"Hehe, senior Flame Dragon, if my guess is correct, these guys must have been misled by some kind of scene in the Misty Forest, otherwise they would never be acting like this?"
Although Liu Ziming was also extremely anxious, watching the group move at a snail's pace, he carefully sensed and observed them, realizing that they must be confused by the scenery; otherwise, they wouldn't be acting this way. "Holy crap, Spider Master, you're amazing! You even noticed something like this! Could this also be recorded on the map of the Monster Forest?"
The old Flame Dragon was truly incredulous at the sight of this young man, "177," who seemed to have anticipated all the good things. His eyes held a hint of admiration, though it wasn't explicitly expressed. "Old Flame Dragon, please step back a little. I want to test whether my guess is correct. If it is, then traversing this Misty Forest won't be too difficult for us."
The old Flame Dragon looked puzzled when he heard Liu Ziming say that, but he still leaned back, wondering what this guy was up to. He was really looking forward to seeing what he would do. "Heh, you dare to show off your petty tricks in front of me? It seems that you demons and monsters are really tired of living?"
The Flame Dragon Elder was completely taken aback when Liu Ziming's expression turned into a terrifying and ferocious one, as if possessed by an evil god. He felt waves of death slowly creeping over him. "My god, is this guy possessed by an evil god? Why is his aura so terrifying? It's beyond what I could handle before!"
Because everyone's cultivation level was severely suppressed to below level 7 in the Monster Forest, the Flame Dragon Elder was surprised to find that Liu Ziming did not seem to be suppressed at all. On the contrary, his abilities had improved a lot, exceeding his previous expectations and guesses.
He had no idea that when they killed those seventh-tier magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, Liu Ziming had unexpectedly gained value from their abilities. His Evil God Body, having absorbed too much energy, felt like it was about to explode. "Evil God Power, Destroy Heaven and Earth, Activate!"
With a loud shout from Liu Ziming, his hand transformed into a giant cleaver, which he slammed down into the mist before him.
"My God, what is this guy trying to do? Does he intend to kill the Giant Ape Senior and the Cat Angels as well? That's terrifying!"
As a member of the dragon race, the Flame Dragon Elder possessed terrifying abilities. However, he never expected that the energy emanating from Liu Ziming far exceeded his understanding of energy cultivation, giving off a sense of world-destroying power, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
With a loud bang, the Flame Dragon Elder instantly regained his senses. To his surprise, he discovered that the giant cleaver formed from Liu Ziming's hand had indeed cleaved through the fog in front of him. The Giant Ape Elder and the Cat Angel were standing there unharmed, looking dazed, not knowing what had happened.
"My God, this place is so strange. It actually made a loud bang. Did we all instantly perish?" The giant ape senior looked on in astonishment. He really couldn't believe where he was or if he was still alive.
Because everything in front of him was too real, with Liu Ziming and that old guy, the Flame Dragon, just a few dozen meters in front of him, smiling and watching him, he even doubted that the scene in front of him was real, that it must be an illusion, a misperception and illusion caused by the Misty Forest.
"How is this possible? What happened? Did Liu Ziming forcefully cleave open this huge void in the mist? That's terrifying!"
The giant ape and his companions stood there dumbfounded, staring at the scene before them. They felt that what they were seeing was too real; they even seemed somewhat incredulous…
"Senior Giant Ape, what are you all still standing there for? Do you really appreciate the scenery before you?"
Liu Ziming howled loudly, his shouts unchanged from before. He realized that after cleaving through the scene before him, the giant ape and the others were still standing there dumbfounded. Were they truly bewitched by the sight before them?
"My goodness, this is amazing! The misty void we're in was actually cleaved open by Liu Ziming with a single strike. So these guys really were ahead of the misty void?"
After all, Liu Ziming was shouting loudly, and the Giant Ape Senior didn't hesitate at all, leading a few dozen meters to run over quickly. A distance of several dozen meters was nothing to them. "You always act so mysterious! We almost couldn't get out of the Misty Void just now!"
Liu Ziming was completely taken aback when the cat first approached him, giving him a hard punch in the chest in a rather persistent manner. "Wow, what's this cat angel doing? Has it fallen for Liu Ziming? That's unbelievable!"
