Chapter 487: Black Forest

Holding a piece of cloth, Su Xiao wiped Zhan Long Shan clean, sheathed it, and began to wipe the blood off his hands.

Wusan Brother stood in place awkwardly. He wanted to help before, but didn't expect the battle to be over before he even rushed behind the giant rock.

"See, with the same buff state, why is he so fierce?"

Xiao Mihu didn't care about the corpses behind the giant rock. Although she wasn't old, she knew the cruelty within the Reincarnation Paradise very well.

"I am a main tank, main tank, main tank!"

Wusan Brother said the important words three times.

"Then you should tank."

"Tank your sister, the people were already dead before I rushed over."

Wusan Brother sat back in the driver's seat.

"Still, the driver is more suitable for me. But is he really a First-Tier Qiyuezhe? Although I've seen a similar scene before, this is a bit ridiculously strong."

Su Xiao threw some food and fresh water onto the armored vehicle. The reason he killed those Qiyuezhe quickly wasn't to show off his strength. After those guys discovered that bullets were ineffective, they immediately took out a blue-quality rocket launcher. Although those Qiyuezhe felt a heartache, they still intended to blow up the armored vehicle.

The armored vehicle was very important and couldn't be damaged for the time being.

Experiencing this small episode, Su Xiao confirmed one point: Xiao Mihu was very useful. If it weren't for the other party's buff state, he couldn't have killed those Qiyuezhe in such a short time.

Xiao Mihu's value had already been reflected. Wusan Brother, who was sitting in the driver's seat, wasn't very nervous; it was his home field after entering the Black Forest.

The armored vehicle drove at high speed and stopped after driving for a few hours.

A forest appeared in sight. This forest was very dense, completely blocking the sunlight. More importantly, the trees and branches of the forest were all pitch black.

The Black Forest had arrived, and ahead was the entrance to the Black Forest.

"Drive in?"

Wusan Brother looked at Su Xiao and the others. Although Xiao Mihu was the captain, all actions were decided by the few people together.

"Don't drive. Driving in might lead to death."

Su Xiao decided to abandon the armored vehicle. He had thought about driving the armored vehicle into the Black Forest before, but now it seemed that wasn't the case at all.

Just standing outside the Black Forest, Su Xiao had a feeling that it seemed to be a giant beast waiting to devour any living creature that dared to enter.

"Then what about the supplies? We need a lot of food and fresh water."

Xiao Mihu picked up a small backpack, which contained food and fresh water. Her physique could only afford her daily needs.

"I'll do it."

Old Man Shi carried a large bag on his back. Wusan Brother didn't speak; he couldn't have any burden because he would walk at the very front of the team. This was the dignity of a main tank.

Su Xiao also couldn't have any burden. If a danger really erupted, he would also be on the front line. Either don't cooperate, or don't be timid and stand in the back after cooperating; that wasn't his style.

"I'll scout the path."

Wusan Brother signaled the few people to follow. Although he was a main tank, he didn't have a shield or anything, but wore a pair of heavy metal gauntlets. The gauntlets wrapped up to his forearms, and each gauntlet was as thick as a person's torso.

Wusan Brother didn't need a shield at all; two gauntlets blocking in front were a shield, and the gauntlets were much more flexible than a shield.

Steam rose from the gauntlets, and Wusan Brother's silly style disappeared, walking cautiously at the front.

At this time, the few people hadn't entered the Black Forest yet. Su Xiao was a bit confused as to why only this place was the entrance; this place was no different from other locations.

After approaching the Black Forest, Su Xiao understood why. A layer of black mist permeated the edge of the Black Forest. This layer of black mist wasn't obvious from a distance, and one could only see it after walking close.

Picking up a branch, Su Xiao threw the branch toward the black mist.

The branch flew in mid-air, and just as it entered the black mist, the branch was instantly decomposed, turning into a wisp of smoke and drifting away.

Su Xiao's eyebrows frowned. With this black mist, the Black Forest was like a cage, and one could only enter and exit from the entrance.

The fact was exactly so; the Black Forest was a cage, imprisoning terrifying things inside.

On the tenth day of the trial, which was the last day, these black mists would disappear, and the things inside would break out of the cage.

The black mist seen now was already very thin. If it were a few months ago, the black mist here would be a wall, and one couldn't see the situation inside the Black Forest at all.

