Become a Billionaire in One Day

They rented a car and drove to a waterfall in the city of Puma. They had to go the rest of the way on their own. There were not many people here, and the driver was willing to send them here because they had paid twice the price.    

    

Because this used to be a scenic spot, but there were always visitors who disappeared. As time passed, this matter became the talk of the town, and no one dared to come here again.    

    

Wu Ming said that they would follow the flow of the waterfall until they saw a forest. That was the starting point of their journey.    

    

Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed as they walked in a long line. The scenery here was really quite good. The sound of water gurgling could be heard, and the trees and plants on both sides of the road were lush and verdant.    

    

But the deeper they went, the harder the road became to walk. If the road they started out as was considered a new road, then now, they were opening up a new path. Wu Ming was at the front leading the way, followed by Chen Yang and the members of Rose Special Detachment.    

    

The flow of water here was very fast. There were many rocks and rocks growing everywhere, and they had to climb and go downhill. For them, this was not difficult at all. All they needed to do was be careful.    

    

At the beginning, everyone was talking and laughing as if they were traveling. After walking for five hours, no one spoke and they were all focused on walking. Although this was nothing, they would still feel tired.    

    

After walking for another hour or so, they saw a forest in front of them. The trees were all extremely tall and tall. They were all trees that were over a hundred years old.    

    

It was afternoon, the time when the sun was full, but it was still foggy inside.    

    

"We're here, this is the Misty Forest." Wu Ming said.    

    

Chen Yang looked into the forest. He wasn't able to see too far, but he could see through the forest.    

    

"Everyone should eat something here to rest before continuing on their journey."    

    

Everyone found a cool flat ground and sat on the ground. They took out dry food and water from their pockets and distributed it to everyone. Chen Yang ate a loaf of bread and drank a bottle of water. They then rested for another hour.    

    

He had to maintain his physical strength at his maximum before he could continue walking forward.    

    

After entering the Misty Forest, they all wore a protective mask. Wu Ming said that inhaling too much of the mist would cause them to feel dizzy. If they fainted alone in the forest, then this would be their final destination.    

    

"Tie this rope around your wrists. Once you tie it, be careful of scattered rope."    

    

To make sure, Wu Ming took out another rope from his backpack and told everyone to tie the rope around their wrists. This place was so misty, it was possible to get separated just by a little bit of carelessness. Although everyone's strength wasn't weak, once they lose their way here, they won't be able to leave.    

    

Chen Yang also tied the rope to his wrist. Wu Ming bought this rope specially, and it was long enough for all eight people to tie it to their wrists. There was still a little more than a meter of distance between them, even if one person was in trouble, the others could still react quickly.    

    

Wu Ming identified the direction and then led them to start their journey in the Misty Forest.    

    

The place was completely covered by trees. Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight would shine through, causing the fog to grow even stronger. At first, they could clearly see what was nearby, but after a period of depth, they crashed into trees.    

    

"Ouch!"    

    

With a "bang", Bai Ye let out a painful sound.    

    

"What's wrong?" Wu Ming quickly stopped and asked.    

    

"Hiss ~ ~ It's so painful!" "Damn, I didn't see it hit the tree!"    

    

The others all laughed. Chen Yang's perspective eye wasn't always open here. It would consume a lot of his energy, and his vision now was enough to see clearly.    

    

He clearly saw the scene where Bai Ye crashed into a tree, but it was already too late. Chen Yang followed Wu Ming's footsteps and looked around. After confirming that Bai Ye was not hurt other than hitting him, he continued on his way.    

    

They didn't know the direction, so they just followed Wu Ming's footsteps mechanically. It was so quiet here, it was scary. When they first came in, they could still hear some birds and the sound of running water, but now, only the sound of their footsteps could be heard in the whole forest.    

    

The forest had already darkened, so Wu Ming found an empty grassland that was fairly flat.    

    

"I can't see the road clearly anymore. Let's rest here tonight."    

    

Chen Yang looked at the tired crowd. After walking for more than ten hours, everyone seemed to be in low spirits. He also felt that it was time to rest.    

