Chapter 361: Chapter 287: The Power of Rules (3rd update, asking for monthly tickets)

Zhang Zhongmou and Zhao Shichang used their swords to select some thin, long tree trunks. Once shaved, they served as bamboo poles, with two associated with each raft.

Eleven people proceeded to board the two large wooden rafts. With a push from the wooden poles against the water, the rafts began to elegantly paddle towards the Newbie Sinkhole Forest on the opposite bank.

For safety, Qin Jiagui had purposely built the two large rafts so large that they appeared steady and hardly wobbled while floating on the water. Standing on one, Su Yu looked at the rapidly approaching dense forest on the opposite bank, a sense of sentiment welling up within.

They started their journey out of the forest, and now, Freedom Village has also taken a considerable scale. Finally, they’ve got another chance to return to the forest, and their feelings and perceptions, are completely different.

When they had just fallen into this forest, they didn’t understand anything. The encounter with the little Goblin Beasts caused many injuries and deaths in their ranks. Later, finding their way in the forest, they could say that they spent every night under the threat of death. Not a single night they could sleep soundly.

Now, returning again, they’re already powerful Fourth Order, Level Five, or even Sixth Order, and the monsters that appear in Newbie Forest at most are Fourth Order. The dynamics between them have changed. The forest, which used to fill them with unspeakable terror, holds no secrets or fears for them anymore.

Now, they finally understand why those members from the "White Tiger," whom they encountered in the forest, could appear so splendidly dressed in the forest. Their mentality back then was probably the same as theirs now. In the eyes of the newcomers, the terrifying and bloody Newbie Forest is nothing more than an ordinary place, even possibly the safest place in this world.

The eleven of them crossed the "Oblivion River" on two wooden rafts. The "Oblivion River" was calm at this moment. Qin Jiagui, Zhao Shichang, Zhang Zhongmou, and others paddled with bamboo poles made of wooden rods, pushing the raft towards the opposite bank of the river.

"When we enter Newbie Sinkhole Forest, try not to fight if it’s possible." As Qin Jiagui was paddling, he voiced seriously, "Especially for you three who have surpassed the fourth-order realm, Su Yu. If you fight there, you might face punishment."

Su Yu nodded. Ada, who was lazily slung over his shoulder, said: "That’s right. According to the rules, Black Iron Warriors who exceeded Fourth Order are prohibited from intervening in there. The greater the disruption, the more severe the punishment. It can even lead to downfall."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu, Ruan Minghong, and Murong Dingyuan all looked grave. Ruan Minghong and Murong Dingyuan were brought into the Newbie Forest by Su Yu in confusion. Until now, they still didn’t know why they were entering the Newbie Forest.

Finally, Ruan Minghong couldn’t hold back her curiosity anymore. She asked, "Su Yu, why are we going into this forest?" She really couldn’t understand why they would risk going deep into the Newbie Forest.

Su Yu smiled and replied, "As I’ve told you, don’t call me ’sir’. You can call me Su Yu, Brother Su, Brother Su, or Su Di. It sounds more amicable."

Ruan Minghong was a little hesitant, but Zhang Zhongmou had already laughed and said, "Or you can directly call him ’Feather Boy’ or ’Little Feather’. This guy is humble. If you call him ’sir’, he will feel uncomfortable. Rather, you can call me Zhong Mou Sir. Hehe, I find it pretty comfortable."

Immediately, Su Yun, Ma Ziye, and others covered their mouths and feigned a vomiting expression. Zhang Zhongmou’s face turned red with anger. He said, "What are you guys making faces for?"

Ruan Minghong looked at them, stunned at first but then couldn’t help but laugh. Suddenly, she felt they were all very interesting, and her previously uneasy mood dispersed quite a bit.

Su Yu smiled at Ruan Minghong and Murong Dingyuan, saying, "I know you’re wondering why we’re going to Newbie Forest this time. The reason is actually quite simple. In that forest, there are a lot of our friends who are classmates from the same school. Due to various reasons, we got separated. We were lucky enough to leave the forest and reach Freedom Village. Now... we want to return hoping to find them and get them out."

Now that it was clear, Ruan Minghong and Murong Dingyuan gave understanding nods. Murong Dingyuan couldn’t help but say, "I didn’t expect Sir Su to value friendship and righteousness so much... You’re truly different from Wang Di..." Upon uttering Wang Di’s name, his mouth clamped shut, feeling it was inappropriate to mention Wang Di at this time. He looked toward Su Yu to check his reaction and seeing that he was not angry, he let out a sigh of relief.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Wang Di is just fascinated with power and combat. If he had not become the leader of a village, he’d actually be a very admirable friend and adversary. It’s a shame..."

Shaking his head, he suddenly asked, "What about you? What were you doing before you entered this world?"

Ruan Minghong said, " I was a member of a cheerleading squad, just a plain and ordinary one. Later, a few buildings in our district collapsed and fell into the sinkhole... My parents, relatives... and neighbors... everyone arrived... but only I survived and left the forest. All the other people... died here."
