Seeing Fang Zhixing’s stern expression and the faint killing intent rising from his body.
Yue Su’s eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn’t help asking, "Guest Elder Fang, how did you come to the Wild Forest?"
Fang Zhixing paused briefly, then spoke about the events leading up to their current situation.
After listening, Yue Su’s expression changed slightly. She couldn’t help asking, "Guest Elder Fang, had you made an enemy of anyone in the Extreme Yin Sect before?"
"Definitely not before,"
Fang Zhixing answered confidently, paused briefly, then added, "If anything, it might be Wang Jinxiong."
"The Yin Evil Cave number six that I was using was previously used by him, and he was very reluctant to give it up."
Yue Su nodded understandingly and said thoughtfully, "Wang Jinxiong is narrow-minded and retaliates over trivial matters. It is possible that he would take revenge.
If this matter truly was his doing, if he dares to harm such an esteemed guest, he will surely be severely punished."
Fang Zhixing’s gaze flickered. Was Wang Jinxiong really the one who had harmed him?
"Manipulating a tongueless boy to pose as a virgin boy, even laying poison in advance and timing the onset of the poison..."
Wang Jinxiong’s character is impulsive and fierce, his emotions plain to see, not seeming like a man with a plan, at best reckless but brave.
Such a fool, it would seem, should not be capable of devising such a meticulous scheme.
Fang Zhixing’s mind churned, and as he surveyed his surroundings, he noticed a massive assembly of skeletons gathering.
Seeing this, Fang Zhixing spoke, "Let’s not worry about these for now, this place isn’t safe to stay, we need to leave quickly."
He looked towards Yue Su, waiting for her to lead them out.
However, Yue Su took a battle stance, seemingly ready to fight to the death.
Fang Zhixing raised an eyebrow and asked, "Miss Yue Su, do you know how to leave this place?"
Yue Su showed a hint of difficulty, shaking her head, "If it were daytime, leaving the Wild Forest would be very easy, but now it’s night, and leaving the Wild Forest is almost impossible."
Fang Zhixing suddenly shivered.
Three days ago, when he and Fan Zhenglun arrived at the Extreme Yin Sect, it was some time in the afternoon.
By the time he entered the Extreme Yin Restricted Area and reached Yin Evil Cave number six, it was probably near evening or even nighttime.
By that reasoning, the current time must definitely be night.
However, the light in the Extreme Yin Restricted Area is dim, and being in the forest feels like perpetual night, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night.
Fang Zhixing quickly asked, "Is there really no way to leave the Wild Forest at night?"
Yue Su nodded, sighing, "Once night falls in the Wild Forest, all the paths within the forest disappear, trapping anyone inside, and not only is there no way out, but one will also face endless attacks from skeletons."
Fang Zhixing looked aside, "Are these skeletons never-ending?"
Yue Su continued, "Yes, the more skeletons you kill, the more they continue to appear, endlessly."
Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but draw in a breath, murmuring, "You know so much detail, it seems like someone must have survived the Wild Forest before, right?"
Yue Su’s lips curled into a helpless, bitter smile, "Yes, that person was my master. She endured the whole night until daylight, when the paths resurfaced, and she escaped the Wild Forest."
Fang Zhixing was completely speechless, exclaiming in astonishment, "So do you mean we have to fight here all night?"
Yue Su nodded, "There’s no other way."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhixing became suspicious, challenged her, "If that’s the case, why did you enter the Wild Forest?"
Yue Su responded directly, "I’ve already answered that question. I was just passing nearby, heard the sounds of combat, thought someone was trapped here, so I came to help."
Fang Zhixing was half-convinced. If Yue Su wasn’t lying, then she truly was a great and selfless hero.
The two no longer spoke, tacitly covering each other’s backs, confronting the attacking skeletons.
However, Fang Zhixing maintained a hint of vigilance, unleashing five of his six blood-colored tentacles and keeping one coiled by his side as a precaution.
The two fought side by side, clearing wave after wave of gathering skeletons.
[Kill of the same level of life +1...]
Every time Fang Zhixing killed a black-cloaked skeleton, the system panel lit up momentarily.