The seven-colored deer and the slime mirror stared wide-eyed, because they really couldn't believe that the cat angel, who was usually very reserved, was being so generous this time. They even couldn't believe their eyes, thinking that the scene before them was still an illusion.
"Ahem, what nonsense are you talking about? There's no fog or void in front of us. It's just that the fog is a bit darker. Are you being bewitched by what you see?" Liu Ziming was filled with doubt when he heard the cat angel say this, but he quickly figured it out.
"Haha, if I'm not mistaken, it must be your inner demons causing trouble. Otherwise, there's absolutely no way such a strange phenomenon could occur. When we came over, we didn't find any of these misty voids at all. Are you guys dreaming?"
Chapter 335 was far more difficult than imagined.
Hearing Liu Ziming say that, everyone looked puzzled. They had clearly experienced the allure of the Void of Mist, so why was this guy saying they hadn't? "You're the one talking nonsense in broad daylight! We clearly just experienced the Void of Mist, how can you say we didn't?"
The Slime Mirror was already quite upset when he saw the Cat Angel punch Liu Ziming in the chest, so he vented his anger, looking very unhappy. "That's right, we didn't lie. Senior Giant Ape was also in the Misty Void just now. If you don't believe me, ask him. He definitely wouldn't lie!"
Even the Seven-Colored Deer seemed a little flustered at this moment. He felt that Liu Ziming must think that these people were lying, so he immediately spoke up to explain, saying very anxiously.
"Hehe, I didn't say you were lying, it's just that your inner demons are acting up. If you were in the Enchanted Forest without any thoughts, those sights wouldn't have any effect on you at all. What exactly did you see or hear that made you act that way?"
Liu Ziming is starting to have some doubts. There must be something causing trouble in this misty forest, otherwise these people wouldn't be acting this way. After all, the giant ape senior is calm and experienced, and he would never lie.
"Hehe, little guy, it seems your guess was right. We heard your shouts just now, so we were very worried and thought something had happened to you. Sure enough, a misty void appeared, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." Hearing Liu Ziming's explanation, the giant ape senior found that everyone was fine, so he chuckled and put the matter behind him.
"Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing. After passing through the Misty Forest, everyone must be a bit tired. Luckily, I took some meat from the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, when I left. How about I give it to you to fill your stomachs?" No one expected that the Flame Dragon Elder, who usually seemed very stingy, would be so generous this time, secretly taking some meat from the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, to share with everyone, looking particularly happy.
Everyone took the meat of the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, handed over by the Flame Dragon Elder and stuffed it haphazardly into their mouths. After all, they had just digested a lot of energy in the Misty Forest and were under extreme mental stress. At this moment, the taste of the magical beast meat seemed even more delicious.
"Hehe, Senior Flame Dragon, you're so thoughtful. The meat of this seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, seems to taste even better than before?"
"That's right, that's right. Don't you even know who prepared it? That's meat from a seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, carefully roasted with flames by the Venerable Flame Dragon. Normally, you wouldn't even dream of eating it, let alone get to eat it."
"Haha, you guys have become so sweet-talking. Do you have some ulterior motive? Let me tell you, this is all I have. If you ever go hungry again, you'll have to go to that guy Liu Ziming. I can't do anything about it."
Everyone ate the meat of the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, with smiles on their faces. They quickly recovered their strength, and the fog in front of them thickened considerably, but the scene before them appeared even stranger.
"Don't be fooled by what we see. If we follow the map of the Warcraft Forest, we still haven't left the Misty Forest. This Misty Forest is much larger than we imagine. What we see may not be real. Please be careful."
Although everyone had just devoured the meat of the 7th-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, filling their bellies and restoring much of their strength, Liu Ziming did not take immediate action and instead allowed everyone to rest and recover in the same spot.
"You're always so suspicious. What's the big deal? Since what we're seeing isn't real, what's the point of us caring? It won't pose any other danger to us." Slime Mirror, always so carefree, mumbled as he ate some seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf.
Because he felt that since the scene in front of him was neither real nor illusory, he could simply split it open and that would be fine, so what was there to care about?
"Hehe, I advise you not to have such thoughts. If it were that simple, what would be the point of me reminding you? Don't underestimate these illusory scenes in front of you. Once you touch them, they might immediately become real." It's no wonder that the Slime Mirror had such a bizarre idea. Everyone else thought the same way, but when they heard Liu Ziming say this, everyone fell silent, their expressions becoming particularly solemn.
