Capítulo 1507: Chapter 1478: An Unexpected Encounter
“So, is this Moonlight Forest really that scary?”
In the deep forest, two humans and a wolf moved forward, and the man ahead suddenly asked.
“I’ve also read about it in books, they say it’s one of the forbidden areas for the Human Race on the Tianshang Star Continent…” A young girl behind him said softly, but she didn’t sound very confident.
“Awooo~~” A giant snow-white wolf expressed its opinion.
“Uh…” Li Chen scratched his head awkwardly and translated for Xuan Ming: “Xuan Ming says Moonlight Forest is vast, not all areas have Celestial Demon Beasts or Foreign Races residing, so we’ve been lucky these past few days.”
“Seems like the books weren’t wrong.” Li Youxue affird her thought, nodding forcefully.
“It’s right, but don’t you think the paths we’ve walked these days have been too quiet?” Li Chen asked.
Hearing this, Li Youxue frowned slightly: “Now that you ntion it, that does make so sense. Even if we don’t see Celestial Demon Beasts, there should be other Demon Beasts, why have we barely seen any in these days?”
“No beasts at all?” Li Chen asked.
“Nonsense.” Li Youxue replied irritably: “You don’t even consider what kind of place Moonlight Forest is, can ordinary beasts survive here? Really, lacking basic common sense, and yet you’ve cultivated to such strength.”
“Alright.” Li Chen admitted he was clueless.
Indeed, he was quite knowledgeable in the Main World, but here, he’s still ignorant.
Often, Li Chen felt like a scholar eting a soldier.
Communicating with these muscle-heads was practically impossible!
Just then, Xuan Ming suddenly twitched its nose and stopped.
“What did you find?” Li Chen quickly looked at Xuan Ming beside him, lowered his body along with it, and asked.
“Woo woo~~” Xuan Ming whimpered softly.
Li Chen’s face imdiately turned serious.
“What’s wrong, what did you find?” Li Youxue asked quickly upon seeing Li Chen’s expression.
“Found nothing at all.” Li Chen replied.
Li Youxue initially thought Li Chen was joking and was about to slap him, but seeing his serious expression, she fell silent.
“Seems my guess was right.” Li Chen shook his head with a grim look: “The fact that we’ve discovered nothing these past few days isn’t because we stumbled upon a place devoid of Demon Beasts, but because… the Demon Beasts in this entire area have been abducted!”
“Abducted?”
Hearing this, Li Youxue was startled.
Where are they?
Moonlight Forest! A forbidden land for the Human Race! A paradise for Demon Beasts!
But, what could possibly abduct Demon Beasts and Celestial Demon Beasts freely from such a place?
The two exchanged a glance, almost simultaneously seeing the answer in each other’s eyes.
Foreign Races!
Without a doubt, apart from more powerful Celestial Demon Beasts, only Foreign Races could achieve this.
Typically powerful Celestial Demon Beasts remain in their territory, rarely leaving. Even if they need to eat, they usually only casually hunt so nearby creatures, and wouldn’t wipe out an entire area’s wildlife in one go.
Eating everything at once ans nothing left for later.
The wisdom of powerful Celestial Demon Beasts is often not inferior to, and possibly even higher than, the Human Race, so they understand this logic.
Thus, there’s only one answer.
“During these days, Xuan Ming detected so strange odors, while devoid of blood, they certainly weren’t the scent of flowers or grass,” Li Chen said.
“However, these odors were generally faint, likely to disappear completely in a few days. And just now, Xuan Ming slled that odor again, and this ti, it’s obviously recent with a strong scent.” Li Chen said solemnly.
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Li Youxue’s expression turned serious too.
If it really is Foreign Races, then they…
Li Chen cautiously whispered to Li Youxue: “Be careful of the surroundings, if any movent…”
“No need to be careful.”
Before Li Chen finished his sentence, a cold voice rang from above.
The next mont, Li Chen felt an overwhelming pressure from the sky.
His subconscious reflex from nurous life-and-death situations was astonishingly quick.
Before his mind even had ti to process, Li Chen instinctively punched upwards.
“Boom!!”
Colliding with Li Chen’s fist was another fist.
In almost an instant, Li Chen was sent flying, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
At the sa ti, Li Youxue was also affected, being thrown out by the shockwave.
Only Xuan Ming managed to firmly stabilize his body in place, letting out a low growl towards the sudden figure behind.
“Oh? A Heaven Following Realm human, able to withstand my punch head-on without dying? Interesting!”
A soft voice of surprise ca from the air, as a black-robed figure slowly descended.
