Li Yue watched helplessly as a monster walked out from the roots of the tree. After sensing it for a moment, he found that half of the demon's face was made of leaves and half of its face was human. It had fangs protruding, and it looked like it was not easy to mess with.
Li Yue didn't know yet that the man in front of him was the forest guard who had dissuaded the Demon Wolf King Fenteus.
[Analyzing...97%...]
Yingying looked at Dandan, and Dandan looked at Li Yue, but the two monsters had no face or eyes, so the forest guard didn't understand what these people were silent about.
Li Yue almost replied "I'm from the East", but after holding it back, his mind was a little down, because the analysis was about to be completed, so it was best to know the identity of the monster and then choose the conversation method carefully.
After all, it is a demon that can come in and out of trees, and its strength is comparable to Galaric. If you haven't found the opponent's weakness, you won't be wrong if you say less.
Seeing Li Yue's silence, the forest guard walked around to the three demons, looked at them carefully, and took a few more glances at Dandan.
"You killed countless insects on the way in, but you didn't do it for prey or for self-protection. Why?" In the Forbidden Forest, killing small monsters for fun is a routine operation, but it does not prevent the forest guards from using this to open up the world.
topic.
"They are approaching." The insects were killed by the shadow, and the shadow demon answered at this time.
"Then I'm getting closer." The forest guard's fangs were slightly open, as if he didn't agree with Yingying's statement.
After asking and answering questions, Li Yue also collected No. 116 - The Forest Guard as he wished.
[Forestkeeper; Distribution: Forbidden Forest; Lifespan: Changes according to the existence of Forbidden Forest; Habits: Old-fashioned and stubborn, bearing the curse of Forbidden Forest, able to call on part of the forest's will to reproduce natural disasters that the forest has encountered; Hobbies
Li Yue roughly scanned the introduction of the forest guard in the devil's illustrated book, and knew that the person in front of him was indeed a master who could not be messed with. Of course, Li Yue was focused on "weaknesses" at first, but when he saw that the weakness column said
"Forbidden Forest", combined with other introductions, Li Yue suddenly understood...the forest guard and the forbidden forest have a symbiotic relationship.
Fighting the forest guard is basically equivalent to fighting the forbidden forest.
After Li Yue thought about this clearly, he felt the forest guard's gradually protruding fangs, and hurriedly interrupted Yingying's conversation with him: "We are here...to visit."
"Visit?" The forest guard turned to look at Li Yue, with a little doubt in his eyes among the mountains of leaves and in his eyes, "What are you?"
Even though the forest guard was well-informed, he still couldn't figure out what kind of monster a ball of thread wrapped by several tentacles was.
[Shadow demon...an egg...an octopus-like monster...are they the sons of the devil? So troublesome...]
trouble?
Li Yue keenly grasped the mentality of the forest guard - the forest guard who is keen on "balance" and "hunting hunters" naturally kills monsters he doesn't like when he encounters them in the forbidden forest; but the devil's son can make
If he finds it troublesome, does it mean that he is also wary of this identity?
As long as he does not regard himself as a "hunter", Li Yue feels that the conversation should be able to continue; and the 76.451% action prediction success rate is enough for Li Yue to listen to his heart and say what he likes to hear.
"Yes, we are the sons of the devil, and this visit to the Forbidden Forest... is also our subject." Of course, Li Yue couldn't explain who he was, so he tried to bring the topic back on track, "The subject assigned by Mento, the mentor of the Demon King."
Li Yue never hesitated to use Mentuo's name to deceive. While talking to the forest guard, he also sent a message to Dandan and Shadow, telling them not to talk nonsense.
[Mento...son of the devil...closed combat training? This is the topic of closed combat training...will there be other sons of the devil coming in...]
The forest guard suddenly became anxious and retreated into the nearest tree, only to appear again after a while.
[No...there are no other demon children...only they came in...]
[Wait a minute...Prince Finley is dead...Fenteus cannot be allowed to see them...]
[Once discovered by Fentuus or the Demonic Wolf... the children of the devil will die... in the Forbidden Forest...]
