The night slowly fell, and the high-hanging bright moon shed a little silver light, making the dark forest look a little brighter. From the depths of the forest, sharp and penetrating whistles were heard from time to time, and countless beasts became active in the cool night.
Slowly walking in the dense forest, looking at the increasingly sparse trees around him, Zhuo Wen let out a breath. According to the map given by the young man in white, he should be at the junction of the inner and outer areas of the Annihilation Forest at this time.
at.
Compared with the inner perimeter, this place is much safer, but Zhuo Wen will not relax his vigilance because of this. After all, there are certain dangers in the outer perimeter, and he will not be careless.
"I really didn't expect that the inner area of the Annihilation Forest is so vast. Even if I drove non-stop for a day and a night, I only reached the junction of the inner area and the outer area."
Zhuo Wen's face still has the appearance of a young man, but it is no longer the original delicate look, but has an ordinary appearance, a pale face, and a frail look.
That day, the little black dog arbitrarily changed Zhuo Wen's face to look like a wretched uncle. Zhuo Wen naturally refused, so at Zhuo Wen's forced request, Xiao Hei also changed Zhuo Wen's face again, which is now the appearance of a frail young man.
Looking up at the sky that had completely dimmed, Zhuo Wen knew that it was no longer suitable to rush on the road at night. Whether it was due to the fatigue he felt from rushing or the increased danger at night, he had to find a safe place to rest.
Just fine.
Turning around a small forest again, Zhuo Wen paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw a bonfire rising not far ahead, like a beacon in the dark night.
"You can actually meet someone here?" Zhuo Wen was stunned at first, then pondered for a moment, then raised his feet and walked towards the bonfire.
As he got closer, Zhuo Wen could vaguely see three figures sitting next to the bonfire, two men and one woman. One of them was a sturdy middle-aged man, carrying a heavy sword as tall as one person, sitting upright.
In front of the bonfire, it looked extremely dazzling, and the other two were a young man in white and a girl in red skirt.
Looking at the three people beside the bonfire, Zhuo Wen's eyes suddenly became strange, because these three people were none other than the three Fengyu people who had not been separated from him for a long time.
"Who is it?" Just as Zhuo Wen slowly approached, Feng Yu, who was sitting in front of the bonfire, suddenly pulled out the epee behind him, looked directly at Zhuo Wen, and shouted coldly.
Hearing his shout, the young man in white and the girl in red skirt sitting on the other side also sat up and looked at Zhuo Wen warily.
"Don't panic, everyone! I'm just a passerby who came close to the bonfire when I saw it." In the dark tree, a pale and thin young man walked out with a smile and raised his empty hands to show that he meant no harm.
Seeing Zhuo Wen's appearance as a frail young man, the three of them also let out a sigh of relief. The middle-aged man Feng Yu took a moment to look at Zhuo Wen. After confirming that Zhuo Wen's thin body was indeed no threat to them, he took back his heavy sword.
With a smile on his honest face, he said: "Why did my little brother enter the Forest of Annihilation alone? This place is very dangerous."
"Haha! I am a pharmacist. I have always heard that there are rich medicinal materials in the Annihilation Forest, so I ventured into collecting medicines. I just didn't expect that it would take so long." Zhuo Wen took out a few common medicinal plants from his arms and said with a smile.
He had already prepared these words when he saw the bonfire.
"Oh!" Hearing Zhuo Wen's explanation, he looked at the medicinal materials in his hand, with a look of relief on his face. He immediately pointed to the bonfire and said with a generous smile: "Little brother, come and sit down! The night battle of the Annihilation Forest
It's much scarier during the day. It's too dangerous to be out alone, so why not come with us? I just don't know if my little brother's destination is the same as ours."
Nodding gratefully to Feng Yu, Zhuo Wen gently sat next to the campfire and said with a smile: "My next destination is the nearby Yanagawa Town."
"I am Feng Yu, you can call me Brother Feng Yu. I didn't know that my little brother is also from Liuchuan Town! We are from the Liuyan Mercenary Group and are based in Liuchuan Town. Little brother, please come with us.
!" Feng Yu waved his hand and said with a laugh.
"Thank you so much, Brother Fengyu! My name is Xiao Se, and I'm just a pharmacist." Zhuo Wen laughed and said, he quite liked the honest and forthright middle-aged man in front of him.
"You are quite courageous. A mere pharmacist dares to break into the Annihilation Forest alone. If you hadn't met us tonight, you might have become the Yuan Beast's meal!" said the red-dressed young man who was very close to the young man in white.
The girl sneered and said with some disdain.
"Xiao Qian! Don't be ridiculous." Feng Yu coldly shouted in displeasure, then smiled apologetically at Zhuo Wen, pointed at the girl in the red dress and said: "She is my niece Xiao Qian, she has a somewhat upright personality.
Don’t mind, brother.”
"And he is a member of our mercenary group, Feng Gong!" Feng Yu pointed at the young man in white and smiled.
