Chapter 108: Iron Bone Leopard

  Another week has passed, and Xiao Chen and his companions have been in the forest for nearly half a month.

  The night-colored forest is too vast, stretching 3,000 kilometers in length and several hundred kilometers in width. Such a large forest can easily lead to getting lost or straying off course. Moreover, the forest is fraught with danger, and ferocious beasts lurk within its depths.

  As Xiao Chen and others went deeper, the ferocious beasts they encountered also became increasingly formidable.

  They are almost all top-notch creatures among fierce beasts, such as the Jiaolong Barbaric Cow, which is only one step away from advancing to a benevolent beast.

  This made Xiao Chen not dare to be careless either.

  Top-level ferocious beasts, one or two of them, he doesn't take seriously, but when encountering a group of top-level ferocious beasts, he can only escape for his life, so they come and go with caution.

  The dark forest, darker than anywhere else, had no roads, only shrubs and towering trees. In the silent forest, except for the occasional eerie howls that came from unknown places, there was only the faint sound of footsteps from Xiao Chen and others.

  The faces of the four were all very solemn, but compared to Fei Nian's earlier pale complexion, the three women behind Xiao Chen had less fear and awkwardness on their faces, replaced by a kind of determination. Nearly half a month of non-stop fighting, walking between life and death, repeatedly severely injured and almost dying, it was unimaginable how quickly people could grow up.

  Although their strength has not improved yet and they are still six-star, they all know that the previous three plus one may not be their strongest hand.

  As they walked, they came to a large tree, Xiao Chen took out the map, looked at it for a moment, then took out an ink brush and added a few strokes to the map. Then, using his magic, he inserted a green light point into the large tree. Now they had already gone deep into the forest for 200 kilometers, the map's cursor was very vague, only showing some blurry terrain outlines, so Xiao Chen had no choice but to personally improve the map.

  That green light spot is a banner of the Ji Fa!

  With this magical emblem, Xiao Chen can sense the emblem's aura from several kilometers away, serving as a walking beacon.

  The four of them continued on their journey, opening up a path through the dense forest.

  Suddenly, the scene in front of them made them all stiffen their bodies.

  The ground, which had clearly been ravaged by some powerful force, was littered with several mangled corpses. The bodies were not yet fully decomposed, and on one woman's head, a look of terror and shock still lingered. Several white maggots crawled in and out of her empty eye sockets.

  The three girls' faces were slightly pale, but compared to the scene where they vomited non-stop before, they are now relatively calm.

  Xiao Chen walked over and took a look.

  "There were four people, and they were all killed by someone, but their corpses had been eaten by wild beasts." he said.

  "Killed by someone, how can you tell?" Xiaoluo Xue suppressed her disgust and walked to Xiao Chen's side.

  "Look, these wounds..." Xiao Chen walked to a rotten corpse and pointed at several wounds: "These are sword injuries. Wild beasts wouldn't use swords. There's also some magic damage. And look, their valuable items, not a single one is left."

  "What if it's a road that people dare not take even after they die?" Luo Xue raised her doubts.

  Xiao Chen walked up to the female corpse with only two broken legs left, and said with a sigh: "This woman is naked, and look at her lower body, there are injuries, obviously she was raped."

  The three women heard this and felt a chill run down their spines.

  "The most dangerous thing anywhere is always human! Even in these so-called forbidden lands, it's the same. Let's go." Xiao Chen didn't linger for long.

  They continued on their way forward, and as a day's journey drew to a close, night began to fall.

  Four people, I went to a big tree, they separately climbed up the tree, took out the dried meat that had been roasted in the previous few days and ate some with water, then rested on the tree, leaving Xiao Chen to keep watch at night. For the past week, they have all taken this approach to rest, which is safer.

  Xiao Chen was meditating, his thoughts were spreading out, and he was on high alert to the maximum extent while also recovering his physical strength.

  Nothing happened all night.

  The next day, several people continued to search in the forest for the moon-colored flower.

  Suddenly, waves of fighting sounds came from the front, accompanied by the roar of fierce beasts. In the sky, a fire cloud swept across, obviously a wizard casting a powerful spell.

  Xiao Chen led the three women to the front of the kiln and pulled open some grass leaves.

  "It's Ironbone Leopard, so many." Galuo Xue exclaimed softly.

  In the distance, on a slope not far away, seven leopards with iron-gray fur, about three meters long, were constantly attacking an adventure team.

  This team has five people, three men and two women. Two of the men are knights, and the other man and two women are clerics.

  At this time, they were barely holding off the Iron Bone Leopard's attack. The Iron Bone Leopard was a top-tier ferocious beast, and if it took another step forward, it would become an Iron Bone Crippled Leopard, which was also one of the best among first-class beasts. Therefore, the Iron Bone Leopard was extremely powerful.

  They are as strong as steel, with infinite power, and all leopards have a characteristic, that is, they are extremely fast.

  Two knights desperately resisted the attack of the saber-toothed tiger.

  But under the siege of Tiegu Xiong, they were left with no choice but to retreat. From time to time, Tiegu Xiong would charge into their encirclement, his massive leopard head, sharp claws and that black whip-like leopard tail attacking the mages standing at the back, causing their defensive magic to flash constantly.

