Miss, he is gone. Let’s move on!” The second commander who was in his fifties sighed and suggested.
Lin Xiaoxue nodded, she stood up and said: “Everyone, the Red Blood Forest is extremely dangerous, accidents like this are inevitable. But, please don’t worry, the dead did not lose their lives in vain. The Lin family will give one hundred thousand silvers to the victims’ families, and ten thousand silvers to the rest of you. Even If I die, it would still be done.”
“Miss, you are so nice! Now we can relax a little.”
“Yes, as a warrior, it is normal for us to get hurt. But, what we are the most worried about is that if we die, our families would lose their only support.”
There were only six Condensing Reality Realm warriors in the whole team of guards, the rest of them were all at the Mortal Realm. With their cultivation level, even if they killed demonic beasts everyday, they would still need a few months to make ten thousand silvers. However, it was impossible for them to do so, since no one with their strength would be able to survive in a place full of demonic beasts. In general, for a normal Mortal Realm warrior, it would take more than five years to make about ten thousand silvers. And, it was only under the condition that they did not die, since everyone had those moments when they were completely out of luck.
Now, Lin Xiaoxue had promised to reward their families one hundred thousand silvers if they were killed, which addressed all their concerns. They would not have to worry about their families even if they die. And, they would make ten thousand silvers if they made it alive. This lifted up their spirits.
“This girl has what it takes to be a great leader.” Lin Xiaoxue’s style impressed Ye Chen, he thought to himself.
…
The dead were no more, all that the rest of them could do was to carry on with their journey.
After walking for a while, the group seemed to enter a different world that was completely separated from the one outside the forest.
The Red Blood Forest did not betray its reputation. The group had encountered four waves of beasts’ attack on their journey.
The first wave was from three underground demonic mice, which were rank 2 beasts.
The second wave was from a large group of silver ring snakes, which were also rank 2 beasts.
The third wave was from five Scorpion tailed demonic wolves, which were rank 4 beasts.
During the third and fourth waves, no one had lost their lives, and they weren’t injured either. However, during the first and the second waves of attack, they had lost four men. If it wasn’t for Ye Chen reacting immediately, they might have lost more than half of their men.
The underground demonic mice were not very powerful. Normally, even a Mortal Realm stage 7 warrior could manage to beat it head on, without much effort. However, when it hid underground, it would become a Mortal Realm warrior’s or even an Early Condensing Reality Realm warrior’s nightmare.
Among the Lin family guards, there was a Mortal Realm Stage 10 warrior, who was dragged into one of the deepest holes in the ground by the demonic mice. His miserable shrieks lasted for a long time before they stopped. The second and the third mouse were not lucky enough, they had targeted Ye Chen and Yuan Xuemei. They hadn’t even managed to completely get out of the hole before they were killed by them. And the last one alive was scared away.
If the underground demonic mice had frightened the group, then the second wave had completely traumatized them.
