A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.

Even Ms. Enid's expression became a little solemn after learning that there were traces of vampires at night.

She did not tell anyone else about this news, but arranged for the group to leave the next day. If you want to survive in the Northern Continent, then dealing with vampires is inevitable. It is said that there are thousands of vampires living in the Northern Continent, and they are divided into different factions and forces, competing for the power of this land.

"There's someone over there watching us." Nicole said softly while standing next to Su Ziyu.

Ms. Enid prepared some carriages, and the group disguised themselves as merchants and headed for the Free City. The goods were prepared in advance. Su Ziyu saw several elves in makeup yesterday.

"Huh?" Su Ziyu looked up and soon found a man with a beard.

The man is very tall.

He was wearing a tattered grey robe and his face could not be seen at all because of his thick beard, which was as messy as tree roots. After noticing Su Ziyu's gaze, he quickly turned around and walked into the alley.

"Don't worry about him." Su Ziyu motioned for Sorceress Nicole to go up the carriageway: "As long as he doesn't cause any trouble."

The women here looked quite old due to the wind and sun, and their looks were not as good as those of the female sorcerers. Su Ziyu had already seen many malicious looks.

Melissa rode at the head of the procession.

After passing the witcher's potion test, the girl was obviously much more relaxed and seemed to be in a good mood these two days.

The team left at noon and moved slowly along the desolate road.

The northern continent is much poorer than the southern continent. There were originally no humans living here. There were only some primitive indigenous people called Wakaru people. I think this is the name. The pronunciation is a little difficult to remember. Su Ziyu didn't hear it clearly at the time.

These natives are only 1.2 meters tall, look very much like gorillas, have dark skin, short limbs, are brutal and violent, and have a tradition of cannibalism.

They are fast and not very strong, can use blowgun darts, and are good at making poisons.

The Wakaru people sacrificed living people to their gods, a kind of snake monster that was difficult to describe. They had been slaughtered almost all of them hundreds of years ago. The humans who first colonized here and the expelled aliens joined forces to massacre these primitive and brutal natives and even overturned their altars.

Now they can only be seen in desolate and remote areas.

Tap tap tap.

There was the sound of horse hooves, and then Melissa ran over with a strange expression on her face and whispered, "There's a strange man up ahead who wants to see you."

Su Ziyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

soon.

The whole team stopped, Ms. Enid came out, and the other sorceresses also stuck their heads out, looking at Su Ziyu curiously.

A man in a tattered gray robe appeared in front of the team.

He was tall and had an untidy beard. He was the man Nicole mentioned at the beginning. No one knew when he had circled to the front of the team.

Su Ziyu frowned and walked over to him, asking, "Who are you?"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency." The man in the gray robe looked a little excited. He bowed deeply to Su Ziyu and said, "May the spirit of nature be with you!"

"I'm Edson."

"As you can see! It's a druid! ..."

Druid?

Su Ziyu was quite surprised when he heard this. This was the first time he saw a spellcaster other than a female sorceress in this world.

He seemed to sense something.

——"Spiritual Vision."

Su Ziyu activated his ability, and then he saw a translucent owl on the druid's shoulder. It seemed to be quite awed by Su Ziyu, and looked like it wanted to get closer but didn't dare to.

"Come here." Su Ziyu waved curiously.

Then the invisible owl flew to his palm and rubbed it affectionately. "Qiu seems to like you very much." The druid named Edson smiled.

Not far away.

The sorceresses looked at Su Ziyu's empty palm in surprise. Only Ms. Enid seemed to have noticed something and her expression became very interesting.

"Is its name Qiu? It's a very cute little creature." Su Ziyu teased the owl in his hand.

The little guy was very close to him.

The reason is not clear.

It may be related to the blessing that the Winter Witch gave him. The last blessing of the Guardian Witch was jointly bestowed by the Spring Witch, Summer Witch, Autumn Witch and Winter Witch. Its effect is to allow Su Ziyu to gain affinity with fairy creatures. He doesn't know whether the translucent owl in front of him can be regarded as a fairy creature.

The guardian witches are demigods, and the blessings they bestow together are not simple.

The druid named Edson hesitated, then said softly, "I didn't want to disturb you."

“But there were some problems around here.”

"I hope to get your help."

"certainly."

“We are also willing to pay some compensation.”

People in this world are pretty nice. They all know that they should pay people for their help.

The owl, named 'Choo', flew back to Edson's shoulder, invisible to everyone except Lady Enid.

"What's the matter?" Su Ziyu frowned slightly.

He now had to escort the sorceresses to the Free City and had little energy to take care of other things.

"It's not a big deal." Edson pleaded in a humble tone, "There is a forest to the south of here. There is a thorny demon tree there. It is eroding the vitality of the forest."

"We are not very good at fighting, so I hope you can help destroy it."

At this time.

Fantsin walked over. He frowned and glanced at Edson in front of him, then asked, "Druid? I thought there were only druids of the Natural Cult in the Kerry Islands in the south. I didn't expect there are some in the Northern Continent as well."

He seemed to have seen a druid before.

"Hello. Demon Hunter." Edson greeted very politely.

His attitude is very humble.

"He wants our help to kill a monster called the Thorn Demon Tree." Su Ziyu said softly.

After hearing this, Fantsin recalled for a moment and said, "It's not that hard to deal with them. They are afraid of fire. Is there a battlefield nearby? Such monsters cannot appear without a large amount of blood and flesh."

Do you need help?

It was already late, so the group was about to set up camp and rest.

If the monster could drop energy, Su Ziyu would definitely go. But if there was no energy, it would be a wasted trip. This druid didn't look like he had anything good, and the reward he offered wasn't very attractive.

Su Ziyu gave Fantsin a questioning look.

"Prepare some kerosene. The battle can be resolved in three minutes." Fantsin whispered, "If you want to help, I'll go with you."

"It's a good opportunity for Melissa to practice."
