An Ran, An Yu, and Xu Errong quickly came to their senses and said, "Okay!"

Summoning their flying mounts, the four of them flew up and then retraced their steps. They had indeed been in such a hurry along the way that they hadn't had a good rest.

They should slow down now as the road ahead is extremely dangerous. They should at least recover to their best condition before going in, which can increase their chances of winning.

A few hours later.

The four of them were in high spirits. They changed their location and came back to the outside of the Devil's Forest.

Xu Errong took out four pills, one for each person, and said, "Take this one to prevent the poison barrier."

An Ran, An Yu and Jun Zichen obeyed without hesitation, and then finally entered the Devil's Forest.

An Ran and Xu Errong used the fire element to shield the two people from the poisonous fog, adding a bit of safety. Because the poisonous fog was too thick, they could only see two or three meters ahead.

It also depends on listening.

An Ran had initially expected an ambush from a secret organization, but surprisingly, after several hundred meters, she found nothing unusual. Further in, she encountered the corpses of several low-level monsters. Judging by the decaying state of the bodies, they had been there for some time. Further in, she gradually saw the bodies of humans.

"What's going on?" She was stunned.

"They were some merchants and adventurers... That explains why no one came out. They were all killed." Xu Errong approached and took a look. "Look at the situation, it must be those people from the dark organization who did it."

"Yeah." A large number of people from the dark organizations gathered here. It would be strange if they would tolerate outsiders. Besides, the people from the dark organizations could advance quickly by absorbing other people's magic element energy balls. These people must be the best targets.

The four continued forward and found nothing unusual. After walking for a while, the situation was the same. They did not see anyone from the dark organization, but occasionally saw some victims and the corpses of monsters.

"Jun Zichen, is the Devil's Pond far away?"

"It's not very far. We can get there in two or three hours."

"It would be really strange if the Dark Organization didn't show up after a two or three hour journey."

"Well, it's a little unusual."

After walking for a while, the poisonous fog became noticeably lighter. Jun Zichen took out a safe route map and looked at it. It marked the dangerous areas.

We emerged from the bushes and gradually continued to walk deeper. Occasionally, we would see the faint footprints of monsters, but we didn't encounter any living ones, and even the dead ones didn't attract a single fly.

It wasn't surprising that no living creatures were seen. Under the terrifying aura of the Dark Organization's leader, those who were still alive had fled far away.

Suddenly, Jun Zichen stopped, staring at a certain place in front of him in shock!

An Ran, An Yu and Xu Errong also looked in the direction he was looking...with the same look of shock on their faces!

An Ran vomited! Her face turned pale. Nearby, thousands of bodies lay sprawled across the ground! Seriously, there were so many, you couldn't even count them! All of them, the clothes of members of the Dark Organization?! What did that mean? Could it be that the Dark Organization had chosen to commit mass suicide here?!

No wonder there was no attack from the dark organization. How could they attack if they were all dead?

I couldn't believe it. An Ran really couldn't believe what she saw...

Jun Zichen covered his mouth and stepped forward to check the situation. His expression became more serious. "Ranran, Anyu, Xu Errong, this is not good."

"Um?"

"It's like someone has sucked away all the magical energy..."

After he said this, An Ran, An Yu and Xu Errong felt nervous.

They finally understood why that person had gathered these people. If he wanted to quickly improve his abilities, using a large number of dark organization members would be the fastest and most effective way. And if that person absorbed the magical energy of so many dark organization members, it was unimaginable how powerful he would become.

"Chatter!" The sneer sounded again.

The four of them looked over and saw another figure appear in the distance.

This time, he did not disappear immediately, wearing a black hat and cloak.

"Who are you?" Jun Zichen's eyes turned cold.

"Chatter..."

The man stood there, stared at them for a while, then turned and walked forward, neither hurried nor slow.

Like a guide?

An Ran, An Yu, Jun Zichen and Xu Errong looked at each other, then nodded and followed.

Regardless of whether there were traps ahead, the four of them had no choice but to retreat. Gradually, the poisonous fog completely dissipated, and Xu Errong removed the fire magic elemental shield from his body. They passed through the trees and shrubs, then flew over a mountain stream, a cliff, a waterfall, and other dangerous terrain.

Danger exists at every moment. Some are natural, while others are man-made.

Natural obstacles include swamps and mud, and man-made obstacles include the bastard in front who occasionally causes trouble for them. If you don't walk on flat ground, you will be led into a trap and fly over. Also, for example, he will cross the bridge quickly and cut off the clues when the four of you reach the middle.

Or, when climbing a slope, he would walk in front and cause one or two landslides, trying to kill the four people behind him.

However, this inferior move obviously could not kill An Ran, An Yu, Jun Zichen and Xu Errong.

However, he still enjoyed it, a bit like if he could kill them, then so be it, but if he couldn't, it didn't matter...

At this time, the person in front gradually increased his speed.

An Ran, An Yu, Jun Zichen and Xu Errong did not fall behind at all.

"What does he want?" An Yu asked with a frown.

"Maybe they want to consume our physical strength. The route is not wrong." Jun Zichen replied indifferently.

"Yeah, I see."

They ran for about two more hours.

We arrived at the entrance of Devil's Pool. It was cold here and the towering trees blocked out the sunlight.

The man stopped and sneered, "Chat, chat!" He disappeared and did not lead the way anymore, or rather, there was no need to lead anymore.

An Ran, An Yu, Jun Zichen and Xu Errong also stopped and frowned.

The familiar, terrifying aura can be clearly detected. Who else could it be but that person?

Soon, the four of them cautiously entered the Devil's Pond. The reason why the Devil's Pond was called the Devil's Pond was because there was a pond there! A pond that was even more terrifying than the devil.

At this time, Jun Zichen took An Ran, An Yu and Xu Errong inside.

An Ran looked around cautiously, feeling a slight chill. Everything around her seemed strange and eerie...

"Senior brother, brother, Jun Zichen, what's going on with the temperature? And this weird wind..." The strange wind blew in an unknown direction, turning around in all directions, east, south, west, and north. She looked up again, but it was all gray and she couldn't see anything clearly.

Suddenly, An Ran, hugged by Jun Zichen, rushed forward! Then, a flash of lightning struck! The large tree that the four of them had just stood next to was split open.

An Ran was startled and leaned towards Jun Zichen, "There was lightning, but no thunder?"

"Well, this is a dangerous place. There are always some things that humans cannot explain. You have to be careful and it's best not to stay too far away from me." Jun Zichen reminded.
