C10

After the running naked man, the Forest of Kings once again revealed a wondrous scene.

A white skeleton that emitted a sacred light opened a path in front of them. A robust youth wearing black armor pulled a cute little loli along.

This strange combination did not seem to have any scruples. It could be said that it would open the mountain and wade through the water. When it came across something that blocked its path, the skeleton would rush forward and smash it to pieces.

Even the real owners of this place, the magical beasts that occupied the land and became kings, suffered like broken stones. Whether it was a newly matured Class 1 Magical Beast or a Class 3 Magical Beast that could burn down a large patch of trees, they were all willing to join together. Those who were ugly had their monster cores taken, while those who were pretentious had their monster cores taken instead of roasted after the armored youth stuck out his tongue.

As for the more powerful magical beasts of the fourth rank? It was a pity that the only one of them had suddenly disappeared not too long ago, and its scent was clearly on the armored youth …

The young man was Liu Ye. The armor, of course, was the scales on the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast.

After Liu Ye found out that the skeleton warriors were extremely powerful, he was no longer as timid as he was before. This was the outer perimeter of the Forest of Kings. Although there were many magical beasts, they were all below the third step. Being able to encounter a fourth stage Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast was already a big surprise, and an exception. Even the Venomous Arrow Iron Armor Beast only had the life of a masochist in front of a Skeleton Warrior, how could the other magical beasts be a threat?

Thinking about this, after recovering his strength, Liu Ye didn't care too much about the direction of his group, as long as it was heading outside. As for wasting more time? Liu Ye wished that he could get more low-level monster cores so that he could exchange them for gold coins.

With this armor, Liu Ye was in a good mood. And when he was in a good mood, he even ordered the Skeleton Fighters to protect Lisa while he went up to face off against the magical beasts.

Thus, in Liu Ye's storage ring, there were several low-grade magic cores that he had personally extracted. His magic was also becoming more proficient. Compared to a few days ago when he met the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast, his fighting strength had increased by a lot.

Liu Ye even had the feeling that if he were to encounter the Poison Armored Armor Beast again, he would be able to smoothly escape from it with all sorts of supplementary magic, as well as his newly learnt Bone Cage Spear.

Of course, he was only escaping. If he were to fight face to face, he didn't have the ability to back with Zhang Xuan.

It was this contrast that made Liu Ye more curious about the Skeleton Warriors he had summoned. In Colkin's memories, there was no information about the summoning technique undergoing such a transformation. And according to Colkin's understanding of necromancy, necromancers were unable to summon such warriors who were far stronger than themselves.

This was because the summoning technique didn't rely solely on magic to summon powerful creatures. Rather, it required a certain level of medium or foundation. It was just like the most basic Skeleton Summoning Technique. The Skeleton Undead Summoners that were summoned would be skeletons from corpses within a certain radius of the necromancer. Furthermore, this skeleton must have been filled with grievances when it was alive, and would never be able to rest in peace even after its death.

Because of this, if there were no skeletons around the necromancer that met the requirements, even the magic would become ineffective and even backlash. It was just that every day, there would be people born on this piece of land. Similarly, there would also be people dying. Who knew how many people had been buried in this land for tens of thousands of years. If it really was a place that just happened not to have, and the necromancer had chosen this place to summon, then this necromancer's luck was truly terrible to the extreme.

Under normal circumstances, necromancers would go somewhere to look for Skeleton Warriors that they could summon. For example, on a battlefield, or in some ruins, there would often be people who were powerful and had died a miserable death. Once they found a suitable one, the necromancers would leave an imprint on it and send it to a magical world that only necromancers could communicate with — the world of the dead. The imprint he had previously placed could guarantee that the necromancer would be able to summon this Skeleton Warrior back to his side at any time, rather than having any unfortunate events happen to him like summoning a cat or dog.

Liu Ye knew that he was lucky. Although the strength of this Skeleton Warrior seemed to exceed the scope of what could be explained by luck. There were also other things that he couldn't explain, such as how the skeleton could have such a bright aura, how it used up almost all of its spiritual energy to summon the skeleton, and that strange blue light.

