Chapter 446: The Forest Of Enchantment For The First Time
Lu Yu and the other two watched as the figures around them gradually disappeared at the entrance of the spatial portal. He nodded towards the two women.
"Let's set off too."
"Okay!"
The three of them held hands and walked into the spatial portal together.
This was a detail they had learned before.
The portal appeared to lead to a vast grassland, but in reality, the destination was random and could be anywhere.
However, if a few people held hands, they could end up together.
The condition was that there could be a maximum of three people.
Inside this trial space, there was not only grassland, but also mountains, rivers, seas, deserts, and various other terrains.
Strictly speaking, this place belonged to another world.
However, the spiritual energy in this world was much more abundant than the one Lu Yu was in, and it could give birth to more treasures of heaven and earth.
Unfortunately, people from this world couldn't stay inside for long. At most, one month. If they didn't teleport out, they would be killed by the spatial force due to the different dimensions.
That's why the trial lasted for a month.
After Lu Yu and the other two, along with Xiao Hua, entered the portal, they suddenly appeared in another world.
To their surprise, they appeared in mid-air!
"Why am I in the sky!"
"Ah, I'm afraid of heights..."
Wei Xiao Xian and Bai Ling Er were terrified when they saw that they were hundreds of meters above the ground.
Only Lu Yu adjusted slightly and quickly mobilized his spiritual energy to form a parachute-like object to slow down their descent.
Only when one reached the Nascent Soul stage could they fly in the air. For now, they could only rely on this unorthodox method to ensure they wouldn't die from falling.
Looking down from mid-air, they saw a lush forest below.
Looking into the distance, the forest seemed endless. Even from several hundred meters above, they couldn't see the end in any direction.
"This world is too big."
After a moment of reflection, Lu Yu pulled the two women and landed on the crown of a large tree.
Xiao Hua leaped from his shoulder and landed directly on the ground.
After all, it was a cat demon, and this environment could be considered its home ground.
The three slowly descended from the treetop to the ground, but when they looked up, they realized that the trees here were incredibly tall.
Looking down from above, they didn't feel much, but looking up from below, they realized that these trees were at least twenty to thirty meters tall!
The thick trunks had a diameter of six to seven meters, truly deserving the title of towering trees.
"These trees are so big, and there's no sunlight coming in from below. It feels eerie."
Bai Ling Er looked around and felt something was off.
Experiencing this forest from below was completely different from observing it from mid-air.
"Indeed, there's no sunlight, and the ground is so damp. This place really makes people uncomfortable."
Wei Xiao Xian also nodded.
They were all normal people who enjoyed sunlight. The dim environment made them feel uneasy.
But there was nothing they could do. This forest was estimated to be at least a thousand miles wide, and it would probably take them some time to get out.
The trial only lasted for a month, and they would probably have to spend more than half of that time in this forest.
"Let's familiarize ourselves with the environment first, and then think about where to search for treasures."
Lu Yu sighed helplessly.
The environment here is not great, but the trial must continue.
A few people explored the surroundings and didn't find anything strange.
It's really just an ordinary forest.
Although these trees are very tall, there is no trace of spiritual energy emanating from them. They are just ordinary big trees.
Because of the shade of the trees, the ground below is covered in a layer of damp, decaying leaves.
Stepping on it feels soft, but uncomfortable.
"This place is eerie! Can you feel it? It's like there isn't even a single animal around!" Lu Yu looked around and said.
Not to mention animals, he didn't even hear the chirping of insects or the singing of birds.
The forest is quiet, as if time has stood still.
"You're right! This place is really strange."
Bai Ling'er shivered inexplicably and cautiously hid behind Lu Yu, feeling as if there was something dirty behind her.
Wei Xiaoxian wasn't any better off than her.
This is the first time she has encountered such a strange environment, so she instinctively wants to find a safe place to hide.
Lu Yu sensed their fear and sighed softly.
These two are like delicate flowers raised in a greenhouse, they have never experienced the dangers of the outside world.
Fortunately, he did his homework before.
Bai Pangzi collected a lot of information about this world, and now it seems to be useful.
This forest is called the Mysterious Forest, meaning that once you enter, you won't be able to discern the direction and will soon get lost.
Without the guidance of the starry sky and the sun, it's strange not to get lost when you come here.
Especially the magnetic field here is chaotic, even a compass can't point the way.
When previous challengers came here, almost every one of them wandered around the forest for thirty days before being sent out.
But this forest is not completely devoid of life.
After all, there are so many big trees.
There are a few places with abundant spiritual energy, where some treasures can be nurtured, if you're lucky enough to obtain them.
"Lu Yu, come and see, someone has left a mark here!"
Just as Lu Yu was hesitating about which way to go, Xiaohua discovered a strange symbol on a tree nearby.
They went over to take a look and indeed found an arrow symbol on the tree.
Following this symbol, they walked forward for dozens of meters and found the same symbol on another tree.
"These should be marks left by previous challengers. Following these marks, we can at least ensure that we won't get lost."
Wei Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief after seeing these human-made marks.
These marks gave her some confidence, and she wasn't as scared anymore.
But Lu Yu shook his head gently.
"The information I collected before shows that the challengers who came to this forest never took away any valuable treasures. So, following their path probably won't lead us to anything good. Let's go in a different direction!"
"That's fine too, but let's make our own marks so that we don't get lost later."
Bai Ling'er nodded.
They entrusted the task of marking to Xiaohua.
Its claws casually scratched the trunk a few times, forming a unique arrow shape.
This is the direction they will move forward in.
