Chapter 162: Build a city in the Death Forest?
The appearance of the demon tribe undoubtedly broke the stalemate, making many people think that they also wanted to intervene in the Crescent Canyon and compete for the land here.

"Do you also want to get involved in what's going on here?"

The old undead man looked grimly as he looked at the two succubi above the canyon.

He didn't take two level four demons seriously, but he was curious about why the demons appeared here.

After all, demons are violent by nature and basically live alone, let alone living with other races.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood~"

"We are only here to make an announcement."

The two succubi had slightly raised eyebrows and exuded charm, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"We are planning to build a city in the Death Forest. We need a lot of manpower and food. If you are interested, you can come to the Death Forest to find us~"

After saying that, he flapped his wings and flew away from the canyon without any intention of staying.

Everyone in the canyon looked at each other, not understanding what they meant.

"Build a city in the Death Forest?"

"What a joke."

"The demons may be crazy."

"Is that a place where people can live?"

"They're still providing food. I think they're just trying to trick us into coming!"

The name of the Death Forest is well-known even to outsiders who have just arrived in Crescent Canyon.

What is that place?
The black soil is seriously polluted and it is a land of death filled with high-level black beasts!

If anyone with weaker strength gets close, it would be tantamount to committing suicide.

You told me you were going to build a city in it?

Lying to children!

I'm afraid these demons are so hungry that they want to use this method to trick them into eating them.

"Oh, right."

At this time, the succubus who had not yet flown far suddenly thought of something and turned back: "We just need to work and obey orders. If we come here with other little thoughts, we will die~"

The words were full of charm, but contained cold murderous intent.

After saying this, he flew outside without looking back and disappeared into the endless black soil in the blink of an eye.

The canyon was silent for a moment, then suddenly exploded with discussions filling every corner.

"What a loud tone!"

"Do they really think they can build a city on the black soil?"

"The demon tribe is really running out of steam. They've started using this kind of trick to deceive people."

"Even if you want to cheat people, go to a more credible place."

"Only a fool would be fooled!"

Building a city on black soil is easier said than done.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people fighting for the land in Crescent City.

What's more, it's the notorious Death Forest. You can tell it's impossible just by thinking with your butt. Just treat it as a joke.

however.

But some people don't think so.

For example, Brent, who was forced into a desperate situation, was looking in the direction where the succubus disappeared, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face.

"Okay, let's get on with our business."

The voice of the undead old man rang out, interrupting everyone's discussion.

For a moment, all eyes fell on Brent again, wanting to see what decision he would make.

After all, holding a piece of land on the black soil is the most likely to be coveted.

With his current strength, he would definitely not be able to keep this land today.

But once you hand over the land, it is equivalent to handing over the lifeline of yourself and your people into the hands of others. No matter what choice you make, it will be a dead end.

"Why? You don't want to hand it over?"

The old undead man's voice was hoarse, and death energy surged through his body.

He was not like Kelsu who cared about old friendships. He raised his staff and tall skeletons surrounded by death appeared beside him. The terrifying aura frightened everyone and made them retreat.

"I'm afraid it's not good for you to use force like this, right?"

The man next to him stepped forward again, interrupting the old man's action, and looked at Brent again: "You can see that if you hand over the land to us, at least you can guarantee your survival, but if you hand it over to these undead, I can't guarantee that you will not be refined into skeletons."

"Are you really going to go against me?"

The old man spoke coldly with murderous eyes.

"So what?" The man raised his lips. "Others are afraid of your Revenant Organization, but we are not. Besides, you are a newly promoted rank six, so you may not be a match for us if we really fight."

As he spoke, several of his companions around him stood up silently with a surge of energy.

The whole scene was tense and the air seemed to be frozen.

Rather than seeking Brent's consent, it was more of a struggle between two major forces.

It doesn't matter whether Brent decides or not, they are just meat on someone else's chopping board.

"I hand it over!"

Finally, a trembling voice filled with suppressed anger sounded.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Brent in great surprise.

He stared at the two fighting parties in front of him with a determined look, and said in a cold voice: "I can hand over both the land and the meteorite, but I have one condition. If you don't agree, I will tear a piece of flesh from you even if it costs me my life!"

boom!
A powerful aura burst out from him, causing both the man and the old man to stare at him.

Although they did not take Brent seriously, if a fifth-level warrior really went crazy, even they would suffer huge losses.

So after pondering for a while, they spoke one after another:
"Tell me what your conditions are." "As long as they are not excessive, I can agree to them."

Brent secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and finally stated his request.

