Martial God Conqueror-Chapter 155 Troublesome jungle
Chapter 155 – Troublesome jungle
“Dark forest, which province is this?”
Du Shaofu looked at the vast forest from afar, yet it didn’t look like the Beastly Mountain range.
That boundless forest seemed less wild than the Beastly Mountain range, yet it seemed to have more evil breath. From faraway, one could even sense a wave of dark breath spread out, which made the mind feel quite uncomfortable.
“The Dark forest, is a very particular existence. It is situated at the border of Shilong Empire, and surrounding it is also the border of three more empires. Thus, these create that particular existence for the area. Additionally, this place is rich in herbs, and is also the living place for other monsters. From time to time, it becomes a heaven for those adventurous souls or fugitives from many countries.”
After a pause, Ouyang Shuang continued: “Even the Shilong Empire and other empires could not reach out to control this place. Inside, there’s chaos and killing. Strength is everything. It doesn’t lack a few top-level hidden warriors here; they live inside the Dark forest and use their power to build up a kind of order that belongs to this place. In the past few years, the Dark forest has grown with such terrible rate. This could be seen as a small empire inside here, where big fish eats small fish, and all rely on strength to survive.”
“This place sounds not bad.”
Du Shaofu’s eyes raised slightly, as he wasn’t too surprised. In this world, it was indeed the big fish that swallow the small ones and power was paramount; it was just that things would be so evident and obvious inside the Dark forest.
“Not bad?”
Ouyang Shuang glanced at Du Shaofu: “Wait until you see with your own eyes, how vicious it is inside this place. I would reckon you’d not say so anymore. Every rule and regulation inside this place, all come down to using your strengt; powerful strength is truly its rule and regulation.”
“As for the weaklings, it is truly unfair.”
Du Shaofu gave a faint smile. In this world, wasn’t it always the case that powerful strength was the absolute standard for rules and regulations? It was just their expressions were relatively vague, not that clear and direct like that in this Dark forest.
Ouyang Shuang looked at Du Shaofu: “Of course, even though it is chaotic, killing happens within the Dark forest and it is not prosperous, it is also extremely bustling here, compared to any other places inside the empire.”
“Why is that so?” Du Shaofu asked curiously.
“Since it is a heaven for those adventurous people or the fugitives from other empires, it automatically becomes a heavenly trading market. In this Dark forest, you can find anything: medicinal pills, spiritual tools, qi skills, beasts’ blood, secret bones, evil mounts; you name it, the Dark forest could give it and if you want to sell something, no one would ask you where it comes from.”
Ouyang Shuang glanced at Du Shaofu “Even large merchants from those nearby empires and also the Shilong Empire occasionally sneaks into Dark forest to purchase their items.”
“Such a good province.” Du Shaofu smiled.
“Going through this Dark forest is our Heavenly Martial Institute. The whole surrounding area belongs to the Heavenly Martial Institute, and even though the Dark forest is huge, they also didn’t dare to trespass into the land of Heavenly Martial Institute. However in contrast, the disciples inside Heavenly Martial Institute would frequently proceed inside the Dark forest.” Ouyang Shuang said.
Du Shaofu asked: “Why is it so?”
Ouyang Shuang said: “On the wanted board of Heavenly Martial Institute, there were quite a number of those hidden inside the Dark forest. This would naturally attract many disciples to go in hunting for a prize. Just wait until you join the Heavenly Martial Institute, you would slowly understand.”
In a short while, the Demonic Scale Tiger had approached closer. As the three of them also got off outside the edge of Dark forest, the Demonic Scale Tiger withdrew its tiger form and became like a kitty walking right beside Du Shaofu.
The forest was densely covered with trees, as giant trees’ branches covered the sky. Those giant trees were no less than tens of feets tall. There were bushes everywhere and some weeds were even a few feet high.
The forest was so gloomy and dark, and it seemed endlessly deep inside. However, there was a path usually taken that was so comfortable; it was just that there seemed to be some dark breath emitted from within the Dark forest that caused a sense of uneasiness.
“Be careful as we walk through this Dark forest. If we ever encounter some merchants or escorts, we may consider to spend some dark money on them to lead us for a short road. They might have a few low-level devil mounts, thus it might help us speed up a bit. Additionally, since they stay inside this Dark forest more and have better relationships, we might not have to face much danger.” Ouyang Shuang said to Du Shaofu and Dai Xingyu. At once, all three people and a tiger marched inside the dark forest.
The whole forest was so dense and deep that no one could be able to see its end, especially at sunset, its increasingly demonic sense also made the heart shiver.
“Roar roar…”
From deep within the forest, occasionally there was the sound of wild beasts screaming transmitted out.
