Chapter 558: Forest of Swords (II)

Chapter 558: Forest of Swords (II)

With a flash of light, Lin Qingcheng reappeared. In the span of a split second, she had passed through the shining portal into a strange land. She was still in a thick forest but she could no longer see Everblade City. Even the portal was gone and she was surrounded by trees in all directions.

She became alert and crouched behind a large tree trunk. She spread out her spiritual sense to search for any threats. In the past, she would have been frightened to death in such a situation but she was learned a lot in the last two years.

After a short while, she relaxed. She couldnt sense any other human nearby. The other three hundred and thirty-two people that had entered the forest with her had disappeared. She was alone in this unknown place. There were also no large beasts around. She could sense some birds and insects that had been disturbed by her arrival.

Her master had told her the secret realms environment would be different. Now, she fully understood what he meant. Compared to the normal mountain forest outside of Everblade City, this place gave her a strange sense of wonder. The air was cool but thick with an abundance of spiritual energy. The trees were huge and filled with vitality. The trunks were as wide as houses and the twisting branches formed a maze-like complex in the air.

She didnt know what kind of birds and insects were flying in the air. She couldnt identify any of the plants as their leaves and structures were beyond her knowledge. It was as if she had been transported to a different land, far away from the Eastern Sanmu Subcontinent.

Indeed, this was a common occurrence among secret realms. The term secret realm had a wide interpretation and applied to any confined place in the world of an artificial construct. This Forest of Swords was left behind by a supreme expert of the sword. It was beyond the comprehension of even immortals at the lower realms. It was unknown if sword truths were the only things of value here but nobody had discovered anything else in many hundreds of years.

Oh, right, the plan. Lin Qingcheng muttered to herself.

She had almost forgotten due to the excitement of arriving at this strange land. But late was better than never.

She looked around and then up the tree trunk she had been hiding behind. Sending spiritual strength into her limbs, she leaped and climbed straight up. After more than a few dead ends, she managed to reach the top. She retrieved a special message talisman and launched it into the air.

A streak of green fire shot up. After reaching its apex, it exploded with a great flash of green light which could be seen from dozens of kilometers away. After several seconds, another flash of green appeared near the southern horizon. It belonged to a fellow sister but she didnt know who.

She waited a long while but there were no other responses. This land was huge beyond her expectation. It was far larger than the verdant mountain range outside of Everblade City. But luckily, she was able to make contact on her first try.

Alright, lets go!

She quickly climbed down the tree and dashed towards that direction.

Uhh, where is this? Bei Yingluo grumbled as she stumbled and fell to her knees.

She held out her hand and the Jade Tusk Spear appeared. Immediately, the surrounding was filled with a heavy and mighty aura. She stabbed the dull end into the ground and retrieved several more items including a tent.

This Chang Bo was stunned.

You have a spatial bag? Chu Weifeng asked in astonishment.

Yup. Bei Yingluo replied simply.

She didnt need to explain but the other two already understood. They had underestimated Ten Thousand Flower Valley far too much. Even after their envious performance the previous three days, nobody knew their true strength.

Sister Bei, I was wondering, Chu Weifeng asked excitedly, Can I team up with you? We can help each other when exploring the forest.

Before Bei Yingluo could reply, Chang Bo made the same request, Sister Bei, can I join too? Just like old times?

Bei Yingluo laughed lightly, For mundane matters, we should take care of ourselves and be self-reliant. But for facing the dangers of the forest, I dont mind if we worked together.

Great!

Agreed!
