This person was none other than Lin Yaoxie.

"How did I take the wrong turn again?"

However, when Lin Yaoxie entered this blood-red land, he was completely dumbfounded when he saw Zhao Jiuge and the Demon Rat King turn their gazes towards him at the same time.

Lin Yaoxie wasn't a fool, because he knew just how unexpected his encounter with Zhao Jiuge and the Demon Rat King had been. He had initially followed the direction Zhao Jiuge had told him, but as he walked along...

Lin Yaoxie came across a small river. When he saw that the only path leading to the east was on the bank of the river, he did not choose to cross it. Instead, he walked directly into the narrow path that looked like a log bridge. After walking in, Lin Yaoxie found that the path he was on seemed to have changed.

After realizing that his direction of travel had deviated from the previous recording, Lin Yaoxie cleverly and decisively returned to where he had come from. However, as Lin Yaoxie returned to his previous location, something unexpected happened that he did not notice.

The small river he had crossed earlier, and the marks he had made along the way, had not appeared. He simply followed a gust of wind to the place where Zhao Jiuge and the Demon Rat King were.

Chapter 221 How Did the Misunderstanding Work?

After witnessing the destructive power you displayed and instantly killing that monster, Lin Yaoxie knew that Zhao Jiuge's strength was at a level that he could not compare to at present.

Most importantly, this Demon Rat King actually had the strength to fight Zhao Jiuge, which shows that the Demon Rat King's strength was not in the same league. Moreover, Lin Yaoxie was not a fool; he was very smart and knew that Zhao Jiuge and the Demon Rat King were roughly equal in strength.

That means they are all top-tier experts. The monster that had been chasing Lin Yaoxie couldn't even last a single round against Zhao Jiuge. Lin Yaoxie knew that if the Demon Rat King appeared here and wanted to kill him, it would probably be even faster than Zhao Jiuge killing those 190 monsters.

There was nothing that could be done; Lin Yaoxie could only follow his heart.

"You guys are busy, I'm just passing by."

To be honest, Zhao Jiuge was slightly surprised when he saw Lin Yaoxie appear, because he had already pointed out the direction to Lin Yaoxie. He only needed to cross the small river and go about 10 kilometers to reach the human town, but now Lin Yaoxie...

They had accidentally wandered into this place. To be honest, at that moment, Zhao Jiuge had a very direct feeling: was Lin Yaoxie possibly following him?

But when Zhao Jiuge saw the expression on Lin Yaoxie's face, which showed no sign of treachery or cunning, he realized that he might be judging a gentleman by his own petty standards.

But sometimes, even if you look at something very seriously, what happens afterward can be shocking. No one knows what their future holds; they can only try their best to do everything well through their own choices.

Lin Yaoxie's current situation is quite strange. He doesn't know what to do next, but after encountering Zhao Jiuge and the Demon Rat King, Lin Yaoxie's idea is very simple: to get away from them.

"I didn't expect you to be so cunning, Zhao Jiuge. Your strength was already greater than mine, and now you've even called for help. This is quite unexpected. But don't think that just because you've called for help, the two of you can keep me here forever. Now I'll show you my true, complete power."

After Lin Yaoxie misunderstood his identity upon seeing the Demon Rat King, he hurriedly tried to explain. However, it was clear that monsters like the Demon Rat King, who, while possessing some intelligence, were not particularly wise, simply wouldn't listen to his words. In their eyes, neither Lin Yaoxie nor Zhao Jiuge mattered.

All of their actions were part of a conspiracy. Before the battle between him and Zhao Jiuge reached its climax, their fighting prowess had reached the point of a life-or-death struggle. However, just as the battle was about to reach its peak, Lin Yaoxie, this uninvited guest, barged in, infuriating the Demon Rat King, who felt he had been deceived by Zhao Jiuge.

He already knew that Zhao Jiuge was very likely to deceive him like the other humans, but he didn't expect that Zhao Jiuge would not only deceive him.

Chapter 222 Just Passing By

Now they've even joined forces with others to try and kill him, leaving him with no choice but to exert his maximum strength in this situation.

In other words, he revealed all his trump cards. After seeing what Zhao Jiuge said and seeing the aura Zhao Jiuge exuded, the Demon Rat King had no other choice.

"I didn't expect that he would actually master this form. It seems that dealing with the fully-formed Demon Rat King will be quite troublesome."

