Chapter 235 More Dangerous Than Before

The soul beasts pounced towards Chen Bing fiercely. Chen Bing was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by them.

But at the moment, not only can his soul power no longer cause any harm to these soul beasts, he no longer has the physical strength to even struggle.

He could only look at the soul beast in despair, opening its huge mouth and biting towards him... The rest of the scene was too bloody to bear watching, and Chen Bing died in the mouth of the soul beast...

As for the last remaining one, Chen Ding, he was very lucky and met Chen Jia and his gang after running for a distance, and the five of them joined forces.

They actually managed to escape from the mouths of these soul beasts. At this time, the two Wen brothers and A Meng suddenly realized how dangerous it was when they came to the Sunset Forest alone last time to find a soul ring for A Meng.

This is the real Sunset Forest. The soul beasts inside are all very powerful. They can even team up to attack... and the illusion they encountered before was a scene they had never heard of before.

I can’t imagine what would have happened if they hadn’t been lucky last time and hadn’t encountered any soul beasts and escaped... otherwise, if it were the three of them, they would have encountered the situation they are in now.

There was no need to think about the ending. In just one round, the three of them would be killed by the beast... The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became.

Xiao Meng was so scared that her face turned pale. Several people looked at each other and made a secret decision in their hearts that they would never come to the Sunset Forest without the company of the elders in the future.

Unless their spirit rings reach four or above, they will never come alone to places that their elders have warned are dangerous, especially the Sunset Forest!

Chen Ding looked at Chen Jia with a relaxed expression, and said with relief, "I didn't expect that I would be so lucky to meet you."

"If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive today."

Chen Jia saw that Chen Ding caught up with them after a while, so he kept asking about what happened later. In fact, he had already anticipated and planned what happened.

But he was unwilling to give up without asking. In Chen Jia's mind, in the current situation, they not only had to face the threat from other forces, but also had to face the uncertain factors in the Sunset Forest.

It is not suitable for them to stay here any longer. According to his idea, everyone should gather and return immediately. Returning to the Chen family's old house is the best option.

But the Great Elder would definitely not allow it, because... Chen Jia accidentally overheard the conversation between the Great Elder and the Patriarch that day, and only then did Chen Jia know that - in fact, the Patriarch did not agree to come to the Sunset Forest for this mission.

"... Patriarch, let me tell you, our Chen family is just a small family now."

"Don't you envy those seven great sects? Don't you hope that our Chen family can develop into a powerful sect like that?"

"I proposed to lead these young people and several elders of the family to the Sunset Forest, all for the future development of our Chen family!"

The Great Elder's voice was filled with grief and helplessness, as if he didn't understand why he was so focused on the Chen family.

But the head of the family stopped him firmly, questioning and even opposing his decision. The steady voice of the head of the Chen family sounded slowly: "Grand Elder, how could I not want the Chen family to make further progress and reach a higher level?"

"But I always feel that there is something fishy about this news. After all, where did this news come from?"

"Why can a small family like ours, a family that is not even ranked among the famous ones, know this news?"

"If it is really as you said before, then this news should be blocked by the two empires and the Martial God Temple. How could it be leaked?"

Hearing the question from the head of the Chen family, the elder sighed helplessly: "You have always been like this, cautious, so the Chen family will not be able to achieve anything great under your leadership."

"As the saying goes, there is no wall that is impenetrable. Why should they be the only ones to know this news, and why would we be surprised if we knew it?"

"If you ask me, your thinking is rigid and your mind is not flexible at all. You don't have any courage at all and you don't even have the courage to take risks or fight hard."

"That's why they are so timid and afraid to move forward. It's because of you that the Chen family is unable to move forward."

As the chief elder, he kept questioning the patriarch, but considering that the other party had a higher fighting power, patriarch Chen endured it all.

Moreover, as the head of the family, he certainly hopes that his family will go further and further. How could he not be tempted by these resources and treasures?

However, as the head of the family, he would take into account many of the surrounding situations, so he was unwilling to agree to the great elder's proposal at this time.

Seeing that the Patriarch of the Chen Family still disagreed, the Great Elder relied on his own cultivation and began to say a lot of unreasonable words... Finally, the Patriarch of the Chen Family sighed helplessly.

"The Great Elder should know that no one hopes more than I do that the Chen family will develop better and better."

"If I said I wasn't moved by the treasures you mentioned, I would be lying."

"But I always feel that this time when we enter the sunset, the forest is really full of dangers."

"The forces we have to face are too many and too powerful... What if you get hurt?"

"That's the Sunset Forest, not some other place. Once you get hurt, it's extremely dangerous."

"And some of the news we have now is just hearsay, we don't really know it."

"The Chen family doesn't have the strength to send someone to the Sunset Forest to gather information..."

But before the Chen family patriarch could finish his words, the great elder beside him stood up excitedly: "Whether there is a way to get information or not, it doesn't matter."

"Just allow me to take everyone to the Sunset Forest, and don't worry about the rest."

At this point, the Great Elder showed a smug smile on his face: "Although the Chen family has no way to find out the situation of the Sunset Forest for the time being."

"But I have my own channels to get the news - the treasures that appeared in the Sunset Forest this time are very precious!"

"It is said that this soul beast has a very high level of cultivation. Not only is it about to transform into a human, but it also has an external soul bone attached to it."

"Once you obtain it, do you know how much your strength will increase? By then, even if we are under pressure, we cannot use this soul bone."

