Chapter 191 - 191 Trapped, Hidden Danger

191 Trapped, Hidden Danger

According to Wu Hai and the others, the last time they were here, it was extremely dangerous. They were attacked by powerful demonic beasts almost as soon as they stepped into the forest, and they had to retreat to the city.

The silence around them did not make them feel at ease. Instead, it made them a little nervous.

“There’s no harm in being careful, everyone.”

As they moved forward, the light became dimmer and dimmer. The trees that covered the sky blocked all the light and shadows, and only a few scattered lights shone through. It was as if they had come to an ancient forest, and all kinds of strange plants came into view.

“According to the map, we should be at the center of the forest.”

Due to the dim light, everyone could barely see a little bit around them. They couldn’t see anything further, as if there were many huge shadows hidden around them.

Ye Xuan and the others didn’t light up too much for fear of attracting demonic beasts, so they didn’t notice the faint mist spreading.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

A gust of wind came from somewhere, and even though they had the spiritual power to protect their bodies, they still felt a little cold. Some people couldn’t help but sneeze and rub their noses.

“It’s so cold. Why do I feel like the temperature is getting lower and lower?”

“That’s normal. After all, the temperature in the depths of the forest is lower than outside.”

As the fog rose, Ye Xuan finally realized that something was wrong. He suddenly stopped and carefully looked around.

“What’s wrong, Elder Ye?” Shen Changling asked.

Ye Xuan frowned and said, “Why do I remember walking past this place before? And this tree, wasn’t it here in the beginning?”

With Ye Xuan’s reminder, everyone suddenly realized that they had actually walked this road before.

However, the surrounding scenery was almost the same, so they did not notice anything. They had already walked back and forth on this road two or three times.

Wu Hai looked at the map in his hand and then at the surrounding environment.

“That’s impossible. I followed the map, so I shouldn’t be wrong. I’ve walked this path before. Maybe you’re wrong.”

Ye Xuan believed in his intuition. He made a mark on the tree and gestured to everyone, “Let’s continue forward.”

After making a big circle, they saw the tree and the familiar mark enter their sight. Everyone’s face showed some panic.

“We’re really lost!”

Wu Hai’s features were all scrunched up. He said, “This is really strange. What exactly is the problem?”

A white fog floated in the surroundings. Because of the low temperature, the surrounding trees were covered in a layer of white frost. A disciple exclaimed, “Why did the fog appear?!”

Everyone lowered their heads and realized that the fog had already spread to their feet.

Wu Hai’s expression was extremely ugly. He said, “Impossible! It’s clearly not time for the fog to appear, so where is this fog coming from?”

Recalling what Wu Hai had told them about the strange white fog, everyone’s expressions were not too good. Now that they were lost, it could be said that it was even worse.

“What should we do now?”

Wu Hai’s expression was grim. He said, “The fog isn’t thick yet. We have to find the exit as soon as possible. Otherwise, we won’t even know how we will die.”

Someone suggested splitting up, but this idea was quickly rejected.

The forest was full of danger. They didn’t have many people to begin with, and if they scattered and encountered demonic beasts, wouldn’t it give the beasts an opportunity? They wouldn’t even have the power to fight back.

“This method won’t work. It’s easy to get lost if we split up. If some of us encounter danger, I’m afraid we won’t be able to run over and help out in time.”

The best way was for everyone to work together. Even if there was a situation, they could look out for each other. However, this would slow down the speed.

Just as everyone was at their wits’ end, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “I have a way.”

With a flash of spiritual light, a few charmingly na?ve little beasts appeared in front of everyone. They were the Penglai Immortal Beasts. In order to avoid attracting attention, Ye Xuan transmitted his voice to them, telling them to maintain their beast form and not speak in the human language in public.

If they knew that he not only had transformed demonic beasts and he even had more than a few, their jaws would probably drop. After all, even the Seven Great Sects did not have such a large amount of resources.

The Penglai Immortal Beasts were also very cooperative. Apart from its strange appearance and its ignorant appearance, it didn’t look any different from other ordinary demonic beasts.

“This is a demonic beast that I’ve been raising. It might be able to help.”

As the Penglai Immortal Beasts had concealed their aura, the crowd did not know how powerful they were. They only felt that they were petite and cute, and could not help but reveal doubtful expressions.

“Will this work?”

“Don’t underestimate them.”

Ye Xuan said to the Penglai Immortal Beasts politely, “We’re lost. Please help us find the location of the mine on the map.”

The few Penglai Immortal Beasts looked at each other, then nodded in a human-like manner and gradually disappeared into the white fog.

Looking at their backs as they left, everyone felt uneasy. Someone asked, “Can they do it or not?”

The fog was still spreading, showing no signs of decreasing. Their lower half was almost invisible, and if this continued, they would probably have difficulty seeing.

“Let’s stick close to each other so we don’t get separated.”

Perhaps it was because the fog was too thick, but Ye Xuan’s voice was a little distorted. They were clearly close, but it felt like there was a thick wall between them.
