Chapter 1580: Chapter 307: Endless Forest Sea

It is unknown when it began, nor from where it spread, just that one day, a rumor suddenly circulated across the mainland.

Legend has it that the world of is not just a single mainland—far across the distant ocean lies another land inhabited by humans, and on that land exist as well.

However, for some unknown reason, the on the main mainland are unable to communicate with those on the other land… Only when the exploration level of the main mainland reaches a certain degree will a path connecting the two lands appear.

And there’s another legend.

Legend has it that the born on the mainland across the ocean come from another world…

…

…

The Divine Land Battle Group, ranked third among the top ten battle groups of the Human Alliance, is also one of the main forces in frontline exploration. This battle group even includes many renowned strong individuals from the Human Alliance… Additionally, the Divine Land Battle Group has highly professional command talents, rumored to have been top students at a real-world military academy before their rebirth.

“It’s too much! Those two frequently go missing as usual, but now the Divine Land Battle Group is following suit as well…”

On the frontline, at the Human Alliance base, in the military conference room, most of the battle group leaders involved in the frontline exploration are already present… But still, there are two vacant seats.

One of them belongs to the Divine Land Battle Group.

“I asked around, and it seems the Divine Land Battle Group said they have some matters today and won’t participate in today’s exploration activities, nor will they take any exploration gains today,” a battle group leader stood up and said.

“What matters are so urgent?” a battle group leader immediately frowned and said, “We discovered a hidden room yesterday, and it might contain the boss of this floor! We clearly agreed yesterday to launch an initial attack today… Isn’t the Divine Land Battle Group breaking yesterday’s agreement by doing so?”

“They’re just pausing for a day; it’s not a very urgent matter. Besides, the entire exploration allied forces have been engaged in continuous high-intensity operations, and they should have some rest time too. Since those two and the Divine Land Battle Group are absent today, I propose we postpone today’s exploration action and let our brothers rest for a day. Those in favor, raise your hands.”

After a moment, the majority agreed, following the principle of minority yielding to majority, and thus today’s combat meeting was canceled… The group leaders began to leave one after another.

However, in the end, there were still three battle group leaders who had not left.

They came from different states of the Human Alliance—when the Human Alliance defeated the demon king Roger’s , the was established.

But shortly after the foundation of the , the Human Alliance gradually established over a dozen large and small regimes, scattered across different parts of the mainland.

Some of these states were formed by conquering monster territories, some by inheriting the thrones of native monarchs, and others more directly through capturing native kingdoms.

“What do you think?” One of the three leaders left behind, from the heroes of the Hero Battle Group of the , Elvin gently tapped the table.

“It’s not unusual for the and to be absent; it’s not the first time, so it’s no big deal. But the Divine Land Battle Group… this is the first time they’ve suddenly been absent.” This leader, also from the , but from the Polar Battle Blade Corps, named Butcher Ali, frowned slightly, “Let’s put it this way, the Divine Land Battle Group not only shows up on time each time but also completes their tasks very seriously each time… Missing such a crucial time where they might clear the way to the upper levels is very strange indeed.”

“Butcher, just say what you want to say, no need to beat around the bush!” The last person, the Herculean Spirit Battle Group commander from the , King Bahubali, said expressionlessly, “I know you’ve always been concerned about the Divine Land Battle Group’s movements… Surely you know something more than us, don’t you?”

Butcher snorted.

Elvin had to tap the table again, saying softly, “Remember, the agreement between us, among our three groups, about advancing and retreating together… Ali.”

Butcher thought for a moment, “I don’t know exactly what the Divine Land Battle Group intends to do, but I know where they plan to go today… the Endless Forest Sea, and in full force.”

“Endless Forest Sea?” The robust young man named Bahubali, whose name was too long, paused, “Wasn’t the forest sea already fully explored? Why would the Divine Land Battle Group go back?”

Butcher shook his head, “I don’t know, I only know so much at the moment. The Divine Land Battle Group, fully armed, went to the Endless Forest Sea early in the morning.”

Elvin pondered in silence, contemplating the information within the report.

Then Bahubali raised an eyebrow suddenly, “Could it be that the people of the Divine Land Battle Group discovered something in the Endless Forest Sea… perhaps a hidden checkpoint or a mysterious area they plan to keep to themselves?”

Butcher and Elvin exchanged glances—this possibility had indeed crossed their minds too.

This possibility came to mind first and foremost because they, too, occasionally engaged in similar conduct—exploring the upper mainland is extremely time and manpower consuming, and often when entering a new unknown area, to save time, battle groups would explore separately and reconvene when close to completing an area’s exploration.

Although, according to Great Alliance regulations, battle groups must accurately report how much is explored and how much is obtained… how rigorously these rules are followed is unknown.

Exploring unknown regions comes with both risk and opportunity, and it’s commonplace to keep secrets if something mysterious or high-grade is discovered… Such dealings among battle groups are an unspoken understanding.

Yet the Divine Land Battle Group is somewhat different… Other battle groups have never been able to catch the Divine Land Battle Group in such acts—or perhaps they haven’t found out because the Divine Land Battle Group keeps things confidential enough.

“Finally showing their true colors?” Bahubali smiled coldly, “I’ve never liked these high-minded guys, who always present themselves as leaders all along?”

“Bahubali, without concrete evidence,” Elvin knocked the table again, this time slightly harder.

Yet this leader Bahubali stood up directly, coldly smiling, “Since today is a rest day, what I do today doesn’t need to be approved by you two… I’m bored and just plan to stroll around the Endless Forest Sea.”

Butcher and Elvin exchanged looks again… At this point, Butcher suddenly frowned.

“What’s the matter?” Elvin keenly sensed something.

