That despicable, scheming woman, she actually disguised herself as an elf lady!

The sky over the swamp forest was covered with dark clouds, and a light drizzle was falling.

Raindrops, like cotton threads, seeped through the canopy formed by the dense foliage, wetting the tree's exposed, tangled roots.

Half a day's journey from Camp Seven, in an open space about half the size of a basketball court, seven or eight adventurers stood back to back, drawing their weapons and preparing for battle.

All around, a group of deformed monsters with green skin, short stature, and unusually large heads surrounded the new adventurers.

One or two of the newcomers couldn't help but tremble as they were stared at by rows of bloodshot, scarlet eyes with predatory gazes.

"Gada—"

The leading goblin warrior had saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth like snake venom; below his flat nose were everted lips and yellowed teeth.

"Captain... Captain, what should we do?!"

One of the adventurers, clearly the leader, gritted his teeth and said, "Hold on! I've already crushed the magic artifact. Powerful adventurers nearby will be here to help soon!"

"Oh no, these monsters are attacking!"

"Help...help me!!"

…………

Tick-tock...tick-tock!

On a towering, upright iron tree sat a cloaked boy resting with his eyes closed.

The towering iron tree has a trunk that is over a hundred feet tall, with dense branches and leaves. Its canopy is large enough to block out the sun, like a world-shaking sword that has not yet been consecrated. In the next second, it can cut down all the injustices in the world!

Below the boy was the corpse of a Darkmoon Wolf, and next to it was a longsword broken in two.

The blade had already pierced through the Dark Moon Wolf's jet-black fur, and there was dried, purplish-black blood on the ground.

The other half of the broken sword hilt was casually thrown to the ground by its owner.

bass--

The black-haired boy suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils shining like lightning; if anyone were to meet his gaze, their eyes would likely be stung.

"Phew~"

Liu Huan sighed softly, "This beast is truly formidable. Even though its strength is a minor rank lower than mine, it can still fight me to a standstill!"

Yesterday, Liu Huan passed through Camp No. 4 but did not go inside or stay.

After traveling for half a day, they suddenly discovered the Dark Moon Wolf, a demonic creature whose strength had reached the second stage of Bone Forging, under an iron tree with a canopy that could reach the sky.

The Dark Moon Wolf is entirely jet black, with a deathly blue glow on its fur, resembling the ominous fire of Cerberus.

Its body was extremely large, standing seven feet tall and weighing half a ton. Its two eyes were like dark moons, filled with murderous intent and cunning.

Most importantly, two giant spiral horns will grow from the wolf's head of this beast.

The horn that bursts out of the skull is a symbol of the wolf king, and it can also emit the famous Dark Erosion Light.

The Dark Erosion Light was extremely destructive, its power even breaking through the beast's level limit and reaching the Great Perfection of the Bone Forging Realm.

Caught off guard, Liu Huan almost perished here.

"We still need to engage in more real combat!"

Liu Huan clenched his fist, and his Bone Forging Realm cultivation, which had been boosted by the Purple Spirit Fruit, became even more solid.

The original cultivation level of Liu Huan can be likened to loose tofu pudding. After this battle, it was as if the excess water was squeezed out under the compaction of a boulder, and the tofu pudding turned into solidified tofu.

Despite saying that, the sharp pain coming from below his left chest still made Liu Huan grimace in pain.

This was the Dark Moon Wolf's final, fierce attack before its death, its sharp claws piercing and churning inside its belly.

If Liu Huan hadn't endured the pain, grabbed the broken blade on the ground, stabbed it into the Dark Moon Wolf's soft belly, and then returned to the present world in time to find Selena to heal his wounds...

A normal adventurer would probably have perished here!

After carefully comprehending the battle, Liu Huan slowly peeled off the Dark Moon Wolf's pelt completely. The Dark Moon Wolf is one of the royal families of the wolf clan, and its pelt has always been highly priced.

A complete pelt of a Dark Moon Wolf at the Bone Forging Realm is probably worth fifty gold coins!

In addition, the two horns on the wolf's head also have a great use, as they can fetch a high price among magicians.

If you do the math, this Dark Moon Wolf can bring Liu Huan a profit of nearly a hundred gold coins!

Converted to RMB today, that's several million!

