The Farming District

"Opening the eye."

　　When the little devil's eye is fully opened, its peers through the darkness at the mouth of the tree cave to see an evil filthy creature inhabiting it.

　　At the same time.

　　The thing inside the cave seemed to sense that someone was watching it as well.

　　Clang clang clang!

　　A pair of small red shoes stepped out of the tree hole first.

　　Right after that, a little blonde loli in a flowery dress, holding a red apple, slowly climbed out of the tree hole.

　　A rusty chain was attached to her neck in a death grip.

　　Big round eyes gazed at Han Dong, and from her throat, she made a lovely sound that no men could not resist.

　　"Big brother, help me, I've been tethered here for a long time."

　　But Han Dong looked indifferent, "Why are you tethered down there?"

　　"Because my mother always thought I would get her in trouble, she made a tree house for me under the apple tree. She was worried about me running around in the back, so I was tethered to it with a very long chain."

　　"Where's your mother?"

　　"I don't know, she used to come and visit me and make me special delicious apple pie. Until one day, she never came anymore."

　　Han Dong retorted, "Oh? Is that so? and who are that flesh piled up in your apple tree house? One of them would have been your mother, right?"

　　As Han Dong asked the question.

　　The originally pitiful little girl immediately changed her face and revealed a wicked smile.

　　The apple held in her hand immediately decayed, while there were also a large number of maggots coming out from within, it quickly turned into a puddle of foul-smelling sewage that was scattered all over the floor.

　　"Brother your eyes seem to be special; I don't want to play with you, it's so boring." The little girl crawled back into the tree hole and hid.

　　Meanwhile, all of the apples that had been caught full on the apple tree turned into sewage.

　　None of the intact apples could be used to submit to the quest, which meant that it would be necessary to go deeper into the tree hole.

　　The real apples might be inside this Evil Filth's body.

　　It might even be the heart of this Evil Filth.

　　In fact, it was entirely possible to borrow Togo's lava ability and burn the entire tree to force out the little girl inside.

　　But considering that this was the residence of Cass and the others, Han Dong was still planning to settle it in a slightly 'peaceful' manner.

　　Thus, Han Dong took the initiative to bend down and enter the tree hole.

　　The tree cave extended downwards, connecting about twenty square meters of underground space.

　　A unique sleeping room belonging to this little girl.

　　It was decorated in a dark and grotesque style based on the children's room.

　　As Han Dong had mentioned, there were many 'nutritious corpses' hanging on the walls of the dormitory.

　　The roots of the apple tree that spread down from the upper end accessed right inside these corpses, absorbing protein nutrients, enabling the apple tree to continue to survive in this one dead manor.

　　"Welcome to my room."

　　This little girl who resided in the tree house also revealed her true form.

　　Transforming into a tall Western female, but with all four limbs twice the length of an ordinary human, all of her fingertips had a large number of twisted roots, capable of piercing the skin of living things and drawing nutrients from their bodies by twisting in a manner that matched the spikes on the plant's surface.

　　"Going deep into someone else's territory with no defense at all, 'big brother' you're really interesting."

　　Saying that, the woman waved her hand.

　　Swish!

　　The strong roots that grew from the apple tree were pulled by her and violently wrapped around Han Dong's body.

　　For a time, Han Dong's limbs were bound by the deadly restriction, and his entire body hung in the air in a 'big shape'.

　　Due to the surprise attack.

　　A certain item that was in Han Dong's pocket fell to the ground.

　　"What?"

　　The woman, out of curiosity, picked up the fallen object through the slender roots growing from the tips of her fingers.

　　A handful of black hair.

　　That's right, the barber's hair that had been collected when submitting the quest "Hair in the Well" hadn't all been used up, there was still a small handful of hair in Han Dong's pocket.

　　Upon seeing such hair, the evil filth woman shouted out.

　"What is your relationship with Lord [Barber-Charlie]? Why do you have this lord's hair on you."?

　　Han Dong, who was bound in the air, replied with a leisurely face.

　　"My lord? Is Charlie high up on your list?"

　　"Of course, Lord Charlie Wilson is the Great Lord's personal barber and has been made an important family officer! Quickly, what exactly is your relationship with Lord Charlie?"

　　"Well, guess what?"

　　"Let's make you a 'nutrition donor' first before I ask questions."

　　The woman didn't seem to be very patient.

　　Immediately extending her ten fingers, a twisted spiked tree root pointed straight at Han Dong's body.

　　Just as the spikes were about to touch the body surface.

　　Miso!

　　A flash of silver light.

　　This soft finger vine was cut off by a certain sharp instrument.

　　A burst of dark evil Qi continued to spill out from Han Dong's back.

　　Han Dong said faintly, "I didn't expect that Charlie, actually has such a high status in your manor.

　　I thought he was just an ordinary hairdresser.

　　It's a pity that it happened so suddenly, I could only quickly finish him off, otherwise, I could still try to get some secret information about the great manor out of him."

　　"You!!! You killed Lord Charlie!"

　　"Well, yeah."

　　As Han Dong nodded, an arm holding a kitchen knife 'folded out' from his back.

　　Followed by.

　　A woman in red climbed out whole.

　　With her bare feet on the ground, she gazed at the other party with a terrifying gaze, in terms of terror, it seemed that Miss Chen Li was even better, with the master and guest relationship completely reversed.

　　"Miss Chen Li, try to keep her alive."

　　"Oh.."

　　Just as Chen Li brought her kitchen knife forward to fight.

　　The plague in Han Dong's body spread out, rapidly corroding the roots that wrapped around him.

　　Not at all concerned about the battle.

　　Han Dong began to search the treehouse on his own for some clues that might be useful.

-------------------------------

　　About twenty minutes passed.

　　The wooden door of this dwelling opened again.

　　A Han Dong holding a red apple stepped out from within and whispered to the red-clothed woman hidden in the shadows behind her, "Satisfied?"

　　"Kind of lackluster, next time I want more."

　　"Well, the time is right, I'll let you out, you should go back to rest first, don't let the others find out."

　　With that, Han Dong sent a gathering message to the two girls on the same team and returned together to the wheat field area to submit their mission.

　　The team's blacksmith, Wendy, on the other hand, had a guilt-ridden expression, two quests she had completely failed to help with, and even more so this time, she had finished without even seeing an apple tree.

　　On the other hand.

　　Captain Abel and his party of three also happened to solve the scarecrow incident.

　　This way.

　　With all the clues of the "Wheatfield District" in hand, taking back to the residence and slowly comparing the clues, they should be able to explore a certain 'path' that goes deeper into the Stuart mansion.

　　In addition, Han Dong had also acquired an additional secret piece of information that he could share with the squad members.

　　A diary from the Apple Tree Girl contained some very interesting information.
