After spending most of the day, Diao Si finally recognized a little bit of the road to Green Hidden City. When he left the last military station of the Blazing Empire, the general there had already warned him that the Green Hidden City might not be safe, and asked him if he wanted them to provide military support.
But Diao Si acted alone, and he didn't pay attention to the dangers there. Moreover, bringing such a troop would inevitably affect his marching speed. So he only needed the generals there to provide protection and help to the dwarves who were measuring and designing the railway route, and he returned to Green Hidden City alone.
Diao Si was finally able to see the long-lost Green Hidden City. At this moment, Diao Si's mood was quite complicated. He still remembered the people there, the boundless forest, and the black apes, dwarves, and flower demons in the forest.
However, after getting closer like this, he realized that something was not right about this Green Hidden City. Looking from outside the city, it seemed that there were far fewer people than before. Could it be that after Yuli and the others came back to get things again, another intruder came here
Green Hidden City is always so vulnerable. It seems that the Blazing Empire's railway is very necessary. With the railway, they can directly station troops here so that the people of Green Hidden City can live and work in peace and contentment without having to suffer like this anymore. The war was painful.
The sentry outside the city has also been vacant. There are still a few people walking on the road at the city gate, and they are all old, weak and young. Against their background, this ancient Green Hidden City is a bit more desolate.
"Isn't that our Lord of the City?" After some old voices rang out, Diao Si looked over and saw that it was an old woman lying half upright on the ground. Her eyes were sunken deeply, but she could still recognize Diao Si.
"Old man, it's true that I'm back." Diao Si didn't know what to say to her, because now he was still anxious to go to the forest to find Xiaoyan, and he really couldn't spend too much time shivering here: "My I have made you suffer by leaving, and I will definitely find a way to protect you and let you live a good life."
"Last time someone said that you were an official in the Imperial City, they didn't believe it, but I never doubted it, and I also know that one day you will come back. When you come back, Green Hidden City will rise again. when… "
The old woman smiled as she spoke, then coughed again. Diao Si walked in front of her and told her to take care of her body. He wanted her to see such a day.
At this time, the people around him also noticed Diao Si, but they no longer had the enthusiasm as before. They just watched Diao Si moving towards the big forest in a daze, but they did not disperse for a long time.
The road in front of the big forest is still there, but the appearance has changed significantly. The big trees in front have been cut down. In the past, Diao Si would not allow them to cut down extinct trees like this.
After walking like this for a while, Diao Si finally came to the Wuyuan village. Unfortunately, there was no sign of Wuyuan there anymore. It was quiet, and there were still traces of being burned on the wooden houses.
The doubts in Diao Si's heart are getting bigger and bigger, but there is no one here that he can inquire about. He was too anxious just now. He should have taken some time to ask people in the city what happened during this time. .
But if I go back and ask now, wouldn't it be a waste of more time? Thinking of this, Diao Si did not stop and continued walking in the direction of the former Flower Demon Kingdom.
After walking for a short distance, he finally heard the sounds of some small animals, which were hiding in the woods and keeping an eye on him. Diao Si simply used the magic of refraction and finally discovered the healing elf hiding in the bushes.
"Little guys, it's me. Don't you remember me? Why are you hiding in the forest? What happened here?" Diao Si said as he walked to the bushes where the healing elves were hiding. .
But when they heard the sound, they immediately ran away deep into the trees, as if they were in danger. Diao Si was surprised. He used to be very nice to these elves, but why were they so afraid of him today? Something must have happened here, we must find them and ask!
So Diao Si chased after him, but there were no gaps in the bushes at all. Even with the help of wind magic, he couldn't speed up much. His clothes were torn from being squeezed and drilled in this way, and he finally reached an open space on the other side. .
Oops, there's an ambush! Diao Si had already heard the sound but couldn't hide because of the obstruction of the branches. He was violently hit by an unknown animal, and then he flew into the bushes on the side.
"Zhui Hao, you hit that bastard. You really hit him. That's great!" Suddenly a familiar voice rang, and then a bunch of large and small people rushed out of the surrounding jungle. The little monster surrounded the woods where Diao Si fell.
Diao Si turned around and was about to freeze the monsters that were attacking him when he remembered the familiar name "Zhui Hao". Wasn't that the name of the three-legged monster that Lafite gave him before
He was stunned for a moment without making a move, and then a huge figure suddenly rushed over and pressed him to the ground. It was a black ape with half its head covered. This guy was so heavy that it made Diao Si unable to breathe.
"Look at me, hahaha, am I more powerful?" Wu Yuan said to the monsters around him, and then Diao Si, who was pressed by it, suddenly lifted up. This is the use of gravity in earth magic. Being able to master these three magics skillfully can really be said to be omnipotent.
"One-eyed... You don't seem to be powerful enough for that bastard... Brothers, let's run for our lives!" It was that familiar voice again, and the monsters followed the command and burrowed into the surrounding trees.
"Ding Ding?... You dog, can't you recognize who I am?" Diao Si put down the one-eyed black ape, and then called to Ding Ding who was digging in through the bushes.
After hearing Diao Si's voice, Ding Ding was stunned. How could he, who was good at hearing, not recognize him? It looked at Diao Si in disbelief and burst into tears: "Master, is it really you? Are you finally back?"
"Silly dog, of course it's me. I've wanted to come back for a long time, but I just couldn't get away..." Diao Si continued, and the three-legged monster Zhui Hao who had already got into the bushes jumped out again, looking at it with the same surprise. Diao Si.
"It turns out to be the Lord of the City. Just now... I'm sorry." The one-eyed Wu Yuan turned out to be a leader in Wu Yuan Village before, but now one of his eyes is wrapped with a piece of cloth. He is probably blind. That's why he has this one-eyed title.
"Why are you all hiding in the forest? Tell me what's going on? Have people fallen out with the people in the city? How did that old guy McCann make Green Hidden City like this? She is here now Where?"
Diao Si's series of questions made them all lower their heads one by one. After a period of silence, Ding Ding sadly said to Diao Si: "Mrs. McCann... She has been killed. All the soldiers in Green Hidden City were killed before." Either dead or captured, a lot of things happened in Green Hidden City during this time.”
"What? How could this happen? Is there another army from the north invading the south? Is it possible that all the people of Green Hidden City can't stop it even if they join the war? This... what on earth is this?"
Diao Si was angry and shocked after hearing this, but when he calmed down, he understood that since he had taken Yuli and the others away, there was not even a single warrior here who could fight, so how could he stop the powerful team from the north
Ding Ding looked like he was about to cry again, and replied to Diao Si: "She is a powerful mage. Her name is Yi Dong. I heard that she comes from a tribe that specializes in plundering in the west of the Sabei Desert. They took the resources of Green Hidden City. After robbing everything, she asked the captives to carry the things for them. Anyone with some strength was not spared, and more than half of the people in Green Hidden City were taken away by her. "
It turns out that something like this happened in Green Hidden City. When Diao Si first came in, he already found it strange that there were not many people inside. Since this Yidong dares to touch Diao Si in Luyin City, it seems that when he is really free in the future, Diao Si will have to go and meet her for a while, and then use the same method to capture her and use her as a coolie!
