Looking at the unruly girl with a face full of sarcasm and disdain, Zhuo Wen frowned slightly, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he turned his gaze to the old man and said: "Senior, although I am not strong enough, I am very good at Annihilation.
Some parts of the forest are quite familiar. Judging from the direction you are going, you should be going to annihilate the evil eyes deep in the forest. And seeing that you are in a hurry, I am afraid you are in a hurry to get there."
"But I know a shortcut. You can pass through this forest and reach the Eye of the Evil Within in one day." Zhuo Wen cupped his hand and said in a neither humble nor condescending way.
"Oh? You actually know the shortcut?" The old man looked at Zhuo Wen in front of him in surprise and said.
"Of course the juniors don't dare to deceive the seniors!" Zhuo Wen nodded.
After thinking for a moment, the old man nodded and said: "My little brother is quite discerning and can see that we are in a hurry to get to Tiansha Mingyan. If my little brother really knows the shortcut, I can take you with us!"
After hearing the old man's agreement, the other people in the team didn't react much. Only the youngest girl objected again and said with a sneer: "Third uncle, with such a low strength of this guy, how could he possibly enter?"
What about the depths of the Annihilation Forest? I think the shortcut he mentioned is probably a fiction, and its purpose is to allow us to protect him for free."
As soon as the girl said this, the old man and the others were startled. Then they looked at Zhuo Wen with evil eyes. Obviously, what the girl said was not unreasonable.
Looking at the changing expressions of everyone at the scene, the unruly girl showed a gloating smile on her pretty face, and stared at Zhuo Wen with a playful curl of her lips, obviously wanting to see how Zhuo Wen got into trouble.
Zhuo Wen's expression remained unchanged, but he took out a map from his arms. This map was originally given to him by Black Rose. It recorded the approximate scope and location of the Annihilation Forest.
"Senior should know that there is a Yanagawa Town in the Annihilation Forest, and the boy is a doctor in this town. There are many mercenaries gathered in Yanagawa Town, and these mercenaries rely on the Yuan Beast Yuan Core in the Annihilation Forest to survive. As the
The mercenary's exploration and the map of the Annihilation Forest were naturally drawn."
"So if you want to know the location of the Annihilation Forest, you don't have to explore it yourself!" Zhuo Wen said lightly, shaking the map in his hand.
Taking the map from Zhuo Wen's hand, the old man browsed it roughly and confirmed that the map depicted was indeed the scope of the Annihilation Forest. His expression softened a lot, and he nodded and said: "What the little brother said is right, I wrongly blamed you.
, since you contributed the map, you deserve our protection."
"Thank you, senior!" Zhuo Wen cupped his hand and said with a smile.
Seeing that the old man was about to take Zhuo Wen in, the unruly girl was a little anxious. When she was about to speak out to object again, she was glared at by the old man and did not dare to speak. She had to give Zhuo Wen a hard look and stomped to the side.
"We will camp here tonight and rest for the night. Let's set off tomorrow!" The old man glanced at the dark night and waved his hand.
The few people didn't have any objections to this, and they all started to pack their bags and set up camp.
Zhuo Wen was not afraid of strangers at all. He leisurely packed his bags, set up the tent, and then sat in front of the campfire as if nothing had happened, warming his hands and feet in silence.
After packing up the tent, the rest of the people gathered around the campfire and warmed themselves up. The night in the Annihilation Forest was extremely cold. Even though everyone present was a warrior with a strong level of cultivation, it was still difficult to resist the severe cold in the Annihilation Forest.
.
After all, this severe cold is not an ordinary cold air, but a powerful cold current coming from the eyes of the evil spirits deep in the Annihilation Forest. This cold current is not easy for ordinary warriors to resist.
"Little brother, you dare to enter the Annihilation Forest at a young age. It shows that you are very courageous. Let's have a drink!" The old man laughed and patted Zhuo Wen on the shoulder, then took out a can of wine, filled a cup and handed it to Zhuo Wen.
"What kind of courage do you have? Entering the Annihilation Forest with such a low level of cultivation is simply stupid. You are just stupid, but now you are hurting us." The unruly girl sitting at the other end of the bonfire gave Zhuo Wen a cold look.
Hummed.
"Xiayu! Now my little brother is also a member of our team, can you stop being willful?" The old man frowned slightly and said in a low voice.
"Okay, okay! That's all I won't say. Really, he is obviously a waste, why are you so polite to him?" The unruly girl muttered a few times, then tilted her head and stopped talking.
The old man looked at the girl helplessly, and said to Zhuo Wen with a slight sigh: "Don't take it to heart, little brother. Xiayu is still young, so her words will inevitably be a bit harsh. I hope you don't mind."
Zhuo Wen smiled slightly and shook his head. Naturally, he would not care about anything with that unruly girl.
As time went by, Zhuo Wen chatted happily with the old man. Occasionally, the young man and the oldest woman, who often had a slight smile on his lips, would interject a few words, which was quite warm for a while.
