Qiduo, holding a wine glass, came to Fu Long and said, "To be honest, when I came to the Dark Continent, I did consider that this time the twelve-piece set would probably be heavily discounted, but luckily you're here."

Fu Long laughed as well. This was normal. If he hadn't gone with them, given their strength, losses would have been inevitable.

"Hey, Qiduo, you're being heartless. I helped too."

Jin came closer.

"Get out of here, what's it to you?" Qi Duo rolled her eyes at Jin and toasted with Fu Long.

Jin shrugged and sat down to one side.

After looking around, Jin walked towards Paliston, who was sitting in the distance.

"Why are you all here alone? Don't you want to ruin this wonderful success?" Jin said.

"Ah, I really want to, but after trying many methods, I found that they were all useless. Potobby can leave at any time, and it is hope that he can keep the hope in his hands. Beyond and the others are trapped in the Labyrinth Forest, and they have probably even fought with the Phantom Troupe. I can't do it right now."

Jin laughed heartily. Indeed, Paliston was someone who knew how to use his advantages, but first, you had to have an advantage.

Even if it's concentrated, and there's an advantage within a small area, that still needs to be there.

If there's nothing to say, what kind of situation is that?

So right now, he really doesn't have the means to target anyone he wants.

"It's rare to see someone like you have a day when you feel frustrated."

"It's nothing. If you want to do what you love, you have to think it through. Some things are bound to fail."

Jin nodded. Paliston had a really good mindset; he could maintain it at any time. Success was a must.

The banquet went very smoothly, and everyone finally rested late into the night.

Nothing happened that night.

Early the next morning, Potobal, the Drunkard, the Vixen, and the Little Beast were about to leave.

Fu Long did not go with them, because there was no need.

"Drunkard, even if you go back, tell Xiong that the supplies absolutely cannot be left unprovided."

"Don't worry, I will personally oversee this matter."

The drunkard patted his chest and said.

After the four people disappeared, Fu Long glanced at Paliston again and said, "I can only say that I won't see you off. The labyrinth forest is just ahead. If there's a chance, we might meet again in there."

“That’s going to be a bit difficult,” Paliston laughed, then walked forward.

Fu Long only put away the mountain temple after Paliston's figure disappeared.

"Aren't you going to come back?" Qi Duo asked curiously.

"Of course, we're just changing the location to carry out the operation; safety comes first."

Kido nodded in agreement. That made sense. Although Paliston hadn't targeted Hope, who knew if he might turn on Dragon and the others?

Fu Long didn't want to gamble on this; it was better to keep security in his own hands.

Soon, everyone left.

And sure enough, Paliston appeared there after they left.

"Oh dear, he really doesn't trust me. Fu Long is indeed very capable, he doesn't give me any chance at all."

Then Paliston shook his head again: "Well, at least we got something good. Now, the real fun begins."

Palston now held a map—a map of the labyrinthine forest.

With this map, finding other people becomes much easier.

Although we didn't get anything else, this map alone is enough.

Meanwhile, Fu Long had found a safe place. After setting up the mountain god temple, he specially disguised it to make sure there would be no surprises before the group left again.

The journey back will also take time. First, you have to cross the Deadwood Forest, then head to the Stone Tiger Land, then cross the vast underground insect territory, and finally return through the wasteland.

Having already traversed the route once before, everyone was well-prepared for this journey, and thus encountered no danger along the way.

After walking for ten days, the group finally saw Lake Möbius in the distance.

They've even spotted the Hunter Association's ship.

Ahead, one of Mo Laowu's purple smoke machine squads spotted the group and quickly left, heading towards the camp.

Mo Laowu in the camp has been on tenterhooks these past few days because he received a notification that V5's new ship has sailed to the Dark Continent, and it's even bringing several squads of heavy machine gunners with it.

That's V5's own armed force, and they're quite powerful. If these guys arrive before the Twelve Branches have returned, a conflict might break out here, which would be troublesome.

After all, they still had the Pay-to-Win Empire and some V5 officials tied up on their side, which were hot potatoes.

Now it's all right, the members of the twelve zodiac signs are back, although it seems like someone is missing.

It wasn't until they returned to the camp that Mo Laowu came out to greet them, and he felt even more relieved when he saw Qiduo.

"Hope has been obtained and taken back by Potobye. We can leave now. Let's organize our people and try to leave quietly, without getting involved with any forces along the way."

"Understood." Mo Laowu nodded; this was simple.