    

They put down their backpacks and started to support the tent. Wu Ming took out several flashlights and could barely see the open space clearly.    

    

Chen Yang sat on a rock and observed the fog. He felt that the fog was real, unlike the fog he had seen before. He stretched out his hand to feel the fog.    

    

"Young master, what's wrong?"    

    

Wu Ming saw Chen Yang sitting there alone and walked over to ask Chen Yang.    

    

"It's fine, I just feel like the fog here is real."    

    

"Mm, there is indeed a rumor saying that the fog here is not fog at all, but bugs."    

    

"Worms?"    

    

"Hmm, maybe so, but I can't see anything either. It's not harmful to the human body either. I'll go check to see how they're doing."    

    

Chen Yang became interested in Wu Ming's rumor. He immediately opened his Penetrating Eye and pierced through the mist. There was nothing unusual about it. He smiled and shook his head. How could it be insects?    

    

Wu Ming picked up some dry wood and was about to start a fire. The temperature difference between day and night was huge here. Chen Yang couldn't feel anything else and came over to help.    

    

A circle of people sat around the fire, eating the dry food they had brought.    

    

"This is only the outermost area of the Misty Forest. Tomorrow, we will enter the center. That is the most dangerous place. There will be a few ferocious beasts roaming about." Wu Ming introduced.    

    

"Beast? What are you afraid of? Wolf Fang didn't think that these beasts could injure them.    

    

Don't underestimate this place. These ferocious beasts have mutated before, they are bloodthirsty, unafraid of death, and also very cunning. Once they set their eyes on us, they will not stop until they are dead.    

    

Hearing Wu Ming's words, everyone went silent. It seems like this place is much more dangerous than they imagined.    

    

"Hur hur, I'll just treat it as training you guys. It's not like you usually don't have any opponents while you're still quarreling." Chen Yang didn't want to let his morale drop.    

    

Thinking of this, everyone's enthusiasm rose again, and they excitedly treated this place as a training ground. Wu Ming secretly admired Chen Yang, and with just a few words, the whole atmosphere had changed.    

    

Even though they were surrounded by a bonfire, they felt colder and colder. Chen Yang told them to go back to their tents to rest. There were a total of three tents, one for Chen Yang, one for Wu Ming, and two for the other six.    

    

They were all resting and cultivating their inner strength, recovering their mental state.    

    

Chen Yang couldn't sleep. After lying down for a while, he silently got up and walked out of the tent. He wanted to raise his head to look at the stars, but he found that they were completely hidden by the trees.    

    

He heard a series of soft shattering sounds. He didn't know what it was, so he vigilantly opened up his periscope to look around them.    

    

There was nothing in the open space, where did this sound come from!    

    

Chen Yang continued to look around. He found dense brown bugs crawling down from the thick tree trunk. He quickly shouted to wake everyone up.    

    

"What's wrong, young master?"    

    

"The tree is covered with brown insects. They are coming closer to us."    

    

Sure enough, everyone listened attentively and heard the sound of insects crawling on the ground.    

    

"These insects are called brown beetles. They have corrosive liquid on their bodies and they are very numerous. Why would they meet them here?"    

    

Wu Ming had a serious expression. If they surrounded him, there would be no way out.    

    

"What are they afraid of?" Chen Yang asked calmly.    

    

"They are afraid of the fire. These brown bugs only dare to move at night. Even if the Misty Forest is not hot or bright during the day, they would not dare to come out."    

    

That's easy to say!    

    

Chen Yang quickly told them to put away the tents. Hearing the sound getting louder and louder, everyone quickly put away their backpacks and tents.    

    

Chen Yang bought an indestructible torch from the Taotie system at this moment.    

    

He sent the torches to the group and let them light it up. Chen Yang looked around and saw that the brown bugs in the south had the least number.    

    

"Wu Ming, in which direction are we going?"    

    

"Young Master, it's the south."    

    

Then it would be the same as Chen Yang's plan. He asked Wu Ming to take out the rope from the day and tie it for everyone. This time, he would lead the way.    

    

Very quickly, the ground was occupied by the densely packed brown insects. Chen Yang and the others used torches to disperse these bugs.
