People with a cool head

"Hmm?" He clearly didn't know why the other party would come looking for him, and doubt flashed in his eyes.

"You are a mortal?" The mercenary sized Yu Nai up from head to toe, his face still showing disbelief. Although there were some people who were born without Root Bone, there were very few who managed to obtain it from Mortal Realm.

"Yes, what can I do for you?" Although the other party's tone was calm, Yu Nai did not know why but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"Have you heard of Demonic Beast Forest before?"

"A little." In addition, he had heard them talking about quite a lot of things along the way.

That person slightly frowned, "Do you know what it means for us to form a team?"

Yu Nai raised his eyebrows, and did not say a word, but his eyes indicated for him to continue speaking.

"That means after we enter, no matter what danger we encounter, we have to bear it together."

"Don't worry, I'm not a coward." Waving his hand, although Yu Nai was afraid of death, but he had his principles.

"I have no doubt about that. I only said that you are a mortal, and that you were probably scared senseless by those low level Demonic Beast before you even went in."

"…"

Yu Nai was silent for a moment, even if the other party did not say it, he could tell that he was implying that he would drag them down. It had only been two days, why did those people send this man over to talk? Although this man looked a little savage, he was not the type that Yu Nai was afraid of.

After thinking for a moment, he turned his head and discovered that the people sitting opposite him were all looking in his direction. When they met his eyes, they all smiled and then nonchalantly lowered their heads and continued their banter.

Looking at the expressions of these people, Yu Nai understood. He couldn't help but sneer inwardly, but he didn't reveal it on his face.

The mercenary was still seated at the side, seemingly waiting for Yu Nai's answer.

"What are you talking about?" Lan Feng's voice came from above.

The mercenary moved back a little and said, "Seeing that he's bored, we can talk for a bit." He then turned around and returned to his companion's side.

Lan Feng sat down on the side. Seeing that Yu Nai's complexion was not good, plus the words he had heard just now, he could roughly guess what was going on. However, he did not say anything as he turned over and laid down.

Looking at Lan Feng, Yu Nai knew that he must have guessed something, but since he didn't say anything, it wasn't good for him to speak up either. Glancing at the group of people not far away, he also laid down beside Lan Feng.

"We'll part with them when we reach the edge of the forest tomorrow." Lan Feng's voice came out, Yu Nai took a look, and realised that the man's lips were also pursed, probably talking to him using the Spiritual Sense.

Yu Nai slightly nodded his head, but he could not fall asleep at the moment, so he practiced the Unparalleled Level 1 for a few times in his heart, and when he felt sleepy, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up on the second day, Yu Nai saw that Lan Feng had set up a bonfire. Before they had roasted the meat, he had bought from the little town and when he saw that had given him the roasted meat.

Yu Nai got up and realized that the place was a little quiet. He turned around to look and sure enough, the empty space that was originally full of people was now empty, not even a trace of it.

The corner of Yu Nai's mouth twitched. He didn't even need to ask to know that those people had already planned to abandon them.

"Hmph, these people are really cold-hearted." Yu Nai could not help but click his tongue.

Lan Feng's face did not show much emotion as he replied, "This way, I'll avoid having to think of a way to get rid of them."

The two of them had previously planned to go their separate ways in the forest. Although things went much more smoothly than they had imagined, they were still the ones who had been abandoned. Thus, they felt a bit uncomfortable in their hearts.

After the two of them finished eating, they continued their journey. It was noon when they finally reached the entrance of the forest, and looking at the huge tree in front of them, Yu Nai couldn't help but shiver.

Lan Feng looked at him: "Come, follow me closely."

Yu Nai was naturally obedient, almost hanging himself upside down on top of Lan Feng's body.

Not long after they left, they saw the beast's corpse on the ground. The blood on it had not dried yet, it must have just died, no wonder there was the smell of blood.

Yu Nai used his leg to kick the corpse, only to discover that there was a hole in his chest and another in his head.

Lan Feng pointed to the hole in his head and said: "This Demonic Beast probably has a Crystal Core, so it was taken by someone else."

So that was how it was, Yu Nai secretly cursed at the corpse.

They were at the outskirts of the forest, and the further they went in, the more Yu Nai could feel the intense pressure, and the smell of blood was getting stronger. On the road just now, Lan Feng had already killed at least 10 low levelled Demonic Beast. Although it did not seem like he had spent much effort, Yu Nai's strings were still stretched to the extreme, afraid that he would suddenly jump out from that direction and kill all the Demonic Beast.

Lan Feng frowned slightly as he heard the sounds of fighting from in front. He pulled Yu Nai aside and carefully hid himself.

The voice that sounded a little familiar entered Yu Nai's ears. Through the dense forest, he discovered that it was actually the group of people that had left the two of them in the morning.
