"Wood!"

  The forest of lost souls at night exudes a gloomy and eerie atmosphere, although Wàng Chén and Xuě Lù have already parted ways with the main team, but in the kind-hearted girl's heart, there is always a knot.

  She called out to Wang Chen...

  The people in front did not stop because of this, and their expressions still looked indifferent.

  Xue Luo felt a little angry, and even she herself found it inexplicable. Why was she angry? Obviously, Wang Chen was doing it for her own good, but somehow her heart couldn't get past that hurdle of conscience.

  She stopped in her tracks: "Wood!"

  This time, the voice was a few degrees louder, and Wang Chen finally stopped in his tracks. However, his eyes made Xue Luo's heart skip a beat, and Wang Chen's sudden words made Xue Luo's entire inner world collapse.

  "Get out, or I'll kill you!"

  "You... you actually scolded me." Although Xue Lai knew that this wasn't the usual calm and collected Wang Chu, but now he was telling him to leave, with an expression like that, his tear glands suddenly surged, and he burst into tears.

  "Roar...." Just as the snow fell and her emotions were out of control, a low growl in her ear made her tremble, and she didn't dare to turn back to see a terrifying skull-like black face, which looked even more frightening in the dark night.

  No matter whether the Night Ghost could understand Wang Chen's words, but the killing intent released by Wang Chen at this moment had already made the Night Ghost feel fearful. The creatures of the game world all have wisdom, only with different levels.

  The Night Spirit couldn't understand, but it could feel the tremble in its heart brought by this human being in front of it. This man was more like a devil than itself. It left from beside the snow with a huff, without any lingering attachment. Compared to humans, the Night Spirit's judgment was more accurate.

  Snow fell again, and the misunderstanding was forgotten. This time, however, the girl was frantic, not daring to look at Forgotten Dust: "Wooden head, I didn't know...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

  "I know what you're thinking." Forgotten Dust sighed.

  "In that case, even if I told them what's going on, do you think those guys would believe me or Blood Friend? Moreover, they've already blindly trusted Blood Friend, and if I really spoke out, it might have the opposite effect." Forgetting Dust's explanation was reasonable, but there was another point he didn't mention.

  The real reason why Wang Chen chose not to speak out was actually because of Xue Luo. If he were to expose the truth and be counter-attacked by the Blood Friends, those people would have already been drooling over Xue Luo for a long time. In that situation, he would be unable to protect Xue Luo, so he could only keep quiet, allowing the Blood Friends to let them leave.

  "Everyone has their own destiny, we can't change it, let's go, we also need to seize the time on our side." Wàng Chén didn't think that they were absolutely safe now.

  Snow fell silently, and the two continued on their way with almost no conversation, silence answered each other...

  Wang Chen chose the safest route, so he successfully avoided the group of night ghosts along the way. When he encountered a lone night ghost, he also chose to drive it back, after all, killing one might trigger even more trouble...

  "Huh, wooden...". Xue Luo looked at the young man in front of him with renewed courage. Wang Chen turned his head: "What's wrong?"

  "I don't know why, but I feel like you have the power to change things. And me...I'm thinking that you clearly knew how to save them, so why did you just let it happen? You have that kind of ability..."

  "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, if they really died because of this, can you be at peace, Mu? Just like that night, you ended up saving me..." The indifferent heart suddenly started beating violently due to Xue's words.

  "Let's go, we don't have much time left." Although Wang Chen didn't turn back, Xue Luo at least said what was in her heart. Everyone has their own way of thinking, and Xue Luo also believed in Wang Chen's decision.

  ...at the other end of the forest...

  As they ventured deeper into the Forest of Lost Souls, a look of bewilderment appeared on everyone's face. Although they were led by Blood Buddy, they felt as if they had entered a monster den. There were countless pairs of eyes staring at them from all directions, making their hair stand on end.

  "Brother Blood, how much longer until we arrive?" The long road seemed to have no end, making the already exhausted people even more struggling. If they continued like this, let alone encountering danger and fighting, they might die of exhaustion before reaching their destination.

  "It's near, just ahead." The footsteps of the Blood Friend didn't stop, but instead quickened their pace. When he saw the giant mulberry tree under the night sky, a triumphant smile spread across his face.

  "Turning around to face everyone excitedly, he said: "We've arrived, can you all see the mulberry trees? This is an absolute safe zone, monsters won't attack here. Come on, let's rest..."

  People almost without hesitation entered under the trunk of the mulberry tree, where the ripe fruit of the mulberry emitted a sweet fragrance, and there was indeed no monster around, but for some reason, it gave people a slightly strange feeling.

  It's as if I've been targeted in this darkness.

