w is it going Did your father-in-law agree""Minister Lin, we players rely on you to handle the situation! Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to defeat the boss at all!""..." Please note that the "..." rep...Upon hearing Lu Kong's question, Feng Ye's expression immediately darkened: "A few days ago, one of our clan's strong individuals discovered that there was a hidden place within Wu Yuancheng, where many demons were lurking!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Kong was startled and his face contorted in astonishment. "You mean there are many demons within this main city"

Even though Lu Kong now had a certain level of trust in Feng Ye, he still couldn't believe his words.

This is a large main city!

In a city like this, there are actually many demons

Are you kidding me

Even if Lord Wu Yuancheng, the city lord, might have relations with demons, it's impossible for all the guards to be connected to them, right

Besides, there are so many factions within the city, and many top-tier experts. How could demons possibly enter the city on a large scale

Feng Ye saw Lu Kong's face full of disbelief and smiled wryly: "To be honest, I don't quite believe it either, but the strong one from our clan returned to the manor after being seriously injured, and his injuries were the same as mine. Both of us were wounded by the Corrupted Claw Demon. That night, our Dark Forest Tree people clan was declared a traitor by the city lord. What's more, several very powerful Corrupted Claw Demons appeared inexplicably in the manor, which happened to be seen by strong men from other forces."

"Speaking of which, Feng Ye's face turned ugly: 'If it weren't like this, the top powerhouses of other forces wouldn't necessarily fully believe the City Lord's words.'"

Lu Kong frowned and listened silently.

I suppose that makes sense. After all, the Darkwood Treants are a top power in Wu Yuancheng. If it were just based on the city lord's word, other powerful factions wouldn't rush to tear their faces apart and directly exterminate the Darkwood Treants.

But to find a Corrupted Claw Demon in the estate of the Treantfolk was something entirely different.

If the Flayer Demons insist on saying that the Darkwood Treants have colluded with them, then even if the Darkwood Treants had mouths all over their bodies, they probably couldn't explain it.

What concerned Lu Kong most was how those Corrupted Claw demons managed to enter Wu Yuan City without being detected

Normally, not to mention the many experts in the main city looking on.

Even without powerful beings watching over it, the main city should have corresponding defensive formations. Even facing a large-scale demonic siege, they could withstand it for a long time.

How could it be infiltrated so quietly

"Do you know how those demons managed to get through the defensive magic formations and avoid so many people's sight, entering Wu Yuan City" Lu Kong asked with a frown.

Feng Ye shook his head. “I don’t know, but I do know that the strong ones from my tribe said they knew where the Corrupted Claw demon was hiding. Maybe we can find something there.”

Lu Kong's eyes lit up: "Where are those Corrupted Claw Demons hiding"

Feng Ye drew a map of Wu Yuancheng on the ground and pointed to a residential area in the bottom left corner: "This is Wu Yuancheng's slum, a mix of good and bad people. The guard army doesn't have enough manpower to manage it, and those demons hide in an underground space in this area."

“Underground space” Lu Kong was stunned, looking at Feng Ye in surprise: “Digging a space underground in Wu Yuan City, wouldn’t people on the surface feel it”

Feng Ye hurriedly shook his head. “No, Lu Kong, there's plenty of space beneath the main city already, enough for drainage systems. Plus, Wu Yuancheng’s area is located within a forest where roots intertwine and create many hollow spaces. We can find hiding places without even needing to dig.”

Lu Kong nodded thoughtfully.

"If that's the case, then if they were discovered by your Darkwood Treant clan before, wouldn't they just be able to leave and go to another cavern area"

Feng Ye wryly smiled and nodded, "That's also possible."

Lu Kong's mouth twitched, it seemed the situation was more troublesome than he thought.

Feng Ye took a deep breath and looked earnestly at Lu Kong: "Sir Lu Kong, this matter concerns the safety of Wu Yuancheng. I hope you can help me find the traces of those Corrupted Claw Demons and clear the name of our Dark Forest Treemen clan!"

