"Ah~, the air here is so fresh, unlike the stuffy feeling underground."

"Little Tiger, keep acting up. If other people find out, they'll drown you in their saliva."

"That's right. Without Dao Yi, we wouldn't have been able to enter the underground space, let alone break through again."

Ji Xiaohu thought about it and agreed. Their group's overall strength had already surpassed that of the second group. At their current rate of progress, they believed it wouldn't be long before they could catch up with the third group and the fourth group. All of these changes were brought about by Ji Daoyi.

Wang Yueyue solemnly instructed, "Alright, the Tagalag Forest of Monsters is just ahead. There may be dangers inside at any time, so everyone must be careful once we go in."

"Don't worry, Sister Yueyue, you've been saying it all the way here. Our ears are calloused from hearing it so much. You don't still think we're newbies, do you?" Ji Zihan rubbed her ears, as if they really had calluses.

"Alright, alright, I won't nag anymore. Be careful once you're inside. I won't help you unless absolutely necessary." After saying that, Wang Yueyue disappeared.

"Sister Yueyue, aren't you coming with us?"

"No, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and it will affect your training."

After Wang Yueyue disappeared, Ji Daoyi and his group of five excitedly entered the Tagalag Forest of Monsters.

"Brother Dao, I've only ever heard of the Tagalag Monster Forest before. This time, we're not only here, but we're also going to enjoy the scenery." Ji Xiaohu skipped ahead and turned to Ji Daoyi as he spoke.

"Little Tiger, don't make such a fuss. You might attract some monsters you shouldn't have. Then we'll really be dead before we even get started," Sun Puyue said, rolling her eyes.

“Puyu is right, we should keep a low profile. Don’t make it seem like we’ve never seen the world before. Don’t lower our standards,” Ji Zihan added.

"Dao-ge, Wang Dan, you two aren't even speaking up for me. Look at them, what are they pretending for? It's our first time here, what are they acting like big shots for?" Ji Xiaohu said disdainfully.

Upon hearing this, both Ji Daoyi and Wang Dan acted as if they didn't know this person and had no connection with him.

......

Ji Daoyi and his group moved forward slowly, and after half an hour they had only covered ten miles.

They encountered very few demonic beasts along the way; they were mostly low-level beasts of little value, which Wang Dan dealt with.

As for why it took so long to travel only ten miles, it was all because Ji Daoyi kept picking spiritual herbs along the way. These spiritual herbs all grew in inconspicuous places, and it was only because he was sensitive to the fragrance of the herbs that he was able to pick them.

Ji Xiaohu suddenly complained, "Brother Dao, we haven't encountered the beast tiger yet. How long do you think it will take to complete this mission?"

Ji Daoyi laughed and said, "What's wrong, Xiao Hu? You can't even take half an hour?"

"Brother Dao, I thought I'd encounter a lot of monsters here and get some exercise, but I didn't even get a chance to fight." Ji Xiaohu kept whipping the grass in front of him, acting like a child.

"Don't worry, as long as we haven't found the beast tiger, you'll have plenty of opportunities. Besides, even if we complete the mission, we can train here for a while and won't leave immediately."

"That's right, Xiaohu, you need to work on your temper and not be so impulsive all the time."

Upon hearing what everyone said, Ji Xiaohu immediately shut up.

suddenly,

Ji Daoyi made a concealment gesture, and everyone immediately crouched down to hide and prepared for battle at any moment.

Sure enough, a moment later a large wild boar was seen running rapidly ahead, followed closely by a gray wolf demon.

The wolf demon sped up and blocked the wild boar's path, attempting to catch it.

When the wild boar saw the wolf demon blocking its way, it was too slow to turn around and could only continue forward, fighting desperately for a chance of survival.

Thinking of this, the wild boar not only did not slow down, but sped up, and it rammed its long tusks hard into the wolf demon.

The wolf demon hadn't expected the wild boar to dare charge at it again, colliding head-on with it, and its eyes were full of mockery.

Seeing this, Ji Daoyi secretly shook his head. "This wolf demon is too arrogant. If it keeps following closely, this wild boar will eventually become its meal. It actually couldn't resist running up to the wild boar and confronting the boar's sharpest weapon head-on. It's really courting death."

Just as Ji Daoyi had predicted, the wild boar's desperate charge pierced the wolf demon's head with its tusks, and it was then flung dozens of meters away.

Only after the wild boar left did Ji Daoyi and his group lift the alert.

"I never expected that the wolf demon would kill the wild boar. Is this still a wild boar?"

"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. So we must never be careless when facing any opponent. Otherwise, we will end up like this wolf demon, dying because of our own folly," Ji Daoyi murmured, gazing at the wolf demon's corpse.

No one expected that they would be taught a lesson by the monsters of the Tagalah Forest.

It got dark quickly, and without sunlight, the temperature in the forest dropped several degrees.

"It's getting dark. We need to find a safe and secluded place to rest as soon as possible. There will be even more monsters out hunting at night, and if we get entangled, we could easily be wiped out," Sun Puyue said worriedly, looking at the darkening sky.

"Where should we look? There are only trees all around us. Why don't we rest in the trees tonight?" Ji Xiaohu looked at the tall trees around him and felt that the only place to rest was in these trees.

"No!" Ji Daoyi and Sun Puyue said at the same time, and then they looked at each other.

"why?"

Ji Xiaohu was surprised that not only Ji Daoyi objected, but even Sun Puyue, who had been mostly silent, objected as well, which puzzled him.

"Puyu, why don't you tell us?"

Sun Puyue nodded and said, "The reason I oppose Xiaohu's suggestion is that there are not only land-based monsters here, but also flying monsters. If we spend the night in the trees, we will become food for the monsters when they come out to hunt for food."

“Pu Yu is right. There are definitely more monsters out hunting at night than during the day, and our visibility is worse than theirs at night, so we are less able to detect danger. But don’t worry, I’ve already found a good place. It’s a cave, and we should be able to spend the night there.”
