A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 450 Owl

Chao Bufan stuck out a finger, picked at his nose, and snorted. Then he said, "Guys, since we're going to 'face death bravely' tomorrow, let's go crazy one more time!"

Upon hearing this, Bridal quickly raised an eyebrow at Fenrit and the others, and asked excitedly, "What do you mean?"

Chao Bufan glanced at them, seeing their excitement, and said calmly, "You just want to see those so-called 'foreign creatures,' right? Then let's go!"

After saying that, he took the lead and headed north towards the Magic Forest.

Fenritt: "Extraordinary! You said it yourself, we didn't say that!" Brydo and the others quickly followed.

Chao Bufan: "Don't think I don't know. Although I didn't say it, that's what I was thinking."

Fenritter and his three companions: "We don't."

Chao Bufan: "You have them."

Fenritt and the other three: "No."

Chao Bufan: "Yes."

Fenritt and the other three: "No."

Chao Bufan: "Yes, no."

Fenritt and the other three: "Yes."

Chao Bufan: "See, they've all admitted it!"

Fenritter: "Fine! You win."

Chao Bufan: "It's not that I won, it's that you lost."

Dosru: "Is there a difference?"

Chao Bufan: "There is a difference, because I also lost."

Bridal: "Oh? Then who won?"

Chao Bufan: "Of course, friendship wins."

Currydo: "Friendship?"

Chao Bufan: "Yes, it's friendship."

Fenrir and his three companions: "You're right, it's friendship! Long live friendship!"

Everyone: "Long live friendship!"

Unbeknownst to them, the five of them found themselves at the edge of the magic forest.

"Guys, are you guys mentally prepared? Once we're in, what awaits us is a bloody storm." Bridal was the first to speak. Although his words had a hint of seeking advice, they were mostly filled with excitement and anticipation.

"Although we've experienced a lot of tense and exciting things these past few days, I feel that this time is different from the past," Chao Bufan said.

"How are they different?" Dosru asked.

“Because—this may be the last time the five of us come here,” Chao Bufan said calmly.

“That makes sense,” said Bridal. “For friendship, for honor, and for ourselves, let’s go in and have a good, good time!”

"Alright, let's start the massacre."

"Hahahaha!"

The five of them burst into laughter, and then stepped into the forest together.

As before, as soon as Pu Yi stepped into the forest, a slightly rotten and damp smell wafted into his nostrils. The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, some of which were still green, while others had withered and were beginning to rot.

"rustle……"

A low, soft sound came from beneath their feet. The thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground felt like stepping on soft cloth. A few withered leaves turned over, and two or three small black insects crawled out from under the leaves, quickly scurrying away and soon burrowing into the leaves next to them.

The further you go, the dimmer the light becomes in the forest. The lush canopy of trees almost completely blocks out the sky above, with only a few rays of light shining through the gaps in the leaves. A thin mist, like smoke, drifts gently through the forest, making it even darker and more mysterious.

Around them, numerous tree roots and branches, protruding from the ground like writhing dragons, stretched out intricately like a spider web. Ancient vines twined among the strange rocks and large trees, while wild grasses sprouted new green and moss grew lush and green. A light mist, like smoke or gauze, drifted among the distant vegetation, obscuring the view beyond. A fresh scent permeated the air, and looking down, one could see a few crystal-clear water droplets clinging to the leaves and blades of grass.

It looks like it rained here!

The forest was deep and quiet, and everything seemed to exude a primitive and wild atmosphere, as if this quiet and deep forest was a place full of danger and fear.

Everything remained the same. Fortunately, the five people seemed to have gotten used to and adapted to the taste.

However, the five hadn't gone far when they discovered something very strange: a number of owls had appeared in the forest, perched on tall branches, their eyes fixed intently on the five outsiders. Yet, their eyes seemed to hold no hostility whatsoever.

"Goo~"

One owl let out a hoot, then closed its eyes in a lazy manner. The other owls, as if given a command, also closed their eyes, completely ignoring the five suddenly appearing outsiders.

"Strange, how come there are so many owls here in broad daylight? Aren't owls nocturnal animals?" Bridal asked, somewhat surprised.

“Owls are one of the natural enemies of bats, and now that many vampire bats have appeared here, it’s not surprising that they are here,” Chao Bufan said.

As the five walked, they cautiously surveyed their surroundings. Aside from the occasional cooing of an owl or two, the only other sound was the rustling of leaves under their feet. The forest was utterly silent, the towering trees standing like giants, coldly observing the five teenagers who had suddenly appeared in the forest.

Deep in the forest, the dense branches and leaves almost completely blocked out the sunlight overhead, and a thin mist drifted gently throughout the forest, making it even darker and more profound.

Standing in such a vast and dark forest, even though they had prepared themselves mentally, the thought that a terrifying beast might suddenly leap out from their side at any moment, tear them apart, and devour them piece by piece made Bridal and his companions feel a chill run down their spines.

"Gee~"

Suddenly, from an unknown place, a very strange bird call rang out. The sound was so faint that it was almost swallowed up by the rustling of leaves underfoot.

With his exceptionally sharp ears, the eerie bird call didn't escape his notice. He quickly extended his divine sense and immediately discovered that many bats were hiding deep within the foliage of the surrounding giant trees, virtually invisible to the naked eye. These bats were more than ten times larger than ordinary bats; they weren't black, but a fiery red like a burning flame, radiating an eerie red glow. They hung upside down behind the branches, seemingly asleep.

Did you hear anything just now?

He asked Bridal and the others calmly, but his words startled them. They all stopped and listened carefully for a while. The surroundings were completely silent, deathly silent, and they couldn't hear a sound at all.
