Chapter 243 Discovery
"Abandoned Tower Forest?"

Ji Fuyou was taken aback, but quickly grasped the key information: "The fog in that area is denser than in other areas?"

"Correct."

Fang Qiyun nodded.

Upon hearing this, Yang Kaitai and the others seemed to realize something: "The abandoned tower forest we discovered while chasing an orc general... the fog is indeed thicker than in other places, but apart from that, it seems there's nothing different, right?"

"The dense fog is one of the special circumstances that the captain mentioned to us."

Fang Qiyun said.

"Let's go take a look!"

Ji Fuyou made a decisive decision.

"it is good."

Fang Qiyun, Yang Kaitai, and others naturally wouldn't refuse.

The group quickly set off, heading straight for the abandoned tower forest.

Because Tallinn is located in an area relatively close to Rainbow Sun City, things were fine for the first half of the day, but by the second half, the number of monsters had increased significantly.

Although these monsters could no longer pose a threat to Ji Fuyou and his group, whose strength had been comprehensively enhanced, they did slow down their advance considerably.

It wasn't until the next day that the group arrived at the outskirts of Tallinn.

However, after arriving at the outskirts of the Tower Forest, Ji Fuyou did not immediately enter the Tower Forest ruins. Instead, he let everyone rest to avoid getting into a tough battle if the Tower Forest ruins were dangerous.

After taking turns resting for nearly ten hours, everyone was refreshed and re-entered the Tallinn ruins.

Here stand stone towers of varying heights and sizes.

At first glance, the shadows are heavy, giving one a sense of foreboding.

"The fog density is indeed higher than usual. Although it's not much, and you can't even tell if you don't look closely, the fog density here is definitely much higher than outside."

Ji Fuyou concluded.

The others nodded, forming a defensive formation to protect Ji Fuyou in the very center.

Ji Fuyou wandered through the ruins of this tower forest.

While exploring Tallinn, he also accessed the Void Teleportation Authority, using its power to constantly sense the direction of spatial energy flow in this Tallinn ruins, which covered an area of ​​tens of square kilometers.

Ten minutes later, when he arrived at a towering forest of towers, he seemed to suddenly realize something.

The power of the void!

The power of the void clearly showed an unusual quality in front of this abandoned tower.

This unusual characteristic was remarkably similar to the one he had seen in front of that abandoned cabin in the Misty Forest.

"You all step back a bit."

Ji Fuyou quickly said something and activated the deflection field, then swiftly walked towards the large tower.

Apart from being somewhat dilapidated, the tower appeared normal.

But as he circled the tower, the strange feeling of spatial fluctuations became even stronger.

As he moved to a certain spot, the spatial power that the Void Authority could manipulate and the distortion effect that the abandoned tower had on the surrounding void collided violently...

The next moment, a thick fog, so dense that even the forest in broad daylight could not dispel it, suddenly surged out from the abandoned tower, instantly enveloping Ji Fuyou's body completely.

The rapidly spreading spatial ripples left Fang Qiyun and the others guarding the surrounding area with no time to react.

"team leader!"

Amid exclamations, the group rushed toward the abandoned tower.

but……

They did not possess the authority to teleport through the void, and were unable to resonate with the space connected to the back of the abandoned tower, so they could only watch helplessly as Ji Fuyou disappeared from their sight.

"Damn it!?"

"how so!"

"What exactly is going on?"

The group panicked.

Fortunately, Ji Fuyou's mental fluctuations soon came through the Heavenly Horn: "I'm fine, you all keep watch!"

Upon receiving this information, the people outside breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It's okay."

Sure enough, anything can happen in the fog.

Even a spiritual master like the company commander cannot completely avoid accidents and dangers.

This only deepened their awe of the fog.

……

On the other hand, Ji Fuyou's true situation was not as easy as it appeared when the message was sent.

The moment he was teleported in, he had already raised his guard to the limit.

Even so, a terrifying force carrying the lightning that illuminated the cave still slammed into his body.

Even though he had already unleashed his Overlord True Form and Deflection Field, he was still blasted away immediately.

The incredibly strong deflection field was directly shattered by this attack.

"This monster..."

Ji Fuyou's spirit was roused, and he quickly spotted the monster.

result……

look familiar!

This monster looked incredibly familiar to him!

"The Flourishing Cult Leader!?"

wrong!

It should be a being of the Fertile Clan, and even a being of a higher level than the Fertile Cult Leader.

Although this monster looked extremely similar to the Fonwo leader, with dark green skin all over its body and also wielding the power of thunder, it was much larger than the Fonwo leader.

Its height, even if it is less than four meters, is still three and a half meters.

He was bathed in lightning, and the oppressive aura emanating from him was far superior to that of the Flourishing Cult Leader.

"Strengthen the Fertile Lord?"

The key is……

This is a cave.

There is an underground cave with an underground river, but the usable space is no more than 100 meters deep.

The cave, nearly a hundred meters long and wide, and almost thirty meters high, sounds enormous, but for Ji Fuyou, whose burst speed can reach sixty meters per second, this short distance is practically the same as being face-to-face. Moreover, considering the speed of this enhanced Fertile Lord…

Faster than him!

