Chapter 1148: The Ancient Forest

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

“Cat of Fate, you finally showed your face.” Seeing the running black cat, a trace of joy appeared in AlJohn’s eyes.

With the Book of Gods in his hands, AlJohn was searching for the black cat under the guidance of the gods.

The black cat was not simple. It was once a cat that lived with the Sky God, and it possessed the ability to see the future.

“Qingfeng Li, I will kill you after I capture the Cat of Fate.” AlJohn casted a cold glance at Qingfeng Li before entering the ancient forest.

Black Puppy seemed to know the kitten. It said anxiously to Qingfeng Li, “Let’s go in there now. We must capture the Cat of Fate because it possesses magic powers and can lead us to the Spring Water of Life.”

In the ancient era, Black Puppy was the spirit beast of the East and swept through the eastern self-cultivation world while the Cat of Fate was the spirit beast of the West who swept through the western self-cultivation world. They had battled once and ended in a draw.

Black Puppy was very familiar with the capabilities of the Cat of Fate and knew that they must prevent the Red Cloaked Cardinal from getting the cat.

At Black Puppy’s words, Qingfeng Li realized the importance of the issue. They must get the cat since it was a key factor concerning the Spring Water of Life.

“Let’s go in.” With a wave of his hand, Qingfeng Li led the group toward the ancient forest.

They walked fast and entered the forest shortly. The moment they were in there, Qingfeng Li felt a smothering presence.

The trees in the ancient forest were as tall as 500 meters, blocking all the sunshine overhead.

It was total darkness in the forest so it was fortunate that Qingfeng Li had asked Bernard to prepare large quantities of supplies, including torches and flashlights.

Qingfeng Li switched on a flashlight and continued on his way, while the rest took out torches.

The torches were used to drive away some demonic beasts that were afraid of the fire while flashlights could give light to the way in the distance.

From the depth of the dark trees surrounding Qingfeng Li, dozens of green light beams appeared.

“Boss, it doesn’t feel right. Something’s watching us,” seeing the surrounding light beams, Daoist said nervously.

“I know. They are demonic beasts. You must be careful,” Qingfeng Li said with a slight frown.

At his words, the members of the Wolf Fang Team looked around cautiously. They had been scouts before and knew that ancient forests were the most dangerous places.

Qingfeng Li walked forward with a torch in hand. He was responsible for leading the way and sensing if there were any dangers with his spirit energy.

Suddenly, his expression changed since he sensed a sharp dangerous aura ahead, which made his whole body break out with goosebumps.

But when he looked, he could see nothing.

“Daoist, shine ahead with your flashlight and see if there is something there,” frowning, Qingfeng Li said to Daoist, who was walking beside him.

Daoist nodded and shone the flashlight in front of them. It was a super flashlight that could illuminate a distance of 2,000 meters with a battery lasting 24 hours. They could see clearly everything within the distance of 2,000 meters.

Qingfeng Li looked out and saw nothing except trees. There were neither demonic beasts nor poisonous pests.

Qingfeng Li frowned with bafflement.

He had sensed dangers ahead but could see nothing of the kind. It was weird.

Qingfeng Li gestured for everyone to stop and looked closely.

This time, he finally noticed the difference between the trees ahead and the trees on the sides.

The trees on both sides were black while the trees ahead were a dark red color, unnoticeable without close observation.

“There is a bloody smell in the red trees,” Black Puppy said, twitching its nose.

It had a sensitive nose and smelled something weird.

The smell of blood?

A trace of surprise appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes. He walked forward several steps and did smell a faint scent of blood, so faint that an ordinary person would not notice it.

“There is danger in the trees.” Qingfeng Li warned everyone to be careful.

He tried to lead them to another direction but found dangers there too.

In every direction, there were dozens of pairs of eyes watching the, shining with a greedy green light and filled with a primal hunger.

“Boss, we are surrounded. Which direction do we go?” Daoist asked with a frown.

Besides Daoist, the others had all found they were in danger.

They all looked at Qingfeng Li, waiting for his decision.

After a moment’s consideration, Qingfeng Li said, “Since there are dangers in all directions, we will walk ahead because our purpose is to cross the ancient forest. We can only go forward.”

Qingfeng Li led the way with Wolf Fang Team in the middle and Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake and the Fire Wolf King taking the end.

The three demonic beasts were all very powerful and could frighten away the demonic beasts behind them.

Qingfeng Li had walked 100 meters when his expression changed. He saw a white skeleton under a big red tree.

The skeleton belonged to a human and the terrifying presence and power emitting from it startled Qingfeng Li.

He deduced that the skeleton belonged to a Spirit King Realm master, whose blood, flesh, skin, and organs became nutrients for the ancient red tree. It was a terrifying sight.

Hiss!

From the depths underground came a hissing sound. It was very faint, but Qingfeng Li heard it with his excellent hearing ability.

“Careful! There is something coming from underground!” Qingfeng Li warned the group with an urgent expression.

Swoosh!

The moment he gave the warning, a black thing shot up from the underground as quick as a lightning bolt and was upon Qingfeng Li in a blink of an eye.

Qingfeng Li’s two fingers shot out and caught the black object instantly.

It was a hard piece of tree root with an extremely sharp end.

An ordinary self-cultivator would have been pierced by it if they were caught off guard but Qingfeng Li was different. He had cultivated the Mortal Purgatory Body, and with skin as hard as iron, he could easily block the attack of the sharp tree root.