Butcher’s expression was rather peculiar as he replied, “The latest intelligence indicates that both the and the also seem to have gone to the Endless Forest Sea…”

“Looks like…” Elvin slowly stood up, calmly saying, “It’s truly necessary to go for a field trip. Hopefully, this Endless Forest Sea can really offer us an unexpected surprise.”

…

…

“All members, split into twenty small teams, each with five people, and simultaneously enable the no-consent team-up mode! Remember, you must ensure you’re teamed up with the account ‘Your man doesn’t want you anymore!’ to deliver the final blow to the monster and gain the most experience points!”

In the depths of the Endless Forest Sea, inside a certain monster’s nest within the forest, the captain of the Divine Land Battle Group, King Serpent, announced loudly, “Don’t waste a second, rotate every five teams, with each break lasting twenty minutes… Alright, kill the monsters in this nest so fast that they can’t respawn in time, with your fastest speed!”

King Serpent was originally the first person from the Management Bureau to accidentally enter the Jade Fantasy game—not an agent in the bureau, just a logistic supporter.

But being the first to enter, and because no one else from the bureau could successfully enter the game for quite a while, King Serpent ended up working with the bureau inside and outside the game—or rather, the bureau brought two to three hundred people to accompany King Serpent in playing the game, forcefully pushing King Serpent to the forefront of the Human Alliance’s strongest rank.

Currently, King Serpent ranks third among the strongest in the Human Alliance… but still hasn’t surpassed Azure Sky Sword Saint and Blue Sky Holy Maiden.

At this moment, following a command from King Serpent, five teams from the Divine Land Battle Group rushed into the monster’s nest… only the sound of wind, thunder, and explosions could be heard crazily echoing from the nest’s entrance.

At this time, as the protagonist of this experience farming, the Godly Land true dragon under the account “Your man doesn’t want you anymore!” had her legs propped up on the table, smoking a cigarette blissfully while watching the character’s experience soar like a rocket… Pathetic!

“I heard the current level cap is temporarily at level one hundred?” Godly Land’s true dragon felt the cigarette wasn’t intense enough, so she switched to a cigar, squinting her eyes, “At this rate, you should reach level fifty in a day, right? Tsk tsk, the old fool is so stingy, refusing to let the battle group farm for another day… but fifty levels should be enough for now, maybe try again another day.”

The Godly Land’s true dragon began to smile coldly at the thought of her Fire Mage “Your man doesn’t want you anymore!” reaching the top tier of the mainland, standing before the ultimate version boss, Black Dragon King, imagining the expression on the face of the little bitch pulling the strings behind the scenes!

Probably like licking a dead rat!

Unable to hold back a smile, the true dragon of Godly Land thought of the rivalry between women.

“Sister Long, can you come out for a moment?”

“What’s the matter? I’m feeling great right now, no time!”

“Sparrow Demon Sister from the street next door is having difficulty with her birth! Come quickly, I can’t handle it…” the little butterfly monster almost cried out.

“Wait… I’m coming right away.”

Godly Land’s true dragon tossed away the cigar, typing two words on the screen before rushing out of the room.

…

“AFK?”

Tian Ji frowned. It was just their team’s turn to group with “Your man doesn’t want you anymore!” They had just teamed up and were about to deliver the final blow to a mini-boss monster, only to see the other party type out the words “AFK”, leaving Tian Ji feeling dissatisfied.

“Captain… this guy is AFK.” Tian Ji silently sent a private message to King Serpent, “Isn’t this too much?”

King Serpent directly replied, “Ignore it, our task is to level up this account as fast as possible… if it wants to AFK, let it AFK.”

“Who’s controlling this account?” Tian Ji asked again, feeling disgruntled.

King Serpent responded, “I don’t know either, it’s an order from above. Don’t ask, we don’t need to know. We just need to follow orders… Tian Ji, remember your current position. You are my team member, you have to listen to my command! Maintain the speed, don’t get distracted!”

—Remember your current position.

—You have to listen to my command!

Tian Ji’s eyes narrowed, coldly staring at the communications interface, at the words King Serpent… making a cold chuckle.

Evidently, at first, he was just a minor worker serving tea and water, only benefited from being the first to get in… without the efforts of those two to three hundred people behind him!

The third strongest in the Human Alliance?

Nothing more than a joke!

“You guys keep farming here.” Tian Ji took a deep breath, “I’ll go inside to see if I can lure out the king monster; the king monster has more experience, and maybe it’ll drop something good.”

The rest of the small team members didn’t doubt Tian Ji’s words, nodding and opened a path for Tian Ji to venture deeper.

“Thanks!” Tian Ji chuckled lightly, jumping deep into the nest.

…

Endless Forest Sea, deep inside.

Qianxiu turned back and asked, “Kind benefactor, what level are you now?”

“Hmm… Level 15, pretty fast.” Boss Luo casually checked the interface before responding—similar exchanges had happened four times along the way.

In team mode, both Qianxiu and Qian Yu Xian Rou could see the level of Little Mage at any time, yet they asked incessantly.

“Hmm, progress is okay.” Qianxiu nodded, “We’ll strive to help you reach level fifty-five today.”

Boss Luo didn’t have much concept of leveling… having played some mobile games before, the first few dozen levels are usually quick to achieve.

“Husband, the experience from these elite monsters is still too little, reaching fifty-five in a day is a bit tough.” Qian Yu Xian Rou suddenly commented… she was always watching the experience supply intently.

“Indeed.” Qianxiu nodded, “Then let’s go to the king’s nest… averaging one every fifteen minutes, it should take half a day if we proceed smoothly.”

“Okay!” Qian Yu Xian Rou agreed without hesitation.