"Prince Finley...are you okay?" The forest guard took the opportunity to confirm the identity of the three demons Li Yue - they are also the sons of demons who participated in closed combat training. There is no reason why they don't know about Finley's situation.
"Finley... disappeared a long time ago. I don't know where he went." Li Yue said as if it had nothing to do with him. "The Demon Wolf Prince and the Skeleton Prince were both absent from that class. We didn't know what happened.
What……"
"Do you know where he went? Did he return to the Forbidden Forest? We miss him very much." Li Yue's tentacles swayed in the air, and mucus fell down one after another, like tears of sadness.
"..." Yingying slowly cracked a few points, admiring Li Yue's superb acting skills.
"I don't know." The forester shook his head.
[They are really the sons of the devil... They cannot be allowed to meet Fentuus...]
Of course Li Yue knew why the devil's son could not be allowed to meet Fenteus - Fenteus' son died in a closed battle training, but he was not allowed to express his anger after meeting him?
"You are... the forest guard, right?" Li Yue probably figured out what the forest guard was thinking and hurriedly dispelled his doubts, "We are here just to observe and learn, and will not have any impact on the forbidden forest.
There is absolutely no desire to go deeper..."
[Indeed... they stopped going deeper when the shadow demon reached its coverage limit...]
The forest guard actually keenly grasped the logic of Li Yue and others' actions, and confirmed Li Yue's statement, and nodded slightly.
"How long do you need?" The forest guard thought for a moment. While he recognized their identity, he was also very reluctant to see the three sons of devil wandering in the forbidden forest.
"Half a green hour is enough. We are just walking around casually. Do you have any recommendations?" Li Yue seemed to be asking a tour guide.
"There should be no threat to your existence outside the Forbidden Forest, except for the jackal family that just came back." When the forest guard said this, the inner drama was quite subtle.
[Those who hunt everything...those who use killing as a sport...those who kill more than they eat...a family of jackals...]
"Okay, let's go there and take a look." Li Yue patted his balls with his tentacles, looking very excited.
[The devil's son... is difficult to restrain... just like Prince Finley...]
The forest guard remembered a demonic wolf that once gave him a headache, and suddenly waved his hand to the trees inside, and the demonic trees also wavered in response.
Immediately afterwards, the branches of the magic trees grew, forming a vague tree wall.
"Don't cross the line I've drawn for you, or I will expel you." Although the forest guard gave enough to save face, it did not mean that he would indulge the three devil's sons without limit, and still retained a layer of insurance.
"I will watch you." After the forest guard finished speaking, he pointed at Yingying, "Especially you, just be careful, observe and learn, it doesn't mean you can destroy all the way... I will also do it in half a green hour
During the time, temporarily banish the creatures here... their hunting intentions towards you..."
Yingying was not convinced after hearing this, because he felt that those insects were not a problem; but Li Yue immediately sent a message to it and gave it a pertinent suggestion.
"Whenever you can cover the entire forbidden forest, you can consider killing him, otherwise don't move."
"He is very powerful?" Yingying saw the forest guard hiding in the trees again, and then wrote the words on the eggshell.
"Almost...he can mobilize the power of the Forbidden Forest, you saw it." Li Yue even suspected that in the Forbidden Forest, in terms of combat alone, the forest guard could reach "quasi-demon level" strength.
"Why did you keep holding me down just now? It must be very satisfying to be beaten by him, right?" Dandan had wanted to challenge the forest guard for a long time, but Li Yue kept holding him down with his mind and did not act immediately out of politeness.
Of course it's enjoyable... "Catastrophe" and "Cursed Fang" sound very enjoyable, but it's not the time yet.
"Don't be so short-sighted. Let's go. After finishing tonight's big things, we can then consider satisfying our personal needs." Li Yue comforted Dandan and Yingying as they drifted towards their destination.
After clearing the last obstacle on the way forward, Li Yue, Dandan, and Yingying quickly approached the cave where the Jackal family was - this time there was no need to drive away the monsters on the road, and the progress was much faster.
Li Yue even figured out how to leave the Forbidden Forest and felt relieved.
Until a figure jumped down from the slope in front of the three demons.