Everyone quickly cleaned up, trying to erase all traces of the camp.

Mo Laowu glanced at Fu Long and Jin, his meaning clearly indicating that they should board the ship first.

"We have other things to do, so we won't be going with you. Everyone, please be careful on the road."

"Don't worry, with Gu Gu's abilities, we'll be fine." Gu Gu had already released countless spirit birds, which would observe the entire sea surface and monitor a wide area, ensuring their actions wouldn't be affected.

Then everyone waved goodbye.

As the ship sailed further and further away, Fu Long looked at Jin and said, "We currently only have the qualification to enter the jungle beneath the World Tree, but we don't yet have the qualification to explore the World Tree itself."

"There will be, but what about Billy? When the time comes, can you take him into the World Tree?"

“We are one, so it’s possible.” Fu Long laughed, emanating the power of rules.

Billy's inescapable fate is the power of the world's rules. With that power, climbing the World Tree together shouldn't be a problem.

Jin nodded and said, "Since you have no problems, then I won't have any problems either. I'm determined to take on this final hurdle."

It was clear that Jin was determined. Fu Long looked into the distance, where he could vaguely see the World Tree, which was his ultimate goal. He hoped that this time things would go more smoothly.

"Let's go."

The figures disappeared and quickly returned to the mountain god temple.

Chapter 599 The Labyrinth Forest

World Tree Underground Jungle, Annex, Labyrinth Forest

When Fu Long and his two companions entered the forest, they also felt the suppression of the forest's rules.

The sense of direction was affected; the so-called positive direction was blocked by tall trees.

In this situation, it is easy for people to lose their way, and as they go deeper into the jungle, they can only see some dappled sunlight, as all the light is blocked.

"Try not to split up." Fu Long took out a map and studied it carefully. Even with a map, you can't just wander around randomly; it's easy to get lost, after all, this place is too big.

As Fu Long walked along a road, he soon smelled a bloody odor. Had someone been fighting there?

After exchanging a glance with Jin, the three of them walked in that direction.

The stench of blood grew stronger. When Fu Long arrived, he saw a corpse.

He recognized him; it was Nobunaga. He had actually died here. Fu Long raised an eyebrow.

You know, there aren't many guys who can defeat Nobunaga.

Moreover, judging from the corpse, it is estimated that it was Byrd who succeeded.

"Looks like these guys are really going at it."

"Yes, the fisherman reaps the benefits. Hisoka's move was really brilliant. Even if Chrollo and Vind knew they were trapped in a quagmire of mutual destruction, it was already too late."

Fu Long looked into the distance; the dangers in this jungle were no less than those outside.

Just as the three were about to leave, they heard a sound behind them and turned around.

But what they saw was Chrollo, accompanied by either Illumi or Kalmod.

Kuroro clearly saw Nobunaga's corpse as well, and then stared intently at Fu Long and the others.

"Kuroro, don't look at me like that, it makes me want to punch you. Nobunaga's death has nothing to do with us."

Fu Long is no longer afraid of Kuroro, and in this jungle, he has no allies and must be wary of anyone.

Because Kuroro and his trio are also enemies, they must be guarded against.

If a fight really breaks out, Fu Long isn't afraid. As long as Billian can hold his own against Kurt, that's fine. As for the other two, Fu Long believes that his side can definitely defeat them.

After all, gold is not to be trifled with.

Illumi glanced at Nobunaga's corpse and said, "It shouldn't have been them who did it. Judging from the condition of the corpse, it was Byand."

The murderous aura emanating from Kuroro dissipated somewhat.

Have any of you encountered Byand?

"We just got here, and even if we do run into each other, do you think you can find the place after I tell you the location?"

Fu Long responded bluntly.

Kuroro's eyes turned dangerous.

Fu Long also raised his mind, looked at Kuroro, and said, "Right now, I don't want to fight you, because it would be very troublesome, but that doesn't mean I will tolerate your rudeness."

Making their stance clear will be more conducive to negotiations; otherwise, Kuroro might use them as a tool to probe the waters.

Chrollo's Nen was also increasing, but he didn't make a move. Illumi and Kalmod behind Chrollo didn't move either.

It's clear they had no intention of getting involved.

After a short while, Kuroro relaxed, withdrew his Nen, and Fu Long also calmed down.

"Alright, it's true that making enemies of you now isn't a wise choice. But then again, when you came in, didn't you think about who you were going to help?"

"I won't help anyone. Also, don't mess with me."
