Chris followed the mercenary squad deeper into the area, where tall, lush trees cast patches of shadow.
He discovered that the team the landlady had introduced him to was indeed very experienced.
He had studied the Twilight Forest in books before coming here, but those were just words on paper.
Only after entering did he realize the terror of the Monster Forest.
Danger was almost everywhere.
"careful!"
Standing to his left, the baby-faced man from the mercenary squad spoke up to remind him, and at the same time, he slashed with his sword, cutting down a vine.
Chris was stunned. He had accidentally touched the vine, but what was wrong with that?
Sensing his surprised gaze, the baby-faced man smiled and said, "These vines are very common in the Twilight Forest. If you accidentally touch them, you will be hooked by their barbs, and the mild toxins on them will paralyze your mind."
"But as long as you are careful not to touch it, there is no danger."
After listening to the explanation, Chris nodded, looked around, and found that these vines were indeed everywhere, with one or two climbing on almost every tree.
It is covered with dense, tiny black barbs, and one can easily get hurt if you are not careful. Once your mind is paralyzed in such a dangerous place, your thoughts become sluggish, and it is almost a death sentence.
Chris became more cautious again.
...
The dense trees blocked out the sun, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate. To make things easier, Su Qing shrunk his body to two meters in size, stood upright, and wore a straw hat to cover the two dragon horns that had just sprouted.
Its eyes looked around, and its dark golden pupils gradually split, transforming into a pair of double pupils.
The scenery within a radius of a hundred miles can be seen.
Originally, he should have been able to see for thousands of miles, but seeing through each tree would strain his eyes. To minimize the strain, he could only see within a radius of a hundred miles, which was enough for Su Qing.
There is a group of swamp rhinoceroses by a small river to the east. They are of the earth element and their innate ability is to alter the terrain.
To the northwest, there is a group of monkeys, golden monkeys, of the metal element, with very sharp claws, and their natural talent seems to be climbing trees better than other monkeys.
In the south are three Jiaoyan Horses, of the Earth element. They are very fast and their innate ability is to run on the ground, which grants them a speed boost.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, only these three types of magical beasts could catch Su Qing's eye.
After roughly assessing the distance, he decided to go and have a chat with the swamp rhinoceroses first.
Extending her claws, Su Qing tore off a few vines and skillfully wove a basket as she walked.
Soon, the simple basket was woven, and Su Qing carried it on his back. The poisonous thorns on the vines were of no use to him, who was covered in scales.
After crossing another century-old tree, the vines on the tree suddenly moved. It was a small, green snake, as thick as an adult's arm, which suddenly opened its mouth and bit Su Qing.
Su Qing looked at the small green snake with its mouth open, revealing its fangs, and couldn't understand why it was so depressed.
He grabbed the mouth of the small blue snake with both hands, and with a little force, the snake was torn in two.
Su Qing carefully peeled off the snakeskin completely and placed it in the basket as a mat.
Then he pried out a thumb-sized, grayish-brown monster core from its head and threw it into the basket behind him.
He hung the two bloody strips of meat outside the basket, the stench of blood spreading, which would soon attract other predators.
Su Qing strolled forward, tossing any valuable magical herbs she found along the way into the basket behind her.
Halfway to the herd of swamp rhinoceroses, Su Qing was delighted to discover that he had finally been targeted by some kind of wild beast.
After waiting for so long, he thought that the carnivorous magical beasts on the outskirts of the Twilight Forest had been cleared out.
A large feline was slowly approaching him, its pupils gleaming with excitement.
What an idiot! With such a strong smell of blood, he doesn't even know how to clean it up!
The large cat in the shadows stared at the figure carrying the basket, its expression a mixture of restlessness and hesitation.
It really couldn't figure out what that thing was.
Its behavior is very human-like, but that big, thick black tail shouldn't be something a human could have, and even if it did, it couldn't be that big!
It decided to take another look, lest it capsize in the gutter.
The big cat hid in the shadows and slowly followed him. Su Qing saw that after walking a little further, they would reach the habitat of the swamp rhinoceros. It would be difficult to make a move if they got too close, as they might scare the swamp rhinoceros away.
But the big cat following behind didn't seem to have any intention of making a move.
Are Warcraft players really this passive now?
"oops!"
Su Qing tripped over a vine and fell to the ground, spilling everything out of the basket, including some magical herbs and several magical beast cores.
These things are very attractive to magical beasts, and Su Qing seemed to have been hit hard by the fall, lying on the ground groaning.
The big cat was stunned by what it saw and immediately became alert.
With such exaggerated acting, the other party must have noticed him; they're trying to lure him out.
The big cat was starting to have second thoughts and was preparing to run away.
Su Qing noticed the big cat's movements, and her face darkened.
The big cat slowly retreated, disappearing from the shadows.
It turned out to be a magnificent tiger, over three meters long even without its tail, with four sharp fangs and a pair of fleshy wings growing from its ribs.
The Twin-Winged Tiger, a wind-type creature, possesses speed far exceeding that of its peers.
In the Monster Forest, these monsters with powerful ambush abilities are the most troublesome for mercenary hunters.
