After making the next route, Ye Guhsing and the rest did not waste anymore time, and quickly urged their horses to rush into the Mystic Moon Forest.
The road was not long, but it was not short either. From the west side to the east side, it was more than a hundred kilometers, even Ye Guhsing and the rest's mounts were not of ordinary quality.
After passing through a naturally formed giant arch, a large forest that gave off a fresh and distant aura appeared in front of Ye Guhsing and the others.
The whole forest was filled with towering trees that could only be embraced by four or five people. Not only that, even the weeds under the trees were as tall as half a person and extremely dense.
Looking at the scene before his eyes, Ye Guhsing suddenly remembered that back when he was an infant, he was thrown into this Mystic Moon Forest. At that time, the environment was even more terrifying than this place, not only were there many trees, the weeds on the ground were basically as tall as a person. If it wasn't for the fact that there were two masters passing by, Ye Guhsing would probably have already become food for the Vicious Beast by then.
At the thought of this, Ye Guhsing couldn't help but turn his head to look at the group of teammates behind him. The faces of the teammates who were previously full of confidence now more or less revealed a hint of cowardice, because the participants who were able to represent the academy in the Hegemonical Competition this time around were basically all born from large clans.
Their superior family environment made them look like flowers that had never been tested by the torrential rain or the blazing sun while being nurtured in a greenhouse. There was no need for him to enter such a terrifying place like Mystic Moon Forest and obtain rewards through exploration, like the mercenaries at the bottom level. It could be said that other than Murong Qianqian and her companions who had followed Ye Guhsing to train in the Misty Swamp, the rest of them were basically the first ones to enter such a dangerous place.
Seeing the faint fear on everyone's faces, Ye Guhsing immediately frowned. Entering the Mystic Moon Forest in such a state, what difference was there between that and seeking death? Even if he and Uncle Hai could save them once or twice, there would still be times where people would fail. If that rescue trip was not taken in time, they could only leave their lives in the Mystic Moon Forest.
"What are the expressions on your faces? Are you all scared?" Ye Guhsing roared at the people behind him with a gloomy face. You can't even overcome this little bit of fear; when you reach Academy Of Light, you will also be courting death. In that case, it would be better for you all to return to the Cangming Academy as soon as possible, so as to not completely lose face for our Cangming Academy. "
Everyone had guts, especially the group of geniuses standing behind Ye Guhsing. Since childhood, they had all been staring at the halos of geniuses, which made their self-esteem stronger than ordinary people by a lot, thus, after hearing Ye Guhsing's words, almost everyone's faces more or less revealed a little bit of shame.
"Do you think that the experts that made decisions on the road came up here while sitting at home to train? Which one of them didn't have their current strength after countless life and death battles with people and Vicious Beast? I can tell you all directly, as long as you can take this step today, your cultivation path will definitely be smoother in the future. " Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Ye Guhsing did not continue to beat them up, and instead encouraged and enticed them.
The shock, the encouragement, and the temptation. In an instant, the trace of fear on everyone's face disappeared, replaced by shame and anger. Was he really as afraid of death as Captain had said? No, definitely not. I am not afraid of death, and those who are afraid of death cannot become strong. Everyone silently shouted in their hearts.
"Very good. Seeing your expressions, I believe that every single one of you has the heart to become strong. Since that's the case, all of you follow me to challenge this Mystic Moon Forest where everyone's expressions have changed." Ye Guhsing revealed a faint smile, and then shouted to Ziwu Feng and his left hand: "Second Younger Brother, left hand, take out the weapons in your hands and lead the way, cut off all the weeds that are blocking the way."
"Yes, Big Brother!" Ziwu Feng nodded his head vigorously, then jumped down from the Wind Chasing Horse and pulled out a meter long sharp Zhanmadao from the horse's back. After that, he and his left hand started to clean the dense weeds that grew along the way.
Although clearing the weeds along the way greatly reduced the speed of their journey, Ye Guhsing knew clearly that only by clearing the weeds along the way would they be able to minimize the danger. Not only were bloodthirsty Vicious Beast lurking within the tall weeds, there were even traps left behind by mercenaries who had entered the forest to hunt beasts.
These traps were even more terrifying than the Vicious Beast that hid in the shadows. If they were not careful and set out with the traps, the number of people that died would not be one or two. It was possible that the entire team would be destroyed by the terrifying traps that captured the Vicious Beast.
The Mystic Moon Forest consisted of four to five large trees that could only be carried around. Therefore, even if one walked in the day, the light inside was much weaker than outside the forest. Adding to the fact that there was no sunlight throughout the year, the entire forest looked especially eerie.
The only two female members of the group were Murong Qianqian and Jiri Carl. Although the two of them were cultivators and their strengths were not weak compared to ordinary people, especially Murong Qianqian, who had already entered the Innate State, they felt a chill run down their backs as they stood in the dark forest. Naturally, the two of them couldn't help but walk to Ye Guhsing's side and follow Ye Guhsing.
As the sky gradually darkened, the visibility within the Mystic Moon Forest also began to decrease, and the temperature also began to drop.
When he reached a patch of grass that was relatively flat, Ye Guhsing suddenly shouted to the people around him: "Everyone come over and lend a hand. It's getting dark soon, we need to create an empty land to rest for the night."
