Chapter 074 The Shadow that Protects the Strongest

Eternal Forest, periphery.

Zhao Lin remained where he was, the countdown of the ball in his hand flashing.

[Countdown: 2 hours, 58 minutes and 36 seconds]

[Distance: 174.61 kilometers]

"Dabai, why don't you leave first."

Zhao Lin still had to wait in place for more than ten minutes before he could move on.

"It takes 3 hours and is close to 180 kilometers. It's enough to finish the run itself. If we encounter the test machine again and delay the time, this special training will be in vain!"

It's not okay to end the opportunity you've finally fought for before it even started.

Zhao Lin pointed forward and said seriously,

"You go first, I have Wind Stepping Slash and I am a warrior, so I am definitely much faster than you.

When the punishment time is over, I will go find you. "

Ye Bai hesitated for a moment and finally nodded,

"good."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, and his shadow moved with him, escaping the danger.

Zhao Lin did not forget to remind, "Be careful with the testing machine!"

"knew."

Ye Bai's figure disappeared into the jungle.

What Zhao Lin didn’t know was that,

The rules of the Eternal Forest are very special.

Here, if you can get the recognition of your obsession and successfully harvest the relics,

The relic will take you directly through the entire eternal forest!

In other words,

The 180-kilometer cross-country distance is not the final assessment for the students.

The real test is the awakened obsession, the relic that needs to be overcome!

"If you look at it this way, the emergence of testing machines is actually another kind of screening."

Ye Bai recalled the rules, and the purpose of the entire exercise clearly emerged in his mind.

“To complete the exercise, you must pass through the Eternal Forest.

In the Eternal Forest, if an obsession is awakened, the testing machine will appear, leaving the students where they are, waiting for the next test. "

“However, the deeper you go into the Eternal Forest, the stronger your obsession becomes.

The higher the grade of the relic, the harder it is to gain recognition! "

The relationship between obsession and genius seeds is a mutual choice.

The obsession is to select genius seeds with more potential, and the genius seeds want more powerful relics.

That is to say,

The more talented people are, the farther they can advance in the eternal forest!

Zhao Lin only has C-level talent, so he is extremely lucky to be able to awaken his obsession at the outermost level.

The warrior who once had C-level talent spent three days and three nights in the Eternal Forest, but failed to awaken any obsession.

Thinking of this, Ye Bai looked back.

"Hey, Zhao Lin got into a fight with a long knife?"

"Yes, if it can be recognized, it will be a handy weapon."

Withdrawing his gaze, Ye Bai continued to move forward.

Behind him, more than a dozen pieces of equipment were suspended in mid-air, following Ye Bai quietly.

Every time there is an additional piece of equipment, Ye Bai will bow slightly towards the other party, which is both a thank you and an apology.

Thank you for your recognition.

Sorry, I need to go deeper.

These equipment just followed Ye Bai, neither far nor close, maintaining a fixed distance.

Their existence is obscured by a shadow, making it difficult for others to see clearly.

...

On the outskirts of the Eternal Forest, not far from Ye Bai.

Liu Xueqi's face was serious and she looked forward. The canary stood on her shoulder, combing its feathers.

"Xiao Jin, my grandfather said that the Eternal Forest is an extremely special place.

After entering, if you dare to be dishonest.

The old man said that there was nothing else at home, so five million doses of Wan Du Powder would be enough. "

Canary instantly became petrified, her whole body began to tremble, and every feather was filled with fear.

"Okay, I won't scare you anymore, just be quiet and everything will be fine.

This is the safest place for the entire human race. I didn’t expect that the drill would bring us here. "

"I don't know how Ye Bai and the others are doing."

After speaking, Liu Xueqi began to take things from the storage space and place them neatly on the ground.

Fruit plate, food, two bottles of soju, a pack of old brand cigarettes, etc.

After placing everything, Liu Xueqi took a few steps back, with a solemn look on her face, bowed again, and stood up.

"Liu Xueqi, a descendant of the Liu family in Nanjiang, has met all the seniors..."

In the forest beneath her feet, forty-six members of the Nanjiang Liu family were buried, including two war kings, seven war generals, and thirty-seven war soldiers.

Forty-six names are engraved on the inscriptions in the Liu family ancestral hall.

The Eternal Forest is of special significance to the Liu family.

Liu Xueqi's first task during this trip is not to harvest relics, but to worship her ancestors!

"Grandpa Qingyao, my grandfather asked me to bring you a message. He said that he is almost the God of War. He feels that the signs of breakthrough have become more and more obvious recently..."

"He asked you to smoke less down there. This stuff is harmful to your health..."

"..."

Following Liu Xueqi's thoughts, several objects buried in the soil were awakened deep in the eternal forest, emitting different lights.

