Chapter 196: Into the Forbidden Spirit Beast Forest

Only those who had formed a contract with it could understand its language.

Bai He glanced at Ma Hongjun. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and put it away."

Ma Hongjun immediately took out a crystal orb and stored the Long Eared Bunny inside.

This item was something everyone would obtain after coming here.

It was a special crystal orb that was used to contain spirit beasts.

Once a spirit beast was stored inside, if a contract was successfully formed, then the spirit beast would belong to you.

If it failed, the spirit beast would be sent back here again.

The Long Eared Bunny was placed into the crystal orb.

Ma Hongjun’s face was full of joy, wearing an extremely proud expression.

"Tsk tsk, I finally managed to catch it."

"I think its temper is not very good. You should be careful."

"Relax. With my intelligence and talent, how could I fail to tame it? Brother Ye, I can tell at a glance that you are not an ordinary person! Later, your brother here will take you to a good place. However, that spirit beast there is truly not very obedient, so you should be careful yourself."

Bai He was already filled with anticipation.

Was it finally coming?

Ye Shiyuan’s spirit beast, how cool would it be?

"Then hurry up and take us there."

"Let’s go."

Ma Hongjun led Bai He and Ye Shiyuan to a strange group of trees.

"Passing through here will take us to that spirit beast’s territory. This place is a forbidden zone. No one is allowed to enter. Even if you do enter and lose your life, you cannot blame anyone else. Inside here is an extremely ferocious spirit beast. I once got curious and went to take a look. I only saw it once before I immediately ran out."

Ma Hongjun had been here for nearly two years and had seen many people come and go.

Geniuses, experts, all kinds of people existed.

There were also those who refused to believe the warnings and forcefully entered the forbidden zone, but none of them ever came out.

"Master, should you wait outside instead?"

Bai He shook his head. "I already said I am going with you."

Clip, clop.

From not far away, the sound of horse hooves rang out.

A horse was rushing quickly toward their direction.

When they looked closely, it was none other than Ning Rongrong.

When her horse reached them, it came to a stop.

She dismounted very neatly, her expression solemn.

"What are you doing here?"

"Miss Ning, what we are doing here, is that something you can interfere with?"

Ning Rongrong actually looked down on Ma Hongjun and did not treat him kindly.

Her gaze was mostly fixed on Ye Shiyuan.

"This place is very dangerous. Even if you do not want to lose, you should not joke with your own life. Losing to me is not something embarrassing."

Ning Rongrong had already obtained her own spirit beast.

If she wanted to surpass him, there was only the spirit beast inside this place.

She thought Ye Shiyuan wanted that spirit beast because of their bet.

"This was the bet she made with me. I will not lose."

"You... I was kindly advising you, and you do not appreciate it. Fine, then go and die."

After saying that, Ning Rongrong immediately rode away at full speed.

At this moment, she probably still did not like Ye Shiyuan yet.

Yes, it was still too early.

In the original story, the two of them met here and spent two years together.

During those two years, Ye Shiyuan had treated her as a man, so there was no such emotional entanglement.

Now, everything had not even begun, and Bai He had already stopped it directly.

What a sin, what a sin.

"Host, theoretically speaking, you actually did something good. After all, Ye Shiyuan would never fall in love for Ning Rongrong anyway. If anything, waiting until Ning Rongrong truly fall in love for Ye Shiyuan and then gets brutally rejected would be far more heartbreaking."

Hearing Mo Zhu say that, Bai He no longer felt so guilty.

The three of them then continued to walk into the depths of the dense forest.

Even if Ye Shiyuan was unwilling to bring Bai He along, it was useless.

After all, anything Bai He wanted to do, he could hardly stop.

This dense forest was extremely quiet.

Not a single sound could be heard.

"There is only one spirit beast here. Other spirit beasts do not dare to enter. This is its territory. Now that we have come here, it is equivalent to trespassing into its domain. However, it has not discovered us yet. Once it does, we will be in big trouble."

In truth, Ma Hongjun was not very familiar with this place either.

He was familiar with the entire Spirit Pagoda, except for here.

After all, others did not know it, and he had only been here once.

"The last time I encountered it, it was up ahead. I do not know if we will run into it in the same place this time. You must be careful."

As soon as Ma Hongjun finished speaking, a terrifying roar suddenly echoed out.

The sound carried layers of scorching heatwaves that directly rushed toward them.

Ye Shiyuan immediately pulled Bai He into his arms, shielding him completely, so they did not suffer any harm.

On the other hand, Ma Hongjun... his face was burned bright red by the heat.

He looked extremely uncomfortable.

"I go, it really was still here."

"Master, I will go take a look. You and Ma Hongjun stay here first. I will be back soon."

After saying that, Ye Shiyuan directly drew his sword and walked forward.

Bai He did not stop him.

Instead, Ma Hongjun looked a bit worried.

"Hey, little boy, you are not worried about your disciple at all?"

"What are you afraid of? He is the master of the Dawnmaker Divine Sword. How could he not be able to deal with a fire type spirit beast?"
