Chapter 114

Encounter Again

The curtain of night slowly fell. The bright moon hanging high in the sky sprinkled down specks of silver light, making the pitch-black forest appear somewhat brighter. From time to time, piercing howls could be heard from the depths of the forest. Countless ferocious beasts also became active in the cool and refreshing night.

Slowly walking in the dense forest, Zhuowen looked at the sparse trees around him and sighed. According to the map given by the white clothed youth, he should be at the border between the inner and outer regions of the Annihilation Forest.

Compared to the inner regions, this place was much safer. However, Zhuowen would not let his guard down because of this. After all, the outer regions were also dangerous and he could not afford to be careless.

"I really did not expect the inner regions of the Annihilation Forest to be so vast. Even after rushing non-stop for a day and a night, I have only reached the border between the inner and outer regions."

Zhuowen's face was still that of a youth, but it was no longer as delicate as before. Instead, he looked ordinary, with a pale face and a frail appearance.

That day, Xiao Hei changed Zhuowen's face into that of a wretched uncle without permission. Zhuowen naturally refused, so under Zhuowen's insistence, Xiao Hei changed Zhuowen's face again, resulting in this frail youth appearance.

Lifting his head to look at the completely dark sky, Zhuowen knew that it was not suitable to travel at night. Regardless of whether it was the exhaustion from the journey or the increased danger at night, he had to find a safe place to rest.

After turning into a small forest, Zhuowen paused in his footsteps. His eyes narrowed as he saw a bonfire rising not far in front of him, like a beacon in the dark night.

"I actually met people here?" Zhuowen was stunned. After a moment of silence, he lifted his feet and walked towards the bonfire.

As he got closer, Zhuowen could vaguely see that there were three people sitting beside the bonfire. They were two men and a woman. One of them was a middle-aged man with a sturdy body. He carried a heavy sword as tall as a person. He sat upright in front of the bonfire. He looked exceptionally dazzling. The other two were a young man in white and a young girl in red.

Looking at the three people beside the bonfire, Zhuowen's gaze suddenly became strange, because these three people were none other than Feng Yu and the other two who had just separated from him.

"Who is it?"

Just as Zhuowen slowly approached, Feng Yu, who was sitting in front of the bonfire, suddenly pulled out the heavy sword on her back. She looked straight at Zhuowen and shouted coldly.

Hearing Zhuowen's cry, the white-clothed young man and the red-dressed young lady sitting on the other side also sat up. Their gazes vigilantly looked at Zhuowen's side.

"Everyone, don't panic!

I'm just a passerby. I saw the bonfire and came over. "

From the dark tree, a pale and skinny youth walked out with a smile. He waved his empty hands, indicating that he had no ill intentions.

Seeing Zhuowen's weak appearance, the three of them sighed softly. The middle-aged man, Feng Yu, sized up Zhuowen. After confirming that Zhuowen's thin and small body was indeed not a threat to them, he kept his heavy sword. A smile appeared on his honest face as he said: "Little brother, why did you enter the Annihilation Forest alone?

This place is very dangerous. "

"Haha!"

I'm an alchemist. I heard that the Annihilation Forest was rich in medicinal herbs, so I took the risk to pick them. I just didn't expect that it would take so long. "Zhuowen took out a few ordinary medicinal herbs from his bosom and said with a smile.

He had already prepared this excuse when he saw the bonfire.

"Oh!"

Hearing Zhuowen's explanation and looking at the medicinal herbs in his hand, a look of relief appeared on his face. He immediately pointed to the bonfire and said with a forthright smile: "Little brother, come and sit!

The night in the Annihilation Forest is much more terrifying than the day. It's too dangerous to be alone outside. Why don't you travel with us?

I just don't know if little brother's destination is the same as ours. "

Nodding gratefully at Feng Yu, Zhuowen gently sat by the bonfire and said with a smile: "My destination is the nearby Liuchuan Town."

"I'm Feng Yu, you can call me Big Brother Feng Yu. I didn't know that little brother was also from Liuchuan Town!

We are from the Flowing Flame Mercenary Group and are stationed in Liuchuan Town. Little brother, come with us! "Feng Yu waved his hand and laughed.

"Thank you, Big Brother Feng Yu!

My name is Xiao Se, I'm just an alchemist. "

Zhuowen chuckled. He had a good impression of the simple and forthright middle-aged man in front of him.

"You're quite bold. A mere alchemist dares to barge into the Annihilation Forest alone. If you hadn't met us tonight, perhaps you would have already become a meal in the stomach of a Yuan Beast!" The young lady in a red dress, who was sitting very close to the young man in white, sneered and said with some disdain.

"Little Qian!

Don't mess around. "

Feng Yu shouted coldly in displeasure. Soon after, he smiled apologetically at Zhuowen and pointed at the young lady in a red dress: "She is my niece, Little Qian. She is a little straightforward. Little brother, don't mind her."

"And he is a member of our mercenary group, Feng Gong!" Feng Yu pointed at the young man in white and laughed.