  "If we go on like this, we'll be killed sooner or later, let's fight!" The male lawyer who was obviously the leader of this group of adventurers shouted loudly.

  "Alright, let's go!" Any adventurer who can make it this far into the Night Forest is no ordinary bird.

  Two mighty warriors charged forward, their bodies radiating intense energy, their auras bursting with brilliant light.

  It seems that they used some kind of secret technique to forcefully increase their own strength, and their power suddenly increased by a factor of two. Both of them were eight-star warriors with extremely strong powers. The iron sword swept across, accompanied by a powerful aura that pierced through, and actually managed to hold down the Xuegu Bone Leopard's claw.

  "Exploding Fist Strike!"

  "Rampage Fire Snake!"

  "Hurricane Kill Array!"

  The three law enforcers behind took advantage of the swordsman's momentary blockage of the Lockbone Leopard to release their strongest attack spells. Boom boom boom, a swarm of fire bats surged up, several giant snake-shaped flames engulfed and swallowed several Ironbone Leopards, followed by a massive dragon vortex over ten meters in diameter sweeping across, with countless blades dancing in the air.

  Wū. Dūn

  Iron-boned leopards let out a few mournful cries, and several leopards with flames all over their bodies rushed out.

  Boom! A flame-bodied leopard suddenly crashed into a swordsman, and another flame leopard rushed out, sweeping its paw across the swordsman's head, shattering half of his brain.

  "Not good! Run, this group of leopards is coming!"

  The leading male monk hastily fled, and the remaining two women and one man also followed closely. Ah! Another miserable cry, a female monk who was slightly slower in speed was caught up by several leopards, fell to the ground, and several leopards madly scratched and tore at her.

  Save me! The female lawyer screamed, but immediately, the protective shield on her body was torn apart by several leopards, and then there was a loud scream, and she fell silent.

  Those who saw this scene, including Xiao Chen and the three women, were all silent, even the three women showed a hint of intolerance but did not move. If it were the them from before entering the forest, they would have definitely taken action, but after being deceived by Dasmond and undergoing two weeks of devilish training, their temperament had undergone subtle changes, learning to be cautious and adapt to situations. The seven Iron Bone Leopards that had gone mad were too frightening, even they couldn't stop them.

  Suddenly, however, they found that the first runner, Fa Shi, suddenly turned around and ran in their hidden direction.

  "This brilliant... snow-covered camellia is a surprise."

  "Your auras have been discovered by him, he is a Nine Star Law Enforcer." Xiao Chen said.

  As expected, Fa Shi rushed towards them while running and shouting: "Brothers, help!"

  "We're retreating." Xiao Chen said in a low voice, preparing to leave with the three women.

  Ah! Behind him, another mournful cry echoed, and the Taoist priest's whole body trembled. Seeing that the person hiding in the bushes ahead didn't move, his face showed despair and fear. He suddenly shouted: "Brothers, as long as you help me, I'll give you a reward of one million Li coins! Moreover, I know where several precious spiritual herbs grow in the Night Color Forest - Xian Cao, Black Sand Fruit, and Moonlight Flower are all there. I can take you to them!"

  Xiao Chen and others who were originally prepared to leave suddenly stopped in their tracks upon hearing the three words "Moonlight Flower".

  "He knew the growth point of the moon-colored flower." Xiao Chenhui murmured slightly.

  They have been searching for me for so many days, but I still haven't arrived at the Moon Flower. The difficulty of finding this flower can be seen from this.

  "Master, let's just forget it. Tiegu Xiong is too vicious and I won't go to the Moonlight Flower Festival anyway." Xuechai advised.

  "No, if it's just to save these few people, there's no need to kill Iron Bone Leopard." Xiao Chen said calmly. He took out a bottle of azure-colored catnip medicine and a bottle of pale green rapid medicine from his bosom, swallowed both bottles, and then casually applied a Wind Extreme Speed buff on himself.

  "You wait here for me, I'll be back soon!" Xiao Chen threw out a sentence and disappeared in an instant.

  The empowerment of three medicines had already made Xiao Chen's speed reach an extremely terrifying level.

  What!

  That fleeing monk felt a gust of wind blow by, and he heard a hoarse voice whispering in his ear: "Remember what you said."

  Then he heard a fierce magical blast and Iron Bone Leopard's miserable cry from behind.

  Xiao Chen arrived at Tiegu's side with a terrifying speed, blasting out seven phoenix bullets. The raging wind bullets slammed into Tiegu's body, and even their steel-reinforced bodies were blasted away, rolling out, with a large piece of skin and flesh torn off, and blood seeping out.

  The gazelle's attention was suddenly drawn to Xiao Chen.

  Xiao Chen shot out seven wind pellets again without hesitation, then his body fluttered and he swept towards a direction.

  The iron-boned leopard that was struck again let out a frantic roar, chasing after Xiao Chen. Before it could take another step, it was dragged away from the place by Xiao Chen.

  That law enforcement officer watched as the Iron Bone Leopard was led away by Xiao Chen, and his heart skipped a beat. He turned back to look, but only one other evening officer stumbled towards him, the other three having already died under the leopard's claws, a pitiful sight.
