Chapter 17: The Forbidden Forest

In the early morning, a figure quietly appeared outside the city, glanced back, and left without looking back.

Looking at the somewhat emaciated figure, slowly disappearing from sight, Meng Ningyan's heart suddenly became empty and very uncomfortable.

Finally, Meng Ningyan made a move that made her feel fortunate for the rest of her life, looking at the figure, Sakuraguchi lightly said, "I'm here...... Waiting for you to come back!"

The voice seemed to reach Long Zifeng's ears through layers of space, and unconsciously, a very attractive smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

......

The Forbidden Forest, one of the forbidden places in the Tianlan Continent, is said to be a land of ice and snow on the other side of it.

In the vast forest sea, there are towering ancient trees everywhere you look, with lush branches and leaves, almost no light. The soil on the ground is soft and slightly wet, and the branches and leaves of the trees fall to the ground over the years and slowly decay, so that the land of the whole forest is very nutritious. The woods are filled with a refreshing smell.

It's a world away from the name of the forbidden land.

However, Long Zifeng didn't underestimate it, since he entered this forbidden forest, his vigilance has not been relaxed, in this short period of time, there are not a few poisons that have died under his hands, but the level of those poisons is not high.

Suddenly, a chaotic sound of footsteps came, and after a while, a group of people appeared not far from Long Zifeng.

Long Zifeng observed slightly, there were eight people in this team. Five men and three women, their strength is probably in the realm of sword masters. There was a strange badge hanging on their chests, this kind of badge Long Zifeng knew, it seemed to be the badge of some mercenary group.

"Huh, how can there be a person here?" said a red-haired girl in the group strangely, there are many adventurers in the Forbidden Forest, but it is rare to see them alone.

"Maybe it's separated from your own team, right?" This situation is not uncommon in the Forbidden Forest, if a team encounters some powerful magical beast, the members need to be scattered, and it is common to get lost.

Ignoring this group of people, Long Zifeng raised his feet and wanted to leave.

"Hey, that kid in front of you is your ......"

Long Zifeng stopped and said strangely: "Are you calling me?"

I saw the red-haired woman, with a straight face, crossed her waist and said angrily: "Didn't you see that you were alone in front of us, if you didn't call us, do you still call ourselves?"

He turned his head and smiled, "I didn't pay attention, what is the matter?"

The girl raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course there is something." Hey, let me ask you, are you also going on a mission?"

Long Zifeng looked at the girl with a smile and said, "Mission?

The girl wrinkled her cute little nose and said angrily: "Are you deliberately pretending to be stupid, I just asked if you also took over the task of hunting demonic beasts to obtain the magic crystal nucleus?"

Long Zifeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do I want to go all the way with you?"

At this time, a very handsome man said: "That's the case, this friend, there are many dangers in the forbidden forest, if there is no companion, the danger factor of hunting demonic beasts is higher, we see that you are alone, you should be separated from your previous companions, right? ”

At this time, Long Zifeng realized that this group of people thought that he was a scattered person in another mercenary group, so he asked.

Long Zifeng smiled and refused, "Thank you for your kindness, I'm not used to teaming up with others."

At this time, a young man in the team snorted coldly and said: "Idiot, Brother Nosse and Miss Yi Nasha are afraid that you will encounter danger alone, so they kindly stepped forward to invite you to accompany you, you really don't know how to do it!"

It turned out that the man's name was Noxi, and the hot-tempered girl was called Inatha.

"In that case, forget it, this friend doesn't seem to need a partner, let's bother. The handsome man said, and then looked at a quiet girl with some flattery.

Long Zifeng swept casually, turned around and strode away, looking at his back, everyone else couldn't help but show indignant looks, the young man said loudly: "Brother Nuoxi, what do you think of that kid's attitude? We kindly invited him, he ......"

I saw that the quiet girl who had not spoken all this time spoke: "Moore, there is no need to be angry. In a place like the Forbidden Forest, it's not just the monsters that you have to watch out for, but also the hearts of people. If you are not an acquaintance, you will not be in company, we are presumptuous. ”

The young man opened his mouth, and when he saw the quiet look on the girl's face, he finally said nothing. But I was extremely angry.

Not only the young man, but also the red-haired woman, I saw her pouting and said with an unhappy face: "Damn, you don't even accept Miss Ben's love?

Nuoxi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, Miss, what's there to be angry about." It's no wonder that others, we didn't reveal our identities to him, so we directly invited others to form a team, and it was normal for him not to agree. I didn't approve of going out without permission this time, and I didn't bring a single guard, the Forbidden Forest is not our territory, and there is no one to help us if something goes wrong, or we should go back!"

Who knew that the red-haired girl said with a bitter face: "No, Brother Nuoxi, you have to pull me back again, this time I finally escaped once, and if I was caught back, I won't be able to escape, anyway, I don't care, I won't go back if I haven't played enough" Speaking of this, her eyes purred, and she used an indiscriminate nirvana - coquettish.

"Brother Nuoxi, you usually love me the most, accompany me to see this Warcraft Forest!" and then whispered in his ear, "Moreover, this is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... If you can show your skills in front of Sister Yajie, maybe your wish will come true......"

Nuoxi's heart trembled, and he shook his head with a wry smile, but he didn't stop it.

"Well, let's go around the perimeter, but don't go deeper, or ......" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the red-haired girl.

"Anla, Anla, isn't it just a little monster...... Let's go. As he spoke, he walked towards the Forbidden Forest with an excited face, leaving all the admonitions behind.

A group of rookies happily followed the red-haired girl into the forbidden forest.

Nossi shook her head with a little headache, obviously having a headache with the red-haired girl's vexatious trouble, if he could persuade her to go back, why should he follow her.

However, Nuoxi's heart didn't have too much worry, not to mention that they wouldn't go to the depths of the forest, with the strength of their group, ordinary demonic beasts really couldn't do anything about them.

Those who have the courage to enter the forbidden forest alone are either confident or foolish. The reason why I invited a stranger was because I thought that there would be more people and more safety, but I never thought that the seemingly easy-going young man refused.

"I hope it's okay this time......" sighed, and now that he couldn't help but refuse, Nossi made up his mind that he must leave before dark.

On the other side, somewhere the crowd couldn't see......

Long Zifeng calmly watched the group of people disappear into his eyes, one of his eyes covered by the long hair blown by the breeze, and he muttered, "It's really ignorant, do you actually regard this forbidden place as a place to play and watch?"
