Chapter 120 A Big Shot Arrives...

Brett had heard this voice many times before, but he never expected to meet it in this way. The problem was, wasn't that fellow villager trapped in a place he couldn't get out of? Why did he suddenly appear? Where exactly was this place?

While Brett and Li Gou Dan were stunned, Bai Cai was also taken aback. The hazy mist could block the sight of many creatures. Because of the giant crab downstream, almost nothing else dared to come to this river. The reason she dared to bathe here was because it was a place protected by a big tree. These few meters were a life-or-death situation for many creatures here.

Cabbage had tried to escape from here several times, but each time its head was successfully cut off. From level 30 to level 80, it was always instantly killed. It never thought that anyone else would break in here!

"S-Sen...Senpai?"

Li Gou Dan came up with a rather polite way of addressing him.

Bai Cai stood up, her proud figure shrouded in mist. Li Gou Dan felt his blood boil and covered his nose tightly, but blood still kept flowing from his hands.

Bright couldn't even be bothered to look at this shameful mess. Didn't this guy like Wang Ye? And his sexual orientation was normal, so how did he get exposed like this all of a sudden?

To be fair, it is indeed beautiful enough. Bright thinks Wang Gou Dan is a pretty good-looking type, but compared to this model... it's like comparing a Chery QQ to a Gundam.

But perhaps because he was in a soul state, although he was incredibly amazed, he couldn't feel any lustful emotions. This made Bright somewhat wary of his ability. If he used it too much, would he lose his basic human emotions?

"Fellow villager?"

"Hey? It's you!" Bai Cai laughed immediately and walked over casually. "So you're a ghost?"

Bright:

'

"My God, it's actually true..." Bai Cai pinched Li Gou Dan's flushed face, incredibly excited: "It's a real person! Heavens, finally someone can get in!"

"Come on up, come on up, it's very dangerous over there."

Bright was puzzled, while Li Gou Dan was completely bewildered as Bai Cai pulled him ashore. Once ashore, Gou Dan was covered in a green silk-like garment, exquisite and elegant, far more beautiful than the so-called fashionable clothes worn by the noblewomen at the ball Bright had seen at the Igor family's house.

But he was a little puzzled. According to what she said, she had been trapped in this place for many years. Where did she get these clothes? And with such a strong sense of design? The exquisite gemstones adorning the clothes were clearly carved by master craftsmen.

"How did you get in?" Bai Cai asked the question she was most concerned about right away.

"I... just walked in like that." Li Gou Dan finally managed to stop his nosebleed and replied cautiously, "Northwest."

""

Northwest direction? Bai Cai stroked her chin and looked at the river where the crab was hiding. She was right. That road should be the way out of the forest. The obstacle was that big crab.

"When you came, didn't you see anything? Like... crabs or something?"

"No..." Li Gou Dan looked confused.

That's really strange...

Bai Cai looked at the river. Her current level was far beyond what she could have reached back then. At this moment, she could clearly sense that the crab was in the river not far away. But why didn't she attack the two of them?

"Let's put that aside for now. There's something very important that I need your help with," Bright said first.

"Oh?"

Bright explained the situation, and Cabbage quickly understood. She frowned and said, "You mean, that guy called Sweet Rice Dumpling got the enemy faction's artifact? And he's hiding somewhere in the forest, and what if the artifact is found?"

"But I can't get out either, how can I help you?"

Bright thought for a moment and continued, "We have a companion who can share coordinates, but we've been trying to get there using those coordinates, and we just can't seem to close the distance no matter what we do. We even ended up here by accident. Do you know why?"

"Oh... I know that!" Cabbage laughed. "It's the Emerald Mist. It often appears in the forest. Once it appears in a certain place, any magical beast in that place will get lost. I once got lost in the mist because I was trying to escape."

"How do we crack it?"

"There's no way to crack it," Bai Cai shook her head.