"Ding, mission discovered: We are wrongly accused! (Unique) Accept"

"Ding, mission detected: Darkness Beneath the Main City (Unique), accept"

Lu Kong was stunned. He hadn't received a mission from the Black Silver City Lord before, but now he was being told that he had received a mission here from the Shadow Forest Treant, who was accused of colluding with demons.

And yet there were still two unique missions, one of which was a special, unprecedented task that Li Kong had never encountered before.

The land and air troops eagerly looked towards the mission briefing.

Task: We are innocent! (The only one)

Introduction: The Darkwood Treant Elder Feng Ye hopes you will go to Wu Yuan City's underground space and find traces left by the Fangs of Decay, proving that the Darkwood Treants were wrongfully accused!

Note: This task is extremely difficult, it's best to tackle it with your teammates!

Reward: Experience points, 3000 gold coins, Wu Yuancheng reputation 200,000, free attribute points *3000, demigod skill book "Ancient Tree Body"

Task: Darkness Beneath the Capital (Unique)

Introduction: According to the Dark Forest Tree Spirit Elder Feng Ye, a demonic clan is hidden within the large main city of the Newbie Continent! This is simply unbelievable! It poses a huge crisis for the entire main city! Feng Ye believes in your strength and entrusts you with the task of destroying the Corrupted Claw Demon Nest beneath Wu Yuan City!

Note: This task is a special task, with extremely high difficulty. It's best to bring your teammates!

Reward: Experience points, 5000 gold coins, Wu Yuansheng reputation 400,000, a free attribute point, and a demigod-level treasure chest *1.

...

Looking at the descriptions of the rewards for the two tasks, Lu Kong's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement.

Wow, such generous rewards!

Not to mention gold coins and reputation, just the freedom attribute points alone add up to quite a bit!

To know, how many tier 3 players have a total stat value as high as this

And even rewarded a demigod-level skill!

What surprised Lu Kong the most was a Demigod-level treasure chest!

For other players, it might be equivalent to a demigod-level item, and even for some people, like Wang Bing, it might only be equivalent to a holy spirit-level item.

But for land and air, this is the equivalent of a divine artifact!

Li Kuang now has two demigod-level treasure chests in his hands, plus this one, three treasure chests. Whether it's a divine skill stone, divine essence, or artifact, it's very useful to him!

Perhaps, he could learn the Blood War Godly Body. At that time, even if it was a fourth-order Divine Advancement, he could give it a try.

With such generous mission rewards, Lu Kong naturally accepted directly.

He beamed at Feng Ye: "No problem, I've got this."

Feng Ye saw Lu Kong agree and let out a sigh of relief, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Lord Lu Kong. Unfortunately, our Dark Forest Tree People clan has suffered heavy casualties now, and most of our resources have been destroyed. I'm afraid we can't offer you anything in return right now."

Lu Kong muttered in his heart, "You can't give it, but the universe's will can!"

However, the darkwood treants are truly unfortunate.

Lu Kong glanced at the wound on Feng Ye's body and asked, "Is your injury alright"

Feng Ye shook his head. “Although the Corrupted Claw demon that attacked me before was powerful, I couldn’t die! Time is of the essence, let’s set off now!”

Lu Kong was stunned:

"Are you going too"

Feng Ye said with righteous indignation, "Of course! This matter concerns the reputation of our Dark Forest Tree Clan and also Wu Yuancheng's safety. How could I put such a heavy burden entirely on Lord Lu Kong Although I am injured, I still have some fighting ability! Whether it is for revenge for my clan or to help Lord Lu Kong, I should go with you!"r all the harvests were used up, Lu Kong finally smiled and said: "Alright, that's the end of today's dungeon. Everyone go back."Everyone used a Return Scroll together and returned to Yin Yue Village....
