Chapter 2079: Dark Forest Chapter 2079: Dark Forest Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the quiet, dark forest, the sound of branches being crushed echoed slowly.
The rotten smell lingering in the air made the handsome young man frown.
“This rotten smell really disgusts me,” Braydon Neal muttered.
He didn’t like the stench.
Having reincarnated and experienced countless scents, this one stood out as particularly unpleasant.
Still, the smell didn’t bother Braydon physically—it was just distasteful.
Taking out a wet towel, he wiped his face and walked forward unhurriedly.
If one looked closely, they might notice something unusual: inconspicuous crows perched on the surrounding trees, glancing left and right.
Suddenly, a distant shout rang out.
“Quick, seal the area!
Don’t let this guy escape!” The shout was followed by waves of energy fluctuations.
Braydon paused and turned his gaze in the direction of the commotion.
With a few agile jumps, he reached a large tree nearby.
From there, he saw the scene unfold: On the flat ground below, four figures were attacking a massive creature—a dragon clad in armor.
Braydon narrowed his eyes.
It was an Iron-armored earth dragon.
Judging by its strength, it was a creature in the immortal king realm.
Clearly, it was being besieged.
His gaze shifted to the group surrounding the dragon: two men and two women.
The leader appeared to be a woman clad in armor.
“Boss, this guy is too strong.
I can’t hold on much longer!” one of them shouted.
The armored woman’s movements suddenly quickened.
Her greatsword swung more fiercely as she replied, “Wait, I’m almost done!” The iron-armored earth dragon’s impenetrable scales were its greatest defense, but the woman was relentless.
Finally, her sword pierced through, breaking the scales.
The longsword plunged into the dragon’s body.
“Roar!” The dragon’s enraged cry echoed, and the four attackers flinched.
“Not good!
It’s furious!” “How can it be this strong?
I—” Before the man could finish, the dragon’s massive tail sent him flying.
He smashed into several trees, his aura weakening significantly.
The remaining three exchanged anxious looks.
“Prepare to retreat,” the woman ordered, her voice calm despite the situation.
Just then, a shrill flute sound reverberated through the air.
The forest, previously still, was now filled with gusts of cold wind.
Crows circled above, their cries piercing the tension.
Even the furious iron-armored earth dragon shuddered in fear.
“What’s going on?” one of the group muttered.
“Night crows?
Is someone controlling them?” “I wonder which fellow cultivator you are,” the armored woman called out.
“We’re heading to the Myriad Demon Sect for the entrance examination.
I am Ivory Macadam, the direct daughter of the Macadam family.
Please reveal yourself.” The flute’s melody shifted.
The crows above swooped down, their black wings blotting out the sky.
Within moments, the Iron-armored earth dragon lay lifeless—a mutilated corpse.
Only the hardest parts of its body remained untouched, too tough to consume.
As the flute music faded, a black-robed figure emerged in the sky, standing among the crows.
“Is he the one controlling the night crows?” The three survivors looked up at Braydon, awe replacing their earlier panic.
The dragon they couldn’t defeat had been felled effortlessly.
Braydon ignored their stares and descended to the dragon’s body.
With practiced ease, he retrieved a pearl from within it—the dragon’s core.
Though he didn’t care for it himself, Lige Guay needed it.
Without a word, Braydon turned and began to leave.
“Wait!” The armored woman’s voice stopped him.
She removed her helmet, revealing a valiant face.
Braydon turned his cold gaze toward her, his hand resting on the black flute at his waist.
A chilling aura radiated from him, causing the two men behind her to step back in fear.
“I mean no harm,” she said quickly.
“I am Ivory Macadam.
We came to the Dark Forest to hunt demonic creatures and join the Myriad Demon Sect’s entrance selection.
One of our teammates died, so we’d like to invite you to join us.
“You won’t have to do much, and we’ll give you 30% of the profits.” Her companions immediately protested.
“Boss, isn’t 30% too much?” “Yeah, that’s a huge cut!” Ivory silenced them with a glare.
“I’m the leader.
If you’re unhappy, you can leave.” Reluctantly, they fell silent.
Braydon studied Ivory carefully.
Sensing no hostility, he considered her offer.
If he wanted to uncover the truth, he needed to become a core disciple of the Myriad Demon Sect.
Joining Ivory’s team might help solidify his cover.
“Fine.
But I’ll only fight opponents I can handle.
If we encounter someone too strong, I’ll leave immediately.” Ivory smiled in relief.
“Don’t worry.
Since you’re part of the team now, you’re one of us.
I’ll make sure you’re well-rewarded.” She gestured to her companions.
“They are Falcon Macall and Rae Haase.” Braydon nodded slightly, then disappeared into the shadows.
“I don’t like him,” Falcon muttered under his breath.
Rae shrugged.
“The strong have their pride.
Can you blame them?” Falcon grumbled but followed the group.
Braydon stood silently on a night crow, observing them from above.
After some time, they encountered another demonic beast: a demon-eared rabbit, slightly weaker than the iron-armored earth dragon.
“Attack it!”