Liu Xueqi, the outermost person, felt something in her heart and looked forward.

"Is this... letting me go?"

Liu Xueqi did not leave immediately.

Instead, after worshiping the forty-six ancestors of the Liu family, she bowed again and again before leaving with heavy steps and heading to the depths of the eternal forest to find the relics that called her.

The canary on her shoulder was still trembling.

It wasn't because of Liu Xueqi's previous threats.

But it can feel that in this forest, an extremely terrifying existence is nearby!

A terrifying existence that makes its soul tremble!

...

Deep in the eternal forest.

"Master Jiu, can you still hold on?"

Behind Ye Bai, a dark mass covered the sky and the sun.

Tens of thousands of equipment were suspended in the air, following Ye Bai, refusing to leave.

Among these equipment, many were relics of war kings, and even relics of war gods!

Among them, the half-broken arrows were covered with rust, but they could emit extremely sharp edges.

Even if a war king stared at it for a long time, his eyes would hurt and tears would flow.

[A certain war king's advancement was interrupted, and he shot a shocking arrow before his death, killing two demon war gods]

Even if Ying Jiu tried to cover up the relics of the quasi-war god level, he felt very strenuous.

These relics were attached with the obsessions of the heroes in their lifetime, and were transformed by [Nightmare] using rules, and their strength was greatly improved.

The Eternal Forest was their home ground.

In other words, Ying Jiu covering up the war god-level equipment was equivalent to covering up the whereabouts of a war god!

And there are as many as nine pieces of such equipment following Ye Bai!

"Boy, you're making a lot of noise."

Ying Jiu's voice was a little strained,

"The first two guys are not as capable as you."

"Oh?"

Ye Bai keenly caught a piece of information - when the first two strongest people entered the Eternal Forest, Ying Jiu was also with them? !

"What did they do at that time?"

"Is this the time for gossip?"

Ying Jiu wanted to jump out and help Ye Bai clean his brain.

Get to know the situation, bastard!

"Nine pieces of God of War equipment, you've only walked less than one-tenth..."

"When you get to the deepest part, I'm afraid the obsession of the entire forest will come alive!"

Ying Jiu was shocked by his own guess.

If such a noise really happened, Ying Jiu's own strength alone would definitely not be able to cover it up for a long time!

This forest alone has buried hundreds of Gods of War!

By then, Ye Bai's identity will be at risk of being exposed.

Ying Jiu can't seal the memories of everyone in the forest!

What's more, the Eternal Forest is a special place.

Those demons in the Abyss Plane will keep one eye on this place even when they are sleeping!

As for shaking people...

Shadow Four, Five, Six, and Seven,

There are indeed four war gods sitting in the Eternal Forest.

However,

Before Shura obtains the strength of the God of War,

except for the four strongest people, Shadow Nine, no one can know Ye Bai's true identity!

The growth path of the first two strongest people is the same.

Without the strength of the God of War, any possibility of exposing the identity will bring about a fatal disaster!

The first time Wuhen appeared on the front line, a demon from the Abyss Plane came in his true body, and he was so crazy that he wanted to kill Wuhen directly!

Before, Shadow Seven proposed that he wanted to take a look at Shura.

Shadow Five retorted on the spot.

Dare to go, you will die!

Killed by an old monster hidden in the shadow for a hundred years!

And no one of the four war gods on the spot refuted Ying Wu's words.

They knew that Brother Jiu was not only capable of doing such a thing, but would also do it!

Ying Jiu, who accompanied the rise of the strongest man [Nightmare] and protected [Wuhen] and [Xiaoyao] successively.

The blood of the strong men on his hands is more than that of the four people combined!

He is by no means an old man next door, but a ruthless executioner and the nightmare of the enemy!

Ying Jiu spoke again,

"Boy, if you want to go deeper, you'd better go at full speed."

"Even if all the obsessions of the God of War are awakened, I will cover you up with all my strength, and I can cover it up for 3 minutes!"

"3 minutes, enough for you to pick one."

After listening to Ying Jiu's words, Ye Bai was silent for a moment.

"That's the only way."

If it continues to drag on, Ying Jiu's consumption will only increase, and in the end, he may not even last 1 minute!

It's better to take advantage of Ying Jiu's spare energy and rush to the end in one go, and fight quickly!

Ye Bai took a deep breath, put on the Lone Wolf Mask, clasped his fists and saluted, saying in a deep voice,

"I'm sorry."

The next second, he left a shadow on the spot and rushed into the depths of the Eternal Forest!

Swish——

The startled birds fled everywhere, and countless obsessions were awakened at the same time, and they joined the team following Ye Bai, converging into a steel torrent!

Above the blue sky, white clouds floated leisurely.

He, was still watching.
