<h4>Chapter 859: This is protection (3)</h4>


    Theke in the Forest of Freedom was called Moonlight Lake and was the only source of water in the forest. Ji Fengyan swam in theke-water for a day and asionally saw the creatures in the foresting to drink water.


    Besides the green creatures fromst night, Ji Fengyan also saw other living creatures in the Forest of Freedom. There were some huge and ferocious beasts that had an extremely dangerous aura, and they were the ones rumoured to the most dangerous creatures in the Free Valley previously.


    However...


    When the ferocious beasts stepped into the Moonlight Lake, they became unusually quiet. Even if there were some small animals drinking water beside them, they also did not attack them.


    This made Ji Fengyan feel magical.


    The Rhinoceros Beast thaty by theke watched as all the living beings moved to and fro theke. It lifted its head, as if it could sense Ji Fengyan’s doubt, and exined patiently.


    [The Forest of Freedom had its own rule. The Moonlight Lake is the only source of water in the forest so any creature needed it to survive, so fighting is prohibited at this ce.]


    This was thew in the Forest of Freedom, and it was in the heads of all the creatures surviving in the Forest of Freedom.


    The ferocious beasts could hunt freely in any other ce in the Forest of Freedom. So long as they did not kill too many lives, they would not be stopped from hunting. However, they had to behave differently at the Moonlight Lake.


    Ji Fengyan swam to the side of theke. She rested her wet arms above theke surface and moved her legs freely in the water.


    “This is amazing. I have never seen a ce with this much spiritual energy before.”


    This was definitely a paradise for immortal cultivators. Any immortal cultivator who had found this precious ce would undoubtedly go crazy for it. Cultivating at the Forest of Freedom would save them a lot of time and with the purity of spiritual energy there, it would make their vital energy umte more efficiently.


    [Spiritual energy?] The Rhinoceros Beast tilted its head, obviously not understand what Ji Fengyan had meant.


    Ji Fengyan smiled but remained silent.


    Suddenly, the birds in the forest flew in all directions, causing the peace in the Moonlight Lake to change to an eerie feeling. The animals that had been drinking water onnd suddenly stopped and looked up in the same direction.


    Ji Fengyan also looked there. In the dense forest, she could faintly spot a dark figure.


    A disgusting stench came from that direction.


    The Rhinoceros Beast suddenly stood up and walked towards that dark figure.


    A tall figure walked out slowly from the dense forest and its appearance made all the animals by the Moonlight Lake panic. That was a ck living being that could not be seen clearly. It was as if there was ayer of thick fur over its body and the fur had ck liquid stuck to it. With each step taken, that disgusting liquid dripped from its leg to the grass.


    The grass that had contact with the liquid instantly wilted and ck smoke formed.


    That monster walked out of the forest and seemed to want to move towards the Moonlight Lake, but the Rhinoceros Beast blocked its way.


    [You do not belong here.] The Rhinoceros Beast’s voice sounded. Its tone was filled with warning, and it lowered its head to reveal the horns on its head.


    The ck monster did not dare to take another step forward after being blocked by the Rhinoceros Beast, but under its thick and dirty fur, its oily green eyes stared straight at Ji Fengyan, who wasying by theke.
