Unrivaled Soldier in the City

"Demons Forest? What does that mean?"

Lin Kuang asked with some confusion.

"What does it mean? This is one of the three forbidden areas of the Xuanwu Continent, known as the Demons Forest, where countless powerful individuals have perished. Those at the Innate Stage have no right to enter here; their outcome is almost certain death!

I’ve read records in ancient tomes about this place—ferocious monster beasts run rampant, countless in number, each incredibly powerful.

That’s not all; the ’demon’ character in Demons Forest indicates there’s something very demonic about this place.

We might encounter something unpredictable at any moment, like moving forests or man-eating swamps.

In short, this is a forbidden land on the Xuanwu Continent. Only those with sky-reaching skills would dare to enter here.

People at our level coming here only face death!"

The Nameless Elder spoke with a grim expression, his gaze full of intense unease.

The more one understands the Demons Forest, the more terrifying it becomes.

The Nameless Elder knew something about this place, which made him even more uneasy.

As for Lin Kuang, he also looked solemn, but he didn’t seem to feel anything significant.

After all, this was Lin Kuang’s first time here. As the saying goes, the ignorant fear nothing, and it seemed to apply perfectly to Lin Kuang.

"So how do we get out?"

Looking at the Nameless Elder beside him, Lin Kuang asked with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, the Nameless Elder was slightly taken aback, his mouth full of bitterness.

"Get out? It’s very, very difficult to get out. Judging by the strength of the monster we encountered earlier, we’re definitely not on the outskirts of the Demons Forest now!

If we were at the edge of the Demons Forest, we might be able to get out.

But this isn’t the case; we’re already quite deep, and getting out is not just difficult—it’s as challenging as reaching the heavens!"

The Nameless Elder spoke with extreme bitterness; if he’d known they would be transported to the Demons Forest, he wouldn’t have come here no matter what.

Now it was over; he couldn’t leave even if he wanted to.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded. Although his heart was heavy, he didn’t think much of it. Just because others couldn’t get out doesn’t mean he couldn’t.

Besides, Lin Kuang had the Blue Sea Bracelet, and the Dragon God had once said that regardless of the danger faced, the Blue Sea Bracelet could teleport Lin Kuang once to a safe place.

So Lin Kuang was still quite confident.

If he encountered an unsolvable crisis, he could just use the Blue Sea Bracelet once.

No matter what, since he was already here, Lin Kuang didn’t plan to leave so soon; at the very least, he wanted to see the Xuanwu Continent.

Looking at the Nameless Elder next to him, Lin Kuang clearly felt the elder’s fear.

"Senior, if you want to leave, here’s some Profound Crystal for you. You can leave; I plan to try and explore a bit."

Lin Kuang said, and sixteen pieces of top-grade Profound Crystal appeared in his hand.

Seeing the sixteen pieces of top-grade Profound Crystal in Lin Kuang’s hand, the Nameless Elder was dumbfounded.

Previously, he thought Lin Kuang had some Profound Crystal, but only a few pieces at most. He never imagined that Lin Kuang would take out sixteen pieces of top-grade Profound Crystal all at once!

This was top-grade Profound Crystal! Equivalent to converting into hundreds of thousands, even two hundred thousand, low-grade Profound Crystal—a huge fortune.

But Lin Kuang took it out so casually, which shocked the Nameless Elder immensely.

Previously, the Nameless Elder had worried about not having enough Profound Crystal to leave. Now it seemed they could easily leave here.

After recovering from his shock, the Nameless Elder regained his clarity.

"Lin Kuang, what are you planning to do? Are you not planning to go back?

Let me make it clear, if you don’t leave, you will surely die here, it’s too terrifying here!"

Looking at Lin Kuang, the Nameless Elder seriously admonished.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang smiled, "Senior, don’t worry; I’m not foolish. If I didn’t have a way to ensure my safety, I would leave with you."

Upon hearing this, the Nameless Elder paused, not doubting Lin Kuang, but wondering if his means of survival would indeed be effective against the powerful monster beasts here.

"Lin Kuang, I still want to persuade you to return with me. There’s a great crisis here, terrible danger; staying here is truly perilous."

Looking at Lin Kuang, the Nameless Elder advised again.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang shook his head, "No, I appreciate your concern, senior. But now that I’m here, I don’t plan to leave so soon. I want to look around; otherwise, I won’t be satisfied."

As he spoke, Lin Kuang looked resolutely at the Nameless Elder. He had made his decision; no matter what the Nameless Elder said, Lin Kuang would not leave.

Hearing Lin Kuang’s words and seeing his stubborn demeanor, the Nameless Elder shook his head and sighed. He understood that no matter what he said, Lin Kuang wouldn’t leave.

Though the Nameless Elder wanted to console himself, telling himself Lin Kuang could survive, this was the Demons Forest and deep within it—how could Lin Kuang possibly get out alive!

"Alright, since you’ve decided, I won’t say more.

I just hope you take care of yourself, and if you find it impossible, leave here and return to Earth.

You’re still young; you have plenty of opportunities."

The Nameless Elder spoke seriously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang smiled and nodded, "Don’t worry, senior, I understand.

Take these sixteen pieces of top-grade Profound Crystal; leave eight here, and keep the remaining eight. If you want to come, you can come back anytime."

Upon hearing this, the Nameless Elder nodded and, without being polite, took the sixteen pieces of top-grade Profound Crystal in hand.

"Alright, then I’m leaving. Lin Kuang, take care.

Also, remember not to show these top-grade Profound Crystals easily.

In a place like the Xuanwu Continent, strength reigns supreme, and killings over treasure are countless. Many would rob for wealth and valuables, so you must be careful."

Looking at Lin Kuang, the Nameless Elder said again.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded, "Don’t worry, senior, I understand."

"Good, that’s all I have to say. Everything depends on you; I’m heading back."

The Nameless Elder spoke.

He very much wanted to return home and follow Lin Kuang, but this was certain death. He really didn’t want to die here and could only pray in his heart, hoping Lin Kuang could escape.

"Yes, and senior, please don’t inform my family of the dangers here; it must be kept from them so they won’t worry."

Looking at the Nameless Elder, Lin Kuang said again.

Upon hearing this, the Nameless Elder nodded, "Alright, rest assured, I won’t tell anyone. You, too, be careful!"

As he said this, the Nameless Elder placed seven pieces of top-grade Profound Crystal into the teleportation formation’s slot, and his own piece of middle-grade Profound Crystal as well.

Even doing so, the Nameless Elder felt it was a great waste.

"Lin Kuang, take care!"

The Nameless Elder said again.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang smiled and nodded, "Yes, senior, take care!"

The Nameless Elder nodded, then the teleportation formation glowed, and the Nameless Elder’s figure disappeared.