Zhao Jiuge seemed to know the Demon Rat King very well. After observing the Demon Rat King's transformation, he did not attack it, because he knew that before the Demon Rat King underwent such a transformation, it had already set up an attack zone around it.

Although something that has completely failed won't last long, the duration of that failure is enough for the Rat King to improve from that initial state.

After about seven or eight seconds, the Demon Rat King's body had become quite large. The changes in the Demon Rat King were very obvious. Lin Yaoxie could even see that its muscles had become swollen, making it look completely unlike a human.

Of course, the Rat King is not human after all, and judging from the way it walked upright, it is just a half-orc.

To be honest, although Lin Yaoxie had stumbled into this place unintentionally, watching these two big shots clashing and ready to fight at the drop of a hat was quite amusing. Lin Yaoxie was, after all, someone who loved to join in the fun.

If before he wanted to join in the fun because he wasn't strong enough, then now, having encountered Zhao Jiuge and the Demon Rat King, Lin Yaoxie can't leave immediately. Besides, since he's already here, Lin Yaoxie doesn't want to waste time, because he is indeed lost.

So he hopes that Zhao Jiuge can be his guide and help him escape from this dangerous and terrifying forest.

Moreover, he had no doubts what Zhao Jiuge had said before, because he knew that if Zhao Jiuge were to deceive him, there would be no need for him to do so.

0oo is asking for flowers.....

To be honest, Lin Yaoxie was very puzzled after sensing the changes in the Demon Rat King's body. He thought Zhao Jiuge would unleash his powerful strength without hesitation and then attack the Demon Rat King with him. However, he later realized that this seemed impossible.

... 0

Because Zhao Jiuge didn't even make a move when the Demon Rat King was changing his voice, Lin Yaoxie was also thinking that the Demon Rat King's strength would definitely improve after he transformed, which is a well-known fact. Just as Lin Yaoxie was preparing to take the initiative to attack the Demon Rat King who was caught in the transformation, he found that the Demon Rat King had already completed his transformation.

Looking at the Demon Rat King's entire body, various patterns were constantly twisting and turning, rising and falling, and following the Demon Rat King's movements, as if they had come to life. Lin Yaoxie even saw that these things on the Demon Rat King's body were like tattoos, constantly moving with his movements.

Chapter 223 Innate Realm

Just as Lin Yaoxie wanted to see how Zhao Jiuge and the Demon Rat King's upcoming battle would turn out, he saw Zhao Jiuge at this moment.

Seemingly sensing some danger, he stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Yaoxie. When he stood in front of Lin Yaoxie, Lin Yaoxie initially thought Zhao Jiuge would attack him, but he didn't expect that he did this to protect her.

"193" "Young man, you should leave here now. After the Demon Rat King undergoes another transformation, his strength will become extremely terrifying. With your current innate realm, it will be very difficult for him to mature at this time."

Looking at Zhao Jiuge's back, Lin Yaoxie originally thought that Zhao Jiuge would attack him. Although they were both human, they had no connection with each other. In addition, Lin Yaoxie had been listening to Zhao Jiuge's words and was heading in that direction, but now...

If anyone were to think that Lin Yaoxie had some other bad intentions after suddenly wandering into this place, Zhao Jiuge would not have such thoughts.

To be honest, I don't know if it was Zhao Jiuge who thought he was extremely powerful and wasn't afraid of Lin Yaoxie's schemes, or if he simply believed Lin Yaoxie was just a simpleton.

They won't attack him because they are all human.

Lin Yaoxie hid to the side, watching Zhao Jiuge display his extraordinary strength. The combat power of the weapon he held was truly astonishing. As for the Demon Rat King, although he was a monster, he had now completed his demonic transformation.

The evil aura emanating from the man was somewhat frightening and unsettling, but when Lin Yaoxie looked at the power emanating from the Demon Rat King, he felt that it was quite strong.

However, perhaps because the monster wasn't specifically targeting Lin Yaoxie, Lin Yaoxie, watching the show from the sidelines, could be considered a completely indifferent bystander.

"Everything in this world is constantly changing, and no one knows what their future will hold. Even if I had a cheat system or a special advantage, I couldn't guarantee I'd survive in this dangerous place."

"It seems that strength is the foundation. Without great strength, no matter where I am or what troubles I encounter, if I don't have the power to unleash my strength to deal with these invincible monsters, I don't even know what I will become in the future."

