The rainforest was located at the eastern edge of Mysonna. It was the second-largest tropical rainforest in the world, which was also known as the "Death Rainforest. There were continuous undulations in the area, spanning thousands of miles. The area was rarely visited

by people and stayed dark and mysterio all year long.

To this day, the government of Mysonna hadn't developed this resource-rich rainforest because it was too dangerous. In the early years, the Mysonna government frequently attempted to send people in to explore, but they never returned. Eventually, they had to abandon attempts to explore the rainforest Yvette, Emmett, Chris, Bruce, and Frankie set out from Regal Tower, and it took them a full seven hours to reach the rainforest's entrance. The entrance of the rainforest looked like the fierce jaws of a beast, which was eerie and frightening

They checked their gear to make sure everything was fine. They felt a brief discomfort upon seeing the two conspicuous boxes of self-heating steak in Frankie's backpack but chose to stay silent.

Strength was always the best way to silence doubts.

Yvette was dressed in waterproof and scratch-resistant gear specially prepared by Emmett. She stared at the distant rainforest entrance. There was filled with a chill in her eyes. This was a place she knew well. Now, she came back again. She thought, Seven years have passed. Are the great beasts of this rainforest still alive? Probably, they haven't died.

The other four were also wearing clothes made of the same material as Yvette's. The rainforest was full of dangers, so they were fully prepared. Among them, expect for Frankie, who didn't have much experience with such adventures, Emmett, Chris, and Bruce, though had never directly entered a rainforest had encountered plenty of dangerous situations. They all knew how risky this operation was, and it was possible they might not return.

Emmett walked over to Yvette's side and sighed. He still hesitated about whether it was really the right decision to have Yvette go in with them. After all, the rainforest was definitely not a joke, even though Yvette was an ancient combat artist.

Emmett said to her, "Ms. Zeller, we've checked all the equipment. We're bringing the latest weapons with great firepower. and all the medications have been verified. We're ready to go."

As they were talking, Chris and the other two approached them

Yvette slightly tilted her head and raised an eyebrow with a blank look. She glanced at the group with her brown eyes filling with chilling and said coldly. "Before entering the rainforest, there's something I need to make clear. Listen carefully. From the moment we enter the rainforest, you must follow orders without question. If you can't do it, we'll part ways here. You replace your people, I'll replace mine, and we won't interfere with each other. Think it over now. Yvette knew the dangers of this rainforest better than anyone else, which was why she needed absolute compliance.

The first one to speak was Frankie. He was aware of his own abilities compared to others. Besides, given Yvette's great combat skills, he thought it made perfect sense for the strongest person to be in charge. Therefore, he responded, "No problem. I will follow orders. Whatever you decide is fine with me."

Bruce pursed his lips, with a serious expression. He stayed quiet. He wondered, 'What does absolute obedience mean? It means that once we enter the rainforest, we must follow any decision Yvette makes without question But is she deserving of such trust?" As for Chris, he accepted Yvette as one of their own. Since his own life was saved by Mr. Chavez, he decided that even if Mr. Chavez's chosen woman made a decision that ended his life, he would accept it without complaint.

Emmett and Chris both nodded in agreement, leaving only Bruce to join them. They all looked at Bruce, who managed a wry smile. Therefore, he changed his mind. He thought, 'There is no point in arguing. I'll face the challenges with them ogether "No problem. Bruce responded. The group came to an agreement.

At midday. Yvette led the four of them into the rainforest, and they followed the trail ahead.

Gradually, the entrance they had used was no longer visible. Everywhere they looked, towering trees rose up high, blocking

out the sky and sun.

A chilling aura surrounded the five of them. Although it was midday, there was a creepy atmosphere everywhere. The landscape was a tangled mess of trees and vines, with unusual ajal colorful flowers lining each side. The ground was Carpeted with layers of leaves that emitted a musty smell A dark aut among them, growing stronger as they

lingered ventured deeper, which was mingled with the scent of decaying earth

Yvette walked at the front with a cold expression, and Emmett and the others closely followed her. Before they realized it. the group had been walking for almost two hours. Throughout the entire trek, aside from the unrecognizable plants and trees, they didn't replace any sign of wolves, tigers, or any large predators, which made them feel really strange.

Tall trees and low shrubs were interwoven, creating a dark and dense atmosphere. The ground was becoming wetter, and the colors of the bright flowers were growing more vivid.

Yvette dashed swiftly through the jungle. Emmett and the others couldn't afford to slow down, because even a small lapse in focus might leave them far behind.

The cold aura around Yvette grew heavier. 'We're almost there; She thought, "We have to deal with it before night falls, or else it will rule the night when darkness arrives! Finally, after two hours of non-stop travel, Yvette suddenly stopped, gesturing for the others to take a break right where they

were

They came to a halt in an open area with only a few low bushes standing chaotically around them. Any movement would be noticed by all of them immediately, so they all agreed that it was a perfect place to rest. The group of five finally had a chance to rest. Frankie plopped onto the ground, breathing heavily. It was his first time running for so long. It wasn't walking but three continuous hours of running.

Bruce was also exhausted, not bothering to maintain his usual polished demeanor. He pulled out a waterproof mat from his backpack, set it up, and sat down next to Frankie, also breathing heavily. Even Emmett and Chris, as ancient combat artists, were physically at their limits.

As soon as they got Yvette's signal, they all sat on the ground. They weren't as out of breath as the other two but were still breathing irregularly. Their faces became slightly pale.

Of the five people present, only Yvette remained standing to one side of the clearing. Her eyes were downcast, fulling with cold, and her delicate brows knitted.

Even in this jungle where everyone else looked disheveled, Yvette was the exception. There wasn't even a leaf on her. She breathed steadily, with a rosy complexion. She seemed to be completely unfazed. "Let's rest here for an hour. Re-energize, and we'll continue in an hour." She ordered.

Emmett, Bruce, and Chris exchanged glances. They noticed that since entering the jungle, Yvette had moved forward without any hesitation, as if she knew the place like the back of her hand. She hadn't even used the compass they brought. It had been almost four hours since they came in. They did not encounter any danger. Yvette seemed to know exactly where the danger was and led them to avoid it precisely. This made them doubt whether Yvette had actually been to this place before. However, they also doubted whether it could be possible.

Frankie was totally carefree. He took out some energy bars and took a big sip of water. When noticing that everyone else was quiet, just looking at each other, he asked, "Hey, why aren't you guys talking? The jungle is already depressing enough. Let's chat while we have this break."
