Accidentally Married A Fox God - The sovereign lord spoils his wife Chapter 18 Suspiciously Quie

The trio found themselves in a tropical region.

Was this really the bottom of the cliff?

The climate seemed entirely different.

Turns out the portal teleported the disciples to different designated locations, in efforts to have less odds of encountering fellow participants during the waiting period.

Li Meirong only saw such places on television. Very similar to South America's jungles and other tropical rainforests. Even the chilling cold dissipated. It was in fact quite warm and a little hard to breathe.

Gentle raindrops dripped on the overgrown shrubs and leaves. The earth was dark and soaked thoroughly, with more mud than dry ground. There was a lot of moisture everywhere.

Usually in forests there's constant sounds of buzzing insects and birds, however here it was suspiciously quiet.

Shu Qianqian in preparation drew out a dagger she had a attached to her legs and held it carefully in her hands, prepared to fight. Mo Jing on the other hand was empty handed, but his eyes were alert for any sudden movement.

Li Meirong tip toed behind her little protectors cautiously.

They tread through coiling paths and slippery ground. The further they went in, the bigger the plants appeared.

The trees were now so tall that as Li Meirong looked up, she couldn't see their end, only vines and foliage.

After nearly half a day of wandering in utter silence, the group couldn't help but start speculating ..

Maybe they landed in a lucky spot? Or maybe the hostile beings in the environment were wiped out?

One way or another, they were safe.

This situation made Li Meirong recall the previous day, as she walked through the forest path and no harm befell her, after hearing what her panions had to go through just to pass through the same area..She found out her circumstances were peculiar.

Mo Jing discovered a fortable spot to rest by a river bank and the group settled for the night.

As Li Meirong, Shu Qianqian and Mo Jing settled down on the ground, Qianqian couldn't help but ment. "This is too odd!"

Mo Jing nodded in agreement. "Even if we have been sent to a remote location without much population..I get the feeling that the creatures are all…Hiding from us." He voiced his suspicions out loud.

Li Meirong was also at odds with this predicament.

Granted, she might have seen too many fantasy movies and expected some killer plants to jump out and tackle them, but this eerie quietness was also disturbing. It looks like a jungle but not even a chirp of birds could be heard!

"Well, one way or another, this works in our favor. Let's stay alert just in case, who knows, maybe three days will pass without issue and we will bee official disciples." Li Meirong tried to reassure her panions. They nodded in response. That's true. If this will continue as such, they are sure to bee Forgotten Waters sect disciples.

Li Meirong rose up from the ground and stretched her sore limbs, it was bad timing but she had to go to the bathroom.

"Don't wander off." Mo Jing warned.

The feeling of being protected was truly sweet, she smiled at him gratefully.

Li Meirong said she'll be sure to stay close by, and excused herself.

She found a large bush that hides the view well and hid behind it. After relieving herself, she used one of the leaves from the bush to clean herself as best as she could and made her way back to her young panions.

For a moment, Li Meirong entertained the thought of having lost her way, but that was impossible, she wasn't even 100 steps away from MoJing and Shu Qianqian.

The river bank was right in front of her, the ground which still had their footprints lay ahead..

But her panions were gone..
