Arrival, Red Lantern Village. The Unexpected Senior Brother Twist.
Yang Wei soared through the skies atop his dragon sword, traversing the vast Thousand Monsters Forest. His elegant robes billowed in the brisk breeze, causing his snow-white hair to ripple like waves. Squinting ahead, he smiled, "Oh, we're almost at the Red Lantern Village."
The Thousand Monsters Forest is one of those spots that really drives home just how many beasts there are in the Northern Continent. Beasts lurk around every corner, ranging from 3rd level Mortal to 6th level Spirit-Gathering Realm. Basically, it's risky for newbies but a goldmine for Core Formation cultivators hunting for beast cores to flourish their cultivation. If there were 100 people in the forest, you'd have about 300 to 350 beasts eyeing each of them up for dinner.
That's how packed this place is with wildlife.
