Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

Chapter 126: The Messenger of the Lord of Autumn

"Then what do you think we should do next?"

Shi Li asked Ah Qing again.

"Go to the entrance of the village and watch, waiting for a mission to come to your door."

Ah Qing raised his sign.

"..., are you still thinking about Mr. Grasshopper?"

Shi Li couldn't help complaining.

"Then according to the rules of RPG, go to the tavern and ask for news."

Ah Qing showed while writing: "Then there will be sudden fights."

"What era of RPG are you talking about..."

Shi Li took a look at the surrounding environment: "And it's such a broken place, where is there any tavern?"

"Then find a villager, help him with some small favors, and then take the opportunity to obtain information."

Ah Qing raised the sign again, only to find that Shi Li had already walked in front of a villager.

"Hi fellow, I'll get straight to the point."

"ah?"

"What happened in this village recently?"

"ah?"

Shi Li immediately asked the question, which completely confused the villager.

"Can't you go around a bit?"

Ah Qing raised the sign and complained.

"You are... the son who came out to travel, right?"

However, the villagers looked at Shili's posture of bringing a maid, a demon pet and a servant, and they were stunned.

Ah Qing:?

"Young master, please take a detour and don't stay in this village."

Then, the villager sighed with a bitter expression.

"Tell me in detail."

Shi Li directly put his arms around the opponent's shoulders.

Detours and detours are troublesome and time-consuming.

"This is the village controlled by Lord Autumn. If you stay too long, you will be sucked out of your soul."

The villagers looked at Ah Qing, pointed at it and said, "Before Autumn Lord appeared, I was even fatter than you."

"?"

Ah Qing was unhappy when she heard this, and raised her fist in a gesture of "hit you".

"You can scold me, but you can't insult me."

It holds up a sign.

"..., scolding you is insulting you."

Shi Li was a little speechless, and then looked at the villagers: "Who is the Lord of Autumn?"

Next, they got general information from the villagers.

In fact, the gathering place of each monster clan's dwellings has been carefully selected.

This kind of place has accumulated a lot of evil energy over time.

Yaoqi is a necessity for the survival of the Yaozu, and it is also something they need to cultivate and become stronger.

So for the monsters, the monster energy has the same attraction.

From time to time, some monster beasts would be attracted by the monster aura and come to the gathering place of the monster clan.

Among them, those who are relatively intelligent will live in harmony with the monster clan and even stay.

Those without intelligence will pose a threat to the life of the demon clan and be expelled or dealt with.

The Lord of Autumn is such a monster that has been attracted.

It's just that its origin is unknown, its type is also unknown, and it has not even appeared in person so far.

There is no doubt that this mysterious monster that can seriously affect the survival of the monster race must be extremely powerful.

In addition, it makes the environment look like autumn, so it is called the Lord of Autumn.

And unlike ordinary monsters, Autumn Lord seems to have spiritual intelligence, but he doesn't seem to have it.

It does not communicate with any monster race, but it does not pose any direct threat to the gathering place.

It will only keep sucking the monster energy from all the monster energy gathering places around it.

The current appearance of the village and the villagers is the result of the Autumn Lord's long-term robbing of the evil spirit.

"Then why don't you leave here?"

Ah Qing heard this and held up the sign.

"It's not easy to say, all the surrounding monsters are occupied by the Lord of Autumn."

"A little farther away, the road is steep and there are still monsters entrenched."

"If we stay here and rely on the Autumn Lord to absorb the remaining residual demonic energy, we can barely make a living. If we go out for a while, we may disappear in the blink of an eye."

"Only a powerful monster clan team like you, son, can come here smoothly."

The villagers explained.

It's not that they don't want to go, but they can't.

Before the strength reaches a certain level, the Yaozu who is equivalent to the level of ordinary people cannot live in an ordinary environment for too long.

Because if they lose the nourishment and supply of monster energy, ordinary monster races may belch within a month.