Li Chen struggled to get up from the ground, with fractures in his arm bones and significant internal injuries from the shockwave. Squinting slightly at the black-robed figure descending from the sky, Li Chen gathered a lot of information from just one confrontation.
This person, at most, was at the Late Heaven Following Phase, not reaching the Higher Heaven Realm. However, their physical power was not weaker than his, and clearly, this Late Heaven Following Phase was different from the Old Face man Li Chen had seen before.
This black-robed figure was much more formidable!
“In light of you surviving my punch, I agree to let you beco my Battle Servant, how about that?” The figure wrapped in the black robe looked at Li Chen, their eyes burning silently like two ghostly flas.
“Battle Servant?” Li Chen stood up, looking at the black-robed figure before him. Although he didn’t know what a Battle Servant was, the word ‘Servant’ explained quite a lot.
“Du Zhiteng, as it happens, I also fancy this human, how about you let have him?” Before Li Chen could speak, another voice ca from the air.
A blue-robed young man with simply tied long hair appeared.
The young man in a blue robe gently waved a paper fan in his hand, looking sowhat frail. However, from his tone speaking to the black-robed figure, it was clear he was not afraid of him.
Moreover, from the disdainful tone when he ntioned ‘human’, it was clear he wasn’t of the Human Race either!
“Lacktooth, your teeth haven’t grown back yet, right? Are you sure you want to fight with ?” The cold voice of the black-robed figure ca out.
Upon hearing the black-robed figure’s words, the young man in the blue robe’s face grew colder.
Since his appearance, he always wore a smile but didn’t show his teeth because he was missing a few, which had been knocked out by soone. The special power contained in them prevented new teeth from growing, which was his humiliation!
The na ‘Lacktooth’ was also an insult to him!
“Du Zhiteng, with your deanor, do you have the guts to show your face to others and still dare to laugh at ?” the blue-robed youth said coldly.
“What did you say?”
The black-robed figure Du Zhiteng said in a deep voice, “This Great Competition of Hundred Clans in the Moonlight Forest is based on individual skill, if you have the ability, go ahead and seize him!”
The blue-robed youth seed a bit wary of Du Zhiteng, thought for a mont before speaking, “That girl and the Divine Wind Wolf King are not bad either, the human is yours, how about you give the other two to ? As a promise, next ti we encounter an opponent, I can join forces with you.”
Du Zhiteng thought for a mont, then nodded, “Alright.”
“Alright, your mother!”
A voice, indifferent yet scornful, reached the ears of both of them simultaneously.
Below, they saw that the human who had been knocked down was sohow standing up again, a sharp blood-colored long saber in his hand.
“Do you two freaks think it’s that simple to just divvy us up? Did you even ask my opinion?”
Li Chen was truly angry.
One of these guys had ambushed him while the other imdiately acted like they were distributing spoils. Do I really look like a stolen object?
What do these guys take us for?
“Human brat, you are looking for…” Du Zhiteng was furious. Although he did want a powerful Battle Servant, one could be defiant but not as disrespectful as this guy in front of him; he should definitely teach him so rules.
“No more words, daddy loves you!”
Before Du Zhiteng could finish speaking, Li Chen unexpectedly charged up into the air, swinging his saber at Du Zhiteng.
Li Chen’s actions weren’t without consideration.
If not, he could have acted earlier. He kept silent just to gather so information.
Apparently, in this area, it wasn’t just one race but a whole group of foreign races conducting this Great Competition of Hundred Clans.
If that’s the case, then Li Chen really had no qualms.
Since it’s the Great Competition of Hundred Clans, it’s likely on equal terms, either in age or cultivation.
The appearance of these two already indicated this matter.
For Li Chen, as long as it wasn’t those deeply cultivated old guys making a move, he feared nothing.
After listening to these two boast for a long ti, Li Chen had had enough. In the past, he’d have already gone up to chop them without saying a word, but he held back for intelligence.
Now, there was no need to hold back anymore.
“Weren’t you arrogant just now?” Li Chen looked at Du Zhiteng who dodged, sneering, “Co on, let take a slash at you. If you don’t die, I’ll agree to you being my son.”
“You’re courting death!” Under the black robe, Du Zhiteng’s expression was unclear, but he must have been furious now. A re Battle Servant daring to be so audacious.
“Xuan Ming, You Xue, block this gender-ambiguous blue-clad Lacktooth for , let take care of this guy first!” Li Chen glanced at the blue-robed youth watching the play from the side, casually saying.
The blue-robed youth’s face stiffened.
“What did you just call ?!”
