After leaving Tianji City, we walked east for three days and finally arrived outside a lush jungle.
A huge stone tablet beside the forest was engraved with the words "No Return to the Forbidden Forest", and there were many other things along the way.
Soldiers from the Shaotianji Empire were guarding the area, but at a glance it was clear that most of them were reservists, and many of the soldiers were not even equipped with military uniforms.
Zhuang Shaoyu rode at the forefront, looking for a path into the Forest of No Return.
Although it was a forbidden area, bold hunters still occasionally entered to hunt.
For them, no place was a forbidden area in order to survive and support their families, so there must be no place in the forest.
There is a road opened by the hunters that can be entered.
The eight members of my party are all riding horses.
It is obvious that there must be a road to walk in the mountains.
A spring rain had just ended, and the forest was green, and the small white flowers blooming among the green were pleasing to the eye.
Si Kong Yao and Shang Qian also smiled.
After all, they were both women, and they would naturally be attracted by such beautiful scenery.
Open your heart and feel relaxed.
From a distance, a dozen soldiers holding spears were walking on a dirt road full of mud and dead leaves.
Each of their faces was green and yellow.
It looked like they lacked nutrition.
The Forest of No Return was located in a remote area, and these soldiers must not be able to eat it.
What a good thing.
The attires of Zhuang Shaoyu, Bei Mingjie, Sikong Yao, Shang Qian and others looked like they were either rich or noble, so a group of soldiers did not dare to make any mistakes.
The veteran in the lead raised his spear tremblingly and said respectfully: "Several of them Young Master and Miss, this place is the Forest of No Return and is listed as one of the forbidden areas by the empire.
No one is allowed to enter.
Please don’t make things difficult for us soldiers.
Please take a detour."
Zhuang Shaoyu stretched out his hand and pointed deep into the forest and asked: "Master, what is in the forest?"
"In the woods" The veteran looked sad and said: "There is everything in this forest, monsters, demon spirits, giant pythons, ferocious beasts, etc. are running rampant.
Those of us who are on duty can only camp in the open land, otherwise we will be attacked by surprise.
This month alone, In our defense group, seven brothers have already died under the claws of demon spirits."
"The demon spirit is so arrogant and dares to attack the imperial army."
Zhuang Shaoyu was stunned.
The veteran nodded: "Young master, you don't know.
Every thousand people in the army guarding the Forest of No Return will have one holy warrior.
The strong aura exuded by the holy warriors is enough to scare ordinary little monsters, but we are The garrison has a total of 2,000 people, most of whom are new recruits, so The adults above have not arranged a holy warrior for us.
The demon spirits in the Forest of No Return are spiritual.
They know that I am easy to bully and they attack me repeatedly.
I really don’t know when the empire will send the Tianji Dragon Riders.
The warriors came to destroy these arrogant spiritual beasts."
"They will come."
Zhuang Shaoyu comforted the veteran and asked: "Is there a way into the mountain here?"
"Young master wants to go into the mountain."
The veteran was startled: "I would like to advise you, it's better not to go into the mountain.
Unless you are like a dragon knight these days, if you enter the Forest of No Return, you will never come back.
It has been so many years." , too many demon spirits in the Forest of No Return are about to attain enlightenment and ascend, and they are very fierce."
"The purpose of our trip is to enter the mountains.
Don't stop us."
Zhuang Shaoyu said calmly.

The veteran frowned, and several recruits behind him immediately raised their weapons and surrounded Zhuang Shaoyu, Lin Muyu, Sikong Yao and others, yelling: "No one is allowed to trespass into the Forest of No Return.
This is the law of the empire.
You want to disobey the empire?"
Law?"
Zhuang Shaoyu smiled slightly, took out a gold token from his arms, and said, "What if I have this?"
Everyone looked and saw that the recruits didn't recognize each other at all, but the veteran squinted at the words on the token.
He couldn't help but trembled, threw away his spear and knelt in the mud: "I see you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
It must be Zhuang Shaoyu, the young master of Da Situ."
"As long as you recognize Situ Jinling, can we enter the mountain now?"
Zhuang Shaoyu asked with a proud look on his face.
The veteran frowned and nodded: "Young Master wants to go into the mountain, then go into the mountain.
Legend has it that Young Master Zhuang Shaoyu is the strongest among the younger generation in the imperial capital.
Presumably, the demon spirits in the mountain will not be able to do anything to the Young Master, but he belongs to I would like to advise you, please be careful.
The lord in the Forest of Return is a demon emperor.
Once he attracts the demon emperor’s attention, he may not be able to escape easily.”
After saying that, the veteran glanced at Sikong Yao and Shang Qian and said, "Besides, we brought two such beautiful ladies with us."
He obviously said that these two women were holding him back, and Sikong Yao suddenly became unhappy.
He opened his fingers and roared with ice Xuanjin.
He rolled up the fallen leaves around him and hit the big tree nearby with a "bang" sound. , this big tree nearly twenty meters high was cut in half and fell down suddenly.
"Why, can't I enter the Forest of No Return?"
Sikong Yao asked with a smile.
The veteran was horrified, thinking that this group of people was not simple.
One was the number one master of the new generation in Tianji City, the other was such a powerful girl, and the others who had not taken action must not be simple either.
Shang Qian smiled slightly: "Okay, Ayao, don't embarrass them, just take out the war palace's pass."
Sikong Yao chuckled, took out a piece of paper from his arms, shook it open, and said, "See clearly, the permission order to enter the No-Return Forest signed by Sikong Ming, the leader of the Tianji Sect, is that okay?"
The veteran nodded repeatedly: "Okay, the nearest path into the mountain is not far behind.
I will take you there."
"Well, thank you very much."
The veteran led everyone into the mountain with one foot and one foot.
The road at the foot of the mountain was full of mud.
After being soaked by the spring rain for a few days, it turned into a puddle of mud.
Most of the soldiers in the garrison had tattered feet.
The straw sandals of many people were even worn out and dripping with blood.
Lin Muyu rode his horse and walked side by side with the veteran, and asked softly: "Master, it stands to reason that the empire's military strength is so strong, and such an important matter as guarding the forbidden forest land should not be carried out by new soldiers.
Why is this?"
The veteran sighed: "Young master, you don't know.
A month ago, the entire Tianji Empire issued an edict, and the major legions began to train and prepare for war.
God knows what is going to happen.
People everywhere are frantically recruiting people to serve as new recruits, and the four major legions are We don’t know where the elite troops have been sent to garrison.
Judging from the situation, they are going to fight, and it will be an unprecedented big battle. " "oh" Lin Muyu nodded: "Should we fight against the Tianjue Empire or the Blackstone Empire?"
"That is His Majesty's business.
How could we soldiers know?
We will fight whoever His Majesty wants us to fight."
Zhuang Shaoyu smiled slightly: "Young knight, what are you asking about these armies?
It stands to reason that as a ranger, you should ask more about Tianji Sect and Dragon Riders."