"I can give up the land, but I want to take my people away from Crescent City, and you can't stop me!"

"You want to take them away?"

The two men frowned.

There were at least a thousand people in the entire human settlement. So many people being taken away at once was a huge loss for them.

"You don't want to take them to the Forest of Death?" The man suddenly guessed Brent's plan.

"So what?" Brent laughed.

But when other people heard his words, it caused an uproar and a lot of discussion among the crowd.

On the contrary, the tribesmen behind him seemed to completely believe in his decision, and no one stood up to oppose it.

Perhaps they all knew that staying here would lead to death, so they might as well follow the leader and fight outside. What if what those two demons said was true?
"You have to think carefully. A place like the Death Forest is not as good as the Crescent Valley. Staying here can at least guarantee you a chance to survive."

"You don't have to worry about that. You just need to answer me whether you agree or not. If you agree, I will leave without saying anything."

The old man and the man narrowed their eyes when they heard this.

Originally they wanted to refuse directly. After all, there was no population in the Crescent Canyon, so it would be useless even if they took control.

But considering that people from Liberty City will arrive slowly, and Brent and his subordinates are determined, the losses may be even greater if trouble breaks out.

Finally, they nodded in unison.

"Okay, I can promise you."

"I hope you won't regret your decision today."

Is this...agreed?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment; they had not expected such an outcome.

However, they were not optimistic about Brent's decision to take his people to the Death Forest, because it was no different from committing suicide.

Let’s not talk about whether the so-called city exists or not.

The mere fact that people could get food by working in the past made many people sneer at it or even laugh at it.

If there were such a good place on the black soil, wouldn’t they know about it?
All we can say is that Brent and his team were really forced into a desperate situation, so they had to take the risk and make such a decision.

"Come on, let's get out of here. If you don't want to leave, you can stay."

Brent ignored the strange looks around him.

After taking a deep breath and looking around the canyon where he had lived for decades, he resolutely walked out of the city.

Seeing this, the tribesmen also stood up and hurriedly followed his footsteps.

Only a few people hesitated and did not leave, perhaps because they felt that they could at least survive here, and it was just that the Crescent Canyon had a new owner.

"Master Sean, isn't this too risky?" The mages around Brent asked worriedly.

"Yeah, can there really be a city in a place like the Death Forest?"

"Could it be that those demons deceived us?"

It's no wonder they are worried. After all, others have only heard about it, but they have personally experienced the horror of that place. Even Brent, who is at level five, can't go too deep.

Not to mention the ordinary members of the tribe, their faces were full of worry at this moment, and they seemed a little confused, not knowing whether their decision was right.

"No, you are wrong. There may really be a city there." Brent's eyes were determined.

Others may not know, but he knows very well that the Death Forest is not as simple as they imagine.

Although there was a great risk involved, he would rather take the gamble, betting that what the two demons said was true and that his speculation was correct, which was better than staying in Crescent Canyon and waiting to die.

So he walked quickly and led his people through the city wall and out.

Unexpectedly.

At this time, there was already a group of people waiting outside the city wall.

It was the five-man team he had protected before, and a dozen Centaurs.

"Sir Brent, we also want to leave with you."

The first to speak was a sturdy male Centaur.

He was saved once by Brent when the black moon came, so he always remembered this kindness.

Seeing that Brent was about to leave, he resolutely followed with his family and children, and some tribesmen who had fought side by side with him, and decided to seek a new way out.

Needless to say, Marlin's team of five didn't want to stay in a place where a fight between major forces was about to take place, so they unanimously decided to leave.

"you……"

Brent opened his mouth, his eyes trembling.

After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together. There will be someone to look after us on the way."

After that, he didn't say any more nonsense.

Under the gaze of everyone on the city wall, a team of nearly nine hundred people marched into the black soil in a mighty manner, and resisted the black soil through the barrier established by the mage team and the meteorite fragments left behind.

Fortunately, Brent was careful when he left and hid all the Moon Stones.

With these Moon Goddess Stones, they are enough to lead more than 800 people to walk on the black soil.

So soon, they crossed the plains and entered the surrounding area of ​​the Death Forest.

It took another half a day to finally reach the outskirts of the Death Forest, just in time to see a group of demons walking back and forth on the edge of the forest, throwing lantern seeds to the ground.

"Hurry up, the boss said that this area must be planted with lantern trees, both red and white!"

"Do a good job for me. Once the city is built, you can live in a beautiful nest!"

With shouts, they threw the seeds on the ground, and lantern trees grew up one after another, almost forming a circle around the edge of the forest.

That weird picture.

Brent and the others were stunned.
