Chapter 113 (2/2)

“Let’s go back to the mine. We can kill some wild animals on the way and get some experience.” Ye Cang said after thinking it over. They currently didn’t have any special missions. There were too many people at the fishman village, most of Really New Village had migrated over to earn scales to exchange for equipment and skillbooks.

They arrived at the town entrance, and waited till FrozenCloud rushed over. The 5 people once again set out towards the mine.

There wasn’t anything special in the mine, besides the last few Rock Lizard eggs that Yak was taking care of. The whole mine was crawling with soldiers. They decided to keep travelling past the hills and began climbing. At first, they could still see some small groups of players, but eventually, there weren’t any traces of civilization. The environment became more and more dangerous, and it was swarming in strong beast, which could beat back any other player. However, to Ye Cang’s group, who had healing and support from food, they weren’t a problem. Eventually, they arrived at an uninhabited jungle.

Ye Cang saw that this jungle was different from the others, it was similar to the foggy woods where the werewolves lived, but the fog here wasn’t as thick. The place had a frightening atmosphere, full of withering trees which looked like spirits. The trunk was the body, the roots were the legs and the branches the arms. The holes and knots in the trees looked just like faces.

“Team leader, I feel this place is a bit strange.” FrozenCloud warned as she looked at the jungle in front of them.

“You don’t say! It’s so gloomy, anyone can tell that it’s not normal.” Ye Cang said, giving her a dirty glance, which made her heart feel smothered. FrozenCloud could only sigh. I was just afraid you three didn’t even have that much sense!!

“Father, the ground here contains a sort of energy that is causing the trees to wither. If we explained it using the game system, it should be corrosive element. It’s likely that dark type creatures reside here such as: dark wizards, monsters, spirits, contaminated lifeforms, mutated beasts, cultists, homunculi, cursed creatures, etc.” Little Ye Tian had grabbed a handful of dirt and analyzed its composition. FrozenCloud looked at her stranger. She’s really the perfect little helper.

“So?” Ye Cang more or less understood her words, but what was the point of telling them?

“There’s will definitely be bosses. Given Really New Village’s history, they are likely one of spirits, cursed creatures, dark wizards, as well as contaminated lifeforms.” Little Ye Tian explained thoroughly in order to dispel his doubt.

“I think so too…” Lin Le stroked his chin and slowly nodded.

FrozenCloud rolled her eyes. Zhang ZhengXiong’s expression didn’t really change. Afterall, whatever comes, what would he do? Only 1 thing!! Beat them up!

Ye Cang nodded. “Let’s discuss after we see it.”

The five of them entered the jungle, lead by Ye Cang’s night vision. The other four of them remained alert. However, these trees were just too terrifying. It sounded as if they were speaking. Who knew if it was the wind, or really coming out of their ‘mouths’. The withered trunks also swayed, as if they were about to attack.

Everyone had to strengthen their hearts. In the night, the moonlight casted shadows, making things look even more terrifying. Little Ye Tian frowned. “Father, I’ve memorized every one of those speaking trees, and there have been 4 which keep popping up that look exactly the same. In other words, we’re being followed.”
