Chapter 380 Follow Me to the Forest of Beasts
The waiter quickly put the change into his sleeve, a polite smile on his face. "Miss, you're asking about the young man in white, right? He just left a while ago with a girl on horseback, saying they were going to the Forest of Beasts!"
Zhao Xiruo's fingers gripping the edge of the table suddenly tightened, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then they sank again.
A girl on horseback?
It should be Lin Wan'er, but why are they going to the Forest of Beasts?
Thinking of her experience in the Forest of Beasts after she first came to the Secret Realm of Cultivation, she felt a chill.
There are dangers everywhere in there, and you can die if you are not careful. Yun Chen ran there for no reason... Did something happen?
Her face changed and she turned around to chase him, but just as she stepped out of the teahouse, she saw Elder Lei standing in front of her with a serious face.
Zhao Xiruo suddenly stopped in her tracks, an awkward smile appearing on her face.
"Elder Lei, why are you here?"
Elder Lei was wearing the dark sect uniform, with a silver beard hanging down to his chest. Looking at her, he felt angry and helpless.
"Girl, why are you running around for no reason? Do you think I'm not messy enough?"
He had just returned to the meeting hall and was about to discuss the sect leader's affairs with the elders when he heard a disciple report that Zhao Xiruo was missing.
You know, Zhao Xiruo has an innate Taoist body and is the treasure of the sect. If anything happens to her, won’t the sect leader be struck by lightning?
Fortunately, he knew that the girl should have come to Panlei City to find Yun Chen, so he rushed over without stopping.
Zhao Xiruo stuck out her tongue, her eyes unconsciously glancing towards the Forest of Beasts. She quietly defended herself, "I'm just... I'm just worried that Yun Chen might be seduced away by someone else, so I came to check on him out of concern... If he's seduced away, wouldn't that be a loss for our Divine Thunder Palace as well?"
Elder Lei saw through her thoughts and snorted coldly: "Are you worried about the sect's losses? I'm embarrassed to expose you."
He took a step forward and tapped her forehead with his skinny finger: "Don't think I don't know, you're just worried that Wan'er will snatch Yunchen from you."
Zhao Xiruo's cheeks instantly turned red like ripe cherries when her thoughts were exposed. She reached out and pushed Elder Lei's hand away, stamping her feet and saying, "Elder, what nonsense are you talking about! I didn't do that. If he really was snatched away by someone else, then he's not worthy of my love."
Elder Lei looked at her awkward expression, feeling both angry and amused. He stroked his silver beard and said, "Alright, stop being so stubborn. I just came out of the Tianji Pavilion. I heard that Yun Chen went to the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest... I also want to go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest. Why don't you come with me?"
This girl's mind is all about Yun Chen. Instead of sending her back to the Divine Thunder Palace and letting her sneak out by herself, it is better to keep her by my side for safety.
Anyway, the leader went to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts to investigate the situation the day before yesterday, but there is still no news. He was just about to go to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts to inquire about the leader's news.
Zhao Xiruo suddenly looked up, her eyes lighting up instantly. Her previous awkwardness vanished completely, and she grasped Elder Lei's sleeve, demanding, "Really? Are you really taking me to the Forest of Beasts?"
Elder Lei's arm went numb from her shaking, and he nodded helplessly: "But you have to promise me that when we get there, you will follow my instructions and not act on your own."
He changed the subject, his expression serious, "Not only are there high-level monsters in the depths of the Forest of Beasts, but there are also people from the Chaoyin Pavilion active there. If you run around and something happens, I won't be able to explain to the Sect Leader."
"I promise to be obedient!"
Zhao Xiruo immediately straightened his back, like a disciple who had admitted his mistake, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes: "Elder, let's go quickly. If we go too late, Yun Chen might have already gone deep into the forest!"
Elder Lei looked at her impatient expression, shook his head, and turned to walk towards the beast cart: "Get on board, the blue-maned beasts are fast, and we can reach the outskirts of the forest before dusk."
Zhao Xiruo jumped into the car and the beast cart started again, speeding towards the Forest of Beasts.
At this time, at the entrance of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, Yun Chen and Lin Wan'er fell from the flying swords.
"Brother Yun, it's been many days since we met the people from Chaoyin Pavilion. They may not still be here."
Lin Wan'er looked at Yun Chen and wanted to persuade him again.
After all, the Forest of Beasts is indeed full of dangers, and with the people from Chaoyin Pavilion... she doesn't want Yun Chen to take any risks.
She only passed on the message because someone asked her to do so, and she also felt that she should tell Yun Chen.
"It doesn't matter whether he's here or not. First, take me to where my master was captured."
Yun Chen's eyes were stern, with a cold light flashing in his pupils.
If anything happens to his master, he will make everyone in Chaoyin Pavilion be buried with her, no matter what the cost.
"Okay! But... you have to calm down." Lin Wan'er looked at his cold and resolute expression and pursed her lips.
Although Yun Chen appeared calm, she could see that he was angry.
There was a strong murderous intent in his eyes. If she didn't know the location of Guixu, Yun Chen would have run over to save her long ago.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Yun Chen responded lightly.
Seeing this, Lin Wan'er said nothing more and led him forward.
In the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, towering ancient trees block out the sun, and sunlight shines through the gaps between branches and leaves, casting tiny spots of light. The air is filled with the damp smell of rotten leaves and the faint scent of monsters.
Vines were tangled on the ground, and the occasional roars of unknown beasts made the forest even more eerie.
Lin Wan'er and Yun Chen walked side by side. After walking a few hundred meters, suddenly a huge python rushed down from the treetops, opened its bloody mouth and bit towards the two of them.
Yun Chen was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He turned his wrist and the black sword drew a semicircle, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the snake's head.
The snake's head was cut off, blood splattered, and the giant python fell to the ground with a thud, dead.
"This is the outskirts. There aren't many powerful monsters here. Most of them are in the Qi training stage. But the deeper you go, the more dangerous it will be. Brother Yun, be careful..."
Lin Wan'er warned him while being alert to the surrounding situation.
Yun Chen nodded without saying anything.
With his current strength, he doesn't have to worry unless he encounters a Nascent Soul.
The two continued to walk forward for a few hundred meters, and Yun Chen killed many more monsters during these few hundred meters.
Just as Lin Wan'er said, most of them are powerful monsters, and their strength is probably at the same level as that of tigers in the mortal world.
With Yun Chen's current strength, he could kill him easily.
Just after Yun Chen killed a giant lizard, he suddenly felt a strong soul pressure coming at him.
"Is this... the late Jindan stage?"
Yun Chen's expression changed involuntarily, and Lin Wan'er obviously felt it as well, her little face turning pale in an instant.
Just as Yun Chen finished speaking, a deafening roar of a beast suddenly erupted from the forest, the ground shook violently, and a huge black shadow suddenly rushed out from behind the bushes.
It was a giant black-striped bear as big as a hill, its brown fur covered with mysterious black patterns, its eyes were red, and saliva was dripping from the corners of its mouth. It was the Golden Core Stage demon beast "Earth-Splitting Bear"!
