The Ruler

The Ruler
221. Entering the Dark Forest.


Above the tomb.


Qing Ruo and her entourage who were hiding inside a niche, were shocked by the gigantic explosion that shook the place.


" Ruler, self-destruction technique," Long Yu Wei said.


" This is our chance" said Qing Ruo, who did not want to waste the opportunity while unsealing the spell that closed the door of the tomb, while Long Yu Wei and his entourage who felt confident that the figure inside the tomb was injured, immediately moved into the tomb.


" Swhus.swhus.." They jumped into the tomb. While Qing Ruo is in charge of guarding the niche, preparing to face the relief forces of dark animals who might come back after hearing the sound of such a terrifying explosion.


***


In the tomb.


The two great generals of the dark animal floated on the water with their bodies torn apart.


" Fuck god!" Mao Teng cursed while recuperating.


" Using a forbidden technique, is really embarrassing!" mao Cheng said.


At the moment when they were recuperating, they were suddenly startled by the appearance of Long Yu Wei and the entourage that instantly unleashed its peak attack.


" Cap***t turns out you're-"


" Dhuar.dhuar...." The fierce explosion reverberated, with the silver tread attack released by Long Fu and Long Qe, and the lightning ice tread that Long Yu Wei unleashed struck the figures of Mao Cheng and Mao Teng, respectively, the wounds that have not healed are getting worse.


" Non't be ashamed!" mao Cheng said while using the rest of his strength to put up a fight.


" Now!" long Yu Wei said while releasing the sword slash Xue Luo suddenly appeared in his hand, ignoring Mao Cheng who was cursing, then followed Long Qe who also beheaded Mao Teng.


" Sister, I did not find Kongqi Duyun's storage ring," Long Fu said.


" Suadara, the city does not linger in that place" Long Yu Wei and his entourage said, carrying the bodies of the two dark-eyed black cats.


" Swhus..swhus.." their figure appears in the niche.


" Login!" Said Qing Ruo who had been waiting by opening the dimensional gate of the soul world.


" Swhuss.. swhus.." their figure disappears in the world of the soul.


Without wanting to linger, Qing Ruo also directly moved leaving the place.


" Swhus.." his figure darted, leaving the place.


A minute later after Qing Ruo left.  Five giant black snakes that were low-level generals of the dark animal army, appeared at that place.


" Swhuss...." They move, check the niche.


" Si*l this niche is sealed!" Irritably.


" Attack!" say the others, while taking off the attack.


Not long after, three semi-eternal figures of level nine stage peak appeared.


" Great General Bing, they're inside." said the giant black snake.


" It seems we're late. The Jade badge of the souls of General Teng and General Cheng had been destroyed" he said, hoping the killer's figure was still inside the tomb.


****


Somewhere else. (Live forest border).


On a giant tree. Long Chen and Yanshi Gong looked so agitated that an omnipotent explosion had previously been heard at his hiding place.


" Mister Long Chen, are we going back to check?" With a worried face.


" Mister Yanshi Gong, don't be rash. If we go back, we'll make it harder for the young master." While trying to stay calm.


" But sir...."


" Mister, I am even more worried, but the young master has not yet given any sign of danger. That means he is fine" said Long Chen who was also calming himself.


" What should we do then?"


" Sir, relax. We should wait for some time, If the young master does not come, then the choice is to return," Long Chen replied with a careless mind.


****


Somewhere else.


Qing Ruo continued to move towards the borders of the living forest. With the strength of a tier six immortal intermediate stage, his speed had also now increased by fivefold.


" Swhuss....." His figure continued to move among the giant trees.


Twenty minutes later, Qing Ruo finally saw a giant tree marked with a golden seal.


" Swhus...." His figure approached the tree. However not until Qing Ruo arrived at that place did the figures of Long Chen and Yanshi Gong appear, welcoming his arrival with panicked faces.


" Young master, what happened?" ask Yanshi Gong.