The so-called entrance actually also had black mist, but the black mist here was very thin.

"How to get in?"

Su Xiao looked at Old Man Shi. The Sun Girl must have told Old Man Shi the method of entering. Wusan Brother and the two also had a method of entering, but the cost of that method was too high.

"One minute."

Old Man Shi took a deep breath, and his eyes became scorching red.

A wisp of flame was spat out from Old Man Shi's mouth. The flame was white and rushed straight into the black mist.

*Pop pop pop pop... *

It seemed like firecrackers were lit, and bursts of explosions came from within the black mist.

Spitting fire for a full minute, the thin black mist at the entrance was burned into a hole.

"Quick, it can only be maintained for ten seconds or so."

Old Man Shi's expression was listless, but he rushed to the front.

Discovering Old Man Shi rushing forward, Su Xiao also followed behind. The few people rushed into the black mist and officially entered the Black Forest.

Just as the few people entered the Black Forest, the black mist at the entrance surged and gradually healed.

After entering the Black Forest, Su Xiao discovered that the trees here were not black. The black seen before was because of the black mist covering them.

Unlike the dead and dull scene imagined, the Black Forest was full of birds and flowers, and the clear air even had a faint sweetness.

【You have entered a dangerous area: Black Forest.】

【You are eroded by the Source of Black Mist, taking 1 point of true damage per second. After being eroded for more than ten minutes, the damage will double. (e. g., after ten minutes, 2 points of true damage per second; after twenty minutes, 4 points of true damage per second; after thirty minutes, 8 points of true damage per second; after half an hour, an instant death judgment will be performed every 5 seconds.)】

Su Xiao took out a processed Primordial Seed and squeezed it gently. Emerald green tiny vines grew out from the Primordial Seed and clung to his clothes. The erosion of the 【Source of Black Mist】 disappeared. No wonder Old Man Shi said the Primordial Seed was the ticket to the Black Forest. If there were no Primordial Seed, even if one persisted for half an hour by taking medicine, one would die.

Looking at the emerald green around, Wusan Brother sighed: "This is the Black Forest? Different from what I imagined."

Wusan Brother walked at the front, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

"Don't move."

Su Xiao shouted, and walked slowly toward Wusan Brother, a dagger sliding out from his sleeve.

"Poisonous?"

Wusan Brother didn't move, his eyeballs turned to look at a red bug on his shoulder. This should have fallen from the tree. Not only did Wusan Brother not sense it, but Su Xiao didn't sense it either; he saw it by relying on his super strong eyesight.

"Should be highly poisonous."

Su Xiao's hand raised, leaving an afterimage in mid-air, using the dagger to pick the small bug off Wusan Brother's shoulder. When picking the small bug off, the tip of the dagger scratched the outer skin of the small bug.

*Sizzle~. *

Blue smoke rose from the tip of the dagger and quickly corroded downward. Su Xiao immediately let go, and the dagger was already riddled with holes before it even hit the ground.

"This..."

Wusan Brother's face didn't look very good; the Black Forest was more dangerous than imagined.

"Plan the route."

Su Xiao didn't look at the small bug; he had experienced similar situations too many times.

Old Man Shi took out the map.

"Our position is here."

Old Man Shi pointed to the corner of the Black Forest.

"We need to cross half of the Black Forest and finally arrive here."

Old Man Shi pointed to the direction opposite to where the few people were. If they wanted to arrive there, they needed to cross half of the Black Forest, and the route was a semicircle.

"Too far. We only have twelve hours, and after that, we need to return here. With the area of Devour Island, it's impossible to arrive."

Wusan Brother's face was as heavy as water. The Primordial Seed he carried could only be maintained for 24 hours.

"We don't need to return here. If successful, we can go out on that side, and don't link the area of the Black Forest with Devour Island. I don't know the specific reason, but the time is definitely enough, as long as we don't die on the road."

Old Man Shi's words were astonishing.

"This is different from what the Sun Girl said."

"Heh~, she only dares to shrink in the red soil area. For generations, it has been us Asenmans responsible for going deep into the Black Forest. Where do you think this map came from? Can the giant's thick fingers draw such a detailed map? If it weren't for the critical moment, one Primordial Seed wouldn't be able to exchange for this map. This map is the achievement of my ancestors, legendarily used by the Sun Girl to please the Giant Race. I thought it was just a rumor before." ===== CHAPTER 488 =====
