, and he climbed to the position of captain of the defense team mainly by trying to please and even betray his fiancée, but after all, he was
High level demon.
The sense of crisis was getting closer and closer. In an instant, all the strength in Ross's body was gathered together. His strong will to survive allowed him to display his super-level strength. Just as the two of them passed each other, Ross suddenly activated teleportation and moved away.
Arrived further ahead.
The man paused slightly, didn't look back, and started running again.
In the eyes of a little lemure on the road ahead: Ross teleported in front of him. As soon as his body appeared, he still maintained a running posture. Affected by inertia, he leaned forward slightly, and his huge head suddenly fell down.
Ross's body fell to the ground, blood stained the ground, and there was still a horrified expression on his head.
The little lemure screamed in fright, but the cloaked man had disappeared.
In fact, the cloaked man heard the news about Bannak's escape to the north and went to the north of the town to find the main target. He didn't expect that Ross would be able to escape from the hands of old Kander, let alone that he would be killed by him on the way.
come across.
Maybe, there is some kind of guidance in the dark, that woman in the flames, that teardrop that cannot be melted by the fire.
Without any hesitation, he used all his strength with one blow.
This knife actually didn't touch Ross, it was just the invisible sword energy that passed by Ross's neck.
But this is enough.
One knife, beheaded.
This is a tear that he used to pay homage to the flames in his own way.
He is no longer a weakling with no strength, whose life and death are controlled by others. Of course, he cannot and cannot change the entire world where the weak and the strong prey on each other. This is true whether it is this world or another world. He just uses himself
He only has the power to do things he feels he wants to do, even if these things are ridiculous or unnecessary in the eyes of others. This is him, a human being reborn in the devil world.
Ross is dead, and only Banneker is left.
After completing this task, it was time to return to the Dark Moon to face the test of Araux. Before that, Chen Rui did not plan to see Athena. After he passed the test of the war contract without any distractions, he decided to go with
She discusses life events in depth.
Bannak was in a worse mood than Ross just now. He found Kulia's body in the bloody stronghold. Before he could figure out what was going on, Robert led a group of people and surrounded the stronghold aggressively. Usually, this Robert was still friendly.
He had been drinking together, but now he turned his face and refused to acknowledge anyone else. Immediately afterwards, Robert's people discovered Culia's body upstairs and immediately ordered his men to arrest him.
Of course, Banneker refused to be captured. During the conflict, he injured Robert and fled with several captured members. On the way, he met some bloody members who had withdrawn from the Luray Valley and followed him in a daze.
Fleeing to the north of the town. Halfway through, Banneker finally found out some of the ins and outs, and was immediately shocked.
What happened is probably:
He killed Kulia with his own hands.
He received the order from "higher authority" and led the Scarlet Guards to attack the Lulay Valley.
He successfully completed the mission and was leading the remaining members of the group to successfully evacuate towards the north exit of Laiya Town.
Yes, he is indeed "leading" the members to "successfully evacuate". The question is, why did he lead these people to escape? As the "protagonist", he had no knowledge of the previous events.
Today, aren’t we going to attend the birthday party of the mayor, Elder Kander? Why is it like this!