Seeing the powerful combat strength displayed by the Demon Rat King, and how it actually withstood Zhao Jiuge's attack in that instant, Lin Yaoxie was honestly shocked. After witnessing Zhao Jiuge's powerful combat strength before, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Even if Zhao Jiuge were ranked 5.5 among humans, he would still be considered an extremely abnormal individual. Moreover, his otherworldly temperament was unmatched by any other powerful individual.

However, looking at the Demon Rat King, not only did it withstand Zhao Jiuge's attack, but when Zhao Jiuge swung the long sword in his hand fiercely forward, the terrifying sword energy was truly astounding.

Chapter 224 We Cannot Be Slack

It kept rippling out one after another.

It's like ripples on a calm surface of water.

Lin Yaoxie knew exactly how astonishing the combat power and strength of these waves were, because the monster that had been chasing him couldn't even withstand a single sword aura from Zhao Jiuge. However, when Lin Yaoxie thought that the sword aura that Zhao Jiuge relied on could kill the Demon Rat King in front of him...

To Lin Yaoxie's surprise, Zhao Jiuge's dozen or so sword energies only briefly approached a black, gas-like object in front of the Demon Rat King before disappearing.

"My God, the destructive power that Zhao Jiuge 04 showed before was already quite amazing, but now this Demon Rat King hasn't even used his physical body to withstand Zhao Jiuge's attack. He has only formed a strange thing in front of me."

"They actually managed to block all of Zhao Jiuge's attacks! My god, what level of monsters are these two in this world? Could this terrifying..."

Is the terrifying forest really as exaggerated as Zhao Jiuge described?

Previously, when Lin Yaoxie was wandering around this terrifying forest, he had no idea how dangerous this place really was. But after experiencing all sorts of things, including the monster that Zhao Jiuge had killed, and now, if Lin Yaoxie wasn't shocked...

That was absolutely impossible, because the situation before him had already greatly shocked him, especially the Demon Rat King in front of him, which was clearly a powerful monster in this terrifying forest.

At this moment, Zhao Jiuge was extremely agile, because he knew that now that the Demon Rat King had fully planned his strategy, his combat power was definitely much stronger than before, and it would increase exponentially. So when he tentatively released his sword energy and approached the Demon Rat King, Zhao Jiuge was already prepared to be defeated by the Demon Rat King.

"I didn't expect your current demonized state to be even more powerful than before. This is far beyond my expectations. But don't think that you can completely defeat me in this way, because in this world, you are not the only one who can improve. I am also improving."

The Rat King licked his densely packed teeth, which would probably scare anyone who saw them. Seeing that Zhao Jiuge seemed completely unconcerned about the sword energy he had just released, the Rat King couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He reigned supreme in the terrifying forest not because of his own identity, but because of his unparalleled strength. When Zhao Jiuge and he fought on that terrifying cliff, it was all for the sake of obtaining a string of Buddhist beads, but at that time...

The Demon Rat King had just conquered a territory and fought another powerful demon king, so his strength was not at its peak. When he encountered Zhao Jiuge back then, he fought with Zhao Jiuge and was even defeated by Zhao Jiuge, but now it's different.

The relationship between humans and monsters is inherently one of mortal enmity, so what should be done?

Chapter 225 Mutual Destruction

"Your heart has already left your body. Do you really think that the string of prayer beads you had before will keep you alive in this world? If I'm not mistaken, your lifespan is actually coming to an end."

After hearing the Demon Rat King's arrogant laughter and the revelation of the truth, Zhao Jiuge frowned deeply. Then, a sword aura enveloped him, making him look like a hermit master, and a cloud lifted him up.

As Zhao Jiuge began to rage and slowly ascended into the sky surrounded by a strange gas, the Demon Rat King snorted coldly. Without saying another word, he condensed a powerful ball of red gas in his right hand and then fiercely slammed it towards Zhao Jiuge.

Lin Yaoxie was still shocked by Zhao Jiuge's situation, where his heart was controlled by the Demon Rat King. He didn't know how Zhao Jiuge, a human, could survive without a heart. But after seeing the Demon Rat King's arrogant words just now...

Lin Yaoxie then discovered that Zhao Jiuge was able to survive even without a heart entirely because of the string of Buddhist beads he had snatched from the Demon Rat King during their previous battle.

