Chapter 671: Chapter 50 The Power of Incense

Huh, what’s going on here?

Xiao Jie frowned slightly, scanning the surroundings with caution. Could it be that there’s an even more formidable monster in this village? Is the Willow Tree God not the final boss?

But that doesn’t make sense. For such a tiny broken-down village, having a Low-level Earth-bound God is already stretching it. It can’t possibly have an even stronger monster.

Xiao Jie tapped the flagpole a few more times, but the system’s response remained unchanged.

[system prompt: You have not completely eradicated the Monster Forces in this village, you cannot take it over.]

"What’s wrong Feng? Why aren’t we taking it over?"

"There’s a problem. The system prompts that the Monster Forces in the village haven’t been eliminated. Everyone, search around, see if there are any remnants like Little Monsters or tree puppets. Move in groups of five, and don’t let your guard down."

Despite saying this, Xiao Jie felt it was highly unlikely to be related to the tree puppets since these Little Monsters normally don’t affect the overall situation. When he took over Black Rock Village before, eliminating the mountain bandit leader was enough to take over. Those scattered mountain bandits were not considered as a ’Monster Force’.

There must be some other explanation.

Sure enough, after everyone had swept through the village twice and rooted out a few scattered tree puppets and took them down, the flagpole still couldn’t be clicked to conquer.

While others were searching the village, Xiao Jie came to the corpse of the Willow Tree God and clicked on the giant decayed body with his mouse. The thing was indeed dead.

"Cheng Xian, did you find anything just now?"

"Found something; the drops weren’t bad at all."

"Let me see what you got." Xiao Jie said, and initiated a trade with I Want to Be Immortal.

I Want to Be Immortal immediately traded the loot he found to Xiao Jie.

Huh, the drops are quite impressive indeed.

First off, the drops from Old Liu.

[Old Liu’s Diary (Task Item)

Use: Read.

Item Introduction: A booklet filled with writing, it seems to record some life experiences of someone before his death.]

[Hidden Door Key (Consumable)

Use: Opens a specific hidden door.

Number of uses: 1/1.

Item Introduction: A key forged from black iron, it can be used to open a hidden secret door in Liushudi Village.]

For an Elite Monster to drop these two items is not bad at all.

Then there are the drops from the corrupted Willow Tree God.

The first item is a golden seed.

[Miracle Seed (Seed/Legendary)

Use: Randomly plant a legendary plant

Requirement for use: Planting Master.

Item Introduction: A seed that radiates a strong Spiritual essence, it might be able to grow something out of the ordinary.]

The second item is a spellbook.

[Willow Earth Binding Scripture (Demon Art/Divine Skills)

Use: Enables you to learn the spell—Earth Binding Skill.

Learning requirements: 40 Spiritual/40 Faith. Master of Demon Art/Expert in Divine Prayer.

Spell Introduction: Summons the power of the earth to bind the enemy in place, rendering them immobile. However, this spell can only slow down enemies with immense strength.]

The third item is another skill book.

[Human Tree Rebirth Scripture (Sorcery/Divine Skills)

Use: Enables you to learn the spell—Tree Puppet Rebirth.

Learning requirements: 50 Spiritual/50 Faith. Expert in Demon Techniques/Expert in Divine Prayer.

Spell Introduction: Attempts to transform a humanoid being or a tree into a tree puppet warrior under your control. The higher the level of the target being transformed, the stronger the combat power of the tree puppet.]

This skill book is even more valuable than ordinary equipment.

Xiao Jie immediately opened and read Old Liu’s diary without worrying about distributing the items first.

Past gaming experience told him that there must be clues within to solve the current strange phenomenon.

[June 1st, Xin Chou day. Suitable for earthworks, avoid marriage ceremonies.

Last night I had a dream where a white-haired immortal came to me for help, saying that if I aided him, he would grant me eternal life and even help me become an immortal.

I mentioned this at the village gathering and Old Yang warned me that it wasn’t an immortal but a demon, the Willow Tree Spirit sealed within the large willow tree in our village.

It is said to have been sealed by immortals hundreds of years ago.

Thank goodness he warned me, or I would have made a huge mistake.

June 11th, Yisi day. Suitable for visiting relatives and friends.

Everything has been going wrong in our village lately. A few days ago, Rizhou Prefecture sent people to levy grain again and took away thousands of catties of grain. They also conscripted six laborers. It’s said they’ll be sent to carry grain at Soul Suppressing Pass. I hope they return alive.

June 15th:

Yesterday, another demon wreaked havoc on the mountain, a big wolf over three meters long snatched away Wang’s little son. Sigh, such a tragedy.

June 21st, Xin Hai day. Suitable for moving, avoid financial loss.

Mountain bandits came again to rob our grain. Thanks to everyone’s united efforts, we drove them away, but a few militiamen died again, and there aren’t many able-bodied men left.

The State Mansion is both levying grain and conscripting men, yet they can’t even eradicate a few bandits. Utterly useless.

July 1st, Jiayin day. Suitable for logging and livestock rearing, avoid house-moving and relocating.

We heard that zombies and ghosts from Ghost Mist Ridge are running our way. Who knows if they’ll reach us. These worthless soldiers can’t even guard the pass; they just waste food.

There’s a rodent disaster at the next village. The village chief sent someone to find out what happened. It has been three days with no news, I fear the worst.

July 11th, Jiwei day. Suitable for planting, avoid well-digging.

I dreamt of that old man again a few days ago. He said he could give me eternal life, so I wouldn’t have to endure this miserable existence any longer.]
