GDK 509: Venturing Deep
The hordes of undead creatures that covered every inch of the land, left as quickly as they came. They returned from whence they came not long after Little Skeleton’s orders.
It was only when the mountain had transformed back to its regular state did Little Skeleton’s enormous body wane returning to his original petite appearance. Looking at Han Shuo, he said, “Father, why have you come?”
“I had sensed that you had fused your soul with the Origin Crystal of Death, I just had to come check on you. I must say you having attained such feats was quite unexpected. Well done,” Han Shuo rejoiced. He was sincerely happy for Little Skeleton.
“I very much owe my accomplishments to father’s assistance. Without father, I would not have accomplished what I already have,” Little Skeleton replied.
Han Shuo now truly knew he hadn’t worry for Little Skeleton any longer. Little Skeleton subdued bone dragons and king zombie! As long as he doesn’t run into any more mysterious and indomitable beings such as those told in the legends of the netherworld, he would never be in any more real danger.
“Alright, alright. Now that you have obtained such strengths, I can truly be at ease. Hmm, for the time being, you should learn to get used to your new body and soul. You will also have to look after Little Water and Little Wood when they arrive, you will supervise them in their practice of Penta-elemental Undead Formation,” said Han Shuo.
“Be at ease father, I know what I ought to do,” affirmed Little Skeleton.
Without wasting any more time, Han Shuo’s consciousness traversed through spacetime tunnel and returned to Profound Continent. He awoke in the hidden chamber in the Dark Forest.
Han Shuo hadn’t a clue of how much time had passed. He did some stretching before quickly leaving the chamber and into the depths of the Dark Forest.
To get to the Valley of Sunshine from Kasi Empire, one had to traverse through the Dark Forest. Han Shuo had always been very interested in the Dark Forest, a place full of wonders and mysteries. During his previous excursion to Kasi Empire, Han Shuo did not spend too much time in the Dark Forest. But seeing as there was no particular urgency for his return this time, Han Shuo took his time with the journey.
Walking into the depths of the Dark Forest, Han Shuo paid close attention to the distinctive flora and fauna of the Dark Forest. He was fascinated by it all. He had even obtained several very precious materials along the way. As he lamented at the wonders of the Dark Forest, he paid even more attention in his tour of the Dark Forest.
Han Shuo stayed in the Dark Forest for several days as he gradually ventured towards the deepest part of the forest. Along his travel he attained many priceless items, as well as a few exotic super-ranking magical beasts that had sensibly attempted to keep their distance due to Han Shuo’s sheer power.
The Cemetery of Death laid at the edge of the Dark Forest. Han Shuo had lost count how many times he had come and gone to the Dark Forest, but he had never before ventured so deep into the Dark Forest like he did now.
The deepest part of the vast and seemingly boundless Dark Forest, had always been synonymous with ‘mystery’. Those who dared set off into its deepest parts were in for a brutal journey. Countless adventurers had flocked to the Dark Forest over the years, yet none could ever dare claim they had roamed it in its entirety.
The right circumstances had never seemed to come to play for Han Shuo to thoroughly investigate the depths of the Dark Forest until that moment.
Soon enough, Han Shuo found himself at the notorious, aptly-named ‘forbidden zone’. He remembered right ahead of this forbidden zone that he had once encountered a golden dragon and a cyclops. He had also discovered the personal notes of the expert who helped establish the Lancelot Empire, as well as the skeletons of many super-ranked magical beasts.
Walking down memory lane, Han Shuo discovered that this place no longer bore any resemblance to its former self. It lacked layers of obstructive energy, weeds had overtaken every inch of the soil, and all kinds of magical beasts now inhabited the grounds, living in a single ecosystem. Han Shuo sensed the presence of super-ranked magical beasts some distance away. They, however, were not complete savages and kept largely to themselves.
Han Shuo gasped. A couple miles to his left were two super-ranked magical beasts fighting in what seemed to be an intense battle.
Curiosity took over and Han Shuo, who had visited with the pure intention of sightseeing, made his way over to observe the commotion. It was marvelous, a majestic unicorn fighting a cyclops. At one glance he knew, it was him, it was the same Cyclops Han Shuo had crossed paths with in the forbidden zone.
