LUO YAN stared at the lush forest in front of him. They were still a few distance away but he could already feel an ominous atmosphere coming out of the forest. It's like it's saying; 'beware, this place is full of danger'.
It's not only the atmosphere. Despite the bright sunlight shining down, the inside of the forest that his eyes could see didn't have any shred of light. As if light couldn't enter the whole forest.
Was that the reason why it was called the Forest of Darkness?
[Mashter, are we going in there?] – Eclipse asked.
[Yes, that's our destination.]
The little fox suddenly buried his face on his neck. [It looks creepy.]
[What, is Eclipse scared?] – Luo Yan teased.
Eclipse quickly raised his head and showed a brave expression. [Of course not! How could Eclipse be scared? Don't worry, Mashter. If you're scared, Eclipse will protect you.]
[Then I'd rely on you.] – Luo Yan said, not piercing the other's courageous pretense.
He then looked from left to right. Just with that one glance, he could see how big the area of the forest was. The worry he had come up again.
"It seems it would take quite a long while before we could find that Lhoris," he couldn't help but comment.
"That might not be the case."
Luo Yan turned towards Shen Ji Yun when he heard that. "What does Brother Ji Yun mean?"
As an answer, Shen Ji Yun took out a compass from his Items Tab. It looked like an ordinary silver compass. Except that there's a transparent gem on top of it.
"This is an item that could help locate the position of an NPC based on their race," he explained.
Luo Yan's eyes widened a bit after hearing that. "Really? There's such a convenient item?"
Shen Ji Yun nodded. "But for it to work, a drop of blood from the same race should be smeared on this gem. It just so happened that you are of the same race as Lhoris. So, we shouldn't have any problems making this compass work."
"Then, let me drop a blood on that gem," Luo Yan said, stretching his hand out towards Shen Ji Yun.
The other didn't hesitate to put the compass on Luo Yan's hand.
Holding the compass, Luo Yan bit his forefinger. Not too strong, just enough for him to drop a bit on the gem. When his blood, well, it's probably more accurate to call it his virtual blood, dropped on the gem, it suddenly shone red. The shining red light soon subsided. As it did, the transparent gem was now transformed into a red gem.
Then that red color slowly receded until the gem was back into its transparent color once again. As if the compass absorbed it. And maybe that was indeed the case.
The compass' magnetic needle suddenly turned around faster and faster. Then its speed slowly decreased. When it finally stopped, the magnetic needle ending up pointing at the northwestern part of the forest.
"I guess that's where Lhoris is," he commented. He turned to Shen Ji Yun. "Where did you find this thing, Brother Ji Yun?"
Shen Ji Yun glanced sideways and avoided Luo Yan's gaze. "I accidentally saw it when I was buying items last week. Who knew it would come in handy right now?"
Luo Yan raised his brow at Shen Ji Yun's answer.
[Mashter, why does Eclipse feel like Captain is lying?] – the little fox on his shoulder asked. His furry head was tilted to the side while staring at Shen Ji Yun, as if truly confused.
Exactly. Knowing this guy, he probably most likely bought it after he mentioned last night how hard it would be to look for Lhoris. So, in the short period between then and now, Shen Ji Yun had found an item that could lessen the difficulty of searching for Lhoris by leaps and bounds.
"Wow. How convenient," he said, trying to sound surprise. "What would happen, by the way, if there were another moon elf inside the forest aside from Lhoris?" he just thought of asking.
"Then, the magnetic needle would never stop turning around."
Luo Yan nodded and gazed down again at the compass. He guessed that made sense. So, this thing could only work properly if one were searching for only a single NPC. In their situation, that's more than enough.
"Here, Brother Ji Yun. You lead the way," he said, giving the compass back to Shen Ji Yun.
Shen Ji Yun accepted the compass. "Yan Yan, before we enter the forest, please be prepared to fight. The monsters will attack any players that enter the forest. It doesn't matter whether your level is higher, once you walked into the Forest of Darkness, you will surely be attacked. Items that would prevent monsters with a lower level to attack will also not work. So, the only way is to fight back."
Hearing that, Luo Yan finally understood why Shen Ji Yun had said last night that this was a good place to grind. A place filled with monsters that didn't discriminate against levels and wasn't picky when it came to their enemies was surely an ideal place to grind levels.
Luo Yan grinned. "Good. I certainly won't have it any other way."
He took out his twin daggers from their sheaths and twirled both around. He hadn't tested his new weapon since he got it yesterday. This was certainly the perfect place to do just that.
Shen Ji Yun was slightly stunned at that almost bloodthirsty smile. And then, a small smile also crossed his lips. What a violent rabbit.
[Mashter, Eclipse will also fight! Mashter just have to sit back and relax while Eclipse is fighting. Eclipse will show you just how strong he's gotten!] – the little fox said excitedly.
Luo Yan chuckled when he heard that. This little guy, it's like he had already forgotten that he'd rather buried his face on his neck that looked at the forest. But he didn't pierce through the little fox and just rubbed the other's head.
[Then, I'll be right behind you.]
Eclipse patted his own little chest and said enthusiastically, [Leave it to me, Mashter!]
Then they closed the distance between them and the forest.
