Chapter 128: Explaining the New Area. Exclusive Reward!

[Ding. Remnant mark x2 have been merged. New content unlocked!]

After Stark took out two sets of remnant marks, a notification sound instantly sounded in his mind.

Stark instantly looked at the remnant mark, wanting to see the remaining half of the information regarding the diamond treasure chest.

With this glance, he instantly understood.

The lower half of the book indeed recorded this diamond treasure chest. This adventurer had used an extremely special method to hide it in Lorraine Forest.

Just this magic array alone was enough to hold off thieves. Without using a special method, no matter how strong one was, they would not be able to open it.

However, although the specific location of the treasure chest was not given, it involved a character.

The Silver-winged Lion King that lived in the Wildlands Forest, Lorda, was this adventurer’s friend.

Lorda lived in the Wildlands Forest’s dark blue castle and seemed to have a sister.

And this Lorda had the exact location of the diamond treasure chest, as well as the method to unlock it!

Wildlands Forest, Silver-winged Lion King Lorda?

Just as Stark was puzzled by these two names, a system notification instantly sounded in his ear.

[Ding!]

[Due to a Transcendent triggering the storyline ahead of time, the restricted area will be opened early: Forest of the wildlands and cave of the wildlands! (unknown)]

[Ding!]

[Due to a Transcendent triggering the storyline ahead of time, the first clear reward will be opened early. The first person to pass the trial in the cave of the wildlands will receive a special additional reward!]

Two consecutive notifications sounded like a loud bell in everyone’s ears.

At this moment, everyone in the apocalypse world was dumbfounded.

Opening a forbidden zone ahead of time?

Wildlands Forest?

Why did this name sound so rare?

Most importantly, which Transcendent was so strong that he actually opened the forbidden zone ahead of time?

This was too ridiculous!

Could it be that he had defeated a super-powerful lord-tier boss?

Moreover, the first person to pass the Savage Caves trial would receive an additional reward?

This caused a huge commotion among the humans who had not participated in an event for a long time.

Especially the players on the city rankings, all of them were excited.

At this moment, Stark’s face was filled with shock.

He did not expect that he would trigger such a huge reaction just by reading an incomplete record.

However, after thinking about it, Stark felt relieved.

Just by hearing the name, he knew that the Wildlands forest clearly did not belong to Earth.

And this remnant mark, as well as the name of the Silver-winged Lion King, Lorda, were not things that Earth should have.

In fact… it might even be related to those ancient existences.

All of this was something that the main god had prepared long ago.

And he had only discovered the clues left behind by the system, thus triggering these hidden areas ahead of time!

Even without him, these places would have been discovered sooner or later.

However, at this moment, the system’s voice sounded in his mind once again.

[Ding, because you have triggered the forbidden area ahead of time, the forest of the wildlands, you will receive a special reward!]

[You have received a new title: Forest of Wildlands—Explorer King!]

[After you enter the forest of wildlands, you will gain the favor of the Transcendent creatures within. As long as you do not take the initiative to attack, you will not be harmed by the monsters!]

[Hint: this title is only effective in the forest of wildlands!]

“There’s actually a reward?” A smile appeared on Stark’s face.

Previously, when he had triggered the opening of the forest of wildlands and was notified by the system, Stark was still a little depressed.

Now that he had obtained this title, it was simply a huge compensation for Stark.

One had to know that the forest of wildlands belonged to a mysterious region. There were unknown dangers hidden within.

Having someone scout the way for him was actually a good thing for Stark.

Moreover, his diamond treasure chest belonged to the clue category.

Without the remnant mark in their hands, it was impossible for them to find the location of the treasure chest like him.

After that, Stark glanced at the remnant mark. Once he confirmed that there were no more diamond treasure chest clues, he did not continue to study it.

He was afraid that he might trigger some hidden area.

There was a forbidden area coming out, and it was enough for Stark to be busy.

Stark did not want to cause any more trouble since the remnant was in his hands.

At the same time, Stark began to head back to the Seda stronghold.

Although the system had announced the opening of a restricted area, it did not specify where the location was.

Therefore, Stark needed to go back and find Yvette and the others to help him keep an eye on the forum.

After all, the higher the level, the greater the display range of the forum’s content.

Months ago, Stark needed 10,000 experience points per level. Even if he wanted to level up, he would still need a lot of time.

Under Stark’s extreme speed, he soon appeared at the Seda stronghold.

Yvette, Delia, and Chris were already standing in front of Stark.

“The three of you, help me pay more attention to the forum. See if anyone has posted about the Wildlands Forest. It’s best if you can find a map of the Wildlands Forest’s location!”

Stark immediately ordered.

“Yes, <aster. To tell you the truth, we’ve been keeping an eye on this matter on the forum recently!” Delia said first.

It would be strange if they did not know about such a huge notification sound.

“Master, it’s said that the restricted area has been opened ahead of time. Many people say that it’s extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to take this risk?”

Chris said worriedly.

“Yes, Master. I’m also worried about this,” Yvette said from the other side.

Obviously, the three women were worried about Stark’s decision.

“This is the zone that I triggered ahead of time. Why wouldn’t I go?

“Besides, I’m definitely safer than anyone else in there!”

Stark said with a smile.

He had triggered the forbidden zone ahead of time, giving him a unique title of the Wilderness Forest’s exploration king.

As long as he didn’t take the initiative to attack and carefully searched for the diamond treasure chest, he wouldn’t be harmed by the monsters at all.

“What?”

“Master, did you trigger this wilderness zone?”

The three girls were all shocked when they heard that. They instantly understood when they saw Stark’s expression.

It was obvious that Stark wasn’t joking.

Moreover, they had some understanding of Stark’s strength.

It could be said that being able to do such a thing wasn’t too surprising.

..

At the same time, the weather gradually turned hot.

Summer had arrived.

In another area far away from the Seda stronghold.

“This… how could there be such a large forest here?”

“Could it be that this is the forest the system mentioned?!”

A cry of surprise sounded.

..

On the other side, on the afternoon of the same day the notification about the Wildlands Forest was released, Stark brought the three girls to the Lorraine Forest early in the morning.

In the forums, no one had found the Wildlands Forest yet, so Stark was ready to level up.

After becoming the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, Stark’s level had been stuck at 30.

He hadn’t had the time to properly level up.

Now that he had the time, he naturally couldn’t be idle.

After arriving at the Lorraine Forest, Stark left the three girls at the periphery to level up while he charged all the way to the core area of the Lorraine Forest.

Their strengths were different, so Stark naturally couldn’t bring them along all the time.

And in the core area, most of the mutated behemoths here were level 40 and above.

The EXP given by a behemoth was around 10,000 points.

Looking at the dangerous forest in front of him, the corners of Stark’s mouth curled into a smile.

Next, it was time to hunt the behemoths!
