C1000 Soul Devouring Forest
Nangong Jueying looked at Zhao Jinbao with slight rebuke: "What's wrong with you, you suddenly became so angry just now, it was only a hairpin, there's no need to get angry at an ordinary person."
"The anger of a hero is a beauty after all. Furthermore, the low regard he has towards others should have changed."
"All he does is put gold on his face. He's a hero, a bear is more like it."
Zhao Jinbao suddenly turned cold: "Then forget it, give this hairpin to Little Ling'er."
"How dare you!"
Nangong Jueying bellowed angrily, then his expression suddenly slowed down: "Of course I do, how would I dare! Come, let me put it on for you."
As Zhao Jinbao said that, he personally placed the hairpin into Nangong Jueying's hair bun, and the feelings between the two unknowingly rose up.
There were a lot of things that he had not bought in the day, so Zhao Jinbao had specially come out at night to buy some more. Besides seasoning, there were also tents, tableware, and a series of other things.
Nangong Jueying and Lu Ling'er normally did not go out of the door, so they did not know what the use of it was, but Zhao Jinbao knew in his heart that they were riding on ordinary horses. Even though they could travel a thousand miles in a day, their Eastern Emperor Continent was vast.
During this period of time, they might need to travel day and night, but even if they had cultivation base, they still needed to rest from time to time, and they also needed to eat. It was more important to open fire and cook.
Furthermore, when it came to cooking, Zhao Jinbao was very confident in his culinary skills.
That night, they strolled around very late to eat snacks and put on the river lamps, having a great time.
As for the other three, the typical cultivation maniacs were still cultivating in their own rooms.
The next morning, they continued on their journey. Nothing else was different except for the hairpin that had appeared on Nangong Jueying's head.
"It should be the Soul Devouring Forest up ahead. I heard that this place is rather dangerous, we should be careful when we enter it. We should be careful when we sail a ship for ten thousand years."
Feng Yao looked at the map in his hands and spoke to the others.
Zhao Jinbao helplessly looked at the weather, he did not expect that it was already cloudy, and today was only the first day of travel. They had not even walked out of the area covered by Four Symbols Sect.
It was going to rain soon so it was no longer suitable to continue on the journey. He could only stay here.
Zhao Jinbao nodded his head: "Let's set up the tent, I will go to make a stable, Jue Ying, you and Ling'er will go gather some firewood."
"master Lu Huan, you and Lady Lu Xuan will go hunt and find some game for us. master Feng Yao, you will build a wall around us so that our encampment will be inside.
It might not rain for a few days, but it was fortunate that they were fully equipped. If they wanted to go to the Capital, they would have to rely on a few horses, so Zhao Jinbao bought some beast skins to protect himself from the rain.
On the other hand, the shield in Feng Yao's hand was a Spiritual Treasure that had grasped the veins of the earth, and could control earth attributed spirit energy. Feng Yao used the shield in his hand to construct four walls, and closed them up.
It covered an area of about 200 square meters. There were six tents and six horses surrounded in the middle. They started a bonfire here, barbecued meat, water and rice wine, all brought by Zhao Jinbao.
Nangong Jueying sat there and gracefully ate the chicken, then said to Zhao Jinbao: "When can we leave from here, do you want to consider taking a detour?"
Zhao Jinbao shook his head: "We can't take a detour, I've looked around, this Soul Devouring Forest has a radius of hundreds of miles, if we take a detour, I'm afraid we'll need to walk for another two days. We'll have to wait for the rain to stop, we'll continue our journey through the forest."
They did not reject Zhao Jinbao, because that was indeed the case, as long as they took a detour, they would need three whole days. If they met with danger during this period of time, it would take them as long as they could, and since they were already at the level of Human Immortal Stage, there would not be much trouble if they left this place.
"What exactly is going on with this Soul Devouring Forest? I've never heard of it before."
Lu Xuan sat there and started poking at the fish soup in the pot with the spoon in her hand.
"It has existed for more than 20 years. I passed by this place when I was brought here by the Sect Leader. It is said that there is a soul devouring monster here. At that time we flew directly from above, but now we have a horse so we can't leave."
That's right, it was more like taking people flying. Who would have heard of taking Ma Fei? Furthermore, they had to fly for thousands of miles. That was impossible.
Fortunately, the rain had already stopped by the morning of the second day. Zhao Jinbao did not sleep soundly during the night, because he had to pay attention to his surroundings from time to time, afraid that something bad might happen to the place.2
In the morning of the second day, the few of them continued with their journey. Zhao Jinbao, with the Fangtian Halberd on his back, walked at the front.
This forest was indeed not safe. They had only walked a few dozen miles into the forest when they felt their hearts palpitate. Immediately afterwards, a large number of wild beasts began to run out.
They were going into the forest, and coincidentally ran into a group of things. Initially, they were only deer, and there were also birds and such things.
But when he continued to look, Zhao Jinbao realized that something was wrong. There were actually tigers behind them, and pack of wolves were running out from it, as if they were still tired of running for their lives.
Seeing this scene, all of them felt a chill in their hearts. If there wasn't a cultivator hunting, then it was likely that there was something even more terrifying hunting here.
Just as expected, Zhao Jinbao suddenly heard a roar, and a few wolves behind him actually vomited blood and died on the ground.
Immediately after, Zhao Jinbao felt the horse beneath him suddenly become weak, and actually lie on the ground, terrified to death.
Zhao Jinbao frowned as he jumped down from the horse's back.
Following which, something the size of an ordinary wolf came out of the jungle. However, this wild beast was not a wolf. It had the body of a sheep, the face of a man, and the eyes of a human.
This was actually a Tao Tieh. When Zhao Jinbao first read it, he especially liked to read it in the Mountain Sea Scripture.
Legend has it that Tao Tieh especially liked to eat people's souls, because this thing was gluttonous. When Zhao Jinbao saw this thing, his heart immediately turned cold, Lu Xuan and the others only had Spirit Beast s, they couldn't borrow the entire strength of the Spirit Beast, but this guy was different. He was a real ferocious beast, and really knew how to eat people's souls.
