Everyone couldn't help but scream in excitement. The group of seven people who were dozens of meters faster than Barbara and her group also cheered and quickened their pace.
The fireworks looked very close, but when you walked on, they were still very far away. It was like a race against time. The trees around were getting fewer and fewer. Later, it could be said that the landscape had turned into a grassland. Along the way, all kinds of groups, some in groups of three, some in groups of six, and some in groups of twenty or so, kept emerging like the sea embracing hundreds of rivers. Everyone was heading towards the same destination with excitement and joy.
These people, of course, are all outstanding talents who have successfully passed through this dangerous forest. They are all strong men who have conquered the forest monsters.
Barbara and others no longer seem to be conspicuous in this crowd. Not only that, even the rare sacred beastmasters are generally inconspicuous.
As they walked along, they saw at least four creatures that were exactly the same as Angewomon, and there were also two beastmasters with two particularly perverted devil-like monsters, with bat-like devil wings on their backs and pitch-black evil aura coming out of their bodies. According to Barbara's speculation, these two were very conspicuous devil-type beastmasters.
There are more biological beastmasters than before.
The summoned creatures are also varied, such as Lionmon, Giant Elephantmon, Two-headed Snakemon, Flying Wolfmon, Sharp-toothed Tiger, etc. Each one is a summoned creature with powerful strength. In comparison, Barbara's Black Dogmon is simply the lowest summoned creature.
In just a short moment, hundreds of people gathered together, and more people kept coming from behind. Everyone had the same goal, and they rushed forward one after another.
When Barbara and others followed the crowd and happily climbed many hillsides, they found that a high valley appeared in front of them. In front of the deep valley, many people were sitting or lying, but they all had embarrassed faces, and gathered at the mouth of the deep valley with blood all over their bodies, sighing.
And the smoke rising in the distance was coming from here. I don't know who got a lot of wood from somewhere and made a huge firewood pile. Now they are burning the fire, no wonder there is thick smoke.
"What's going on? What are you all doing here?"
There were about seventy people who arrived with Barbara. They were divided into several teams, with the smallest team having only three or four people and the largest having more than a dozen people. Obviously, they were all companions who had fought together in the dangerous forest, just like Barbara and her friends.
Everyone who arrived with Barbara couldn't help but ask in surprise.
A man sitting upright on the ground, holding a long sword that was shining with a calm blue light and slightly curved on his folded thighs, said coldly and secretly, "We are just waiting for you, waiting for more people than before. We raised this smoke to help you show the way, so that you don't go to the wrong place."
From the crowd behind Barbara, a girl emerged holding a translucent staff as white as snow. This girl already had a complete set of armor on her body. The fact that she had this strange staff weapon and these props had already proved her fighting ability, and she must be the best among them.
The girl's face was obscured by a green helmet, and only her eyes and lips could be seen. She must have had clear eyes, red lips and white teeth.
Just looking at these two points, this girl must be an extraordinary beauty.
"Excuse me, Boss, what do you mean by this?"
The girl's voice was also very pleasant, and she asked quietly with some curiosity.
The man sitting on the ground raised his head and glanced at the girl. Naturally, he was impressed by her props and the weapons in her hands. He nodded slightly and said, "I was just about to tell you the reason. We only found out after being told by others that the jungle we walked through was actually called the 'Novice Forest', which means that it is only suitable for novices to take risks and adapt, and it is the place with the lowest lethality."
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.
Over the past few days, we have all encountered various dangers, and it is rare for us to get out of this dangerous place. Now, I heard from this man that this place is called the Novice Forest. Isn't this insulting? "And the exit of this Novice Forest is in the valley behind me."
The man, who looked to be in his thirties, continued to speak calmly, and pointed to the deep valley behind him, saying, "As long as we pass through the deep valley, we can leave here quickly."
Immediately everyone cheered, and those who were impatient rushed into the valley.
"If you want to live, stay calm."
Among the people who were sleeping, some leaning against their backs or sitting in their places, someone shouted coldly.
