Just as Caius said, they soon reached the end of the road. Livia's eyes became solemn as she looked at the forest in front of her, which was full of dense trees and bushes and thick vines spreading all over the ground.

Before entering, Livia felt a somewhat eerie atmosphere. Gray Demon Forest, Gray Demon Forest, he suddenly felt that this name had some special meaning.

"Is there such a dangerous forest so close to town?"

Livia whispered to Caius beside her, the Bone Forest is fine, as it is a forbidden area, Kovagr has no way to deal with it, but at least Kovagr once had the strength to clear out the monsters in the nearby Kohan Forest, and even used it as a hunting spot in autumn.

Songkani seems to be quite powerful, much stronger than Kovag. How could he allow such a dangerous place to exist nearby?

"I don't know about that either. Anyway, the world is full of monsters and dangers everywhere. Why would you care so much?"

Hearing his question, Caius frowned and said.

"A marquis with a territory once had this plan and personally led an army of nearly a thousand people into the area, but in the end, no one came out alive."

Honasan, who was standing by, seemed to have heard what they said and suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

"Ah..." Caius turned to look at him in surprise, with a look of disbelief in his eyes. In his understanding, an army of a thousand people could even dominate the outcome of a small battle on the border, so how could it be destroyed quietly in this place.

Livia, on the other hand, was much calmer. After all, he had seen an elven swordmaster with legendary strength, and had a general idea of ​​the legendary strength. After asking a few questions, he learned from Delon that the entire Cohen Forest had disappeared, leaving only a large pit in the center.

There was absolutely no need for Deron to hide or deceive him about this matter. He could find out the truth by just taking a quick look.

According to Delong's statement and the description in the book, he felt that an army of a thousand people was not enough in front of a legend. The gap between high-level and legendary was different from that between low-level and high-level. Both low-level and high-level could be killed by a large number of ordinary people. After all, there would be a moment when their physical strength was exhausted. As for the legend, it was like the sublimation of the life level. If you want to exhaust the physical strength and power, it would probably take thousands of people to fight the army in batches and consume it slowly. They also had to be surrounded on an open plain and not given a chance to escape. Only then could they be consumed to death.

Honasan did not deliberately conceal his words and lowered his voice. Everyone around him heard his words clearly, and the guards around him seemed to have known it for a long time and did not show the slightest surprise.

But Paros and the trio's faces darkened. They knew the danger when they came, but they didn't know that a thousand people would be destroyed silently if they went in. If they knew it would be so dangerous, they would definitely not choose to take on the mission.

“Hehe…” The old hunter smiled and got off his horse. “The outskirts of the Gray Demon Forest are not that dangerous. Ten years ago, I often came here to collect some medicinal herbs and earn some money for a living.”

This was the first time that everyone heard him speak. His voice sounded a little old, but very clear.

"That's right. The outer area of ​​the Gray Demon Forest is not very dangerous. The inner area is only dangerous to a certain extent. The core area is the most dangerous and is the reason why the army of a thousand people was annihilated. So we must not get close to it."

Natalia also got off the horse, nodded in agreement with the old hunter, and explained the danger level of the Gray Demon Forest area.

“Is the information reliable?”

The leader of the trio frowned and asked in a deep voice. This was what Livia and the others wanted to ask. Livia was even more concerned about this than they were. After all, he knew the power of the extraordinary. As a marquis, even if he was not extraordinary, his subordinates must have high-level extraordinary people. Even so, no one escaped, which only showed that the danger level of the core area of ​​the Gray Demon Forest was at least serious enough for legends to take seriously.

"Don't worry. I'm not interested in making fun of myself. I've asked the Lord of Songkani and other nobles who came here to seek a breakthrough. As long as we don't go too deep into the inner circle, there won't be any major problems. The herbs I need are basically in the outer circle, and only one of them is at the junction of the outer and inner circles."

Natalia looked at everyone solemnly and said.

"Okay, now that we're here, are you planning to just turn back?

It would be better to collect the materials and go back as soon as possible."

Paros dug his ear with his thick index finger and said impatiently. He didn't seem to be worried at all, but Livia still saw a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes. This guy...

It seems to be hiding something...

But I didn't sense any extraordinary aura from him. He was just an ordinary person with a strong physique.

Livia frowned and didn't pay much attention to him.

"Okay, Honasan, have three guards carry the necessary tools and supplies and follow us. The other eight people will find a place to hide with the carriage and horses and wait for us."

Natalia gave orders to Honasan with an expressionless face, and Honasan responded and quickly made the arrangements. It seemed that he had already planned it.

Seeing the guards around him making preparations in an orderly manner, Livia also dismounted, took off the backpack hanging on the horse's back and put it on his back.

“By the way, don’t you have to worry about robbers?

The ones who stayed here?"

At this time, Caius suddenly asked in confusion.

He was not worried about the life or death of the guards, but he was worried that it would take two or three days to walk back without a horse, and it would be tiring, huh?

Except for the busy guards, everyone looked at him. "This place is quite remote and dangerous. Usually, few people come here. How could the robbers choose to come here? How come you don't even have this common sense?"

Paros said looking at him teasingly, he would taunt Caius whenever he got the chance.

This time, Caius didn't react to his ridicule. He frowned and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Tsk..." Seeing that he ignored him, Paros looked away with some boredom.

"Don't worry. As Paros said, generally no one comes here. We will return in three days at most, regardless of whether we have collected all the herbs we need."

Natalia said as she turned around and looked at the three guards who were already standing in front of her with large packages on their backs.

"Is everything ready?"

Honasan winked at the three guards in front of him, and the three of them quickly checked each other's packages.

"My lord, everything is ready."

After a moment, the three of them stood at attention and spoke.

Natalia nodded, walked to the front of the forest, turned around and looked at them. Everyone had already got off the horses and carriages and was ready.

"Then let's go!"
