Goodbye Meng Fan

Jiamu stood to the side, the light in her eyes shining even brighter.

Suddenly, a fierce wind blew up, and a figure flew over rapidly.

The figure slowly descended, landing on a thick tree branch.

Ye Chen and the others immediately became vigilant, watching the person standing on the branch.

[Wu Duo]

Rank: LV55

Tier: Lord Rank

Attribute: Dark

Combat Power: 68000

HP: 1400000

Race: Black Mist Clan

It was actually a Tier 3 race, a mid-tier race!

This Wu Duo was definitely not simple.

Behind Wu Duo was a black mist cloak, six black sharp horns grew on top of its head, and it wore black armor on its chest; its lower body was wrapped in mist, making its face unclear.

On its thick arms grew a row of black blades, its complexion was deathly gray, and it had two triangular eyes that were entirely white.

Wu Duo was estimated to be two point nine meters tall!

"How dare you kill my subordinate! You have a lot of nerve!" Wu Duo said coldly.

The moment Zhang Zheng saw Wu Duo's information, his figure instantly retreated several meters, a trace of fear appearing in his eyes.

Hong Ye's pupils also constricted, and she exclaimed, "A LV55 Lord Rank monster, we're finished!"

Jiamu tugged on Ye Chen's clothes and whispered, "Brother Ye Chen, this Wu Duo is very strong, and the Black Mist Clan is especially insidious and cunning; they almost never act alone. He definitely has subordinates following him, probably hiding nearby."

Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly and looked around, but he saw nothing.

If what Jiamu said was true, then the Black Mist Clan's stealth methods were truly highly advanced.

Wu Duo looked at the group, eventually fixing its gaze on Jiamu. Wu Duo's pupils slightly constricted as it muttered to itself, "It's actually someone from the Holy Wood Clan! How did someone from the Holy Wood Clan get mixed up with these Pet Masters?"

Ye Chen stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency Wu Duo, he ambushed us first; we were only acting in self-defense. We only came here to find resources, not to start a war with Your Excellency."

Ye Chen spoke with a sincere tone. The other side had strength in numbers, and this Wu Duo was powerful. Coupled with the people hiding nearby, his own side had almost no advantage.

Last time he fought a great battle with Gu Yu; if not for Gun Gun triggering a critical strike, he might have been done for.

In the current situation, it was better not to have a conflict.

Wu Duo's eyes rolled as it pondered for a moment, then said, "Since that's the case, I, Wu Duo, am not an unreasonable person. However, you did kill my subordinate, so you need to give me an explanation. Hand over the shadow stone you just obtained, and we'll call it even. How about that?"

"That works. Thank you for your understanding, Your Excellency Wu Duo." Ye Chen nodded, took out the shadow stone, and threw it to Wu Duo.

Wu Duo caught the shadow stone, glanced at Jiamu, and turned to leave directly.

As Wu Duo left, several large trees nearby suddenly shook a few times, as if something had departed.

The three-legged bird hiding to the side saw this, nodded, and put away the cyan flame in its mouth.

Zhang Zheng let out a long sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said, "Fortunately, fortunately this Wu Duo isn't an unreasonable person, otherwise we would really have been in trouble."

"Yes, it seems this Dark Forest is not simple!" Hong Ye said with emotion.

"Brother Ye Chen, are we still continuing?" Jiamu asked, blinking her eyes.

Ye Chen nodded: "Let's go, but we need to be even more careful."

Suddenly, rustling footsteps sounded. Ye Chen and the others instantly became vigilant, gripping their weapons tightly.

The grass ahead shook, and something was walking towards Ye Chen and the others.

"Careful! There are at least four people!"

"Mm!"

The grass was pushed aside, and four figures appeared.

Ye Chen and Hong Ye were stunned; the arrivals were actually Meng Fan and Meng Ren.

Meng Fan was also startled when he saw the four of them.

"You! How are you here!" Meng Ren asked in shock.

Hong Ye laughed: "We left a long time ago. Following that Xiang Yin, I was afraid I wouldn't live long enough to return."

The other two laughed: "Hahaha, great minds really think alike. We also had enough of that idiot Xiang Yin. On Brother Meng Fan's suggestion, we snuck out."

Hong Ye introduced them to Ye Chen: "These two are from the Donglai Army, Peng and Peng Xiang."

Ye Chen cupped his hands to the two, counting as a greeting.

Peng and the other also cupped their hands in return.

Meng Fan's expression was not good, and he looked at Ye Chen with a gloomy face.

Meng Ren's eyes were fixed tightly on Zhang Zheng, his gaze full of greed.

Ye Chen also looked at Meng Fan without showing weakness, the air instantly filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Peng noticed something wrong between the two and stepped forward: "Brother Meng Fan, what's wrong? Do you have a grudge against this little brother?"

"Heh! A grudge with him? Is he even worthy? I just don't like the look of him." Meng Fan sneered.

This guy really knows how to put on an act.

Ye Chen, however, laughed: "If you don't like the look of me, just gouge your eyes out so you don't have to see me."

"What the hell did you say! Do you believe I'll beat you to death right now!"

Before Ye Chen could speak, Hong Ye blocked him behind her, her Aura instantly erupting, and she said angrily: "Meng Fan, watch your mouth! My Junior Brother is not someone you can humiliate!"

"Hong Ye! This is a personal grudge between me and this little brat Ye Chen. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"

Meng Fan said coldly, while simultaneously summoning his pet. Its Rank was actually LV42, one level higher than Hong Ye's Extremely Flaming Devil.

Seeing Meng Fan's pet, Hong Ye didn't retreat in the slightest and laughed: "That's hilarious. Ye Chen's business is my business. If you dare to be rude to him, don't blame me for being rude. If you don't believe me, feel free to try!"

Hong Ye protected Ye Chen tightly, and the Extremely Flaming Devil also stood by, ready to fight.

A warmth rose in Ye Chen's heart; White Leaf was right, Hong Ye was just like Hao Sheng, extremely protective of those under her wing.

Seeing that the two were about to make a move, Peng immediately stepped forward to persuade them: "You two, you two, don't argue, don't argue, there's no need. It's not easy for us to have come out together; we should help each other. Killing each other is the most unwise choice."

"So what! We're all going to die anyway, what can you do about it!" Meng Fan said dismissively.

"But this is a dangerous place. If some monster runs out, wouldn't we all be in danger?" Peng said with a serious face.

Meng Fan thought about it, felt that this made sense, snorted coldly, and withdrew his Aura.

Hong Ye also snorted and said nothing more.

Meng Ren looked at Zhang Zheng, smiling, and said in an extremely gentle voice: "Second Saintess, come with us. One is LV41, one is LV35; do you think they can provide you with sufficient protection? It would be better to come with us; we can protect you better."

Although Meng Ren spoke very gentlemanly, the desire in his eyes could not be hidden.
