Different World: The Devil's Coming

"It's so far. How long will it take?"

As they walked, Lan Kexin started to complain. Mo Fan had heard this sentence for no less than thirty times.

"It's still a long way to go. Looking at the map, we're only less than halfway there. We'll probably have to wait until tomorrow to get there."

Mo Fan looked at the map and answered tiredly. Walking for a whole day is not tiring, but if there are people around you who keep complaining and begging for a rest, then it is very tiring.

The four of them could already see the dead forest not far away. Unlike the green and vibrant trees around them, it was as if there was a dead silence there. The withered trees stood upright on the ground with their fangs and claws bared, as if they were about to rise up from the ground and attack the adventurers passing by. And the castle had also appeared in their sight.

"Let's stop here today. We'll camp here for one night and then go into the dead forest tomorrow."

"Well, it's up to you."

The three of them had no experience in outdoor adventures, let alone missions, so they just did whatever Mo Fan said along the way. Even though Lan Kexin complained about being tired, Mo Fan didn't ask her to rest, so she just complained for a while, then took out some snacks from Mo Fan's backpack and started eating...

As for why there were snacks in Mo Fan's backpack, Mo Fan could only say that there was nothing he could do, as these three people were too cautious.

The three of them filled their backpacks with all kinds of things that could be used or not. Only Mo Fan could pack snacks and desserts.

As for the storage ring? It doesn't exist. The things in the storage ring are all precious. Even the props are more useful than one another. They are really useful. In case everything is stuffed into the storage ring, if something really happens, if the wrong prop is taken, then it will be a disaster. So Mo Fan asked them to carry the props they bought in a backpack first, and not to carry too much, so as not to affect the battle.

Although the three of them did not quite understand this approach, they all followed Mo Fan's arrangements. After all, Mo Fan must have his reasons for saying so.

If Mo Fan knew about this, he would just say, "What you bought is of no use at all. If something really happens, it's better to just throw it away instead of keeping it in the storage ring, so as to avoid being upset when looking at it later."

After setting up the tent and sprinkling insect repellent powder, Mo Fan went to the surrounding woods to pick up some wood. It didn't matter whether it was dry or wet, he could just dry it with the fire element.

If the coolie Mo Fan does it, then the food will definitely be given to the other three.

Lan Kexin said she was going to go fishing in the river, Lian was going hunting, and Chenxi was going to protect Lian.

When Mo Fan returned to the tent, the three of them had already built a fire and started barbecuing. However...

"Ke Xin, didn't you say you were going fishing? Where are the fish?"

Mo Fan asked in confusion. After all, Lan Kexin was a water magician. Wouldn't it be easy for her to catch a fish? Unexpectedly, Lan Kexin said with a depressed look that there was no river nearby, so where would the fish come from? She later went to find Chenxi and the others to go hunting together.

The four of them were in a small square beside the main road. This square should be a gathering place for adventurers, but because of the recent situation in the castle, no one came here anymore.

In short, the four of them didn't encounter anyone passing by here, let alone anyone resting here together.

After dinner, the four of them returned to their respective tents to rest. Mo Fan and Lian took turns to keep watch. Lan Kexin was careless, and Mo Fan was worried. Chenxi was a priest, mainly a support. If someone who was not easy to be discovered came, it would be easy for something to happen.

So the night watch was left to the energetic Mo Fan and the observant Lian.

"Huh? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Mo Fan looked at Lan Kexin who walked out of the tent and asked with some confusion.

"Woo wow~ Chenxi and I are not weak girls. Isn't it just night watch? I can do it too."

As she spoke, Lan Kexin sat down beside the fire.

Of course, if there were not enough people, they couldn't light a fire, but who was Mo Fan? Any monster that approached and sensed Mo Fan's breath would turn around and leave without hesitation, not to mention that Lian and the others had hunted many monsters around during the day.

Mo Fan did not refuse Lan Kexin's request to keep watch with him. After all, it was better to have someone to chat with than to be alone. As for what they talked about... Of course, they talked about their own great achievements. Mo Fan boasted that he blew up the Demon King's Castle, while Lan Kexin said that she sank an island. In short, the two of them became more and more excited as they talked, and neither of them was willing to give in.

Fortunately, Mo Fan took this into consideration and the tent was soundproofed, otherwise Chenxi would have rushed out and hit the two of them hard.

In the middle of the night, Lian and Chenxi got up to change shifts, and Mo Fan returned to the tent and had a good sleep.

The next morning, everyone set out again after breakfast. Today, they were about to step into the strange dead forest.

Mo Fan was deeply touched by the wasteland. After all, he had not yet broken through the dilemma of the forbidden land. The experience of being trapped in the wasteland made Mo Fan hate this kind of landform.

However, there is a big difference between the desolation of this dead forest and the forbidden land. In the forbidden land, it feels like being abandoned by the whole world, and there is no way to find a living person. If you are trapped there for a long time, you will definitely go crazy.

And what about this dead forest? It gives off a sense of incongruity that no one should be allowed to approach.

From the moment the four of them stepped into this place, Chenxi had a vague feeling that something was repelling her. She thought it was the dark element repelling the light element, but Mo Fan on the other side had the same feeling, and the four of them felt something was wrong.

"Instead of rejecting the dark elements, you reject me?"

Mo Fan released the dark element, and waves of black mist appeared in Mo Fan's hands. The dark element dissipated in the air without any abnormality, which meant that there was nothing around that was targeting the dark element, so the repulsive feeling was directed at Mo Fan himself.

"That shouldn't be the case. Didn't the investigative intelligence say that it attracts us? Why is it rejecting us now? Is it because our blood is not good and he doesn't want it?"

There are many rumors about the castle in Wind Calling City. One of them is that stepping into the dead forest is like walking into the blood mage's formation. Every living being who walks in will feel the attraction from the direction of the castle, which is a symbol of the blood mage's desire for fresh blood. The awakened undead in the dead forest will also attack the enemy according to the breath of life.

But... what Mo Fan and his three companions felt now was not attraction, but repulsion? Why was that? Mo Fan and his three companions couldn't figure it out, but the repulsion was not strong, so they decided to move forward. After all, they couldn't turn back just after taking a step in, right?

The four of them slowly moved towards the castle. The undead, or ghosts, mentioned in the mission would appear in the castle, and the mission would also begin there.