"My goodness, just how big is this Misty Forest? When will we be able to get out? I don't want to stay in here any longer. I'm so paranoid, and sooner or later I'll be exhausted by it. What will I do then?"
Seeing everyone looking at him strangely, Slime Mirror sighed inwardly. After all, he was really tired of the Misty Forest now, but there was nothing he could do. According to Liu Ziming, the Misty Forest was very large and it wasn't so easy to get out. He could only take it one step at a time.
"Hehe, but everyone, don't worry. As long as you follow my instructions, there won't be any unexpected situations. If there are any discrepancies in the map of the Warcraft Forest, it shouldn't be a big problem."
It has to be said that Liu Ziming is quite mischievous, but he always keeps his words in check. He wouldn't dare to be so hesitant, because if other unexpected situations arise and become uncontrollable, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it when everyone complains. "What you said is no different from nothing at all, it's all nonsense, what's the point of saying it?"
Liu Ziming never expected that when he kindly reminded everyone, Slime Mirror would just roll his eyes at him and look very disdainful.
"Hehe, everyone, stop arguing. Now that you've regained your strength by eating the flesh of the demonic wolf, you should rest for a while. Don't worry, I'll wake you up quickly if any unexpected situations arise," the giant ape senior said with a smile, appearing particularly composed. He felt that everyone really needed to rest for a while, as no one could withstand such high tension all the time.
Now that the giant ape had spoken, everyone fell silent and closed their eyes to rest.
Chapter 336 Opportunities always come with unexpected events
"Hehe, little guy, you must be exhausted too. Get some rest. Leave these things to me, no problem at all. Even if I don't sleep for days and nights, I won't get tired. After all, I've already devoured so much meat from the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf. My stamina and energy are still high."
Liu Ziming never expected that the giant ape senior would be so mischievous, constantly reminding him with his eyes to rest quickly. He didn't know why the giant ape senior would do this.
Actually, no one knows why the Great Ape did this, but there must be a reason. Only the Great Ape himself knows why.
Fortunately, nothing too unexpected happened during their rest period, and even the surrounding scenery remained largely unchanged, appearing remarkably peaceful.
"Wow, after resting for a while, I feel refreshed and energetic. I feel like I've been fully recharged, and my energy is incredibly abundant. It seems that the meat of this 7th-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, is indeed extraordinary?"
When the old Flame Dragon opened his eyes, he felt exceptionally comfortable. After all, as a member of the dragon race, he possessed a powerful foundation. If he felt this way, the others would undoubtedly feel even better. "Hehe, you old codger, you've finally rested well. I've been so tired lately. Can you keep an eye on things for me a little longer while I doze off?"
The old Flame Dragon never expected that the first thing he would do when he opened his eyes was to receive such a huge burden. He looked particularly helpless. What could he do? It was his senior, the Giant Ape, who had been standing guard for him while he was resting.
"You absolutely mustn't make a sound. These kids haven't rested well yet; they might need a long rest period. If anything unexpected happens, you must wake them immediately." The Flame Dragon elder was completely taken aback that the Giant Ape elder would still remind him even while resting. He rolled his eyes at him, looking quite unconvinced. "If you're so worried, you can continue standing guard. Why bother me? You really think too highly of yourself."
Although the old Flame Dragon was speechless inside, he had to maintain his dignity as a senior figure, otherwise how could he stay in this team?
Time passed slowly, and after about thirty or forty minutes, everyone woke up from their rest, looking exceptionally refreshed, their spirits and energy fully restored. "Wow, this rest has been the best I've ever had! My whole body feels like it's working invisibly, as if some invisible magic is surrounding me, leaving me feeling incredibly clear-headed!"
"Haha, I thought I was the only one who felt this way, but I didn't expect you to feel it too. That's great! It seems we lost some of our previous abilities, but after consuming the flesh of the 7th-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, we've been fully revived. That's wonderful!" "What nonsense are you two talking about? Although this feeling is very comfortable, it seems like there's some kind of energy slowly pulling us along. I wonder if it has anything to do with the mist in front of us?"
