Chapter 290

With Willis leading the way, the group soon appeared at the entrance of the forest of giant trees.

Even though Gu Ding and the others had seen the spirit fruits in the forest in advance, they were still a little stunned when they saw the huge plants in the forest.

"That mushroom is so tall … It's at least three meters, right?" Ayesha could not help but exclaim as she pointed at a mushroom not far away.

"This tree is at least fifty meters in diameter, right?" Dockett looked up at the big tree in front of them with a face full of shock.

Even Gu Ding found it difficult to look away for a moment.

"The rules of this place are engraved on this stone tablet. Take a good look and don't violate them!" Willis suddenly said, "Also, you probably don't have any tools to extract blood. I have three mouthparts of the blood-sucking mosquito beasts left, I'll give them to you. As for the tools to hold the blood, I don't think I have to provide them, right? Any porcelain or glass container will do. "

After saying that, he handed Gu Ding three steel steel-like objects that were nearly two meters long. "The blood-sucking mosquito beasts are Level 3 monsters with strength comparable to a higher deity. These mouthparts can easily penetrate the defenses of the Level 1 monsters in this forest."

"Thank you, uncle!" Gu Ding grinned as he took the three mouthparts from Willis.

"I'll be leaving then. You only have ten hours, so make the most of it." Willis said as he leaped into the air. Kane immediately followed behind him and sped away.

Although Gu Ding wanted to see the battle between Willis and the blood-sucking magic vines, he also knew that with his current strength, he would not be able to see much even if he went. It would just be a waste of time. Moreover, he was not even a demigod, and there was no telling how far he was from becoming a middle deity. It was more practical to take advantage of this time to extract more beast blood. He was also somewhat grateful to Willis. Not only did Willis bring them into the forest of giant trees, but he even took the initiative to give him the tools to extract blood.

What Gu Ding did not know was that there was actually a reason why Willis took so much care of them. As a Supervisor of the Federal Government, Faye Cosmic Nation was under his jurisdiction. Every hundred years, it was his job to reinforce the barrier of the forest of giant trees. The last reinforcement of the restriction should have been completed a month ago, but due to some personal matters, he had delayed this matter. As a result, the Vampiric Vine found the weak point of the restriction and sent its will projection out.

Although he had rushed toward Faye Cosmic Nation as soon as he sensed the fluctuation of the barrier, he was still too late. If it were not for Gu Ding, all the deities and demigods on Dragon Cove would have been killed. The Lord of Faye Cosmic Nation and the members of the Parliament would not be able to survive. If things really developed in that direction, it would be a huge mistake on his part. Not only would he lose his position as a supervisor, but he might even be sent to the Outland Battlefield. When he thought of the cruel environment in the Outer Realm, his back broke out in a cold sweat.

Willis was very grateful to Gu Ding. Although two guardians and over ten Demigods had died, with his means and connections, he would still be able to suppress the situation. Therefore, when Senna said that Gu Ding and the others were not qualified to enter the forest, he reprimanded Senna.

He did not refuse Kane's request. He knew that at Kane's level, she was desperate to break through to Medium Deity. To him, it was a piece of cake for her to watch the battle. A deity had a long lifespan. Perhaps one day, Kane would do better than him, and there would come a time when he would ask for her help.

After Willis and Kane left, Gu Ding and the others were the only ones left in the huge forest.

Gu Ding retracted his gaze and looked at the tablet at the entrance. There were some words carved on it, and there were a few things that he needed to pay attention to:

"You are not allowed to kill beasts in the forest. Violators will be killed without mercy!"

"You are not allowed to take more than ten liters of blood from each beast at a time. After the blood is taken, you must release the captured beasts. Violators will be killed without mercy! "

"You are only allowed to pick spirit fruits that are ripe. You are not allowed to pick those that are not ripe. Violators will be killed without mercy! "

"You are not allowed to deliberately destroy all the flowers and trees in the forest. Violators will be killed without mercy. "

"Everyone, look carefully at the rules on the tablet. Don't violate them," Gu Ding said to everyone. "Alright, time is limited. I'll assign the teams. Lilliath, Dockett, and Robert will be in a group of three. Tagore, Biggie, and Elsa will be in another group. Me and Neptune will be in another group. Biggie's combat effectiveness won't be able to return to its peak anytime soon after the battle. So, Tagore, don't just play around. Keep an eye on them. Biggie and Elsa, keep an eye on Tagore as well. Don't let him cause any trouble. All the beasts here are not allowed to be killed. At most, you can only take ten liters of blood. Now, there are three teams. Everyone, choose a direction. When the time is up, come back here and gather. If you encounter any trouble that you can't solve along the way, contact Neptune. I'll also ask Neptune to keep an eye on your movements. "

After that, Gu Ding handed two mouthparts to Robert and Biggie respectively. Then, the three teams dispersed.

