Chapter 103 - 101 Bai Tianhang’s Invitation
After dealing with Sa Re, Lu Hong felt refreshed as if he had just finished a dungeon and defeated a boss. Although he hadn’t obtained any cool equipment, having traveled through the border forest, Lu Hong was already very clear about his location. Since this place resembled a dungeon in the game, it was very likely to contain a powerful item that Lu Hong was aware of—the Eye of the Demon Ancestor.
After the Second Transition, Lu Hong was able to use magic items, so he was very interested in such powerful items. In a past game, a thief had used this mighty item to kill players of higher levels almost effortlessly, and even Lu Hong had been tricked by this "godly" item before.
Lu Hong thought it over briefly. Since he had already lost touch with Luo Yi Si and Luo Bolun still harbored murderous intentions toward him, it would be better to go somewhere else first. Since Luo Yi Si dared to return to the wilderness plane, she must have had means to secure her own safety, so there was no need to worry about her for the time being.
After making up his mind, Lu Hong continued deeper into the border forest, planning to cross straight through it to reach the Demon City territory.
With Sa Re’s death, the large number of soldiers who hadn’t been killed by Lu Hong were confused without instructions from their superiors. And Lu Hong decided not to target them anymore. The purpose of killing Sa Re’s subordinates was to reduce their numbers; after all, if there were too many soldiers around Sa Re, it would have been difficult for Lu Hong to break through their lines to kill Sa Re, and he would eventually get tired from slashing.
Enhanced in physical abilities, Lu Hong sped through the forest like lightning, darting around so fast that the demon beasts only felt a gust of wind blow past. When they looked around, they spotted no trace. Just when they lowered their guard, a streak of red light flashed by, and the demon beast’s head was separated from its body.
It was better to kill any passing demon beasts, as they were all experience points, which Lu Hong needed to level up, especially since after each promotion, the required experience was almost three times more than before.
"I really don’t know when the next upgrade will be," Lu Hong muttered. After three days and nights of non-stop travel, he finally reached the other side of the border forest, the outskirts of the Demon City.
Like the human Red Kingdom, there were no defenses at the border of the Demon City. It seemed that neither side was worried about surprise attacks from the forest, suggesting that some kind of agreement had been reached.
Having smoothly crossed the Demon City border, Lu Hong followed his memories of the game dungeons and easily arrived at a city within the Demon City territory—Evil City.
