Chapter 233 is just like the legend.
"Weiwei, this place really is just like the legends!"
In the forest, it felt as if I had stepped into a vortex of time, where the boundary between reality and fantasy blurred instantly.
Sunlight struggled to penetrate the dense foliage, casting only dappled patterns on the ground, like broken golden glass. Amidst the dappled light and shadow, the trees took on various shapes, their twisted branches resembling menacing, clawing hands, as if trying to seize the soul of every intruder.
The fallen leaves beneath my feet rustled eerily, as if whispering ancient secrets. Occasionally, a cool breeze would blow by, carrying a faint, strange floral fragrance, sweet yet alluring.
Not far away, a winding stream flowed gently, its water shimmering with an eerie hue, as if some mysterious power was surging within it.
"So beautiful!" You Hao exclaimed.
Perhaps the snake race prefers this kind of place.
"Weiwei, this place is not safe. Let's be careful."
"Brother Xuan, you protect Weiwei, I'll go scout ahead." After saying that, You Hao transformed into a small snake and disappeared in a flash.
"Brother Hao, wait for me, let's go together!" Gui Hai also turned into a little turtle and followed.
"Brother, I..."
"What do you mean 'what do you mean 'what do you mean 'what do you mean ''? Stay with us and don't wander off'." Before Guihu could finish speaking, Yeying interrupted him.
"Let's walk hand in hand and take a look around first. If we encounter any wild animals, we should make a sound. The wild animals here are probably not easy to handle."
Just then, several birdsongs rang out from the branches, sharp and piercing, like some kind of warning. Ze Xuan gripped Lin Weiwei's left hand tightly, while Ye Ying grabbed her right.
"Wei'er, don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Pfft~ Okay, I'm not afraid." Seeing his nervous look, she found it amusing. They seemed to have forgotten that among these people, she herself had the highest rank and also possessed a spatial ability, so she generally wouldn't encounter any major problems.
As they walked, a thick fog suddenly rolled in ahead, the white mist spreading rapidly and soon enveloping them. Visibility became extremely low, and they could only see the hazy shadows of the surrounding trees.
"Everyone be careful, get closer," Nightshade shouted.
Just then, Lin Weiwei felt the ground beneath her feet soften, as if something was wriggling underground.
"There's something underground, everyone be careful."
Suddenly, several enormous claws emerged from the mist and swung fiercely at them. Nightshade and Zexuan reacted with lightning speed, transforming into their beast forms. Their sharp claws clashed, sending sparks flying.
"It's a bear monster! These guys are pretty smart, everyone be careful!" Ze Xuan shouted.
"The bear monsters here are so big, I'll come here to hunt next time."
The bear monster could understand Nightshade's meaning, and its anger surged! It let out a howl and attacked even more fiercely.
Lin Weiwei noticed that they weren't fighting with full force, and with the fog around them, she almost got hurt several times.
"You guys finish this quickly, I'm going into my space to get something to eat."
However, the bear monsters were not so easy to deal with. They would hide in the mist when they missed their attacks, and then come back to attack in a flash.
"Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover."
Ze Xuan and Ye Ying gradually figured out the bear monster's tactics. Ze Xuan deliberately exposed an opening, luring one of the bear monsters to attack with all its might, while Ye Ying seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack from the side, its sharp claws piercing into the bear monster's body.
Seeing this, the other bear-like monsters roared angrily and pounced on them together.
Just then, You Hao returned and saw this scene. The little snake swiftly bit a bear monster, released its venom, and with a thud, the bear monster fell heavily to the ground.
The remaining three were also dealt with by the beastmen. This bear monster was just trying to provoke it, because it loses its mind when it gets angry.
After the bear monster died, the fog slowly dissipated.
"Could this fog have been brought by the bear monster?" Nightshade asked.
"I don't know, maybe it was them who did it."
"That's quite clever."
"Hurry up, Zehao, Haolong, Fengyang, Guihu, you guys put the prey into your spatial storage. The smell of blood is too strong. Clean up the scene quickly."
"Hurry up, or we'll attract even more wild beasts and cause trouble."
At this moment, Gui Hai slowly crawled over and said apologetically, "I was a little slow, but thankfully you guys got it done."
Nightshade stepped forward and tapped his tortoise shell, teasing, "You idiot, can't you transform into human form? You're so stupid. Hurry up and dig some soil to cover the blood on the ground."
"Oh oh oh! Okay." After saying that, he showed his tortoise claws and dug frantically. Although he was slow at crawling, he was the best at digging.
After quickly clearing the battlefield, they were preparing to continue their journey when suddenly, Lin Weiwei felt as if the sound of thousands of troops was coming from afar.
He flashed out of the space and took all the beastmen into it.
A moment later, a group of people dressed only in small pieces of animal skin rode in on towering beasts. Their upper bodies were covered in intricate runes, emitting a faint glow. The leader glanced at the ground, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"There was just a fight here. Why haven't we encountered anyone along the way?"
"Big brother, should we look around?"
"No need, let's keep going."
After the group left
"Vell, thank goodness we got out of there quickly. I wonder which tribe they are from. They are so clever, knowing how to tame wild beasts to use as mounts."
"Yeah! Pretty impressive, so let's keep a low profile here, especially you, Nightshade."
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Lin Weiwei's words. Ye Ying pouted, "Okay, okay!"
So they continued deeper into the forest. They hadn't gone far when they came upon an open area filled with many plants they'd never seen before, some bearing large, plump fruits that emitted an enticing fragrance. Lin Weiwei curiously approached to examine them, and using her advanced abilities, she determined that the fruits were not poisonous.
"Pick some and put them in your space to try," Lin Weiwei said.
The others gathered around, and just as Zexuan reached out to pick a fruit, a small animal suddenly darted out of the nearby bushes. It looked like a rabbit but had exceptionally long ears. It snatched a fruit and ran off, but Guihai reacted quickly, hitting it with a clod of dirt. The animal fell to the ground, and the fruit rolled to the side.
"This little guy actually dared to snatch the thing we had our eye on first," Gui Hai muttered.
