Even with a single drop of blood, I will still be invincible!

[Hint: You have entered the Forest of Death.]

A system notification sounded in his ear, and Su Mubai had arrived in a lifeless forest.

The surrounding trees were withered and decayed, their trunks completely blackish-gray, and a light gray mist filled the air, blocking out the sunlight and giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

"This is... death energy?"

Su Mubai raised his palm, and the light gray mist that filled the air instantly gathered and condensed into an energy ball.

After upgrading the skill [Death Absorption Feedback] to [Annihilation Death Qi], he already possessed the ability to control death qi.

Although these mists are not entirely composed of death energy, they contain a considerable amount of it.

With a light clench of his fist, Su Mubai crushed the death energy and began to walk into the Forest of Death.

He could clearly feel the deathly aura deep within growing stronger.

This coordinate was obtained when I opened the [Death Codex] for the seventh time in the Sakura Kingdom.

Based on the initial speculation and the results of later verification with Huaijian, Su Mubai believed that this was the location of the interdimensional teleportation array that Dylan had hidden.

clack clack...

The sound of bones clashing echoed continuously, suggesting that there were many skeletal creatures ahead.

Su Mubai did not stop walking and made no preparations for battle, but continued to venture deeper into the Forest of Death as always.

Soon, large patches of eerie blue soul fire flickered in the dim forest, and hordes of undead creatures appeared in Su Mubai's field of vision.

However, the next moment, these undead creatures all knelt down before Su Mubai.

Da da da……

At the same time, a majestic figure riding a heavily armed skeletal warhorse galloped in from afar.

Upon approaching Su Mubai, he suddenly pulled on the reins, and his warhorse instantly raised its two front hooves and came to a sudden stop.

Immediately afterward, the figure on horseback nimbly dismounted, quickly approached Su Mubai, and respectfully bowed, saying:

"Your Majesty, you have arrived."

This is a death knight, and the undead creatures around him are not wild monsters from the Forest of Death, but the Scourge army he controls!

The Forest of Death was one of Su Mubai's destinations in the Holy Temple Empire. Before he even arrived, he had specifically ordered that the forest be taken over.

Is there anything I should be aware of?

Su Mubai nodded slightly and gently raised his hand. The surrounding mist churned, causing all the undead creatures to stand up.

The Death Knight led his warhorse to Su Mubai, and the skeletal warhorse immediately lay down.

“There is indeed a special place, Your Majesty, please follow me.”

After Su Mubai mounted the skeletal warhorse, the Death Knight led the way forward.

As he passed by a headless horseman, he gave him a brief, indifferent glance.

The latter immediately understood and quickly followed suit, dismounting and giving up his own mount.

The headless knight instantly became a headless warrior.

Upon seeing this, Su Mubai couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Goodness, this is really oppressive from all sides...

The Death Knight remounted his skeletal warhorse, and after a second of adjustment, plunged headlong into the depths of the Death Forest.

Su Mubai's warhorse didn't need any control; it easily followed along, riding on the hellfire.

Along the way, there were countless hordes of natural disaster skeletons; it was impossible to know how many times the native inhabitants of the Death Forest had been slashed.

In short, this place has become a veritable death zone, but not because of wild monsters, but because of the Scourge skeletons that have spread throughout the entire forest!

Swish!

Su Mubai could see wild monsters spawning from time to time, but they couldn't survive for more than two seconds before dying in the overwhelming attacks of the Scourge.

This is a relatively high-level map, where the monsters that spawn are all elite monsters of level 200 or higher.

But in the face of the massive Scourge army, they seemed no different from those low-level monsters.

The only difference is that the Cataclysmic Skeletons born from their corpses are more powerful.

However, this power will only make the monsters here die even faster when they respawn.

The Forest of Death was larger than Su Mubai had imagined, with an overall area even exceeding that of the Sakura Royal Capital. It could be said to be the largest wilderness map Su Mubai had ever seen.

However, on such a vast map, calamity skeletons are now everywhere.

It's easy to imagine just how far Su Mubai's Scourge Legion has developed in the Holy Empire during this period!

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

After a long while, the Death Knight leading the way suddenly pulled on the reins, and the skeletal warhorse beneath him slowed down and soon came to a stop.

Su Mubai's gaze sharpened. He could sense that the density of death energy not far ahead had suddenly increased several levels!

"The Lord, this is the place."

The Death Knight pointed ahead, the soul fire beneath his helmet flickering gently:

"There is a barrier here, and we have been unable to enter."

"Boundary?"

Su Mubai raised an eyebrow, and his figure instantly disappeared on his warhorse.

[Dead Zone Leap]!

The next moment, he appeared in front of the Death Knight.

hum~

Reaching out to touch the front, Su Mubai clearly felt an invisible barrier, which was the barrier the Death Knight had mentioned.

During this period of time, he has led the Scourge to plow through the entire Forest of Death countless times.

This small area is the only one that is inaccessible no matter what.

With the [Wheel of Time] in his possession, Su Mubai naturally had no worries about the barrier.

However, before he could summon the Wheel of Time, the ice-blue ring on his right hand suddenly began to shimmer.

hum~

Immediately afterwards, Su Mubai felt the resistance from his palm vanish without a trace, and the inertia carried him forward involuntarily, directly entering the barrier.

"dominate!"

boom!

Upon seeing this, the Death Knight charged forward and crashed into the barrier with a thud. His warhorse shook its head and exhaled two cold breaths.

"It's alright, you can take the Scourge out."

Su Mubai waved his hand without turning his head, and the Death Knight's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Yes, Master!"

The next moment, he did not hesitate to turn around and mount his original warhorse, and took the Shadow Knight's skeletal warhorse with him.

He already knew about the Holy Empire's military intervention and war.

If it weren't for the fact that the Forest of Death was a place Su Mubai had specifically instructed him to visit, he would have already led the Scourge army there to join the war.

Now that he had received Su Mubai's order, this guy naturally couldn't wait to take action.

"It seems this really is the place Dylan was talking about!"

Su Mubai glanced at the [Dylan's Frost Ring] on his finger, a look of joy on his face.

Skipping the task process and lacking key information, only someone like me with cheat codes could find the place so quickly, right?

"Where is the teleportation array?"

Su Mubai looked at the thick fog that filled the entire area and a thought struck him.

hum~

The deathly mist suddenly churned violently and parted to the sides, revealing a path with excellent visibility in front of Su Mubai.
