The three horned horses moved forward steadily in front of the carriage. In order to guarantee speed, Roth had specially bought two horned horses for riding.

After formally entering the Forest of Neversetting Sun, Aofeng and the others got off the carriage. Mistress Su Ya and Liao Ya stayed inside the carriage to rest. Mo Ling and the other three youths looked around the forest interestedly at the rich flora, the moonlight falling through the leaves like stars, and the flickering lights of fireflies.

"Whoa! Big Brother Zhui Yun, look, so beautiful!" Mo Ling pointed at a nearby swarm of fireflies and called out joyfully.

Aofeng look in that direction and narrowed her eyes slightly. She warned, "There are far more beautiful things in the forest than this, the color of nature will occasionally enchant you. Sometimes, the more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is, it is better to be careful."

Mo Zhu saw Aofeng give a meaningful smile and thought that she liked things like this. He hurriedly asked, "Zhui Yun, you like these? Don't be afraid, how about I catch a few for you?"

Yu Fan was already glaring disdainfully at Aofeng as Mo Zhu spoke. Yu Fan walked forward to capture them as he sneered. "A coward is a coward, you don't even dare to catch some fireflies. I think you should go back when its early! Mo Ling, you like these, I will catch them for you!"

"Really? Then I will wish our great Young Master Yu of the Snowstorm Mercenary Company to come back successfully ... ..." Aofeng pulled Mo Zhu's warm hand. She raised an eyebrow and looked on as Yu Fan walked without any caution towards the ball of light.

Roth saw this and shook his head helplessly from the side. Seventh Young Master, can you not just watch as the world turns to chaos. Pitiful Yu Fan, just a few words and you are "motivated" by this devious person into a trap. This person kills without blood! This Seventh Young Master really had comprehended the highest state of being shameless and devious!

But Roth did not expose Aofeng. He didn't like young people like Yu Fan whose eyes were on top of their head. It would be good to give Yu Fan a lesson and have other people become mentally prepared.

Yu Fan was satisfied that he had gotten there first. This time, he would obtain Mo Ling's affections. He reached out to seize the fireflies. However, he suddenly felt the black area in front of him wasn't quite right.

Dark! Extreme darkness so that not even one thread of moonlight reflected off.

The surrounding vines shuddered lightly, and a large and cold thorn-filled mouth suddenly opened from the darkness.

"Ah!" Yu Fan jumped in fright at the enormous mouth that abruptly appeared and gave a high scream. He tried to crawl out of the bush in a panic but he tripped and fell down with a "thump." Vines had wrapped around his feet at some unknown time like metal chains. A great force came from above, and Yu Fan was pulled towards that enormous mouth.

Three exclamations of surprise sounded. The young people didn't react in time, freezing there and not knowing what to do. Yu Fan looked at the great mouth growing closer and almost peed his pants.

At this moment, a long broadsword pierced the enormous mouth behind him with a "pew!" Dark green fluid spilled from that strangely shaped vine, and the vine quickly withered.

Of course Aofeng was not so goodhearted to save Yu Fan. Roth finally acted at the last moment.

"Uncle Roth, it's so fortunate you are here." Mo Ling patted his chest and sighed with lingering fear. "What is that? So scary?"
