The dark forest remained as gloomy and damp as ever.
This is a place where Ouyang Qianjin once visited.
However, unlike last time, this time the forest was much darker.
Previously, you could still see slivers of 'surviving' sunlight filtering through a few gaps in the leaves.
But now, because of the [dark sky], there's hardly any sunlight filtering through.
Even the sun above the forest was obscured by thick black clouds.
"Young Miss, why does this place... feel so eerie?"
Carrying a lantern that emitted a ghostly blue phosphorescent glow, Zhang Yuan walked cautiously through the dark, damp forest.
Although they have been through many battles.
But this was Zhang Yuan's first time visiting such an eerie place.
Let's put everything else aside for now.
It's already terrifying that there isn't a single monster or animal in the entire forest, or that everything is so quiet.
Although I didn't see any monsters when I first entered my own instance.
But at least on the plateau there is sunshine, green grass, hills, and snow-capped mountains...
It's so much better than this pitch-black place where all you can feel is the thick layer of fallen leaves under your feet.
"Don't be surprised, it's still early, take a nap and rest."
Upon entering the instance and seeing the panel indicating it was the Dark Forest, Ouyang Qianjin felt much more at ease.
one day?
Hilarious! Absolutely not!
Once it gets dark and the mushroom people appear, we can begin our operation.
At most, it should take about ten hours to clear this dungeon.
"Uh...sleep?"
Zhang Mo, standing to the side, was dumbfounded.
"Hmm, I came to this dungeon when I was doing the level 19 advancement quest and it went very well. I'll get some rest and do it again tonight."
"But before that, we need to choose a campsite to sleep in. I think the riverside is pretty good."
Ouyang Qianjin glanced at her pink mouse watch, then confidently curled the corners of her mouth in a smile.
...
Tent, sleeping bag.
These things were not lacking for the young lady Ouyang, who had been plundering her way out of City C.
Although not much.
But he still prepared more than a dozen for himself.
So the Zhang brothers were able to avoid sleeping on the sand and gravel this time, at least.
Of course.
The rental fee still needs to be paid, for example, by owing a few magic sealing stones.
"Are you a devil! If I hadn't left in such a hurry and hadn't taken my things from the carriage, I wouldn't be in debt now."
Upon hearing that Ouyang Qianjin's tent was actually chargeable, Zhang Mo couldn't help but complain.
Good heavens!
He was just a working man, but before he even received his monthly salary, he already owed his boss several magic stones.
Working while in debt, huh!
But complaints aside...
However, they were only able to enter the instance this time thanks to Ouyang Qianjin's permission and their own strength.
So Zhang Mo had no choice but to accept it, even if it meant refusing to admit it.
They set up camp by the river again this time.
It was Zhang Mo who found it after running for half an hour.
Judging from the surroundings, it should be the same river as last time.
While they slept, a group of skeletons were busy in the forest by the river.
Last time, Ouyang Qianjin deeply regretted burning down the entire forest.
So before burning, we need to collect some herbs with soil on them before it gets dark and the mushroom people appear.
Previously, Ouyang Qianjin had noticed that the parking lot of Black Cat Paradise was very large.
Turning over the soil would be a great idea for planting.
As for the concrete and other materials that were dug up and made into gargoyles, consider it as recycling waste.
Making the most of everything is the ultimate perfection.
'Bang! Bang! Bang!'
In the darkness, the quiet sound of flowing water was broken by a rapid and piercing gong.
The three people who were resting inside the tent quickly opened their eyes.
However, unlike Ouyang Qianjin, who calmly stayed in her sleeping bag, the Zhang brothers, Zhang Mo and Zhang Yuan, who were encountering this situation for the first time, immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the tent.
Thinking they were under attack, they instantly went into battle mode and looked around warily.
They found a skeleton standing between two tents, holding a gong and drum.
"this……"
"Don't worry, it's just the young lady's 'alarm clock'."
Sebastian led his gathering team out of the dark forest.
Whether Ben Ali is a skeleton, a gargoyle, or a golem, he doesn't need lighting or even sight.
Therefore, they are not equipped with any kind of lighting, such as lanterns.
This sudden emergence from the dark forest startled the Zhang brothers.
However, the two were relieved after seeing that the visitors were Sebastian and his companions.
What's going on?
Zhang Mo looked at the gong-beating skeleton with some confusion and asked Sebastian.
His response was a helpless shrug from Sebastian.
Just as Zhang Mo was dumbfounded, the gong-beating skeleton started to move.
He placed the gong and mallet in front of Ouyang Qianjin's tent, then went inside, and soon came out carrying Ouyang Qianjin.
"Haha, don't be nervous, it's just some preparation."
Ouyang Qianjin, who was holding the skull's neck, laughed loudly.
Then, he controlled the skeleton to start packing up the tent.
They packed up the pots, pans, and other utensils, and the Zhang brothers naturally followed suit, packing up their own tents.
I've already paid! How can I not take it?!
