Chapter 396: Forest

"There's no rule that we have to join a guild, right?" Yi Mo Yun Duo raised an eyebrow.

"That's true too." Su Sheng laughed heartily.

"Alright, you guys go ahead."

Su Sheng rode his horse into the forest.

The members of the Yun Duo Squad watched Su Sheng enter the forest.

"Sister Yun Duo, what mission did Mo Wen and Qian Chen come here to do? What's in the forest?" Yi Mo Yun Xia looked curiously in the direction Su Sheng disappeared.

"How would I know?" Yi Mo Yun Duo rolled her eyes: "If you want to know, go ask him yourself."

"Hehe, I'm just curious, sis~" Yi Mo Yun Xia grabbed Yi Mo Yun Duo's hand.

"Besides, it's so dangerous in there—can he even get in?"

"Just focus on leveling up—Mo Wen and Qian Chen are higher level than us, so their game stage is naturally ahead of ours."

"So it's perfectly normal for them to have a mission in the forest."

"As for whether they can get in, that's not something we need to worry about."

Yi Mo Yun Duo spoke up.

This forest is far from Zhuque Main City.

They also happened upon this training spot; it's not a fixed training spot, but mutated beasts occasionally emerge from the forest.

Those mutated beasts are all elite monsters.

Their levels range from 45 to 59.

The frequency isn't high, but it's not low either.

If there are many people, it's probably not suitable.

But this place is relatively remote, not a fixed training spot, so there's no one else around.

The Yun Duo Squad's leveling here is just right.

The Yun Duo Squad, led by Yi Mo Yun Duo in her new profession, isn't weak either; they can just barely handle these elite monsters.

Moreover, the frequency at which these elite monsters appear is just right—not too fast, not too slow; if it were slower, there'd be no monsters to fight.

If it were too fast, the Yun Duo Squad probably couldn't handle that many.

Of course, the Yun Duo Squad had also wondered what was in the forest.

But after trying to enter, they discovered that the forest contained especially many elite-level mutated beasts.

After going in a certain distance, the pressure became too great, and the Yun Duo Squad retreated.

Furthermore, their team had no assassin.

So they couldn't scout the situation inside the forest.

Now seeing that Su Sheng actually has a mission in the forest, not only Yi Mo Yun Xia is curious, but Yi Mo Yun Duo is also quite curious.

…

…

"Roar!"

Su Sheng rode his mount through the dark forest, with beast roars occasionally coming from around.

Far off, Su Sheng could still see some beasts' silhouettes walking.

After advancing a certain distance, Su Sheng frowned.

These trees are somewhat too dense; in mounted state, Su Sheng's size is relatively large, making it somewhat inconvenient.

To be precise, it's not agile enough; moving through the forest is bumpy and uncomfortable.

Afterwards, Su Sheng simply got off his mount.

"Howl~"

Unexpectedly, just as Su Sheng canceled the mounted state, a black shadow lunged at him, accompanied by a beast roar, a huge bloody mouth lunging to devour him.

Su Sheng didn't panic at all.

The little fellow Su Sheng on his head waved its claw.

Smoke Swirl~

That black shadow was directly frozen in midair.

Tsk tsk…

Su Sheng looked up and saw a pitch-black wolf, merely large in size.

Like a small calf.

He thrust his spear forward!

Deadly Lion Fang!

Fang!

Binding Blade!

3 seconds…

That black huge wolf became a corpse.

Thud~

It also dropped a piece of green gear.

This was a level 48 elite monster.

Howl~

Roar roar!

Ang!!

The beast howls around, rising and falling.

Looking up, all around are black shadows, matching those rising and falling strange howls, plus the dark environment of this forest.

Some timid people could probably be scared into peeing.

But Su Sheng paid no attention, gripping his spear and continued forward.

Those wandering black shadows, though they look frightening.

But many are outside the hatred range.

If one truly enters the hatred range, they would have already pounced.

Shua shua~

After advancing a distance, another black shadow pounced over.

Su Sheng easily dealt with it.

A 51-level Elite Monster.

Su Sheng raised his brow, the monsters here…

Won't they all be Elite Monsters?

Su Sheng guessed.

Soon…

Another black shadow pounced over.

Sure enough, a 47-level Elite Monster.

Every wild beast is an Elite Monster.

Su Sheng thought of the Yun Duo Squad training outside the forest, no wonder…

Occasionally Elite Monsters would spawn, and quite frequently.

But for Su Sheng, it's not a problem.

It's like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather.

…

Thus…

Roar!

Wooo!

A large black bear and a wild wolf lunged at Su Sheng from front and back.

「…」

Brother, I was wrong, can I apologize?

The huge bear's paw came whooshing, answering Su Sheng's question.

If apologies were useful, what would the police uncle be doing?

Although… there are no police uncles in the game.

Wooo~

Sharp wolf fangs are especially conspicuous in the dark forest.

Two…

A bit troublesome.

But…

No problem.

Falling Demon Body activated.

Combined with the lion-like beast's Fireworks Blessing…

Bearing the damage from that 46-level Elite Monster wolf, pressing down and killing the 53-level demonized brown bear before me… calling it a black bear is more fitting, since after demonization its fur is all black.

After killing that big black bear, I turned to deal with the demonized wolf; the Fireworks Blessing Shield still had over a thousand left.

After expending some effort to solve the two demonized beasts before me, Su Sheng stopped in place.

The surrounding demonized beasts are quite many.

This way, wanting to go into the forest center will probably be troublesome.

Change cloak? Sneak in?

Shu~

A cold ray flashed.

Pu~

-3212

Demonic Jungle Cheetah (Elite Monster)

Level: 58

Attack:??

Defense:??

HP:??

…

…

…

Su Sheng raised his brow, Sneak?!

I actually didn't notice, but in this dark environment, it still pounced down from the tree.

Shoot~

Swish~

The mutated jungle cheetah turned into a phantom, and the shot missed.

But…

Su Sheng twisted the gun tip, Fang!

Pfft! Hit!

Because…

Xiao Jia Huo's Smoke Swirl cooldown is over.

After dodging once, the mutated jungle cheetah was pinned in place.

…

…

After picking up the blue equipment dropped by the mutated jungle cheetah, Su Sheng furrowed his brows.

Given this situation, I can't even sneak in.

Su Sheng is level 48.

Monsters over level 58 can see through my stealth.

If I keep going, Su Sheng alone would probably be enough to be arrogant.

Mainly because the forest is narrow, mounted combat is inconvenient.

Moreover…

This is just the forest's outskirts, and it's already this tough; those fallen elves are probably around level 60.

Level 60.

It's tough.

So that great elf tomb is probably also level 60, right?

Su Sheng gritted his teeth…

Call for help!

I'm not a lone ruler!

…

…

Then…

The Yun Duo Squad on the forest outskirts…

Blankly watching the Yanhuang Guild's Thousand-Person Team enter the forest.