However, the price was high. If Liu Huan hadn't possessed a cheat-like ability and hadn't had Selena's healing power, he probably would have died from excessive bleeding and become fertilizer for the swamp forest.

As for ordinary adventurers, they will surely die upon seeing it!

After spending the better part of an hour squeezing every last drop of value out of the Darkmoon Wolves, and then returning these spoils to their rented apartment in the real world.

Liu Huan pulled the broken sword out of the ground again.

"Although the blade is broken, the hilt and the remaining fragments are sufficient for my use!"

Whether it was Liu Huan's imagination or not, he had recently been able to sense the emotions of the longsword, and when he followed those emotions and slashed with the sword, he would often unleash even greater power.

"Never mind all that, it's all sorted out, let's keep going!"

Liu Huan touched the scabbard at his waist, then vanished from his spot in a flash, heading towards Camp Seven at a steady pace.

"I've heard from the tribe's chief that some rare and exotic fruits in the swamp forest can help adventurers undergo their fourth bone forging."

"But this rare and precious fruit is extremely scarce; even the Grayfeather Tribe doesn't possess it!"

With a light push of his feet, Liu Huan flew swiftly to another tree trunk, as light as a feather.

This method of travel is common because the ground is no longer safe deep in the swamp forest.

Various predators disguise themselves, appearing calm on the surface, but revealing their fangs once they encounter prey.

"If possible, I would also like to undergo four rounds of bone forging. Besides, I've never heard of four rounds of bone forging outside the swamp forest. Could the difference in cultivation levels between the two places be so great?"

"Besides practicing the Star Core Breathing Technique, I can't slack off on swordsmanship either. It's my foundation. If I have a high level of skill but no dragon-slaying technique, I'm just easy prey walking alone in the deep mountains and forests!"

"Both must proceed simultaneously!"

Liu Huan briefly planned his future cultivation pace, then immediately buried himself in his journey.

As we passed through a large, dense forest, the leaves rustled in the distance, accompanied by the clanging of metal.

"Strange, is that a sound coming from over there?"

Liu Huan stopped in his tracks, narrowed his eyes, and became wary.

In the swamp forest, there are no laws or enforcement teams to restrain you.

Adventurers who are already walking a tightrope, living hand to mouth, will unleash the worst parts of their humanity, and killing, stealing, ambushing and injuring others are commonplace.

Therefore, Liu Huan had reason to suspect that this might also be a fishing trap!

But leaving someone to die was not the outcome this good young Chinese man wanted, so he quietly approached to inspect the scene.

In the distance, four or five new adventurers wielded longswords and short daggers, engaging in combat with a group of green-skinned monsters.

Liu Huan pondered, "How did these goblins end up here? And why are these new adventurers teamed up here?"

Doubts surged into my mind like waves of the tide.

Normally, organized groups of new adventurers shouldn't appear at Camp Seven; at most, they should appear individually or in small groups.

Because novice adventurers are weak, they can only mingle with experienced adventurer teams. Only at the edge of the swamp forest, or even at Camp One, will you find teams of pure novice adventurers!

As for goblins, they are a group of weak, social monsters that are mostly found in forest nests deep within Camp 4.

Adult goblins are close to the Blood Awakening Realm in strength, but they are not very strong. The Dark Moon Wolf last night could probably easily slaughter a large number of goblins.

Even so, they are not beings that these novice adventurers can afford to provoke!

This pair of sworn enemies seems really strange no matter how you look at it.

"Could it be that someone has organized Camp Seven to spontaneously launch a campaign to exterminate the surrounding monsters?"

Liu Huan had encountered this situation before when he was with a team of experienced adventurers at Camp 4, located north of Maple Leaf Town.

The professionals in the camp will team up with powerful adventurers to regularly clear out monsters around the camp, while new adventurers will be reorganized into smaller teams.

These newcomers are responsible for eliminating the weak monsters that were deliberately left behind by veteran adventurers.

It seems the experienced adventurers misjudged the strength of this goblin tribe; this rookie adventurer team is no match for them at all!

"ah!!"

In a short time, another member of the rookie adventurer party was stabbed in the chest by a goblin's wooden spear.

The man collapsed instantly into a pool of blood, barely breathing.

Seeing this, Luca, the squad's temporary leader, bit his lower lip hard to prevent panic from overwhelming him.

But my heart was filled with despair!
