Chapter 583: Chapter 351 Battle of the Source (Part 1)_2

Rod didn’t bother to correct that its name was "Spirit Boat"; he was used to it by now.

The Teleportation Gate was an ability gained after the quantification of the "Spirit Boat," and it could only be used once a month.

The last time he used it was to steal something in the Royal City.

Sure enough, after Rod mentioned the ability of the Teleportation Gate, his suggestion was unquestionably accepted.

Iron Beard informed the Tai Luo team of the original target location and the contact beacon, and gave them several Silent Blank Runes capable of masking their presence.

Rod promptly set out.

Watching his figure fly out of the city, leaving the light behind and disappearing into the Black Fog until he was no longer visible, Amendo finally withdrew his gaze.

He instinctively felt that the biggest change in a millennium was about to occur in Trolian, with recent events being unprecedented, and even the vast annals of history struggling to draw similar parallels.

This year’s anomaly where the stars remained motionless for hundreds of days was one such omen, seemingly heralding some kind of dire Evil Omen.

As past experience gradually became obsolete, Amendo felt a trace of helplessness.

The only thing that could reassure him was the emergence of new talents in recent years.

If only.

Amendo took one last look in the direction Rod was headed.

You must uphold the future of humanity.

——

——

Beneath the boundless Black Fog, a massive silhouette silently moved through, and other than the faint rustling sound, there was no other noise.

If this had been a year ago, the sight might have scared Rod to death.

But now, he just silently moved past them, hurrying forward.

The Silent Blank Rune substantially concealed his presence, preventing the nearby monsters from detecting him, while the Red Tear Stone helped him resist the erosion of the Black Fog, reducing the drain on his humanity.

Rod held the Star Disk in his hand, using it to discern his direction.

It wasn’t long before he saw the legendary Black Forest.

It was a pitch-dark territory, the entire forest looked as though it had been scorched by a great fire, enveloped in heavy Black Fog, with countless shadows hidden within, making the area seem like a horrifying Dead Land.

Rod did not hesitate; he stepped directly into the forest.

The density of the Black Fog here was extremely high, compressing his visibility to within five hundred yards.

Yet Rod’s pace did not slow down; he moved through the black trees like a Phantom.

The forest had many small Horror Demons, but Rod did not avoid them. He used the Star Dust to form a Great Sword, wildly swinging it to clear a path.

However, if he encountered a giant Horror Demon, Rod would avoid them.

These creatures were not only tough-skinned and fleshed but also yielded fewer and fewer souls, making them a pure waste of time to kill.

This was one of the reasons why Rod was so adamant about requesting support for teams in the Black Forest.

At least there were souls here.

The complex terrain of the forest didn’t affect Rod, and the numerous small Horror Demons couldn’t slow him down either.

Rod’s Spiritual Energy had now surpassed 600 thousand ticks, condensing into a dazzling light on the Great Sword of Star Dust, breaking through the Horror Demons’ Spiritual Defense of less than 100 thousand ticks as easily as slicing through vegetables.

In just a moment, Rod had already reached the prearranged location.

This was the point of dense Black Fog accumulation discovered by the Observer team.

According to their original calculations, destroying this point could disrupt the formation of Horror Demons, thereby helping to alleviate the pressure on Storm Castle.

But the reality showed that Horror Demons were not creatures that relied on the natural environment of the Black Forest for their formation.

Ordinarily, Dark Souls would first emerge in the Black Fog, which would then further condense into the actual bodies of the monsters.

The strength of their bodies depended entirely on the Soul Strength.

The fact that giant Horror Demons displayed decreasing Soul Strength indicated that their bodies were created by an unknown entity. After their creation, the Black Fog then birthed Dark Souls within the bodies of the giant Horror Demons.

As time progressed, the souls gradually grew.

The appearance of numerous underdeveloped souls among the attacking giant Horror Demons also showed that this peculiar siege was not a normal occurrence.

Rod harbored some doubts in his heart, as this was not the first time something so unreasonable had happened.

But he was not entirely certain, and his primary focus now was still to resolve the crisis and incidentally reap some souls.

The predetermined location was devoid of people, but there was massive destruction, with trees felled all over the place and a large pit in the center, evidence that they had already been there.

Rod took out the beacon, input Spiritual Energy, and a Light Bomb soared into the sky with a long tail, exploding into a pattern flashing red.

This special kind of light, capable of penetrating the Black Fog, was often used for battlefield communication, with both flare and beacon being such devices.

Rod waited patiently for a moment.

Indeed, a white light flashed in the distance above.

Having crammed battlefield knowledge recently, Rod was no longer clueless. He decoded from the pattern of the white light that Tai Luo’s team had received the instructions and were now searching for the source of the disaster. They were in a location not suitable to stay put and could meet up further ahead.

There were also a few separate pieces of information.

One, they hadn’t encountered any monsters above Strong Level.

Two, they had found some clues about the source and were tracing it.

Three, the team was in good state.

With determination in his heart, Rod accelerated towards the direction they indicated.

Throughout his journey, he was like a Heavenly God descending to the mortal realm, slaying the Horror Demons in the forest left and right. His glowing Great Sword of Star Dust tore through the darkness, bringing long-lost Bright Light to this forest perpetually covered in Black Fog.
