Chapter 904: Chapter 904 - 414: Bro, Stop Competing_2

"No hurry, I can become even stronger! The next time I catch their trace, it will be the moment of their complete annihilation!"

Xiao Jin adjusted her state and prepared to return to the neighborhood.

With her there, the neighborhood is safe and secure, able to guard Fang Yu.

"I’ll handle everything... No need to worry, Fang Yu, in this lifetime, you have nothing to worry about!"

...

In the game.

Fang Yu opened his eyes.

The long night, if one were just to close their eyes and rest, it would be too much of a waste of time.

Time to seek Ling Huxiang for advice on wilderness experience!

Fang Yu ate and browsed his phone, not taking much time, so even if someone noticed, they would just see Fang Yu lying down to rest for a while, quickly waking up afterward.

Ling Huxiang didn’t mind Fang Yu asking for advice, but she was the type who would definitely start resting at a certain time.

So once she closed her eyes, Fang Yu was completely without a target for consultation, leaving him to practice martial arts on his own.

And not far from the abandoned village where Fang Yu was, there lay a dark Death Forest.

In the forest, Huang Qixin stared at the eerie green bonfire in front of him, his heart pounding furiously.

For around him, players from the Dreamshock Society were madly shouting ’Help!’ ’It’s broken! It’s broken! I can’t control myself anymore!’ and such.

A group of people, like they were engaging in some ritual dance, lined up, jumping into the eerie green bonfire one by one.

This eerie green bonfire seemed to have a ridiculously high temperature; anything that touches it ignites instantly, burning to ash.

In just the blink of an eye, five or six players had already died.

Though players’ overall skill was not great, they were definitely stronger than Huang Qixin.

"Curse! It’s a ghost fire curse!"

"There is a curse-type Great Demon nearby! Quickly find it! Find it!!"

Someone from the Black Tiger Gang shouted, but everyone had long since discarded their torches, which extinguished upon hitting the ground the instant the flames changed color.

Otherwise, those holding torches would have already been burned to ashes like the previous people.

Now, the only source of light for the team was this bonfire; how can they find the enemy lurking in the darkness?

"Mr. Elder Mo! Please, sir, save us!"

The Black Tiger Gang’s Dog-headed Military Advisor, already panicked, quickly pleaded to an elder within the team.

This person, known as [Mo Shou], was once a legendary figure from Tianyuan Town.

Though he had come out of retirement in his old age, he was still the backbone, the final support of their team!

Elder Mo, seated, slowly rose from the stone block and drew the bamboo sword from his waist.

The bamboo sword, sheathed in bamboo, its blade also made of bamboo.

A weapon that appeared harmless, yet the instant Elder Mo thrust it towards the eerie green bonfire...

ZZZZZZ!!!

The eerie green bonfire extinguished instantly.

Those who had been controlled to queue suddenly regained control over their bodies.

"Oh my! Oh my! I can move again!"

"Boss! There’s a boss here! This Lao Deng is strong!"

"Shut up! You don’t want to live! Quickly join me in shouting: Thanks to the seniors for saving us!"

Though Elder Mo found these people noisy, he said nothing more.

With a reverse stroke, he suddenly thrust his sword to the right. A gust from the sword’s edge blew, shaking the leaves violently, and the unknown threat also quietly retreated.

Sheathing the sword.

Elder Mo returned to his meditation on the stone block, letting the team fall into chaos before gradually returning to calm, lighting torches to spend the night.

...

Outside the Death Forest, on a gravel path, a team of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

This group seemed to transition from nonexistence to existence, from illusion to reality, without any transition, suddenly appearing on the path.

"The time for my pen’s invisibility has run out, let me tap you again."

The figure of Qiong Xiaolou busied himself among the crowd, quickly making the team disappear into the darkness without leaking a single ray of light.

Only voices faintly emerged.

"Well done, if this journey successfully achieves its objectives, I, Absolute Sect, don’t mind having one more Outer Disciple; you should seize this opportunity."

Qiong Xiaolou was overjoyed and quickly expressed his stance.