“Whoosh whoosh…”
Inside the vast and dim forest, there were a few shadows swiftly passing by, and occasionally jumping up the towering trees while their sharp eyes glanced around the jungle. However, it seemed quite difficult for them to find their desired target, those shadows started to search forward.
The sky gradually turned dim and inside the vast forest, the lights also got dimmer.
“Looks like we need to find somewhere to rest first before we could start again at dawn tomorrow. There seems to be no way to go in the evening and we might easily get lost here.” Ouyang Shuang told Du Shaofu and Dai Xingyu.
Du Shaofu nodded: “Let’s first find some place to rest and restart tomorrow then.”
“Roar!”
Suddenly, the shrunken version of Demonic Scale Tiger became tensed and its eyes turned very alerted toward the front.
“Be careful.” Du Shaofu’s expression changed as he warned both ladies, Dai Xingyu and Ouyang Shuang. His eyes so cautious of all directions.
“Whoosh whoosh.”
At the moment Du Shaofu directed his gaze far away to the dimly lit forest in front, there were some shadows passing through. After a few flashes, they immediately appeared in the eyesight of all three Du Shaofu, Ouyang Shuang and Dai Xingyu.
There were in total five people, two young men and three middle-aged men with unified black outfits.
Five of them jumped on the giant sky-covering trees, while looking at all three of Du Shaofu’s group. It was the look of contempt. Then the shadows sprang down right in front of Du Shaofu’s group.
Five waves of breathing combined and all five were extremely strange, as they exuded a sense of murderous intent that caused others feel uneasy.
“One with successful Maidong Realm, two on the other shore of Maidong Realm and the remaining two was at the beginning of Maidong Realm.”
As Du Shaofu glanced through, he inspected the general level of cultivation of those five people. There was that murderous intent coming out from them that made people feel uneasy, which also alerted Du Shaofu.
As those five landed and looked at Du Shaofu’s group, their sight eventually and unexpectedly was attracted by Ouyang Shuang. It was tough to find such beauty like her inside this kind of Dark forest.
“Kids, have you ever seen a small blue bird?” A middle-aged men leading the group asked Du Shaofu and Ouyang Shuang.
“No.” Du Shaofu shook his head.
“Really no? If you ever lie, I’ll skin you alive.” That leading man looked gloomily at Du Shaofu.
The word from this man upset Du Shaofu. As they had just arrived, Du Shaofu did not want to cause trouble so he suppressed the unhappy feeling inside: “No means no, we’ve just come to this place.”
“Leader, since we’ve searched for such a long time for naught, why don’t we just rest a bit and have some fun with these girls? Both ladies, one tall one short, weren’t that bad especially that tall girl. Afterward, we could resume our search; how about that?”
The sight of the skinny man next to the big leader didn’t leave Ouyang Shuang’s body. His saliva seemed about to spill out as his eyes were burning. Such beautiful lady made his eyes fixated and his words spoken out undisguised.
“You really want to die!”
Upon hearing so, Ouyang Shuang’s beautiful face suddenly gloomed.
“Oh, this lady was indeed truly wicked. I like that. Let’s wait if you could keep it up until after I do it to you. I like it hot.” The eyes of that skinny guy sliced as he looked at Ouyang Shuang with his excitedly burning eyes.
“Forget it. We must find the treasure first. If we cannot find it, we all will not be able to stand it.” The sight of the leading guy couldn’t leave Ouyang Shuang’s body either.
“What a shame leader. I don’t know how long this would take.” As he heard so, the skinny guy became disappointed at once as he displayed sadness with his eyes.
The leader didn’t take notice to the skinny guy as he took a look past three people from Du Shaofu’s group: “Kids, be ready to hand over the magical satchel and then leave. Don’t waste our time. Just take it that you’re lucky to keep your life today.”
“Humph!…”
Ouyang Shuang’s lovely face turned angry and she was about to speak before Du Shaofu stopped her. He looked at that leading guy: “What if I disagree?”
“Disagree?”
The leading man showed a sign of suspicion as he looked at Du Shaofu like a monster: “You brat, your tone is very arrogant. Do you know what place this is?”
“The Dark forest.” Du Shaofu said as he looked at the leader.
“True, it’s the Dark forest. This place is not somewhere for such brat like you to enter at you wish. We belong to the large clan Dark Evil Door. If you don’t know about this, I’m afraid you might not even have the chance to regret.”
The leader guy laughed coldly. A little brat, together with a small lady and one pretty lady appeared inside the Dark forest – this made him feel quite strange too. He was afraid this guy might be the young master of some high class family that ran into here to find some stimulation.
“I haven’t heard of any Dark Evil Door. If you want this magical satchel, you have to take it yourself.” Du Shaofu looked at that leading guy with his eyes started to gloom.
