Chen Rui tried to bring the leftover fruit cores into the Star Garden, and the Shu fairy immediately flew over to take care of them. Sure enough, there was a system prompt: Unknown plants, the maturity period is 10 days, and the fruits will wither automatically after being picked. The seeds can be used to continue planting, which consumes energy every day Dust10. Current Status: immature.
It seems that the magic pomegranate fruit is similar to the spirit fruit tree, the overflowing spiritual energy is weaker than that of the spiritual fruit, and the spiritual energy provided is also half less. Except for the spiritual energy, the refreshing effect feels very good, it is really rare thing.
Chen Rui thought of the system prompt that "the fruit will wither automatically after being picked", and picked the remaining fruit while eating. It was a bit of a relic of the time when Grandmaster Wukong made troubles in the Peach Garden. Unfortunately, there is only one "Peach Tree". There are only a dozen "Peaches".
As expected, every time a fruit is picked, the magic pomegranate tree withers a bit, and after picking the last fruit, the pomegranate tree has completely withered, and the scorched branches do not feel the vitality of the previous one at all. .
Chen Rui burped, feeling the "washing" effect spread all over his body, which was extremely enjoyable, as if some subtle changes had taken place in his mental power and five senses.
This kind of enjoyment can be revisited after ten days, because those fruit cores have been planted in the Star Garden, and after five are planted, the rest will be entrusted to the Shu fairy.
The magic durian fruit is an unexpected harvest. Now the fruit trees in Lulei Valley are dead. Today, Chen Rui's biggest goal has been achieved. He didn't stop, and immediately ordered the people of the Scarlet Guards to leave Lulei Valley quickly: "Brothers, the enemy's reinforcements are coming soon!" Alright, let's disperse and evacuate first, and then gather in the north of Leia Town to make a breakthrough, and there will naturally be someone to respond!"
The fruit tree is in hand, and the plan is close to success. As for the support from the north - this is what "Banneker" said, and it has nothing to do with him, Chen Rui. Maybe when the time comes, the "superior" will actually send someone to support it.
Upon hearing this, the regiment members quickly began to withdraw. On the way, they encountered a defense team headed by Ross who came to reinforce them. There was a scuffle between the two sides. Chen Rui quietly disguised himself as a defense team while "chasing" the bloody guards The regiment, while "dropping in" towards the town of Leia.
At this time, in the mansion of the mayor of Leia Town, the people who participated in the banquet had left the hall and were restrained in the courtyard. Old Cande tried his best to exercise his own power, control the poison that was about to move in his body, and felt that his mind was getting worse and worse. The more drowsy he became, the big sweat dripped from his forehead, and even Long Jiexiang, which was usually refreshing, lost its effect.
"Lord Mayor! The Scarlet Guards have retreated from Lulei Valley, and encountered Rose's defense team on the way."
Old Kande woke up, and asked the most nervous question: "How about that magic pomegranate tree?"
"What magic pomegranate tree?" The guard who reported the news obviously didn't know the secret of Lulei Valley.
Old Cande was in a hurry: "Idiot! It's something guarded by Lulei Valley!"
"This... No relevant news has come."
"Idiot, go and find out!" Although the ominous omen in his heart was getting closer, Old Kande still took a chance.
After a while.
"Lord Mayor! Lord Lax has captured Ross back!"
Old Kande said hurriedly: "Quick! Let him bring Rose up!"
I saw Lax walking in holding Rose. When Rose saw Old Kande, he quickly said, "Mayor, I am leading the defense team to hunt down the Scarlet Guards. Why did you dismiss me?"
"Pursuit? You are covering!" Old Kande walked forward panting, and twisted the front of Rose's chest: "Say! What poison did you poison? What is the antidote?"
"Lord mayor, I don't understand what you're talking about?" Ross heard Monk Zhang Er puzzled.
"At this time, you still dare to pretend!"
A resounding slap hit Rose's face fiercely, and stars suddenly appeared on his head. Although Rose was already a middle-level high-level demon, he was still powerless against the strength of Old Kande's demon king level. If it wasn't for Old Kande If he wanted to force him to find out the antidote, he could kill him just now.
