"I accidentally stumbled into a treasured place. I'm very grateful for the banquet hosted by your village. How dare I continue to disturb you," Lu Jing said. "Actually, my companions and I have already planned to leave."
"It's still dark, so you two can't go back to the other side of the cave even if you want to," the farmer continued to persuade, "you'd better come with me to see the village chief."
"Is this the way of hospitality here?" Lu Jing raised his eyebrows, "Forcing guests to do things they don't want to do?"
The farmer sighed after hearing this, "What the guest said is wrong. We are just showing kindness. It's okay if the guest doesn't want to appreciate it. Why are you still slandering us?"
The expression on his face seemed very serious when he spoke, without any hint of quibbling. At the same time, there was a strong look of disappointment in his eyes. As his words fell, other villagers around him also nodded.
He seemed to agree with what the farmer said.
Lu Jing once thought that the guy in front of him was just making excuses to keep him here, but when he saw the expressions on other people's faces, he suddenly understood that these people might really think so in their hearts.
He just felt that the scene in front of him was indescribably ridiculous.
It was obvious that not long ago, he had contact with these villagers and could feel their friendliness and enthusiasm. Perhaps some of the etiquette they followed seemed a bit pedantic because they were too old.
But generally it's not much different from the other side of the cave.
However, now these people seem to have suddenly lost their common sense, and they all blame the deer for the horse, and they all believe it.
It was also the first time for Lu Jing to encounter such a strange situation.
Then his ears heard a message from Ikata's secret room, "Did you see, this is the consequence of breaking the behavior pattern of monsters... These villagers were originally well-educated, friendly and courteous, but now they have become incomprehensible. ”
Ixiang paused, then continued, "There is no other way. I can only force myself to do it in the future. I have to prepare a formation now. You can find a way to carry half of the incense first.
"By the way, let me remind you again, these villagers didn't know how to use magic when I got along with them. I've never seen them use the wood-burning man-hunting trick just now, so you'd better pay more attention next time. Their magic, after all, the secret power of this place is ten times stronger than that of the academy.
"...If you really can't bear it, you must call for help in time."
Lu Jing took a deep breath when he heard this and grabbed the Zen staff in his hand.
And as if to confirm Ikata's warning, when the villagers saw Lu Jing holding the Zen staff tightly, they started to move as if some mechanism had been triggered.
Put down the farm tools in your hands, fingers flying up and down, and at the same time muttered something.
It was as if all the people had changed their profession to mage in an instant.
When Lu Jing saw this, he had no other choice but to sigh, NPCs don't follow basic laws.
The next moment, the six mulberry trees closest to him seemed to have come alive, swinging their branches and sweeping toward him.
As a result, Lu Jing stood still and didn't move. He just waved the meteorite Zen staff in his hand and smashed all the branches flying from all directions!
Suddenly, wood chips and branches and leaves were flying.
But the figure of Lu Jing in the middle remained motionless.
Seeing that this move had no effect on the opponent, some villagers quickly changed their tactics. Immediately afterwards, the soil was stirred and tree roots were pulled out from the ground and entangled towards Lu Jing.
But Lu Jing remained calm and used his old tricks again.
He channeled his inner strength and attached it to the Zen staff. Although the Zen staff was not a sharp weapon, the roots of the trees it touched still broke.
But compared to the branches, the number of tree roots is still too many.
And some of them were particularly cunning, taking advantage of Lu Jing's entanglement with other tree roots to sneak around the Zen staff in his hand and wrap around Lu Jing's ankles.
A flash of joy flashed in the eyes of several villagers.
However, when they used magic to control the four tree roots to tighten and pull them back, trying to drag Lu Jing to the ground, they found that they couldn't pull them at all.
It was only at this time that they discovered that Lu Jing's feet had left two footprints several inches deep on the ground. And as they continued to exert force, they saw a red line flashing under Lu Jing's skin. .
Then the four tree roots all collapsed, but not a single red mark was left on Lu Jing's skin.
Several villagers looked at each other, and they all saw horror in each other's eyes.
What kind of monster is this? ! Even the three-finger-thick sticks couldn't bind him!
However, they did not give up. Soon someone activated a new spell, which caused the branches and roots to burn and turned into fire sticks and fire whips, which greatly increased their power.
Lu Jing had to deal with it carefully this time. After all, his Fire Lin Armor had only been trained to the third level and had not yet reached the level of invulnerability to water and fire.
And if his eyebrows and hair are burned, he will have to be a Guoda for a period of time.
Fortunately, Lu Jing also had a way to deal with it. He danced the Zen staff into a silver dragon, bringing up a large force of wind. Anyone who had a flame approaching would be blown away by the terrifying force of the wind.
Even the villagers standing ten feet away could feel the stinging sensation caused by the strong wind blowing on their faces.
But when they saw this, they were not surprised but happy, because they knew that the more powerful the moves seemed, the more internal energy they would consume. Lu Jing's desperate use of his skills didn't look like he could last too long.
So as long as it drags on as it is now, when Lu Jing's strength is exhausted, it will be his death.
Thinking of this, the villagers were no longer anxious. They used magic to control the remaining branches and roots, mainly harassing them, and no longer attacked by force.
And as time goes by, they feel they are getting closer and closer to victory.
For some reason, the air wave on the opposite side never showed any sign of weakening. Instead, it became stronger and stronger. The villagers who were standing closer had to take half a step back. After a while, they took another step back. Even the flames on the branches were suppressed and became smaller and smaller.
Looking at Lu Jing opposite, his face was still red and his heart was not beating. Now even the most determined person could not help but start to waver, doubting that the monster opposite would never run out of strength.
After half a stick of incense, Lu Jing's voice came to Lu Jing's ears again, "It's done, stop it."
Lu Jing took back his Zen staff after hearing this, and as the shadow of the staff disappeared in the sky, the villagers opposite who had anxious expressions on their faces turned from worry to joy again.
He controlled the branches and roots to attack Lu Jing, but before that, a sachet flew towards Lu Jing first.
"Put it under your nose." Ixiang warned.
Before he finished speaking, a strange fragrance spread out from the woods. Except for Lu Jing who put the sachet under his nose in time, the rest of the villagers swayed when they smelled the strange fragrance, and they all began to stagger around. .
