Chapter 448: The Forest (2/2)

However, they soon found joy and thrill in hunting down these mortal and ferocious beasts and consuming them. Their taste was also not bad.

The sight of the Luan birds frolicking in the air, and hunting down beasts was enough to make them smile and happy. Although they were in enemy territory, much of their hesitation had been removed by observing the birds' actions.

Like this, the group continued onward. They traveled for two days without a break before they saw a forest appearing on the horizon. Although it was far away, it was the first change in the environment they had seen since they had arrived, and they could not help but be excited.

But although they were excited, they also knew that they could not just rush towards it, they had to be alert. Although the plain they had been walking on was straightforward, it was impossible to be ambushed; hence their vigilance was slightly lowered.

However, a forest was perfect for hit and run battles. It was ideal for hiding and attacking when no one was prepared. And they could not forget that they were getting closer and closer to the military camp that was their goal.

Although they had not encountered any enemy soldiers so far, it was merely a question about time. The closer they got to the military camp, the more likely they were to meet soldiers, but Xue Wei was puzzled as to why they had not met any so far.

Looking at Lan, he contemplated asking him why, but knowing Lan's personality, he was not likely to tell him the truth.

As such, he decided not to ask, and continued forward.

Soon, they reached the forest. It was a big forest, and looking into it, they saw that the thicket was so dense that no sun reached the forest floor; the entire forest was shrouded in darkness, and seemed extremely looming and dangerous.

Xue Wei frowned. He had a feeling that this forest was not what it looked like, but he did not understand where this feeling came from.

It was as if there was something dangerous within, a threat that made him feel a chill going through his heart as he looked at the forest.

It was not only him who felt like this, everyone was frowning as they looked at the forest; it was too silent and eerie.

Xue Wei was not willing to enter, so he went to Lin Xiao and made him summon the Scarlet Bee Queen from the beast tag.

She then summoned around a hundred of her normal scarlet bees, and they were sent scouting into the forest, one after another in different directions.

Xue Wei had thousands of such normal scarlet bees, so using them to scout was not a problem.

At the same time, every single bee had a connection with the Scarlet Bee Queen, who was a Primordial Beast, and she could see what they saw. As such, she could tell them what was happening inside the forest.
