Chapter 124

124 THE THREE-HEADED SNAKE

There were two areas in the Forbidden Forest, and those two areas were the inner and outer areas separated by an invisible barrier.

At first glance, the two locations were no different because they were both in the forest. Both areas were dominated by trees, and even the types of trees and the climate between the two areas were also the same.

The only difference between the two areas was the beasts. In the outer area of ??the Forbidden Forest, there were only beasts of low to medium level, and the size of the beasts was also small to medium.

It could be said that the beasts in the outer area were not particularly dangerous, and that was why humans and werewolves could freely enter the area when they searched for wood from the trees in the forest.

The situation was different from the inner part of the forest. In the inner area that was surrounded by an invisible barrier, there were only high-level beasts that were gigantic in size, and all of them were dangerous to both humans and werewolves.

The inner area was also called the “core” of the forest, and it could be said that the invisible barrier between the core and the outer area was the real barrier that existed within the Forbidden Forest.

The permanent barrier outside the outer part of the forest only existed to trap the beasts so that they wouldn’t escape from the forest, but humans and werewolves could still enter it if it was not during the Beast Hunting Event period.

It was different from the barrier between the core and the outer area that had existed for hundreds of years and couldn’t be penetrated by humans, werewolves, and also the beasts.

Even the human and werewolf kingdoms only dared to hold events in the outer area of ??the Forbidden Forest without allowing participants to infiltrate the core, and it showed that the core area was indeed dangerous.

.....

Hearing Wu Jinhai’s explanation, Bai Chen now understood the reason behind the man’s words earlier. Wu Jinhai said that there might be someone who deliberately destroyed the barrier around the inner core and sent the giant snake into the outer area, and that person definitely didn’t have any good intentions.

“But, why do you say that that person purposely sent the snake beast for Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui?” Bai Chen could understand most of the stories told by Wu Jinhai, but he still didn’t understand that part.

“That’s just my assumption,” replied the taller man. “I think this beast was the first to come out from the deepest part of the forest and went straight into the cave as if it was provoked by something. However, I’m still not completely sure about that since it’s just my theory. It’s still possible that your brother and his lover are just unlucky.”

This time, Bai Chen finally noticed something from Wu Jinhai’s explanation, and he turned his gaze towards Wu Jinhai while asking, “You keep mentioning the word ‘lover.’ Do you know their relationship?”

Bai Chen thought that Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui had a secret relationship. He still remembered how Ma Qiao had nervously told him the story, and he thought that not many people knew the story. He didn’t expect that an “outsider” like Wu Jinhai would find out about the secret affair of the Crown Prince and the girl from the Black Werewolf Clan.

“I know a lot of things you don’t know, Bai Chen,” Wu Jinhai replied proudly, but it couldn’t actually be said as an answer as the man was just boasting.

Bai Chen snorted in response, but he didn’t refute because Wu Jinhai was only telling the truth. Wu Jinhai did know a lot of things he didn’t, and that included facts about the two areas of the Forbidden Forest. Wu Jinhai knew a lot about it, and he also knew a lot about beasts.

“Yes. You even know that they are the ones having sex in the cave, but you didn’t even tell me about it. Sure enough, you know a lot of things that I don’t,” the Werewolf Prince was being sarcastic, but Wu Jinhai just laughed a little without showing any sign of being offended by what the shorter man had just said.

Bai Chen was annoyed, but he knew that this wasn’t the time to fight with the annoying Wu Jinhai, so he focused his eyes on the battle again as he asked the man in red, “So, someone purposely let this snake beast out of the core of the forest? This snake beast didn’t come out because of my whistle?”

He just remembered that he was whistling when he tried to calm down earlier. He hoped his big friend would fall asleep soon, and that’s when he discovered a new method to calm his erection.

“You think this beast suddenly appeared because of your whistle? How could you think of such a thing?” Wu Jinhai asked back instead of answering.

From the tone of Wu Jinhai’s question, Bai Chen could tell that the man was mocking him, and he just pouted without giving the man an answer.

The snake beast suddenly appeared after he finished whistling, so he couldn’t help but think that the snake’s appearance was related to the sound he made earlier. He thought that his deduction was not stupid, but Wu Jinhai did not think the same.

“And, why are you even whistling in this dangerous forest? Do you always whistle when you have an erection? That’s your way of dealing with your erection? But I think it’s quite effective because you seem calmer now,” Wu Jinhai continued asking the white-robed man while glancing at the man’s crotch, and the man fell silent when he heard how the masked man kept teasing him.

“Let’s go,” Wu Jinhai got no answer, and he decided to break the silence between him and the Werewolf Prince.

Hearing how the taller man asked him to leave the area, Bai Chen frowned at the man. “Where are we going? Are we going to help Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui?” He decided to ask while glancing at the snake beast.

He could see that the giant beast was still in its fury mode, and even if Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui had started attacking the beast again, it still showed no signs that the two of them would soon achieve victory.

For some reason, Bai Chen thought that the beast was behaving strangely. When he focused his blue eyes on the beast’s head, he could see how it kept moving from within as if something was about to burst out of it, and Bai Chen furrowed his brows when he saw the strange sight.

“It’s the Three-Headed Snake,” Wu Jinhai suddenly muttered, and Bai Chen turned to him with a frown.

“Why is it called the Three-Headed Snake when it only has one head? Don’t you think the name is-”

Before Bai Chen finished saying his question, he could suddenly hear the beast growl loudly, and when he turned his gaze towards the beast again, his eyes widened because the beast now had three heads just like Wu Jinhai had just said.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“One head is just the camouflage,” Wu Jinhai replied. “When in a dire situation, one head will self-destruct, and three real heads will emerge from the crushed head. That’s what just happened after the beast’s tail was cut off by that girl from the Black Werewolf Clan.”

Bai Chen was silent. He did see the strange movement of the snake’s head, but he didn’t think that the movement was a process before the snake appeared in its true form. Now the snake had three heads of the same size, and a pair of red eyes had tripled into three pairs of red eyes.

The three heads moved furiously as they tried to kill their opponents, and Bai Chen could see that Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui were in danger right now.

“I think you should help them, Wu Jinhai,” Bai Chen looked panicked as he once again turned to the red-robed man. “I can’t fight, but I know you can, so you better help them now.”

Bai Chen knew that his relationship with the two people was not good, but he still couldn’t see the two people being killed by the beast. Therefore, he hoped that Wu Jinhai would help them this time.

“Bai Renshu wouldn’t like it if someone like me suddenly appeared to help him when he was trying to be a hero to his lover,” Wu Jinhai replied without looking at Bai Chen. “I know he can handle this snake, and we’d better go somewhere because I have other matters to deal with there.”

Bai Chen was confused when he heard Wu Jinhai’s words, but when the man suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the battle area, he could only follow the man before turning his head towards the battle area once more.

‘You must get out of this forest alive, Bai Renshu.’
