This is not only affecting the environment, but also our villagers as well." A sad voice came from below, making people feel sad.
A figure slowly emerged from the stairwell. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, resolute and courageous, with short, light brown hair. He wore dragon-crocodile phosphorus-armored boots and a heavy, solemn garment made from the hide of a stone-armored caged beast.
"Four children, I have understood the mission assigned by your academy. Thank you to the Selsburn base for remembering our village and being willing to help us overcome this difficult time. I am the village chief, Sige, and I will be your guide this time."
The four of them glanced at each other without leaving a trace, and unexpectedly found the guide.
Nanger was standing behind the village chief. After listening to the team leader's words, he immediately said indignantly:
"Many years ago, our development was thriving. However, demons suddenly appeared from the forbidden land and destroyed the roads and bridges connecting us to the outside world overnight. Our affiliated villages gradually withered and disappeared, and our living environment gradually deteriorated."
The doll behind him seemed to sense the anger as well, and its wings flapped slightly.
The four of them looked at each other, and Ma Tuan took a step forward.
"Hello, village chief, I think it would be our honor if we could help you."
Despite the mask, the gentleness in his voice and his good upbringing showed that he was the leader of the team.
Si Ge evaluated secretly in his heart. He smiled and was about to say something to Ma Tuan when a burst of hurried footsteps came from far away.
"It's bad, it's bad, Village Chief, please go and take a look!"
A young man ran up anxiously.
"Sorry, you guys chat first, I'll be back soon",
Village chief Sige looked at everyone apologetically and left quickly with Nanger.
"It seems these people are convinced by this demon legend!"
Ma Tuan touched his chin and said shrewdly,
"But we are just explorers and researchers studying at the academy. There is nothing we can do. We should complete our mission and leave."
After saying that, he quickly looked at his three teammates.
Broll seemed completely unaware of his retreat and instead became even more enthusiastic, raising his fist.
"Justice will eventually defeat evil, and we will definitely succeed."
Ma Tuan held his head helplessly. He couldn't count on this heartless guy at all. He believed whatever others said.
Bai Di and Nan Song thought helplessly that if they went back without doing anything at this point, not only would that villain Iers laugh at everyone, but they themselves would also be busy for a while due to the lack of tasks.
Just as everyone was preparing to plot their next move, a burst of crying suddenly came from the distance. At the same time, a slight dragon roar was heard from the horizon, but it was drowned out by thunder the next second.