  "Don't go in for the time being." Not all of these people blindly trusted Blood Friend, they just thought that with more people, there would be a greater chance of getting out of here. Among them was a newcomer from Street Edge Town who stood out from the crowd, and he had never believed in Blood Friend from the start. Now, he felt even more that something was off about this guy.

  If he really wanted to rest, there was a hidden location beforehand that he had observed and would be suitable for resting, but under the circumstances where everyone was clearly exhausted, he still hastened his pace to arrive here.

  When the remaining thousand or so people were almost all resting under the mulberry tree, Xueyou revealed a sinister smile, but when he turned his head, he saw that there were still five or six people who were actually resting outside the range of the mulberry tree. Suddenly, his eyes flashed with a cold and stern glint.

  "Dong Chen little brothers, what are you doing? Quickly come into the safe zone to rest." Xue You said enthusiastically.

  Ye Dongchen joked, "But Brother Xueyou hasn't even gone in yet? We owe it to your help that we were able to find this place. Brother Xueyou, hurry up and rest first, the few of us aren't tired, let's just keep watch here, so we can make battle preparations at any moment."

  Ye Dongchen said that it is reasonable and there are also people who volunteer to be on guard duty, the exhausted people can't wait for this.

  But his words made the Blood Friends' faces change: "It's too late today, this is where my strength is strongest, let me come, you quickly enter the safe zone." His tone became obviously urgent.

  This raised Ye Dongchen's deeper suspicion: "Hehe, Blood Brother, why are you in such a hurry? Moreover, I think it's quite safe here, no need to enter the safety zone."

  "Cut the crap, I told you to enter the safe zone so just enter it!!" Blood Friend suddenly drew out his battle axe and furiously pointed at Ye Dongchen, shouting loudly. At this moment, he seemed unable to continue pretending to be a good person, revealing his true nature.

  The sudden change of Blood Friends made thousands of people on the scene tremble with fear, and suddenly this is what happened.

  "This guy is indeed problematic, brothers! Quickly come out of that so-called safe zone, that place must be strange!" Ye Dongchen shouted loudly, instantly making over a thousand people feel vigilant. Some people were half-believing and half-doubting, wanting to leave, while others directly rushed out, because the situation with Blood Friend was very off.

  "Hahaha, want to leave? Too late! It's all too late!!"

  Bang!

  Suddenly, a player who wanted to escape from the giant tree of Sangui exploded in an instant when he stepped out with half a foot. Seeing this situation, everyone was shocked and stunned on the spot. The blood friend turned around and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you are all in a minefield, if you want to escape, you will all die!!"

  "Come out, my brothers." Suddenly, about a dozen or so figures dropped down from the mulberry tree, their faces lit up with excitement as they gazed at the group in front of them.

  "Blood brothers, this time it took a lot of time, but unexpectedly brought back such a large batch of new people, and there are so many female players too, haha. Seeing the large number of female players, these dozen or so men revealed the smile that all men understand."

  "There's another chick who's perfect, but there's a problem, let's deal with these guys first."

  "This time, no matter what, you've done a great job. Later, you can choose any woman here as you like." A black-clad swordsman said generously, his body emitting a thick aura, with at least sixfold heavenly cultivation.

  "Thank you, leader." Though he said so, his mind was filled with the figure of Snow.

  "Blood buddy, you scoundrel, what do you want to do with us!" Ye Dongchen had already seen the situation clearly. Although he was relieved that he hadn't entered the danger zone, now these people's cultivation was obviously stronger than theirs. Perhaps waiting for him would be an even more terrifying battle.

  "How's that? Hmph, you still haven't figured out the situation yet? You're already our prey, newcomers!!" The Blood Alliance team revealed triumphant smiles, and now they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

  "Hand over all your treasures, and we might just spare your lives." The black-clad swordsman's true intentions were far from that, but his words had an instant effect on everyone.

  Ye Dongchen was the first to react: "So you're the newbie killers!!!"

  "Hahaha, just realized? But we are different from those newbie killers, we are newbie hunters!!" Newbie hunters are actually not much different, they just make themselves sound more dignified.

  "Now, hand over the pouches on your bodies. If one of you doesn't comply, all of you will die!!" The ruthless and deranged new hunters finally issued their final ultimatum to this group of people.

  People in a state of panic should respond to the current situation, although they have the heart to fight, but fatigue has filled their bodies and begun to devour their will...

  "Almost everyone says my new book is a flop, but I firmly believe this is just the beginning. I think everyone is waiting for the moment when Xiaoyu will make a comeback and push me forward with all her might. I'm convinced it's coming, so keep asking for fresh flowers to rush up the charts! Update time is set at 10am, 12pm, and additional updates in the afternoon; if there's no notification, this update schedule remains the same."