And because the unruly girl was angry, she didn't say a word during the whole process, but kept staring at Zhuo Wen fiercely, as if she wanted to eat Zhuo Wen.
The other person who has not spoken yet is the girl in the red dress who rescued Zhuo Wen. Perhaps due to her personality, the girl in the red dress looked cold and cold, with a feeling that she was thousands of miles away.
After this conversation, Zhuo Wen also learned about the origin of this team. It turned out that these five people were from the Lin family in the capital.
The distribution of forces in the county capital is complicated. Among them, the three princes of the county capital are the three most powerful forces. Under these three forces are Yujianmen and Jade Girl Star Garden. Apart from these five most powerful forces, the remaining ones are the county.
They are all the power of the five major families.
Although the power of the five major families is not as strong as that of the three princes of the county, Yujianmen and Jade Girl Star Garden, it is much stronger than other forces. It is recognized as the most powerful force besides the above five major families.
The Lin family is one of the five major families in the county and can be considered a quite powerful force.
The three girls in the team with quite similar faces are the masters of the younger generation of the Lin family, and they are also sisters.
The oldest woman, named Lin Meiyu, is the eldest sister of the three girls. She has a stable personality and is quite organized in her work. Her strength is also considered good, and her cultivation has reached the level of a human king.
The ice-cold girl named Lin Chaiyu is the second sister. She is taciturn and indifferent on the outside, but inside she is jealous of evil. She most dislikes the bullying of men and women happening in front of her. This is why when Zhuo Wen was robbed,
This woman will suddenly appear and 'save' Zhuo Wen.
The unruly girl is undoubtedly the youngest of the three sisters. She has a lively personality, but she speaks very harshly and is also a bit unruly. From her performance just now, we can see her personality characteristics, and her cultivation has reached the Yang level.
In fact, the fifth level realm is the bottom among the five people.
The old man's name is Lin Xuanzhong. He is the bodyguard sent by the Lin family to protect several people this time. He is also the senior of the three.
The young man with a slight smile on his face seemed to be a cousin of the three sisters of the Lin family, named Lin Zechang, and he took the initiative to follow the four of them to the ancient cave.
However, Zhuo Wen always felt that there was something strange about Lin Zechang, who always had a slight smile on his face. Although he didn't know why Lin Zechang gave him this feeling, Zhuo Wen still paid more attention to him.
In this fight for the Ancient Cave Mansion, several members of the Lin family know that the real benefits should be divided among the five major forces: the Three Marquises of the County, the Yujian Sect and the Jade Girl Star Garden, and the Lin family may have no choice but to follow behind and drink the soup.
share.
However, they also know that even if only the five major forces pick out the remaining treasures, it will be a considerable gain for them.
After some conversation, Zhuo Wen has initially integrated into the team. Although the other people are still a little wary of Zhuo Wen, they no longer have the feeling of alienation that they felt at first.
As night gradually fell, several people entered their tents to rest...
As the morning light gradually began to fall on the next day, the Annihilation Forest finally became lively again. Many teams got up early, packed their bags, and headed straight towards the direction of the Heavenly Evil Eye.
When Zhuo Wen opened the tent, he saw Lin Xuanzhong and the other five people starting to pack their bags. Naturally, Zhuo Wen would not stay in bed anymore and got up to pack his bags.
"When we go into the depths later, please don't hold us back! Otherwise, if you are in danger, I will not go up to rescue you." Lin Xiayu walked over slowly and gave Zhuo Wen a fierce look.
, said coquettishly.
"Don't worry! If you are really in danger, I won't trouble you." In response, Zhuo Wen continued to pack his bags and ignored the angry girl on the side.
"Hmph! I hope that's true of you." Lin Xiayu snorted coldly, then turned and left.
After packing his bags, Lin Xuan glanced at Zhuo Wen again, then led the team towards the shortcut marked on the map.
According to the normal itinerary, it will take at least three days to reach the Tiansha Mingyan. However, if you follow the shortcut route marked on the map, you may be able to successfully reach the Tiansha Mingyan before sunset, which will undoubtedly save money.
It took everyone a lot of time.
After entering the shortcut, Zhuo Wen and his party encountered fewer and fewer teams. Obviously, there were not many teams who knew this shortcut.
Along the way, Zhuo Wen deliberately stayed at the back, secretly using his mental power to silently observe the movements around him. Although there were warriors like Lin Xuanzhong in this team who were at the Human King Realm, the chance of encountering a strong enemy was low.
, but Zhuo Wen still did not relax his vigilance.
Zhuo Wen's backward behavior did not arouse the suspicion of many people. They just thought that Zhuo Wen was too weak to keep up with their pace and fell behind.
Of course, Zhuo Wen's backward behavior naturally made Lin Xiayu, who had always been dissatisfied with him, murmur, and what he said was naturally not a good thing.
"Huh?" Zhuo Wen, who had just released his spiritual power, suddenly let out a soft sigh, and then his eyes suddenly focused on Lin Zechang in front of him, staring at him.
