Abyss Walker

Chapter 215 The Dark Forest

Dugu Jianling: "Make money first... Hey kid, where are you?"

Before Dugu Jianling could react, Yun Muhan's figure had already disappeared.

"Miss, are there any raiding missions recently?"

"Yes! Are you new here? There are five levels of missions: S, A, B, C, and D. Since you're new, we recommend you take on level D..."

"Thank you, counter lady, I'll take S++."

Upon hearing Yun Muhan's words, the counter clerk's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe her ears: "S++? Young man, are you sure? That's the most dangerous mission; even experts at the Divine Tribulation Realm wouldn't dare to take it lightly."

Yun Muhan nodded, his eyes resolute: "I'm sure. I need enough gold coins and amethyst. The reward for the S++ mission should be enough to meet my needs."

The clerk sighed, but respected his choice: "Alright, since you insist, here is the scroll for the S++ quest. The quest is to go to the Dark Forest and defeat the Demon Wolf King there. It has been frequently attacking nearby villages recently, causing great damage. The quest is extremely difficult, so be careful."

Yun Muhan accepted the scroll, thanked him, and turned to leave the mission hall. He knew that this mission was both a challenge and an opportunity for him; only by completing it could he obtain enough resources to participate in the auction and bid for the Netherworld Flower.

Dugu Jianling was getting anxious waiting at the inn. He hadn't expected Yun Muhan to leave so suddenly, especially to accept an S++ mission. He immediately chased after him, wanting to find Yun Muhan and persuade him not to take the risk.

At the edge of the dark forest, Yun Muhan stopped, his figure appearing particularly resolute in the dim light.

Surrounded by dense trees and tangled vines, the mysterious sounds emanating from the depths of the forest added to the atmosphere of tension and the unknown.

Yun Muhan took a deep breath, the fresh and slightly moist air filling his lungs and invigorating him.

He closed his eyes, feeling the rhythm of life in the forest, adjusting his breathing and heartbeat to bring his body and mind to their optimal state.

Yun Muhan lowered his body slightly, assuming a battle stance, every muscle tense, ready to unleash astonishing power at any moment.

The shadows of the dark forest seemed to converge on him at this moment, but his figure was like a ray of light, firm and bright.

Yun Muhan opened his eyes, his gaze piercing through the darkness of the forest, fixed on the challenge ahead. He moved again, stepping into the depths of the forest, embarking on the path leading to his goal.

Just then, Dugu Jianling caught up, panting: "You brat, I know you're eager for revenge, but the S++ mission isn't something we can easily complete!"

Yun Muhan turned around, looked at Dugu Jianling, and said calmly, "I know this mission is dangerous, but I have to do it. We need gold coins and amethyst, as well as to prove our strength."

Dugu Jianling was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "Alright, since you've made up your mind, I'll go with you. It's better for us to fight side by side than to face it alone."

Yun Muhan smiled slightly and nodded. The two stepped into the dark forest together, beginning their mission of subjugation. The forest was dark and damp, with the howls of demonic wolves echoing intermittently.

As they ventured deeper into the forest, the light grew dimmer, and a sense of oppression filled the air. Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling both became more vigilant, knowing that the Demon Wolf King's territory lay deep within this forest.

"We must be careful. The Demon Wolf King is not only powerful, but also cunning," Yun Muhan warned.

Dugu Jianling nodded, his hand gripping his sword tightly, ready to deal with any possible attack: "I've heard that the Demon Wolf King's fur can resist most magical and physical attacks. We need to find its weakness."

The two continued on their way when suddenly, a strong, foul gust of wind swept over them. Immediately afterward, a pack of demonic wolves sprang out from the shadows around them, their eyes gleaming green in the darkness and revealing sharp fangs.

"They're here!" Dugu Jianling shouted in a low voice, brandishing his sword as he stepped forward to meet them.

Yun Muhan was not to be outdone. His swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and each swing of his sword was imbued with powerful spiritual energy, driving back one demonic wolf after another.

However, these wolves seemed endless, constantly emerging from every corner of the forest.

"This can't go on, we have to find the Demon Wolf King!" Yun Muhan shouted, as his sword tip flashed with sword energy, repelling the surrounding demon wolves.

Dugu Jianling nodded in agreement, his figure appearing and disappearing in the dark forest as he fought alongside Yun Muhan. They began to advance deeper into the forest, each step cautious, attempting to lure out the Demon Wolf King.

Every tree and every fallen leaf in the forest may hide danger, but they are resolute and do not hesitate in the slightest.

As the battle continued, both of them gradually depleted their physical and spiritual energy.

Sweat beaded on Yun Muhan's forehead, and his breathing became rapid, but there was no sign of retreat in his eyes. He knew that this battle was not only a test of physical strength, but also a challenge to his will.

With each swing of his sword, he could feel the recoil from the tip; with each dodge, he could feel his strength draining away.

Dugu Jianling was also facing the dual depletion of physical and spiritual energy, but his swordsmanship remained sharp, each strike accurate and precise. A resolute light shone in his eyes; he knew that only by persevering could he have a chance to defeat the Demon Wolf King.

The two traversed the forest, their figures moving swiftly among the trees, as their battle with the demonic wolf grew increasingly intense.

The demon wolf was incredibly powerful, and every attack it launched was destructive. However, Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling, with their excellent teamwork and strong will, managed to withstand the demon wolf king's attacks time and time again.

Their eyes revealed an indomitable determination, and their hearts were filled with a thirst for victory. Although their physical and spiritual energy were waning, their fighting spirit grew ever stronger.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling constantly adjusted their strategies during the battle, utilizing the terrain and environment of the forest to engage in a contest of wits and strength with the demonic wolves.

Every move they made was tactically precise, every attack strategically planned. Their sole objective was to defeat the Demon Wolf King and complete their mission.