Although he couldn't explain it, Liu Ye didn't care. At least for now, it seemed like he had picked up a treasure.

"Big Brother Liu Ye, I'm starting to miss home …"

Liu Ye's thoughts were interrupted by Lisa's soft voice. The excited smile on his face immediately turned into an awkward one. After the awkwardness, there was an apology.

That's right, we haven't been in a hurry to travel in the past few days. We've been hunting magical beasts everywhere in search of monster cores. To Liu Ye, who had just escaped from the cage, it was as if he was a trapped dragon that was at ease in the sea. But to Lisa?

She had also escaped the cage, Colkin's cage, but she wasn't without ties. Along the way, the little loli didn't say anything as she followed him left and right. However, she must have missed her family very much, and she must have been very afraid of them worrying. It was just that she couldn't bear to say it …

"Sorry …"

Liu Ye opened his mouth, and Lisa hurriedly shook her head. Liu Ye smiled, then turned around and stood up, looking into the distance.

"Hehe, the monster cores that we have collected should be enough to exchange for quite a few gold coins. It's time to go out. "

"..."

"..."

After that day, Liu Ye didn't delay any longer. He carefully identified the direction and then led Lisa away. The little loli no longer displayed that faint worry and returned to her previous happiness. Her laughter also made Liu Ye feel that time passed really quickly.

However, the Forest of Kings was simply too big. Liu Ye could not be sure how much longer he would need to walk out of it. He could only follow the tree's directions and walk forward step by step.

Suddenly, Liu Ye ordered the skeleton warrior to stop. He closed his eyes and did not speak.

Lisa was very familiar with this scene. This was because the Skeleton Fighters didn't have their own perception. All along the way, Liu Ye's mental energy was used to scouting and alerting them.

Lisa saw that Liu Ye's expression was very special, seeming to be both surprised and nervous. Hence, she also became nervous.

When Liu Ye opened his eyes, Lisa hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Brother Liu Ye, are there demon beasts again?"

Liu Ye's expression was still very strange, as if he hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's not a magical beast, but a human."

"Someone's here?"

Lisa's expression turned ugly, as if she was very nervous.

This was the Forest of Kings, a place filled with danger. There were only four possibilities for people to appear here: first, the strong, who were not afraid of the dangerous experts in the Forest of Kings; second, the adventurers, who were not strong enough yet wanted to try their luck here, such as mercenaries; third, the trainees, who always dreamed of becoming heroes, liked to go to dangerous places to train; of course, the end result was always being scared into a bear or becoming its excrement; and finally, the passively involved ones like Liu Ye and Lisa.

"Then... Should we go over? "

Liu Ye seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking Lisa. Everything in this world was something he had never seen before. Although he had over three hundred years of memories, they all came from Colkin, a selfish and conceited person who was a super expert. Such a fellow would not have such considerations. However, Liu Ye did, because he was not as strong as Colkin.

Lisa also hesitated, frowning as she appeared to be conflicted over her identity. Although the existence of the fox race was not a secret, she knew that every kingdom had the same rule — "Anyone who harms the fox race's residents will be sentenced to death." However, she knew that there were many people in this world who, when faced with enough temptation, would completely forget about this rule.

There was no doubt that a beautiful fox girl, Lisa herself, was a sufficient temptation.

Lisa did not say that Liu Ye had the same concerns. He already knew that the two people walking in front of him were two warriors. However, the spiritual force's use was limited, so Liu Ye could only roughly tell that these two were warriors and not mages. As for whether they were strong or weak, good or evil, Liu Ye had no way of knowing.

Avoid it? Based on the current situation, it was still unknown how long it would take for Liu Ye and the others to leave the Forest of Kings.

Go up and greet it? Humans were not magical beasts, but their ferocity was even greater than that of other magical beasts.

If it was only Liu Ye, he would definitely not hesitate and directly went to look for those two people. At the very least, he would have to ask the other party if they had any spare clothes to replace his cool but hard armor. But now that there was still Lisa, Liu Ye also thought about what kind of impact a fox girl would bring to a human man.

