Chapter 484: Gathering
Along with the retreat of the pack, Su Xiao's aura returned to normal.
— This... What is this aura? the girl's mouth opened slightly as she stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding in front of her.
— We're in trouble, " the man said, and wiped the blood from his chin. — How many people did this guy kill?" He's definitely not going to be easy to get along with — " the man patted the girl's shoulder, causing her cheeks to twitch.
She wasn't afraid of the sudden contact, but she reacted because he took the opportunity to wipe the blood on her shoulder.
— You two, " Su Xiao said, and looked sideways at the two contractors.
— Yes?.. Because of Su Xiao's gaze, the girl craned her neck.
— Show me this, " Su Xiao said and stared at the two contractors.
— What? " the girl asked and looked suspiciously at Su Xiao, while the man took a few steps back.
Su Xiao continued to stare at them without saying a word.
The girl was a little confused, and the man hesitated for a while before taking out the seed.
This seed was an ordinary seed that hadn't been processed by Daughter Yang yet. If this seed wasn't in a special container, it would have attracted a huge number of wild animals here long ago.
— We should wait for him, " the man said with a serious expression.
Suddenly, not far from the group, a boulder fell from the sky, after which the group heard the roar of a beast.
Soon, a tall humanoid creature appeared in the distance.
— He caught up with us, " the man said, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Su Xiao looked at the humanoid creature that was about four or five meters in size. It looked like a human, but it had a rather large nose, a bald head, and a long black beard.
— This... A giant? Su Xiao asked. His first thought was of these creatures, for it was the creature that most closely resembled him.
A moment later, Su Xiao stepped forward with a sword in his hand. If he dared to approach, he would kill him, even though he was a very strong looking giant.
*Ar-r-r-r!*
The giant roared. He was wearing clothes made from various animal furs and was staring at Su Xiao with his brown eyes.
— Wait, " the man said, and quickly stepped forward. The man stepped forward, and surprisingly, the giant didn't attack him.
The boulder he threw earlier was just his peculiar way of greeting other creatures.
The man looked at the giant, but he didn't know if the giant would be able to understand them.
— What the hell are you looking at? The giant asked and stared at the man.
The man was stunned.
— Give me this, " the giant said in a very haughty tone, and extended his big hand forward. The man hesitated for a moment, but eventually passed the seed to him.
The giant looked at it carefully, which was a little ridiculous, because it looked too small in his hand, but after a moment, he just threw the seed into his mouth, not even bothering to take it out of the container.
*Boom-boom...*
Very loud noises began to be heard from the giant's stomach, but after a few seconds everything went quiet and he belched with obvious pleasure.
After that, he closed his eyes for a while, then took out a piece of beast skin from his bosom.
— Map.
Dropping the piece of leather on the ground, the giant turned and left. The ground shook slightly with every step he took, but the giant turned his head from time to time, as if he was afraid of something.
When Su Xiao returned the Dragon Flash to its scabbard, the giant stopped turning around and sped up a bit.
The man picked up the map from the ground, and after confirming that everything was in order, he smiled.
— This is a map of the Black Forest.
Hearing what the man said, Su Xiao quickly stepped forward and picked up the map.
The black forest on the map was shaped like a circle that enveloped a normal area. On the other side of the forest, the edge of the island was hidden. If someone wanted to leave the island without being able to fly, they had to first go through this black forest.
Although the Black Forest was circular in shape, the entrance and exit were fixed. You could enter and exit the Black Forest from certain places.
According to the markings on the map, there was only one place to enter it. If they tried to enter it from any other point on the map, they would only end up dead..
While Su Xiao was looking at the map, Barr and the others were thinking about their own business.
— Is this map accurate? Although the giant has a good reputation, right now it's about our life and death. I only have a general idea of the Black Forest. We'll definitely need an accurate map to advance inside this forest, " Barr said through gritted teeth, causing the man and girl to look at him in surprise.
— Is this a man from the Yasenman tribe? The girl asked, carefully examining Barr's red skin.
— That's right, what's your name?" Let's introduce each other. After all, we're going to hell together, " Barr said, pointing at Su Xiao. "His name is Byakuya, my name is Barr, and this is... Barr looked at Bubtney.
— Babble, " Su Xiao said.
— Yes, yes, Bubtney, " Barr repeated.
Bubtney raised his paw and waved at them.
— So cute — " the girl leaned forward and decided to stroke Bubtney's head, but the previously cute and gentle-looking dog bared its teeth, which caused the girl to quickly pull her hand away.
— I'm little Mimi. I'm a healer, and my specialty is running fast, " Mimi said, and smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of neat little white teeth.
The man at the side took out a bottle of water and started washing the blood off his face.
After the man washed up, Su Xiao was a little surprised.
«Isn't that a lucky guy?.. How did he even survive?»
— My name is Christmas, the main tank. We've met before.
Lucky was the main tank of some group, so it wasn't surprising that he didn't die.
— Well, hello, Lucky Guy.
The pair of Su Xiao and Bubtney were very eye-catching, so he obviously remembered them.
— Lucky guy? Mimi asked with embarrassment and gave Christmas a strange look.
— It's all in the past, Christmas is just my call sign, you can call me Brother Woosang.
Whether it was fate or not, their group was quite balanced.
Su Xiao specialized in assassinations and could be a sniper.
Mimi was a good healer and could run fast.
Lucky was the main tank and had high survivability. He was able to survive a fall from a plane, a fall from a cliff, he was able to survive the captivity of the aborigines... His only downside is his luck.
Barr had good control abilities and knew a little about the black forest.
Bubtni was an excellent disguise, was able to detect something important with his nose, had an excellent aura and could attack the enemy in the back at any time.
Now all they had to do was enter the black forest.
Su Xiao wanted to enter it voluntarily, but Mimi and Wusang clearly weren't going there because of their own desires. A thin vine was attached to their necks, with which Yang's daughter controlled them.
After getting acquainted, Su Xiao realized that it was better not to deal with Mimi, as she would obviously immediately try to escape after the vine disappeared from her neck.
Woosung looked a little strange, as if he had already accepted his fate.
Barr was an old fox, but his body was filled with alchemy bombs.
