As time passed second by second, Nianyang's team cautiously moved forward.
However, as Nianyang and Shi Nuan progressed, they found the terrain increasingly steep, with rocks that were very loose and damp, making it very difficult to navigate. In just half an hour, everyone was covered in mud, looking very disheveled!
Nianyang had thought Chu Huan would stir up trouble, but she remained silent and cooperative throughout. Nianyang felt uneasy, as something unusual was bound to happen; they needed to stay alert.
Along the way, they saw many strange beasts darting around, and even encountered numerous poisonous snakes.
He Huixi shrank behind Shi Nuan, looking terrified, "Umm, why do I feel it's getting more eerie as we go? Weren't we assigned to an ordinary forest? Why does this feel a bit like a maze!"
Shi Nuan pondered, "Indeed, it seems strange. This mountain top is a bit like those dangerous ones in movies, and it's surrounded by high peaks."
