Hearing Guan Xin speak.
We were all startled in our hearts, staring at her with some surprise.
Old Mo, who was beside us, spoke directly:
"Guan Xin, how could such a large forest disappear just like that?"
"Yes! What's going on? Could it be another realm there?"
Xu Han Chi added.
But as soon as his voice fell.
Yun Hu shook his head and replied:
"I think! Could there be some Qimen Dunjia technique?"
"Mm, I agree with that.
There might have been an array set up there.
The array would appear and disappear according to the designer's schedule.
It's not that mysterious."
Yun Long also echoed.
Guan Xin frowned slightly:
"I can't say for sure, but that part of the forest is very large.
It's always covered by mist, and the Yin energy inside is very heavy.
If it was indeed set up with Qimen Dunjia.
Then such a method is truly astonishing..."
Uncle grinned:
"No matter what kind of forest it is, we'll know once we go and see.
Thinking more now is useless."
After hearing Uncle finish speaking, I also said "Mm."
The priority now is to rush to the Misty Forest and enter it first.
With this thought, we quickened our pace a bit.
Although we had Guan Xin, a local guide, leading the way, this was a primeval forest.
The roads were complex, and thorny vines were everywhere along the way.
But fortunately, it wasn't midsummer, and with everyone cultivating, the journey wasn't too slow.
The only downside was Yun Long and Yun Hu.
Because of diarrhea, they had to stop several times, delaying us quite a bit...
After traveling for most of the night.
We climbed a mountain and finally saw our destination for the night, the Misty Forest.
Standing on the mountainside, looking into the distance.
Under the bright moonlight, we saw a large expanse of white mist.
The mist churned and pervaded.
In a few places, treetops emerged.
Guan Xin stood in front of everyone, pointing to the vast mist below:
"Below is the Misty Forest.
Daylight is about to break, we need to hurry down the mountain.
Once it gets light, entering it will cause us to get lost."
Guan Xin reminded again.
Emphasizing the strangeness of this mountain forest.
Everyone caught their breath, or drank some water, their spirits high.
Yun Xia Gu also said:
"Then let's not linger.
It's currently the middle of Yin hour, less than an hour until dawn.
We still need to hurry!"
Everyone nodded, and led by Guan Xin, they started moving again.
Going up a mountain is easy, coming down is hard.
The path down this mountain was very rugged.
Coupled with the rain from a few days ago, some areas had experienced mudslides.
The path Guan Xin was familiar with had long been destroyed, which added considerable difficulty for us.
If it weren't for Yun Long and Yun Hu's diarrhea, we would have had ample time.
But now, it was very rushed.
Everyone ran, panting heavily.
Many higher sections had to be jumped down recklessly.
Guan Xin also scratched her arm, and bandaging the wound caused another delay...
At this moment, Yun Xia Gu held a pocket watch, constantly checking the time.
Daylight began at Mao hour, which was five o'clock.
There were only about ten minutes left until five in the morning.
If we missed tonight, we would have to wait another day.
This would affect the Dao Alliance's plan.
It was also crucial for me to get the Soul Stone on time.
"Everyone, let's push a little harder, we're almost there!"
Yun Xia Gu encouraged everyone.
Everyone who came here was to showcase their skills and eliminate demons and protect the Tao.
No one wanted to fall behind.
They mustered their strength, and with the augmentation of their Dao energy, they ran forward rapidly.
"Hurry, hurry!"
"If we can't get in, our seventh team won't even get soup."
"Speed up! This time we'll get at least ten Dao Alliance points."
Everyone encouraged each other, running wildly through the mountains.
We were getting closer and closer to the Misty Forest.
The pervasive mist, like a waterfall.
Pouring down from high places, it covered the ground below the knees.
In the front, a large bamboo forest could be vaguely seen.
And in the middle of the bamboo forest, there was an opening about two meters wide.
Seeing this, Guan Xin excitedly pointed to the gap passage:
"It's there, we must enter the Misty Forest from there.
If we miss it, we'll get lost inside.
Once it's light, we won't be able to go any deeper..."
Everyone nodded.
Uncle even said:
"Let this poor monk scout ahead!"
After speaking, Uncle amplified his Dao energy.
He shot out with a "whoosh" sound, leaving everyone far behind.
But at that very moment.
The bamboos in the Misty Forest began to sway with a "swish, swish, swish" sound.
The mist surrounding them also began to gradually cover the entrance passage in the middle of the bamboo forest.
"Not good, the entrance is about to disappear!"
Guan Xin shouted again.
Everyone was anxious.
"Damn it, hurry up!"
"Yankee, put some more effort into it!"
"..."
Everyone shouted, putting in more effort.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," every person who ran through stirred up a gust of wind...
The mist covered.
Looking around, it seemed like there was a faint discovery.
The bamboos in the mist seemed to move on their own...
"These bamboos seem to move on their own."
I widened my eyes and said in surprise.
Yun Long and Yun Hu on the side also squinted and echoed:
"It seems my brother and I guessed right, a Qimen array was set up here.
The moving trees we see aren't really moving, they are illusions..."
"That's right, to have such a grand undertaking.
To cover an entire forest with an array, and to regulate the sun and moon.
It's really hard to imagine who this person could be..."
