Escort us?
That sounds great!
"We're heading to the Chaos Forest. If you could..."
Jiang Chen hadn't even finished his sentence.
"Mortal World, sir!"
Upon hearing the words "Chaos Forest," Greenway's expression changed, and he interrupted directly, "We have some urgent matters to attend to. How about we discuss this another day?"
"Hmm?"
Goodness, changing your tune this quickly?
Jiang Chen was immediately displeased, "Weren't you the one who offered to escort us?"
"Ahem..."
Greenway coughed lightly, feeling a bit embarrassed, "The Chaos Forest is extremely dangerous. Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to go in."
"As the captain of the Light Church's judgment squad, you dare deceive a newcomer about to join the Church!"
Jiang Chen's face showed anger, then he sighed softly, "I won't say more. I just hope the God of Light above can forgive your deceit towards a fellow believer!"
As soon as he said this, not only did Greenway's face turn pale, but the three people behind him also looked shocked.
Bringing up the God of Light directly, all four members of the Church were instantly frozen.
"M-Mortal World, sir, there's no need to be so harsh..."
Greenway said with difficulty, "I'll escort you, but let my three team members return."
"No way, Captain, we're going with you!"
Stolen story; please report.
"Captain, we can't let you go alone!"
"Captain, we're the Eighth Squad, we stick together and never abandon each other!"
The three behind him shouted passionately, as if ready to face death.
"Can you be any more dramatic?"
What a bunch of clowns.
Jiang Chen was speechless and said directly, "Alright, Captain Greenway, I have a suggestion."
"What suggestion?" Greenway asked, puzzled.
"You don't need to escort us."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "You have four mounts, right? Lend me two. I'll return them when we get to the Church!"
This move, this move is called showing your hand!
Jiang Chen had been eyeing those mounts for a while. The journey to the Chaos Forest was long, taking an hour on foot.
Although the Griffin Beasts weren't the fastest, they could cut the travel time by nearly two-thirds!
Of course, he had to get them.
"You want the mounts?"
Greenway frowned slightly, hesitating, "I can't make that decision..."
"Then there's no choice but to trouble you to escort us..."
Jiang Chen hadn't finished speaking.
"No problem!"
Greenway interrupted immediately, "I'll lend you two Griffin Beasts. Just make sure to return them when you get to the Church!"
"OJBK!"
Jiang Chen made an OK gesture, feeling ecstatic inside.
"I just had to open my big mouth and offer to escort them!"
Greenway cursed himself internally as he dismounted from the Griffin Beast.
One of his teammates also dismounted.
"Here's the beast whip."
Greenway handed two beast whips to Jiang Chen.
[Beast Whip (Griffin Beast): When held, it allows you to ride and control the corresponding Griffin Beast.]
Jiang Chen looked at the two whips in his hand and smiled, "Captain Greenway, safe travels!"
Greenway and his teammate mounted the remaining two Griffin Beasts and left with a look of frustration.
"Who wants to ride... I mean, who wants to ride a Griffin Beast?"
Jiang Chen took out a beast whip and looked at Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao.
"I do!"
Qing Ying raised her hand immediately.
"Then you ride, Xiaoyao will sit behind you."
Jiang Chen handed over the beast whip and then looked at Yuna, "Yuna, you'll ride with me."
"Okay!"
Yuna nodded excitedly.
Jiang Chen walked up to the Griffin Beast.
"Snap!"
He cracked the whip on the ground, making a crisp sound.
Hearing the sound, the Griffin Beast immediately knelt down.
Jiang Chen mounted it.
Yuna climbed onto the Griffin Beast's back, full of curiosity and joy.
On the other side, Qing Ying followed suit and mounted the Griffin Beast, with Tao Xiaoyao sitting behind her.
"Hold on tight!"
Jiang Chen shouted, cracking the whip again.
Clip-clop~
The Griffin Beast, carrying two people, quickly ran forward.
"Yay!"
Yuna exclaimed happily, then quickly clung to Jiang Chen's back, holding him tightly.
In the world of the Gods, no riding skills were needed; you just had to sit on the mount.
Soon, Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao followed from behind.
Two beasts and four people quickly headed towards the Chaos Forest.
Twenty minutes later.
A vast expanse of towering trees appeared in their view.
They could even faintly hear the roars of tigers and dragons from deep within the forest.
"We've arrived at the Chaos Forest!"
Looking at the primeval forest-like scene ahead, Jiang Chen took a deep breath.
"Let's hope our luck isn't too bad!"
With that, Jiang Chen urged the Griffin Beast into the Chaos Forest!
[Warning: The area ahead is dangerous. Please proceed with caution!]
This was a warning from a higher-dimensional power!
Could his luck really be that bad?
Jiang Chen was stunned!