After everyone woke up, they discussed it amongst themselves. Although the fog in front of them had thinned out a bit, it was still there. Although they felt much better and even had a feeling of breakthrough, they dared not let their guard down in this magical beast forest.
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Flame Dragon! It's really hard to bear to see you standing guard for us at your age. It's all our fault for being too lazy to sleep, isn't it?" Liu Ziming said to Senior Flame Dragon with an embarrassed expression on his face, scratching his head as if he was very ashamed.
The Flame Dragon Elder readily accepted the feelings expressed by Liu Ziming, after all, he had also worked very hard, but he appeared very polite in his words.
"Hehe, it's nothing. You young people always like to eat and sleep a lot, it's normal. I'm already so old, a little sleep is enough for me, it's no big deal." Looking at the smug expression on the Flame Dragon Elder's face, the Giant Ape Elder ignored him and kept muttering to himself.
"You always like to show off in front of others, what's the use? If you can lead everyone out of this misty forest, I'll admire you." The giant ape elder didn't know why, but seeing the fire dragon's smug expression made him particularly uncomfortable.
The Flame Dragon seemed completely unconcerned about the Giant Ape Elder's dissatisfaction and teasing. After all, everyone was showering him with the most flattering words, which he gladly accepted. "Heh, perhaps some people didn't receive such blessings and are feeling a bit uncomfortable. I won't stoop to their level."
Seeing that the Flame Dragon Elder and the Giant Ape Elder were starting to get heated, Liu Ziming quickly spoke up to stop them. Although he was speechless, he had no choice. He didn't want the two of them to start fighting like this and it would never end. He was really annoyed.
"Ahem, now that we've rested enough, the psychedelic scene before us seems a bit eerie. Everyone, be careful, shall we set off immediately?"
In fact, the Flame Dragon Elder and the Giant Ape Elder knew that Liu Zimeng was in such a hurry to set off because of their bickering, but they didn't say anything more. "My goodness, look at those beautiful flowers blooming ahead! They even have seven colors! They're absolutely gorgeous!"
Perhaps it's because girls are naturally sensitive to flowers, but the cat angel and the seven-colored deer all noticed at the same time that a dazzling seven-colored flower had appeared before their eyes, and they looked quite surprised.
"Holy crap, the appearance of this seven-colored flower is too strange. It must be the effect of the Misty Forest, otherwise how could it suddenly appear?"
As Liu Ziming heard the cat angel's loud call, he discovered that a seven-colored flower had indeed appeared before him, blooming with dazzling colors that were mesmerizing.
"Spider Master, this seven-colored flower is acting strangely. It's definitely not real. Why don't you go up and test it yourself to see what's going on?"
Liu Ziming never expected that the girl, the Slime Mirror, would actually push him and ask him to investigate. Suddenly, seven-colored flowers appeared. What kind of strange thing was this? His heart was filled with helplessness.
Chapter 337 The Mysterious Elf Race
Despite feeling utterly helpless, Liu Ziming still took out a map of the Monster Forest from his pocket and began searching carefully. He wanted to know exactly what the remarkable seven-colored flower in front of him was. After about two or three minutes, he actually found the answer on the map of the Monster Forest.
"Haha, we've really struck gold this time! This seven-colored flower that suddenly appeared is actually the flower of the Elf race, called the Enchanting Seven-Colored Journey!"
When everyone heard Liu Ziming shouting that the seven-colored flower was actually the flower of the Elf race, the enchanting seven-colored journey! Their eyes widened in disbelief; they couldn't believe they had encountered something so mysterious. "You stinky spider, are you kidding me? How could this possibly be the flower of the Elf race? How could it be here? You're definitely making this up!"
Liu Ziming really didn't expect that after painstakingly searching the map of the Monster Forest for a long time, he would finally find out what these seven-colored stone flowers were. But this slime guy didn't believe him and kicked him hard in the butt with great force, making him wince in pain.
180 "What exactly are you trying to do? I went through all that trouble to find this thing and you still don't believe me? You even kicked me! Do you have some other ulterior motive? Or do you want to monopolize the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the shrewd race?" Everyone says the slime hates Liu Ziming, and when he said these words, he didn't leave the slime any room to maneuver, directly shifting such a huge burden onto him. How could he accept that? "You! You! You're utterly slanderous! That's not what I thought at all! I just think what you said is nonsense without any basis. Otherwise, why don't you show everyone the map of the Monster Forest?" Liu Ziming never expected that he had only wanted to tease the slime. He actually turned on him, wanting him to produce the map of the Monster Forest. How could this be allowed?
