The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 78 — Annual Match of Mofa Forest (1)

Lian Haocun did not respond to Chao Bence's words and instead asked, “Where are ‘they’ located?”

Chao Bence replied in a plain tone, “I don't know.”

Lian Haocun frowned at Chao Bence's words and said with great emphasis, “Don't play around.”

Chao Bence chuckled and said in a playful tone, “Alright...All right, let's wait for the two boys here.”

Then Chao Bence started playing around with Cheng to pass the time. While Lian Haocun only looked at the sight of the Mofa Forest expressionlessly while pondering in his mind.

‘How can they just disappear? Unbeknownst to me?’ Inner Lian Haocun, considering the time of the incident their group was forced to split into two.

Suddenly Lian Haocun felt a crisis hit his mind, ‘If I cannot protect him.., am I not a very bad Brother?’

Anger also surfaced in Lian Haocun's heart, but it was not directed at others, the anger was shown to himself.

While Chao Bence who did not realize that Lian Haocun felt helpless, just playing around with Cheng, with a facial expression that looked very happy and pleasant. It was a complete contrast to what Lian Haocun was feeling in his heart.

While Lian Haocun was focusing with his thoughts, Long Yuan and Lian Huanran who had Bai in his carriage appeared suddenly, out of nowhere. Then Lian Huanran and Long Yuan greeted Chao Bence and Lian Haocun.

Looking at Lian Huanran and Long Yuan, Lian Haocun put away her anger and immediately asked, “What happened to you guys?”

Lian Huanran explained in a cheerful and excited tone,

“Tadi Mofa Forest suddenly shrouded in thick fog, when we realized that Brother and Chao Bence disappeared somewhere. We were silent in the same place and did not explore the fog forest at all, constantly suddenly there was an old geezer coming towards us! Of course we felt strange, but it turned out that old geezer was a very good person! We talk about many things!”

Lian Haocun asked, “Speaking? Not asked?”

Lian Huanran nodded and said, “We were not asked anything.”

Long Yuan next to Lian Huanran also nodded in agreement to Lian Huanran's words.

Lian Huanran, “Tuh, Yuan can also testify.”

Lian Haocun, “What's the name of the place we do closed training?”

Lian Huanran looks a bit confused asked like that, “Hah..., Big brother why suddenly ask like this?”

Lian Huanran wanted to say another sentence, but the sharp gaze from Lian Haocun made her undo the intention, so she simply replied, “Beredo Valley.”.

Lian Haocun muttered, “It turns out to be true the original.”

Lian Huanran and Long Yuan who can hear Lian Haocun mutter, “...” Sure, we're the real ones. Otherwise who could be so similar to us!?

Before Lian Huanran could voice any grievances in his mind, Chao Bence lowered Cheng in his arms and said, “Better you guys don't linger, ‘they’ is already waiting for us.”

Then suddenly appeared the figure of a small squirrel in front of three people and three magical beasts. The small squirrel is light brown punctuated by dark brown.

The little squirrel that stood facing three people and three magical beasts, looked extremely cute and cute. Makes Lian Huanran want to stroke and rub her cheeks into a small squirrel that looks very soft hairy.

While Cheng started running towards the little squirrel, and at that moment the little squirrel started running using his four little legs in a direction. Lian Huanran who was afraid that Cheng would disappear, immediately followed Cheng with Bai who was still beside him. So did Long Yuan who did not want to be left behind.

Chao Bence said in a relaxed tone, “Let's follow the squirrel.”

After saying that, Chao Bence also followed Lian Huanran, Long Yuan, Bai and Cheng to follow the squirrel.

Lian Haocun, “..”

Lian Haocun paused for a moment before following the five of them, following the squirrel, at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.

‘Obviously they were led by that squirrel, do they not know what it is to be alert for?’ Inner Lian Haocun with complicated feelings, yet he still followed them from behind.

