Deep in the Forest
No matter what Emperor Sun Yan thinks.
Anyway, I'm not in the mood to continue writing this crap today.
A gust of wind blew through the imperial study, and a man walked out slowly from the shadows.
He was wearing black clothes, had a handsome face and cold eyes.
Just standing there, he gave people a sense of oppression.
"Your Majesty, you are so worried. Are you afraid that someone might be connected to that unknown hermit?" The man said in a cold voice, "I am willing to go to Kuyun Province to investigate."
His tone was respectful.
Sun Flame Emperor raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Yanren, as the leader of the secret guards, do you think you can do it?"
"I dare not speak nonsense."
The man called Flame Blade lowered his head to show his humility.
But Emperor Ri Yan knew that this was not modesty but the truth. He did a very good job. Although he had only the tenth level of the fusion stage, in terms of trust, Emperor Ri Yan trusted him more than his younger brother, King Yan Xuan.
"Then go ahead. Be careful to only investigate and don't do anything that might cause...malice."
"yes."
Yan Ren agreed, turned around and retreated, and soon disappeared.
Emperor Ri Yan sat back in his chair, staring into the distance without moving his eyes away for a long time.
…
The Yunling Forest is huge.
This time, Gu Heng deliberately did not use his speed boots to travel, but just walked slowly on his own two legs, looking at the surrounding scenery along the way. Although it cannot be said that he was particularly leisurely and comfortable, it did make him feel better.
And the forests and jade mountains are not too far away.
But this is still a highway, so there are basically no signs of wild beasts.
When Gu Heng was about to enter the outskirts of Yunling Forest, he found that there should have been many villagers and hunters who made a living by hunting, but now there was no shadow of a single person. However, there was still an old hunter who looked quite old but was hurrying back.
"Old man, it's not even night yet, aren't you guys going hunting?"
Gu Heng walked forward, stopped the old hunter and asked.
"well..."
The old hunter sighed.
"We want to hunt, but... this forest is too dangerous now! Look at these days... those monsters have come out and bit people to death!"
He pointed to a fallen tree trunk not far away. The trunk had been eaten so much that sharp teeth were exposed at the broken ends.
"I don't know what's wrong with those beasts in this forest. Little brother, be careful and don't go too deep, otherwise..."
After saying this, the old hunter hurried back, fearing that if he was a little slow, the monster would suddenly rush out.
Gu Heng was silent.
Monsters causing trouble?
The Yunling Forest is very dangerous, but he came here just to hunt, so the old hunter's words naturally did not dissuade Gu Heng from moving forward.
But Gu Heng also became more cautious.Never go too deep.
Otherwise, I would attract monsters, and I wouldn't be able to deal with them with just this broken bow and a bunch of broken arrows.
However, Gu Heng brought a lot of medicine, whether it was insect repellent or extremely toxic, in short, it could protect himself. In addition, he was not completely powerless, so Gu Heng was quite confident when he entered the forest this time.
He is not fast.
Gu Heng relaxed his brows and sniffed the natural scent in the forest. The environment here can be said to be an unpolluted oasis.
The vegetation is lush and the ancient trees are towering.
The trunks of many large trees have become so thick that they can be hugged by several people.
Gu Heng walked in the woods, drawing his arrows and bow, his steps becoming steady, and he remained alert at all times. He observed his surroundings, and occasionally when he came across some beautiful flowers and plants, he would collect some and bring them back to the clinic as potted plants.
However, he did not encounter any beast.
Whether it was a demon beast or an ordinary wild beast, they were all gone.
This doesn't match what the old hunter said at all... He said that the monsters in the Yunling Forest have started to cause trouble and even ran to the outskirts. But now, let alone monsters, there is not a single wild animal.
However, Gu Heng did not think much about it. He just thought that the man was old and might have been frightened and his thoughts were not very clear.
They walked like this for two hours.
It was already night.
…
Deep in the Yunling Forest.
In the vast underground palace deep in a solitary mountain surrounded by forests.
In the darkness, three animal shadows were sitting cross-legged.
A big green turtle, a white bear, and an earth-colored python.
The Yunling Forest is huge.
As one of the few large and dangerous places for monsters and demons within the territory of the Riyan Dynasty, the soil and water in the Yunling Forest are also very suitable for the breeding of monsters and demons, and a total of four monster kings have been bred!
The strongest among them, the Xuan Gu Demon King, has the cultivation level of the third level of tribulation!
However, only the Black Falcon Demon King, the White Bear Demon King and the Earth Python Demon King are known to humans. Almost no one in the outside world knows about the existence of the Xuan Gu Demon King, mainly because it is more capable of hiding. After all, the original form of the Xuan Gu Demon King is a green turtle.
Its cultivation was all achieved by surviving.
Moreover, the Xuan Gu Demon King only hid in a small cave by a pond in the deepest part of the Yunling Forest. He had never left and had never hunted any weak demon beasts.
So it's mysterious.
However, no matter how mysterious it is, it cannot be hidden from the demon clan.
There is also a figure standing in the middle of the palace.
He looks like a human, but has some demon features on his face. He is a demon in human form. The aura he exudes invisibly deepens the coldness in the palace.
"...Special Envoy Su Luo and the monster king of Yunling Forest are all here now."
Xuan Gu Demon King said.
"Now, can you tell me why you came here?"