Seeing Liu Ziming's somewhat embarrassed expression and hypocritical behavior, the Slime Mirror became even more smug. He thought he had found the guy's weakness, and his expression became even more triumphant.
"If you have nothing to hide, why don't you do as I say? Show us the map of the Warcraft Forest. We're not stupid; what's there that we can't understand?"
Seeing the slime relentlessly pressing forward, Liu Ziming was truly at a loss. He simply spread the map of the Monster Forest on the ground, pointed at it, and gestured for everyone to take a good look. "Holy crap, this guy actually did it! Looks like the map of the Monster Forest isn't all that amazing after all, otherwise this guy definitely wouldn't have done this?"
It has to be said that Slime Mirror is really a bit crazy, and her brain often seems to short-circuit. When Liu Ziming laid out the map of the Monster Forest on the ground, everyone's face showed surprise, because they couldn't understand it at all.
"Hehe, Spider Master, I'm really sorry, it's not what I wanted to see, and I can't understand anything about it. You should put it away quickly."
The moment the map of the Warcraft Forest was instantly revealed, the old Flame Dragon's gaze swept over it. However, he found that he couldn't understand a single word, and his heart was filled with doubt. That's why he smiled and spoke, putting on a kind old man's act.
"That's right, that's right, it's all that crazy girl Slime Mirror's fault, otherwise we wouldn't have thought that way. You should put it away quickly, if such a precious thing is laid on the ground, it will be troublesome if it gets damaged or dirty." Senior Giant Ape also glanced at the map of the Monster Forest, but couldn't understand anything, so he simply rolled it up with his hands and stuffed it into Liu Ziming's arms, looking very sincere.
He also wanted to know what was recorded on the map of the Warcraft Forest, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it.
Seeing the somewhat bewildered expressions on everyone's faces, Liu Ziming became even more smug. Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to show everyone the map of the Monster Forest; it was just that the runes on the map were completely incomprehensible to them, and only he himself could decipher their meaning.
"Hehe, since everyone is so interested in the map of the Warcraft Forest, I might as well give you a simple explanation, so that you won't be so suspicious of me. Unlike some people who are always targeting me, it's really annoying."
As Liu Ziming said these words, he glared fiercely at the crazy girl, Slime Mirror. If it weren't for her, how could he have taken out the map of the Monster Forest? Now look what's happened, none of you can understand it, but it has nothing to do with me?
"Hehe, Spider Boss, as for what exactly is recorded in the Warcraft Forest map, you don't need to tell us. We just need to follow your orders and we won't have any doubts. Please don't think that way." At this moment, Cat Angel actually seemed very sensible, looking at Liu Ziming's expression with the look of a little fangirl.
"Actually, the mechs in the Warcraft Forest are nothing more than different levels of magical beasts. But there's one thing everyone needs to know: the Elf race actually lives in the Warcraft Forest. The Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey before us is the Elf's Candle Flower. As for why it's here, I'm also quite surprised."
Although no one could understand the map of the Warcraft Forest, Liu Ziming still started talking and slowly explained it to everyone. In fact, what everyone was most interested in was the Elf race, after all, this race was too mysterious and no one knew where they lived.
"My goodness, Spider Master, you even know about the Elf race, that's amazing!"
Seeing the cat angel acting like a little fangirl, Slime Jing became even more unhappy. Ever since they came out of the misty cave, he had noticed that the cat angel's gaze towards Liu Ziming was definitely different.
But there was no other way now, since only Liu Ziming could understand what was recorded on the map of the Warcraft Forest. He could only listen slowly.
Before arriving in this alien world, these people had only learned about the elves from news reports and newspapers.
Chapter 338 A Spiritual, Colorful, and Enchanting Journey
"Hehe, Spider Master, I'm a little embarrassed to interrupt you for a moment. I have too many misunderstandings about the elves. Why do they live in the Demon Beast Forest? Why don't they live in the Demon King's City? Wouldn't that be better? This place is dark all the time, and it's not suitable for elves to live in at all?"
