Legendary Fighter
8. The Outer Layer of the Dead Forest
"Want to humiliate this young master, you must be kidding me!" Zhou Fan nodded with a small smile on his lips.
The visitors who saw the identification mark that was being thrown by the young man could only be surprised.
"It turns out that young man was one of the members of the Zhou Clan," their inner selves were all there.
Zhou Fan paid no heed to the expressions shown by all those visitors, he continued walking towards the cashier to order food.
"Good afternoon young master Zhou?" the girl who was the cashier to Zhou Fan and the young man only gave a nod in return.
"Whether you want to order food, our restaurant has some mainstay menu," said the cashier tried to offer special food there.
Zhou Fan also approved the suggestion of the cashier girl to order the mainstay menu offered to her.
After paying for what he ordered,
Zhou Fan decided to continue his journey, and he would look for lodging if it was getting dark.
Now Zhou Fan was already at one of the inns in the Permata Village,
the inn that Zhou Fan was occupying right now was a flamboyant inn.
Zhou Fan decided to continue his journey tomorrow morning after seeing that the sky already looked dark, would be dangerous
if Zhou Fan decided to continue on his way.
Finished checking his supplies he laid his body on the bed and decided to go to bed soon, for he would continue his journey when it was still morning.
Without waiting for a long time, the atmosphere inside Zhou Fan's room was quiet, only occasionally did Zhou Fan's breathing sound slow and orderly.
Zhou Fan was now already in his dream realm.
***
Without feeling that the night has changed in the morning and the sun has shown its charm, the streets of Permata Village look crowded with people passing by.
Inside the room that Zhou Fan was occupying right now was already nowhere to be seen, because the person who occupied it had left the room.
Now that Zhou Fan was downstairs at the flamboyant inn, he was on that floor looking for food for his breakfast.
When the food he ordered had been delivered by the waiter, without waiting for a long time Zhou Fan immediately ate the food on the table in front of him.
Just a few mouthfuls, Zhou fan stopped, picked up his food and looked at it closely.
"Huh..the food here is not so good," said Zhou Fan slowly, the young man put on a disappointed face.
But a while after Zhou Fan said that, the food in front of him had already been spent.
After finishing breakfast
he immediately rushed on his way to the dead forest.
On his way Zhou Fan still commented on the food provided by the flamboyant inn.
He never thought 'how could such food be said to be the best'.
As Zhou Fan was looking for lodging he heard there were some people who were talking about food about flamboyant inns that had very good food, Zhou Fan who was looking for an inn decided to go to a flamboyant inn.
"Think of thinking, the food made by the mother has a better taste," said Zhou Fan who compared the food made by the flamboyant inn to the food made by his mother.
Zhou Fan who was looking at the outer layer of the dead forest was intending to speed up his pace but Zhou Fan stopped his steps as the voice of someone called out to him.
"Young man, are you going there?" Suddenly a person's cry came from behind Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan turned around when he heard someone calling him, he saw a young man who looked about 80 years old looking at him while his index finger pointed towards the dead forest.
Feeling that the old man was talking to him, Zhou Fan answered the question that the old man said.
"Right grandfather, I'll go that way" Zhou Fan said politely, He was always taught by his parents to be polite to older people.
Hearing the words of the young man before him the old man was startled, but he immediately masked his shock by asking the young man a question
in front of him.
"Do you know what's in there?" asked the old man, he thought that the young man in front of him did not know there was a dead forest.
"Yes, that way it's going to the dead forest. I was indeed about to go there," Zhou Fan said calmly as he glanced towards the dead forest.
The old man was again surprised, when the young man in front of him said that he knew there was a dead forest.
What surprised him was, obviously, that there was a dead forest, but why would this young man still go there.
"Do you know why the forest is called a dead forest?" asked the old man to Zhou Fan.
"According to the rumors circulating if someone who has the cultivation level of a master fighter recklessly enters the dead forest only the outermost layer, the person will return with a state of concern....," obviously the old man was without waiting for Zhou Fan's reply.
Seeing the explanation of the old man in front of him that was not finished yet, Zhou Fan was silent as he looked at the old man's face before him.
"It's still better when compared to the deepest layers of dead forests, because
there are many level 3 beasts that have minimal strength equivalent to master level fighters and if you are unlucky you will meet a level four beast and above who has minimal strength equivalent to someone a grand master level fighting cultivator," obviously that old man was trying to shake Zhou Fan's resolve.
seeing the old man's explanation before him finished, Zhou Fan turned to the dead forest and said to the old man.
"I understand grandfather, but I will still go there," Zhou Fan said.
Hearing the young man's words before him, the old man glared, thinking that the young man in front of him would cancel his intention to go to the dead forest, after hearing his explanation, but what happened was not in accordance with his thinking.
"Huh .. alright if that's your decision," said the old man with a long sigh, then he turned away leaving Zhou Fan who was still looking at his departure.
The old grandfather passed still with a snobbed face, he grumbled along the way. "Young people are always 'excited'."
He had already seen many young men like Zhou Fan, wanting to enter the dead forest which in the end had never returned.
Though they had a master level combat cultivation, whereas now the one entering the dead forest was a young man who had no inner strength.
It will be over, the old man thought.
Zhou Fan who no longer found the old man's back turned around, looked towards the dead forest, then immediately continued on his way to the dead forest.
A while later Zhou Fan had reached the outer layer of the dead forest, the silent atmosphere made the border a sinister place.
Zhou Fan stood upright, his eyes far away looking forward, the young man inhaled a strong breath, then he jumped up while exclaiming loudly.
"Exercise starts...!"
