After leaving Tianji City, I walked east for three days and finally arrived outside a lush jungle. A huge stone tablet beside the forest carved the words "Not returning to the Forest Forest" and there were still many soldiers from the Tianji Empire guarding the way, but at a glance, I knew that most of them were reserves, and many soldiers were even equipped with military uniforms.

Zhuang Shaoyu rode his horse at the forefront, looking for a path to enter the Forbidden Forest. Although it was a forbidden land, there were still occasionally brave hunters entering to hunt. For them, there was no place forbidden land for survival and support of their families, so there must be a way to enter the forest that hunters can definitely open up. His group of eight people rode horses, and they had to have a road to walk in the mountains. This is obvious.

The spring rain just ended, and the forest was green, and the blooming white flowers in the green made people feel pleasing to the eye. Sikong Yao and Shang Qian also smiled. After all, they are all women. Seeing such a beautiful scenery will naturally open your heart and feel comfortable.

Along the way, more than a dozen soldiers holding spears walked on the muddy and dead leaves. They all looked blue and yellow, and they looked like they lacked nutrition and were not in a remote place. These soldiers must not be able to eat anything good.

The outfits of Zhuang Shaoyu, Beimingjie, Sikong Yao, Shang Qian and others were either rich or noble at first glance, so a group of soldiers did not dare to act rashly. The veterans who took the lead raised their spears tremblingly and said respectfully: "Several young men and ladies, this place is not returned to the forest. It is listed as one of the forbidden areas by the Empire. Anyone is forbidden to enter. Please don't be embarrassed by us soldiers. Please take a detour."

Zhuang Shaoyu reached out and pointed to the depths of the forest and asked, "Sir, what's in the forest, what's there?"

"In the forest..."

The veteran looked dim and said, "There are everything in this forest, monsters, demon spirits, giant pythons, beasts, etc., and those who work in the office can only set up camps in the open land, otherwise they will be attacked. This month alone, seven brothers in our garrison regiment have died under the sharp claws of the demon spirit..."

"The demon spirit is so arrogant and dares to attack the imperial army." Zhuang Shaoyu was stunned.

The veteran nodded: "Young Master doesn't know that there will be a Saint Martial Warrior in every thousand troops guarding the Buguilin. The strong aura emitted by the Saint Martial Warriors is enough to shock ordinary little monsters, but... But the 2,000 people in our garrison regiment are mostly recruits, so the adults above did not arrange a Saint Martial Warrior for us. The demons in the Buguilin are spiritual, knowing that I am easy to bully and attack repeatedly... Alas, I really don't know when the empire will send the warriors of the Tianji Dragon Knights to wipe out these arrogant spirit beasts."

"They will come."

Zhuang Shaoyu comforted the veteran and asked again: "Is there a way to get into the mountains here?"

"Young Master is going to enter the mountain." The veteran was stunned: "I advise you not to enter the mountain. Unless you are like a dragon knight, you will definitely go without returning to the Forbidden Forest. After so many years, too many demon spirits in the Forbidden Forest are about to ascend to the Tao, which is very fierce..."

"We are traveling to the mountain to enter the mountain. Don't stop us." Zhuang Shaoyu said lightly.

The veteran frowned, and the several new soldiers behind him immediately raised their weapons to surround Zhuang Shaoyu, Lin Muyu, Sikong Yao and others, shouting: "No one must trespass into the forest. This is the law of the empire. Do you want to disobey the law of the empire?"

Zhuang Shaoyu smiled slightly, took out a gold token from his arms and said, "What if I have this?"

Everyone looked at it and the recruits didn't know them at all, but the veteran squinted his eyes and looked at the words on the token. He couldn't help but tremble all over. He threw away the spear and knelt in the mud: "Sir, please see the master... Master... Master must be Zhuang Shaoyu, the young master of the Grand Situ."

"Just as long as you recognize Situ Jinling, can we enter the mountain now?" Zhuang Shaoyu asked proudly.

The veteran frowned and nodded, "Young Master wants to enter the mountain, so let's go into the mountain. Legend has it that Mr. Zhuang Shaoyu is the strongest among the younger generation in the imperial capital. I believe... I believe that the demon spirit in the mountain will not do anything to the young master, but my subordinates will still advise you, be careful, the lord in the forest is a demon emperor. Once the demon emperor's attention is, it may not be so easy to escape."

As he said that, the veteran glanced at Sikong Yao and Shang Qian and said, "What's more, he brought two such beautiful ladies..."

He obviously said that the two women were dragging their legs. Sikong Yao was unhappy. He opened his five fingers and Bing Xuan roared fiercely, rolling up the fallen leaves around him. With a "bang" sound, the tree nearly twenty meters high was cut off in half and fell down.

"What, can't I enter the Buguilin?" Sikong Yao asked with a smile.

The veteran was shocked and thought that this group of people was not simple. One was the number one master in the new generation of Tianji City, and the other was such a powerful girl. The other few who did not take action must not be simple.

Shang Qian smiled slightly: "Okay, A Yao, don't make things difficult for them, take out the pass order of the Battle Hall."

Sikong Yao smiled, took out a piece of paper from her arms and shook it open, and said, "I can see clearly. Is it okay to enter the forest license order signed by Sikongming, the leader of Tianji Sect, who signed it with his own hands?

