The Infinite Mystery

Chapter 176 - Demonic Mountain Forest

The little girl who was eating fruit while sitting opposite to Qin Feng suddenly frowned. Then she took out a thin piece of rectangular paper from her embrace and injected the spirit energy in it.

That rectangular piece of paper shone with bright golden light. Then a voice sounded out from that piece of paper: "Little Xing, where are you? Quickly come here."

"Senior Sister, have you found the traces of that old man?" Asked the little girl.

"Not now, but we'll soon find out. You come here." Said the person on the other side.

"Ok, I'm coming." That little girl nodded her head and replied before standing up and leaving.

Qin Feng who was sitting the opposite of the little girl watched the entire scene unfolding in front of him. That little girl was kind of cute in Qin Feng's eyes.

After drinking the tea, Qin Feng paid the bill and left the tea stall.

"Looks like, coming to the Blackrock City was a wrong decision." Qin Feng muttered and decided to leave the Blackrock City. The disturbance in the Demonic Mountain Forest was huge this time and it could also affect the Blackrock at any time.

Qin Feng didn't want to encounter any kind of trouble at the moment so he immediately started walking in the direction of the Demonic Mountain Forest.

No matter how dangerous it was inside the Demonic Mountain Forest, it was still the shortest root to the Heavenly Star Sect. Because of this, Qin Feng decided to take the risk.

As Qin Feng was walking, an old beggar with a messy body suddenly hugged Qin Feng's calf and cried out loud, "Help me, I haven't eaten for a few days. Give me some money and I'll buy two steamed buns."

Qin Feng frowned then he shook his head helplessly. After that, he took out ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones and handed them over to the other party.

"Take it!"

"Huh?"

The old beggar was startled, he did not think that it would be so easy to get the spirit stones from Qin Feng. His eyes lit up and immediately snatched the Spirit Stones from Qin Feng's hand.

"Thank you Young Master, thank you Young Master." That old beggar thanked Qin Feng repeatedly two times.

Qin Feng smiled but didn't bother to care too much about it. He followed in the direction of outside the city.

Roughly an hour later, Qin Feng had left the city and arrived at the area outside of Demonic Mountain Forest.

The Demonic Mountain Forest was filled with dense tall and small green trees. In the distance, gigantic mountain peaks towered into the sky. From time to time, the roars of Demonic Beasts could be heard, causing people to stop in their tracks.

There were many caravans on the road from Blackrock City to the Demonic Mountain Forest.

But right now, everyone was afraid and didn't dare to set off.

"This little brother must be heading to Demonic Mountain Forest?"

Just as Qin Feng slightly probed the terrain and was preparing to head to the Heavenly Star Sect alone by passing this Demonic Mountain Forest, an old man in his fifties suddenly walked up to him and asked.

Qin Feng nodded his head and replied lightly, "Sir, do you need something?"

"It's like this, this old one just so happens to be in charge of a caravan. If you are willing, you can come with us. I think you should be a martial warrior as well. If you are able to contribute during the journey, we will also reward you accordingly. I wonder what little brother thinks?"

The old man's meaning was very simple. It sounded like he was hiring Qin Feng. However, in terms of remuneration, he was vague. He was obviously a shrewd veteran in the business world.

Qin Feng smiled but agreed straightforwardly.

It didn't matter whether the reward was good or not. After all, this was Qin Feng's first time passing through the Demonic Mountain Forest. It was also fine for him to be able to travel with some experienced people.

"Hehe, little brother, this way, please. You can call me Old Man Mu." The old man led Qin Feng to the front of a horse-drawn carriage and introduced himself.

There were four carriages in the entire caravan, three carriages carrying goods and one passenger.

Other than the original dozen or so people in the caravan, there were also less than twenty martial warriors. These martial warriors were dressed in uniform. One of them was a ferocious man with a picture of a Blood Wolf Head on his arm. He looked at Qin Feng who just entered the carriage with disdain.

"Hey, Old Man Mu, are you looking down on us, Blood Wolf Group? Since you've hired us, what do you mean by looking for a delicate little kid?" Asked the man who has the ferocious expression on his face and had the picture of Blood Wold Head on his arm.

"Hehe, Blood Wolf gang's leader is overthinking it. This little brother is just following us along the way. I have no other intentions." Old Man Mu waved his hand and chuckled dryly.

"Humph!"

The Blood Wolf Gang's leader laughed coldly and said, "My Blood Wolf Group has accepted the mission based on the number of people we have. Now that you have added another brat, you must give us some more money."

"This?" Old Man Mu frowned slightly when he heard this. He glanced at the calm Qin Feng beside him from the corner of his eyes. Immediately, he clapped his hands gently and said, "Alright."

In fact, Old Man Mu was a shrewd person. After being in the business for so many years, he had a pair of eyes that could read countless people.

Qin Feng had previously planned to go through the Demonic Mountain Forest by himself and the Demonic Mountain Forest was not very peaceful recently. However, this young man seemed so calm without any fear.

This was enough to show that Qin Feng was not an ordinary person.

Old Man Mu was certain that Qin Feng's strength was definitely not inferior to the Blood Wolf Gang's leader that had the cultivation base of the Late Stage Golden Core Realm. Pulling Qin Feng into the carriage without giving him a proper reward was definitely a profit.

"Hur hur, it's getting late. Let's go!" Old Man Mu waved his hand and then got into the carriage.

"Let's go!"

The Blood Wolf Gang's leader stepped onto a long, reddish-brown mane colt, raised his arm, and shouted loudly.

In the whole group, only a few people had mounted, while the rest had to walk on foot.

The caravan of dozens of people left. Qin Feng followed the caravan as if nothing had happened.

Along the way, from the deep Demonic Mountain Forest came the unceasing sound of the Fierce Beast's roars. The air in the deep dark forest was filled with a faint pungent smell of fresh blood.

With a wave of the broadsword in the hands of the Blood Wolf Gang's leader, blood splattered everywhere. A Demonic Beast in the shape of a black panther was decapitated, and its huge head was sent flying.

"Damn it! It hasn't even been half a day and we've already encountered so many beasts!"

After cursing out loud, the Blood Wolf Gang's leader looked at the team members who had just finished fighting. There were corpses of beasts everywhere on the ground. They had never encountered such a situation before.

This Demonic Mountain Forest was indeed not as peaceful as it used to be.

Qin Feng, who was following the group, looked around at the gloomy forest. It seemed that within a radius of several miles, there was only this caravan. There was an indescribably weird atmosphere in this lonely caravan.

"Blood Wolf Leader, is there a problem?" Old Man Mu stuck his head out of the carriage's tent and revealed a hint of unease and anxiety on his wrinkled face as he ashed.

"What problem? Can't you see for yourself?" The Blood Wolf Gang's leader rolled his eyes and continued, "Old Man M, the situation is much more serious than we imagined. In terms of remuneration, I need you to double it."

"You?"

Old Man Mu's face turned pale and he almost fainted. He came out of the carriage and trembled with emotion, "I say, Blood Wolf Gang's leader, it's not the first time we've cooperated with each other. You raising the price like this is too disappointing!"

"Hmph, it used to be like before. Old Man Mu, look at it yourself, it's only been less than two hours but we have already encountered more than ten beasts. This bunch of brothers of mine are risking their lives. To double the remuneration is already giving you a lot of faces."

"But if I were to pay you double the reward, then my trip this time will be a waste!" Old Man Mu felt troubled.
