Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Why Are They Here Too?

The teleportation device unfolded before Lin Ye, then directly pulled him into the spatial channel.

The location of the ’Shadowless Forest’ wasn’t hard to find. After all, it was a famous ’Forbidden Land’. Even if the authorities didn’t specifically promote its location, those marketing accounts that catch the eye with sensational headlines would use the Forbidden Land’s name to create buzz.

Just a casual search online for a ’Forbidden Land’ map would easily reveal the coordinates of the ’Shadowless Forest’.

“It’s this direction.”

Lin Ye quickly pinpointed the locations of the nearest teleportation arrays to the Shadowless Forest.

These teleportation arrays were generally abandoned.

But fortunately, as long as the core of the teleportation array wasn’t damaged, Lin Ye, relying on the attributes of his Spatial Talent, could still forcibly activate the teleportation array.

Out of caution, Lin Ye even took a preliminary look to see if there was any danger near his chosen landing spot.

After confirming there was none, Lin Ye directly chose an abandoned teleportation array less than ten miles from the Shadowless Forest.

“Teleport!”

With a thought, Lin Ye found himself standing atop that teleportation array.

This was an abandoned military base.

Looking at the surrounding conditions, this base had been deserted for at least ten years.

However, the overall structure was remarkably intact.

Even the teleportation array beneath Lin Ye’s feet was undamaged.

This situation was quite common.

Such largely intact abandoned bases were mostly left due to cost-effectiveness and practical considerations.

Clearly, to the Professional Alliance, a place like the Shadowless Forest didn’t warrant maintaining such a large military base.

A small outpost to observe periodically would suffice.

Aside from ensuring that no one who enters ever returns, the Shadowless Forest was quite stable, with no signs of impending turmoil ever reported.

So based on practical considerations, the Alliance Army had withdrawn from this frontline military base years ago, consolidating it into a larger base about ten miles away.

Thus, the remaining teleportation array was conveniently available to Lin Ye.

After briefly observing his surroundings, Lin Ye set about his first task upon arrival.

He released several Mechanical Crows, which flew out through the broken windows, immediately spreading out to survey the surrounding area.

Once confirming there was no one around, Lin Ye directly activated Space Movement, vanishing on the spot.

The next moment, Lin Ye appeared next to one of the crows, standing suspended in mid-air.

“Hoo…”

Amidst the winds whistling past his ears in the open sky, Lin Ye’s clothes flapped fiercely.

Lin Ye looked towards the distance, where a vast, silent, and dark forest loomed.

Stretching endlessly, it resembled a giant beast lying across the horizon.

Lin Ye slightly pursed his lips, then leapt into the Spatial Rift, disappearing without a trace.

…

Shortly after Lin Ye departed, several figures appeared beside the abandoned military base.

“Finally here, we’re about to reach the Shadowless Forest!” a woman said excitedly.

“Yes, this base used to be the frontline stationing the Shadowless Forest… it’s a pity it’s deserted, otherwise we could have teleported directly over,” a tall man said with a hint of regret.

It’s hard to imagine how many soldiers would have lived here daily in such a large base back then.

To stand guard in this godforsaken and dangerous place must have been a tough job.

Trailing behind the pair was a petite girl.

“Thank you two seniors for guiding me, from here on I can go on my own,” Yuan Danqing said.

“No problem! We’ll accompany you to the outskirts of the forest, just as long as we don’t enter it,” the man said with a hearty laugh.

“Let’s go! Don’t waste time here!” the woman urged.

Seeing the fervor in the two, Yuan Danqing nodded vigorously, replying, “Alright!”

With that, the three of them walked forward.

While walking, Yuan Danqing looked at the man in front, appearing as though she had something to say but was hesitating.

“If you want to say something, just say it, it’s fine,” the man said, turning back kindly.

Yuan Danqing widened her eyes, feeling somewhat like a thief caught in the act.

Since her thoughts had been seen through, Yuan Danqing straightforwardly asked as per his suggestion.

“I heard you are Lin Ye’s teacher?” she asked, her gaze intense.

“See, I knew she’d ask that,” Huang Li smiled, giving Chen Daosheng a knowing look.

Chen Daosheng wasn’t surprised either…

His most prominent identity now was not as a trainee supervisor at the Professional Center but as Lin Ye’s teacher!

The majority of those trying to connect with him were interested in his identity as ’Lin Ye’s teacher’.

“Indeed, I am Lin Ye’s high school teacher,” Chen Daosheng readily admitted.

The fact was undeniable; some ridiculed him for needing a student to boost his reputation, but Chen Daosheng felt dignified and had no shame in it.

Lin Ye gave him a push, but he earned more opportunities with his own performance.

Moreover, Lin Ye’s achievements made Chen Daosheng proud to be his teacher.

A teacher recognized through the student’s success? Ridiculous?

Pure jealousy it was.

It didn’t shake the teacher-student bond between Chen Daosheng and Lin Ye one bit.

“Do you have any more questions?” Chen Daosheng asked again.

“Oh… no, no,” Yuan Danqing shook her head.

“Then let’s hurry, the sooner the better; Abyssal Demons have been appearing more frequently. We must pick up the pace,” Chen Daosheng said after surveying the surroundings.

Yuan Danqing nodded immediately, “No problem!”

As they spoke, a crow circled above them in the sky, its eyes rolling as it watched the three below.

…

In the distance ahead, Lin Ye stood atop a tree, his expression somewhat intrigued.

“The teacher came too?” he murmured.

It didn’t surprise Lin Ye that Yuan Danqing would come here.

Besides them, undoubtedly more people must be heading this way.

However, Chen Daosheng and Huang Li escorting Yuan Danqing was something Lin Ye hadn’t anticipated.

Yet it made sense…

Currently, the Alliance and military were hurriedly reclaiming lost territories and exterminating lingering powerful demons, so manpower was very tight.

Thus, the task of escorting Yuan Danqing to the Shadowless Forest fell to Chen Daosheng and Huang Li.

Little did they know, Lin Ye was right ahead of them…
