Bad news kept coming in. The people in charge of scouting reported that the path back was blocked by rocks, and the road was filled with astral winds.
Lu Chen frowned. That guy didn't want them to go back the way they came!
"If that's the case, we'll follow the original route."
Fragrant Tea nodded. "That's the only way now. But we can't farm monsters anymore. We have to pass through this place in the shortest time possible."
The party resumed their journey and headed towards their destination.
Along the way, they didn't encounter any encirclement. Even the number of monsters around them decreased significantly.
According to the original plan, they would arrive at their destination by tomorrow morning.
Lu Chen also obtained a detailed map of the wilderness from Fragrant Tea.
The detailed route was marked on the map. Every leveling spot was marked with a red dot. They could clearly see what kind of monsters were there.
At night, the party rested by the Bright Moon Lake. There were Silver Winged Fish in the lake. Its meat was fresh and had few bones. The people of the Medicine Lady Tribe caught some and cooked it before sending it to Fragrant Tea.
"Everyone, try it. This is a specialty of the Bright Moon Lake. It's delicious." Fragrant Tea served Shuang Ling and Lu Chen.
At night, many of them fell asleep immediately after a day of fierce battles. The warriors of the Medicine Lady Tribe were searching around the campsite.
Shuang Ling was tired after the battle and went to bed early. Although Little Green wasn't very useful, its level was still low. This kind of battle was very taxing on her, so she had already fallen asleep.
Lu Chen summoned Little Furball to protect them. The little guy didn't hold back and rested between the two girls.
Lu Chen didn't plan to sleep. He wouldn't sleep until the guy hiding in the dark appeared.
Sitting alone by the lake, Lu Chen checked the map under the moonlight.
"You haven't slept yet? Someone is on night duty. "A voice came from behind.
Lu Chen turned around and saw Fragrant Tea. "You haven't slept either?"
"Sigh, I don't dare to sleep …" Fragrant Tea sat beside Lu Chen. She shook her head and said self-deprecatingly, "This is my coming of age ceremony. I didn't expect to be so lucky to encounter something like this."
Lu Chen smiled faintly. "It's not a bad thing to encounter him early. According to this trend, that guy will make a big move sooner or later."
Xiangcha nodded in agreement.
"By the way, the people in the tribe know that the Ice Queen is in my team. They asked if there was a man beside the Ice Queen." Scented Tea looked at Lu Chen.
"So, you are Solipsistic?!"
Lu Chen was almost moved to tears. Finally, someone knew his name.
"Actually, it was you who killed the Desolate God War Soul, and it was also you who saved the Ice Queen." For some reason, Xiangcha's attitude towards Lu Chen became much softer. "I'm very curious. In this Jiutian society where the strong prey on the weak, why didn't you keep the Mysterious Ice Divine Blood for yourself? Why did you save a person you've just met?"
Lu Chen smiled. "There's no reason. I just thought she was worth saving, so I saved her."
"I think you're too confident in yourself. You think that even without the Mysterious Ice Divine Blood, you'll still be very strong."
Lu Chen smiled. He didn't expect that someone who didn't even know him would say what he was thinking.
"That's part of the reason. Although the Jiutian is dangerous, there are also many opportunities. If the Desolate God and the Desolate God could find similar treasures, why can't I? So, in my eyes, that thing isn't as important as Shuang Ling's life."
After all, the two of them weren't familiar with each other. Both of them were silent for a moment.
Lu Chen suddenly took the map and asked, "This area isn't marked. What do you mean?"
"That's a forbidden area. All the hunting teams' routes go around that area."
"What's inside?" Lu Chen asked.
"I don't know. It seems like there's a very strong protective formation there. We can't enter."
Lu Chen nodded, "In other words, that place is very likely to be the habitat of the intelligent wild monster!"
"Well … actually, it's just my guess that monsters have intelligence. Besides, even if you know that guy is hiding there, you can't get in."
Lu Chen smiled. Why did he think that Fragrant Tea was telling the truth? The reason was simple. It was because he was a monster with intelligence!
Xiangcha's guess was not impossible!
As for whether he could get in or not, he would have to try.
"Don't tell me you're going to look for that guy. We'll be thankful if we can get out of here alive. Don't mess with him!"
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes. "I don't know if it's just my illusion, but I feel that the reason why he's attacking our team is because of me."
"It's like there's a force between me and him, that's pulling us together."
"If I'm not wrong, he's attacking the hunting team frequently today. He's probably preparing for the final battle."
Xiangcha didn't understand, but Lu Chen's deduction still scared her.
"The final battle? You, you're really going to look for him? "
"That's right, I have to find him!" Lu Chen took a deep breath and said with certainty, "We need to settle this once and for all!"
"When?"
At that moment, a gust of wind blew. The tents in the camp were almost overturned, and many people woke up from their dreams.
Lu Chen stood up and looked around. He didn't see any monsters coming.
He narrowed his eyes. "It seems that he'll show up tomorrow at the latest!"
The next morning, the team packed up and got ready to leave.
On this day, the sky was exceptionally clear. Not a single monster appeared, and there wasn't even a trace of wind!
The calmer it was, the more alert Lu Chen became.
In front of them was the biggest leveling spot in the wild zone. At that moment, seven or eight teams were passing by this leveling area.
"Xiangcha, is that you?" The team leader of the opposite team saw Xiangcha and jogged over. "Hey, did you encounter any monsters on the way? We haven't encountered any monsters since last night. I don't know what's going on. "
Xiangcha said, "Us too."
"That's strange. This is the first time we've encountered such a situation! You should've received the news that eight teams were wiped out yesterday. Now, every team has to move forward according to their original route. The wind has blocked our way, and we can't turn back. The tribe wants us to return as soon as possible. "
"I've also received the news from the tribe. Brother Changhong, if your tribe's route is blocked, does that mean we can't get through?"
"Hey, that's right. Don't you see that eight teams have already gathered here? They all came from different routes, but they're all trapped in the Giant Mountain Range. I don't plan to move forward. At least we can look after each other."
They didn't expect that the other teams were also trapped. Xiangcha was depressed. They couldn't leave the wild zone either!
At noon that day, more than twenty teams had gathered in the Giant Mountain Range. Since they couldn't leave the wild zone, they could only set up camp here.
In the evening, the peaceful Giant Mountain Range was suddenly swept by a gust of wind. The surrounding trees tilted, and the branches and leaves shook violently.
Shuang Ling walked to Lu Chen's side. "Brother Kuang, something's wrong."
Lu Chen took a deep breath. "Shuang Ling, help me protect Little Green. Brother Ox-Head and his daughter, I'm going out for a while."
"Brother Kuang, where are you going? It's very dangerous now. I'm worried about you. "
Lu Chen's expression was a little strange. There was a faint green mist in his eyes. "Interesting. I heard his voice. He's declaring war on me!"
"This matter can only be solved by me. You can't help!"
After saying that, Lu Chen walked out of the camp alone.
At the same time, under the moonlight, a giant beast walked out of the forest amidst the wind.
Its appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"What, what kind of boss is that? I've never seen this kind of monster before. Why does it have so many characteristics of monsters? "Someone exclaimed.
At this moment, the giant beast spoke.
"Black Barton, why don't you kneel when you see me?"
