"Destroy the trap and ensure the next attack of the wolves goes smoothly."

The time limit for the task is three days, and the countdown will start after it is released.

Last night Mingshu saw the ferocity of those gray wolves. Yuan Chen is very powerful, but it is impossible for the whole village to be filled with people as powerful as him. The wolf village attacking the village will definitely cause casualties, not to mention that he died yesterday once.

But if he didn't do this, life points would be deducted if the task failed or timed out, and he had no more life points to deduct.

The only good thing is that since entering the dungeon, all the people Ming Shu met are NPCs, and everyone is in his list.

Some npcs are generated by system data, and some will arrange for real people to play. This kind of plot dungeon that can be archived and returned should all belong to the former.

Therefore, if the villagers were injured or died, they only needed a rollback to return to their original state. When Mingshu cleared the dungeon and left here, they would be collected into the dungeon library as a bunch of data.

Ming Shu sighed silently. Thinking about it this way, the guilt in his heart would be a little less.

There is only one sentence in the task, and the trap that needs to be destroyed is unknown, so Mingshu opened the updated plot prompt.

[Plot hint]:

[After obtaining the method to see through the werewolf's disguise, Yuan Chen immediately told the villagers and successfully drove away the werewolf hiding in the village. The werewolf held a grudge because of this, and kept calling wolves to attack the village. 】

【Yuan Chen asked Little Mushroom for help again, learned about the movements of the wolves from Little Mushroom, and set a trap on the only way for the wolves to pass. 】

The direction of the plot still revolves around Yuan Chen, and the trap is also set by him.

Follow Yuan Chen first, the time limit for side missions is three days, and the arrangement of traps must also be within the period.

Breakfast was still jujube porridge, and when Ming Shu finished his porridge, Yuan Chen brought in a donkey from outside the courtyard.

"Let's ride it," Yuan Chen tied the rope as the donkey was just enough to carry two people, "Let's go early and return early."

Ming Shu had never seen a donkey before, so he was curious but didn't dare to show it, for fear that Yuan Chen might suspect his origin.

He approached the donkey and reached out to touch its ear.

The donkey didn't seem to like being touched by strangers, it shook its head to avoid Ming Shu's hand, took a step back, lifted its front legs and kicked it violently.

Yuan Chen pulled Mingshu away in time, and grabbed the rope around the donkey's neck to keep it from moving.

He patted the donkey's neck to calm its emotions: "It is usually the most docile, and it must have been frightened last night."

Ming Shu took the opportunity to ask him: "Last night...is the situation serious?"

"It's okay, "Yuan Chen replied: "Five people were injured."

They were all minor injuries. Last night was the lightest attack, but it is not an option to continue like this.

Yuan Chen sat on the saddle on the donkey's back, and stretched out his hand to Mingshu: "Come."

Mingshu hesitated for a moment, stood on the side of the donkey and grabbed his hand.

Yuan Chen brought him up and sat behind him.

With an extra person on its back, the donkey became restless again, and jumped forward a few times vigorously. Ming Shu hurriedly grabbed Yuan Chen's arm to stabilize his body.

Yuan Chen frowned slightly, and scolded: "Xiao Qi!"

Xiao Qi is the donkey's name, and when Yuan Chen called it, it calmed down a little, breathing heavily from its nose.

When it finally calmed down, Yuan Chen pulled the rope to drive it forward.

After leaving, Mingshu didn't say a word.

He was worried about the newly released tasks and plots in the morning, and he seemed absent-minded. Yuan Chen thought it was because he was going to look for the bones of his family members.

The donkey shuttled through the mountains and forests, and Yuan Chen suddenly said, "If you want, you can stay in the village."

Or if Ming Shu has other relatives away, he can also give him a ride to ensure that he reaches his destination safely.

However, when he thought of Ming Shu's thin body and a beautiful and delicate face, he swallowed the second half of the sentence he wanted to say.

The only threats in the village are werewolves and wolves. Yuan Chen is confident that he can protect Mingshu if he stays. It may be even more dangerous to leave him alone as an orphan.

Ming Shu was so sleepy that he could hardly keep his eyes open. Hearing Yuan Chen's voice, he responded vaguely, and pressed his forehead against Yuan Chen's back.

He was terrified last night, didn't sleep well, and woke up early in the morning. At this time, he felt sleepy one after another.

The mountain road was uneven, and sitting on the back of the donkey was bumpy occasionally, Ming Shu simply hugged Yuan Chen's waist, leaning against him and continued to doze off.

A pair of hands came up from behind, Yuan Chen looked down for a long time, and when he raised his head again, the roots of his ears were faintly red.

-

Half an hour later, Ming Shu was woken up by Yuan Chen.

"Here we are," Yuan Chen tilted his head slightly, "it's right in front." There was

an unpleasant smell wafting around, and over Yuan Chen's shoulder, Ming Shu saw two corpses not far ahead.

The corpse was attacked by wild beasts, its face was beyond recognition, the clothes were almost torn to shreds, the coagulated blood had turned black, some torn internal organs were mixed together, and a few flies hovered above.

Ming Shu's face turned pale, and she looked away, not daring to look again.

But he noticed that there was a discarded bamboo basket next to the body, and a few sweet potatoes rolled to the ground.

