Chapter 120: The Blood Valley (a)

By the time they got here, the moon has graced the skies with its presence. It was already night.

The valley of the blood trees existed between two green mountains. The valley was sheathed in the shadows of the towering green and ash-like trees. The canopies of the trees didn't give an inch and blocked the moonlight; However, a few rays of moonlight still managed to sneak their way through the dense canopies and slightly illuminated the ground, but that made it all the eerier.

"This place feels eerie,"

"The trees are feeling gloomy and they don't want to communicate with me. Something is really wrong with this place."

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Fatty Liam pulled out a torchlight and turned it on. He flashed the light on his face to add a layer of creepiness. Then, he said,

"From the information I purchased, I learned that a few adventurers had encountered ghosts at this Valley. The souls of the unfortunate roam this valley. It's said to be because they died pierced by the roots of the blood trees that sucked them dry of all bodily fluids, causing them to be unable to move on to the afterlife as their death was too bloody, and they weren't able to rest even after death, as the blood trees used their flesh and bones for its nutrients! Anyway, we won't encounter any ghosts as they will run away at the mere sight of Vin.

Gulp!

Poor girls. This was the first time they came out to hunt and experience the pleasure of adventure, but now they were roaming a gloomy place that seemed to come right out of a horror movie. Moreover, it felt like something scary was gonna happen. Meanwhile, Little Ball was having the time of his life, this was the adventure he has always dreamed of.

"Don't jinx us."

"Don't scare us!"

"Yeah, there is nothing like ghosts!"

"We are not afraid!"

Did anyone ask whether you both are afraid or not?

"All right, little ball, stop scaring them," Marvin said.

"Okay, okay, but what I said is real, a lot of adventures died at this place and their corpses are buried beneath the soil."

Bai Yue and Leilani confidently said, but in truth, they were scared out of their wits at the mere mention of ghosts at this gloomy valley and they couldn't help but depend on their man. Thus, the two beauties came extremely close to Marvin and wrapped their hands on each of his arms, sticking to him like a bear child.

Seeing that they were afraid at the mere mention of ghosts, Marvin internally facepalmed. But he couldn't help but slightly chuckle when Fatty Liam flashed a smile as if saying, 'Am I not a good brother?'

He was a good brother!

Marvin's arms were being pillowed between the soft melons of two beauties that can cause the downfalls of Kingdoms. He could feel their skin through the clothes. Leilani's breasts felt warmer than Bai Yue, but Bai Yue's breasts were softer, and they both carried an irresistible charm that watered Marvin's mouth.

This was hard to endure!

"There, there, I am here, and I won't let anything hurt either of you." Marvin comforted the scaredy-cats that like to put on brave fronts while looking around.

Due to the natural environment, the valley held a dismal, dark appearance. Apart from that, it seemed no different than any other valley. It contained a river that ran from one end to the innermost area of the Blood Field Wilderness, and there was an outreaching glade alongside either mountain.

"How are we gonna differentiated between the normal trees and the blood trees?" Marvin asked while looking at the trees.

They stood at the entrance of the valley trying to understand the danger that lies ahead.

"Blood Trees have blood veins in their roots. And their roots are sharp like a javelin. But in this situation, even I don't know." Fatty Liam said,

They were here to hunt Blood Trees. This place was the most famous ground to hunt blood trees in the outskirts of the Blood Fiend Wilderness, after all, but he couldn't differentiate between the blood trees and the normal ones. It's because the roots of every tree were drilled into the ground.

Thus, the only defining trait of the blood tree was hiding in the ground!

They looked towards Leilani who can communicate with nature.

"Is there a way?"

"As I said before, the trees aren't willing to communicate."

Leilani was of no help in this situation, and Bai Yue could only cheer her up.

Fatty Liam shook his head, and said, "The information I purchased using the virtual link is pretty useless here. Though there's always a solution to every problem. The blood trees attack when a person is standing extremely close to them, or if they are threatened. We can start by chopping one tree after another."

"That will take a lot of time and make a lot of noise. We will be inviting unnecessary trouble. Is there some other way?" Marvin asked.

"Well, the blood trees are cowardly by nature, and they won't attack a four-man group. We can only split up into two parties and entice them into attacking us. But that will be too dangerous." Fatty Liam said.

"Why?"

"They produce a strong variant of nitrogen oxide. An odorless and colorless hallucinating gas that can even cause us, ability users, to experience illusions if we inhale a large amount of it." Fatty Liam answered. "The illusions are said to be so strong that one can't differentiate between what's real and what's false. So, wear this filtering mask, and although they won't entirely protect us, it will prolong our defense against the hidden killer."

The hallucinating gas could enter from other holes, after all. They wore the mask that Fatty Liam gave them.

"Besides, we don't want to split up with you!"

Leilani and Bai Yue said. They were unwilling to even move three meters away from him.
