Chapter 603: The Gloomy Forest (2/2)
Xue Wei was the youngest in their group, but he was also their moral support. He had brought them to see a much vaster world than they had ever known, or taught them the important things in life. Luoluo even felt that he was the reason for her to gain her freedom, so all of them were willing to listen to this young man as he spoke.
Although they all knew about the dangers they were to face, none of them mentioned the option of going back. To them, there was only one way; to keep moving forward.
The most intriguing thing was that they had walked for so long. The sandy area was not full of hills and dunes, and although the sandstorm had limited their view a little, they should have noticed this forest way sooner than they did.
By the time Ling Xiao had called out, the forest was only a few steps away from them, so they did not have much time to gather their thoughts.
”Should we rest here before we enter, or go straight away?” Hei Gou looked at the forest in front and the sandy landscape behind. His eyes were dim, and he was feeling somewhat troubled. It seemed that no matter which option they picked, they would suffer and be unable to rest properly.
”The sandstorm will not allow us any rest.”
Although Xue Wei would have liked to gather strength before entering a new area, he understood that it was not possible. The sandstorm had become more and more fierce as they approached the border, and they would be unable to benefit, even if they took a few moments to sit down.
”In that case, let us give this new area a try.” Hei Gou naturally respected Xue Wei's decision. He, too, understood the reason for this decision, but still felt that the dangers ahead could not be belittled.
”Wait!”
Just as they got ready to enter, Luoluo called out. ”I am not the most familiar with these various realms, but if this realm was merged with our world, could it, perhaps, be a realm made from different pocket dimensions? Then, each of these smaller realms has their own rules and regulations?
”If that is the case, then, maybe this forest has other secrets and traps waiting? Some of the pocket dimensions I entered before getting caught had the habit of splitting apart groups when entering.
”I am not sure if this is possible here, but I would rather ensure that we do not get split than to take a risk.”
As Luoluo finished speaking, the others felt somewhat fearful. Amongst their group, only Luoluo had entered more than a few pocket dimensions, so she had a better background knowledge than the rest. Even Bai Tianyi had not experienced this before, but he could already feel fear upon imagining what would happen if they got separated from one another.
