Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Trapped

"But Chief, think about it, no beastmen have set foot in the Death Forest for such a long time. We don’t know what dangers lie within, or whether the Wrath of the Mountain God might occur again."

Upon hearing this, Su Tang who had been acting as a backdrop finally couldn’t hold back any longer. The two were speaking so loudly that she heard everything, even though she didn’t want to!

"You’re wrong, all of you are wrong! What Ma Qing said is true, the Death Forest has a pleasant climate, and the animals and plants are all robust and healthy. These are all natural phenomena!"

Gaiyin waved at Su Tang with a faint smile, "Come here!"

Su Tang turned her head away haughtily. She was not a cat or a dog to come running at someone’s beck and call!

The next second, there was a flash of white light in the cave.

A large fluffy tiger with alternating black and white stripes appeared in front of Su Tang.

Gaiyin shamelessly revealed his white belly, rolling around on the ground. He extended a paw towards Su Tang and stared at her with his big, watery eyes!

Su Tang’s eyes instantly widened, and involuntarily, she moved towards Gaiyin, diving merrily into the patch of white fur on his belly.

But before she could laugh, another flash of white light passed, and the soft fur had transformed into Gaiyin’s hard chest.

Su Tang’s heart trembled, she inwardly cursed, "Damn!"

It’s a trap! She fell for it!

By the time she reacted and tried to escape, it was already too late!

Her waist was held captive by a pair of strong hands, stopping her from moving an inch!

Her entire body was flipped over by Gaiyin, her back pressed against his chest, she could even feel his breath on the top of her head.

"Alright, continue talking..."

Under Yadang’s teasing gaze, Su Tang put up a symbolic struggle before giving up.

She sighed and reluctantly said, "If you’re referring to volcanic eruptions as the Wrath of the Mountain God, then you don’t have to worry about it happening again in the Death Forest. I can’t explain the specifics to you, but if a place has experienced it once, it would take tens of thousands or even millions of years for it to happen again."

Since Su Tang had previously mentioned how to calculate years, Gaiyin nodded, "If that’s the case, the last Wrath of the Mountain God appears to have happened a little more than a hundred years ago..."

Su Tang nodded and said, "Yes, there’s absolutely no need to worry about the Wrath of the Mountain God happening again in the Death Forest! The Death Forest is safe!"

With furrowed brows, Yadang forcefully argued, "But ever since I was a child, my mother told me that the Death Forest was terrifying. It’s completely black, there’s no game, no plants, no beastmen. Anyone who steps into the Death Forest, not a single beastman has survived!"

Su Tang replied seriously, "Once the storm outside the cave settles, you can check it out. You’ll find that the Wilderness now is no different than the Death Forest your mother described! After the volcanic ash comes a strong acid rain. By that time, almost all plants will have been corroded by the heavy acid rain. The Wilderness now is the Death Forest of the past!"

Yadang’s body shivered intensely!

Deep down, he didn’t want to believe it, but Su Tang’s reasoning was sound and convincing and he couldn’t help but believe her.

Gaiyin messed up Su Tang’s hair with his hand and whispered, "If all the plants have died, how can the Death Forest be as Ma Qing described? Shouldn’t it be barren?"

Su Tang removed Gaiyin’s hand and when she saw him still wanting to fidget, she hugged his hand to her chest!
