Chapter 73: Forest of Arcane

“That dark energy developed rapidly and grew in just a few days. By the time the sorcerers noticed it, it was already too late. Thus, under the lead of a few Legendary Mages, at the cost of more than a hundred high-level mages and the lives of a few Legends, they cast a powerful sealing spell, World Strip.

“After stripping the entire Forest of Arcane and the dark energy inside out of the main world, in order to prevent it from harming other worlds, they refined the Forest of Arcane into a small mystic realm and attached it to the outer space of the Main World.

“And the array that removed the sealing magic, World Strip, is recorded in the Arcane Magic Book that my son took away. That’s why I’m worried. If my son gives the Arcane Magic Book to a creature corroded by dark energy, if those creatures cast a magic circle and let the Forest of Arcane return to the Main World, then I, Vanni, will become the sinner of the entire world.

“Powerful adventurers, can you enter the Forest of Arcane and help me bring back my son and the Arcane Magic Book?”

As Vanni asked, the system notification sounded.

[Do you accept the mission: Vanni’s Hidden Mission: Find Vanni’s son and the Arcane Magic Book to prevent the dark energy from invading the main world.]

Although he didn’t know how terrifying the Forest of Arcane was, Lin Shuang had already wasted so much effort. How could he give up halfway?

“Vanni, I’m willing to help you find your son and the Arcane Magic Book. But can you tell me some details about the Forest of Arcane?”

Seeing that Lin Shuang had agreed to his request, Vanni immediately told Lin Shuang everything he knew about the Forest of Arcane.

“The Forest of Arcane has been sealed for a long time. I don’t know much, but one thing I’m sure of is that the strongest creature among them won’t exceed an Intermediate Sorcerer (Level 30).

“As the magic array, World Strip, will isolate all energy transmission inside and outside the mystic realm, the magic contained in it is definitely extremely low as it has been consumed for so many years.”

Lin Shuang heaved a sigh of relief. With his current strength, as long as his opponent’s level was not too ridiculous, he still had a way to complete the mission.

“Okay, Vanni, I got it. I’ll go back and prepare now. Then, I’ll set off for the Forest of Arcane.” After saying that, Lin Shuang picked up the incomplete teleportation array on the table and prepared to leave with Qian Shanxue.

But at this moment, Vanni spoke again, “Adventurer, wait. I have one more thing! Your incomplete teleportation magic array is the only way to enter the Forest of Arcane. The incomplete magic array can still support a seven-man team twice from the mystic realm of the Forest of Arcane to the main world.

“So you only have two chances. Once you use up the two chances, but you still can’t find my son and the Arcane Magic Book, then we can no longer stop the dark energy in the Forest of Arcane from returning to the main world.”

Lin Shuang nodded to indicate that he understood. He quickly walked out of the library with Qian Shanxue and began to gather Little Fatty and the others.

At this moment, the three of them were leveling up according to Lin Shuang’s instructions. After receiving Lin Shuang’s message, the three of them quickly killed the wild monsters in front of them, picked up the dropped items, and rushed back to the gathering place that Lin Shuang had sent.

As Lingfan City was not far from the three of them, they arrived at the gathering place sent by Lin Shuang in less than fifteen minutes.

Looking at the three Level 18 and 19 people, Lin Shuang smiled and nodded before telling them why he had summoned them. “I’m going to enter a high-level hidden map this time. As that map can bring people, I’ve decided to bring the three of you along. I wonder if you guys want to come with me?”

After Lin Shuang asked, he saw Fatty and the other two looking behind him in surprise. “Lin Shuang, I didn’t expect you to like this type! When did you take her down?”

Hearing Fatty’s terrifying words and Lu Wan’s gaze that wanted to cut him, Lin Shuang’s scalp instantly went numb. “F*ck you, Fatty. You can eat shit, but you can’t spout nonsense! Qian Shanxue and I are partners. It’s not what you think, you scum with a dirty mind!”

Looking at Lin Shuang, who was talking nonsense, Fatty instantly laughed out loud and teased him. “I thought you liked this ordinary type. It turns out that you didn’t abandon our Lu Wan. Hahaha…”

However, as Fatty smiled, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. It was as if he had been targeted by a large ferocious beast. All the hair on his body stood on end.

Qian Shanxue and Lu Wan had unknowingly stood behind Fatty. After the two of them pressed down on his shoulders, they had stiff smiles on their faces and said in a sinister tone.

“Fatty, who do you think has an ordinary figure?”

“Fatty, what did you mean just now?”

Their words were like soul-locking Sanskrit that kept replaying in Fatty’s ears. Fatty was so frightened that his entire body couldn’t stop trembling. His eyes kept hinting at Lin Shuang and Chu Feng to save him.

However, the two of them did not dare to provoke those two at this moment. They turned their heads away from Fatty and let him fend for himself. The two of them left him in the lurch, making Fatty instantly feel that there was no way out. He knew that he could not escape this calamity. “Um, about that, no matter what, I’m a person with dignity. Can you be gentler?”

However, the only response he received was two beautiful faces with insincere smiles on the left and right. They emitted a strange black aura. Then, Lu Wan and Qian Shanxue grabbed Fatty’s shoulders from both sides as if they were holding air and lifted him into the air, bringing him out of the street.

They gave Fatty a friendly exchange lesson on how to respect women.

Fatty’s screams made Chu Feng’s hair stand on end. After Lin Shuang sent him the content he wanted to say and the things he needed to prepare, he didn’t dare to stay for a second longer and went offline.

As Fatty’s good brother, Lin Shuang could not bear to see Fatty suffer and leave behind a small band-aid.

After sending the things he wanted to prepare to the corresponding people, he endured the sadness (happiness), pain (joy), and desire to watch a show and also went offline.

After going offline, Lin Shuang looked at Fatty, who was wearing a virtual helmet but twitching unconsciously. He couldn’t bear to open the recording function on his phone.

Then, he endured the grief in his heart and ate a big meal outside. He returned home and turned off the recording function on his phone. After uploading it to the storage space, he could no longer suppress his sleepiness. He lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Fatty was left alone. Like an epileptic patient, he shook on his bed.
