Road to Be the God

Chapter 51 Purple Fairy

Lin Tian decided to take on the assignment without much thought. He now needed moon drops to make moderate gale formation patterns. To complete such an assignment, he could acquire eight moon drops, which would save him a lot of trouble. If he didn't take this time and the assignment was completed by others later, he would have to complete 30 ordinary assignments.

The moon drop couldn't be bought no matter how much money one had.

"You decided?" Asked Mi Fei.

"Yes." Lin Tian nodded.

Mi Fei took out a scroll from the counter and handed it to Lin Tian, saying, "This is some introduction of the geographical features and monster beasts in the Dark Forest. I hope that it would be useful to you." After a pause, Mi Fei continued to say, "By the way, sir, another formation master has also taken on this assignment before. You'd better move fast."

Lin Tian wondered aloud, "Someone has taken on it? Why is it still posted in the assignment column?"

"Because many missions need a lot of target objects, there is generally no limit on the number of people and the times to take the assignment. After that, when the Guild receives enough target objects for the assignment, we will remove the assignment from the assignment column," Mi Fei explained, "Now, only one last shade spectre flower is needed."

Lin Tian frowned. Only one was needed?

He really needed to accelerate.

Lin Tian nodded and put away the scroll handed by Mi Fei.

"Thank you. See you," Lin Tian said to Mi Fei.

Mi Fei sent Lin Tian to the door with respect, "Sir, good-bye. I wish you a success to get the shade spectre flower."

Lin Tian nodded, pushed the door and went out.

After returning to the Martial Institution, Lin Tian simply packed up some things. Then he found Su Shu and told her that he had something to be done for a few days. He asked Su Shu to accompany Lin Xi these days. Of course, he also told Lin Xi about his leaving.

On this day, Lin Tian left the Martial Institution and walked towards the Dark Forest.

The Dark Forest was located in the west of Fengjian City. It was a monster beast paradise that was more dangerous than Qingfeng Mountain. After Lin Tian left Jiuyang Martial Institution, he walked for even four hours to the edge of the Dark Forest. Looking around, Lin Tian found that the forest was vast, and the old trees were hardy and sturdy.

It was scorching in the hot summer. When he came to the Dark Forest, Lin Tian took off his black robe and put on a white gown. He immediately felt much refreshed. Here was the Dark Forest. In this place, he didn't worry about being ambushed by killers of the Mo family and the Xiao family. The two families wouldn't ambush him here unless they were fools.

At the moment, there were many people outside the Dark Forest. A cry came out. A middle-aged man was shouting to recruit martial artists coming alone around.

"When every single of us come together, we will gather great strength!" Cried the middle-aged man.

The Dark Forest was a treasure gathering place, in which there were numerous precious herbs. Therefore, a large number of people broke into the Dark Forest every day. It was well known that there were monster beasts all over the Dark Forest whose fur, flesh and blood could all be sold for money. Moreover, picking a wonder herb must be good luck.

Of course, because monster beasts roamed everywhere, the Dark Forest was full of danger. Many of those coming unaccompanied would organize a team with the others who were also alone before entering the Dark Forest. Once there were more people in the team, the combat capability would be strengthened greatly, so that average monster beasts dared not attack casually. In this way, they would be more likely to survive.

Lin Tian swept his eyes over the crowd, and found that there were almost middle-aged people outside the Dark Forest. They were almost at the sixth to the eighth layer of body cultivation. Lin Tian was not surprised about that. Although most people could only cultivate to the fifth layer of body cultivation without the exercise method of cultivation, it was normal that some of these middle-aged people had cultivated in the Martial Institution when they were young or had been discharged from the Imperial Army.

The most important thing was that Lin Tian didn't feel like thinking.

"According to the introduction on the paper card, the shade spectre flower should be twenty thousand feet away from the edge of the Dark Forest, where most of the monster beasts are of third-grade," Lin Tian said in mind.

Ignoring those around him, Lin Tian went into the Dark Forest alone and walked towards the front. As soon as he entered the Dark Forest, Lin Tian immediately felt this place desolate and bleak. Moreover, the spirit of monster beasts was very strong in the air of the old forest, even with some smell of blood.

Obviously, lots of people had been killed in the Dark Forest.

Lin Tian walked slowly through the old forest with Regression Origin Sword on his back. He walked steadily with great caution.

Soon, he had gone thousands of feet into the Dark Forest.

Just then, a fierce roar sounded, and a big snake covered with icicles whipped out.

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, "First-grade monster beast, Red Ice Snake."

When he was in the Formation Masters' Guild, Mi Fei gave him a scroll, in which most of the monster beasts in the Dark Forest were introduced. On the way, Lin Tian had roughly browsed it, so he knew the name of the monster beast in front of him.

He raised his right hand and slapped on it.

The Red Ice Snake was huge. But as a first-grade monster beast, it could only be comparable to a master at the third-layer of body cultivation, never could it be Lin Tian's opponent because he was already at the seventh-layer of body cultivation. It was slapped down by Lin Tian and died on the spot. Shaking his head, Lin Tian took out the beast nucleus of the Red Ice Snake. He didn't dispose of its body and strode away.

