Chapter 802: Dark Forest 2

Demonic Beasts run rampant in the Dark Forest; if one is not a Martial Artist, they shouldn't even dream of stepping inside.

High-level Demonic Beasts occupy the inner regions of the forest; for anyone who isn't a top-tier human expert, entering means only one thing: death.

The lovesick dyed red bean that Su Luo needed to collect this time was located within the inner regions of the Dark Forest.

No one could say for sure how many years the Dark Forest had existed on the continent, but once inside, the ancient trees that blotted out the sun were enough to prove its long history.

The shortest of the ancient trees were dozens of meters high, while the tallest almost pierced the clouds.

Because they hadn't seen sunlight for a long time, the ground appeared somewhat damp.

Ever since entering the Dark Forest, Su Luo had been in a state of high alert, her eyes warily scanning the surroundings.

Even though this was only the outer perimeter, the Demonic Beasts here were not easily dealt with.

Just then, Zi Yu tossed something to Su Luo.

"Is this a map?" Su Luo asked curiously.

"If I have to step in three times, the mission will be considered a failure," Zi Yu looked at her coldly. "The consequence of failure is your removal from the rolls."

"There are only three chances, and you have already used one."

After saying this, Zi Yu coldly withdrew his gaze and did not say another word.

Su Luo's lips twitched slightly.

That so-called 'one time' must refer to the time he injured Li Yaoxiang earlier, right?

That beautiful Master of hers was truly ruthless; fearing she might become lazy through dependence, he had even restricted the number of times her ice-block Senior Brother could intervene!

"Understood," Su Luo hummed twice.

There were no paths in the dense forest, only a vast ocean of green.

It was brimming with greenery.

Due to the lack of human presence, there were no roads in the forest at all, not even small trails trodden by people.

The temperature inside was many degrees lower than outside; the fragrance of soil mixed with the decay of fallen leaves constantly stimulated Su Luo's nostrils.

However, this long-lost scent of fragrant grass made Su Luo's features relax; a sense of familiarity from her past life, which she had somewhat forgotten, spontaneously emerged at this moment.

Su Luo clutched the parchment map and continued forward, followed by her silent ice-block Senior Brother.

The lovesick dyed red bean was located in the Southeast Grand Canyon, but according to the map's instructions, she had entered directly from the east.

Therefore, she now had to head in a southeasterly direction.

Occasionally, she encountered a few Flame Rabbits along the way, but these low-level Demonic Beasts posed no threat to Su Luo at all, so she passed them without a second glance.

The Flame Rabbits seemed to sense Su Luo's aura; before she could even get close, they scrambled away on their short legs.

In truth, Su Luo had absolutely no interest in them either.

Although she could wipe them out with a wave of her hand, the battle process would inevitably release a bloody scent; if that attracted powerful Demonic Beasts, it would be disastrous.

She continued forward for about half a day's journey.

Suddenly, Su Luo's brow furrowed slightly as she came to a halt: "Senior Brother, there is danger ahead."

Zi Yu gave her an almost imperceptible nod. To be able to detect danger at this distance meant she wasn't a complete blockhead.

Su Luo's eyes narrowed, and her entire body immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

Soon, a rustling sound came from the ground.

This sound surrounded Su Luo from all directions.

The wind blew past.

A thick, foul stench wafted through the air, causing Su Luo's slender brows to knit together slightly.

When Su Luo looked back again…

Great, her ice-block Senior Brother had actually left her behind and vanished again.

As expected, this was her battle alone.

At this moment, she strongly suspected that the Little Divine Dragon entering a deep sleep had something to do with Master.