"This forest is mainly divided into three layers: the outer layer, the inner layer, and the core area. Biggie and Robert, try your best to stay in the outer layer. The outer layer is basically made up of one-star or two-star beasts. There are occasionally three-star beasts, but there are very few of them. As for the inner layer, they are all three-star beasts and above, and most of them are four-star beasts. As for the core layer, it's basically made up of five-star beasts and a small number of four-star beasts that live in groups. Gu Ding, take advantage of the fact that your flame form hasn't disappeared yet. You can go around the core layer. " Neptune gave everyone some guidance and also marked the distribution of the beasts on the map for everyone.

Gu Ding, on the other hand, rose into the air under Neptune's guidance and rushed all the way to the core area.

Robert's and Biggie's teams soon encountered their first targets.

With Robert's strength, he shot out a Freeze Ray and easily froze the huge rabbit. Then, he began to take its blood. With Dockett and Lilliath's combat effectiveness, they could only watch from the side.

On Biggie's side, although Biggie could not use his ultimate skills for a while, a one-star or a two-star deity was not much of a challenge to him. They also encountered a rabbit. Biggie did not even need to do anything. With Elsa's help, Tagore did not even need to transform and easily finished the battle.

As soon as Gu Ding flew to the core area, he heard the roar of a battle in the distance. The roar shook the entire ground and many beasts fled. He knew that it was the Vampiric Vines and Willis fighting. The roar lasted for less than half a minute before it stopped completely. Gu Ding guessed that Willis had taken care of the Vampiric Vines. After all, Willis was a powerful higher deity, and his will projection was also that of a higher deity. Although Gu Ding did not know how many stars he had, he was sure that he was stronger than the Vampiric Vines, which was only a medium deity. This was because even a one-star higher deity's combat effectiveness was a thousand times stronger than a medium deity who had just been promoted to five-star. It was not an exaggeration to be able to suppress the other party in half a minute.

"Neptune, did you record their battle?" Gu Ding asked quickly. After his cultivation level had increased, Neptune's authority had also increased. He could now check on the deities' movements.

"Their battle is not over. The Vampiric Vines have escaped. Also, the Vampiric Vines' aura is a little strange …" Neptune's voice sounded a little uncertain.

"Escaped?!" Gu Ding thought it was a little strange. Given the absolute difference in combat effectiveness, it was reasonable to say that it would be difficult to escape. "Then record it over there. I'll look at it when I have time."

After saying that, Gu Ding sped toward the coordinates of the first four-star beast pack given by Neptune.

After seeing the beast pack, Gu Ding grinned. It was a wolf pack, and there were quite a lot of them. There were about fifty of them. Gu Ding swooped down and entered the wolf pack. He threw punches and kicks one after another, and the giant beasts collapsed one by one. In less than a minute, there was not a single giant wolf left standing. From beginning to end, the giant wolves' claws and teeth did not hurt Gu Ding at all.

Gu Ding took out the mouthpiece that looked like a steel pipe and easily pierced it into the fur of a giant wolf. It was much easier than Gu Ding had imagined. He began to draw blood from the wolves one by one.

Out of the fifty-six giant wolves, when he was about to draw forty, Neptune's voice suddenly came hurriedly. "Gu Ding, run! The Vampiric Vines are coming in your direction! "

Gu Ding frowned and pulled out the mouthpiece that was drawing blood. He quickly rose into the air and fled toward the periphery of the forest. Gu Ding was a battle maniac, but he was not someone who did not know his limits. The Vampiric Vines were able to escape from a higher deity like Willis. Their combat effectiveness was definitely not as simple as Gu Ding had thought. At least Gu Ding knew very well that even if Willis was just a will projection, he could easily kill him in one move.

"Gu Ding, move toward the ten o 'clock direction. That way, you can meet up with Willis and the others as soon as possible." Neptune's voice came again.

Gu Ding immediately adjusted his direction and sped away.

He had not flown far when he clearly heard the howls of giant wolves coming from behind him. He did not have to look back to know what kind of scene it was.

Hundreds of incomparably thick vines shot up from the ground one by one, swiftly wrapping around the giant wolves, tearing and twisting them. In just a moment, the fifty-six giant wolves were completely crushed into powder. Their fur, muscles, and bones were all crushed into powder. Scarlet blood splattered all over the ground, dyeing the ground into a river of blood.

The Vampiric Vine let out an angry and frenzied howl after noticing Gu Ding, who was flying away at high speed. Several black and gold vines flew toward Gu Ding at a speed several times faster than Gu Ding's, trying to strangle him …
