Reincarnation Paradise: Master is lucky

Chapter 364 Black Forest
After everyone strictly resisted Chi Yao's speeding behavior, Su Xiao and Wu Sanxiong took turns as drivers. After driving for nearly two days, the Black Forest was already in sight.

Looking ahead, the forest ahead was completely dark in terms of both trees and branches. The dense branches and leaves overlapped each other, almost completely blocking the sunlight from the sky, leaving only tiny shadows projected on the ground, allowing people to barely see things, but the vague sense of blur brought people a greater sense of fear.

Chi Yao got out of the car, looked at the black forest in front of him, took out the assembled crystal skull, projected the map and said.

"Everyone, please get off the car. It will be more dangerous to drive the rest of the way."

Following the instructions on the map, Chi Yao quickly found the entrance to the black forest. When he got closer, he could see a layer of black fog at the edge of the black forest. Chi Yao picked up a stone and threw it out. The moment the stone came into contact with the black fog, it broke into dust and floated down.

It can be seen that this layer of black fog is extremely corrosive, like a door lock in the black forest, which prevents outsiders from entering while also preventing the creatures inside from escaping.

According to Chi Yao's understanding of the original work, the Black Forest is a prison, which holds many dangerous creatures from the void. The black fog is a measure to prevent them from escaping. The black fog will gradually dissipate at regular intervals, which may take three to five days or more than ten days. When the black fog dissipates, the void prisoners in the Black Forest can come out and move around. Is this the time for the void's common sense "Black Forest Prison" to exercise?

Chi Yao pointed to the place where the black fog was the thinnest, which was the entrance to the Black Forest, and said to Old Bal.

"Old Barr, it's your turn."

"Give me a minute."

Old Bal nodded, took a few steps forward and took a deep breath. His eyes and mouth turned red, revealing a burning breath.

A wisp of flame spewed out from Old Baal's mouth, and the flame condensed into a blazing white and rushed straight into the black fog.

Sizzle—snap—

The white flames crashed into the black fog, and the two seemed to be incompatible, with bursts of explosions heard during the collision.

Old Bal breathed fire for a full minute, burning a hole as high as a person out of the thin black mist at the entrance.

After spitting out fire, Old Bal looked dejected, but he did not stop and rushed forward.

"Hurry, it can only last for a dozen seconds."

Chi Yao, who was well prepared, followed Old Bal and rushed forward. They rushed through the black fog hole and successfully entered the black forest.

As soon as the few people entered the black forest, the black fog at the entrance surged and gradually healed.

After entering the Black Forest, everyone discovered that the scenery inside the Black Forest was completely different from what it looked like outside!

Different from the dark fog-surrounded, dead silent and dull scene outside, the real scene inside the black forest is full of lush greenery, singing birds and fragrant flowers. The clear air even has a faint sweetness.

[You have entered the dangerous area: Black Forest. ]

[You are corroded by the source of the black fog, and you receive 1 point of real damage per second. If you are corroded for more than ten minutes, the damage will be doubled. (For example: 2 points of real damage per second after ten minutes, 4 points of real damage per second after twenty minutes, 8 points of real damage per second after thirty minutes, and an instant death judgment will be made every 5 seconds after half an hour.)]

Chi Yao felt a force of energy permeating the black forest, constantly corroding all objects that entered the black forest. The moment he entered the black forest, the corrosive energy from the source of the black fog rushed towards him. Chi Yao subconsciously activated the destined energy in his body, and the light golden energy immediately emerged to protect his entire body, as if driving the corrosive energy from the source of the black fog out of his body.

[You have used the energy of destiny to protect your body. Based on the characteristics of the energy of destiny, you will consume 5 mana points per minute to ignore the erosion effect of the source of black fog.]

At the same time, Paradise's information also popped up. Chi Yao couldn't help but clench his palms, and understood in his heart, 'It seems that the stability of the destiny energy is really a special attack for this kind of erosion effect. Now I need to consume mana to maintain the effect. It is only because my destiny energy is sufficient in "quality" but not "quantity". After all, this is the source of black fog that is enough to cover the entire black forest. I can only use quality to offset quantity.'

'This way, if the primordial seeds are exhausted, I can hold on for at least six hours just by relying on the protection of the destined energy.'

Then Chi Yao took out a processed native seed and gently squeezed it. New green vines grew out of the native seed and clung to his clothes. After confirming that the erosion of the [Source of Black Mist] had disappeared, he took the destined energy back into his body to save mana. Looking at the green around him, Brother Wusan sighed: "Is this the Black Forest? It's completely different from what I imagined before!"

After everyone had pinched open the native seeds, Chi Yao showed the map to everyone. Chi Yao clicked on a door frame-shaped location at the lower right side of the black forest on the map.

"We are at the entrance now."

Chi Yao pointed to the upper-middle left part of the map, where there was a triangular pyramid-like symbol.

"And our goal is here, which requires us to cross most of the Black Forest."

Chi Yao continued to move his finger and moved to a position further to the left of the triangle, where there was also a door frame-like mark.

"The good news is that there is an exit not far from the target location. We can go out directly from here after completing the mission."

"Based on the distance, it takes us about eight hours to reach the destination, and only one hour to reach the exit from the destination."

Hearing this, Brother Wusan and Xiao Mihu breathed a sigh of relief. They only carried 10 native seeds, which meant that their activity time was only 20 hours. Having relatively ample travel time made them feel more at ease.

Then Chi Yao looked at Old Bal and asked.

"That's all the information I have. Old Barr, do you have anything to add?"

Old Barton paused. He first glanced at Su Xiao, who had no expression on his face, then looked at Chi Yao. After thinking for a while, he spoke.

"If I'm not mistaken, our Yasenman tribe's exploration records of the Black Forest mentioned that this place is a rather dilapidated ruin."

"Are you sure this is the place we're looking for?"

Chi Yao raised the crystal skull in his hand and replied.

"Only with the key can we find the ruins. We will know when we get there."

After everyone agreed, they set off quickly. In the Black Forest, time is life, and the sooner they reach the destination, the greater the chance of survival.

Brother Wusan walked in the front and was responsible for clearing the way, which was the duty of the main tank.

After them came Su Xiao, Chi Yao, Bubu Wang and Xiao Mihu, and finally Old Bal was in charge of the rear guard.

If they encounter an enemy, Su Xiao can rush forward quickly, and Chi Yao can cast spells in the middle to take care of both ends. The auxiliary Bubuwang and Xiao Mihu can also be protected.

As everyone continued to move forward, the surrounding sounds gradually disappeared, making the entire team even quieter, as if even the sound of the wind had disappeared.

This silent atmosphere brought great pressure to everyone, even Chi Yao who knew the reason in advance, because the number of undead following behind them had reached thousands!
Perhaps their numbers were not enough to capture Chi Yao and his group, so the undead maintained a cordon and piled up outside the cordon. In Chi Yao's perception, these undead were stacked layer upon layer, gathered together like ants, and the broken flesh and blood seemed to fuse together under the squeezing, forming pieces of flesh.

Until the trees ahead became sparse and the view opened up, a pitch-black wild boar appeared in front of Chi Yao and others, gnawing on something.
