Brainwashing Blood Shura

Godo stood frozen in place, staring at Blood Asura, his eyes filled with shock.

Godo instinctively took a few steps back and swallowed hard.

"Bl-Blood Asura, my lord! Please spare my life!" Godo stammered.

"Hehe, count yourself sensible, kid. I won't attack you, but if my boss tells me to kill you, I won't show any mercy either!" Blood Asura giggled.

Godo's body began to tremble.

Ye Chen walked over slowly. Just as he reached Godo, Godo plopped down onto his knees.

"My lord, spare me!"

Ye Chen found it somewhat amusing; was he really that cruel and heartless?

"Godo, right?"

"Yes, my lord!" Godo nodded repeatedly in response.

"Let me ask you, how long have you been in this forest, and are you familiar with everything here?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

He tried his best not to look so terrifying.

Looking at Ye Chen's smile, the fear in Godo's heart eased slightly.

"Replying to you, my lord, I have only been here for a few days. I'm not actually very familiar with everything here; when I woke up, I found myself here."

Seeing how conscientious Godo looked, he didn't seem to be lying.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Hmm, I see. Based on your experiences these past few days, have you discovered any powerful creatures here?"

Godo thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No. This place is very large; the strongest creature I've encountered was only Rank LV39, and I haven't seen any others."

Ye Chen realized that asking this guy was a waste of time.

"Alright, then you can go!"

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" Godo acted as if he had been granted an amnesty, bolting away for fear that Ye Chen might change his mind.

There are benefits to these monsters becoming smarter; at the very least, they are easier to communicate with, unlike those low-intelligence creatures that only know how to fight upon meeting, regardless of whether they can win or not.

Ye Chen glanced at the map. Could it be true, as Aoun said, that all the powerful monsters are in the unknown regions?

Squeak! Squeak!

A screech came from above Ye Chen's head.

He looked up and saw dozens of huge birds flying toward the Northern direction.

"Strange, how did so many big birds suddenly appear?" Blood Asura said, smacking her lips.

Ye Chen just took a curious look, didn't ask any more questions, and continued walking deeper inside.

"Profound Rank Mystic Nether Fruit, good stuff. This thing greatly increases defense!"

A jet-black fruit caught Ye Chen's attention. Ye Chen leaped up and plucked the Mystic Nether Fruit.

The refining method for the Mystic Nether Fruit appeared before Ye Chen's eyes. Surprisingly, refining the Mystic Nether Fruit also required Yellow Springs Grass.

Ye Chen was speechless; the rarity of this Yellow Springs Grass was even higher than this Mystic Nether Fruit.

If someone had Yellow Springs Grass, who would still refine this Mystic Nether Fruit? Wouldn't that be a waste of talent?

"Put it down! Put the Mystic Nether Fruit down!" An unfriendly voice rang out.

Ye Chen turned to look and saw a woman holding a long whip, with three teammates following behind her.

The woman was wearing a fiery red armor and glared at Ye Chen with a fierce look.

Rank LV32, and her teammates behind her were also Rank LV32.

Judging by the situation, they were not people from the Law Enforcement Alliance.

Ye Chen frowned and said, "What? Just because you say put it down, I have to?"

The fiery red woman was about to speak, but another woman in the team stepped forward and said, "This brother, please don't mind. I am Qing Xiu! We saw this Mystic Nether Fruit first, and we even fought a Rank LV35 Advanced monster. After a round of fierce fighting, we managed to kill that monster. Therefore, this Mystic Nether Fruit should be ours."

This woman wore a white combat suit, had a delicate face, and possessed an air of nobility.

When Qing Xiu spoke, she deliberately emphasized the "Rank LV35 Advanced monster," as if highlighting her own strength.

Ye Chen found it somewhat amusing, but since it was a monster others had worked hard to hunt, he didn't feel like competing for it, so he tossed the Mystic Nether Fruit over.

Without saying much more, he turned and left.

Watching Ye Chen's retreating figure, the fiery red woman snorted, "What's with the act? Pretending to be some worldly expert. Seriously, only Rank LV32, yet daring to come to the Silent Forest alone. Really fearless!"

"Yan Wu!" Qing Xiu reprimanded softly, "How can you speak like that? Have you forgotten the principles of our Sacred Lotus Alliance?"

Yan Wu immediately apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Sister Qing Xiu, I didn't mean it!"

...

Meanwhile, Ye Chen had already arrived at the inner perimeter of the Silent Forest; almost no monsters could be seen in the outer perimeter.

Who knows how many Pet Masters were scavenging in the outer perimeter of the Silent Forest; there was nothing good left.

Blood Asura and Dark Ji looked around as they walked, also searching for things.

After searching for a while, Blood Asura became annoyed, "It's so hard to find anything. If only Gun Gun were here; that little guy finds things accurately every time! We wouldn't have to search ourselves!"

Ye Chen clasped his hands behind his back and reprimanded, "Blood Asura, you need to change this personality of yours. You have no patience at all. How can you shoulder great responsibilities in the future? I am cultivating you as a main DPS; if you are like this, how can I be at ease?"

Blood Asura's eyes lit up, and she said, "Really? You really view me as the main DPS?"

"Of course. Just think about it, from the beginning until now, when have I not prioritized upgrading you?"

Blood Asura was immediately delighted, "Hehe, don't worry, Master. I will definitely not let down your trust!"

Dark Ji rolled her eyes at Blood Asura helplessly.

Blood Asura took a deep breath and began searching for treasures seriously.

A minute later, Blood Asura exclaimed, "Master, come quickly! There is a treasure chest here!"

Ye Chen walked over to where Blood Asura was, and sure enough, he saw a chest buried in the soil.

Blood Asura picked up the Blood God Scythe, hooked the handle of the treasure chest, and pulled upward with all her might!

"Come! Come out for this lady!"

Blood Asura exerted force again and finally pulled the treasure chest out.

[Dust-Sealed Treasure Chest: Requires a Dust-Sealed Key to open]

"What the heck, it actually needs a key!" Blood Asura said, pouting.

Ye Chen searched through the Monster Shop but couldn't find a Dust-Sealed Key.

It wasn't in the points mall either; after all, the points mall wouldn't sell such things.

Ye Chen didn't feel regret; he might just stumble upon such a thing by accident.

After putting the treasure chest into his inventory, Ye Chen continued walking forward.

"Ding ding! Ding ding! Ding ding!"

A series of urgent sounds came from the Monster Chat Room, and Ye Chen opened it to check.

He saw that someone had sent a distress message in the Law Enforcement Alliance Provincial Department group.

"Is anyone in the Silent Forest? We have encountered a Rank LV35 Lord-level monster here. Come quickly to help!"

The person who sent the message was named Li Qi, and he also attached a location.

Ye Chen took a look at the location; it was not far from him.

Judging by the location, it was still in the depths of the Silent Forest.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and ultimately decided to rush toward the indicated location.