Like those ordinary monsters living in human cities and counties, they need to buy monster energy regularly to survive.

For them, evil spirit is equivalent to water, air and food, and it is a necessity.

This is also why in this world, the population of the monster race is much smaller than that of the human race.

"Then... is there no one from the Wood Monster Clan to take care of it?"

Shi Li remembered that except Thirteen introduced, it seems that the five great monster clans of gold, wood, water, fire and earth all have so-called big monster leaders.

Except for Xinghe Wuque, the big monster of the Jin clan who disappeared, the other big monsters of the monster clan are still alive.

Since there is a leader, there is naturally an organization.

Such things that endanger people's livelihood should not be allowed to happen.

"Since you mentioned this, I'm not sleepy."

The villager's originally sluggish temperament suddenly changed, and his eyes became bright.

He is a master of politics in the village, and he loves to give advice.

To what extent is it powerful.

It is probably the kind that is pulled into the group and can disband the group within 3 days.

"This matter has to start from the catastrophe nearly a hundred years ago..."

"..." x2

In the end, after he finished speaking, Shi Li obtained the information after refinement.

What happened in this remote area, under normal circumstances, the big demon can't control it.

Therefore, the surrounding villagers had no choice but to trek across mountains and mountains to seek help from the city lord of the nearest city and county.

But that city lord is from the Jin Yao clan, and the relationship between the Jin Yao, Fire Monster and Wood Monster has never been harmonious.

And the villages that were harmed by the Autumn Lord were all wood demon villages.

In addition, the Golden Monster Clan has been a bit chaotic lately, so the city lord seems to have no intention of responding to their plea for help.

Speaking of the chaos within the Golden Monster, it originated from the recent wind blowing in the Golden Monster clan, saying that they wanted to re-elect the leader of the Great Monster.

After all, the big monster Xinghe Wuque has been missing for a long time.

In fact, 90% of the villagers' words were spent on the chaos within the Golden Monster Clan.

Generally speaking, this piece of information is of little help to Shili and the others.

"Then do you know where the Autumn Lord is?"

Shi Li's final question is this.

Their mission is to solve the village's problems, so if they kill Qiuzhu, it's over.

"That's not what I know."

The villagers shook their heads, and then said again: "However, at the entrance to the east of the village, you can find the messenger of the Lord of Autumn."

[Ding dong! 】

[Task 2 stage, find the messenger of the Lord of Autumn]

As the words fell, a new subtitle popped up in front of Shi Li's eyes.

It turns out that the key information of the mission is here. It is really useless to listen to so many long speeches from the other party.

"Let's go, let's meet that messenger."

Shi Li waved his hand, motioning everyone to go.

The village is not big, and the entrance they came in was from the west.

So go straight through and soon come to the east exit.

Without looking too much, they saw something particularly conspicuous outside the entrance of the village at a glance.

It was a root that broke through the ground like a bamboo shoot, pointing to the sky.

It is about 2 or 3 meters high, and its diameter is no less than that of ordinary old trees.

Besides, the other trees are all withered and withered, only this one has a golden skin and looks vibrant.

"This is the messenger of the Autumn Lord?"

At the beginning, he still had doubts, why would there be any messenger under the monster beast.

Now that I understand it, it seems to be some kind of rattan monster boy or something.

"hello."

Ah Qing walked up to the golden root and held up the sign.

But Jin Genli stood there motionless and did not respond at all.

After thinking for a while, it took out the portraits of the God of Wealth and Yuelao, and pasted them on the gold root.

Still the same, Jin Gen stood there quietly.

"..., that's enough, put away those two things of yours."

Shi Li couldn't stand it anymore, and walked forward: "This guy obviously has no eyes, how could he see your things."

He patted Gold Root.

The epidermis feels hard, yet still unresponsive.

If you look carefully, you will also find some small holes on the roots that are as thin as pinholes.

Unlike Ah Qing who was wearing a doll costume, when he put his palm on it, he could feel an obvious but not very strong suction.

