Chapter 1030: Chapter 129: Dark Forest Chapter 1030: Chapter 129: Dark Forest N’Kai – Place of Sleep

Han Dong and Maritzis stood atop the interrupted stone bridge where half of Toad Ancestor’s brain filled the upper space, gazing at them with profound Stone Eyes.

“Hmm… Your legs are quite nice, well utilized in three months.”

“Thank you, Toad Ancestor.”

“Have you decided yet? Whether to return to your human Expeditionary Army, or perhaps to go to London City or some other place.”

“I haven’t changed my mind; I still plan to follow Maritzis to London City… However, I would like to ask Toad Ancestor if you know of any recent intelligence regarding the Expeditionary Army?”

“Well, I’ve taken an interest in a few humans who have reached King Level lately, so I watched the siege battle that took place in Blasphemous City – Minano as an incarnation.

It was a fascinating fight that I even found myself applauding. It was more interesting than some of the plays from the Abyss.

The battle lasted two months, and your humans finally emerged victorious from the siege.

One of the humans, a woman named Olivia, is quite powerful, having touched the King Level Membrane, single-handedly contributing to over 30% of the war effort.

Moreover, the assault team led by her, especially an all-female squad of saintly women, demonstrated impressive combat abilities and had a strong restraining effect on the blasphemous filth of Minano.

All in all, it was a beautifully fought war.”

“The Chaste Saintess… to think she was in charge of the first major battle. Thank you, Toad Ancestor. Now I have even less reason to go back.”

“No need to thank me. The war was interesting in its own right.

Apart from me, several other Old Kings were also watching in secret… It seems everyone is quite satisfied.

Furthermore, these humans have proved their value through this battle, earning a certain degree of say.”

“Hmm…”

“Let’s talk about your forthcoming journey. After all, the state of London City is quite peculiar, and even the two of you might face danger.

London City, being the first region to experience the incident with the participants, is now in a state of high alert.

The corresponding Old King is also scrutinizing every move in London City…

I can only transfer you to the outer wastelands of London City, the distance is uncertain.

Additionally, as I mentioned before,

The participant incident in London City has attracted quite a few ‘messengers’ from other Old Kings… Some of them may even be ill-intentioned demons mixed in.

After all, the relations between demons are even more chaotic than you might imagine.

Besides, London City is also recruiting elite vassals from outside through the participant incident… If you plan to stay in London City long-term, this might be a good approach.

The specifics are for you to grasp on your own.

As for the identity of a messenger of N’Kai, you don’t need it… With your ‘brain’ and your own status as a messenger, you should have a better chance of entering London City.”

Before Han Dong could say much more, a powerful spatial standing quickly enveloped them…

In the blink of an eye, they were standing on the surface of a tongue several hundred meters wide.

The ‘Spatial Movement’ performed by the Toad Ancestor was remarkably stable, giving no sensation of movement, nor any spatial discomfort, and it followed a unique spatial path belonging to the Toad Ancestor toward the European continent.

When the Toad’s mouth opened once again.

Han Dong and Maritzis had landed in a pitch-black forest.

This was true darkness, vastly different from the Eternal Night as Han Dong understood it.

Every source of light in the forest was devoured, leaving only darkness as a substance.

Indeed.

The darkness here was like a living fluid, flowing through the forest, making it uncomfortably eerie.

At the same time, it gave Han Dong a feeling.

As soon as a light source was created here, such as lighting a torch or using a bioluminescent device, it would surely attract dark denizens within a kilometer radius to devour the light source and its bearer.

“It’s really dark…befitting the outskirts of London City.

Luckily, Little Demon Eye can receive dark matter and feed back precise visual images to my brain.”

Next to him, Mary felt around her body, always feeling as though the darkness in this place, like mucus and worms, was crawling over her entire body.

“Are you okay?”

“Not very comfortable, I need some time to adapt. Say, how come you don’t seem to be affected at all?”

“My adaptability is quite good…wait, seems like there’s someone!”

Han Dong pulled Maritzis abruptly.

[Void Jump]

The process of the jump was omitted.

Accompanied by a flicker of starlight, everyone had already appeared ten meters above on the branches of a tree, blending into one with the tree through [Camouflage] .

Emerging slowly along the forest path was a group of locals wrapped in black cloaks, each pushing a mining cart in front of them.

The mining carts were loaded with a kind of stone emitting a dark aura, and even around the mining carts, the dark matter in the air condensed into terrifying human faces.

Based on her knowledge as an Ancestor Body, Maritzis offered a simple explanation, “These should be the ‘miners’ from London City, responsible for mining Black Rock in the outer areas of the city.”

Han Dong looked puzzled, “Miners?

Shouldn’t the aura of this bunch reach the level of ‘New Born-Demon’?”

“Don’t bring your human concepts of position into this.

As far as this Lord knows, the ‘miners’ of London City occupy a relatively high-end position and even need to pass an examination for a mining license before they can officially take up their post.

These are carefully selected Demon miners, and the Black Rock they mine will be used for the foundational infrastructure and energy replenishment of London City; some of the high-purity Black Rock can even serve as ‘food’ for the nobles.”

“Oh? Then we shall quietly follow them… their chosen path must be the safest.”

No sooner had Han Dong spoken these words than the miners’ squad suddenly came to a halt.

Black tails emerged from the bottom end of their cloaks, signaling they were entering a state of readiness for battle.

At the same time, the dark aura surrounding them morphed into numerous tentacles…this was the Dark Forest, where these dark denizens would receive a 20% attribute enhancement.

Simultaneously, they brandished strange items in their hands.

One clutched an Eyeball Giant Axe, one held a Dark Oil Lamp, one wielded a soft Tentacle Short Sword, and one cradled a vortex-shaped pendant, silently chanting a spell.

Even so, their eyes still screamed of a hint of fear.

In front of them appeared a creature with more than twenty stout goat’s hooves.

These stout hooves barely managed to support its swollen, meatball-like body,

its surface bristling with raised tentacles structured like toothless mouths,

amidst the waltzing tentacles on the upper part of the meatball, almost hidden, was a ‘human-like’ upper body–a woman with no eyes, her hands pressed against her chest–

matching the height of the trees around,

this creature exuded a scent akin to that of a newly opened tomb undergoing fermentation, a smell that excited the lifeforms nearby, inducing in them a desire to ‘fertilize.’

Even Maritzis, hidden among the branches, couldn’t help but rub her damp, thick legs against Han Dong.

Maritzis exclaimed in surprise, “How could the progeny of the Black Goat be here?”
