Luochuan closed the door and did not try to move it. Instead, he took a piece of black cloth and covered the wooden door to prevent it from being stolen. Although there was nothing in this place for thieves to visit in the past, it might not be the case now.

He checked the inside and outside thoroughly and locked all the windows before leaving the castle and returning to his place of residence.

When he returned home, Luochuan wrote down the words he had seen earlier, in case he was careless one day.

After recording it down, he started to search for protective clothing and other necessary materials for survival in the wild.

The world behind that wooden door was endless. Luochuan did not have a professional instrument to check the composition of the air. It was unclear if there was any radiation that could cause harm to the human body. It was most suitable to wear protective clothing directly. As for cooperating with the outside world, this choice would never appear until one’s life was in danger.

If the magical item that connected the world was exposed, would there still be a share for oneself?

Protective clothing, safety helmet, strong torch, food, drinking water, pesticides, daggers, and small crossbow bolts. Luochuan had prepared everything that he could. If not for the fact that the sound of gunshots would be too loud and attract the attention of outsiders, he would have brought his submachine gun and grenades with him.

After the things were ready, Luochuan sent them into the castle overnight, waiting to explore the world behind the door tomorrow.

His vision was limited at night, so it was safer during the day.

The night passed without a word.

The next day, at eight o’clock in the morning, Luochuan finished his breakfast and entered the castle.

He waited until there were fewer pedestrians and vehicles nearby before he started to put on his protective clothing and safety helmet. The torchlight, food, and drinking water were all placed on his backpack, while the pesticides, daggers, and small crossbows were kept in a convenient place.

Before entering the room, Luochuan thought for a while and finally returned with a silenced pistol.

He came to the wooden door, took off the black cloth, took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked in.

After stepping into this world, he realized that something was not right.

The ground was a little too flat.

Luo Chuan stood on the ground and looked ahead. He could not see the bottom nor the people. It seemed that there were no living beings and no danger. He walked forward while patrolling.

“This strange world, what secrets does it have?”

…

In the endless world, near the forbidden ground of gods, in the dark forest.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A group of several hundred people was fleeing in panic in the dark forest. The moment the black scaled horse ran over, the ground was already covered by arrows. If they were a little slower, these people would be shot to death.

The ones chasing after them was an elite army of several tens of thousands of people. Smoke rose from the surroundings, forming a semicircle that surrounded them from all directions.

At this speed, it was only a matter of time before the people in front were killed.

The one leading the escape was the prince of the Bauhinia Kingdom, Li Yu.

The leader of the knights who followed him had been paying attention to the surrounding terrain. At this moment, his expression changed drastically. He seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, “Your Highness, we can’t go any further. In front of us is the forbidden ground of gods. We can’t offend the Gods.”

“We have to avoid it.”

The expressions of the guards behind him also became serious. The name itself, of the forbidden ground of gods, was very intimidating. This place had always been an ominous place. Basically, any living creature that entered the forbidden ground of gods would not be able to return.

Even if they left safely, they would not be able to live for more than three years.

This was a place that even the gods were forbidden to come to. It was said that there were the corpses of gods lying inside, forming a terrifying curse. The legend of this place had been passed down for millions of years.

“No, we can’t go around it.” Li Yu immediately rejected the suggestion from the knights’ captain.

“The Kingdom of Fire’s pursuers were very close to us previously. Right now, their two wings are speeding up their pursuit. However, the central army has slowed down its speed. If we go around it, we will be caught alive and then sent to the Kingdom of Fire to be executed. If we go forward, we might be in a desperate situation, and there might be a sliver of hope. At this point, it’s impossible for them to spare our lives.”

“Even if I die, I have to die in the forbidden land. If I drag a few of them with me, I’ll die. The world props of the Bauhinia Kingdom aren’t that easy to obtain.”

Speaking of the Kingdom of Fire, Li Yu’s expression was malevolent. It was obvious that he was extremely hateful in his heart.

The Bauhinia Kingdom and the Kingdom of Fire were mortal enemies. This time, the Bauhinia Kingdom had been plotted against and the capital had been destroyed. Li Yu’s father had been beheaded by the general of the Kingdom of Fire, and he had been sent directly to the capital of the Kingdom of Fire to take credit.

On the other hand, he was desperately escorted by the Knights. Four thousand knights had escaped to this place, and only a few hundred people were left.

The leader of the Knights was a little hesitant. “But isn’t this what they wanted?”

Li Yu shook his head with a bitter expression. “We have no other way. Moreover, the legend of the Forbidden Land of Gods was so long ago. Perhaps the power of the curse inside has dissipated and is no longer as terrifying as the rumors say. We have to speed up and try our luck. It’s just that we’ve implicated you all in taking the risk with me.”

The members of the Knights fell silent. The situation was now very obvious.

They could either walk towards the forbidden land of gods and try their luck. Perhaps there was a chance of survival, but there was no chance of survival if they took a detour.

The leader of the Knights lowered his head and pressed his sword with one hand. “I swear to follow His Highness the Prince to the death!”

“I swear to follow His Highness the Prince to the death!”

The remaining knights shouted at the same time, expressing their feelings.

They had been raised by the Bauhinia Kingdom and had given their lives to the prince. Naturally, they had to finish what they started. Even if they lost their lives, they had to protect the prince.

“Leader, in front… in front, what is that?”

At this moment, a knight pointed to the front with a terrified expression and asked with a trembling voice.

“What’s the situation?” The leader of the knights questioned with dissatisfaction.

When he looked in the direction where the knight pointed, an indescribable fear instantly spread throughout his entire body, and his body couldn’t help but tremble.

At the same time, both the group of Knights and Li Yu’s horses cried out in alarm, kneeling on the ground and not daring to get up.

Whether it was Prince Li Yu or the general of the Kingdom of Fire, it was difficult to describe their feelings at this moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A terrifying tremor came from the ground in the distance. It was as if a huge mountain range was moving.

With every step, there would be terrifying consequences. Cracks appeared on the ground. The towering trees were stepped into the ground on the spot. The wood-based trees were crushed into pieces.

Li Yu and the others were shocked to see a giant appear before their eyes.

This was not an ordinary giant that was more than twenty meters tall. It was a giant that was more than 30,000 meters tall.

They had seen giant mountains in the surrounding kingdoms, but none of them could compare to this giant before them. Compared to this giant, they were like ants.

One of the giant’s toes could stand shoulder to shoulder with a mountain.

They could not even see the height of this giant clearly, because the giant’s head was above the clouds, and they could only see half of its waist.