The place where the squirrel led Lian Haocun and his group was a rather large circular place. Within the circle, there is no tree at all. The edge of the circular place was surrounded by trees.

There was a small mouse that was somehow larger than the mouse that it should have been. The orange-colored mice are somewhat transparent. He stood on a stage that looked carelessly made, so that he became the most striking and attention-grabbing.

Not only mice, the place also had a crowd of magical beasts that were both ferocious and terrifying in appearance. Their eyes looked at Lian Huanran who had already managed to catch and hold the running Cheng, with looks of disdain, hatred and anger.

Lian Huanran was puzzled at the many unfriendly gazes from the magical beasts addressed to them. So that Lian Huanran did not know what to react and just silently stared at where he stood.

The atmosphere was filled with tension, as if a battle could break out at any moment. But unexpectedly, the mouse standing on stage said something in the tone of ‘friendly’ while narrowing his eyes, “Kalian... Be calm... Be calm... They are our guests.”

The sensitive Lian Haocun, instantly learned that the rats also disliked them, who were the ones who came to the Mofa Forest.

'He can talk... At least he's level 6, which is also equivalent to my current level, the Golden Core Formation stage.' Inner Lian Haocun analyzed the cultivation level of the rats.

But Lian Haocun did not care much about it and said, “I have something to talk about with your leader.”

Immediately the attention of the rat addressed to the crowding magical beasts, turned to Lian Haocun. His eyes were still narrowed and he was still smiling ‘friendly’, but Lian Haocun felt that the rat narrowed his eyes only to hide the negative emotions in his eyes.

Lian Huanran felt a bit panicked and anxious to see Lian Haocun directly expressing their purpose. Long Yuan was not so panicked and used his brain to think and predict what difficulties they would have to go through to meet the leader of the magical beasts in the Mofa Forest.

While Chao Bence just draped his hand on his chest while leaning on the tree and taking a stance as a spectator. Like he wasn't one of Lian Haocun's group.

The mouse said, “Bby... But that is if you can win a match that we usually hold once a year, and by any chance, you also come when this match will be held this year. It really is a beautiful coincidence.”

Lian Huanran and Long Yuan, “ We think you purposely moved the game time forward to get us to participate...

Lian Haocun asked, “What match is this?”

The smiling mouse ‘friendly’ who gave a cold aura and replied, “You will know it later, and oh yes.., your three magical beasts are not allowed to participate.” While pointing at Chao Bence, Bai and Cheng.

Lian Haocun frowned, the risk was too high and the danger was unknown.

'Any...., why didn't Big Brother agree to it right away? Though usually Brother will immediately agree.' Inner Lian Huanran saw a frown on Lian Haocun's forehead.

'Is he worried about me and Yuan?' Lian Huanran asked in her mind.

While Lian Haocun decided to make the mice provide some additional information to analyze the level of risk and danger of this match, he said,

“This match has how many rounds?”

Mouse, “Three innings.”

Lian Haocun, “Do we have to fight?”

Rat, “The three of you can find out later. So..., do you want to participate?”

“If not..., you can go from this forest.” Continue the stressed rat in the last sentence.

Unexpectedly, Lian Huanran who had been silent earlier, raised his hand and immediately replied, “We will participate!”

‘Toh, however this is one of the roads that must be passed so that we can get a hint regarding Guru.’ Inner Lian Huanran, who was making her fear and anxiety at the impending danger, turned into determination.

Lian Haocun who heard Lian Huanran's decision, sighed inwardly. It was a rash decision, but Lian Haocun also knew, maybe he would also choose the same thing in the end plus the rat did not seem to be the one who was willing to negotiate and provide additional information.

While Lian Huanran was approaching Long Yuan and whispering some apologies to Long Yuan, however Long Yuan should not be involved with this, yet unexpectedly he just smiled faintly and said, “No problem right? We are friends! And again this looks like it would be fun.”

The rat smiled broadly at Lian Huanran's reply and said, “Then, let's start the first round!”