These two corpses are more like the surrounding villagers, and his "parents" passed by here on the road, so they probably didn't bring such items as backpacks and sweet potatoes, right?

Ming Shu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No."

Wild beasts attacked passers-by, and sometimes dragged the corpse farther. Although this place is close to the place where Yuan Chen and Ming Shu met, it is not necessarily Ming Shu's parents.

Yuan Chen replied "Yes", and immediately told the donkey to turn around and leave.

The donkey drove the two away, but Yuan Chen didn't return the same way he came, but went in another direction.

He asked Mingshu: "I still want to go to another place, will you come with me?" Neither

of them had the right to refuse this question. It was impossible for Yuan Chen to leave Mingshu here alone, or let him go back alone.

"En." Ming Shu hugged Yuan Chen again, this time the movements were more proficient.

The donkey gnawed a few mouthfuls of grass by the side of the road, shook its ears and set off again.

This time the destination was farther away, and the two went all the way to the depths of the woods until the donkey stopped and refused to go any further.

Yuan Chen brought Ming Shu down, tied the donkey to a tree, and continued on foot.

The weeds here are extremely luxuriant. When you step on it, you can submerge your knees, bypass a few short trees, and there is a small stream in front of you.

Yuan Chen picked up a stone and knocked it on a tree by the stream.

After a while, a mushroom as small as half a palm poked out from the hole in the middle of the tree trunk: "Huh?"

Ming Shu slowly opened his eyes, this is a moving mushroom!

The small mushroom has thin and short hands and feet on the white umbrella handle, and the umbrella cap is purple, revealing a pair of small sesame seed-sized eyes.

It was very happy to see Yuan Chen, it let out a joyful cry, jumped into his hand and rubbed it, and turned around to find another strange face.

Little Mushroom had never seen Ming Shu before, shyly picked up Yuan Chen's fingers to cover half of his body.

This should be the little mushroom mentioned in the plot, the little mushroom that helped Yuan Chen.

Aside from the plot, it was also the first time for Ming Shu to see such a strange creature. He said in amazement, "It's alive!"

At this time, several small mushrooms emerged from the tree hole one by one, surrounding Yuan Chen. Turning around, as if welcoming his arrival.

"They are tree mushrooms." Yuan Chen squatted down and put the small mushrooms in his hand on the ground. "They are unique creatures in this mountain forest."

The appearance of this group of small mushrooms also brought a touch of fairytale atmosphere to this dungeon.

Ming Shu also squatted down, reaching out and trying to touch them.

Little Mushroom is only close to Yuan Chen, and although Ming Shu is someone he brought, the breath on his body is strange.

They avoided Ming Shu's hand one after another, as if they were some scourge.

Only a little mushroom closest to him didn't hide, but moved closer and sniffed Mingshu's fingertips.

Then it approached Mingshu again, smelling his shoes and trousers.

Ming Shu held his breath and remained motionless, for fear of disturbing the other party.

And the other little mushrooms were all beside Yuan Chen, and one even jumped on top of his head.

Yuan Chen picked up the largest mushroom and talked to it.

He didn't shy away from Mingshu, and Mushroom's opponent was related to the plot. He wanted to ask Little Mushroom if he knew why the wolves attacked the village one after another.

Little Mushroom shook his head and whispered something.

Its voice was vague and unclear, Yuan Chen was very patient, and continued to ask while listening.

Finally, Yuan Chen mentioned some traps and routes.

The little mushroom was also very excited at this time, jumped down and picked up a fallen leaf, and used the leaf stem to draw marks on the soft soil.

It seems to be drawing a map, Ming Shu quietly moved closer, but the lines drawn by the little mushroom are too abstract, he is not familiar with the environment in the mountains, let alone understand.

Ming Shu had no choice but to give up, he wanted to ask Yuan Chen after he got back, or find a reason to follow him when setting traps.

Suddenly, Mingshu felt something lightly hit his foot.

He looked down and saw that the little mushroom that kept sniffing in his hand just now was holding a stone, hitting his shoe again and again, muttering something while hitting his mouth.

Ming Shu didn't understand what it was doing, but was amused by it, and stretched out his hand to gently push it away.

Little Mushroom lifted the umbrella hat, his sesame eyes glared, and he turned to hit Mingshu's hand.

It is small in size and weak in strength. It seems to work very hard, but in fact Mingshu doesn't hurt at all.

He began to wonder why the mushroom did this, and listened carefully to the words it said.

Little Mushroom was very angry, holding a stone and smashing it hard: "Bad wolf! Bad wolf!"

Ming Shu heard it clearly this time, and his expression froze on his face.

Too bad, this mushroom saw through his identity.

Yuan Chen also heard the commotion here, and looked sideways.

Mingshu panicked, snatched the stone from Mushroom's hand, and lowered his voice from an angle Yuan Chen couldn't see: "Go away!"

Little Mushroom seemed to be frightened by him, shook his umbrella hat, turned his head and ran away screaming.

Its sound startled the other little mushrooms, and they all looked around.

Ming Shu: "..."

Yuan Chen asked aloud: "What's wrong?"

Ming Shu hid the stone in his hand and shook his head: "It's nothing... shall we go back soon?"

The author has something to say:

Ming Shu: (Tremblingly) If you don't leave, you won't be able to hide