What a great Zhuang Shaoyu, so alert.
Lin Muyu smiled lightly and said: "I'm just curious.
If these new soldiers fight against the demon spirits, they will simply die.
It's unbelievable."
"That's right."
Zhuang Shaoyu looked up at the sky and said, "However, what His Majesty and the Marshal decide must have their intentions.
We people should not speculate casually."
"Um."
Lin Muyu continued to remain silent.
Soon after, they entered the Forest of No Return.
As the outside world said, the Forest of No Return was extremely dangerous.
Lin Muyu closed her eyes and let the horse follow Sikong Yao's horse.
She held the reins in her hand, but her spiritual pulse technique was fully deployed, and she quickly detected the situation.
I detected a relatively strong one nearby.
These auras, there is a strong aura less than three miles away, and there are a few farther away, and even further, there is also a aura about fifteen miles away, it is very strong, at least it is a demon spirit at the level of a demon master.
It seemed that this night was destined not to be too peaceful.
Zhuang Shaoyu glanced at Bei Mingjie and said with a smile: "Little prince, our competition at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet half a year ago has not yet decided the winner.
How about we compete again this time?"
Bei Mingjie smiled faintly: "What kind of competition method does Shaoyu want?"
Zhuang Shaoyu took out a delicate bag from his waist, shook it, and said: "This is the bag I used to hold the demon spirit stone.
It is still empty.
From now on until we walk out of the Forest of No Return, let's see whose bag it is."
How about installing more and stronger Demon Spirit Stones and deciding the outcome based on the quality of the Demon Spirit Stones?"
"Ha, that's what I meant."
Bei Mingjie agreed happily and said: "But once the demon spirit appears, the one with the ability will take it.
Brother Shaoyu should still understand this truth."
"Of course."
Zhuang Shaoyu nodded: "If it is the demon spirit that the young prince likes, I, Zhuang Shaoyu, will never fight for it."
"Okay, it's a deal" At this moment, Shang Qian's beautiful eyes glanced at Lin Muyu and Liu Buyi, and then she smiled and said: "Since it is a competition, the more people, the better.
I heard A Yao say that this young man The strength of Xia is still higher than that of A Yao.
If this is the case, how about participating in the competition with the young Xia, and the three of us compete together to be the strongest in our profession."
Sikong Yao became a little excited and looked at Lin Muyu with encouragement in her eyes.
Lin Muyu secretly complained, this Shang Qian is really an extraordinary woman, she just wanted to see how capable she was, but with a few words she couldn't refuse, so she nodded: "Just take part."
Zhuang Shaoyu said: "That's fine.
A competition between three people would be more interesting.
But since it is a competition, there must be a reward.
Ayao and Miss Shang Qian, what kind of reward do you think is best for the winner of the competition?"
Sikong Yao said: "Gold" "It's too vulgar," Zhuang Shaoyu denied with a smile.
"Then a Demon King-level Demon Spirit Stone" "This is a bit shabby, and it has no practical significance."
This time, the young prince Bei Mingjie denied it.
His eyes kept wandering on Shang Qian.
Obviously Bei Mingjie was also one of Shang Qian's suitors.
I came here for Shang Qian, and my purpose was very simple.
Sikong Yao saw what he was thinking, smiled slightly, turned over and flew up, landing behind Shang Qian, hugging Shang Qian's waist and laughing.
"Little girl, what are you going to do?"

Shang Qian couldn't help but laugh.
Sikong Yao grabbed the beautiful cloak behind Shang Qian and said: "This robe has the pattern of the imperial emblem rusted by Sister Shang Qian's own hands.
It is also Sister Shang Qian's favorite thing.
How about this?
Sister Shang Qian sacrifices it.
Who can win?"
For the competition, I’ll give Sister Shang Qian’s intimate robe to whoever it is, what about this, it’s a good idea, isn’t it?”
Bei Mingqi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's very good."
Zhuang Shaoyu was a little embarrassed: "I just don't know what Miss Shang Qian means":