Therefore, it was better to avoid trouble than trouble. He absolutely would not allow such a risk.

"Let's avoid them."

"Mm …"

Lisa's voice was filled with gratitude, her arms tightly holding Liu Ye's arms.

"Heh."

Liu Ye was elated. Previously, this little loli didn't stick so tightly to his body after he put on the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast's armor …

However, just when Liu Ye was about to take Lisa and sneak away, he suddenly frowned and yelled in a low voice, "Not good, we've been discovered."

Liu Ye's mental energy had not stopped searching, especially for the two warriors. But he suddenly realized that he'd missed one.

Without Liu Ye's explanation, Lisa already saw a rodent-like creature suddenly appear a few dozen meters away from them. When he saw the two of them, he immediately turned around and ran back.

At this speed, even if Liu Ye immediately launched an attack, it would be too late.

"Specter mink?"

"Yes." Liu Ye nodded, "I never thought that the other side would actually have this kind of thing. It seems like they are not ordinary adventurers!"

The ghostly marten was a very weak magical beast, so weak that it could easily kill an ordinary wild beast like a lion, wolf, tiger, leopard. Of course, this was only possible if he was willing to fight these beasts head on.

But even though it was very weak, the ghostly marten was still a magical beast, a Class 1 Magical Beast. Aside from its speed, it was also innately capable of shielding one's spiritual force from detection. It was because of this ability that the ghost marten didn't seem to have any natural enemies. It was as if it was born fearless.

It was also because of the same reason that people would often catch and tame the young ghost mink. Once it had grown up, it would be used to scout out the road ahead. Especially in a place like the forest where flying beasts couldn't be used, the ghost marten's utility was even more outstanding.

It was also because only young Ghostrats could be captured and tamed by humans. This kind of effective pathfinding tool was not universal, and only clans or groups with special powers could have some of it.

Seeing the ghost marten, Liu Ye was sure that he and Lisa had been discovered by the other side. The speed of the Warriors, coupled with the Ghost Marten's pursuit, made it hard for him and Lisa to leave. Luckily, he was no longer planning to hide. In his mind, it was not as simple as having an ID card for people who had status in this world …

Command the Skeleton Warriors to be on alert, and to immediately act as soon as necessary. Liu Ye and Lisa sat on the ground, waiting for the two to arrive.

"He's here!"

The time was very short, Liu Ye had already detected the movement and then stared ahead.

One of them was fat, one was tall and one was short. The other one was old and the two were young. They were flying over, but they stopped some distance away just like the ghost marten from before. They were clearly on guard. However, the ghost marten was not by their side. It was likely that it had already been collected.

Liu Ye was unfamiliar with favors, and Lisa was also unfamiliar with the world. She was waiting for the two people across from her to talk first. However, she didn't expect the two people to stop and look up and down for a while before actually whispering to each other.

Liu Ye frowned. Even though he was so far away, he could not hear what they were saying. But looking at their expressions, it made Liu Ye feel like they had come with ill intentions. Especially that short and fat young man. Ever since they arrived here, his pair of small eyes had never left Lisa.

These eyes, revealing, greedy, typical lecherous look!

The other side definitely had ill intentions. Liu Ye was certain of this when he noticed the short fatty's gaze. The reason was simple. He had seen too many similar gazes in that sealed off place.

If you are kind, I am willing to drink with you or even give you a few magic cores as a gift. If you don't want to cause trouble, I'm willing to go my own way. But if you are plotting against me, then I will treat you the same as the magical beasts that have come to die, and send you on your way!

Liu Ye had already made up his mind. However, he didn't express anything on his face. He ordered the Skeleton Warriors to protect Lisa and welcomed her with a smile.

"To be able to meet two of them in the Forest of Kings, filled with magical beasts, I am truly honored and happy …"

Liu Ye was now in high spirits. A small sound amplifying spell was enough to let his voice be heard clearly. Smiling, he placed his left hand on his right chest and nodded in greeting. This action surprised the two of them, as if they were a little surprised.

"Aristocrat?"

