731 Rage And Racial Skill— Reaper's Wrath (Part 2)

The Dark Forest is divided into three parts: the Outer area, the Inner area, and the Central area. Covering an area of approximately three million miles, the territory of the Dark Forest is filled with rare treasures and resources. However, along with these treasures and resources, there are also many dangers inside it. The deeper you venture into the forest, the more dangerous it becomes.

The ruler of the Dark Forest is said to be a monster who is a World Realm expert. It is because of this monster that other forces of Utopia let the Dark Forest remain a neutral territory where anyone could enter. Otherwise, with the abundance of resources in the Dark Forest, many top forces would have already started a war to conquer it.

The hidden world of the Dryads is located in the central area of the Dark Forest. Due to the fear of being killed by the Ruler of the Dark Forest, most people do not dare to enter the Central Area of the forest. As a result, no one has been able to find their hidden world for the past thousands of years.

At this moment, in one of the caves located in the Outer Area of the Dark Forest, a white light flashed, and two handsome-looking elves appeared there. One was a brown-skinned elf with shoulder-length hair, covered in the aura of nature. On the other hand, the second one was a fair-skinned elf, emitting a demonic aura instead of the aura of nature.

"So, now we are in the outer area of the Dark Forest," Evan asked while looking around him.

Cedar, who had changed his appearance using an artefact, nodded his head and walked towards the exit of the cave.

Evan followed after Cedar, and soon both of them emerged from the cave. The outside of the cave was filled with the signature Towering Trees of the Dark Forest, which blocked all the sunlight. However, compared to the trees Evan had seen in the Central Area of the Dark Forest, these trees were still quite short.

After exiting the cave, Evan looked behind him and was surprised because the entrance of the cave from which he had just come out suddenly disappeared, and in its place appeared a mountain wall.

Cedar smiled when he saw Evan's surprised expression.

"This cave is surrounded by a special formation. You won't be able to enter it unless you are a Dryad, and even if you somehow enter it by chance, the teleportation formation inside the cave would self-destruct the moment of intrusion."

Evan nodded his head in understanding hearing Cedar and looked at him with a strange look on his face.

"Earlier, you said it is your first time coming to the outside world. Are you sure you know where the nearest city is located and we won't get lost in the Dark Forest?"

The building where Cedar brought Evan earlier was actually a teleportation building. Inside that building, Ashley had created many teleportation formations that were connected with the different parts of Utopia.

According to Cedar, it took Ashley nearly fifty years to complete that teleportation building and it is now connected with most of the parts of Utopia.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Sylvan used an experience crystal on me to share all of the things that I need to know," Cedar said in a confidence-filled voice upon hearing Evan.

Evan raised an eyebrow hearing Cedar and was curious about the Experience Crystal, but he didn't ask anything for now and just nodded his head.

"We will need to travel for a few hours to leave the Dark Forest. After leaving the Dark Forest, we will need to travel for around one day to reach the Star City which is our destination," Cedar said after recalling a few things.

Evan was not surprised when he heard it would take them nearly one day to reach the nearest city. Even though with their high speed they could cover a few hundred thousand kilometres of distance in one day, one has to know that Utopia can only be described in one word.

Vast!

Utopia is so vast that if someone tries to go from Elvenshine (The Empire of elves located in the Northern Territory of Utopia) to Gehenna Empire (The Empire of demons located in the Southern Territory of Utopia) without using a teleportation formation, it would take them a few months or even years, even if they are Rank Three Core Evolvers.

Once Cedar confirmed the direction of the exit of the Dark Forest, Evan and he quickly started to move.

Before using the teleportation formation to come here, Evan had asked Cedar if they would have to face monsters while leaving the forest, but Cedar told him that the formation would teleport them to the outermost region of the Dark Forest and this area is only filled with the monsters who are S rank or below. So even if they encounter any monster, it wouldn't be a problem for them.

Evan was disappointed when he heard this because he wanted to kill a few high-ranking monsters so that he could turn them into his Shadow Undeads.

Although he was disappointed, he didn't think too much about it and decided to go into the deeper area of the Dark Forest after coming back to create some stronger shadow undeads.

As they were moving towards the exit of the forest, Evan suddenly thought about something.

"By the way, is there no market inside the closed world where Dryads lives?"

Evan asked this question because he did not think that Cedar would bring him to the outside world.

Hearing Evan, a sad look crossed Cedar's face and he shook his head.

"The population of Dryads is barely a few thousand, and the closed world can't produce many resources that can be used for cultivation. There is a market there, but it is useless for the likes of us because we won't be able to find anything useful there."

Evan raised an eyebrow hearing Cedar and didn't know what to say so he chose to remain silent.

As far as he knew, most of the Dryads were killed in the war against the Elves a few thousand years ago, and not many survived.

'The World Tree of Drayds and the Tree Of Life of the Elves...' Evan said inwardly, remembering the reason behind the war.

From what he knows, the war happened because the elves wanted to snatch the World Tree from the Dryads, and many people guessed that it had something to do with their divine tree, the Tree of Life.

'I wonder if both of these trees are related to the Universal Tree...' Evan thought, feeling things were very complicated.

Cedar and Evan continued to move towards the exit of the Dark Forest, and just as Cedar said, the outer area of the Dark Forest was mostly devoid of monsters and they didn't encounter any danger.

Around three hours later, the signature towering trees of the Dark Forest started to disappear.

"We are about to exit the forest," Cedar said when he noticed the change in the environment around them.

Evan nodded his head hearing him, and at the same time, his spiritual senses spotted many people camping just outside of the forest.
