Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 792 - 37: 1000 Peaks Demon Forest

Overall, Xiao Jie was quite satisfied with these three innate demon techniques.

One for stealth, one for defense, and one for attack.

But compared to all the innate demon techniques he had learned about, it still seemed a bit lacking. If he could learn them all, that would be amazing.

Xiao Jie glanced at the notebook filled with notes beside the keyboard and thought with some envy.

There were so many useful spells within these innate demon techniques, each one very practical, much better than those second-rate demon arts listed at the auction house. freёweɓnovel_com

Unfortunately, you could only choose three.

But it didn’t matter, as long as he completed his profession task and gained the ability of [Demon Beast Evolution], then the innate demon techniques could be picked for free.

As long as he learned the corresponding beast transformation techniques, he could directly evolve into a demon beast transformation, and demon beasts could use innate demon techniques, just thinking about it was exciting.

Therefore, the immediate task was to quickly submit the mission.

Xiao Jie opened the map, which clearly marked the approximate location on the map where Qin Shou was located.

Thousand Peaks Demon Forest — an ancient forest located in the southeast direction of Canglin State.

The name alone suggests that it’s not just an ordinary map.

"True Man, I take my leave now."

Master Xiao Yue replied indifferently, "Oh, leaving in such a hurry? Now that the Demon Star Tower is about to invade, why not stay and help me out? With your skills, you can surely achieve great feats, and rewards will not be scarce when the time comes.

Don’t you want to learn demon arts? As long as you achieve great success, even the Demon Master Institute in Canglin State can be open to you."

Faced with Master Xiao Yue’s invitation, Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment but ultimately declined politely.

"Sorry, there’s a great enemy on the horizon at Fengyin State as well, and the matter of the Soul Suppressing Pass being attacked by the Netherworld army must already be known to the True Man. The Netherworld army could return at any moment, and Long Wushang’s New Empire Army has also started a southern invasion. Just a couple of days ago, they captured the capital of my Dragon Soaring Country. As a member of Dragon Soaring Country, I must contend with them to the end."

Xiao Jie’s response was righteous, but the reason was simple—it wasn’t worth it.

Demon arts and such were just transitional spells; his goal was immortality, and staying there wouldn’t lead to immortality.

The immediate task was still to complete the profession mission, to enhance the strength of the core team as much as possible, and then go head to head with Master Hongchen.

Once Ascension to Immortality was achieved, all those demon arts and Daoist skills wouldn’t matter.

Master Xiao Yue didn’t insist, nodded, "Hmm, then off you go, safe travels."

"By the way, True Man, do you have any information about the [Thousand Peaks Demon Forest]?"

Master Xiao Yue’s brows furrowed slightly at Xiao Jie’s question. "Thousand Peaks Demon Forest? Why are you asking about that place? It’s very treacherous; it’s the oldest forest in Canglin State. In ancient times, many demons lived there, and over time, most of the Demon Race has migrated and established towns and villages, but many ancient demons still inhabit the Thousand Peaks Demon Forest.

They are inhumane and believe in the law of the jungle, killing and devouring each other. Those who survive are all strong.

And there’s no reason with them to speak of; if you go there, you’re bound to end up in a fight, so be careful."

"Thank you for your advice, True Man. I bid you farewell."

While concerned, Xiao Jie was determined to submit his mission. Fortunately, he could fly, so even if there were many large monsters, he could avoid them.

Xiao Jie bid farewell to Master Xiao Yue and transformed into a form resembling a Gray Eagle, flying northward.

After flying for a few minutes, Xiao Jie changed direction and started flying eastward.

After about ten minutes of flight, the forest below became denser, and the terrain became more uneven.

High mountains and steep ridges, countless mountain ranges formed perilous peaks and deep valleys, with mist lingering, exuding an ancient and primordial vibe.

The towering giant trees and dense forest concealed the ground, making it impossible to see what was on the ground below.

Xiao Jie checked the marked map, realizing he had entered the range of the Thousand Peaks Demon Forest.

But finding Qin Shou was quite challenging.

The map didn’t mark Qin Shou’s exact location; there was just a large circle as a reference.

Eagle Eye Skill! Xiao Jie’s eyes widened, his sharp eagle eyes brought the ground’s scenery into focus.

However, it wasn’t very useful; with the dense forest and high mountains, it was impossible to see what was on the ground.

Xiao Jie circled twice over the task area but didn’t spot the person he was looking for.

It seemed he had to land and search slowly; this Thousand Peaks Demon Forest was a high-risk map, with the system determining the adventure level to be 30-50.

Xiao Jie barely made it, and generally speaking, the adventure level was calculated based on group standards.

Alone, it was extremely dangerous, but now that Xiao Jie had improved considerably, he was bold and didn’t take it too seriously. Flapping his wings, he descended.

Passing through the tree canopies, Xiao Jie landed on the forest floor and reverted to his human form.

"Come out, Big Orange!" Xiao Jie first summoned Big Orange.

One person and one tiger then started exploring through the gaps between the forest.

The towering trees obscured the sunlight, giving the forest an eerie feel. The overgrown plants thrived excessively, the ground covered in a thick layer of decaying vegetation, with broken giant trees nearly rotten from years of wear, covered in mushrooms and moss, everything seemed ancient.

Xiao Jie used Qinggong to leap over a ditch, and Big Orange followed, jumping over, gazing at the lush green forest ahead, and nervously said, "Master, this forest—I don’t feel good about this."

"What are you afraid of, I’m here, besides, you’re a tiger, for heaven’s sake, the king of beasts, Mountain Lord, even you have fears."

Xiao Jie spoke casually, but inside, he was quite tense, since exploring maps beyond his level was risky, especially in such a game.

This forest was unusually silent for some reason; they had walked some way without seeing even a rabbit or pheasant.

Xiao Jie kept moving, feeling more and more unnerved.

He spotted a small hill in front and hopped up in a few quick strides.

Even standing on high ground, there was nothing but eerie green surrounding him.

Qi Observation Skill! Xiao Jie triggered the skill, looking around.

No effect, since this forest’s spiritual energy was exceptionally dense, almost reaching the level of Konglao Mountain, everywhere shrouded in white mist.

"Big Orange, use your Mountain Viewing Skill to take a look."

"Yes, Master."

Big Orange jumped beside Xiao Jie.

Mountain Viewing Skill!

This Mountain Viewing Skill could scout up to 1000 meters around in mountainous terrain.

Big Orange crouched on the mountain top, slowly scanning the surroundings like a king surveying its realm, suddenly, it let out a cry of surprise.

"Master, something is coming towards us!"

Xiao Jie quickly looked, indeed spotting something slowly approaching from the dense forest, and quickly readied himself, only to soon see a giant creature with a deer head and human body, standing about five or six meters tall, slowly emerging from the forest.

Xiao Jie caught sight of the creature’s appearance, and was shocked to see that it appeared to have a deer head and human body, but the head was actually not a normal deer’s head, but a white skeletal deer skull, with ghostly blue flames flickering in its eye sockets.

Its body wasn’t human but was a bizarre amalgamation of beast bones and intertwined tree branches, its upper body humanoid, its lower body a massive deer corpse.

As the creature approached slowly, the wild grass and tree leaves around it grew rapidly in a frenzy, then quickly withered, leaving behind a trail of dead, blackened plant corpses.
