In less than twenty minutes, Lin Huang had cleared out all the Fiendish Swamp Monsters along the way, plundering millions of Rule Bending Powers.
If not for the fact that Virtuoso and the rest were following them, he would not have stopped at clearing out the Fiendish Swamp Monsters along the way. Instead, he would have killed all the Fiendish Swamp Monsters in the entire area, leaving none alive. After all, these were hard-earned EXP monsters.
After leaving the Fiendish Swamp Monsters' territory, the team continued moving forward.
Lan Ling used her spell to investigate again and again, trying to find the abnormality that Virtuoso had mentioned. However, she found nothing at all.
Due to Lin Huang's presence, they passed one monster colony after another, practically pushing their way through all of them.
Even so, the team's progress was not considered fast.
After all, their senses were blocked, and danger was almost everywhere in this swamp area.
After passing through a monster encampment, Lan Ling activated a new round of scouting.
A moment later, she opened her eyes. "There's a Demonic Fir Forest up ahead …"
After saying that, she glanced at Lin Huang and asked after some hesitation, "Should we go around it?"
The last time she had asked this question was when they had encountered the Fiendish Swamp Monsters.
Lan Ling seemed to be worried that Lin Huang had no idea what was going on, so she added, "The situation in the Demonic Fir Forest is rather complicated. Apart from the Demonic Fir Forest's strong sense of territory and its aggressive nature, the Demonic Fir Forest's environment is rather complicated. Apart from the Demonic Fir Forest's very territorial and aggressive, there are many other tribes that live in symbiotic relationships with them. For example, Dead Spirit Vines, Fish Apes, Lightning Snakes, and so on … "
However, Lin Huang's eyes lit up as he listened.
To him, the more monsters there were, the more Rule Bending he could plunder.
One must know that apart from killing the Fiendish Swamp Monsters earlier on, he had gained a huge amount of EXP. However, the amount of EXP he had gained after that was less than a third of what he had gained from killing the Fiendish Swamp Monsters.
Now that he heard that there were many types of monsters in the Demonic Fir Forest, the first thing he thought of was that this was an opportunity for him to gain a huge amount of EXP. Naturally, he would not let it go.
"Let's go straight in." Lin Huang glanced at Virtuoso next to him after saying that. "What if the entrance to Phantom City is in this forest? We'll miss it if we go around it."
He said that on purpose because he was worried that everyone would agree to go around it.
However, these words sounded somewhat reasonable.
If the entrance to the Magical Fantasy City that everyone was looking for was in this Demonic Fir Forest, they would completely miss it if they took a detour. This trip to the Misty Swamp would be in vain.
In the beginning, Virtuoso had chosen this area as the exploration area because they suspected that there might be an entrance to Phantom City here.
"Let's just go in." Virtuoso pondered for a moment but still nodded.
As soon as he spoke, the others immediately had no objections.
After all, he was the one who had organized this team. Everyone had gathered in the Abyss mainly to help Virtuoso obtain the castellan's token for Phantom City.
After confirming that they would not take a detour, Lin Huang once again led the team toward the Demonic Fir Forest.
…
The Demonic Firs were a type of plant-type monster. Actually, the name Demonic Firs was a general term for a large classification. There were many different types of Demonic Firs with different names.
The Demon Fir Forest in the Misty Swamp was called the Night Demon Fir.
This monster had a very special habit. It was basically in a state of deep sleep during the day. If it was during the day, even if someone passed through the entire Demonic Fir Forest, they might not be attacked by a single Night Demon Fir. As long as one's body did not touch the Night Demon Fir or make a loud enough noise, one would basically not wake them up.
However, at night, the Night Demon Fir Forest would come to life completely.
At night, it was the time for all the Night Demon Fir to party, as well as hunt time.
They would extend their branches and use their blade-like leaves to shred all intruders who approached their territory.
However, the scariest thing about the Demonic Fir Forest was not the Demonic Firs themselves, but the monsters that had a symbiotic relationship with them.
Among these monsters, there might be powerful existences hiding.
Looking at the Night Demon Fir before him, Lin Huang could not help being stunned for a moment.
Although he had read about the Demonic Firs long ago, he had not expected to see the real thing with his own eyes. It was actually so huge.
Almost every tree was more than two meters in diameter. They were so tall that they pierced the clouds.
Lin Huang heard exclamations almost at the same time.
"It's so big!" Lan Ling was the one who had exclaimed.
"It's so thick!" Tu Tong was the one who had exclaimed.
Their exclamations stacked on top of each other, causing Lin Huang's thoughts to go astray.
However, at that moment, the few Night Demon Fir Trees within their line of sight moved almost simultaneously.
Countless branches shot out like lightning, and the leaves on the branches all unfurled like blades.
If this attack had hit, Lin Huang and the rest might have been sliced into countless pieces instantly.
However, Lin Huang and the rest had been prepared for this. Naturally, they would not be caught off guard. They reacted the moment the Night Demon Fir Trees attacked.
Lin Huang pointed a finger directly, and a black mirror consolidated in front of him.
This time, he did not engulf the rest in it.
This was mainly because he had been too proactive when hunting the Fiendish Swamp Monsters earlier, leaving the rest with no chance to perform. After that, Virtuoso had suggested that he give Lan Ling and Tu Tong some opportunities for actual combat.
In the subsequent battles, he had not specially taken care of the two of them.
Meanwhile, the Night Demon Fir Trees had no concealment techniques, and their abilities were not particularly powerful. To Lan Ling and Tu Tong, they were excellent practice targets in actual combat.
As for Virtuoso and Saber9, there was no need for him to protect them.
Therefore, when he activated his shield this time, he only used it in front of him and did not care about the others.
A few Night Demon Fir branches extended wildly, dancing wildly in the dark night like mad demons.
However, the branches that were whipping toward Lin Huang bounced back strangely after colliding with the black mirror in front of Lin Huang. The branches, with all their leaves unfurled, attacked the Night Demon Fir itself in a frenzy.
The Night Demon Fir was not an agile monster to begin with. By the time it noticed the anomaly, it was already too late.
In an instant, countless branches and leaves collided with the branches. In less than half a second, only a bare section of the towering tree was left above the ground. It was less than eighteen centimeters long.
If an outsider had been watching and did not know what had happened, they might have wondered why the Night Demon Fir had committed suicide.
Was it because it looked too ordinary, so it no longer had the confidence to survive?
The battle on Lin Huang's side ended extremely quickly. The entire process took less than half a second.
However, Virtuoso and the rest were still in combat mode.
After killing the Night Demon Fir that had attacked him within seconds, Lin Huang glanced at the rest of the battle situation, then withdrew his gaze. He closed his eyes and sensed the Rule Bending Power surging into his body. A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, which were shining.
This Night Demon Fir had provided quite a lot of Rule Bending Power as well. It was almost only slightly inferior to the Fiendish Swamp Monsters of the same combat strength.
This ignited Lin Huang's hunting spirit once again.
"These trees are all EXP!"