Hearing Ye Guhsing's words, everyone took out a short blade or a short sword from their own bodies. They all worked together to create a ten square meter open space.
After the clearing was sorted out, Ye Guhsing fiercely jumped onto a big tree and cut down all the dead and dried branches off the tree. Then, he piled up the dried up branches into a huge fire rack and shot out a burst of Innate True Fire from his right hand. In the end, he lit the entire bonfire.
The reason why they needed to light a bonfire was because Ye Guhsing knew that the temperature of the Mystic Moon Forest during the day and night differed greatly. The bonfire pile had the ability to keep the temperature warm, and more importantly, Ye Guhsing knew that normal Vicious Beast would not even dare to approach a bonfire where there was light.
After the huge bonfire was lit, everyone immediately felt that the surroundings were much warmer than before. Hence, everyone sat down and took out the pasta and dried meat from their backpacks and began to eat.
"Xiao Tian, you glutton, come over quickly." They were clear that although these things could fill up their stomachs, the energy contained within them was very little. This was still more than a month away and if they ate these things every day, even if they could make it to the Bulu Stronghold, they would probably all become as thin as monkeys. Therefore, Ye Guhsing shouted to the Xiao Tian that was resting with droopy eyes.
Hearing Ye Guhsing's shouts, the Xiao Tian thought that Ye Guhsing had something good to give it to eat, so it eagerly ran over to Ye Guhsing.
"Go, capture a Vicious Beast in the forest." Ye Guhsing said as he faintly glanced at the Xiao Tian.
Initially, it thought its master had something good to give it, but it didn't know that it wanted it to go and work hard. As a result, the Xiao Tian's tiger face revealed an extremely unwilling expression.
"Why, are you unwilling? "But let me tell you, this time I don't have anything to eat. If you want to eat dinner, you can only grab it yourself." Ye Guhsing said snappily.
"Roar ~ ~" The Xiao Tian roared at Ye Guhsing aggrievedly once again, as if it was telling Ye Guhsing that you only know how to bully me, why didn't you ask Lightning to capture a Vicious Beast?
How could Ye Guhsing not understand the meaning of the Xiao Tian's roar? He then fiercely patted the Xiao Tian's head and scolded loudly: "Not only are you a glutton, you're also a fool. The amount of lightning it can create is not even enough for you to eat.0
"Roar ~ ~" The Xiao Tian roared happily, and then its body shot out like a black lightning into the dense forest in the distance.
"Haha, everyone, don't eat the hard food in your hands anymore. When the Xiao Tian comes back, I'll let you all have a taste of my level of roasting. If not for playing with you guys, my level of roasting meat would definitely be at the top of the continent. Student Ji Li, your family is a huge merchant guild. If your Karl family can give me an advertisement, I might be able to open a restaurant after the academy's competition. " Right at the moment when the Xiao Tian disappeared, Ye Guhsing smiled towards the people seated around the bonfire.
"Hmph. You boastful fellow. If you don't boast now, will you die?" Murong Qianqian snorted from the side.
"Sigh, Little Girl Murong, what are you snorting for? You're the one who has the least say here, who was it that ate over half a piece of snake meat in the Misty Swamp back then?" Ye Guhsing said provocatively.
Hearing Ye Guhsing's words, Murong Qianqian could not refute it at all. To be honest, Ye Guhsing's barbeque technique was amazing, and was even better than the chefs in her house, back then at Misty Swamp, when Ye Guhsing roasted the Five-step Gold Snake, she had indeed eaten half of it. If not for the embarrassment of asking Ye Guhsing for more, the entire Five-step Gold Snake would probably have been eaten by her alone.
The reason why she had disagreed with Ye Guhsing was because she panicked when she saw Ye Guhsing trying to please her.
Big Brother Ye, later on, little sister will try out your cooking skills. If it's really as good as you said it is, when we return to Star-moon City, I will definitely let Karl Chamber of Commerce properly advertise for you. " Jiri Carl said with a faint smile.
"Hahaha! Good! With what Student Ji Li has said, I am relieved." Ye Guhsing laughed and said.
Xiao Tian was indeed worthy of being the king of the forest, after a quarter of an hour, it came back dragging a wild boar that was as big as a bull.
Seeing the prey that the Xiao Tian dragged back, other than Ye Guhsing and Fann Hai, everyone else revealed expressions of shock. My god, this captain's mount is too ferocious, it has only been a short while, and it already brought back a jungle porcupine. Furthermore, from the porcupine's reminder, its strength is at least that of the Ninth Level Of Acquired Stage's porcupine leader.
"Damn, Xiao Tian, you are really honest. I let you make a bigger Vicious Beast for dinner, what are you making such a big guy for, why aren't you getting an elephant? "This is great, I will definitely tire you out to death." Ye Guhsing said as he looked at the Xiao Tian unhappily.
Roar ~ ~ ~ "the Xiao Tian bellowed in glee, as if he was saying," Master, I did everything according to your instructions, if you want to make a big one, I can make a big one. You know, my appetite is huge, and after rushing for a whole day, I have consumed too much energy, so I have to properly make up for it. " After roaring, the Xiao Tian was still proudly pointing its claws at the body of the jungle porcupine. As for Ye Guhsing, he quickly started to roast the meat, it was already very hungry.
