Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 587 Secret Frame-up

What does "Could it be Zhuxin Island's doing again?" mean?

Although Li Miao found their conversation hard to believe, he could confirm that he had heard it correctly.

He was eating the melon when he suddenly found that the melon had reached his home.

After seeing Li Miao's reaction, the guards were also quite surprised. The chief guard even stepped forward and asked cautiously: "What are you doing..."

"You just mentioned Zhuxin Island? What does this matter have to do with Zhuxin Island?" Li Miao frowned.

"..." After the guard leader looked around to confirm that there were no outsiders, he came to Li Miao and whispered, "This is because the previous incident is closely related to the dark forces of Zhuxin Island."

What he was referring to, of course, was what happened in Forest Area No. 7 a week ago.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Li Miao shook his head decisively to deny it.

"Why do you say that?" the captain of the guard asked in confusion.

"Because I am from Candlewood Island."

Li Miao said expressionlessly.

Hear this.

The captain of the guard and his cronies were stunned for a moment, then fell silent, so shocked that they didn't know what to say.

Li Miao looked at them and said seriously, "I have never heard that Zhuxin Island has any plans for your Haisen Forest. This is absolutely impossible."

"Someone must be framing me."

If Zhuxin Island had this kind of gameplay that involves causing trouble for other forces, there would definitely be some players who would play it.

But Li Miao, as Lingzhu's top player, didn't hear any news.

Therefore, there is no possibility that Zhuxin Island was responsible for this incident.

The captain of the guards also frowned when he heard this.

Although Li Miao behaved very friendly, he would not believe the other party's one-sided words.

However, what the other party said was not completely impossible, which made the captain of the guard feel that things were becoming complicated.

"Well, wait a moment. I'll finish what's going on here and then take you to the top of the tree."

The guard captain said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Li Miao also nodded.

He no longer cared about whether it was a mission or not. Since this matter concerned Zhuxin Island, he had to go and find out the truth.

Lingzhu seemed to have responded to this and sent him a new task directly in the prompt bar.

[You have received a special mission from Zhuxin Island - the mastermind.]

[Mission Description: After following the Cremation to the Sea Forest, you encountered a sudden incident and resolved it, but unexpectedly heard from the local life that Zhuxin Island was doing bad things. This must be malicious slander from other ill-intentioned forces...]

[Task requirements: Investigate the truth behind this incident and try to find out the mastermind behind it.]

[Task reward: unknown]

After seeing this task prompt.

Li Miao's heart became more determined. It was obvious that Lingzhu had also reacted to this. Naturally, this also ruled out the possibility that the Candle Keeper or other people on Zhuxin Island were acting alone without telling them, the players.

And just as Li Miao was waiting for the captain of the guard.

Old Sis also finished the purchasing matters and found Li Miao at this time.

After a conversation, Old Sith also frowned, understanding the importance of this matter to Li Miao.

"...Then go ahead. I will help you with the sea wine grass issue. If you have any difficulties, remember to come to the Cremation first."

After patting Li Miao's arm, Old Sith turned and left to help Li Miao solve the problem of the sea wine grass.

Li Miao waited patiently.

But at this moment, there was movement from the captain of the guard again.

One of the guards seemed to have accidentally been contaminated by some liquid from the diseased hound's corpse, and his face turned gray. Then his body began to become diseased, showing a terrifying appearance.

“It hurts… It hurts so much… Ah… Roar…” The guard who had undergone the disease soon began to try to attack others.

"Control him first, don't touch him!"

The captain of the guards keenly perceived the key point and quickly gave the order to control the guard.

“The situation is more serious than we imagined.”

After asking for more manpower, the captain of the guard looked at Li Miao beside him with a serious expression.

"Come on, I'll take you to see the Archon first."

Hearing this, Li Miao nodded and followed his pace.

The further you go into the sea forest, the denser the trees become. Although there is no sunlight, there are fluorescent wooden lanterns that provide light.

But at this moment, Li Miao was in no mood to observe and appreciate the beauty of the sea forest.

After stepping into an extremely thick giant tree, the two continued to climb along the spiral staircase inside the tree, encountering many gatekeepers along the way.

But with the chief guard there, the guards did not stop them.

Soon, the two arrived at the top of the giant tree.

"Mr. Archon, Guard Captain Qillon requests to see you."

The captain of the guard said loudly.

Soon after his voice was heard, the Archon's deep voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

After getting permission, the captain of the guards slowly lifted the thick vine curtain in front of him, and the wall that was originally like tree bark slowly moved, revealing a big door.

Soon, the two entered the room where the Archon was.

Li Miao immediately set his sights on the consul.

What is very strange is that this archon is not a pure human being, and he doesn't even have any human features. He looks like a wooden stake, with leaves as hair and vines as hands.

The various tool ornaments are also very unique, and it is unclear what their specific functions are.

But now is not the time to worry about these things.

The captain of the guards first briefly described what had just happened on the street, and then introduced Li Miao next to him.

"Mister Archon, this is Miao who came with the Cremation. He dealt with the two mutated scaled dogs and also claimed to be from Zhuxin Island."

When Li Miao introduced himself to these NPCs, he naturally did not use the full ID name, but only said a single word.

Wow.

After hearing the words of the captain of the guards, the vines under the Archon's body wrapped around his entire body, entangled on his body, and soon rose from the ground. The eyes made of flowing light seemed to be looking at Li Miao in front of him.

"There is no smell of lies..."

The Archon muttered to himself in a low voice, as if confirming something.

"Please take a seat."

The Archon raised his vine hand slightly, and a natural wooden chair appeared on the floor behind Li Miao.

"Thank you, Your Excellency the Archon."

Li Miao didn't hesitate and sat down directly.

Upon hearing this, the executive did not respond immediately. Instead, after being busy for a while, he used a vine to lift something and presented it to Li Miao.

Seeing this, Li Miao's pupils shrank slightly.

This is... a candle?!

That’s right, the thing the consul took out was actually a small azure candle that was broken in half.

From this, Li Miao could clearly feel that his body was sensing a familiar yet unfamiliar contradictory feeling.
