With their hastened pace, they managed to cover the thirty-kilometer distance in just one hour, successfully reaching their destination.

It was an obviously differently colored forest compared to where they had come.

If the previous forest seemed lush and full of life, this one inspired a sense of death. Even the branches and leaves were black.

“This

The group halted before the dark forest. Apart from Chu Zixuan and Jingyuan, everyone else began to tremble involuntarily.

Standing at the divide, one forest brought a cool, comfortable sensation, while the other stirred an uneasy chill.

“Do you see it?”

Jingyuan turned his head towards Chu Zixuan regardless of the group’s thoughts and began to inquire.

He had previously briefed Chu Zixuan about certain things.

Chu Zixuan simply nodded in response.

Scattered throughout the forest ahead were countless terrifying creatures.

Black, tank-sized spiders crawled everywhere. In addition, there were all sorts of venomous bugs, scorpions, and centipedes that seemed to have grown unnaturally large.

Their bright appearance alone suggested they were highly poisonous. Not far from these small creatures, a massive tiger was lounging by a large rock, basking in the sunlight.

The venomous creatures, with seeming mutual understanding, didn’t dare provoke the tiger. When passing by, they would always take the long way around.

As for the tiger, it showed no interest in bothering the small creatures. They coexisted in mutual non-interference.

“Point out the exact direction for me!”

Jingyuan swiftly pulled an electronic device from his bag. As he asked this, he promptly inserted the device into a tree.

Chu Zixuan pointed in a direction and spoke: “That way, about nine kilometers away!”

“Alright, I got it!”

After setting up the device, Jingyuan turned towards the group with a faint smile, saying: “You guys stay put, I’ll go inside to carry out the mission...”

Upon hearing they didn’t have to enter such a gloomy place, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to leave, Jingyuan paused as if remembering something. He turned to Chu Zixuan and said again: “Chu Zixuan, keep an eye on my movements. If you’re sure I can’t make it back, lead everyone to retreat!”

If his Divine Power hadn’t reached the Orange Level and dramatically increased, he wouldn’t have been able to see such minute details. He couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, muttering to himself.

Can shadows not avoid attacks either?

At that moment, Jingyuan, who was hiding inside the tiger’s shadow, was at a loss for words.

Before departing, he had been full of confidence.

Because his shadow superpower allowed him to ignore 99-99% of damage after blending with the shadows. Even though his attack power wasn’t great after blending, he was confident of having the best survival ability.

However, when he attached himself to the tiger’s shadow, he was discovered before he could even observe his surroundings. Upon being swatted, he was actually injured!

“Ignoring 99-99% of injuries eh... this tiger’s attack power is too strong!”

Just from this, he sustained internal injuries.

“Thud!”

“Thud!”

“Thud!”

The giant tiger was furious and extremely irritated by the intrusion on its shadow. After several swipes which sent tremors through the ground, the blood seeping from the shadow had increased substantially.

Jingyuan, still in the tiger’s shadow, gritted his teeth through the pain, murmuring to himself.

“Could it be... as the Shadow King, a hero for ages... will I meet my end here?”

“Xuan Qiao, how fast does a smell spread in the air?”

Chu Zixuan was staring off into the distance when he suddenly asked another question.

Xuan Qiao laughed and said: “I’ve specifically studied this. It’s faster than sound speed...”

“Roar!”

Before he could finish, a tiger’s roar was heard from a distance.

The intense sound wave caused the nearby leaves to flutter and fragile tree trunks to fall.

“What’s going on?”

Everyone quickly covered their ears, discussing loudly.

Chu Zixuan tensed, suddenly crying out in alarm: “Run, it’s coming!”

Finishing his sentence, he immediately led the group to run back in the direction they came from..