The veteran nodded: "Yes, yes... The nearest path into the mountain is not far behind, I'll take you there..."

"Yeah, thank you."

...

The veteran led everyone into the mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The road at the foot of the mountain was covered with mud. After soaking by spring rain for a few days, it turned into a pool of mud. Most of the soldiers in the garrison regiment were covered with tattered straw sandals, and many of their feet were even worn out and blood was dripping. Lin Muyu rode his horse and walked side by side with the veteran and asked softly: "Sir, the empire's military strength is so strong, and the important thing that guards do not return to the Forbidden Land should not be carried out by the new recruits. Why is this?"

The veteran sighed: "Young Master doesn't know. A month ago, the entire Tianji Empire issued an edict, and the major legions began to train and prepare for war. God knows what is going to happen. All regions are crazily arresting people as new recruits. The elite troops of the four major legions are no longer being sent to garrison. Depending on the situation, they are going to fight, and they are fighting an unprecedented battle."

"oh……"

Lin Muyu nodded: "Do you want to conquer the Tianjue Empire or the Blackstone Empire?"

"That's the matter of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. How could we soldiers know that we will hit whoever our Majesty wants us to hit."

Zhuang Shaoyu smiled slightly: "Young hero, what do you do inquire about these military affairs? Logically speaking, as a ranger, you should ask more about Tianjizong and Dragon Knights."

What a Zhuang Shaoyu, he is so alert.

Lin Muyu smiled faintly and said, "It's just curious. If these new recruits fight against the demon spirit, they will be a death sentence, which is incredible."

“That’s right.”

Zhuang Shaoyu looked up at the sky and said, "But what Your Majesty and the Marshal decided must have their intentions. Don't guess at any time."

"Um."

Lin Muyu continued to remain silent.

...

Soon after, he entered the Buguilin. As the outside world said, the Buguilin was extremely dangerous. Lin Muyu closed his eyes and let the war horse follow Sikong Yao's horse, holding the reins in his hand, but the spiritual vein technique had been fully spread out. He quickly detected a stronger aura nearby. There was a stronger aura less than three miles apart. There was a few more farther away, and there were also a little further away. There was also a breath about fifteen miles away. It was very strong, at least a demon spirit of the demon lord level. It seemed that the night was destined not to be too peaceful.

Zhuang Shaoyu glanced at Beiming Festival and smiled and said, "Little Prince, our competition at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet half a year ago has not yet decided the outcome. Why not... Let's compete again this time, how about it?"

Bei Mingjie smiled faintly: "Shaoyu wants to compete."

Zhuang Shaoyu took out an exquisite bag on his waist, shook it, and said, "This is the bag I used to hold the demon spirit stones. It is still empty now. From now on until we walk out of the Buguilin, see whose bag contains more demon spirit stones and stronger. Use the quality of the demon spirit stones to decide the outcome. How about it?"

"Ha, I'm just thinking." Bei Mingjie agreed happily, saying, "But once the demon spirit appears, those who can do it will accept it. Brother Shaoyu should still understand this principle."

"Of course." Zhuang Shaoyu nodded: "If it is the demon spirit that the little prince likes, I, Zhuang Shaoyu, will never compete for it."

"Okay, one word is certain."

At this moment, Shang Qian's beautiful eyes swept towards Lin Muyu and Liu Buyi, then raised her lips and said with a smile: "Since it's about to compete, the more people, the better. I heard from A Yao that the strength of this young hero is still above A Yao. If this is the case, it's better for the young hero to participate in the competition together. The three of them compete with the strongest people in our industry. How about it?"

Sikong Yao was a little excited and looked at Lin Muyu, her eyes full of encouragement.

Lin Muyu complained secretly. Shang Qian is really a not-so-simple woman. She just wanted to see how capable she was. She couldn't refuse after a few words, so she nodded: "Just participate."

Zhuang Shaoyu said: "Ha...that's good, the three-person competition is even more interesting, but... since it's a competition, you always have to set a reward, A Yao, Miss Shang Qian, what kind of reward do you think the winner of the competition will get the best."

Sikong Yao said: "Gold."

"It's too vulgar." Zhuang Shaoyu denied with a smile.

"Then... a demon king-level demon spirit stone."

"This... is a bit cold and has no practical significance..." This time, the little prince of Beimingjie denied it. His eyes were always wandering on Shang Qian. Obviously, Beimingjie is also one of Shang Qian's suitors. He came for Shang Qian, and his purpose was very simple.

Sikong Yao saw his thoughts, smiled slightly, flew over, landed behind Shang Qian, hugging Shang Qian's waist and giggled.

"Little girl, what are you going to do?" Shang Qian couldn't help but smile.

Sikong Yao grabbed the Xiuzhi cloak behind Shang Qian and said, "This robe contains the empire emblem pattern rusted by Sister Shang Qian's own hand, which is also the beloved thing of Sister Shang Qian. It is better to do this. Sister Shang Qian sacrifices her to win the competition. Whoever can win the game will give her sister Shang Qian's close-fitting robe. How about it, this idea is good."

Bei Ming clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's so good."
