Chapter 609: Chapter 609: The Two of Us Together Are Equivalent to One Beast

Five minutes later, four men and a horse entered the forest.

The black horse could now walk, albeit with a limp, but there didn’t seem to be any other issue.

Lu Xiao even suspected that the black horse was faking it, simply not wanting to carry him.

The forest was somewhat dense, and not much light filtered through.

"Try to keep quiet, and let’s go," Ma Ziqian instructed before heading straight forward.

Gu Xi and Gu Wang immediately followed, with Lu Xiao and the black horse bringing up the rear.

About half an hour later, Ma Ziqian stopped, his brows furrowed into a "川" character.

Half an hour had already passed, and they hadn’t encountered a single Demonized.

It was too eerie.

Such a large expanse of forest, especially one used by the Xuanyuan Tomb as an assessment point, should, by all accounts...

Wait, could it be that the assessment of the Xuanyuan Tomb was not to withstand the attacks of the Demonized and make it through the forest?

If not, then what could it be?

It seems there’s nothing else that could be connected to the forest.

"Brother Lu, do you have any thoughts? I feel something is very wrong," Ma Ziqian looked back at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao pursed his lips, I of course know, but I can’t say.

Even if I did, you wouldn’t believe me.

It’s not that there are no Demonized in the forest, but that they have already received orders from Red Eyes not to come here.

My friendship with Red Eyes, that’s ironclad.

"Not sure, I’ve never been here before, maybe we just got lucky and chose a path without any Demonized," he replied.

Ma Ziqian shook his head.

He hardly believed in luck; to him, the world was a huge probability model, and everything was a collection of probabilities.

He had done research on the forests of the Divine Continent Realm.

He compiled this research into a large database.

According to his algorithm, there was an average of 3.2 Demonized per hundred square meters in the forest.

Of course, some forests had more, and some had less.

They had walked for roughly thirty minutes, covering an estimated distance of six kilometers, with a visual range of five meters to each side.

Thus, by his calculations, they had yet to encounter a single Demonized in an area of sixty thousand square meters.

Does that make sense? Is this something luck can explain?

"The assessment might not involve encountering Demonized," Ma Ziqian said with a tight frown, his brain spinning rapidly.

Lu Xiao looked at Ma Ziqian but said nothing and made no move.

Initially, he had thought about quietly getting Red Eyes to send some Demonized to block their way, but seeing Ma Ziqian’s situation, he decided to wait and see how Ma Ziqian would solve the current problem.

If he got too fixated, maybe his potential wasn’t as high as Lu Xiao had initially predicted.

Time ticked by, and Gu Xi and Gu Wang were also patient, not saying a word as they stood and waited.

"I’ve got it," Ma Ziqian’s eyes suddenly lit up after about five or six minutes.

"Eliminate all impossibilities, and then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

"So, it’s not that there are no Demonized in the forest, nor are we lucky. Someone is helping us, someone is making the Demonized avoid us."

Hearing Ma Ziqian’s conclusion, Lu Xiao’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Man, Brother Ma is freaking awesome!

Five minutes to deduce, with almost no known conditions, and yet he cracked the right answer.

"I finally know what it feels like when others face me," Lu Xiao mumbled to himself.

Yeah, it’s that feeling of absolute reliability, just like reading a crazy music sheet where every note seems off.

"So, Brother Ziqian, who’s helping us?" Gu Xi couldn’t help but ask.

"No idea, there’s a fifty percent chance it’s Chai Tong, you and your brother each have a five percent chance, and the black horse has a ten percent chance."

Gu Xi: ???

Gu Wang: (▔□▔)

Why are we, siblings, rated the same as a beast when you add us up?

"But that doesn’t add up, Brother Ziqian, that’s only seventy percent. What about the other thirty percent?"

"Brother Lu, the remaining thirty percent is yours," Ma Ziqian raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao’s mind screamed in admiration for Brother Ma, while he had to keep up the pretense of innocence, as if he knew nothing.

It was tough.

"Ah, right, right. So, are we going or not?" he asked.

"Of course, we run, sprint out, with such powerful assistance, what’s there to fear at all," Ma Ziqian declared, and began to sprint ahead with all his might.