Barbara and the other five people looked at each other. They had already realized that there was definitely something strange in this valley, otherwise these people would never stop here in such an awkward situation. And looking at their appearance, it seems that they hope to gather more people than before. In this case, could it be that the horror in this valley requires so many talented people to deal with it?
The mage woman must have anticipated the key point, and asked curiously, "Since the deep valley is the exit, why don't we leave quickly? Is there danger in the deep valley? And, it can't be handled by one person alone, right?"
This man in his early thirties seemed to be the leader of the group of people who had stayed here. He chuckled and watched as everyone came over from behind. There were more and more people, and looking around now, there were probably already nearly two hundred people.
Speaking of the knife, the man stood up and shouted, "Listen to me, everyone. Otherwise, when you go in, you will just throw your lives away."
The noisy crowd gradually quieted down. A beastmaster with a perverted devil lazily asked, "What kind of danger is so perverted? Why are you so scared?"
The man looked at him and ignored him, saying sternly, "This ravine is the last checkpoint for us to quickly leave the forest. It is guarded by a group of minotaurs. These minotaurs are some kind of monsters with human bodies and bull heads. They use very large wooden clubs. The fighting power of each monster is not inferior to ours. In the ravine, there are at least four or five hundred minotaurs. And there are five bull demon kings leading this group of minotaurs. I have seen one of these bull demon kings. I was very far away at the time. I only saw this monster hit at least five first-level colonists with good fighting power to death with a club."
The demon beastmaster seemed to have found a flaw in his words and said, "You've only seen one, how do you know there are five Bull Demon Kings in total?"
The man looked at him and said coldly, "If you don't believe me, you will know when you go in. There are five villages built with wood. The Bull Demon King lives in one of them. There are five villages in total. If not five Bull Demon Kings, how many are there?"
The beastmaster was choked and speechless.
As soon as the man finished speaking, everyone had different opinions. At first, everyone was a little skeptical, but at the other end, they all looked a little happy.
If, as he said, there is a group of ferocious minotaurs and five perverted bull kings, this deep valley is indeed very difficult to cross.
However, those who could get here were at least level one in combat power, and with half of their equipment, everyone had some confidence in themselves. Immediately, someone shouted, "There are so many of us, let's all rush in together, are we still afraid of that group of minotaurs?"
"Yes, no matter how powerful the Bull Demon King is, can he resist our joint attack? Even if there are more ants than elephants, they will not be able to withstand it!"
"Look, there are still quite a few people rushing here from behind. Why don't you wait a little longer for them and rush in together?"
Behind, more people were still coming. The newcomers saw everyone gathered there and didn't move, so they kept asking why. Then the people who came earlier told the newcomers the details.
Soon, the number of people reached nearly 300, and the number of people who came later gradually decreased.
The man in his early thirties saw that the opportunity was almost there, so he shouted, "Everyone, let's wait a while and fight in together. Everyone must stay in formation. According to my opinion, these five villages are arranged in..."
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of sneers from the crowd. Someone shouted, "Haha, what's the point of all that? There are so many of us. We can rush in in no time and kill any monsters. What's the point of forming a formation? It's so funny. Do you think this is a war?"
The man who said this was a sturdy and strong man holding a huge double-edged sword in his hand. There were two objects on his body, and it seemed that he had strong fighting ability.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sharp whistle in the air, and a handful of ice cones covered the sturdy man like lightning.
The man was caught off guard and took it all in. With a groan of pain, six or seven bloody holes were quickly made by the ice spikes in his body. He fell three or four meters away in the gushing blood.
The sound was so frightening that those nearby could not help but scream and run back.
The one who suddenly took action was the armored female mage. She slowly raised her staff and pointed at the tall and strong man from a distance, saying in a cold tone: "You are so ignorant. We have gone through a lot of trouble to get here through this forest. We need to be extremely cautious every step we take. You are so arrogant and conceited that you don't even want to live anymore. Don't drag down the rest of us who want to live."
Although the big man was knocked away by the ice cone, his injury was not serious. At this moment, he was just trying to stand up and was about to curse, but the female magician pointed her staff at him from a distance. He was so overwhelmed by her aura that he couldn't even utter a single curse.
