Chapter 286 Entering the Great Forest

"Gentlemen, as I mentioned before, I have some urgent matters to attend to in this great forest. Farewell," Jiang Xuan said to the warriors, noticing that it was getting late.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ling. Take care." The swordsman bowed respectfully to Jiang Xuan.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ling. Take care." Seeing the swordsman say this, the other swordsmen simply repeated his words.

Of course, the other martial artists besides the longsword warrior also watched Jiang Xuan's advice to the giant swordsman and the longsword warrior.

In this way, they also benefited to some extent, so it was only natural for them to express their due gratitude to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan clasped his hands in greeting to the warriors, and then walked with the father and son of the giant sword warrior towards the edge of the great forest.

Seeing that Senior Brother Ling had said so, the other martial artists did not rush forward, but simply followed behind, waiting for Jiang Xuan and the other two to go further and further away.

Among them, two female martial artists and one male martial artist, unaware of the situation, wanted to continue following Jiang Xuan, but were forcibly pulled back by the other martial artists.

"Senior Brother Ling just said that he has important business to attend to. What, are you going to ruin Senior Brother Ling's plans?"

"I finally got to see Senior Brother Ling, and I want to go with him into the great forest to help him hunt ferocious beasts," the male martial artist said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

“How do you know that Senior Brother Ling went to the Great Forest to hunt? Couldn’t he be going north through the Great Forest? Or perhaps to take care of something else?” said one of the martial artists who had grabbed the male martial artist.

"Moreover, even if Senior Brother Ling is going hunting in the great forest, as a martial artist, don't you know the meaning of the word 'burden'?"

"With Senior Brother Ling's strength, unless he encounters a third-tier ferocious beast, he can defeat any second-tier or lower ferocious beast."

The martial artist added.

The three martial artists who had been stopped, though still somewhat unwilling, stood still and stopped chasing Jiang Xuan and his companions.

After getting away from the longsword warrior and the others, Jiang Xuan and his group arrived at the edge of the great forest.

At this moment, the path beneath our feet stretched into the depths of the great forest, seemingly without end.

"Senior Brother Ling, may I accompany you into the great forest?"

Just as Jiang Xuanfang was about to speak, the usually shy giant swordsman spoke up.

The boy with the giant sword looked surprised, but quickly calmed down.

He understood his son, so he stood calmly in place, waiting for Jiang Xuan's answer.

"Junior brother, let me ask you, why did you and your father come to this great forest?" Jiang Xuan placed a hand on the giant swordsman's shoulder and asked seriously.

"To become stronger." The giant swordsman said without hesitation.

“Alright. Since you want to become stronger, then everyone else is just an assistant. There is only one person who can help you. Do you know who it is?” Jiang Xuan looked at the giant swordsman and asked.

"Myself," the giant swordsman answered firmly once again.

It has to be said that Jiang Xuan was somewhat surprised by the giant swordsman's quick response.

However, Jiang Xuan's face was full of satisfaction. He patted the giant swordsman's shoulder and said, "Go."

The young man with the giant sword nodded and said, "Senior Brother Ling, my home is in Mowai Village on the edge of the Qixi Desert. If you are going to the Qixi Desert and pass by Mowai Village, you are welcome to stop by for a cup of tea."

"Okay," Jiang Xuan said calmly.

After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he saw that although the giant swordsman's father did not say a word, he looked at him with a very polite smile.

"Take care, you two." Jiang Xuan clasped his hands in a fist salute to the father and son with the giant sword, and then left gracefully. The middle-aged giant swordsman, seeing Jiang Xuan disappear into the forest with a graceful flash, looked quite moved. He exchanged a brief glance with the giant swordsman, and they also walked into the depths of the forest, understanding each other perfectly.

After disappearing into the forest, Jiang Xuan paused briefly before continuing northward along the western side of the forest.

Basically, the situation in the great forest this time is similar to the last time.

Jiang Xuan had a feeling that, compared to when he first came to this great forest, all the ferocious beasts in the forest seemed to have gone into hibernation.

Another possibility is that most of the ferocious beasts have already fled this forest.

Jiang Xuan then recalled what Elder Sha had said when Jiang Xuan first came to the Great Forest.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan quickened his pace and continued to walk north along the edge of the western forest.

"Boom!"

As Jiang Xuan accelerated, he heard a loud bang.

The loud noise didn't seem to be far away, and Jiang Xuan quickly realized something was wrong.

"not good."

As Jiang Xuan spoke, he slowed his pace slightly, his face full of hesitation.

Looking up at the sky, after a few moments of hesitation, Jiang Xuan continued heading north.

On the east side of the forest avenue, in a relatively spacious area surrounded by tall trees, stood a warrior wielding a giant sword.

The giant sword belonged to a middle-aged man who held a silver greatsword in his hand, panting heavily as he gazed into the distance.

Behind the middle-aged man was a boy who was covering his other arm with one hand, and red blood was slowly seeping out from between his fingers.

The boy stared at the giant sword stuck beside him, his furrowed brows reflected on its massive blade.

"Are you alright?" the middle-aged greatsword warrior asked, panting heavily.

"It's nothing, just a scrape." The boy then took out a strip of cloth from his pocket and tightly wrapped it around his arm to stop the bleeding.

As martial artists, they often carry bandage-related items with them.

That is why the injured boy appeared unusually calm at this moment.

However, the middle-aged man standing in front of the boy was quite unsettled at that moment.

Not far from him stood a huge, ferocious beast, its body covered with massive bones.

"This should be a second-tier giant bone wolf. If we, father and son, work together, it won't be difficult to kill it, although it will take some effort."

The middle-aged greatsword warrior kept his eyes fixed on the second-tier giant bone wolf not far away, not daring to turn around and look at the boy's situation.

Although this was his first time encountering a second-tier giant bone wolf, he knew a thing or two about the habits of many animals. Ferocious beasts were similar; once he showed fear, that was the beginning of its attack.

At this moment, although the boy had given his wound a simple bandage, the middle-aged greatsword warrior still believed that it was necessary to buy the boy some time to make some adjustments.

After all, even if the two of them joined forces, facing a second-tier giant bone wolf would be a rather troublesome opponent.
