1374: C1374 Leave the Dark Forest

C1374 Leave the Dark Forest

Chen Yan naturally heard the sarcasm in Wang Xiao's words, and her face couldn't help but reveal an angry expression.

However, Lee Guang, who was standing at the side, was much more mature. He could see the youth in front of him. Although he did not have any inner energy, he did not have the aura of an Awakened. However, being able to cut off the Dark Night Demon Cat's head with a single slash, he was definitely a dangerous person. Unless absolutely necessary, he must not be offended.

In addition, they were all seriously injured. Apart from Chen Yan who still had the ability to fight, the rest of them had no ability to fight at all.

When he thought of this, Lee Guang waved his hand to stop Chen Yan. He cupped his hands towards Wang Xiao and said, "This big brother, although it was Younger Sister Chen Yan who suggested this trip, it was also us who agreed to it. But now, this is no longer a problem."

"All of us are seriously injured. Sister Chen Yan is the only one who can fight. With our current ability, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the Gloomy Forest. I wonder if you can lend us a hand and escort us out of the Gloomy Forest."

Lee Guang's attitude was very sincere. His tone was filled with a pleading tone. Although he liked Chen Yan, he valued his own life more.

After this incident, Lee Guang also realized that he was not strong enough. In the future, if he did not have his teacher's cooperation or full confidence, he would not casually enter the forest in the outskirts of the city.

But before that, he had to leave this dark forest alive first.

"Why should I help you?" When Wang Xiao heard this, his expression was indifferent, and his tone was calm as he replied with a question.

"Thank you, big brother, for your help..." Lee Guang thought that his attitude was sincere, and there were rules in the Awakened Guild as well. If he were to meet an Awakened who had met with misfortune in the forest outside the city... Wang Xiao would do his best to help them, and he would agree to send them out of the Gloomy Forest. However, he did not expect Wang Xiao to refuse.

Lee Guang was slightly stunned for a moment, then said with some hesitation, "Isn't it natural for Awakened ones to help each other?"

"Do you think I look like an Awakened?" Wang Xiao asked back.

Lee Guang was stunned when he heard that. The Wang Xiao in front of him did not seem like an Awakened.

The rules of the Awakened Guild did not have any effect on him.

"Hmph, if you don't want to help, then don't. We can also walk out by ourselves. Lee Guang, let's ignore him. Let's go."

Chen Yan, who was standing aside, glared at Wang Xiao and turned her head to advise Lee Guang.

"That's right. This place isn't far from Stone City. We should be careful. We might be able to get out." Situ Lai agreed. He was Chen Yan's loyal suitor. Whatever Chen Yan said, he felt that it was right.

Liu Qingshan, on the other hand, didn't say anything. He just looked at Lee Guang silently.

Lee Guang also acted as if he did not hear Chen Yan's words. He looked straight at Wang Xiao and said, "I don't know what we should do to make you willing to escort us out of the Gloomy Forest, or do you want to name a price?"

"Yes, I like talking to people like you."

Hearing Lee Guang's last sentence, Wang Xiao's eyes lit up and he laughed.

"How many Black Martial Stones do you have?"

Lee Guang turned his head and looked at Situ Lai and the others, signaling them to take out all the Black Martial Stone they had. They looked at each other. They all took out their Universe Bag.

"We have a total of 1,080 Black Martial Stone on us." After they gathered together, Lee Guang turned to look at Wang Xiao and said.

"That's all?" When Wang Xiao heard this, his brows slightly raised, and his expression showed some disdain. He said, "Forget it. Since it's on the way, I'll escort you guys along the way."

Finished talking? Wang Xiao stretched out his hand and took the Universe Bag from Lee Guang's hand. He put all the Black Martial Stone in it into his Universe Ring, then threw the Universe Bag back to Lee Guang.

At this moment, everyone finally noticed the Universe Ring in Wang Xiao's hand. All of them widened their eyes, and their eyes were filled with shock.

This Universe Ring was not something that anyone in the Spiritual Energy Recovery Era could possess. Currently, the value of the Universe Ring on the market was around five thousand Black Martial Stone.

This young man in front of them actually possessed a Universe Ring? ...? His background was definitely not small.

However, Lee Guang and the others were all very smart and did not open their mouths to ask questions. After resting for a while, the group set off and prepared to leave the Gloomy Forest.

On the way to the Stone City, Wang Xiao and the others did not walk smoothly. They encountered more than a batch of mutated animals and plants along the way.1

The most dangerous time was not when they encountered the overlord of the Gloomy Forest, the Dark Night Demon Cat. Instead, they encountered a very strange and bewitching blood-sucking vine that came and went without a trace. After traversing through the underground and smelling the blood on Wang Xiao and the others, it attacked.

Countless blood-sucking vines shot out from underground like sharp thorns, attacking Wang Xiao and the others. Other than Wang Xiao, no one else reacted. They were quickly tied up by these blood-sucking vines and dragged into the ground.

Luckily, Wang Xiao reacted quickly. After using the Profound Snake Sword to cut off the blood-sucking vines in front of them, he rushed towards Lee Guang and the others. A few sword lights flashed past, and the blood-sucking vines on their feet were quickly cut off. Only then did Lee Guang and the others regain their lives.

But even so...? Their faces had already turned snow white. It turned out that when the blood-sucking vines wrapped around their legs, they were rapidly absorbing the blood in their bodies.

If Wang Xiao was any slower, Lee Guang and the others would have been sucked dry of their blood essence by the blood-sucking vines.

The blood-sucking vines were cut off, and the roots that were connected to the ground became violent. They quickly extended and grabbed at Wang Xiao and the others.

But this time, Lee Guang and the other three had already made their preparations. They all used their awakened abilities, as well as Chen Yan's ice-type abilities to feign attacks. The blood-sucking vines were quickly beaten back. Finally, they retreated back into the ground.

"These Blood-Sucking Vines have very tenacious vitality. They are only retreating temporarily. When they regroup, we will still be in danger. We need to increase our speed and leave this area."

Wang Xiao frowned and said to Lee Guang and the others.

Lee Guang, Situ Lai, Liu Qingshan, and Chen Yan all knew how terrifying these blood-sucking vines were. They all nodded and said, "En, we really have to leave as soon as possible."

The few of them discussed and rushed to the outside of the Gloomy Forest without stopping.

After walking for about a day, they finally saw the outer perimeter of the Gloomy Forest. Their faces couldn't help but reveal happy expressions.

A few young men appeared at the entrance of the Stone City. A few Ancient Martial Cultivators who were guarding the gate saw these young men and saw that they were coming from the direction of the Gloomy Forest. A strange expression appeared on their faces, but no one came up to ask anything.

"Brother Wang Xiao, we are going to the Awakened Guild to complete our mission. Where are you going?"

Lee Guang looked at Wang Xiao and asked with a serious expression.

After two days of contact, Lee Guang and the others knew that Wang Xiao was a man with a sharp tongue. Wang Xiao had given them the sharp claws of the Dark Night Demon Cat when they were about to leave Gloomy Forest, so that they could complete the mission of hunting the Dark Night Demon Cat.

Even the tsundere Chen Yan looked at Wang Xiao with a reluctant expression.