"Ross, I can forgive you for hiding Ziyan's heart, and I can forgive you for colluding with Banneker and taking away Naliyi secretly, but you must hand over the antidote to me!" Old Cande's roar continued. Everyone outside the yard heard it.
Only then did Ross realize how serious the crime was on his head, and immediately shouted: "I have nothing to do with Na Liyi, and Zi Yanxin is not in my hands! It is even more impossible to collude with Banneker! It must be Someone framed it!"
Old Kande threw a letter on his face, and Rose looked at it immediately, and his face became more and more ugly: "Mayor, please trust me, I can confront Kuria face to face!"
At this time, another person came to report: "Lord Mayor, Sir Robert found Banneker in the Scarlet stronghold, and was seriously injured by him when he tried to arrest him. At the same time, he found Culia's body in the stronghold. It should be Banneker was killed, and Banneker has escaped."
"Very good," Old Kande looked at Rose with increasingly gloomy eyes: "Now there is no proof, if you don't hand over the antidote immediately, you can confront Kuria in front of the demon god!"
Looking at the murderous eyes of Old Kande, Ross felt unprecedented grievances, and secretly gritted his teeth: He has no grievances or enmities with Culia, and he rarely even sees each other, so he framed him like this for no reason!
The curse does work, and Kulia is now "dead".
There is no evidence of death, and based on Rose's understanding of old Kande, those trumped-up charges have almost completely settled on his head.
The letter from "Kulia" contained only a few sentences.
Banneker makes a fuss on Old Candle's birthday and takes something important. Ross and Banneker colluded and will secretly poison the old Kande, take Na Liyi away, and further seek the mayor's position. Culia knew about the conspiracy of Banneker and Ross, was hunted down by Banneker, and asked Old Kande for asylum.
It was that simple, but it was these simple words that drove Ross into the abyss of eternal doom.
It has been two years since the Scarlet Guards came to Leia Town. Ross also knew something about the two factions' internal conflict, but he didn't expect that he would be involved. He kept cursing in his heart: Culia, you bastard! It's okay to have a grudge with Banneker, why drag me on!
By now, Ross understands that no matter how he explains it, it will be considered a cover-up, and it seems that he can only find another way to save his life.
At this time, the emergency report came again: "The magic pomegranate fruit tree in Lulei Valley has died, and the fruit has disappeared! According to the torture of the captives captured by Master Baoliu, it is very likely that the fruit was taken away by Banneker. !"
Old Kande was furious, and immediately spewed out a mouthful of purple blood, which fell on the ground and corroded a burst of purple smoke, which showed that the toxins in his body were strong, but Old Kande hadn't paid attention to it.
It's over, it's over!
The magic pomegranate fruit tree is very special, and it is impossible to be transplanted at all. Once it leaves the growing ground, everything including the fruit will wither, otherwise it would have been transplanted and dedicated to the imperial capital. The magic pomegranate fruit must also be harvested and preserved according to a special method. It is said that only the royal family of the Shadow Empire knows that kind of secret method, otherwise it will completely lose its effect within five minutes of leaving the fruit tree!
Banneker, how can you know that kind of secret technique
Perhaps there are still some doubts about this matter, but now that the magic pomegranate fruit tree is dead, everything is meaningless! Even if Banneker is captured, it will be useless!
The people from the imperial capital will be here soon, and by then... not only the mayor's throne, but also his life, and even the whole family... it's really all over!
Old Cande felt dizzy, spewed out two more mouthfuls of blood, felt that the strength supporting his body had completely collapsed, and the poison that had been suppressed instantly covered his whole body, and he was about to collapse.
Rose moved suddenly, teleportation.
Appeared at the entrance of the hall in an instant, Lax was about to catch up, when Rose yelled: "The antidote!"
As he spoke, he threw a bottle of potion aside, and Lax quickly teleported to catch the potion. At the same time, he loudly ordered the guards along the way to intercept it, and Lax brought the bottle to Old Kande.
Old Kande took it tremblingly and drank it, spat out another mouthful of blood, and grabbed Lax's hand tightly: "This is just an ordinary antidote!"