Seeing that he was being pointed at, the young man in white gently nodded at Zhuowen. Soon after, he ignored Zhuowen. However, there was a trace of contempt in the depths of his eyes. Clearly, he was somewhat disdainful of Zhuowen's low strength.

In Liuchuan Town, alchemists were basically ordinary people. Their status was rather low and they could only treat the injuries and illnesses of ordinary people. Warriors, on the other hand, had never bothered to become alchemists. After all, a warrior's strong physique would not be infected with diseases. Even if they were injured, the effects of ordinary herbs on warriors were almost negligible.

Furthermore, there were many mercenaries in Liuchuan Town. Alchemists were not of much use to warriors. This resulted in an awkward position of low status for alchemists.

Zhuo Wen didn't mind Fenggong's indifferent attitude, and he only smiled slightly.

The girl in the red dress did not like the indifferent smile on Zhuowen's face. In her opinion, the young man in front of her was clearly an ordinary person who had come to rely on the three of them. Therefore, he should have the humility of an ordinary person and not such an indifferent expression.

The girl in the red dress pointed at Zhuowen and said with a sneer, "Since you have come to rely on the three of us and want our protection, then you have to fulfill your obligations. First, clean up our tent and then wipe the weapons over there."

Frowning slightly, Zhuowen could feel that the girl in the red dress in front of him was deliberately targeting him. However, what he did not understand was that he did not seem to have offended this girl. Yet, he was being targeted. This made Zhuowen feel slightly displeased.

"Sorry!

I have no obligation to do that kind of thing for you. Also, I am not relying on you. I simply want to travel with you. "The smile on Zhuowen's face also disappeared. Instead, he spoke with a calm expression.

"Travel with us purely?

Do you have this qualification?

You bumpkin, let me tell you, the three of us are warriors. Among them, Uncle Feng's strength has reached the Yin Void Realm, and Brother Feng Gong is a Nirvana Realm master at such a young age. Our leader even praised his aptitude!

Although I am not as good as the two of them, I also have the strength of the Strengthening Viscera Realm. "

"But what about you?

You are just a pharmacist without any cultivation, a waste. If it were not for Uncle Feng's kindness, we would not even give you the right to rely on us. Now, you want a yard after taking an inch? "

The girl in the red dress put her hands on her small waist and sneered while pointing at Zhuowen. Her words did not show any mercy.

Being pointed at and scolded by the girl in the red dress, even Zhuowen's face became somewhat ugly. His sharp eyes flashed with a trace of cold light.

Just when Zhuowen could not help but make a move, Feng Yu, who was sitting on the side, suddenly stood up and pulled the girl in the red dress who was angry for no reason. Feng Yu shouted, "Little Qian, enough!

Meeting is fate. Little brother is our guest, how can you be so rude?

I will pack up the tent and weapons. Don't make things difficult for little brother. "

When the girl in the red dress heard this, her face suddenly showed an unhappy expression. However, under Feng Yu's direct gaze, she still lowered her head and sat beside the white-clothed young man in a fit of pique. Her whole body leaned on the young man and there was a trace of coquettishness in her eyes.

"Little brother, don't mind her. Little Qian is just outspoken. In fact, her heart is still very kind." Feng Yu helplessly spread out her hands and immediately said to Zhuowen apologetically.

After calming down his anger, Zhuowen slightly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter!"

However, after this farce, Zhuowen did not want to stay at the bonfire with the girl in the red dress and the others. Instead, he went into the tent by himself, sat cross-legged, and began to slowly calm down his emotions.

Just now, if it was not for Feng Yu's timely words, with his temper, he might have already killed the girl in the red dress. However, he did not know why, but he always felt that Feng Yu's words were too timely. Just when he was about to explode and kill, she reminded him.

"He really is a piece of trash. He can't even handle this. I say, Uncle Feng, why are we taking in this piece of trash? He can't help us at all and will even drag us down." The young lady in a red dress, who was leaning on the young man, noticed Zhuo Wen's departure and sneered.

"Shut up!

You still don't shut up. This young man is not as simple as he looks. Just now when you mocked him, I could feel that his body was emitting a faint killing intent. That killing intent is stronger than many experienced mercenaries.

If it was not for my timely words, I don't know what that young man will do next. "

Feng Yu glared at the girl in the red dress and coldly warned.

"Uncle Feng!

You have some groundless fears. That young man called Xiao Se does not have the slightest fluctuation of Yuan Power in his body. How can he be a threat to us?

Even if there is killing intent in his body, it only means that he has killed people before. But after all, ordinary people are just ordinary people. Even if they have killed people, they are not a match for a martial artist. "Feng Gong said indifferently.

"Yes!

That thin and weak waste, how can he have the strength?

He is just an ordinary person. I only need a finger to pinch him to death. "

The girl in the red dress looked at the white clothed young man in front of her with some infatuation and quickly agreed. Moreover, her tone was somewhat resentful.
