Wheat Field District

[Opening Eye]

When the Lesser Demon Eye was fully activated, it peered through the darkness at the entrance of the Tree Hole and saw an evil creature dwelling Tree Hole.

at the same time.

The creature inside the cave seemed to sense that someone was watching it.

Clang! Clang!

A pair of little red shoes stepped out of the Tree Hole first.

Following closely behind, a blonde little girl in a floral dress slowly crawled out of the Tree Hole, holding a red apple.

A rusty iron chain was tightly wrapped around her neck.

Her big, adorable eyes gazed at Han Dong, and a voice, so sweet it was hard for even a straight man to resist, emanated from her throat:

"Brother, please help me... I've been tied up here for a long time."

Han Dong, however, remained indifferent. "Why were you tied down there?"

"Because my mother always thought I would cause her trouble, she specially built a Treehouse for me under the Apple Tree. Later, she was worried that I would run around, so she used a very long iron chain to tie me inside."

Where is your mother?

"I don't know... She used to come to see me and make me a really delicious apple pie. Until one day, she stopped coming."

Han Dong countered, "Oh? Is that so... Then who are those bodies piled up in your Apple Tree house? One of them should be your mother, right?"

As Han Dong asked this question.

The pitiful little girl's expression immediately changed, revealing an evil smile.

The apple she held in her hand immediately rotted, and a large number of maggots crawled out of it... It quickly turned into a pool of foul-smelling sewage, scattered all over the ground.

"Brother, your eyes seem very special. I don't want to play with you anymore, it's really boring." The little girl climbed back into the Tree Hole and hid.

Meanwhile, all the apples that were ripe on the Apple Tree turned into sewage.

There isn't a single whole apple that can be used to submit the task... which means we need to delve deeper into the Tree Hole.

The real apple may be inside this filthy body.

It might even be the heart of this wicked being.

Actually, they could have used Togu's lava ability to burn the entire tree and force the little girl out.

However, considering that this was where Cas and the others lived, Han Dong decided to resolve the matter in a slightly more 'peaceful' way.

Therefore, Han Dong bent down and crawled into the Tree Hole.

The Tree Hole extends downwards, connecting to an underground space of about twenty square meters.

This is the little girl's unique bedroom.

Its decorating style is based on children's rooms but with an added dark and bizarre element.

As Han Dong mentioned, there were many ' Raising Corpses ' hanging on the walls of the dormitory.

The Apple Tree that spread down from the top connected with the bodies, absorbing protein nutrients... allowing the Apple Tree to continue to survive in this dead manor.

"Welcome to my room."

The little girl living in the Treehouse also revealed her true nature.

She transforms into a tall Western woman, but her limbs are twice the length of an ordinary person's, and her fingertips are covered with numerous twisted roots... She can use the entanglement method, combined with the sharp thorns on the surface of plants, to penetrate the skin of living things and absorb their nutrients.

"Going deep into someone else's territory without any precautions, 'big brother,' you're really something else..."

With that, the woman waved her hand.

Whoosh!

The strong roots that grew from the Apple Tree were drawn by her and suddenly wrapped around Han Dong's body.

In an instant, Han Dong's limbs were tightly bound, and his whole body was suspended in the air in a "spread-eagle" position.

Due to a surprise attack.

An item that was in Han Dong's pocket fell to the ground.

"What?"

Out of curiosity, the woman used the thin tree roots that grew from the tips of her fingers to pick up fallen objects.

A tuft of black hair.

That's right, when submitting the quest "Hair in the Well Water," the collected hair from the barbers wasn't all used up... there was still a small tuft of hair in Han Dong's pocket.

Upon seeing such hair, the wicked woman cried out in horror:

"What is your relationship with Lord [Barber Charlie]? Why do you have his hair on you?"

Han Dong was suspended in mid-air, answered leisurely:

"Sir? Does Charlie hold a high position here?"

"Of course! Lord Charlie Wilson is the Grand Lord's personal barber and has been listed as an important member of the family! Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Lord Charlie?"

"Well... what do you think?"

"Let's make you a 'nutrition donor' first, then we'll ask you questions slowly."

Women seem to lack patience.

He immediately stretched out his ten fingers, and twisted, sharp tree roots pointed directly at Han Dong's body.

Just as the spikes were about to touch the skin.

Bass!

A flash of silver light.

These supple, finger-like vines were severed by a sharp object.

A dark, malevolent aura emanated from Han Dong's back.

Han Dong said casually, "I didn't expect Charlie to have such a high status in your manor."

I thought he was just an ordinary barber.

Unfortunately, it happened so suddenly that I had to get rid of him quickly... Otherwise, I might have been able to try and extract some secret information about the large manor from him.

"You!! You killed Lord Charlie!"

"Mmm..."

As Han Dong nodded, an arm holding a kitchen knife folded and extended from behind his back.

Immediately following.

A Woman in Red Robe crawled out completely.

Barefoot on the ground, staring at the other person with a terrifying gaze... In terms of terror, Miss Chen Li seemed to be the more terrifying one, the roles of host and guest were completely reversed.

"Miss Chen Li, try to keep them alive."

"Oh..."

Just as Chen Li stepped forward to fight with a kitchen knife.

The plague within Han Dong's body spread, rapidly corroding the tree roots that were entangled around him.

They weren't paying any attention to the battle.

Han Dong began searching the Treehouse for any clues that might be useful.

About twenty minutes passed.

The Wooden Gate to the residence opened again.

Holding a red apple, Han Dong stepped out from inside and whispered to the woman in red hidden in the shadows behind him, "Are you satisfied?"

"... That's not enough, I'd like more next time."

"Yes, when the time is right, I will let you out... You should go back and rest first, and don't let anyone else find out."

And so, Han Dong sent a message to the two girls in his team to gather, and together they returned to the Wheat Field District to submit the mission.

The Wenli the Blacksmith, looked guilty. She hadn't been able to help with either of the two tasks at all... and this time, she hadn't even seen Apple Tree before the task was over.

On the other hand...

Captain Abel and his two companions also managed to resolve the scarecrow incident.

In this way.

With all the clues in the "Wheat Field District" in hand, we can bring them back to our residence and slowly compare them. We should be able to find a 'path' leading deep into the Stuart Manor.

In addition, Han Dong also obtained a secret piece of information that he could share with his team members.

A diary belonging to the Apple Tree Girl contains some very interesting information.
