The Infinite Mystery

Chapter 175 - Blackrock City

_Profound Star Continent_

A young man was walking slowly towards the bustling city in front of him. This city was protected by the huge walls that surrounded this city from all four directions.

This young man was Qin Feng.

Previously, after coming out from the world on the other side of the spatial crack, Qin Feng received the Xia Family's token from Xia Baiyue.

Returning back home, Qin Feng gave that token to his mother and told her the importance of this token.

Although Su Rou was surprised, she didn't ask anything. She took the token from Qin Feng. Qin Feng also gave one stone vat wine each to Jia Lan and his mother before bidding farewell.

Then he directly came to the Profound Star Continent.

Returning to this world, Qin Feng appeared a few kilometers away from the Thousand Peak Mountain. At first, Qin Feng wanted to go back to the Heavenly Star Sect directly, but after thinking for a while, he decided to go to the Blackrock City first.

Blackrock City was a very big city that was connected with the Southern and Western Region. Actually, this city was in the middle of the Eastern Region, Western Region, and Southern Region. Due to the unique terrain of this city, there were countless merchants, bounty hunters and mercenaries gathered in this place.

This city was also the largest market known throughout the three regions.

Qin Feng knew that if he went back to the Heaven Star Sect, he had to leave for the Celestial Star Sect that was located in the Central Region. Who knows when he'll get the chance to go to the Blackrock City if he went to the Central Region first.

So, he decided to first go to the Blackrock City and then go back to the Heavenly Star Sect.

It took him five days to reach Blackrock City. During this period of time, he had passed through many dangerous areas.

Several times, Qin Feng had almost suffered a lot due to his negligence of the danger on the way. Many of the places that seemed calm and pleasant were, in fact, those places were filled with many dangers lurking in the shadows.

Amongst them, he had even met many bandits that were blind and targeted Qin Feng, only to lose their lives.

.....

Qin Feng entered the city after paying the entry fees to the guards guarding the city gate.

Right now, he was walking on a wide street. On both sides of the wide street, there were all sorts of shops.

The loud and clear shouts filled the city with liveliness and liveliness.

Qin Feng knew nothing about this city so the first thing he did was to search for a restaurant to go to. A restaurant was a perfect place to hear much-heated news from the gossips of people.

But when he was on his way to the restaurant, he came across a tea stall. This tea stall was crowded with people and from the looks of it, this tea stall should be very famous in Blackrock City.

Seeing so many people here, Qin Feng canceled the plan to go to the restaurant, found a table placed in open, and sat down on one side of the table.

"Dear guest, what would you like to order?"

At a tea stand on the street, as soon as Qin Feng sat down, a young waiter walked over with a warm smile on his face.

Qin Feng asked for a pot of hot tea and a few pastries, then casually gave him a piece of Low-Grade Spirit Stone to the waiter, causing him to fill with joy.

"Thank you, Sir, thank you!"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Can I ask you something? What is happening over there?"

Asking this, Qin Feng pointed at the other side of the street where a shop was crowded with people and a huge commotion was stirred up.

The waiter hurriedly said, "Sir, They are planning to enter the Demonic Mountain Forest. That shop is selling the map of the Demonic Mountain Forest and since there is only a limited number of maps available, people are bidding for the maps. If you're also planning to enter the Demonic Mountain Forest, I suggest you find a team to accompany you. The recent Demonic Mountain Forest is not very peaceful."

Demonic Mountain Forest!

Qin Feng slightly frowned. He had heard of this Demonic Mountain Forest before. This was definitely one of the Forbidden Areas where countless powerful Demonic Beasts gather. Ordinary people would feel fear from hearing this Demonic Mountain Forest's name. Even some of the bounty hunters who licked their blades with blood didn't dare to casually go in and out of the Demonic Mountain Forest.

"Why isn't it peaceful anymore?" Qin Feng continued to ask.

The waiter glanced at the surrounding streets and said in a low voice, "Dear guest, I will not hide it from you that in the recent days, every night in the Demonic Mountain Forest, the howls of all the beasts have been loud enough to shake the sky and the moon. When it is deep into the night, even our Blackrock City can hear some howls of the beasts."

"Is there such a thing?" Qin Feng was even more surprised, "Why, What is the reason behind this situation?"

"Hehe, this guest has overestimated me." The waiter smiled embarrassedly and said, "How would I know what happened? However, I have actually heard that a thousand years ago, Demonic Mountain Forest was a demonic land, and in the depths of that Demonic Mountain Forest, there was a very powerful Demonic Beast. However, these were all rumors, and in fact, no one had personally seen them. However, it is true that the Demonic Mountain Forest is unstable currently. I can only advise this esteemed customer to be careful."

Qin Feng smiled, "Thank you for telling me. Go back to your work!"

"Alright. Customer, please wait a moment, I will go prepare some tea for you. If you have any other orders, just summon me!"

With that, the waiter happily carried the Low-Grade Spirit Stones Qin Feng gave him previously and went back to work.

Then, Qin Feng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

What was the situation with the Demonic Mountain Forest? Was the waiter speaking the truth or not?

Forget it!

Qin Feng shook his head. He will know when he finds out.

It was at this moment when he started listening to the conversation of people drinking tea.

"Well, have you heard? Yesterday, more than fifty people from 'One-hand Sword Gang' went in to check the Demonic Mountain Forest, and all of them were killed by the beasts there."

"F*ck, no way. The One-hand Sword Gang has quite a few experts at the Middle and Late Stage of the Profound Spirit Realm. How could they be killed just like that?"

"It is said that another gang known as Storm Gang found the skeletons of One-hand Sword Gang's group this morning. Aiyo, guess what happened, each and every one of them was eaten by Demonic Beast until only their bones were left. That kind of appearance, it's hard to forget how pitiful it was."

"Then, wouldn't Storm Gang immediately retreat out of fear?"

"Naturally, they have all run back in fear and I heard that there are already several Sect disciples that have come forward to investigate. It's said that some of the top geniuses of the widely known sects have also come. Looks like what happened in the Demonic Mountain Forest is definitely no ordinary matter."

While drinking the hot tea, Qin Feng listened attentively to the discussions of the busybodies nearby.

Actually, the information obtained from these martial arts people was the same as what the waiter told him and these pieces of information were quite credible.

Qin Feng's eyes narrowed as he started to ponder over this matter. He came to this city to look for something to increase his strength but who would have thought that he'll hear about the dangerous situation in the Demonic Mountain Forest.

If he wanted to go back to the Heavenly Star Sect, the shortest path would be through the Demonic Mountain Forest.

"I'm so tired, I want to sit down and rest for a while."

At this moment, a delicate figure suddenly sat down on the bench opposite Qin Feng.

This was a young girl around fourteen to fifteen years old with a loose ball of hair tied around her head. A few strands of hair hung down to her ears, paired with her snow-white skin, giving her the look of a messy beauty.

The young girl was holding a fruit in her hand. Her small mouth was puffed up as she happily ate the sweet taste.

She didn't intentionally sit in front of Qin Feng, she was just tired. She saw a spot on the roadside and sat down.

Her gaze was also not on Qin Feng.. She was busy eating the fruit.
