Although Liu Zheng was prepared, it was too late to respond.

Great Rooster's neck was bitten all over, and warm blood spurted out.

"Master?"

When he was about to die, Great Rooster did not struggle, but gently pecked the opponent's face with his beak.

This move seemed to awaken some humanity in Sombra.

It raised its head blankly, revealing a hairy and ferocious wolf face.

"What did I do? What did I do?"

It dropped Great Rooster like an electric shock and muttered to itself.

"Why, didn't I ask you to protect it?"

Suddenly, Werewolf roared loudly towards Liu Zheng.

"Why do you still come to me with it? Why you?"

Its tone is more painful than Anger.

"Your letter also said that you asked me to come to you and not to come to you."

Liu Zheng explained.

"It must be the priest. The priest must have forged my handwriting."

Werewolf Anger shouted.

"Who is the priest?"

"You don't remember? Why don't you know who the priest is?"

Werewolf looked at him suspiciously.

"I was attacked by a group of Werewolf. When I woke up, I forgot a lot of things."

Liu Zheng said.

Werewolf stared at him, the tip of his nose twitching.

"Yes, yes, I smell the life potion from you."

It endorses Liu Zheng's explanation.

"It must have been arranged by the priest. He doesn't want you to continue to be strong. He wants to get rid of you, the biggest hidden danger."

"It's okay to forget, it's okay to forget. Come with me, Red Riding Hood, and let's stay away from this forest and this village together."

"We can live a new and happy life. If you want to take revenge on the priest, we can also wait until you become stronger and come back."

Werewolf said excitedly.

Good guy, it turns out that the witch is Red Riding Hood, so is that old woman the grandma?

"No, I don't want to be a person without memory."

"If you want me to come with you, you have to tell me the whole truth."

Liu Zheng said.

"The whole truth, I don't know the whole truth myself."

Werewolf said with a wry smile.

"Then tell me what you know, starting with who you are."

"Have you even forgotten who I am?"

Werewolf said sadly.

"Okay, let me tell you. My name is Yagor, and I am Carpenter in the village."

"You are Red Riding Hood, and we are childhood sweethearts."

"The priest is a bad person. He spreads the plague in the village and turns many villagers into Werewolf."

"Aren't you also Werewolf?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"No, I am Wolfman."

Little Carpenter shook his head.

"Wolfman is born, we can transform at any time, and we won't lose our minds after transforming."

"And Werewolf can only transform into Night of the Full Moon. After transformation, it will only have animal nature."

he explained.

"It sounds like Wolfman and Werewolf are somehow related."

"Yes."

After Carpenter hesitated for a moment, he still told Liu Zheng the truth.

"The priest used my blood and evil Demon methods to create Wolf Plague Potion, and induced the villagers who believed in him to drink it, turning them all into Wolfman."

"Why did you give him the blood?"

"It was he who attacked me with his men!"

Carpenter said excitedly.

"I didn't know it at first. It wasn't until Wolfman started appearing in the village that I learned the truth."

"I originally wanted to find you and take you away from here."

"It turned out that you came to the forest, so I chased you."

"But I didn't find you. Instead, I was trapped in the forest."

"In order to protect myself, I can only maintain the state of Wolfman. Coupled with the erosion of the dark atmosphere in the forest, I gradually lost my mind."

"As a result, I killed my only relative."

It knelt in front of Great Rooster, covering its face and crying bitterly.

"Tyrant, Forest Spirit, Nightingale, who are they?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"How do you know these names?"

"These are also written on your letter paper."

He said without changing his expression.

"Really? That must have been forged by the priest too."

Carpenter didn't have much doubt.

"Tyrant is the priest's collaborator. It was originally Tiger in the forest and one of the guards of Forest Spirit."

"But it was not satisfied with its status. It cooperated with the priest to kill other guards and became the ruler of the forest."

"Forest Spirit is the embodiment of the will of the forest and the protector of the forest."

"But now it has been corrupted by the dark power attracted by the priest and turned into an evil existence. The forest is no longer safe."

"As for Nightingale, I don't know who this is."

Carpenter shook his head and said.

"What about my grandma?"

Liu Zheng asked suddenly.

"I remember I had a grandmother, where did she go?"

"Your grandmother. She disappeared shortly after the priest came. You came to the forest just to find her."

"The priest must have killed her."

Carpenter said firmly.

"Why does the priest want to harm us?"

"Because you are Morgana Clan, you are born to be powerful witches and can freely use the power of White Magic and Black Magic."

"You can use White Magic to purify the wolf Renhe Forest Spirit, and you can use Black Magic to fight against Tyrant and the priest."

"But your grandmother is too old and you are too young to defeat the powerful priest."

"Come with me, Red Riding Hood. Let's hide outside first. When you become strong enough, I will accompany you back to seek revenge from the priest and restore the forest to its original vitality."

Carpenter advised again.

"What about the other people in the village?"

"I don't know about this either."

Carpenter was a little hesitant.

"I don't like people who lie to me."

Liu Zheng's expression turned cold.

"No, I didn't lie to you."

Carpenter explained quickly.

"I only know that they followed the hunters, but I don't know where they went."

"Hunter?"

Shouldn't the leader of the villagers' camp be a prophet?

Wait.

Priest, prophet, Tyrant, guard.

Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

"Don't worry about them, they are not good people either."

Carpenter was worried that Liu Zheng would not leave for the sake of the villagers, so he finally broke the shocking news.

"Why do you say that?"

"They signed an agreement with a big businessman to sell this forest for a sum of money that would last several generations, but the premise is that the risk of deforestation must be minimized."

"The reason why the priest was able to successfully corrupt Forest Spirit was also because of their help."

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Liu Zheng couldn't help but admire it.

"This village is really full of evil people."

"The ancestors brought wealth and civilization, but they also brought dirty people's hearts outside."

Carpenter also sighed.

"Are the ancestors you are talking about the statues on the square?"

"Yes. This village was originally called Wolfman Village, and all the villagers have the blood of Wolfman."

"Just because of inbreeding, the Wolfman bloodline gradually deteriorated. By the ancestor's generation, he was the only one who could become Wolfman."

"So, he went to the outside world and became a mercenary. He made a lot of money and brought many people who wanted to stay away from the war to the village. He optimized the bloodline of the village and made the village prosperous again."

Carpenter said proudly.

"Then don't you want to continue to protect your ancestor's village?"

"Of course I want to. But neither I nor you are powerful enough."

"When we are all strong, we will come back to put things right, and together we can make the village more prosperous than when my ancestors were here."

Carpenter said longingly.

"To bring order out of chaos, this idiom is well used."

Liu Zheng clapped.

"You told Great Rooster that you can't read, but you are actually literate."

"The content in the letter was also written by you, and it was not forged by the priest, right?"

"This, this is not important."

Carpenter said with twinkling eyes.

"Then let's talk about something important."

He nodded.

"My grandma is missing an ax from the back of her head."

"Do you know where I can find it?"

Liu Zheng asked with a smile.
