"Child, try the noodles your uncle made especially for you."

The woman put on the mask of a gentle smile again and brought over a plate of delicious noodles.

The noodles were placed on the stone table in front of Zhu Yue, and the tableware was considerately set for her.

Zhu Yue still obediently raised the fork, rolled up the noodles and put them into her mouth, then transferred into the space.

Continue to get information. "Can you continue to talk about the center of the earth? And the story of the wizard and the emperor, what happened later, those people died like that, what happened later?"

She behaved like every curious little girl, maintaining a strong curiosity about everything.

The woman stared at her, watching her still eating the food handed to her without noticing anything.

Hope gradually ignited in my heart. What if this medicine is useful this time?

In order to delay Zhu Yue, the woman did not avoid Zhu Yue's questions.

In her opinion, she would know the answers to these questions sooner or later if she stayed in the wilderness for a while longer.

There is no need to hide anything.

But she would not tell anyone about the offerings that really needed to be kept secret.

"The center of the earth, that's what the wizard used to suppress the 100,000 souls that died here after he refined the magic medicine for the second time. With the center of the earth, the souls will gradually get lost in the wilderness, lose all their obsessions in the endless reincarnation, and finally even forget the cause of their own death. No one knows where the wizard placed the center of the earth in the wilderness. If they knew, it would have been destroyed long ago. The center of the earth not only traps the 100,000 souls, but also desperate people like us who strayed here to avoid the dangers of the outside world."

Zhu Yue had noticed before that when the center of the earth was mentioned, the woman's reaction was always listless and very complicated.

"After giving the second magic medicine to the king, the wizard announced that he had used up too much energy and could no longer refine it and went into seclusion. As for the emperor, what impact can a mere 100,000 people have on the king of a country?"

Zhu Yue rolled up another mouthful of noodles and stuffed it into his mouth, pretending not to see the woman's delighted look.

"If the land in the wilderness cannot be used for planting, how do people survive? There are animals here too, right? How do they survive?"

The woman pursed her lips. "It's not completely impossible to grow it."

"Everyone has the opportunity to go to the dark plains in the center of the wilderness. There is a lot of land there that can be used for planting and there are water sources. As long as you pay enough, you can still get food."

"Why not just live there?"

The woman maintained a gentle smile on her lips, but her eyes were filled with inorganic coldness.

"That place is where only the most powerful people can stay. The resources and danger levels are equal. However, there are still countless people in the wilderness flocking there. Many people believe that it is the most likely location of the center of the earth."

"People of our level in the wilderness can only live in the relatively safe periphery. We can't even dream of living there."

After listening to all the information the woman told him, Zhu Yue gradually put it together in his mind.

She couldn't help but have an idea to go to the Dark Plains to take a look.

【Side quest triggered.】

[Side quest: Get the center of the earth. ]

It seems that the mission is really related to the Dark Plains. As soon as she had the idea of ​​exploring it, the side quest was triggered.

But for so many years, the people in the wilderness have not been able to find any trace of the center of the earth. Zhu Yue felt that if the center of the earth was not indeed hidden very secretly, then the center of the earth was disguised in such a way that it could be easily overlooked.

Everyone subconsciously ignored it and did not think that it was the center of the earth.

Zhu Yue doesn't have much confidence in this side quest.

Take one step at a time.

"How do we get to the Dark Plains?"

The woman gave her a strange look.

"It's easy to die if you don't have enough ability to go there. Eight days from now, on the night of the full moon, all the wilderness people will go to the Dark Plains every year. Of course, you can also go now. The way to the Dark Plains is not difficult. Just pick a dead tree and break through it to reach the Dark Wilderness."

As for the consequences of a failed break-in, Zhu Yue knew it well without the woman saying it.

Mostly loss of life.

It has been a while since Zhu Yue finished eating all the noodles.

The woman took another reluctant look at the clean bottom of the plate and had to accept the result that the drugs had lost their effect.

She gritted her teeth, carried the plate back to the kitchen, and whispered with her husband while looking at Zhu Yue, no one knew what they were talking about.

Zhu Yue was no longer worried about the couple at this moment.

Just as the woman tempted her, she was also tempting them.

For so long, they clearly wanted to take action against her, but they could only do it in this roundabout way. They had to pretend to be submissive to her when she was sober, and it seemed like they had no solution.

It can be seen that they are strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Sure enough, the woman came to Zhu Yue after a while.

"Little girl, it's getting late. You still need to go find your mother and brother. You can leave now."

Seeing that the drugs had no effect on her, the two men actually decided to give up.

Now they have even ordered Zhu Yue to leave.

Zhu Yue is now completely certain that these two people definitely don't want to attack her, but the current situation is very clear, they can't.

There's a huge difference between not wanting to and not being able to.

"I want you to come with me to the Dark Plains."

The gentle smile on the woman's face froze, and the expression of her husband, who was standing behind her like a companion and rarely spoke, also froze.

"We? With you?"

Zhu Yue nodded. "In exchange, I can give you a gift."

She slammed the amulet, which was worthless to her, on the stone table.

The woman's eyes followed her hands to the table.

When he saw the yellow talisman and red words, his pupils constricted and his hair stood on end.

The husband didn't react at all. He didn't think a little girl could be capable of anything.

However, as soon as his hand touched the yellow talisman, it was bounced away by a force of energy.

"What is this?"

Looking again, there was already an extra wound on his hand, and the yellow talisman that caused the wound spontaneously combusted without wind and turned into ashes in front of everyone's eyes.

"The amulet can protect its owner from a fatal blow. As long as you accompany me to the Dark Plains, I will give one to each of you."

The husband was obviously moved.

He looked at the woman.

The woman was also somewhat moved, and she already knew that she had made a mistake.

"Why do you insist that we go with you? With props like this, it won't be a problem for you to go to the Dark Plains by yourself."

Zhu Yue insisted that they go with him because she didn't believe what the woman said before was completely true.

One must be on guard against others, what if the other party is trying to trick her into death?

This is very likely to happen.

You have to know that these two people have never concealed their ill will towards her.

To be on the safe side, it would be better to let these two people go together to explore the way for her.

"After all, I have never been to the Dark Plains. I need someone like you who have been there to show me the way. How about exchanging?"

There was already a murderous look in the husband's eyes, and he was thinking of robbing her.

The woman stopped her husband with one hand, thinking about the inexplicably ineffective drugs and the precious props in front of her, how could someone have so many of them.
