Chapter 1410 - I Only Want You (1/2)

There were no longer any weeds on the ground. Instead, there were plants that had intertwined branches.

It seemed impossible to proceed.

The ground was covered by the strange plant.

Fat Lass was astounded. However, they did not stay any longer and instead continued to proceed forward while trampling on the ground.

The uneven terrain caused them to slow down greatly.

When they finally entered the woods, they realized that they had no sense of direction at all. Hence, they could only rely on the compass.

After trekking for an hour, they began to feel as if the roads ahead were endless. While they were taking a break, Fat Lass asked, “Sis, didn’t they say that there are lots of menacing beasts in here? Why haven’t we seen any yet?”

“Do you actually want to see them? It’s better that we don’t chance upon them, lest we get put in danger. Maybe we’re just too slow and haven’t reached their territory yet. However, I hope that we don’t see those creatures.”

“True. It’s best if they never surface.”

Feeling warm and thirsty, Jing Chu took out a bottle of mineral water and finished half of it before letting Fat Lass have the other half. Just as Fat Lass was about to discard the empty bottle, Jing Chu stopped her and said, “Don’t throw it away. We can use it to collect water once we find a potable water source.”

Fat Lass nodded and put the bottle away.

They continued on their journey after a short break.

There were lots of bugs and insects in the woods. Thus, they were both covered in bites from head to toe.

When Fat Lass started scratching the itchy bites continuously, Jing Chu advised her to stop. Only then did Fat Lass realize that she had scratched off the skin on her legs and that they had started to bleed.

“Bear with it. The itchiness will fade after a while. The more you scratch them, the itchier they will be.”

“Sis Jing Chu, I have a feeling that these bugs are different from ordinary ones. The ones here are huge.”

“Yes, I discovered that too. However, the fact that there are bugs here just goes to show that life is supported here. Otherwise, how did these trees become so strong and sturdy? Let’s keep going. We must find a suitable spot to take shelter before the sky turns dark.”

“Sis, look… ahead of you.”

Jing Chu looked up to see that there were thick fumes of smoke moving toward them slowly.

She had an ominous feeling. For the past two months, Pei Yi had been constantly telling her about the other element that exists in the forest.

It was miasma, a poisonous gas.

Continuous exposure to miasma would result in rapid poisoning, which will eventually become fatal if not treated in time.

Fortunately, she had already made the necessary preparations before hand. She quickly handed a mask to Fat Lass and said, “It’s miasma. Hurry and put this on. You can’t inhale that gas. It’s poisonous and will kill you.”

Fat Lass frantically put the mask on, after which Jing Chu handed her another handkerchief. They covered their noses and mouths tightly, after which the fumes of miasma surged forward and engulfed them.

“Fat Lass, let’s hurry and get out of here. Quick.”

“Alright.”

The duo picked up their speed. At this moment, Jing Chu could no longer be bothered to check the compass. She had no time for that at all. They continued to charge forward, as if they were being chased.

Almost half an hour later, the fumes slowly began to dissipate. They sprinted forward with all their might.

Finally, they made it out of the woods.

They removed their masks and began coughing violently.
