Chapter 229 The Master of the Forest
Zhou Xun watched Zheng Sheng and the others leave, wanting to go forward and offer some advice, but after hesitating for a moment, he gave up.
"Captain Zhou, this guy is far too wary. He doesn't seem to trust us at all."
Zhou Xun shook his head, but his gaze toward Zheng Sheng showed even more admiration.
"We've only met them briefly, so this level of caution is justified."
"And only people like that are likely to live longer!"
"They will come back. This forest is a one-way street; you can only enter, not leave. Once he has verified it himself, he will come back to find us!"
After Zhou Xun finished speaking, he quickly led the Yu Huo team back to the camp.
As soon as they returned to the camp, two people rushed over in a panic, their faces filled with terror.
"Team Leader Zhou, something bad has happened! More than 100 people have suddenly disappeared from the team."
Zhou Xun was greatly alarmed.
"What happened? Didn't I tell you to count people in groups of three every five minutes? How come another hundred people have disappeared?!"
"Captain Zhou, we're doing it exactly as you instructed, but... but..."
"But what?"
"But they just vanished suddenly, as if the ground suddenly swallowed them up. What's underground?"
Seeing the two panicked individuals, Zhou Xun's face was extremely grim.
"Take me to see this. This time I'll personally guard it and see what kind of evil thing is causing this trouble!"
After Zhou Xun finished speaking, he led the Yu Huo squad past the two men and headed aggressively toward the camp.
Halfway there, Zhou Xun suddenly realized that the two messengers hadn't followed, which annoyed him.
"What are you two standing there for? Lead the way!"
As Zhou Xun spoke, he turned to look at the two people behind him.
He froze on the spot!
All I saw was...
There was nothing behind them.
The two people who had just delivered the message had vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
Where are they?
"Why did they suddenly disappear?"
"Captain Zhou, are we seeing things? They were just behind us a moment ago!"
"Could it be that we've encountered a ghost?"
The members of the Ember Squad stared blankly at the empty space behind them, and soon a chill ran down their spines as a tremendous fear welled up from the bottom of their hearts!
They were just talking to the two of them.
The two people were clearly right in front of him.
The moment their gaze shifted away, the two living people vanished without a trace, without them even noticing!
What on earth is going on?!
Zhou Xun also stood there stunned, cold sweat pouring down his back.
Having inherited the Remnant Flame, he is now a powerful figure in the second tier, with greatly increased strength, and is also the strongest member of the entire Remnant Flame Squad.
But just now, the two disappeared without him noticing at all.
"Quickly! Gather everyone together and don't let them out of my sight!"
"From this moment forward, no one is allowed to leave the assembly area!"
……
……
Survival Highway.
Zheng Sheng rode Little Blackie, leading the main force of survivors forward, their speed noticeably increasing.
The survival road in the forest was very quiet. Apart from the sudden blockade of three groups of people earlier, there were no other obstacles on the road, and the journey was smooth.
Occasionally, a few mutated beasts would appear on the road, but Zheng Sheng didn't even need to lift a finger; Uncle Niu and Zhang Mu could handle them.
They would walk for hours at a time.
Despite the seemingly terrifying forest, it was surprisingly peaceful; for several hours, not a single person in the group died.
This kind of safety should make everyone happy.
But for some reason, this unusual tranquility made everyone increasingly uneasy as they walked.
Even the little black dog beneath him felt uneasy, its eyes scanning its surroundings warily, as if it saw enemies everywhere.
It felt like there were eyes watching me from all around!
Zheng Sheng frowned. This was the first time he had ever felt this unease from Xiao Heizi. Even back at Jin Guang Temple, Xiao Heizi hadn't acted this way.
"Captain, I feel like there are eyes watching us. It's like this forest is coming to life?"
Grandpa Niu approached Zheng Sheng with unease. He looked around the road and saw strange plants growing everywhere around the forest, many of which had huge eyes on them.
For example, the big-eyed tulip they saw at the beginning, a plant that is everywhere in the forest.
In addition, some large trees also have huge eyes with veins covering them, which look very creepy.
Whenever they pass by the survival road, these eyes on both sides of the road follow them, as if they are constantly watching them.
Grandpa Niu quickly looked away.
The countless eyes in the forest always made him feel as if the entire forest was alive.
Moreover, he has been experiencing hallucinations ever since the beginning.
Ahua, Guihua, Alian... they all seem to be by my side, constantly telling me to run faster!
He had already encountered this situation twice before, once in the Ghost Bride's Ghost Realm and once in the Golden Light Temple.
Zheng Sheng could also see the unease of Grandpa Niu and the others, because he felt the same way.
"Don't look around, let's keep going!"
We walked for several more hours.
The dense, eerie forest around them gradually thinned out, and thick clouds could be seen in the sky again, indicating that they had reached the edge of the forest.
Even the moss on the survival road has decreased significantly.
Upon seeing this, the survivors in the group all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look, it's the sky! We're finally going to leave this forest!"
"I always felt like something in the forest was watching us. Finally, we can leave."
"Those people also said that this forest is only for entering, not for leaving—that's all lies! The Living Buddha is the only reliable one!"
As the entire survivor team emerged from the forest, everyone's anxiety gradually subsided, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The main force continued along the road, but after less than ten minutes, everyone noticed something amiss again.
"Look, there's a huge shadow ahead of the road!"
"It's...it's a forest?! How come it's another forest?!"
At the front of the group, Zheng Sheng also looked at the dark forest in the distance with a grim expression. This was obviously the place they had just left.
"From the very beginning, I activated the Vajra Dharma Form, the Purple Thunder Bloodline, and the Demon-Subduing Black Dog Blood. There was clearly nothing unusual, so why did I come back?"
This was the first time Zheng Sheng had encountered such a situation.
It should be noted that even in the Ghost Bride's Ghost Realm, he was unaffected by the Ghost Realm and could come and go freely.
As the main force continued forward, Zheng Sheng soon discovered a pile of charred ashes by the roadside.
It was Li Chenggang and the others who were dealt with when he left.
"Captain Zheng, this is..." Zhang Mu stared in shock at the pile of ashes, his body trembling slightly with fear.
Grandpa Niu and the others behind him also looked terrified.
"Could it be some kind of ghost wall?"
"But we clearly left the forest before!"
When the group looked again at the pile of ashes beside the road, it was clear that the forest in front of them was not an illusion.
They really did end up back where they started!
Zheng Sheng remained silent for a moment, then turned around and walked back with his men instead of continuing into the forest.
"Let's go back!"
Half an hour later, a dark forest appeared before them again, the very exit they had left through.
Obviously.
The owner of this forest does not want them to leave!