"Can you imagine how much our Chen family will get in return if we sell it?"

"And if all the major forces and families come to compete for this soul bone, then during the auction, we can not only gain wealth, but also easily make friends with these forces."

At this point, the elder's face showed an increasingly fanatical expression, as if they had already obtained this soul bone: "After all, our Chen family has the strength to easily capture this kind of soul beast!"

"So, Patriarch, you just need to send someone to go with me, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

Although the great elder in front of him said something high-sounding, his desire to take the spirit ring for himself was already written all over his face.

The head of the Chen family naturally knew what the eldest elder was up to, but he was also overwhelmed by the huge benefits in front of him, so those things didn't matter to him anymore.

The two of them began to discuss the situation in the Sunset Forest in detail, and their voices became lower and lower... Chen Jia did not hear what they said next.

In fact, Chen Jia believed that his patriarch’s previous considerations were not wrong, and they should not have gotten involved in this mess... The Great Elder was still too optimistic.

Who on earth are the Chen family? How dare they compete with those big forces for resources? This soul beast that is about to transform into a human is not something that a small family like them should fight for.

The Great Elder still felt that it was a joke for those forces to befriend their Chen family - not to mention whether the Chen family had a chance to contact the soul beast, let's take a step back and say that even if the Chen family defeated the soul beast.

But what would other forces think? Would they think that they couldn't even defeat a small family, and instead be dissatisfied and wary of the Chen family?

If they are dissatisfied with the Chen family, as long as they move their fingers slightly, the Chen family will be completely destroyed... Chen Jia frowned and thought of many consequences.

But Chen Jia knew that it would be useless for him to say anything more at the moment. After all, even the head of the family had begun to be tempted. What could he change?

If he really rushed out and expressed his thoughts, he would probably get a crazy response from the Great Elder, and the Patriarch might not be happy either...

That afternoon, the head of the family announced that several of the strongest people in the family would go to the Sunset Forest together. Of course, the reason they gave was not to compete with those big families for resources.

Instead, they asked them to bring three burdens with them, and the reason was to find a suitable spirit ring for A Meng... Chen Jia immediately raised objections, because he knew what their real intention was behind this reason.

The entire Chen family only has five powerful and slightly stronger soul masters. It was not easy for them to complete the plan they mentioned.

Now they brought three more burdens with them. Wasn't this a joke? Were they wholeheartedly fighting against the group of soul beasts, or were they protecting these three burdens?

These three people are the real pitfalls of this operation, especially that willful little girl Ah Meng... Chen Jia complained in his heart - they are not going there to gain experience, they are just there to be the vanguard and cannon fodder to feed the soul beasts...

It's a pity that the objection was ineffective. I don't know how they discussed it and what kind of requirements the elder put forward. In short, the condition of the head of the family should be to take the three young ones, especially his own daughter, to broaden their horizons.

Chen Jia felt that he did not know whether to laugh or cry, but since the two people in charge of the Chen family had already agreed, how could Chen Jia object to this ridiculous idea?

That's why the Great Elder brought all of Chen's family members to the Sunset Forest... Along the way, Chen Jia was extremely cautious, fearing that they would encounter some irresistible factors that would cause a crisis that they would not be able to resist.

Despite all their precautions, Chen Jia did not expect that they would encounter a tide of soul beasts.

What he didn't expect was that even though their lives were threatened, the Great Elder still didn't tell anyone to leave.

Instead, he asked them to continue to reunite, obviously he still wanted to fight for the secret treasure that was about to appear... Chen Jia sighed helplessly in his heart.

He still felt that if there really was a secret treasure, the two empires, the Spirit Hall and the seven major families would definitely not let go of such an opportunity. How could it possibly fall into the hands of their Chen family in the end?

Just thinking about it made him feel that this idea was ridiculous... So at this moment, Chen Jia had already thought about going back, but he didn't know what the other people were thinking.

And there are Chen Yi and Chen Bing, I wonder if they are doing well? Going back like this would always be irresponsible to others, so Chen Jia suppressed his thoughts.

They could only take a few people and follow the Great Elder's instructions to walk towards the location of the three big trees they encountered when they first entered the Sunset Forest. That was the place they had agreed on in advance.

If they encountered danger, they would flee separately, and after fleeing separately, the gathering place would be the three marked big trees... Just as the remaining people of the Chen family were heading towards the place they had agreed on previously.

Lu Yu, Luo Shen and Elder Sad have already walked towards the Sunset Forest, the border between the central area and the inner area. Elder Sad looked hesitant. After all, now that they have come here, if they want to continue to inquire about the situation in the entire Sunset Forest.

He was about to continue walking inside, but all these unusual things showed that the entire Sunset Forest was obviously more dangerous than before.

Moreover, these dangers could not be considered based on past experience at all... Several people felt that this trip to the Sunset Forest was too unusual compared to previous ones.

Therefore, the few of them were not in a hurry to continue their journey. They first found a relatively safe open space, sat down to rest and replenish their energy. However, their spiritual sense was always vigilantly alert to the surroundings.

The frantic escape just now made them all a little tired... Lu Yu took out all the remaining grilled fish from his space soul guide.

None of the three spoke, but seized the opportunity to struggle hard with the grilled fish in front of them. The most important thing for them now was to replenish their physical strength. Only when their physical strength was restored could their soul power be fully recovered.

Only then will they be able to face all the dangers that are about to come with greater confidence... Lu Yu is now very curious about Luo Shen's situation.