" Older, I'll explain later, we'd better leave this place first."


" Good." Then move, leading the group into the living forest area.


" Swhus.. swhus.." their figures darted out moving away from the place.


" Young master, be careful. Do not touch this part of the trees, because one tree that is touched, it will activate the entire expanse of this living forest." Yanshi Gong explained, being so shocked when he saw Qing Ruo's speed increase to five times that of his previous speed.


" Alright, Qing Ruo replied as she continued to move.


" Lord, what happened before?" long Chen asked through telepathy.


" I have pitted the two black cats against Kongqi Duyun," Qing Ruo replied explaining.


" What about the outcome of the battle?" Increasingly curious.


" The previous tremendous explosion had injured both black cats."


" Did the ruler seize the opportunity?"


" Of course. The two Pearls of their souls are mine," Qing Ruo replied chuckling, making Long Chen happy as well.


" The journey through this place is truly incredible, but what about the resources Kongqi Duyun has?" ask Long Chen.


" Long Fu failed to find him, most likely the ring was destroyed," Qing Ruo replied.


" It's unfortunate. I'm sure Kongqi Duyun definitely has a high level of resources," Long Chen said as he continued moving.


All the time, they continued to move through the living forest without speaking a word. Until late in the afternoon when they were about to get out of the forest area, suddenly the giant tree in front of them moved.


" Young master, someone has touched this tree," Yanshi Gong said seriously.


" Keep moving. We need to get out of this forest immediately" Qing Ruo said.


" Young Master, Jagan.." yanshi Gong shouted frantically as Qing Ruo suddenly fired her sword shot Xue Luo, who moved ahead of them.


" Dhuar...." A fierce explosion resounded, as the sword slashed and cut through each branch of the tree that began to form giant tendrils that moved shut the direction of Qing Ruo and his entourage.


Ten seconds later, the sound of a fierce explosion echoed behind Qing Ruo and his entourage.


" It turns out there are other figures who are chasing us" said Long Chen.


" Right, and the living Tree has helped us to hold them," Qing Ruo said.


" Swhussis..... Swhus.." -...." The figures of Qing Ruo and the entourage darted out of the forest.


" Eventually" said Yanshi Gong with a happy face.


" Older, my previous attack was to activate this area of living forest," Qing Ruo explained her actions.


" Young master is right. Otherwise, we wouldn't know that there are those who are moving after us." then keep moving away from that place.


" Swhuss...."  They continued to move, until towards nightfall, they finally arrived at a small, two-branched river.


" Young master, the left direction is towards the deepest center of the Dark Beasts, and the right direction towards the dark insect forbidden area. So we're going to move straight. The forbidden silver cave is in the middle of this forest."


" Older, is it harmless if we enter this forest at night?"


" Young master, as long as we are in the dark forest area, there is no safe place to rest. The only place that was a little safer was the forbidden silver cave. If there's no obstacle, we'll be there in two days."


" Alright, let's move," Qing Ruo said.


" Okay, young master."


" Swhus.. swhus..," their figures moved again, entering the dark forest area carefully.


Three hours later, they began to hear loud roars and sounds of fighting that rattled the forest area.


" It looks like the inhabitants of this dark forest are starting to go out to hunt" Qing Ruo said.


" Right sir, we have now entered a neutral area that is the center of their hunting and training" Yanshi Gong explained.


" It seems like mister Yanshi Gong doesn't look worried anymore" Long Chen chuckled.


" Mister Long Chen, even though this area is their hunting and training ground, but this area is only entered by those who are at a low level."


" Does that mean the area is a little safer than the outermost area?" ask Long Chen.


" Mister Long Chen, I can't be sure of such a thing, because we never know if the ruler of this dark forest has changed his rules. All we need to do right now is to move carefully, in order to be able to arrive at the forbidden silver cave."


" good. Hopefully this area is a little safer" Long Chen said.
