The darkness, the endless darkness. This was the only feeling Lu Chen had towards the Forest of Death.
It had already been three days since Lu Chen carried the Howling Moonwolf into the Deathly Forest. Within three days, all he could see was this boundless darkness, causing Lu Chen to feel even more hopeless.
"Little guy, why do you insist on following me into this dead forest? There's no chance of survival after entering, why bother?" Lu Chen lowered his head to look at the little Howling Moonwolf in his embrace, who was too hungry to move.
"Aooo ~" The little Moonwolf seemed to have understood Lu Chen's words and shook its head, proving that it didn't regret anything.
"I finally know why even Nascent Soul stage cultivators would perish in this forest." Looking at the surroundings, despair appeared in Lu Chen's eyes. Other than the trees in the dead forest, there was nothing alive, not to mention eating. The sunlight was blocked by the trees, so it could not shine in, which was not the most fatal thing, what was most fatal was that the dead forest could not absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Plus, the dead forest itself was like a maze that people would not be able to escape from, and flying into the sky would cause them to attack.
"Ao!" The Howling Moonwolf cried out in a low voice. Its eyes were filled with despair.
"Little guy, I can't keep on calling you that, right? Your fur looks like silver, your forehead is crescent, and you're a Howling Moon Wolf Clan member. How about this, I won't call you moonlight." "Silver is similar to the color of the moonlight. Wolves love to howl at the moon as well. Do you like moonlight?" Lu Chen asked.
"Ao!" The little wolf happily cried out, proving that it also liked this name.
"Yuehua, let's continue our tour for a few more days to see if there's a way out." Although Lu Chen knew that these words were meant to comfort her, his heart was already filled with joy.
Another three days had passed. Lu Chen's body had long since been unable to endure the six days without food or water. Yue Hua remained in Lu Chen's embrace with her eyes closed. If it weren't for the occasional faint sound of breathing, she would have thought Yue Hua was dead. However, the god of death had already extended his hand towards her.
"Yuehua, I really can't accept this." "Lu Chen seemed to feel that his time was up and he no longer moved as he sat under the tree hugging the moonlight." If I hadn't been so untalented in cultivation, I wouldn't have ended up like this. If I had been even more talented, how could I have been forced into this state by those two people, and even though I was a man, I was still schemed against. I had a face that was even more unsightly than my daughter's. Heh, perhaps in the future when the Lu family mentions me, they will only say that I am someone who will take over the position of brother harm. I am the Lu family's worst talent in cultivation and at most, they will mention my appearance. "Speaking of which, I really can't accept it." "Lu Chen mocked himself." In fact, I had never thought of being the head of the Lu family. My wish was to build a thatched hut in a place far from the world, and grow all kinds of flowers in front of the house. I had a virtuous wife by my side. In the evening, I was in the room with her. I played the zither for her. She danced for me. She lived a bland life. What immortality, what power, to me is no more than the dance of my beloved. I had originally planned to explain my intentions to my father after nurturing someone who could take care of the Lu family's store after a period of time. I wanted to leave the Lu family and travel through the mountains and rivers. However, I didn't expect that before I said they were going to kill me, would the heavens really want me to die? But what have I done wrong? If you want to do this to me, I will neither accept nor accept it. " After which, Lu Chen fainted.
The darkness of the dead forest was still unchanged due to Lu Chen's coma. Even the trees had not changed in the slightest due to Lu Chen's misfortune.
"Ao!" Yue Hua woke up from Lu Chen's embrace. Seeing the unconscious Lu Chen anxiously using his mouth to prod Lu Chen's body, Lu Chen could only helplessly not react at all. Yue Hua's eyes seemed to be filled with tears. Then, as if it had made a decision, the moon on its forehead emitted a dazzling light, and its body gradually grew larger. It picked up Lu Chen's body and threw him on its back, then ran in a certain direction.
Lu Chen didn't know how long he slept, but he felt like he had just had a very good dream. In the dream, he had built a thatched cottage in a place with mountains and water, and he was living with a woman. His wish had been fulfilled in the dream, but he couldn't see her appearance clearly at all.
"Ao!" Seeing that Lu Chen had woken up, Yue Hua seemed to have put down a heavy burden. Her body shrunk to the size that Lu Chen had started to see and she fainted.
Lu Chen woke up and found himself in a strange place, but he knew that this was the Forest of Death, "Yue Hua, Yue Hua, where are you?" Instinctively, he felt that this had something to do with Yue Hua. Therefore, Lu Chen shouted loudly, but did not reply for a long time. It was only when Lu Chen looked down in disappointment that he noticed Yue Hua was being pressed down by him. Lu Chen hurriedly got up to check on Yue Hua, discovering that she was weaker than before. He couldn't help but worry even more. At this moment, the red light in front of him attracted Lu Chen's attention. Lu Chen didn't know what was waiting for him, but for him, there was nothing worse than this. Thus, he decided to go up and take a look.
Lu Chen walked up to the front and discovered that there were five bright red fruits on top of a tree. Lu Chen was extremely hungry, and seeing how weak Yue Hua was, he quickly picked the rest of the fruits and fed them to her. After eating the fruit, Lu Chen felt a warm current flowing through his body. At the same time, he could actually absorb Spiritual Qi. His weak body was no longer weak. He was overjoyed. Lu Chen immediately sat down to meditate to feel the changes in his body.
"Whew." Lu Chen opened his eyes and exhaled. He had been meditating for three days now, and during these three days, Lu Chen discovered that his bone root was continuously being improved to an extreme. His cultivation speed was now more than a hundred times faster than before, and he had also broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. I don't know if there are any more fruits, but it would be great if there were any more fruits. " Lu Chen said. However, he did not know that the fruit he had unintentionally eaten only bloomed once every ten thousand years. The fruit would only ripen once every ten thousand years. Yue Hua seems to have also become a third stage demon beast. " Lu Chen said in relief after checking the unconscious Yue Hua.
"It seems like I have some sort of connection with this dead forest. Since the heavens won't let me die, then I will see just how amazing this dead forest is." After saying that, Lu Chen walked over with Yue Hua in his arms.