The one who opened his mouth was the tall old man. He recognized Liu Ye's standard saluting gesture when he was in his armor.

"Hur hur."

Liu Ye smiled without saying anything else. What kind of noble was he? He was just copying Colkin's memories. After all, according to his understanding, this was a strictly hierarchical world, and aristocrats represented power and status. To be able to shock the other party, it was definitely an unexpected surprise.

However, judging from the other party's reaction, he was not too surprised. Furthermore, he did not return the greeting. This could only mean one thing, if the other party was used to this kind of situation, he would definitely be a noble, and most likely not an ordinary noble.

"We are from the Meilin Clan of the Mafa Kingdom. This is our young master An Fu, which family are you from? Why isn't he wearing his family emblem? "

Merlin family! This was one of the top families in the entire Mafa Kingdom. Liu Ye's expression did not change, but he was shocked. He had another worry on his mind. The staff lying quietly in his storage ring now belonged to the great mage, Gonzalez. And Gonzalez's full name was Gonzalez Merlin.

"I am Liu Ye of the Flood Family from the kingdom of Cage, come to the Forest of Kings to train. May I know who you two are? "

After saying this, Liu Ye stretched out his hand behind his back, looking like he was looking for his family badge from his backpack.

"Pui!" And I wondered why it was so unheard-of, so uninteresting. "Old Ladd, tell him to bring that fox servant girl back obediently, and I'll let him live."

Hearing Liu Ye mention his family name, the short fatty called An Fu suddenly opened his mouth, full of contempt. His gaze turned directly to the little loli, Lisa. Compared to Lisa, Liu Ye, who was wearing a weird armor, was not attractive at all.

However, Anfu's words had really touched Liu Ye's bottom line.

His hand was originally not meant to take out the family badge. How could he have that kind of thing? In reality, he had been silently chanting an incantation from his back, preparing to first use magic to probe the situation of these two. However, the other party's words caused him to forcefully stop his low-level fire magic, and directly turned it into a fifth step necromancy magic — — Bone Lance.

Probing? Why are you still testing my ass! Since you dare to act so brazenly, then I'll just make a move and stab you to death!

"That's not right. A hundred years ago, the VLAD family was stripped of their noble honor. Where did they come from?" You dare to lie to me? "

Remembering the names of almost all the nobles was an education that would be given to every single noble on the land. However, this An Fu was clearly a typical foppish, unlearned foppish young lad. He had never heard of the family name that Liu Ye had mentioned, but his old guard, Ladd, knew of it. Because of this, Ladd quickly became aware of the loophole.

"I'm just lying to you!"

The other party was aware of this, and Liu Ye's magic was also ready. Without another word, he raised his hand and a white light pierced towards the short, fat boy, along with the sound of space being torn apart.

The two of them were from the Merlin family, so they had always had their eyes set on Liu Ye and did not put him in their eyes at all. However, he didn't expect Liu Ye to suddenly attack, and it was even magic!

"Mage?" It was a mage! This is bad, this magic is — bone spear, be careful young master! "

Ladd's face turned pale. He was confused by Liu Ye's dressing, thinking of him as a warrior and an obviously unpopular warrior. Unexpectedly, Liu Ye was a mage in armor.

Surprised but quick to react, Liu Ye had just thrown out his bone lance when the heavy sword behind Reid appeared in his hand and he was one step ahead of An Fu, blocking the attack.

"Crack ~ ~ ~"

Liu Ye's level 5 bone lance collided with the heavy sword's body. Lad was shaken to the point where he took a step back before steadying himself, while the bone lance instantly turned into bone dust!

Powerful! Liu Ye frowned. It was as he had guessed. Not only was the identity of the other party extraordinary, his strength was also extraordinary. Seeing how this Ladd had hastily blocked the bone lance and was only forced back a step, one could tell that he was at least at the fifth step to the sixth step.

However, now that he thought about it, how could Liu Ye not have any tricks up his sleeve? He had not only prepared this spell to stall for time, he had also shouted out another incantation at the same time he raised his hand, and another two bone lances flew out in front of him, still aimed at An Fu.

This was the true form of this magic.
