Chapter 152: The Woods

Feng Heng didn't rush to sleep after returning to his residence, although he was about to travel over there at the moment, he still had one more thing to complete before that, that is, he now felt that the vitality fluctuations in his body were abnormal, which was a sign of an imminent breakthrough, and he had never heard of alchemy before that it would also help cultivation.

Probably because every alchemy consumes the Yuan Force to the fullest, which is actually the same as fighting with people to exhaustion, which should help the growth of the Yuan Force.

So it was already five days later when Kane came out, which not only made James and the others angry, but also made Bretani and Leah's eyes very sad.

Kane has no way to explain this, except to say that once he enters the state of comprehension, he cannot perceive the time of the outside world.

Bethany and Leah didn't know what was special about Mark, and Kane didn't plan to take them with him on this trip, after all, it was too dangerous outside, and Bretani still had a lot of homework to do, and although she was now gradually worthy of the title of high-level magician, she hadn't really experienced any fights, and Kane felt that she was not capable of dealing with any enemies.

And her identity is also something that Kane is very worried about, worried that her runic symbol will suddenly appear at an inappropriate time, which is not a joke.

So after Kane and the two of them survived, they just made up a random reason and quietly left the fox space with James, and even Sarah and Bert didn't know about it, but fortunately, he had already obtained the method of entry and exit from Helen.

The four of them carefully passed through several orc tribes all the way, in addition to being able to sense the territory of his own people, Mark seems to have strengthened his foresight of danger a lot, coupled with Kane's superhuman perception, he did not encounter any danger along the way, but it was not peaceful, and several times they passed by several groups of dark creatures.

This also allowed several people to truly see the cruelty and bloodlust of dark creatures, and Kane also met the legendary orcs.

In fact, the so-called half-orcs are not as terrifying as imagined, most of them still maintain the original appearance of the orcs, the only difference is that the corners of the mouth are very long, until the root of the ear is cracked, it looks like a head is directly cut in half, the mouth is messy and intricately fanged, and the mouth is always flowing with pitch-black liquid, which looks very disgusting.

However, the combat effectiveness of these half-orcs is not high, and most of them stay at the level of fierce beasts, of course, it is also possible that they have not seen a high level, after all, this is still the periphery of the beast realm.

The four of them walked nervously for a few days, and the area gradually deepened, and the number of orcs and dark creatures appeared on the road, which made several people very uneasy, and according to Mark, they were only halfway now.

"Mark, are you sure we're not going down the wrong path?" Kane asked, hesitantly.

Mark looked forward quietly for a while, as if feeling something, and then nodded, "That's right." ”

Kane was a little helpless, "We've been walking for five days, and we're taking it to the heart of this land, if you're right, then I'm afraid your race is likely to be in the base camp of the dark creatures, are you sure we still have to go forward?"

James and Shirley obviously had this concern, but they just didn't say it, and they both looked at Mark.

Mark wavered a little for the first time, just stood blankly and didn't speak.

Kane sighed, saw that there was a forest in front of him, and looked up at the sky again, "It seems that we need to think about this carefully, it's not too early, let's rest in the woods in front for the night." ”

The three of them nodded, no objection, and slowly walked into the forest.

As usual, Mark went hunting, and the three of Kane were responsible for lighting the fire and setting up the camp, of course, before lighting the fire, a small formation had to be set up to block out the fire, which was very necessary.

There are far fewer prey here than in the human realm, and they are more alert, so hunting is actually a technical job, and the three of them set everything up and didn't see Mark come back, but they didn't worry too much.

The three of them sat on the floor, and Kane looked at James, "Do we really need to take this risk?"

James looked at the fire in front of him, "As the king of the beast clan, the Golden Lion Clan naturally lives in the center of the realm, which I actually knew before, but I didn't expect that they are still there. ”

Kane raised his eyebrows, "So do you think Mark's bloodline awakening is really that important? Aside from the influence it can bring, I think there are other reasons for this, right?"

James's expression remained unchanged, "Mark's fate is actually very tragic, he lost his mother at birth, although his father loved him very much, but he was captured by a group of people before he was five years old, and then he was sold to the human kingdom, tortured, and it took several tosses and turns to get out..."