"Yes!"

The Bonfire Gathering was merely an intermediary; Absolute Sect, a Major Sect, was Qiong Xiaolou’s true aim.

Joining such a Major Sect meant no worries about living off this game in the future.

...

"It’s dawn."

Fang Yu sheathed his sword and spoke.

Though he usually doesn’t rely much on martial arts to gain proficiency or experience points, Fang Yu was diligent in his daily martial practice.

Especially in terms of constitution, staying up overnight isn’t a problem at all; his stamina was abundant.

"According to the distance traveled, going a bit further should lead us to the Death Forest."

Ling Huxiang said in a low voice.

By this time, the other members of the team began packing up, ready to set out.

"Death Forest? Is it very dangerous?" Fang Yu asked, puzzled.

"If we don’t run into Lady Cai, then the [Death Forest] would be the biggest challenge we face on this journey."

Lady Cai was a man-made misfortune, encountered by chance.

And the Death Forest was ever-present, unavoidable, and considered a risk from the moment of departure.

So Ling Huxiang’s words largely pointed out that the Death Forest is the most dangerous part of the entire journey.

Of course, it also meant that if they successfully traverse the Death Forest, the path ahead would be smooth.

After slight reorganization, the team set out mightily.

This time, truly grand.

The Hei Family, Zuo Family, Foolish Underworld, these three forces gathered together, the numbers were quite considerable.

"The Hei Family Elders haven’t given chase yet, does this mean..."

Fang Yu muttered softly.

Ling Huxiang slightly shook her head.

"That [Spirit] hasn’t pursued either, so it’s unclear what the situation is."

Fang Yu and Ling Huxiang, as the leaders of the Foolish Underworld team, were responsible for guarding the perimeter and leading the way. They also had to stay on the sidelines ready for action.

But once the Hei Family took their turn, they could relax and retreat into the team to rest, enjoying the protection of others.

Fang Yu calculated that from when their team was responsible for protection to when it was the Hei Family’s turn, he had earned only three attribute points, encountering just a few Little Demons.

These Little Demons, faced with such an exaggerated team, were eliminated in no time, and Fang Yu squeezed out these three attribute points forcibly.

"He is still so brave."

Zuo Lv said calmly.

The maidservant beside her, now with her family being the master in charge, had more freedom to speak, couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

"Miss, you don’t like them both, do you?"

Zuo Lv glanced sideways at her.

"Shallow."

Yesterday she had risked her life as a show for Cai Niang. She merely wanted to help a friend escape from danger.

If Cai Niang truly disregarded her, she wouldn’t have risked her life sincerely for Diao Deyi.

As for truly liking them, neither really reached that level; at most, she had a slight good impression.

Just as Zuo Lv thought this, the team suddenly stopped.

What’s going on?

Zuo Lv looked ahead, and the entrance to the Death Forest had arrived.

The Death Forest, covering a large area, had several entrances.

Their entrance was considered relatively safe, and once inside, they could quickly find the nearest exit to cross the Death Forest.

"Something’s up."

In Zuo Lv’s puzzled gaze, Ling Huxiang from Foolish Underworld went to report the situation to Zuo Caicai.

Fang Yu then took the opportunity to come to Zuo Lv’s side and, with her questioning look, whispered: "There’s an ambush, be careful when the fight breaks out."

After speaking, not waiting for Zuo Lv’s reaction, Fang Yu walked away.

This guy!

Zuo Lv glared at Fang Yu’s back, then looked around but couldn’t see any movement.

How did he figure out there was an ambush?

How did this guy become the Foolish Underworld’s captain, the strength skyrocketed too?

Both were geniuses, yet Zuo Lv felt she wasn’t that far behind Fang Yu.

But judging from Fang Yu’s frequent interventions and swift movement technique before, his strength was indeed temporarily much greater than hers.

Being left behind this far!

Zuo Lv felt somewhat unwilling.

Only when she saw Hei Ao did she feel slightly balanced.

Because since Hei Ao discovered Fang Yu had slightly displayed his strength, his view had never left Fang Yu.