There's no way to fight.

Unless he can advance to the Martial Saint level...

Do not!
Even if he were to advance to the Martial Saint realm, he might not be able to defeat this enhanced Fertile Lord in a one-on-one fight!

Unless he can bring a team of martial arts masters!
Just like the two-headed giant, this is definitely not a monster he can challenge in his current state.

Even if this underground cavern were the same size as the Abyss Rift, he would still find it difficult to poison the Enhanced Fertile Lord as he had poisoned the Two-Headed Giant.

Because it's too fast.

One of the two-headed giants is strength-based, and the other is speed-based. There is no basis for them to poison you to death with their venom and teleportation abilities.

Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly activated the Void Teleportation Authority and disappeared into the narrow cave that resembled an underground prison.

……

"call out!"

Ji Fuyou's figure appeared outside the abandoned tower in an instant.

The moment he appeared, Fang Qiyun and the others who were on guard nearby surrounded him.

"team leader?"

"Captain, are you okay?"

"fine."

Ji Fuyou waved his hand.

In fact, from the moment he disappeared to the moment he realized that the enhanced Fertile Master was no match for him, it took him less than 10 seconds to retreat.

Fang Qiyun and the others hadn't even had time to fully develop their concerns.

"Let's talk about this after we leave here."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"it is good."

The group agreed and quickly left with Ji Fuyou.

However, not long after leaving the ruins of Tallinn, Xiao Hanxue couldn't help but mutter, "Have you noticed that the sunlight illuminating the forest... has dimmed a little?"

"Light?"

Ji Fuyou, Yang Kaitai, and others observed carefully.

result……

"It has indeed become a bit darker."

Yang Kaitai nodded: "It's just that the change isn't significant, so it's not noticeable unless you look closely."

"Does the Daylight Forest also have night and day? We've entered it twice and stayed for more than half a month, why haven't we encountered it?"

Liu Yiren guessed.

"Perhaps their days and nights are longer? Maybe once every two weeks, or even once a month?"

Xiao Hanxue said.

Ji Fuyou looked at the burst of sunlight and quickly realized something.

darken!?
When did it get dark?

seem……

It started when he entered that tall tower in the Tallinn ruins?

At that moment, his void authority collided violently with the spatial power surrounding the tower, creating spatial ripples that swept him into that underground cavern...

Could it be that this spatial power has affected the stability of the large array that gathers the light of day in the forest of daylight?
After pondering for a moment, Ji Fuyou ultimately said nothing.

Whether it is true or not, the event has already happened.

"From what I can see now, the enhanced Fengwo Sect Master is too strong. Even though he belongs to the speed-type alien race, his attack power suppresses my defense after cultivating the deflection force field. I estimate that unless my defense reaches 100, I won't be able to withstand this monster's attack."

As for dodging attacks?
The enhanced Fertile Lord is an agile, speed-type monster.

Let alone dodging the enhanced Fertile Lord's attacks, even if his defense were to reach 100 and he had room to counterattack, it would still be very questionable whether the Cold Moon Sword could hit this monster.

Of all his attack methods, only the Wuji Sword is effective and can keep up with the monster's speed.

However, even the Fonwo Cult Master has a defensive force field, let alone this enhanced Fonwo Cult Master.

Even the Wuji Sword might not be able to cause him much damage.

Given the monster's astonishing life regeneration, he might exhaust himself to the point of mental depletion before he even manages to kill the enhanced Fertile Lord.

The gap is too big.

"Building up to 100 or more points of defense, and then poisoning it, is the only way to kill this monster."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he said with some emotion, "Fortunately, the battlefield was in an underground cave that was only about 100 meters deep. If it had been in a more spacious place, even if a whole team of Martial Saints had joined forces, this monster could have left with ease. If he had made good use of his speed advantage to defeat them one by one, wiping out a team of Martial Saints would have been just a matter of time."

As he pondered, he thought about his current situation...

Thanks to the increase in his physical and mental stats, his maximum defense can reach 80 points.

If we sacrifice other aspects to make up for it, we might be able to reach 85 points.

In the future, once he becomes a Martial Saint, he might very well give it a try.

"Even if one cultivates to the level of a Martial Saint, one can only rely on venom to kill this monster when alone. Therefore... what I need to find next is not only the Snowman of the Snow Region, but also the mutated giant centipede."

As Ji Fuyou pondered, considering that the other rewards from the Daytime Forest were too low and the Snowmen from the Snowfield were really hard to find, he turned to the others and said, "Next, let's go to the Death Rift Valley and find some mutated giant centipedes to obtain some venom."

The others didn't object to it.

Compared to the Day Forest, the Death Rift Valley offers significantly higher rewards.

"Shall we set off back now?"

Xiao Hanxue asked a question.

"Well, go back."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

"It's a pity that we haven't found a single snowman in over half a month."

Fang Qiyun felt somewhat regretful.

"It seems there are very few snowmen in the snowy region. Finding one depends a lot of luck, and it might be difficult..."

Ji Fuyou replied with a smile.

But before he could finish speaking, he seemed to sense something and his eyes immediately looked into the depths of the mist.
