TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

The evening on the Xinia Continent was a little strange.

During the day, the sky was a little clear because of the dark clouds that completely covered the sky. When night comes, the sky is completely dark overnight. There wasn't even a sunset or anything, because there was no sun on the continent.

Neither the sunlight nor the glimpse of the sun can be seen. The light that illuminates the continent was from the sun, but it is completely covered by dark clouds.

In Silkhall City it was no different, but everyone was already used to this climate. The population doesn't even bother with it anymore, they just enjoy the freezing weather as another normal day.

At the city gates, a few carriages were waiting to leave. As it was almost dusk, the amount is much less than during the day.

The reason for this was that during the night, the nocturnal creatures stalk the places outside the cities and there were not many people brave enough to try to travel at night.

In one of these carriages, we can see a young man of ordinary appearance in the coachman's chair. The young man had a mask that covers half of his face.

The young man was waiting for his turn to leave the city. In front of him were just a few more carriages.

"Next!!!"

"Next!!"

…

The city guard just needed to call and the carriage could leave the city, there was no fee or anything like that. So, the situation was very practical and easy.

It wasn't long before the young man's turn came. The guard just looked at him and motioned for the young man to leave.

The young man's carriage was simple and not very big, but it had enough space for some people to stay inside.

…

In the middle of the road ...

The young man's carriage was stopped and a barrier was erected. The nocturnal creatures were surrounding the barrier as if they were waiting for the barrier to break for them to attack.

It was not possible to see anyone there, but inside the carriage, there are several people and beasts.

"Young master, are we out of the city?" Nancy asked. She was in the dwelling ring the whole time and didn't know about the things that were going on outside.

"Yes. We are already on the road heading towards the slime forest. June, did you smell something close to us?" Liu Yang asked.

To leave the city, Liu Yang put the women inside the dwelling ring, only Alwine stayed outside, but she was in the carriage with Heidi and Lilaris, the other beasts were inside the ring.

Liu Yang had to do this because he didn't want the carriage to be full. At the same time, he needed a little space, in case something happened.

After traveling for almost an hour, Liu Yang stopped the carriage and set up a barrier. Luckily, the nocturnal creatures did not find him until the carriage stopped.

The people Liu Yang took out of the ring were June, Nancy, Alwine, and Finna. Because they were the best able to make plans and stuff. Beasts need to stay inside the ring like other women. Because there is not much space for them to stay in the carriage.

"Young master, that is a little difficult to say. The nocturnal creatures around us disturb the smell, but I smell differently from the nocturnal creatures near us. So I can assume that there are some people following us"June had a hard time smelling something because the number of creatures was large, but because of the different smells between people and nocturnal creatures. June managed to feel the presence of other people in the place.

"I see ... But before confirming this, we need to have proof whether they are pursuers sent by the nobles or just other travelers."

"Young master, what are we going to do now? Go out to deal with the nocturnal creatures? Or are we going to stay inside the barrier?" June asked. She was looking forward to fighting with her new body, but she knows it was useless.

June's current rank was 1. She can be killed with just one strike from any nocturnal creature. She needs to wait for Liu Yang to defeat the nocturnal creatures so she can level up.

"We will spend the night inside the barrier and tomorrow morning, we will continue the trip to the slime forest. If the other side is just travelers, we will not worry about them, but if they are persecutors, we will create problems for them" Liu Yang explained the plan.

"Ohh… Young master, are we going to play a little? We have some time until dinner time." Alwine used her sharp fingers to slide over Liu Yang's body. She was already in the mood to do activities in the carriage again after so long.

"No problem" Liu Yang was happy with that.

The group did activities for about two hours before Lisette left to prepare dinner. She knows what happened inside the carriage because of the women's smell and sweaty bodies.

June couldn't get out of the carriage because Liu Yang didn't want the others to see her. A beast with a humanoid shape was beings coveted by nobles. They were treated as sex slaves or warrior slaves, depending on their gender and abilities.

Liu Yang needs to be very careful when he leaves June outside the dwelling ring. Besides, she also needs to learn to control the transformation ability.

In this way, June can maintain her wolf form while she is outside the dwelling ring, but she can return to humanoid form when she is in a more private and safe place. This will help Liu Yang a lot to avoid great problems.

…

For the next few days, Liu Yang drove the carriage towards the slime forest. During the day, he drove the carriage. During the night, he rested inside the barrier with his women.

The trip was very smooth and there were no problems.

Liu Yang discovered that there was actually a group of people following him. June remembered their scent.

The pursuers did not try to do anything against Liu Yang. They just followed him closely as if they were watching him and his carriage.

…

After several days of travel ...

Liu Yang finally arrived at the entrance to the slime forest. He looked inside and saw that some slimes were crawling from side to side while looking for prey to devour. The scene was the same as before.

But as it was almost dark, Liu Yang chose to continue his journey and the carriage entered the forest. He already had plans to deal with his pursuers.

Sometime after Liu Yang entered the forest with the carriage. A carriage appeared on the scene.

The person driving the carriage was wearing a mask that completely covers his face and a brown cloak.

"Leader, our target has entered the forest. Should I follow him?" The coachman asked.

"..." No answer was heard.
