Chapter 1787 - 1788: Entering the Misty Forest
Lin Chen looked at the Misty Forest, feeling a bit hesitant in his heart.
The two Demon Lords just mentioned that Shangguan Wan'er and the others had entered the Misty Forest.
If that's the case, they are in danger.
But now Lin Chen encountered a problem.
Lin Chen had not seen Shangguan Wan'er and the others enter the Misty Forest, so this could very well be a trap.
If it's a trap, entering would mean falling into their scheme.
Yet if he doesn't go, what if Shangguan Wan'er encounters danger?
Feng Jiu and Li Feng looked at Lin Chen and laughed, "Don't worry, Li Feng. If you enter the Misty Forest, we will go in with you."
Li Feng looked at the two, feeling a wave of gratitude in his heart.
This is what brotherhood really means.
Li Feng shook his head and said, "No, I appreciate your intentions, but you heard earlier, entering the Misty Forest means certain death. I can't let my brothers go in with me and risk dying."
Feng Jiu laughed heartily, "Li Feng, you underestimate me, Feng Jiu. What does life and death matter? If it weren't for you, I'd have died long ago."
Li Feng also smiled lightly, "They say wealth is sought in danger. Apparently, although the Misty Forest is perilous, there are many benefits inside. Whether true or not, why don't we team up and seek treasure?"
Hearing the words of the two, Li Feng took a deep breath.
Li Feng had a feeling that the chances of Shangguan Wan'er and the others entering the Misty Forest were high.
Because he had already probed the surroundings and found no trace of them.
So there was only one possibility, they entered the Misty Forest for some reason.
Clenching his teeth, Li Feng finally made a decision.
"Let's explore the Misty Forest then."
With that, Li Feng strode forward.
As they entered the Misty Forest, Lin Chen immediately felt the mist thickening around.
The reason the Misty Forest is terrifying is its unpredictability.
The three maintained a half-meter distance, and their thoughts remained connected.
They had tested it; if the distance exceeded one meter, they would lose contact with each other's Divine Sense.
"Awroo awroo awroo!"
From time to time, the calls of magical beasts echoed through the mist.
Lin Chen attempted to use Tianyan Divine Eyes to observe but found he could only sense within a five-meter range even with Tianyan activated.
What worried Lin Chen more was the occasional sound of screams from ahead.
Lin Chen's heart tightened; if Shangguan Wan'er and the others entered here, it would be exceedingly dangerous!
The three cautiously moved forward, all reining in their auras to avoid attracting magical beasts.
The mist was so terrifying; who knew if a beast might suddenly emerge from it and devour them?
"Xiao Shuai, do you have any way to locate?" Lin Chen asked.
"Master, the mysterious Formation here interferes, I can't locate them."
Damn, how can such a terrifying place exist in this world?
Lin Chen cursed inwardly, sensing a foreboding feeling. If the disciples from Jade Maiden Peak entered here, their fate seemed grim.
The three cautiously proceeded, faced with unknown dangers which were the most terrifying.
Along the way, Lin Chen and the others encountered attacks from some low-level magical beasts. But facing the three of them, for those small beasts, appearing meant little more than courting death.
"Lin Chen, how about we fly into the air for a look?" Feng Jiu suddenly proposed.
"Hmm, we can try." Lin Chen nodded.
The three flew into the air, but they soon realized danger also lurked in the sky.
The danger above came from certain aerial magical beasts.
These beasts had long adapted to life in the mist, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.
Just then, Lin Chen felt a cold wind behind him.
His body turned, and a sharp beak narrowly grazed him.
And as Lin Chen maneuvered, he ended up mounting that beast.
The magical beast, suddenly ridden, went wild, but Lin Chen clung tightly to its mane, avoiding getting thrown off.
Lin Chen's eyes lit up as he shouted to Feng Jiu and Li Feng, "Find a way to control a beast, then we can move swiftly."
Before long, Feng Jiu and Li Feng each controlled a beast.
Riding on the magical beasts, the three flew through the sky.
These beasts were dominant in the air, so no other creature dared provoke them.
The three rode their mounts for approximately a day and a night when Lin Chen suddenly sensed two familiar presences.
"It's the two Demon Lords who just escaped." Lin Chen felt a burst of joy.
With no news of Shangguan Wan'er and the others, the best approach was to capture a Demon Lord for interrogation.
Lin Chen and the others quickly surrounded the two Demon Lords from three sides.
The Three-eyed Demon Lord sensed danger, his face changed abruptly.
"Be careful, there's an enemy." The Three-God Demon Lord cautioned the Bear-headed Demon Venerable beside him.
But it was too late; Lin Chen had already reached a distance for attacking.
Boom!
Lin Chen's fist shot forward, crashing heavily into the Three-eyed Demon Lord's right shoulder.
The Three-eyed Demon Lord was hit and flew back.
Simultaneously, Feng Jiu and Li Feng engaged the Bear-headed Demon Venerable.
The Three-eyed Demon Lord slammed into a rock behind.
He scrambled up, ready to flee.
Suddenly, his expression changed, crossing his arms before his chest.
Pow!
With a muffled sound, Lin Chen's fist landed again on the Three-eyed Demon Lord's arm.
With Tianyan Divine Eyes, Li Feng could see up to five meters around him, which was enough.
After consecutive attacks, the Three-eyed Demon Lord's face looked extremely grim.
His three eyes darted around, but the mist was too thick to see his surroundings clearly.
At that moment, Lin Chen's wrist suddenly turned, and he grabbed the Three-eyed Demon Lord's neck.
The Three-eyed Demon Lord struggled desperately, trying to break free from Li Feng's grasp.
However, Li Feng wouldn't give him a chance.
"Capture! Spirit!"
A strand of Divine Sense entered the Three-eyed Demon Lord's consciousness.
Lin Chen was about to control the Three-eyed Demon Lord when a sudden change occurred.
The Three-eyed Demon Lord's body suddenly swelled up like a balloon.
"Damn it!"
Lin Chen's face changed drastically, quickly releasing the Three-eyed Demon Lord and retreating.
Boom!
Amidst thunderous explosions, the Demon Lord self-destructed.
Almost simultaneously, under Feng Jiu and Li Feng's pressing, another Bear-headed Demon Venerable also chose self-destruction.
"Damn it!"
Lin Chen was speechless; the hard-found clue had suddenly hit a dead end.
These Demon Lords seemed to have a kind of restriction within them, activating to self-destruct if they were controlled.
The enemy's tactics were so ruthless; it seemed to them the secret they guarded was more important than life.
"Cursed!" Lin Chen was speechless. Just what secret did the enemy protect so fiercely to choose self-destruction?
