The carriage sped along the road, and it took less than ten minutes for Yi Tianchen and the others to reach the outskirts of the Black Magic Forest.
As they looked around, a heavy atmosphere enveloped the entire Black Magic Forest. The trees and plants here were quite peculiar; the trees were low and their branches sprawled in all directions, appearing menacing. The flowers and grass on the ground were not the usual vibrant colors but rather a deep black.
"Let's go, time is tight, we need to hurry," Yi Tianchen said.
Frowning slightly, Yi Tianchen stepped forward, being the first to enter the Black Magic Forest. As he stepped in, he felt as if he had stepped on a dry branch, which made a faint cracking sound while a layer of light black powder dispersed gently, causing the grass to crumble beneath his feet.
After walking a hundred meters, they spotted several players ahead, almost all of them mages. Yi Tianchen counted roughly forty Seven People, their wands waving about, casting long and obscure Magic Spells, with visible Magic Sprites swirling around them, creating an unusual scene.
"Hey, you there... are you new?" a Mage Player shouted from a distance. He quickly approached and scrutinized Liu Yuhan and the others before chuckling, "Friends, who doesn't know that this Black Magic Forest is a paradise for mages? Your team..."
"We're not here to level up," Yi Tianchen replied with a wry smile.
"I guessed as much..." The mage chuckled again, stroking his chin. "You're here for a mercenary mission, right? But your timing isn't great; the BOSS Dark Magic Tree Demon King was just killed by us less than half an hour ago. That thing only respawns once an hour..."
"What did you say?" Yi Tianchen was taken aback, unable to believe it.
The mage laughed heartily, looking as if he knew everything. "What you might not know is that the mercenary missions from Southern Wilderness City are all about killing tree demon kings in this Black Magic Forest. The difference lies in what items are needed—some want roots, some want hearts, and others want scrolls or tokens..."
"Alright... let's get to the point!" Yi Tianchen interrupted the mage, sensing there was more to his endless chatter.
The mage paused for a moment before smiling. "You're straightforward! To be honest, we're here just to kill the Dark Magic Tree Demon King. If you're willing to make an offer, we can guarantee you'll get what you want without any risk. How does that sound?"
"And if we refuse?" Li Tielong stepped forward, his posture imposing.
The mage smirked coldly, showing no fear. "If that's the case, then I'm afraid it won't be pleasant for you. If we can't make a deal here, we won't let those who refuse us have it easy..."
"Is this a threat?" Yi Tianchen laughed lightly, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
The mage scoffed dismissively; a hint of malice flickered in his gaze as he waved his wand. Instantly, seven or eight Mage Players surrounded them. He then said coldly, "If that's how you want to see it, there's nothing we can do about it. Just give us a clear answer!"
"No need," Yi Tianchen replied with a slight smile, each word resonating firmly. He turned back to Liu Yuhan and the others and directly ignored the group of mages as they proceeded deeper into the Black Magic Forest. Behind them came sounds of gritted teeth and suppressed anger.
Walking straight for a moment, Yi Tianchen and his group of ten had covered about a hundred meters when Liu Yuhan, with a hint of concern, said, "Since these people have already occupied this place, they must have some strength. It seems they will be a tricky opponent; we need to be careful."
Li Tielong nodded and angrily remarked, "I really want to teach them a lesson. How is this any different from highway robbery?"
"At least they are being open about it!"
Yi Tianchen smiled, glancing back at the group of mages watching them from a distance, and continued, "Let's not worry about them. We should focus on killing the small monsters first. Once the BOSS spawns..."
"When the BOSS spawns, I'll take care of them." The Terminator of Regrets chuckled, fiddling with a dagger that shimmered coldly in his hand while stroking his chin. His gaze was no longer cold but filled with fervor.
Yi Tianchen nodded, expressing his concern, "This group of mages is indeed quite unfortunate to run into you!"
The others were taken aback and then understood that Yi Tianchen's worry was not for The Terminator of Regrets but for that group of Mage Players. They couldn't help but look at The Terminator of Regrets, making him feel awkward. He bitterly said, "Come on, can you stop looking at me like that? It's as if I'm some notorious executioner."
"Haha... what's wrong with being an executioner? That's also a form of glory!" Not a Master laughed heartily, putting an arm around The Terminator of Regrets as he spoke confidently. "Remember when you single-handedly broke through the layers of the Owl Dragon's encirclement three times? You not only stole their BOSS but also escaped safely. How impressive was that? How domineering?"
The Terminator of Regrets suddenly froze. "Did that really happen? How come I don't know about it?"
Not a Master burst into laughter. "Of course you wouldn't know; I just made it up!" With that, he loosened his grip and quickly ran away.
The Terminator of Regrets was left in tears, shouting "Damn it!" as he hurried after him.
Seeing this, Yi Tianchen and the others shook their heads in unison, collectively expressing their utter speechlessness before moving forward. Yi Tianchen and Li Tielong took on the role of tanks and officially began their slaughter of the small monsters.

Southern Wilderness City, System Tavern.
As a way for game companies to extract residual value from players, virtual consumables like taverns have always held an irreplaceable position. This is true in reality as well as in games because various virtual foods still allow players to experience sensations akin to real life.
With a loud crash, a wine glass was crushed in Zeng Jian's hand. He suddenly stood up, excitement flashing in his previously calm eyes as he looked at an Assassin Player before him and asked, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
"President, there's absolutely no mistake. Liu Yuhan and Yi Tianchen's group of ten entered the Mercenary Association and then took a carriage out through the East City Gate. Friends over at Black Magic Forest also reported that a ten-person team arrived not long ago; it should be them," the assassin replied.
"It seems they have begun the construction of the Guild."
The speaker was King's Eternal, the chief assassin of King's Studio. After the battle at Snake Den, King's Eternal's hatred for Yi Tianchen had not diminished in the slightest. However, since then, it had been difficult to ascertain Yi Tianchen's exact whereabouts, and this had dragged on until today.
"Very good!"
Zeng Jian sat back down and instructed, "Tell our friends over there to spare no effort in stopping them from completing their mission. If they succeed, their commission will be doubled afterward." After a pause, he seemed to mutter to himself, "Liu Group? Hmph... One day, it will be in my Zeng Jian's pocket."
King's Eternal tightened his grip on the dagger and said with concern, "President, we have seen Yi Tianchen's methods. Do you think... we should send another squad over to ensure everything goes smoothly?"
Zeng Jian was taken aback, a flicker of struggle crossing his eyes before he nodded.