"What exactly is it that can help Zhao Jiuge, a human, continue to live in this world, and even survive without a heart? This is beyond my expectations. It seems that there are still many things in this terrifying forest that I have not anticipated."

Originally, Lin Yaoxie had planned to leave this dangerous and terrifying forest according to the direction and route provided by Zhao Jiuge. However, he did not expect to be so stupid. After taking several detours, he returned to the forest. Now, after returning to the forest...

Lin Yaoxie observed Zhao Jiuge's fighting prowess, and after hearing about the stories of their previous battles, including the events that had transpired, he understood the significance of the situation.

Lin Yaoxie discovered that there were some things in this world that far exceeded his imagination, and that he could not possibly understand them simply by relying on strength.

"Since you say my days are numbered, I don't want to waste any more time. I'll show you just how powerful the fully activated prayer beads can be. If I die here, I'll kill you too. You can't possibly survive. Let's just die together."

Lin Yaoxie and Zhao Jiuge had met before, and Lin Yaoxie knew that Zhao Jiuge was as aloof as an iceberg. But now, as the terrifying sword energy continued to rise, Zhao Jiuge's aura also increased.

As for Zhao Jiuge, his aura was already soaring, and Lin Yaoxie could even see Zhao Jiuge clearly, his long hair was constantly moving back and forth with these floating auras.

He looked very dashing, but after hearing what Zhao Jiuge had just said, Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but shudder, feeling extremely terrified.

The Demon Rat King was looking at Zhao Jiuge, and had actually unleashed the full power of the Buddhist beads.

Chapter 226 Death and Soul Destruction

He was filled with hatred and gritted his teeth. He knew that Zhao Jiuge was extremely powerful and that the various methods he displayed were not like the impetuous young man he had been back then.

Most importantly, seeing the terrifying golden light constantly shining around Zhao Jiuge, and the light generated by the terrifying Buddhist beads constantly moving back and forth within his body, the Demon Rat King was extremely angry, but also somewhat fearful.

"You despicable bastard, you have absorbed all the energy of the prayer beads, which means you can no longer live in this world. Yet you actually want to defeat me in this way. Do you really think you can do it? Since you want to die together with me, then let me see just how much of this power you can unleash!"

After saying that, the Demon Rat King knew he couldn't waste any more time. He then focused all his energy on closing in on Zhao Jiuge, with terrifying black and red gas constantly swirling around him. Zhao Jiuge watched the Demon Rat King.

As it approached, the skin on Zhao Jiuge's body began to crumble and collapse. Lin Yaoxie, standing on the tree, stared wide-eyed and gaped as he watched Zhao Jiuge's skin disintegrate. He even put his hand in front of his mouth in disbelief.

Lin Yaoxie never expected the situation to become so exaggerated. The power on the Demon Rat King was already strong enough, definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. However, despite this, Zhao Jiuge did not hesitate at all, even though Zhao Jiuge and the Demon Rat King had fought before.

Zhao Jiuge still held a certain advantage in the battle against the Demon Rat King. However, from what the Demon Rat King said, Lin Yaoxie realized that Zhao Jiuge had only launched the challenge when the Demon Rat King was in a seriously injured state.

But now, looking at Zhao Jiuge's body, those powerful forces are constantly releasing terrifying power, constantly erupting within his body. Moreover, that energy doesn't truly belong entirely to Zhao Jiuge; rather, it's constantly surging out from within him, as if...

It's as if Zhao Jiuge's body is unable to withstand these powerful forces and is constantly trying to burst out. To put it simply, Zhao Jiuge's body is like a container holding the Buddhist beads that the Demon Rat King mentioned earlier.

However, after the Demon Rat King went into its demonic state, Zhao Jiuge was not strong enough to defeat it. Therefore, he had no choice but to release the Buddhist beads from his body. Moreover, based on what the two of them had said earlier, Lin Yaoxie discovered...

Even if Zhao Jiuge doesn't release the energy of the Buddhist beads to attack the Demon Rat King, he won't live much longer anyway. Sooner or later, he will collapse because he can't withstand such powerful energy.

A terrifying golden light descended from the sky, just like the sun's rays suddenly falling on the ground. Zhao Jiuge's entire body had already dissipated into the air with the wind. After Zhao Jiuge died...
