chapter 366 part 2
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The dense grass thickets and shrubs began to stir, and all the insect chirping and bird calls vanished in an instant.
One after another, Demonic Wolves with jet-black fur darted rapidly through the jungle, approaching the direction of Blue Rose and the others.
Tina spoke up, "They're in all four directions."
"The number is over thirty. It should be a large pack of Demonic Wolves," Tina said flatly.
"Haha."
Gagaran took the giant shattering hammer from her shoulder, a fiery look on her face. "No wonder there weren't many monsters nearby. I can finally stretch my muscles."
Lakyus's beautiful emerald eyes swept over them. "Since we can't avoid them, let's make it a quick battle. Evileye, you be on guard!"
"Alright, Captain!"
"Roger!"
As soon as the words fell.
Lakyus and the other three charged in different directions, instantly clashing with the pack of Demonic Wolves.
The whistling of swung weaponry and the miserable cries of the Demonic Wolves suddenly erupted in the forest!
In just a few moments.
The more than thirty Demonic Wolves had been annihilated, and the bloody scent now hung in the jungle.
"Ibiruai, I'll leave the rest to you." Lakyus pulled the magic sword from the head of a Demonic Wolf and looked up in Evileye's direction.
Evileye nodded and chanted softly, "Scentless."
Swish!
An invisible wave of magic power spread out, and the bloody scent in the air was quickly eliminated.
"Since there's a large pack of Demonic Wolves here, it means we're approaching the depths of the Great Forest of Tob."
Gagaran emerged from another part of the jungle, grinning. "Maybe we'll run into the legendary Wise King of the Forest soon."
Lakyus had a thoughtful expression and waved her arm forward.
The members of Blue Rose gathered together again and continued their advance into the depths.
The lush trees with their dense foliage grew taller and taller.
Even during the day, the thick canopy of tree leaves blocked the light, making the surroundings increasingly dim.
"What's wrong, Fiend Leader?" Gagaran noticed Lakyus's furrowed brow.
"Something feels strange, but I can't put my finger on it," Lakyus opened her mouth, then shook her head, her fair cheeks tense.
She kept feeling that this Great Forest of Tob exuded a strange, inexplicable eeriness!
Tia and Tina also shed their previous relaxed attitudes, constantly and vigilantly observing their surroundings.
"My intuition tells me there's definitely something wrong here," said Tina.
"A woman's sixth sense?" Gagaran grunted strangely.
"Don't you have one, you big oaf?"
Tina retorted with a taunt.
"The mission the Adventurer's Guild gave us is to investigate the depths of the Touv Great Forest. The reason given was the abnormality over the past six months."
Tia stopped Gagaran and Tina's bickering and began to analyze in a low voice:
"According to the current information, over the past six months, the villages surrounding the Touv Great Forest have rarely been attacked by monsters."
"While this is a good thing, it's strange compared to previous years."
The group fell into a brief silence.
Clearly, none of them could determine the cause.
"Speaking of which, *Free Will* has already beaten us to the punch and become the Kingdom's second Adamantite-rank adventurer team," Gagaran said, pouting with some annoyance.
"The undead incident in the Abelion Hills..."
"That Leader Tang is truly amazing."
Lakyus suddenly seemed dejected, her shoulders slumping. "Seriously, they beat us to it."
"Haha, but we're right behind them now!"
"As long as we complete this investigation mission, we should have enough to be promoted to an Adamantite-rank adventurer team. So cheer up, Fiend Leader!" Gagaran encouraged her cheerfully.
"You're right!"
A bright light shone in Lakyus's emerald pupils. Her spirits began to lift, and she clenched her fist, psyching herself up.
Suddenly.
"We should be deep within the Touv Great Forest by now, right?"
Evileye, who had been silent all this time, spoke flatly, "Have you not noticed that the number of monsters is even lower than on the outskirts?"
The sudden reminder.
Made Lakyus, Gagaran, and the others freeze for a moment before they also realized it.
"No wonder something felt off," Tina said thoughtfully.
"*Life Detection*!"
Evileye directly activated her magic, chanting softly.
A faint wave of magic power rapidly spread, surging into the depths of the jungle.
"H-How is this possible!" Evileye's voice suddenly rose, her tone filled with incredulous agitation.
"What is it, Evileye?"
Lakyus's expression tightened as she quickly asked.
Gagaran, Tina, and Tia remained on guard as they also looked over, their bodies tense.
For Little One to be this incredulous, it must be an unexpected situation that surpassed all their predictions.
"To the northeast, there are several thousand—no, tens of thousands of life energy readings!"
Evileye raised her head to look northeast, her voice full of confusion and shock.
"Tens of thousands?"
Lakyus's expression was slightly dazed.
None of them had expected something like this. Tens of thousands of life energy readings clustered together, and in the depths of the Touv Great Forest at that—it seemed impossible no matter how you thought about it.
The group exchanged glances.
They simultaneously quickened their pace, rapidly approaching the location Evileye had detected.
A rotten, foul stench began to grow stronger!
The lush shrubs and grass thickets were even beginning to show signs of withering and yellowing.
On an undulating hill near a fissure in the forest.
Lakyus and the other three were covering their noses, staring in astonishment at the area below the hill, from which the foul stench was emanating.
Countless green figures were gathered there, making noisy "warra warra" sounds, while black swarms of mosquitoes and flies, like Dark Clouds, filled the air.
As far as the eye could see, there were only Goblins!
"This is the depths of the Touv Great Forest. Why are there so many Goblins here?"
Gagaran had a dazed expression as she asked the question.
However!
No one present could answer this question.
"Could the abnormality in the Touv Great Forest be related to these Goblins?" Tina muttered to herself in confusion, holding her nose tightly.
But then again, she felt that a weak race like Goblins shouldn't have anything to do with it.
"Perhaps..." Lakyus whispered, but before she could finish her sentence, an icy chill suddenly shot up her spine and straight into her mind.
*Vmmm—*
Ripples appeared in the air out of nowhere.
A figure in a full-body red robe appeared behind Blue Rose and the others.
Evileye reacted instantly and was just about to cast magic.
"*Undead Control*!"
A hoarse voice rang out, and Evileye's body stiffened.
