Chapter 209: Something is wrong

"Be careful."

As soon as you enter Senmize, you can see the tall, dark green trees. They are like a canopy, blocking out the sky and the sun, just like a roof. The entire area is covered in thick shadows, with only a few gaps allowing a little light to shine through, allowing people to barely walk with this little light to avoid stepping into pits.

Yun Qimu was also a little shocked when he saw the vast and dark forest in front of him.

Even in other star regions in the universe, there may not be any forests with such a high plant coverage rate.

From this point of view, there is indeed something strange about Morimize.

Everyone held their breath and concentrated. From the moment they stepped in, all their muscles tensed and their vigilance was at its highest point.

Morimize has a bad reputation, so they can't relax for a moment, otherwise they won't know when they will be taken away by the crazy beasts and become their food.

A group of hundreds of people, even if they slowed down their pace, still made the dead branches and leaves on the ground squeak.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes passed. Apart from the thick gloom and the disgusting smell of decay that made people frown, it was extremely quiet. Even the roar of beasts that had been heard outside before disappeared. The only sound in the ears was the sound of their footsteps and the thumping of their heartbeats that were beating more and more violently.

The timid ones really wanted to say a few words to ease the silent and terrifying atmosphere, but when they looked at the others, they silently held their words in their throats and did not dare to be the first to speak out.

It was not until the Yibei moth, who was lazily lying on Shi Yong's back, had rested enough, stretched lazily, patted Shi Yong's shoulder, and asked Shi Yong in a normal voice to put him down that the others breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been released.

Then the words that were suppressed in my throat could no longer be contained and burst out.

"Fuck, I was almost scared to death just now. What's wrong with this Sen Mu Ze? Why is he so quiet? My heart is about to jump out of my throat."

"Hahaha, isn't your sweetheart still waiting for you to return to Chaos City?"

"Bullshit, who told you about that precious little darling? It's my own little darling."

"Oh, you've taken me so seriously. You're right, Old Wang. Qionghua didn't follow the wrong person."

"Hahaha, that's right. You've never had the good fortune to do that. Hey, don't interrupt me. Who told you that?"

Several men were laughing and joking in the darkness, dispelling the quiet and eerie atmosphere around them.

The others also relaxed a little and started chatting in whispers.

"Do you think there are too many trees around here? It's much darker than the last time I came here."

"It does seem a little dark, but I've always gone through the first entrance and never been to the second entrance. Maybe it's different from the first entrance."

"Ah, that's possible."

A group of people were talking to each other alertly, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye. They moved forward in a straight line, and except for walking a little slower than usual, there was no other delay on the road. According to the experienced Zhong Teng, they should have reached the center of Senmize.

"Something's wrong. Isn't it said that Sen Mu Ze has a fierce reputation and has narrowly escaped death? How come it's been an hour and we haven't encountered a single mutant beast, let alone a berserk beast?" Yuan An touched his round chin, his eyes blank.

He was already prepared to use these berserk beasts to train his fat body hard, so as to avoid Pei Yu's troublesome uncle mocking him all day long.

But if this berserker beast doesn't come, it means that he has lost the beast that he uses as a tool for losing weight.

Yuan An's face wrinkled, still a little disappointed.

Yun Qimu also frowned fiercely, and pursed her red lips, "When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong."

Zhong Teng agreed with Yun Qimu's statement with serious eyes, and then he said, "It's indeed different from usual. Senmize has the most berserkers. Usually, as soon as we step into Senmize, berserkers will smell the scent and rush over. Before we reach the middle area, we usually encounter three to ten besieged by berserkers, but now..."

His meaning was self-evident. The current situation where he hadn't even encountered this berserk beast was indeed very strange.

"Could it be that some kind-hearted person cleared the road ahead of us before we arrived?" Dongfang Ji actively expressed his opinion, and the more he touched his chin, the more he felt that his idea was correct.

Because he had been sent out by the Poison Dragon to do a very dangerous mission, he thought he would be in danger of death and it would be difficult to come back, but he didn't expect that the road ahead had been cleared for him, waiting for him to get the mission items in person.

It can be said that his growth and position as the number one mercenary in the Mercenary City was not entirely due to his own strength, but also to that kind-hearted person hiding in the dark.

Could it be him again this time?

But something is wrong. Ever since his ability level reached S-level, that "kind-hearted person" hasn't helped him for a long time.

Yun Qimu, Wu Xingyu, Zhong Teng and others looked at him with indescribable expressions.

How old are you and still having sweet dreams?

Dongfang Ji's eyes were blazing with fire, and the corners of his beautiful phoenix eyes were stained with a faint red. He shouted, "What are you looking at? What I said is true, really, I am not dreaming."

"Okay, okay, I'm not dreaming, I'm not dreaming. You just gave me an idea." Looking at his angry face, which looked a bit like his own awkward and arrogant little brother Yun, Yun Qimu smoothed his fur.

Dongfang Ji became even angrier. The tone of his voice was as if he was treating him like a child.

He is older than her, older than her, you know.

Yun Qimu felt a little guilty after being glared at. He turned his head and looked at Yi Beiming, who was standing behind him with his hands in his pockets, as if he was out for a leisurely stroll. He shouted, "Master Yi, do you have any unique insights? Would you like to share them?"

Yi Beiming's charming almond-shaped eyes swept over them, and then he raised his thin lips and quickened his pace to approach them. He said in a familiar tone, "I can't claim to be an expert on this, but I just have some thoughts. There's no smell of blood or signs of fighting around, but there are quite a few fresh footprints. So I think it's as if something in the depths of Senmu Lake has summoned them all."

"Summon." Old Man Tang seemed to be thinking about something. When he saw Yun Qimu looking at him, he immediately understood what she meant. Then he pursed his lips, his eyes flashed, and he began to use his supernatural power - seduction.

Yi Beiming noticed her gaze and looked towards Old Man Tang thoughtfully.

He raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly, "What is Miss Yun planning to do? Does this person have any special abilities?"

Yun Qimu smiled and nodded at him, "Indeed, Father Tang has the beast control technique inherited from his ancestors, and can also summon berserk beasts or mutant beasts."
