Yan Xiaobao and his friends were traveling when their path suddenly led into a massive forest. Xu Biao claimed that this forest wasn't part of the area they were familiar with.
"I'm certain," Xu Biao repeated, somewhat annoyed—not just because Hui Yue doubted him, but also because he himself struggled to believe it.
The usually straightforward road that should have been surrounded by farmland now directly cut through a rather dark and ancient forest, one that seemed to have thrived for centuries.
Seeing the road lead straight into the forest, Yan Xiaobao and Xu Biao decided to enter, but now it seemed like a terrible decision.
At first, upon entering the forest, they encountered the ruins of old cottages, swallowed by trees and the flora within the woods. Strangely, when someone examined these ruins, they didn't seem old—instead, they appeared well-maintained, with many items left inside the houses that seemed to have been used just days ago.
