Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The mountain range of magical beasts was vast and massive.
There were all kinds of strange flowers and plants growing inside, and the dense giant trees blocked out even the sun!
All kinds of thorns and vines grew wantonly, crisscrossing and disorderly, like a blockade line, dividing the mountain range from the world outside!
From time to time, the howling of wolves and tigers could be heard!
This made it even more mysterious and terrifying.
“This is the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts?”
Looking at the endless green mountains, Lin Ming was slightly shocked, and an inexplicable sense of awe rose in his heart.
“After you enter, please be careful!”
“Although it is located in the periphery of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, many of the thorny vines have lethal toxins. If you get accidentally poisoned, it will be very difficult to remove the toxin, and you might even lose your life!”
Colin was packing up his equipment while exhorting Lin Ming.
He had entered the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts several times, and he was very experienced!
But every time he entered, he would be very vigilant, and never daring to take entering the range lightly.
Lin Ming listened thoughtfully, gazing into the depths of the forest.
After Ernest packed up her equipment, she patted Lin Ming’s shoulder. “You have to be more careful of the magical beasts within. There are many magical beasts that are very good at concealing themselves!”
As she said that, she pointed to a tree not far away.
Lin Ming followed her gaze and saw a long brown-gray snake coiled around the tree like a branch of a giant tree.
If one did not look closely, one would not be able to tell that it was there.
The mountain range of magical beasts was ten thousand miles long and its width reached an astonishing thousand miles at several points. At the edge of the mountain range were some low-level magical beasts. If one walked a few hundred miles into the depths, they would be able to see all kinds of high-level magical beasts!
In fact, in the deepest parts of the mountain range, saint-level magical beasts would often appear.
“I hope that we won’t encounter any beast hordes, much less saint-level magical beasts!”
Colin seemed to be praying as he clasped his hands together and bowed towards the depths of the mountain range of magical beasts.
Very soon, everyone packed up and entered the mountain range.
Along the way, everyone surrounded Lin Ming, who had just entered the mountain range of magical beasts for the first time. On one hand, it was to protect his safety. On the other hand, it was also for the sake of speed.
“According to the map, we should be able to reach our station in another half an hour,” Colin said as he looked at the map in his hand.
Just as the group was about to increase their speed…
Lin Ming stopped in his tracks, and his face darkened. “The smell of human blood?”
After entering this area, Little Ling became a little abnormal. She kept rubbing her body against Lin Ming, which made him notice that there was a faint smell of human blood in the air.
Quickly, they jumped over a few bushes and saw a creepy scene.
Five men were lying on the ground in a mess. There was a horrifying wound on each of their necks, and one could vaguely see their cervical vertebrae.
The loss of blood even made their bodies shrivel.
Judging from their clothes and appearance, the four burly men were warriors, and the weaker woman was a mage.
“Did they die at the hands of their comrades?”
Lin Ming guessed, and the expressions of those people were filled with shock and disbelief.
Hearing Lin Ming’s words, Ernest and the others could not help but look over in surprise. Not only did Lin Ming find this place strange, he even guessed the cause of their deaths?
Was this really their first time coming to the Magical Beast Forest?
They were all definitely old detectives!
“That’s right!”
“There are often such scenes of killing each other in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. Therefore, we must not only be careful of the attacks of the magical beasts, but also the humans around us!”
“Of course, most of them are part of a temporary team!”
Ernest said seriously, and a hint of confidence appeared on her face.
She felt that these people around her were all people who had gone through life and death together. They had gone through many life and death trials, so she could completely trust them with her back.
“The greed of human nature!” Lin Ming sighed.
He guessed that these people must be fighting for a magical beast’s spirit nucleus.
The magical beast’s spirit nucleus was extremely valuable. After obtaining it, they naturally didn’t want to share it equally with others, so they might as well kill it.
Listening to Lin Ming’s sigh.
Colin and the others looked at Lin Ming in disbelief.
They always felt that Lin Ming wasn’t like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child, but more like an experienced old man.
It was obvious!
That’s right, those people were fighting for benefits!
They did not hesitate to kill their partners who had gone through life and death together. Just as Lin Ming had said — the greed of human nature!
Thinking of this.
Colin could not help but ask, “Lin Ming, is this really your first time coming to the mountain range of magical beasts? Why do you see so clearly?”
Jeff and Hulk, who were beside him, also looked at Lin Ming with puzzlement.
“Even a ten-year-old child knows!”
After Lin Ming finished speaking, he followed Ernest’s footsteps and advanced into the depths of the forest.
The three people who were left behind had stunned expressions on their faces.
The three of them looked at each other, and their expressions were filled with indescribable bitterness.
What did it mean that a ten-year-old child knew?
They had paid a great price in order to understand the evilness of human nature step by step!
It was precisely because of this that they were extremely puzzled as to why Lin Ming could see so clearly at such a young age?
“Lin Ming indeed has the potential to become a saint!”
Collin sighed.
From the day-to-day interactions, he admired Lin Ming even more in his heart!
Not only because of his frightening strength, but also his admirable temperament!
The three of them sighed for a long time before starting to catch up!
They had to arrive at the encampment at night!