Tried to communicate with the other person, but got no response at all.

This thing doesn't look like a monster, it's a plant or something.

Just at this time, an old wooden demon farmer carrying a pole passed by the village and saw them.

"Don't you guys want to get rid of this big thing?"

The old farmer looked at their faces and thought they were young heroes who were passing by and wanted to do justice.

During this period of time, occasionally there would be a few such masters appearing, but they all returned in vain.

So he persuaded: "It's useless, this is the messenger of the Autumn Lord, and he can't be beaten to death."

"Someone in the village tried it before. Even if it is cut with the sharpest knife, it can only leave a little shallow mark, and the damaged epidermis will automatically recover in a blink of an eye."

"Is it so magical?"

When he heard it, he frowned.

"If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."

The old farmer put down his shoulder pole, intending to watch the excitement.

"Well……"

But Shi Li took a look, they didn't have any knives in their hands.

So he borrowed a hatchet from the old farmer and gave it to the sheep and rabbit.

If you still need to do it yourself, then why do you need follower cards?

So Yangtu took the hatchet and walked to the golden root.

[Ah duo duo duo! 】

I saw that she swung the hatchet almost into an afterimage, and slashed on the surface of the golden root with a knife.

Those who know martial arts are really different. Every one of her strikes is precisely in the same place, causing continuous attacks on the golden root.

Bang bang bang bang!

There was a metallic collision, and sparks even flew out.

"Whoa whoa!"

This posture shocked the old farmer: "This little girl is a piece of material for chopping firewood."

But in the next second, he reacted: "Wait! My hatchet!"

He stopped Yangtu and took back the hatchet, only to find that the blade was curled.

Everyone looked at the surface of the golden root again, but it was as the old farmer said, there were no major scars at all.

Even with so many slashes with the skill of a sheep and a rabbit, it only produced a gash about 2cm deep, which could barely break the skin.

This golden root is really not an ordinary thing. The skin was broken, and the stem exposed inside was actually golden, and even the liquid that flowed out was also golden.

And the movement and movement have reached this point, it still doesn't respond, just like a very ordinary plant.

"Look, I've said it all, you can't do anything about it."

The old farmer put away the hatchet in distress.

Seeing that Shi Li and the others still seemed unwilling to give up, he didn't do much to dissuade them.

Picked up the pole again and left.

"It seems that ordinary things can't cure it."

When the old farmer walked away, Shi Li touched his chin and spoke.

In his opinion, this thing must be a proper monster.

It's just that the type is something I haven't seen before.

"What shall we do now?"

Ah Qing held up the sign.

According to the task chain, they found the messenger of Lord Autumn.

However, the task was not updated to enter the next stage, and some lost their direction.

"Hehehe..."

But Shi Li smiled like a villain at this moment: "Actually, I have an identity, and you don't know it."

Ah Qing: "The card shop moth?"

Shi Li: "?"

Ah Qing: "Empty salary supervisor?"

Shi Li: "Aren't these two talking about the same thing?"

Ah Qing: "Hell Rider?"

Shi Li: "Who told you these things, you give me your name, I will never embarrass anyone."

Ah Qing: "You say we don't know anymore, so how can I guess, let's find out."

"Okay, hehehehe..."

Finally, under Ah Qing's urging, he shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm a real person—a registered monster extermination."

"I'm the best at eliminating demons."

As he spoke, he pulled out the iron rod from his waist.

Then give it to the goat and rabbit.

Well, it's not him who is exterminating demons, but his stick.

As an equipment card, as long as he licenses it, of course it can be used by others.

What's more, the Sheep Rabbit is still his follower card, and he doesn't even need a license to use the Iron Rod.

[Baa Zha~! 】

The goat and rabbit who took over the iron rod were dexterous and vigorous, making Shi Li's iron rod rotate in a circle in his hand, and then firmly grasped it.

Boom!

