Chapter 1332: Chapter 1332 Dark Forest
A month later, Qin Sisi and Ye You finally saw the end of the No Delusion Deep Sea.
The end of the No Delusion Deep Sea was neither a white sandy beach nor towering mountains, but a forest that stretched endlessly.
This forest was incredibly dense, its towering canopy showcased a strong dark green, and the forest itself was vast, just like the No Delusion Deep Sea, from the starting point, the end was not visible at all, all the eyes could see was vast swathes of dense green.
Having heard too many terrifying legends about the Dark Forest, Ye You didn’t dare to venture in imdiately but cautiously parked the flying device on the forest’s edge, and took out a prepared Red-bellied Golden Pheasant from his portable space to use as food.
The Red-bellied Golden Pheasant was already dead, and Ye You released wind attribute magic power to send it into the air above the Dark Forest, which from a distance looked like the Red-bellied Golden Pheasant was flying.
Their eyes closely followed the "flying" Red-bellied Golden Pheasant, wanting to see what it would encounter.
At this ti, the dead Red-bellied Golden Pheasant took on the task of a scout, flying over the Dark Forest, and after about a hundred ters, two slender vines suddenly stretched out from the Dark Forest below and swiftly, accurately entangled the Red-bellied Golden Pheasant.
In the next second, the Red-bellied Golden Pheasant was pulled into the depths of the Dark Forest and could no longer be seen.
Qin Sisi and Ye You were both secretly shocked; the Dark Forest was indeed fraught with danger. If they were to pass by, riding the flying device, they would likely not escape being pulled down.
Since the flying device would also encounter attacks, Ye You decided not to proceed recklessly into the forest’s depths relying on the flying device’s power but chose to enter from the forest’s edge and gradually advance while getting familiar with the surroundings.
To reduce attention, Ye You transford into a black cat again, then stored the flying device back into the portable space, and the two cats, one black, one white, lightly landed on a tall tree from the sky.
The two of them steadied themselves on the tree and carefully observed the environnt around them.
The Dark Forest lived up to its na. Because the trees were tall and dense, the canopy blocked most of the sunlight, making the lower spaces very dim, as it always was throughout the year.
The particular tree they perched on was especially sturdy, with the trunk reaching a diater of one ter, and the dense branches spread out like a giant umbrella that covered the sky.
Qin Sisi looked down to see a few brightly colored mushrooms growing in the soil close to the trunk; the mushroom caps were a brilliant rose red, dotted with golden-yellow spots, looking especially beautiful, reminiscent of mushrooms often depicted in so fairy tale illustrations.
But Qin Sisi furrowed her brow because she had read about these mushrooms in a book; they were called strawberry mushrooms. Although they looked pretty and had a nice-sounding na, beneath their beautiful exterior was a venomous heart.
Strawberry mushrooms are highly poisonous; even just touching them can cause poisoning, leading to anything from lightheadedness to death.
They were only at the forest’s edge yet had already encountered such terrifying creatures, raising concerns about what dangers might be lurking deeper in the forest.
Besides, the mushrooms she had seen before were all rather small, whereas the strawberry mushrooms below had grown very large, with caps reaching around half a ter in diater.
It was unclear if this was due to the rarity of human presence, a favorable environnt, or if creatures in the Dark Forest tended to grow larger than those elsewhere.
Qin Sisi softly reminded Ye You, and the two of them slowly climbed down from the tree, cautiously heading deeper into the forest.
As they advanced, they released earth attribute magic power to surround their bodies, preventing the poisonous plants and trees from direct contact with their skin.
The Dark Forest housed a large number of plants and animals, but the environnt was not noisy; instead, it was very quiet. Plants grew silently, insects crawled quietly, and only occasionally ca a few lodious bird calls from the treetops.
This scene might give a person the illusion of being in a very safe and stable environnt.
However, traversing here was not easy. Besides the massive trees, the ground was also covered with lush wild grass, various shrubs, and vines, crawling with various insects, with no paths to tread.
Initially, they managed to move forward, but gradually, the vine plants beca restless. If not careful, touching them would make the vines instantly launch an attack, trying to bind the careless intruder.
The vines attacked with great agility and suddenness, often leaving one defenseless.
Qin Sisi moved very slowly and lightly, yet without caution, she stepped on a vine hidden under the fallen leaves.
The vine, once stimulated, sprang up imdiately and quickly wrapped toward Qin Sisi.
When Qin Sisi entered the Dark Forest, she already held in her hand the Golden Scale Snake Whip obtained from the Sky Scar Labyrinth in the No Delusion Deep Sea. Attacked, she imdiately raised the weapon to counterattack.
The Golden Scale Snake Whip entwined with the vine, two rope-like objects tightly intertwined. Qin Sisi pulled back with force, and the vine also struggled to escape the Golden Scale Snake Whip’s restraint.
After a bout of struggle, the Golden Scale Snake Whip finally prevailed, splitting the vine into many small segnts, stripping it entirely of its attack power.
Just as Qin Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, another vine silently approached her from behind.
Ye You squinted his eyes, gathered gold attribute magic power in his palm, and gently chopped towards the vine, instantly cutting it into two segnts.
However, both segnts of the vine were relatively long and didn’t die off imdiately; instead, they launched another attack on Qin Sisi.
Ye You simply took out the Sparrow Spirit Scepter and hacked down, slicing the vine into countless pieces, finally putting it to an end.
After this little interlude, they both felt that moving on the ground wasn’t a wise decision, so the two cats climbed back up the tree along the trunk.
The trees in the Dark Forest were dense, with canopies often touching each other, and branches intermingling.
Cats are excellent climbers, so they could choose to move forward on the trees along the intertwined branches.
But even this way wasn’t entirely safe because if the vines grew long enough, they would wrap around the trees, presenting the sa trigger risks.
However, compared to walking on the forest floor, progressing on the trees was much safer.
The two cats nimbly traversed the trees, jumping from one to another; these trees were exceptionally thick, with countless large and small side branches.
After transforming into cats, their bodies beca nimble and agile, allowing them to move safely and smoothly along the branches.
When they had almost reached a hundred ters, Ye You reminded Qin Sisi to be careful because it was approximately at this distance that the Red-bellied Golden Pheasant was pulled into the forest by the vines.