"He was only seven years old when I met him, and he was shivering in a cold corner covered in bruises, but his eyes immediately attracted me, and there was no hatred in his eyes, but a deep strength, a look peculiar to a strong man. ”

"I took him back to the palace, at first he always did not say a word, but did not refuse food, he understood his situation, and he knew the price of revenge, and then he became acquainted with me, but remained silent to others, I taught him to practice swordsmanship, and found that his talent was amazing, so I let him enter the Demon Martial Arts Academy, and promised him that one day he would take him back to see his father, and in exchange, he would have to obey my orders for the rest of his life. ”

Kane was noncommittal, "In this kind of world, there are many children who have lost their parents, of course I don't plan to interfere in this matter, you make your own decisions, if you want to go, I will accompany you, and if you don't go, I will accompany you." ”

James nodded gratefully, "Actually, it's not all about fulfilling your promises, but also for what you said when you came out, I hope that one day I can have the ability to return to the Longling Empire and get back what belongs to me." ”

Kane smiled indifferently and stopped talking.

The sky gradually darkened, and the mood of the three of them began to get nervous, naturally not because of this day, but because Mark obviously forgot the time, and in this case, he was likely to have an accident.

If this is the case, then it may not be safe here, so the three of them extinguish the fire and go out into the forest to find Mark's traces.

This forest doesn't seem to be anything unusual, the trees are dense, and the trees are relatively long, and a few people don't know how many people have seen such a forest along the way.

There was an agreement before that Mark couldn't hunt beyond a certain range, but for the sake of safety, a few people didn't dare to shout, so they could only chase all the way, and they didn't dare to look for it separately, so the speed of collecting was obviously much slower.

Fortunately, the days on the run made everyone aware of some danger, so Mark didn't forget to leave a mark every other way, even when he went hunting.

The three of them shuttled between the dense vines, James was obviously the most anxious, and he kept walking in front, and as he walked, Kane suddenly accelerated and grabbed James by the collar.

James was still a little inexplicable, and Shirley on the side didn't know why, but when he heard the sound of 'boom', James felt that his feet were empty, and the whole person quickly sank down, but his collar had been grabbed by Kane, so then it was smashed against a wall with a 'bang'.

A huge trap two meters deep appeared in front of the three of them, as far as the eye could see, the trap was full of sharp sword thorns, if Kane was a little slower just now, James was afraid that he would be either dead or disabled at this moment.

Kane dragged him up, and James sat on the ground panting for breath, the trap that appeared without warning and almost made him hate.

Kane stood on the edge of the trap and watched for a moment, then frowned and looked around.

Shirley was obviously frightened as well, and said in some surprise: "What's going on, who dug this trap?"

Kane shook his head and didn't answer, beckoned James to get up and continue walking, the two didn't know why he didn't answer, but they both knew that Kane was an assertive person, so they didn't ask much, just followed him and continued to move forward, but James didn't dare to step forward anymore.

The three of them walked dozens of meters, Kane suddenly moved, and jumped to the woods next to him with a whoosh, this time although James was still unknown, but Shirley seemed to feel something, and hurriedly jumped in.

But as soon as she entered, she jumped out, and immediately a shield of light was struck, and she heard a sound as if something had hit her shield.

James unsheathed his long sword, and when he looked up, he found that it was only a stone whirling knife that hit the Shirley light shield, but judging from the sound of the impact just now, the power was definitely not small.

Then I heard a loud noise in the woods, and it seemed that Kane had exchanged hands with the comer.

"Humph!" Shirley snorted angrily, and threw a ball of light into the woods, along the way Kane was out of the limelight, and she, the highest person in the realm, became an ornament, which made her already hold her breath in her heart, and now even such a little thief dared to sneak attack her.

But this time there was really a misunderstanding, the whirling knife was not originally aimed at her, but hit Kane at the front, but Kane avoided it, so it flew towards her.

Kane did fight with the other party, judging from the strength and tricks that the other party used just now, the person should not be above him, but it was surprisingly slippery, constantly changing directions to dodge, obviously very familiar with this place.

And his body is very strange, giving people a looming feeling, Kane now purely relies on extraordinary perception to judge his location, and at this moment, I saw Shirley's ball of light gorgeously killed, intentionally or unintentionally landed in front of the opposite side, I heard a loud noise, and the whole person flew out.

Kane naturally didn't let go of such a good opportunity, and a dodge came to the place where the man landed, and the man was about to escape, but found that a long sword was already across his neck.