"Huh?" Brett was taken aback. "So, who were you back then?"

"So what if you die... you'll just come back once the connection drops."

Bright:

'

This guy is really carefree.

That makes sense. If this guy has been in the same place for so many years, then levels don't seem to matter much to him. If he gets stuck in a rut, he can just spend more time leveling up again.

So what do we do now?

"We have to go." Bright stood up abruptly.

"No way, brother! We've come all this way, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Besides, if there's fog in the place you just mentioned, going back won't help." Bai Cai tried her best to stop her. She was joking, after all these years, she had finally encountered two living people, how could she be willing to let them go so easily?

"Moreover, there is a very dangerous big crab in that river. It was pure luck that you weren't killed when you came over. It might not be the same if you go back."

Bright frowned. Crab?

"I'm not kidding you." Cabbage pointed to the river behind her: "That bastard is largely responsible for the fact that I haven't been able to get out of here all these years. Every time I go over there, I get wiped out instantly, without giving him any chance."

A crab that can instantly kill an 80th-level Druid?

Bright took a breath. This forest was indeed terrifying. No wonder the army of the Beth Empire couldn't get in. Wait, if that's the case, wouldn't the Sweet Rice Dumplings who went deep into the forest be in great danger?

What should we do now?

Even Bright was at a loss for what to do. If what the man in front of him said was true, it seemed pointless to retreat or not, and besides, time was of the essence...

Bright looked up at the sky; it seemed... it was too late!

"There's still a problem..."

"At this moment, the envoy dressed in black robes finally began to move freely after dark. However, the path he walked on was covered with a layer of black ink-like substance that spread across the ground. The old man's high-profile departure instantly attracted the attention of many players in the North District!"

The old man did not head towards the entrance to Holy Stone City immediately, but instead headed northwest.

In fact, he didn't know where the artifact would appear. Even though he could sense that the artifact was not shut down, the forest was too big. This forest was the origin of the elves. Not counting the sealed space, it was probably the size of two human empires. It would be too difficult to find someone in it, and his time outside was limited.

Most importantly, his way of traveling was too high-profile, and he had to be accompanied by shadows. This high-profile approach was bound to attract the attention of Duke Raven, who was always watching from the outside.

He must find the artifact as soon as possible and return to the Shadow Hut, otherwise he might be targeted by high-level superhumans.

Although the northern forest entrance is Milandir's territory, if it is confirmed that there is something there, the Beth Empire will not hesitate to send powerful experts.

He headed northwest because he sensed that the female ranger wasn't heading towards the Beth Empire, but instead had changed direction and entered the forest.

He was almost certain that the female ranger knew something, and very likely knew the location of the artifact.

Following her trail is the most likely way to find your own identity.

Accompanied by shadows, the messenger transformed into a wisp of ink and entered the northwest entrance of the forest!

"Northwest entrance?"

At this moment, Duke Raven, who had received the intelligence immediately, stood up excitedly.

After watching outside Holy Stone City for so long, there's finally some movement.

A powerful force of shadow? Entering directly from the northwest entrance of the forest?

There's no mistake, someone has discovered the secret of that forest, something must be happening in the forest now!

"That entrance?" Many of the Duke's generals frowned.

Because that entrance was one they had just conquered recently; their elite troops had all tried it and died inside!

"Sir, even if someone has gone in, the risk in that direction is still too great."

"If we give up just because the risk is too high, how can we seize the opportunity?" Duke Raven waved his hand: "Call Gelster over!"

"Everyone's expression tightened. Gelster Ruin was the Duke's most outstanding combatant and one of the Empire's four great sword saints. How could the Duke be willing to let such a person take such a risk?"

Soon, Gelster, dressed in black cloth armor, arrived at Duke Raven's tent with a squad of elite knights.

"The time has come. Someone else got in first, and I need you to take a risk!"

"At your service!" Gelster gave a military salute without hesitation: "Your Grace, Duke!"
