The Sea of Fire Forest consisted of a maple forest. The magnetic field here was strange, and the maple woods stayed crimson all year round. Seen from a distance, they resembled a sea of fire, and over time, visitors came to call this mountain range the Sea of Fire Forest. Its original name, the Red Leaf Forest, seemed to have been forgotten by the world instead.
Early that morning, Qin De led a sizable force through the mist between the mountains and into the Sea of Fire Forest.
Within the group, quite a few Qin Family guards wore strange expressions at the sight of Lin Shuguang, an unfamiliar face.
For once, Qin De's personal steward was not at his side that morning. Instead, there was a mysterious young man... especially given the trace of fear in Qin De's attitude toward Lin Shuguang, it inevitably gave them something to ponder.
But with Lin Shuguang walking beside Qin De, none of them had an opportunity to sound him out.
"A pack of Blood Wolves roams the outskirts of this forest. Their strength is roughly at the Viscera Refining Realm. Killing them isn't difficult, but there are just too many of them. Once they bog us down, our men will suffer heavy losses, and it'll be hard to maintain our normal strength as we head to the treasure site... not having enough men means too much risk," Qin De said with a frown.
Today, a Black Robe Elder stood beside him. Perhaps because of this elder's presence, Qin De sounded less cautious than he had yesterday.
Lin Shuguang remained calm. "They're here."
They're here?
What's here?
Just as Qin De froze, a sudden tremor came from the woods nearby.
The next moment, more than a dozen Blood Wolves sprang out of the undergrowth.