When the young man in white saw him, he nodded gently to Zhuo Wen, and immediately ignored Zhuo Wen, but there was a trace of contempt flashing deep in his eyes, obviously disdainful of Zhuo Wen's low strength.
In Yanagawa Town, pharmacists are basically ordinary people with a rather low status. They can only treat injuries and diseases of ordinary people. Warriors have never bothered to become pharmacists. After all, warriors' strong physiques will not catch diseases, even if they are injured.
, the effect of ordinary medicinal materials on warriors is almost negligible.
However, there are mostly mercenaries in Yanagawa Town, and pharmacists do not have much effect on warriors. This also creates the awkward position of pharmacists with low status.
Zhuo Wen didn't care about the indifferent attitude of the young man in white, Feng Gong, and just smiled.
The girl in the red dress was not too cold about the indifferent smile that always hung on Zhuo Wen's face. She thought that the young man in front of her was obviously an ordinary person. If he came to rely on the three of them, he should have the humility that ordinary people should have, instead of
Such a nonchalant expression.
"Since you came here to depend on the three of us and want to get our protection, then you have to fulfill your obligations. First, clean up our tent, and then wipe down all the weapons there."
The girl pointed at Zhuo Wen and said with a sneer.
Frowning slightly, Zhuo Wen could feel that the girl in the red dress in front of him was deliberately targeting him, but what he didn't understand was that he didn't seem to have offended the girl, but was actually being targeted, which made Zhuo Wen feel a little unhappy.
"Sorry! I have no obligation to do that kind of thing for you, and I am not dependent on you, but simply want to go with you." The smile on Zhuo Wen's face also faded, and he said calmly.
"Simply walking with us? Do you have the qualifications? You bumpkin, let me tell you, the three of us are all warriors. Among them, Uncle Feng's strength has reached the Yinxu realm, and Brother Feng Gong has already reached the Nirvana realm at a young age.
A master, our team leader even praised him for his excellent qualifications! Although I am not as good as the two of them, I still have the strength of the Zhuangfu realm."
"But what about you? You're just a useless pharmacist with no skills. If it weren't for Uncle Feng's kindness, we wouldn't even give you the power to rely on you. Now you're pushing your limits?"
The girl in the red dress put her hands on her small waist, pointed at Zhuo Wen and sneered, showing no mercy in her words.
Being pointed at and scolded by the girl in the red dress, even Zhuo Wen's face looked a little ugly, and a cold light flashed in his sharp eyes.
Just when Zhuo Wen couldn't help but take action, Feng Yu who was sitting on the side suddenly stood up, grabbed the girl in the red dress who got angry for no reason, and shouted: "Xiao Qian, have you had enough trouble! Meeting each other is fate.
, Little brother is our guest, how can you be so rude? I will take care of the tents and weapons, so please don’t embarrass me little brother."
Upon hearing this, the girl in the red dress suddenly showed an unhappy look on her face. However, under Feng Yu's direct gaze, she still bowed her head in compromise and sat next to the young man in white with some anger. She leaned against the young man with her whole body.
There is a hint of coquettishness.
"Little brother, don't mind. Xiaoqian is just outspoken. In fact, she is still very kind-hearted." Fengyu spread his hands helplessly, and then said apologetically to Zhuo Wen.
After calming down his anger, Zhuo Wen smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter!"
However, after this farce, Zhuo Wen no longer wanted to stay at the campfire with the girl in the red dress. Instead, he entered the tent alone, sat cross-legged, and began to slowly calm down his emotions.
If Feng Yu hadn't spoken in time just now, with his temper, he might have killed the girl in the red dress. But for some reason, he always felt that Feng Yu's words just now were too timely, just when he wanted to
Alert when a murder breaks out.
"As expected, he is a waste. I can't bear this. I said, Uncle Feng, why should we take in this waste? It won't help us at all, and it will even hinder us." The girl in red dress leaned on the young man.
He also noticed Zhuo Wen leaving and sneered.
"Shut up! If you don't shut up, this young man is not as simple as he appears. When you mocked him just now, I could feel the faint murderous intention emanating from his body.
Many mercenaries who have experienced hundreds of battles are even more intense. If I hadn't spoken out in time, I don't know what that young man would have done next."
Feng Yu glared at the girl in the red dress and warned coldly.
"Uncle Feng! You are a little unfounded. The young man named Xiao Se has no energy fluctuations in his body at all. How can he pose a threat to us? Even if he has murderous intention in his body, it can only mean that he has killed before.
People, but ordinary people are just ordinary people after all, even if they have killed people, they are no match for a warrior." Feng Gong said calmly.
"That's right! How can that thin and weak waste have strength? He's just an ordinary person. I can crush him to death with just one finger." The girl in the red dress looked at the young man in white in front of her with some obsession, and quickly
He agreed, and his tone was rather resentful.
"Maybe!" Feng Yu turned his eyes to the tent where Zhuo Wen was, and a trace of doubt rose on his face. Just now, he definitely felt the murderous intention in Zhuo Wen that was so powerful that it made him suffocate.
