Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 1: There must be a limit to partying!
Wow, wow, wow——

click, click, click—

The sound of rain and horse hooves intertwined and echoed in Li En's ears.

The cold rain hit his face, bringing a biting chill.

Why is it raining? Shouldn't I be in a hospital bed right now?
Li En suddenly remembered that he worked part-time distributing flyers at the school gate and had a heat stroke because he did not respect the summer enough.

If this is the case, then I am either in the hospital or in the school health room.

But, this bed seems a bit crowded?
Li En could feel people all around him, and warm breaths all around him.

In addition to the small living space, it is also a bit bumpy.

It must be a dream.

How could a hospital possibly cram so many people into one bed? Even throwing a party has to have a limit!
"Damn, shit, this is really bad luck."

"Hurry up and bury these people. We must wash them thoroughly with holy water when we return to avoid being infected with the plague."

"Yeah, how could we be so unlucky that this happened to us? I spent 10 copper coins at the snack shop and only just touched Miss Jenny's toes."

"Never lick a woman's feet. Look, my mouth isn't healed yet."

The unfamiliar voices interrupted Li En's thoughts.

The bumpy feeling of weightlessness disappeared, and a light source was gradually approaching.

A man holding a lantern appeared in front of Li En, dragged him out of the car while he was still in a semi-conscious state, and threw him roughly to the ground. The pain made Li En's mind gradually clear up.

He realized that this might not be a dream because it was too real.

Mud splashed all over him, and he rubbed his head which was buzzing from the fall, feeling even more painful.

A memory that did not belong to him came flooding back.

After a brief pause in his thoughts, Li En finally understood his situation.

This is a time travel! Li En Moriah, a native of the Holy Empire, the illegitimate son of a certain important figure.

He had lived with his mother in the border town of Lanmei for many years until his mother passed away, leaving him to search for his biological father.

So he quit his job at the blacksmith shop, boarded a caravan's carriage, and headed to Green Shade Territory, but unfortunately he encountered bandits who were robbing the caravan.

They finally escaped and came to the city gate to seek help, but they were mistaken for sick refugees, beaten unconscious by the guards, and sent here.

Now the guards' job is to bury them alive to prevent the disease from spreading throughout the city.

"Don't bury us alive. We are not infected. We are a legitimate caravan."

The captain of the caravan stood up. He was a middle-aged man with a full beard. He felt in his pocket and wanted to bribe the guards, but found that he was penniless.

Others who were conscious also began to beg for mercy.
"Please, let us go, we are not sick."

"Really, we are still very healthy, my lords, please believe us, we were just robbed by bandits and we really haven't contracted any disease."

"We are also legal citizens of the Empire. You can't do this. We will prosecute you."

The scene became chaotic for a moment. If the guards had not been armed, the adult men in the caravan would probably have started resisting.

"You selfish and dirty underground rat, do you want to bring disease to Green Shade Territory?"

The guard in soft leather armor drew his dagger and struck the caravan captain who was leading the riot hard on the head.

Blood flowed out from the captain's forehead. He fell in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, as if accusing the world of injustice.

"People who are sick always say they are not sick. Just be quiet."

The guard shouted angrily, and the voice begging for mercy instantly became much quieter.

After everyone quieted down, Li En said,
"I am the illegitimate son of Lord Moria, the Lord of Green Shade Territory. You cannot kill me."

After hearing what Li En said, the guard put away his dagger.

Li En's tense nerves had just relaxed when he heard familiar words ringing in his ears.

"I am also the illegitimate son of Lord Moria, the Lord of Green Shade Territory. You cannot kill me."

"I am the illegitimate son of Lord Moria, the Lord of Green Shade Territory. You cannot kill me."

"I am the illegitimate son of the real Lord Moria of Green Shade Territory. You cannot kill me."

The people in the caravan panicked, and in order to save their lives, they all began to imitate Li En.

Li En was also panicked. This group of people had no martial ethics!

As expected, the guard drew his dagger again.

"A bunch of shit! If you are the lord's illegitimate children, I am the lord's grandfather! How dare you make fun of me?"

Four or five guards drew their weapons and started beating up everyone.

Just as the guard's dagger was about to pierce Li En, his pupils suddenly dilated, revealing an expression of immense fear. They quickly turned around and fled in panic.

"Why did the guard leave?"

"Do you believe what we say?"

"Anyway, it's great that we don't have to die."

Just as everyone was rejoicing for having avoided the fate of being buried alive, they heard the guards' screams.

"Ah - damn it, it caught me, help, help."

Accompanied by a hoarse shout, the lantern fell to the ground with a clang, and the horse neighed in fright.

Under the dim light, everyone saw that the soldier's body was torn apart by something and his intestines were thrown out.

Then several other soldiers raised their daggers and shields, but unfortunately they didn't know what unknown horror they had encountered. After a burst of chaotic screams, the forest returned to peace.

The dagger and shield were stained with blood and lay quietly not far from the lantern.

Everyone's heart instantly rose to their throat.

Some women couldn't help but scream.

Li En's Adam's apple rolled and he kept saliva secreting.

The lantern was extinguished by someone unknown, and the surroundings fell into endless darkness, which made the atmosphere of terror reach its climax.

Click - click - click -

It seems like something is coming!

"Damn it! Run! This is the Bone Forest!"

"Run away, run away!"

"Help!"

The agile people were the first to climb out of the mud and rushed outside.

Li En could only think calmly by pinching his thigh flesh and letting the pain temporarily drive away his fear.

No! We can't move! These monsters should be closer to us, but they attacked the guards first. If it's not because of the light source, then it's because they're moving!

His guess was soon verified.

The first group of people who rushed out were suddenly attacked.

In the blink of an eye, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and their bodies were as fragile as paper men and were torn to pieces.

The broken limbs fell in front of Li En, and warm blood splashed all over his face.

I don't know when the rain stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and a ray of moonlight shone down.

Li En saw the monsters' faces clearly.

Those are mutant trees.

Their trunks are topped with facial features similar to those of humans, but these facial features are twisted into a ball.
The bulging eyeballs rolled around, and the branches were soft and slender, dancing in the sky, as if trying to catch any living thing passing by them.

They hung the torn bodies on themselves as if they were their trophies.

The pungent smell of blood spread to every corner.

The tree monsters laughed coldly, and the sound of the whistling night wind irritated Li En's nerves.

Li En stood there in a daze, fear crawling all over his body like maggots in his bones. His legs felt like they were filled with lead and he had completely lost the ability to move.

He had never seen such a horrific scene.

Compared with these powerful tree monsters, humans are simply vulnerable.

If I just stand there like this, I can only delay the time of being killed.

I still won't survive when the monsters kill everyone.

Am I going to die here on the first day of my journey?

I really can't accept this...

Before Li En had time to reminisce about his short life, he heard the sound of heavy shackles.

Dang, Dang, Dang——

The monsters in the forest stopped moving and looked into the deep darkness.

It seems like a more terrifying existence is approaching...