Soon after, Lin Tian had gone deep into the Dark Forest ten thousand feet away. On the way, he was attacked by several monster beasts. But of course, almost all of them were second-grade monster beasts, which were not a problem to him with such strength.

"There are still thousands of feet or so to go," Lin Tian said to himself.

At this moment, a flustered cry came out not far away. Lin Tian leaped up and landed on the thick branches of an old tree. Looking towards the place where the sound was made, he saw a ferocious monster beast about ten feet high standing in front of a huge old tree. The monster beast's tusks were three inches long. Most importantly, it had wings on its back.

"Flame-winged Tiger," Lin Tian whispered.

The Flame-winged Tiger was a primary-level third-grade monster beast which comparable to a master at the seventh layer of body cultivation.

Then, with saliva flowing from the corner of its mouth, the Flame-winged Tiger looked below, as if approaching and staring at its prey. Lin Tian lowered his head slightly and found that there was a little girl in front of the Flame-winged Tiger. The little girl was about eleven years old and was shivering against an old tree.

With a roar, the Flame-winged Tiger opened its mouth and finally jumped the little girl.

"You brute!" Lin Tian didn't have time to think about it and growled. And when the Regression Origin Sword on his back was unsheathed, a sharp sword light flew out and dashed straight into the belly of the Flame-winged Tiger.

The Flame-winged Tiger gave a scream, staggered back and fell down to the ground.

But just a moment later, the monster beast struggled to stand up again.

After all, it was a third-grade monster beast with strong vitality that was not so easy to be killed.

"Hum!"

Lin Tian dodged, and because they were not too far from each other, he almost came up to the beast in a twinkling. He brandished the long sword in his hand again. And this time, the Regression Origin Sword in his hand directly penetrated the head of the Flame-winged Tiger and ended its life on the spot.

Landing gently, Lin Tian came to the little girl.

The little girl's clothes remained in good condition, but stained with dirt. Lin Tian was curious and frowned slightly when looking at her. It was the Dark Forest. How could such a little girl appear here? Normally, even if her relatives came here to practice, it was impossible for them to bring such a small girl in together.

The little girl leaned against the old tree and looked at Lin Tian, but she looked very reserved.

"Little girl, why are you here?" After a moment of silence, Lin Tian finally started the conversation.

The little girl's black hair was smooth like a waterfall, which had grown to her waist. She looked at Lin Tian and shook her head blankly.

"Someone brought you here?" Lin Tian continued to ask.

Unfortunately, the little girl still shook her head.

After that, Lin Tian asked several questions in succession, but the little girl looked always in confusion, either shaking her head or only staring at Lin Tian, as if there were flowers on his face.

Lin Tian felt helpless, "Well... What's your name? You must remember your name."

The little girl looked at Lin Tian with her big eyes blinking. Although she was still a little confused, she seemed to think of something. She opened her mouth and made a voice after a long time, "Purple...Purple Fairy."

Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, the little girl remembered her name.

"Purple Fairy."

The name sounded pretty good.

But then Lin Tian was helpless again. Except for knowing her name, the little girl didn't know where her home was nor who her relatives were. In short, she didn't know anything else.

After thinking over a while, Lin Tian sighed, "Purple, how about following me for the time being?"

The little girl was about the same age as Lin Xi. Since they met here, he must not leave her there alone.

Such a little girl, alone in the Dark Forest, had no chance to survive at all, and might be swallowed by monster beasts at any time.

"Yeah."

The little girl nodded and looked happy somehow.

"OK, let's go."

Lin Tian took the hand of the little girl, whisked away the dust on her and walked towards the depths of the Dark Forest together.

It was dim in the Dark Forest, which was quite appropriate to the name. Soon, Lin Tian felt that there were bursts of violent energy fluctuations originating from the front. When Lin Tian looked out hundreds of feet away, he saw that a dozen of people in the distance were working together to siege a third-grade monster beast, which was covered with flame and had two heads.

"Two-headed Fiery Dragon."

Lin Tian was surprised.

Two-headed Fiery Dragon was a peak-level third-grade monster beast, comparable to a master at the ninth layer of body cultivation.

Scanning a dozen of people sieging the Two-headed Fiery Dragon, Lin Tian found that the strongest of these people was at the eighth layer of body cultivation. With such strength, it was extremely difficult for them to kill the Two-headed Fiery Dragon. Taking his eyes off them, he found an old man in green robe standing outside the battleground. The old man actually wore an emblem of formation master on his chest, and there was a gold bar on the emblem.

"Level-one formation master," Lin Tian whispered.

In the front, the Two-headed Fiery Dragon roared, with its whole body covering with dancing flames. One of the men immediately went up in flames and screamed bitterly. In a moment, that person was burned into a piece of coke.

The little girl pulled Lin Tian's clothes and seemed to be frightened.

"Don't worry," Lin Tian smiled and said.

Without paying attention to those people, Lin Tian turned round and continued to walk towards the depths of the Dark Forest.

At a guess, there were only about 5,000 feet to get to the place where the shade spectre flower grew.

"The bloke over there, come and help!" Just then, a voice sounded. It was the old man in green robe who shouted to Lin Tian.
