If you want to go to the Demon Capital, you must pass through the Misty Ghost Forest.
It can be said that this Misty Ghost Forest is the barrier to the Demon Clan’s capital.
The fact that Demon Emperor Potian entrusted such an important place to a mber of the Human Clan for guardianship shows how ambitious he must be?
However, Dao Luohen did not disappoint Potian. Although he felt no sense of belonging to the Demon Clan, he always fulfilled his promises without fail.
Dao Luohen has been guarding the Misty Ghost Forest for three hundred years without any incidents.
Sixty years ago, Demon Emperor Potian led an army to invade Jiuzhou but was defeated miserably and retreated in disgrace to the Demon Domain.
The True Immortal Alliance took this opportunity to lead the Human Clan’s experts in a counterattack. However, they were stopped by Dao Luohen outside the Misty Ghost Forest. A hundred thousand experts halted and returned without success.
The Demon Clan reveres the strong!
Through this ans, Dao Luohen earned the recognition of the Demon Clan’s higher-ups, and the hostility towards him gradually dissipated.
Many Demon Kings offered olive branches, hoping to befriend him.
Unfortunately, Dao Luohen remained unmoved.
Therefore, in the eyes of all the Demon Kings, Dao Luohen is loyal only to Demon Emperor Potian.
In fact, only Demon Emperor Potian knows that Dao Luohen is not loyal to any person or force.
If one must say, his whole life has been loyal only to his blade and to his own oath.
It was precisely this insight that led Demon Emperor Potian to risk the opposition of the demons, daringly promoting Dao Luohen, assigning him the critical task of guarding the Misty Ghost Forest.
Usually, few people venture here to disturb its deathly silence.
But on this day, four people arrived.
"Ahead is the Misty Ghost Forest. Once we cross it, we can reach the Demon Capital!"
Little Demon Immortal pointed to the towering trees, the clouds swirling, and the lush rain forest ahead, speaking to Li Chen, Lian Hongshang, and the others.
"Is this the Misty Ghost Forest?"
Xin Qingxue stared with wide eyes, exclaiming in awe.
She had long heard of the fa of the Misty Ghost Forest, but it was limited to word of mouth and descriptions in ancient books, and she had never seen it with her own eyes.
Today, she was fortunate enough to finally see its "true face," and the shock in her heart was imaginable?
Lian Hongshang had previously passed by the Misty Ghost Forest, so she wasn’t as surprised as Xin Qingxue.
Li Chen looked calm, his pupils slightly contracting, shooting out two bright rays of light, penetrating the front.
On the ice plains, he could see for thousands of miles.
But within the Misty Ghost Forest, visibility was less than ten miles. Even with the release of divine sense, it was blocked by the dense fog, and one could only scout the surrounding hundred or so miles. Beyond that, it was indeed beyond reach.
"This place is very eerie; everyone be careful!"
After speaking, Li Chen took large strides forward.
Little Dragon, though having formidable combat power, was an intelligence liability and too large a target, likely to startle others into action.
For this reason, Li Chen directly put it back into the Beast Pet Space.
After hearing Li Chen’s words, Lian Hongshang, Little Demon Immortal, and Xin Qingxue all nodded one after the other and walked side by side behind him.
Although the sun was already high, in this mist-entwined, eerie forest, one could not feel a hint of warmth. Above was a dark, oppressive sky.
The trees here were all ancient towering trees that had been growing for an unknown number of millennia, each hundreds of feet high, with roots like octopus tentacles, thick and twisted.
Above were thick and sturdy vines, woven densely like spider webs, truly blotting out the sun, with only the smallest, thinnest slivers of sunlight filtering through branch gaps, casting motley shadows on the ground, creating a sinister and eerie scene.
Underfoot were leaves accumulated over an unknown period, which, when stepped on, made a "creaking" sound, emitting a very unpleasant musty sll.
Occasionally, gusts of chilly wind arose, making the branches rustle and producing various strange and unusual sounds. There were female sighs, the cries of babies, the coughs of the elderly, and even pained howls and cries for help.
Even Little Demon Immortal, born and raised here, couldn’t help feeling a chill.
Xin Qingxue and Lian Hongshang were another matter entirely. Though neither was particularly timid, being surrounded by such a creepy environnt and hearing these terrifying sounds also caused them to display fear from deep within.
Only Li Chen remained relatively calm and composed.
However, his expression had also grown notably serious compared to before.
"Sothing’s happening, everyone be careful!"
Sure enough, before he even finished speaking, there ca a "hissing" sound from the front, growing louder and clearer.
"What sound is that?"
Xin Qingxue’s heart leapt into her throat as she asked nervously.
"It seems like Beauty Snakes!"
The answer ca from Little Demon Immortal.
As soon as Little Demon Immortal’s voice trailed off, eerie, sinister triangular heads began to erge from the canopy shadows.
Upon closer inspection, one could see countless vipers, their slimy, thin bodies hanging from branches or coiling around tree trunks.
These were monsters with human faces and snake bodies, their foreheads covered in colorful scales, gleaming in the faint sunlight, appearing nacingly terrifying.
"Are these the Beauty Snakes?"
Seeing the so-called "Beauty Snakes," even Li Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
"Hiss, hiss!"
"Hiss, hiss!"
As if sensing disdain in Li Chen’s words, the Beauty Snakes hanging from the branches began to flick their crimson tongues, their triangular heads slightly rearing back, their slim bodies tensed taut, adopting an aggressive stance as if ready to attack.
"Who are you, and why are you coming to the Misty Ghost Forest?"
The leading Flower-skinned Beauty Snake, its triangular eyes scrutinizing Li Chen and the others, issued a stern shout.
Little Demon Immortal stepped forward, responding, "I am Princess Little Demon Immortal, all of you stand aside for !"
Upon seeing Little Demon Immortal, the Huapi Beauty Snake appeared very shocked.
However, the surprise in her beastly eyes quickly transford into a burning greed.
There was an order from above: whoever captured Princess Little Demon Immortal could be granted nobility in the Demon Capital, potentially even becoming the new Demon Emperor and the Black Demon King’s direct disciple.
This was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity, a step to great power. No one could resist its temptation!
Especially for the Beauty Snakes who had always lived in the Misty Ghost Forest’s dark, harsh environnt, this prospect drove them mad.
The Flower-skinned Beauty Snake fixed her hollow green beast eyes on Little Demon Immortal. She now looked at her like a miser eyeing a mountain of gold, excitedly flicking her snake tongue.
"Hiss, hiss, truly a path to heaven you refuse to take, but you enter hell unbidden. Princess, you’d better obediently co back to the Demon Capital with , to et the Demon King!"