"Notify the whole town, if you see Banneker and Ross, kill..." Old Kande gasped for a few moments, only to feel that his mind was as heavy as a stone, and he was speechless, purple smoke came out of his hands and body , the surface layer of the skin has begun to corrode, turning into fly ash.
In the haze, I seem to hear a familiar voice: My soul will curse you forever, until your dirty old body decays into ashes...
Rose had already exerted all his potential to the limit, and ran all the way out of the mayor's mansion, ignoring his injuries, and ran desperately. Since Old Kande's killing order had not been fully conveyed at this time, no one stopped Ross along the way, but he was surprised to see the captain of the defense running all the way, but the town is already chaotic enough today, there may be some emergency Situation.
The act of throwing out the "antidote" just now in full view has already confirmed the "crime" invisibly, but I don't care so much anymore, staying in the mayor's mansion is definitely a death sentence, and we must survive first before we can hope to recover our innocence And power, this matter seems complicated and confusing, and it is very likely that there is another mastermind behind it-Ross fled while cursing the guy who framed him in the most vicious language.
A person ran towards him. This person was wearing a cloak, and he couldn't see his true face. This is a very common costume in the devil world. He seemed to be in a hurry and ran towards this side in a hurry.
Rose instinctively felt a sense of crisis in his heart. Although his combat power was not top-notch among the middle-level high-level demons, he climbed to the position of the captain of the defense team mainly by currying favors and even betraying his fiancée, but after all, he is a High level demon.
The sense of crisis was getting closer and closer. In an instant, all the strength in Rose's body was gathered, and his strong will to survive allowed his super-level strength to be brought into play. Just when the two passed by, Rose suddenly launched a teleportation, teleportation to a position further ahead.
The man paused for a moment, and without looking back, he started running again.
In the eyes of a little lemur on the side of the road ahead: Rose teleported in front of him, his body had just appeared, and he was still running. Affected by inertia, he leaned forward slightly, and his huge head suddenly fell off.
Rose's body fell to the ground, blood stained the ground, and there was still a horrified expression on his head.
The little lemur screamed in fright, but the cloaked man had disappeared.
In fact, the man in the cloak heard the news that Banneker was fleeing to the north, and went to the north of the town to find the main target. run into.
Maybe, there is some kind of guidance in the dark, the woman in the flames, the teardrop that cannot be melted by the fire.
Without any hesitation, he used all his strength, a knife.
The knife actually didn't touch Ross, it was just that invisible knife energy passed over Rose's neck.
But that's enough.
One knife, beheaded.
This can be regarded as the tear that used his own method to pay homage to the flame.
He is no longer a weak man who has no strength, whose life and death are controlled by others. Of course, he cannot and cannot change the whole world where the weak prey on the strong. This is true whether it is this world or another world. He just uses his own strength to do some things he thinks he wants to do, even if these things are ridiculous or redundant in the eyes of others. This is him, a human being reborn in the devil world.
Ross is dead, and only Banneker is left.
After completing this task, it's time to go back to Dark Moon to face the test of Araux. Before that, Chen Rui didn't plan to meet Athena. She digs deep into big life events.
Banneker was in a worse mood than Ross just now. He found Culia's body in the bloody stronghold. Before he could figure out what was going on, Robert led a group of men and surrounded the stronghold aggressively. This Robert usually drank with him, but now he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. Immediately afterwards, Robert's people found Culia's body upstairs, and immediately ordered his men to arrest him.
Of course, Banneker refused to be captured without a fight. During the conflict, he injured Robert and fled with several captured regiment members. On the way, they gathered some Scarlet Regiment members who had withdrawn from Lulei Valley, and fled to the north of the town together in a daze. On the way, Banneker finally asked some ins and outs, and was shocked.
What happened is roughly:
He killed Kuria with his own hands.
He received an order from "above" to lead the Scarlet Guards to attack Lulei Valley.
He successfully completed the mission and is leading the remaining members of the regiment to successfully evacuate towards the north exit of Leia Town.
That's right, he is indeed "leading" the group members to "successfully evacuate". The question is, why did he escape with these people? As the "protagonist", he was completely unaware of the previous matters.
Today, isn't it just to attend the birthday party of the town elder Kande? Why did it become like this!