Then, the iron rod hit the golden root.

The moment the iron rod and the golden root touched, a wisp of immortal energy poured into its body.

Boom, boom, boom...!

Shi Li and Ah Qing felt their feet vibrate suddenly, and the soil on the ground was obviously raised.

It's like the golden root is in pain and struggling.

Clap!

Then there was a crisp sound like a balloon being punctured, and the entire golden root shrank rapidly.

After a while, it collapsed into a dark strip, and something like a skin sac collapsed on the ground.

Compared with the golden appearance just now, it is like a sky and an earth.

"So easy to kill?"

Ah Qing held up the sign in surprise.

"Hehe, of course, Demon Exterminator."

Shi Li pointed at himself with his thumb, thought it was wrong, and then pointed to the iron rod: "Devil-killing stick."

At this time, he had completely concluded that the messenger of the Autumn Lord was not a strange thing.

It's just a pure plant monster, because this shriveled appearance after being attacked by the immortal energy is exactly the same as when dealing with other plant monsters before.

"But you killed it, so what do we do next?"

Ah Qing asked.

"That's a good question."

Shi Li snapped his fingers.

Then, Ah Qing found that the atmosphere became silent.

"?"

It draws a question mark.

"I do not know either."

Shi Li spread his hands: "According to the RPG law you said, shouldn't it be true that if you hit the young ones, they will grow old, and if you hit the old ones, they will come back to the coffin..."

Rumble rumble rumble!

As a result, his words fell, and the ground shook again.

A more bulging bulge than before stood up under their feet.

"Run!"

Ah Qing felt something was wrong and held up the sign.

"You still have time to write!"

Shi Li had already dragged it and ran outside.

【Goose, Goose, Goose, Goose! 】

Ah Qing's big goose flapped its wings and swayed its buttocks, and followed behind them with a clatter.

The goat and rabbit walked lightly, standing beside Shili the whole time.

Crash!

After they ran away from the dirt bag, a brand new golden root emerged from the ground.

There is almost no difference between the golden root and the one just now, at most, the shape is slightly different.

In terms of size, there is no difference.

After pushing it out, it didn't move, and it was the same as the previous golden root, just stood there and continued to suck the evil spirit quietly.

"this……"

Shi Li didn't expect to hit the small one, but another small one came.

"Do you want to continue?"

Ah Qing raised a placard to ask a question.

Maybe kill a few more Autumn Lord's envoys before he can alert the Autumn Lord and lead him out.

"Forget it, it's a bit troublesome now."

Shi Li thought about it and shook his head.

He also knew what Ah Qing was thinking.

It is impossible for the messenger of the Autumn Lord to be killed endlessly, right?

If you really keep fighting, I believe things will always change.

But the appearance of a single golden root, the movement is so big.

A few more times, or something bigger, he was afraid that it would affect the villagers here.

It wouldn't be good if it ruined other people's villages.

"What we lack now is ... information."

Shi Li recalled what he had taught him in addition to Shisan: "There is a so-called epiphytic relationship between some monsters."

"It's a weak monster that will attach itself to a powerful monster."

"A powerful monster will attach itself to an even more powerful monster."

"Besides, because of their habits, the breeds of monsters to be attached to and attached to are often designated by each other."

"So if we can find out what kind of monster this golden root is, maybe we can follow the clues to figure out the kind of Qiuzhu, and then find it through its living habits, preferred living environment and so on."

While talking, he suddenly hammered his palm.

"Yes, if this is the case, why should we bother?"

Shi Li had a happy expression on his face: "I'll just get the person out, and you'll know if you ask!"

"?"

Then Ah Qing saw that he took out a card.

Put the opening card on the ground and control it with panel one.

hum!

A 1:1 scale projection of a real person appears.

Then the cards gradually dissipated, and the projection gradually materialized.

[bar! 】

Within a few seconds, a man in Taoist robes and holding a long sword stood in front of them.

...
