The forest was vast like a sea of smoke. It was like a primitive forest, with thick and endless trees.

Meng Xiaodie clearly knew that this was an illusion, but in the face of such a lifelike forest, her heart was still in turmoil.

The two of them were already standing at the edge of the forest, and the rotting leaves emanating from within gave off a musty smell. Shen Hong could not help but say, "Could this really be a large forest?"

Meng Xiaodie laughed, "We all know that it's not real, but this illusion is so realistic, it's indeed magical."

Shen Hong peered inside. Through the wide leaves, he could only see some intertwined tree branches and some dried branches. The light inside was even dimmer, and those thick tree branches were only a few black shadows.

"It's too quiet here. It's so quiet that it makes people panic." Shen Hong couldn't help asking.

All she wanted to do now was speak, as if not to speak, and she would immediately feel distracted. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, because the forest was so large, like a huge shadow pressing down on her, making her breathless.

Speaking was a form of release, and speaking was a form of release. Shen Hong truly did not dare to imagine what it would be like if she were to face this massive forest alone. Would she instantly collapse?

It was a good thing that Meng Xiaodie was by her side. She was an indomitable hero, and with him by her side, she didn't feel even the slightest bit of fear.

Shen Hong might have never felt any fear. She had experienced too many trials and tribulations that her heart seemed to have gone numb. But seeing the massive forest in front of her, that was just a psychological reflex.

There was no path in the forest, and even if there were, it was covered by thick foliage and knee-deep grass. There might be giant snakes or serpents, or perhaps other unimaginable poisonous insects.

She gave the other one to Meng Xiaodie, who shook her head and said, "Just save one. You have to know that I am immune to poisons, so even if there are poisonous bugs and poisonous snakes in this forest, they will not be able to do anything to me."

When Shen Hong thought about it, Meng Xiaodie's blood sometimes worked better than the antidote. It was a waste for him to eat this kind of thing.

The two of them took out their swords and blades, cutting down the bushes as they slowly moved forward. After walking into the forest for less than ten meters, they clearly felt an evil Qi. Meng Xiaodie stopped and carefully checked her surroundings, but didn't find anything wrong. Maybe it was because the forest was already damp, but with the dim light, it seemed very gloomy. This was just a psychological factor. Meng Xiaodie could not help but want to laugh. There was a saying that only one day a snake would bite you, and you would be afraid of being bitten by a snake for ten years. Was he being too careful?

As they continued forward, the grass in front of them became even deeper. Some parts of the grass had already reached their waists, so the two of them could only use their swords and sabers to clear the way. Further ahead, the forest covered the sky and there was almost nothing to be seen. Shen Hong could only light up a fire piston. The ground was filled with dried leaves, and she carefully guarded the fire piston, afraid that a spark would fall onto the dried leaves and cause a huge fire. At that time, even if they weren't bitten by poisonous bugs, they would still be burned to death.

The fire flickered, and from a distance, it looked like a firefly hugging each other. However, this little bit of light had caused a commotion.

There was a burst of noise coming from the surrounding grass, as if there were many things flying around. Using the weak light of the fire, Meng Xiaodie looked around and found that there were groups of things flying around in the darkness.

"What is it?" Is it a poisonous insect? " Shen Hong asked in panic.

"It seems to be some flying insects, but there's nothing in my hand." Meng Xiaodie stretched out her hand and grabbed a few times, but there was nothing in her hand.

Those small groups of shadows were still flying around. Shen Hong held the fire piston and looked at it closely. There was nothing above the grass. What was going on? Were their eyes playing tricks on them? All he saw was a phantom?

Things happened in such a strange way that Meng Xiaodie pulled Shen Hong and quickened her pace.

The black figures seemed to have been left behind, but a larger black figure appeared in front of them. That black shadow looked like a human, but it was much taller than a human. A savage? Shen Hong had heard that there were many wild men in the forest. They were all red stripes and strong bodies. They climbed trees more nimbly than monkeys. They climbed the cliffs as if they were flat land.

Meng Xiaodie took two more steps forward, and opened the fire piston to shine on it. Only then did she clearly see a tall stone statue, which was old and mottled, and had become iron-black in color. When she looked up, Meng Xiaodie let out a scream, "This is a Linglong Treasure Beast statue."

Shen Hong could also tell that the appearance of the Linglong Beast statue here surprised her immensely. She recalled the time when the statue of the Linglong Beast in the pond was resurrected in the Linglong Courtyard.

In the middle of the forest, there was a clearing. The surrounding vines climbed up the legs of the stone statue, and the entire foot of the stone statue was wrapped in vines, as if it was a giant that had grown on a rattan.

"This stone statue shouldn't be able to revive?" Shen Hong whispered.

"That might not be the case. They would not place a statue here for no reason. Let's be careful." He knew in his heart that he wouldn't be able to hear anything from this statue. The most important thing was its senses, the Earth Devil had already cast a spell on its body. As long as the magic was activated, they wouldn't be able to avoid it even if they wanted to.

After walking for half a day, Meng Xiaodie and Shen Hong still could not find a clearing like this. However, those black shadows flew near the stone statue and disappeared, because it was too dark around them. They only felt that there was something black around them, but they could not see it clearly.

The two walked around the huge stone statue and towards the side. Only then did they see that there were some stone carvings on the side. They were much smaller than the statues. Shen Hong thought to himself, no wonder it's dark all around. The houses were carved out of stone. They were a bit taller than humans, and there were many monsters like lions, leopards, tigers, and wolves in the middle. These things surrounded them in a circle.

Meng Xiaodie looked at the surroundings and knew that this arrangement was premeditated. It was as if they had walked into a trap that had been set beforehand. Meng Xiaodie said to Shen Hong, "Quickly get out of this circle, there is killing intent here."

Unexpectedly, Shen Hong snorted and coldly said, "So what if you have killing intent? I'll kill you." After saying that, he swung the crescent moon blade at Meng Xiaodie.

Meng Xiaodie also did not expect Shen Hong to suddenly change. He was stunned, the crescent moon blade was already close to his forehead.

He sidestepped the blade and cried out, "Miss Shen, you're crazy."
