Chapter 2154: Chapter 2421: Thistle Forest
Master Gua saw the turmoil subside and let out a long sigh.
Fortunately, it was just two experts from the Bai Family who came. If the top elders from the Bai Family had come, his formation might not have been effective.
He looked at Ren Feifan, feeling a bit worried, and said, "Sir, these two will surely go to the Bai Family’s Clan Leader. If they send someone stronger, it will be difficult for me to stop them..."
The Dragon Lady looked at Master Gua: "Are you trying to chase us away? I haven’t finished my meal yet."
"No, no, no..." Master Gua shook his head repeatedly and switched to a different tone, saying: "I’m considering for your sake, after all, the Bai Family has deep roots and some reputation on Pilgrimage Mountain..."
At this moment, Ren Feifan spoke: "I know, we will leave after finishing our meal."
Master Gua asked: "Then where do you plan to go, sir? Is there a place for you to stay?"
Ren Feifan’s eyes narrowed, thinking of something, and he quickly asked: "If I want to go to the mountain top, how should I go?"
Master Gua was taken aback, only reacting after a while!
Ren Feifan actually plans to go to the mountain top!
Is he seeking death?
Although there is opportunity at the mountain top, the disciple of the Saint Doctor’s Gate could sense the Evil Qi on Ren Feifan and would definitely want to kill him!
"Sir, listen to me..."
"No need to say more, just tell me the fastest route to the mountain top." Ren Feifan decisively replied.
If it’s a blessing, it’s not a curse; if it’s a curse, it can’t be avoided!
He came here to seek the ancient Vermilion Bird, and he would not rest until he reached the mountain top!
Master Gua was stunned, his face turning slightly pale, and could only say: "If you want to go to the mountain top, the fastest route is Thistle Forest, but it’s very dangerous there. Many who entered never came out alive, and I heard it’s recently the sacrificial day of Thistle Forest..."
"Thistle Forest?" Ren Feifan thought for a moment and continued, "Give me a marked map."
"Sir..."
Master Gua just wanted to persuade him. After all, Ren Feifan saved him; he couldn’t help Ren Feifan but also couldn’t harm him.
A glance from Ren Feifan swept across his body, and Master Gua immediately dared not speak.
"Sir, I will go get the map."
Since the lord has decided, saying more would be useless!
In no time, Master Gua prepared a map and marked the route on it.
Thistle Forest is a straight line leading to the mountain top, uninhabited year-round, with rampant wild beasts.
Ren Feifan accepted the map.
Master Gua also gave Ren Feifan a Spirit Stone device of Pilgrimage Mountain.
Similar to a secular mobile phone.
"Sir, if I receive any news about Su Mohan, I will send the exact coordinates to this device, please check it."
"Alright."
Ren Feifan carefully examined it; this thing seemed quite advanced and interesting.
Just then, the elderly man who had been injured earlier walked in hurriedly and said: "Sir, it’s not good. Someone from the Bai Family is here again!"
Upon hearing this, both Ren Feifan and Master Gua turned pale in unison!
This speed is too fast.
Just left, and they’re here again!
Could the Bai Family have mastered the ability to tear through the void?
Ren Feifan’s eyes also became serious; if they persist like this, he wouldn’t mind eliminating the Bai Family!
"How many experts from the Bai Family?" Master Gua seriously asked.
"One..."
Hmm?
Master Gua was confused, only one came?
Could it be the old master from the Bai Family?
Just as everyone was puzzled, a graceful figure came in!
It was Bai Ling!
Bai Ling saw Ren Feifan here and let out a long breath: "Finally found you!"
"Bai Ling, why are you here?" Ren Feifan asked in surprise.
He thought the Bai Family sent some top expert to kill him but didn’t expect it to be Bai Ling.
Master Gua saw they knew each other, and with his experience, he instantly understood the situation.
Bai Ling glanced at the Dragon Lady and smiled: "Little sister, we meet again."
She was about to reach out, but the Dragon Lady dodged directly: "Don’t touch me, and don’t call me little sister, we’re not that familiar."
The Dragon Lady’s voice was rather hostile.
She then put down her chopsticks, puffed out her chest, but when she noticed Bai Ling’s chest was much larger, she turned away with displeasure.
Bai Ling found the Dragon Lady amusing, looked at Ren Feifan, and said: "I sneaked out. I heard my dad is going to deal with you; he truly loves meddling in my affairs... I’m so angry. By the way, did any Bai Family expert hurt you?"
"It’s not that easy for them to harm me," Ren Feifan replied.
Bai Ling checked the time and quickly said: "At that speed, those two should reach the Bai Family soon; if we don’t leave, it will be troublesome. Brother Ren, where do you plan to go?"
Ren Feifan raised the map in his hand and said: "Thistle Forest."
"What! You want to go to Thistle Forest? That place is... a dead end, but I like it. I want to go too!"
Bai Ling didn’t follow the usual path.
Ren Feifan quickly refused: "You just said Thistle Forest has big problems; why are you following us? Go back to your Bai Family, if something happens to you, your dad will kill me."
Bai Ling smiled mysteriously: "Don’t you remember I told you, you are the chosen one, and the chosen one doesn’t perish so easily! No time to lose, let’s go quickly, or the top experts from the Bai Family will definitely arrive!"
Ren Feifan hesitated for a few seconds and could only agree temporarily.
Having one more person is one more chance of success.
Besides, with the cards in his hand, this so-called Thistle Forest shouldn’t keep him trapped.
...
Thistle Forest.
Nightfall.
Three figures were weaving through it.
It was Ren Feifan, Bai Ling, and the Dragon Lady.
"I heard my father mention this Thistle Forest many times. It’s not that terrifying; many have passed through, though it’s risky. It’s said many high-level Monster Beasts are here, unlike those at the foot of the mountain. The Monster Beasts raised by the Spiritual Energy of Hidden Gate and those by Pilgrimage Mountain can’t compare. Anyway, just try not to make noise."
Bai Ling explained.
"Also, even scarier than Monster Beasts is human nature. Thistle Forest is also known as the assassin’s paradise. Many cultivators choose to kill and loot here, so everyone should stay alert."
Ren Feifan held the Ancient Dust Sword in his palm, paying attention to all surrounding situations.
Massive trees formed a dense forest, almost covering the sky, dark and eerie.
All around were thorns and fallen leaves; the thorns were sharp and could cut the skin slightly and even absorb your blood.
"Be careful of the thorns in Thistle Forest. They seem harmless but are highly toxic and can suck blood. Watch the ground too; there may be traps among the fallen leaves..."
Bai Ling explained patiently like a guide.
She had lived in Pilgrimage Mountain for nearly 20 years and was familiar with all of it.
The reason she sought Ren Feifan was that she feared he couldn’t adapt to this survival environment.
After all, Pilgrimage Mountain is much more dangerous than the Hidden Gate.
